Tina is, as usual, doing an outstanding job of putting a cover together. This is one of the ideas for the western cover!
I like it!
That was a disappointing Stupor Bowl…
KC rolled over and died, there wasn’t a single good commercial (can we say WOKE!)
Although the Bud ad was decent…
And that halftime ‘performance’… Really? Bunch of guys with jock straps on their heads?
The only thing positive was the good company and the food!!!
It was a team effort, folks brought lots of stuff and most of it got eaten! AND they helped clean up too!!!
WHAT to make of this… Bragging? Explaining? I have no idea…
The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election
A weird thing happened right after the Nov. 3 election: nothing.
The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence.
<snip>
This is the inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election, based on access to the group’s inner workings, never-before-seen documents and interviews with dozens of those involved from across the political spectrum.

There are some ‘interesting’ admissions in this. I just wonder how long it will stay up!
Your thoughts?
And apparently you WILL draw a ban on FB for even mentioning Ocasio-Smollett…
And the Intarwebz is forever… As are the comments people make, sometimes in jest, sometimes not. Some of us just didn’t realize how true they were…
Interesting article from Forbes on Portland, OR…
BLUF- Can one die from shooting oneself in the foot? Yes, if the wound goes untreated. Portland has shot itself in the foot. Most likely, the people of the city will come around and seek treatment. But if they don’t, the wound will prove fatal.

And this one is kinda odd, all things considered, since the rioting is continuing…
Housing prices continue to go up and fewer homes on the market? Odd…

Oregon is getting as schizophrenic as California between the riots, departures of companies, and people that can leaving in droves. I have NO idea where this is going to end.
A dead city or an insular Dem enclave/utopia? You tell me…
From a new article at Ammo.com-
Protection or Pain Treatment: Choosing Between Your Gun and Medical Marijuana
If you’ve ever filled out a Form 4473, you’re familiar with the Question 11e: “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or other controlled substance?” In case you thought there was any ambiguity with regard to medical marijuana, you were wrong. Indeed, there is a warning in bold right underneath the question that clarifies:
“Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized or for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.”
The article is well thought out and discusses the facts of the current situation, including the fact that, while some states have made medical marijuana legal, FEDERALLY it is still illegal.

While I can understand how people would want the law changed, if it were, it would only be a matter of time before alcoholics would be wanting to drink and carry. Personally, I’m against allowing it as I’ve dealt with both alcoholics and dopers when they were high. They BOTH exhibit unsafe behaviors and much like the DUI driving laws, there is no specification of ‘what’ influence you’re under when stopped.
Here’s a quick comparison of behaviors-
Alcohol- Other short-term effects include:
- coordination and reflex issues
- impaired cognitive skills
- impaired judgment
- relaxation
- giddiness
- drowsiness
- restlessness
- shorter attention span
- nausea and vomiting
Marijuana- Short-term reported effects include:
- altered perception of time
- coordination and reflex issues
- impaired cognitive skills
- impaired judgment
- relaxation (though it can also make others feel anxious)
- giddiness
- drowsiness
- nausea
- pain relief
- dry mouth
- dry, red eyes
- increased hunger
YMMV, and feel free to disagree with me. I’m an old fart so I won’t be around much longer and y’all will have to deal with all this stuff…
Who remembers…
I can remember this as a little kid in the mid 50s, going to Woolworth’s was a once every couple of months thing. I was allowed to get either a grilled cheese sandwich or meatloaf and cornbread sticks.
Research the old fashioned way…
And then I got older… And liked rocking and rolling…
Got this from an old shipmate, not our crew, but a LOT of time at 200′, routinely doing 45 degree or more banks to get back around on ‘things’… 🙂
We can do everything with solar and wind, right?

h/t Proud Hillbilly for the list
“It should be clear to everyone that there is no means and no force which can halt this struggle of the peoples for their liberation, for it’s a great historic process, one of ever-growing and invincible power. It may be possible to prolong the dominion of one state over another for a year or two, but just as in the past the bourgeois order of things came to replace feudalism and as, now, socialism is replacing capitalism, so colonial slavery is giving place to freedom. Such are the rules of human development, and only adventurers can believe that mountains of corpses and millions of victims will delay the advent of a radiant future.”
Remember, socialism leads to Communism. So, how do you create a Socialistic State?
There are 8 levels of control; read the following recipe:
1) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor
people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are
providing everything for them.
3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are
able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the
Government; that way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of
their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the
government.
6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to and take
control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion – Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools
because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what
is best for the people.
8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the
poor. Eliminate the middle class. This will cause more discontent and
it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.
A perfect parallel to the Democrat agenda!!!
It looks like his prediction is almost done.
Only a few steps left, and Biden is quickly moving to take care of them.
Re the above quote, who said it???
And all hail the ‘reopening’ of America… HERE. Interesting…
You just have to wonder WTF is going on…
When the little folks jump on the bandwagon of a stock, just to make a little money.
The craziest financial story of the week has got to be GameStop stock’s meteoric rise from $6 a share to $340 a share overnight. It all began when Melvin Capital hedge-fund managers decided to short GameStop, betting the stock would fall. But a lot of retail investors viscerally hate billion-dollar hedge-fund managers who make a living manipulating the stock market and driving small investors out of the game.

But in reality, this says it all…
And then there’s Cuomo’s ‘response’ to the NY AG report on his WuFlu response…
“Who cares [if they] died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died.”
That’s how Gov. Cuomo callously responded Friday to the damning state attorney general’s report that revealed his administration downplayed the total number of nursing home residents killed by COVID-19.
Full article, HERE from the NY Post.
It appears that he was, as usual, trying to shift blame to the Feds, saying he’d ‘followed’ the CDC’s instructions on nursing homes… Yeah, right…
But this… Now THIS is a non-starter… Nope, no way in hell!
Now they’re coming for the bacon. An Oregon state lawmaker has proposed a bill to eliminate all “processed meats,” including beloved bacon, sausage, and hot dogs, from hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, and other places where people are stuck. This includes not only the patients and inmates but staff and visitors, too.
Full article, HERE. Why oh why does this NOT surprise me???
And last but certainly the stupidest… Our own Texas nightmare, Shelia Jackson-Lee, Houston Dem who’s district is about 4 miles long and one block wide, there is this!
She filed HR 127 which starts out-
The Attorney General, through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, shall establish a system for licensing the possession of firearms or ammunition in the United States, and for the registration with the Bureau of each firearm present in the United States.
RETROACTIVELY!!!
But it gets even better!!!
The Attorney General shall make the contents of the database accessible to all members of the public, all Federal, State, and local law enforcement authorities, all branches of the United States Armed Forces, and all State and local governments, as defined by the Bureau.
Sigh… Full article, HERE.
By the time you read this, I’ll be at the gunshow… 🙂
