Trumps Truth Social Post.

Pretty shocked I have not seen this discussed here and out and about. But it hasn't been verified by Breitbart or The Gateway Pundit so maybe ya'll haven't heard this yet.

“Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social and accused “Big Tech” of working closely with Democrats. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

So as everyone is flapping about this, do ya'll think Trump will dump The Constitution if he wins in 2024?

My nephew (just out of the Marines 3 years ago and a die hard Trump Aficionado/Ever Trumper and devoted follower of him on Truth Social called me this morning and we talked about this for an hour. Both of us are die hard "protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign or domestic" and now he's really confused and upset when a former President and hopeful next President wants to set aside Constitutional Process and embrace Autocracy/Authoritarian process.

I told him, there ain't no other way for Mr. Trump. He can't get back where he was because there is no Constitutional process to do that. So he wants to set it aside and go where no one has gone before in America. I get it. I think he's *NuTs!* but I get. So, if he's re elected do you suspect he'll set aside Constitutional norms or do you think maybe this all a typical Trump temper tantrum?

VooDoo

MDT Tactical. Good company?

I purchased a chassis from MDT Tactical. I ordered an Oryx chassis as the frame for my "budget" precision rifle build under $1500, inlet cut for a Remington 783 SA. They ended up sending me an Oryx chassis for a Howa mini action Youth model. I have made several phone calls and several emails. So far, I have not heard anything back. Just wondering if anybody else has encountered any customer service issues?

UPDATE (06 DEC 2022) They are the real deal!!


Anyone use or know of this place first hand?? Seems like they are legit, but some product pricing makes the needle move to the alert side pretty fast. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I'm more than sure it's a fake site so buyers beware. Don't let the cheap pricing and product availability fool you.
#2: In about 45 minutes I'll be able to call the store. Might just be the real deal with the location "operating" under a web name while the physical store is another.
#3: Calls made, see below.

Man Spends Half His Salary Paying For All The Manly Tasks He Can't Do




Article Image





FORT WAYNE, IN — Local man Garrett Benton has officially spent half of his annual salary paying other people to do the manly things he wishes he could do himself.
"There's an actual dollar amount that expresses what a lousy excuse for a man I am," said Mr. Benton, looking at his bank statement. "And it's a huge number. I'm literally paying to be utterly emasculated. The shame!"
According to his wife, Mr. Benton's descent into embarrassing weakness first began with paying to have someone else mow the lawn. "He gave some excuse about the dollar amount he could make at work versus what it cost to have the grass cut, but all I know is that's when I stopped respecting him as a man," said Mrs. Benton. "It just snowballed from there. He pays for oil changes, landscaping, fixing doorknobs, and even money management. It's humiliating."
Though currently unable to look at himself in the mirror, Mr. Benton states he is on the road to redemption. "The other day, I replaced the staples in the stapler instead of buying a new one - and it was so empowering!" said Mr. Benton. "One day, I'd just like to be able to make eye contact again with my father-in-law. I haven't looked directly at his face since the day I called him to chase a mouse out of the garage. It's been a long seven years."
At publishing time, Mr. Benton had regained a small modicum of manliness after burning the crap out of a steak instead of having a steakhouse cook it for him.

More truth than fiction here.

Brazil Military Court just placed above Brazil's Electoral Supreme Court!, Russian tanks seen, Lula's Supporters go Commie-mode (Update)


I honestly thought when one General stepped up to say Brazil Constitution was being shredded it was a one-up; but they are apparently starting to take action by eliminating Lula's strongest fighting force first (besides the Corrupt Supreme Court and Election judges), his cartel
buddies!

“The heads of drug trafficking of Morro do Juramento and Juramentinho, identified as Rodrigo Barbosa Marinho, known as Rolinha or Titio Rolinha, and Hevelton Nascimento Júnior, the “Bad Boy”, respectively, were killed during a Military Police operation in Vicente de Carvalho on Thursday (1st). Three other suspects died in the action and one, who was also injured, is imprisoned in custody in the hospital” O Dia reports.

The drug cartels are the armed wing of the Communists. Comando Vermelho controls parts of Rio de Janeiro and was formed 1979 as an alliance between cartels and Communists. If they are eliminated, the risk 0f a civil war will be significantly reduced.

End of quote.

An equivalent would have been if our National Guard shut down Antifa and BLM thugs in 2020 first before dealing with the election problems.

