LOL: John Bolton Announces Run For President On Foreign TV Channel


Screenshot-130.jpg


John Bolton is a RINO.

Bolton said during an interview with Good Morning Britain that he would run for President in 2024 to derail Donald Trump’s 2024 bid.

The New York Post reported:

Former White House national security adviser John Bolton reiterated Friday that he may run for president in 2024 — adding that he can beat his old boss, former President Donald Trump, to the Republican nomination because of the “terminal decline” in the 45th president’s support.
TRENDING: Here Are the WINNERS and LOSERS in House Vote for Speaker
“I wouldn’t run as a vanity candidate. If I didn’t think I could run seriously then I wouldn’t get in the race,” the 74-year-old Bolton told ITV’s “Good Morning Britain.”
“I would get in to win the nomination and I would do it primarily on the basis that we need a much stronger foreign policy,” added Bolton, who has served in the previous four Republican presidential administrations.

On Friday, Bolton told the British broadcaster that he specifically wants to derail Trump, who has called his onetime subordinate a “liar,” a “dope” and “a disgruntled boring fool.”

New York Mag described the news as “2024’s Most Ridiculous Presidential Bid.”

New York Mag reported:

Bolton is making this announcement on a television show that doesn’t air in the U.S. (Just consider that for a moment.)
He says he’d run “primarily on the basis that we need a much stronger foreign policy.” That feels a little on the nose, as being a warmonger is the only thing Bolton is known for: He has admitted to planning foreign coups on national TV, and he was fired as national security adviser because he kept trying to start wars after promising Trump that he wouldn’t.
Bolton suggested that he could beat Trump in 2024, because “Trump’s support within the party itself is in terminal decline.” But Bolton skips over the fact that he has essentially zero support in the GOP. Beating Trump sounds fine — it’s getting people to vote for Bolton that’s the issue. As GMB interviewer Noel Phillips noted, “His opponents say he lacks in popularity, but a defiant John Bolton is preparing for a fight.”
Bolton seems set on alienating British people too. He spent part of the interview defending former U.K. prime minister Liz Truss, who was ousted after 44 days, and her wildly unpopular economic policies.

The "Black Ghost" is going up for auction.................

Probably won't be as attractive as some battery powered homo-hauler to some of the crowd here, but this is a super rare all original hemi car from 1970. Owned by an Army vet who was a Detroit cop of all things, cool story as well.

Security round

There went $20 of ammo

Accessories Team Wendy Bump Helmet with Agilite Counter Weight "cover" and streamlight

Price: $200 shipped

Description: Never worn for any serious use, except for new helmet goofin' around the house at night. This is a really great helmet for nighttime hunting, rock climbing, boating, and simple athletic sports. I would NOT recommend using this for any serious tactical use, unless you're using it as a training tool to save your neck. This will come with the agilite, original microfiber cloth, and the streamlight, mounted to the side. Upon request, I can take the duct tape off and clean the service with IPA to get rid of the sticky glue residue. If it is not a bother, I'll keep it on otherwise.

Shipping service: ups or USPS

Payment service: Most online forms of payment work, unless using PayPal, I only accept F&F due to PayPal cracking down on anything "firearm" related. Additionally, PP tends to put a hold on all G&S payments, even after successful delivery of the item, provided through the tracking number

I'll also throw in the Walker's electronic ear pro for free as well

Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

I haven't posted here in a long time. In 2011, I bought a Sako TRG-22 in .308. I've been thoroughly impressed with its accuracy and quality, but I'm looking to upgrade for quick change barrels, caliber swaps, and 6.5mm ballistics. I'm just getting back into shooting after going through a divorce of few years ago and I have always wanted an AI rifle.

I went to EuroOptic in person last week and put a deposit on the rifle linked below. I like the old-school AI AT look and they had this unfired display model that was just over $4100. I'm amped up to get it, I need to sell my TRG unfortunately, but that's what I've decided to do. I'll buy a .308 barrel for the AT down the road to burn up the supply of 308 ammo and components I have on hand.

https://www.eurooptic.com/Accuracy-...neItemId=6ac16aac-0d8f-49ac-a180-943438d136cb

All of the above said, is there any good reason to get an AI AT-X instead? They were at least $1,000 more and only had the fixed stock version; the AT I put a deposit on is a folder. I'm not second guessing myself, I just never bothered to research the AT-X. Thanks for any advice or input!

Maggie’s Las Cruces "Free" gun show

I spent about 20 minutes at the Las Cruces gun show at 1530-1550.

I rarely ever go concealed anymore because I am a dumb ass, and I wanted to go to Fort Bliss PX on the way home.

If you could pick a place to call together ex-con gang tattoo owners, hood punks and consperancy theory college teens into one place with a shit load of AR-s and cheap striker fired pistols this was it.

There was a guy that had a couple Ruger #1s, and even a Pre-64 M70.

