Your post-Independence Day reminder that a dis/unarmed populace is at extreme risk from an armed government who doesn't like portions of said populace. Plus, for your reading pleasure, this thread is chock full of hate from the disarmers toward the OP and the posters who consistently support the US Constitution.

“At about midnight the command was given…for us to line up. I…threw my [little] girl into the ditch and fell on top of her. A second later, bodies started falling on me. Then everything fell silent. There were more shots... .”​

Here, either. It's nicer when one can renounce consumerism and spot it for what it is.


Of course, there will be some money spent this month to acquire some more ammo. I think that we'll be stockpiling for the pings another few hundred rounds for their anvil-like selves. But that comes from eastern Europe.
 
Problem seems to be, a lot of mediocrity has worked in that arena because they pay poorly and don't get better people with better minds. It's just our kids, after all.

The education system is the dumping ground of the inept.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
 
Our seenyore history/gummint teacher was nicknamed Mickey Mouse. I've never seen a more apt one. He was a weasel.

I suspect we all can relate a similar story. On the flip side I had a high school science teacher once who was an amazing teacher. Best class I ever had in school. There's a tragic story that goes along with that - he and his son liked to shot put together. His son was downrange one time and he didn't realize it when he stepped into the ring to throw.

My chemistry teacher was likewise excellent. I also had an extremely good Engrish teacher. Sadly, math wasn't very good and who cares about history, because in my case, I've spent the rest of my life reading it.
 
This picture is fascinating. These pictures required that the camera lens be open for several seconds to expose the image. Pictures on horseback were not very common because horses don't want to stand still and that takes a Hell of a horseman to get a good photo. If you look at the ears on this horse, he is watching something intently which is why his ears aren't twitching. But his tail did:

I think that his name is Duke. That's a damned fine blanket that Duke has, too.
 

The White House’s Kamala Harris Blunder​

Joe Biden’s most effective promotion of his vice president could be entirely inadvertent.


When Ron Klain admitted to me a year ago that the White House could have worked harder to elevate Kamala Harris’s profile, he didn’t know that the Democratic Party, and perhaps American democracy itself, would soon be riding on her readiness to be president. But perhaps he should have.

It was July 2023, and while interviewing President Joe Biden’s former chief of staff in his law office in downtown Washington, D.C., I’d asked if the administration had done enough to showcase Harris as a governing partner to the oldest president in history. Promoting one’s vice president is “always hard,” Klain, who was known to be an advocate of Harris’s, told me then. “Obviously, I wish, you know—you could always do more, and you should do more.”

Four months before the election, and one week after Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, Harris’s capacity to lead the Democratic Party and the free world has never been more relevant. And yet many Americans, after three years of the West Wing’s poor stewardship of Harris, are now looking at their vice president as if for the first time.

In another version of the Biden presidency, this would indeed be Kamala Harris’s moment. A growing list of prominent Democrats, including Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina and, in a conversation with me this week, Senator Laphonza Butler of California, are touting Harris as the candidate best positioned to take on Trump in the event that Biden decides to withdraw from the race. Tim Ryan, the former congressman from Ohio who challenged both Biden and Harris in the 2020 Democratic primary, has taken his support one step further, calling on the president to “rip the band aid off” and promote Harris immediately. A recent CNN poll shows the vice president now running closer to Trump than the president is.