Firearms FS Bighorn TL3

TL3 Bighorn, with both mag and 308 bolt faces and a action wrench, with a 6.5 PRC Bartlein Marksman contour 4 land 1/7 twist barrel chambered by DMR in Las Vegas. No muzzle device or trigger included. $1650 shipped..

I have not shot this in a few years, at the last time I shot it, I became discouraged when it was blowing up 153 Atips while working on load development... then I started building and shooting LH guns and this collected dust.

Want to sell it to buy a RH impact to build a gun for my daughter on that can share barrels with my LH rifles.

Can take more pics if needed. I will separate trigger if action sells first. Very Respectfully

"Avro CF-105 Arrow: The Fighter Jet Built to Fight Russia"

Avro CF-105 Arrow: The Fighter Jet Built to Fight Russia​

Story by Peter Suciu • 9h ago

Avro CF-105 Arrow, A Short History – After the Second World War, at a time when the British Royal Air Force was still recovering and had no money to think about a new interceptor, Avro Canada developed the CF-100, often dubbed the “Canuck.” As the first combat aircraft of all-Canadian design, it proved to be an excellent long-range, all-weather fighter. More importantly, it highlighted that the newly formed Avro Canada – an offshoot of the British-based aircraft manufacturer – showed brilliance in completing a challenging project quickly.

From that success, in the mid-1950s, work progressed on the Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow, a giant, delta-winged interceptor. It offered a bright hope for the future of the Canadian aircraft industry, and had the potential of providing the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) with the capability to meet Soviet bombers – and possibly destroy them in a war – as far away as the North Pole. After earning the right to develop and build the aircraft, Avro Canada grew significantly, and by 1957, employed more than 20,000 people – making it one of the largest companies in the nation. It drew major investment from the government as well at its own employees. Confidence in the company, and in Canada’s aerospace industry, was soaring high. But like Icarus, it soon came crashing down.

Avro CF-105 Arrow – The Details

Development of the Arrow progressed quickly, and it has largely been remembered as being one of the most advanced aircraft of its era, while it was also widely praised for its power and beauty. It also helped to establish Canada as a world leader in scientific research and development.
To say that everything about the Arrow was massive is an understatement. It was an immense project in size, scale and ambition. The aircraft itself was enormous as well. Weighing about 20,000 kg (44,000 pounds) empty, with a 15.2 m wingspan, it was a huge aircraft for an interceptor.
It was also a highly advanced aircraft that required many of its components to be specially developed. It boasted the world’s first computerized flight control and weapon system, while it was faster than any jet in its class. The Arrow was designed to travel at nearly twice the speed of sound at an altitude of 53,000 feet. Developed without the aid of computers or simulation tools, the designers relied on scale models for wind-tunnel testing.

Avro CF-105 Arrow – Why It Failed

The first CF-105 Arrow prototype was rolled out on October 4, 1957 – and more than 12,000 people arrived to see the advanced-looking aircraft. However, that event was largely overshadowed by the USSR’s launch of Sputnik 1 into orbit on that same day – and which heralded the dawn of the space age and potentially the end of the Arrow’s main target, the long-range bomber.
A total of five Arrows took part in flight tests in a program that began in 1958, but the project was doomed due to political and technical woes. The high cost of the program The Arrow was canceled in February 1959 by the government of the newly elected Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who sought to cut federal spending. It likely didn’t help that Diefenbaker, a Progressive Conservative and teetotaler, had a poor relationship with Avro Canada’s President Crawford Gordon, Jr., who was known for his love of smoke and drink.
The Avro Canada CF-105 never entered production, and the RCAF eventually acquired the American-built CF-101B Voodoo instead. Avro Canada never recovered from the program’s cancellation and ceased operations in 1962.
Nearly three decades after the program was shuttered, a four-hour TV miniseries about the Arrow program was produced for CBC Television. Tilted simply The Arrow, it starred notable Canadian actors including Dan Aykroyd, Michael Ironside, and Sara Botsford and offered a dramatized look at the attempt to produce the supersonic jet. It went on to have the highest viewership to that point for a CBC program – perhaps highlighting just how much this jet meant to the Canadian people.

Saboteurs, Alphabeti, or just methbillies at it again?

Yet another incident…. Either being reported more, or happening with more frequency, haven’t done a deep dive on the data yet.

My vote’s meth heads or plain old rednecks, but we’ve been catching more and more bad’uns slipping across our Southern border. I wouldn’t rule out sleeper cell either…pick your flavor of country of origin, China, Russia, Venezuela, or somewher in the middle east.