One table of Pakistanimation knives, and they guy claimed he had custom makers do them.

One table of massively over priced Chinese optics from a company I had never heard of.

Couple tables of Chinese plastic toys.


If you are in Las Cruces for something on Sunday the 8th of January and you are getting a root canal or blowing your tythe money at a Mega Church it is probably more enjoyable.


Public service announcment.

Illinois Residents, will we be the next to fall? Call now!

Take a minute to call this. Ask others to call too.
I've already emailed state senators and representatives. This bill if passed would give law abiding gun owners 300 days to register thier guns or face felony charges. No manufacturing, ownership,transfer, or sale of any semiautomatic or any magazine over 12 rounds.
Illinois is still home to Rock River, Springfield Armory, Armalite and others. LMT and Les Baer have already moved across the river to Iowa to avoid Illinois taxes and regulation.

So please contact Senate President Don Harmon IMMEDIATLY at 217-782-8176 and demand he block SB 2226 “The Assault Weapons Ban.”

Thank you.

It took me 40 years… but I did it!

I finally found a gun that will fit in this holster that I bought when I was a teenager!

Holster is a 1920’s Heiser, Denver. And I have been dutifully keeping it oiled all these years. Finally, the right gun came along…

FCFA5E2A-A4E7-41A7-B776-92CF60100303.jpeg


And the gun is a 1970’s Python with some holster wear… and new mechanical condition. I mean… perfect. Was in bottom of a case at my LGS that specializes in Lego guns and Tupperware. For a song!

I need a nice set of original wood grips, but they are all over Gunbroker. I’d love a set of Ropers, but they are insanely spendy. Well, maybe in another 40 years I’ll find a set.

Finally, two birds with one stone! This is the smoothest revolver I ever handled, I think!

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

People of Earth,

American Rifle Company proudly introduces the Coup De Grâce at the hard to believe introductory price of only $899.

We'll be taking orders soon, probably in about eight weeks once actions are on the shelf.

From the Oxford English Dictionary:

e. coup de grâce n. /ku də ɡras/ [literally stroke of grace] a blow by which one condemned or mortally wounded is ‘put out of his misery’ or dispatched quickly; hence figurative a finishing stroke, one that settles or puts an end to something.

Whether it puts competitors out of their misery or puts and end to the confusion resulting from the myriad of other bolt actions with little or nothing to distinguish one from another, American Rifle Company’s Coup De Grâce is certainly worthy of its name.

Simply put, the Coup De Grâce does more with less and looks great doing it with its beautiful design, DLC and salt bath nitrided finishes.

It’s Rem700 footprint receiver is machined with an integral recoil lug and integral 20 MOA rail.

The three-lug, 70-degree bolt uses interchangeable floating bolt heads and accommodates everything from 223 Rem on up to 338 Lapua.

Receiver and bolt work well with AICS mags but are optimized for incredibly smooth and reliable feeding using AIAW mags and conical breech barrels.

The AIAW mag will hard stop against the bottom of the receiver thus preventing interference with the bolt.

The back of the AICS mag will hard stop against the receiver but if pushed upwards, the forward tips of the feed lips will interfere with the bolt. The mag will be driven down when pushing the bolt forward. An optional forward hard stop for the AICS mag can be placed between the receiver and the stock/chassis.

Receiver-mounted passive (aka mechanical) ejector sends cases out at three o’clock through a large ejection port.

Controlled-round feed extractor grips a large portion of the case rim taking full advantage of the patented pivoting bolt handle that easily pulls even the most stubborn cartridges from the chamber.

The pivoting bolt handle can be swapped out for a fixed handle thus converting the action to one with conventional cam extraction better tolerated by highly sensitive triggers.

The entire bolt assembly is composed of only sixteen parts, but can function with as few as twelve, of which two are springs and one is a ball.

The entire bolt, even the striker assembly, can be disassembled in the field without the use of tools.

A screw-adjustable trigger hanger makes easy work of positioning Rem700 compatible triggers for bump-free bolt closing.

Dual cocking cams reduce friction within the bolt for easier bolt lift.

The bolt knob is our best ever and makes fast cycling really easy. Other knobs can also be adapted to the standard 5/16-24 handle thread.

The circular section of the bolt handle makes sweeping it back easy if that’s your preference.

Robust 9 o’clock bolt release has a direct load path to the receiver which protects the its pivot pin.

Patented toroidal bolt-lug bearing surfaces reduce stress.

The Coup De Grâce is explosively tested for safety at pressures that greatly exceed standard proof loads.

Weight: short action 947 grams (2.1 pounds), long action 1084 grams (2.4 pounds)

Why, you might ask, would we offer the Coup De Grâce at such a low price? Well, let's just say I'm a big fan of decentralized decision making and to that end, I think everyone should have long range rifle built on the best action ever offered by anyone at any price. But that's just me.

Enjoy

Ted
