A man who truly loves those in his life will do ANYTHING to protect and save them, even if it means sacrificing all he's got.

(An expansion of a post I made in the Portajohn section today)

HOW A NON-GUN PERSON BECAME ONE OF THE MOST PRO-GUN INDIVIDUALS ONE WILL EVER MEET.

For some people, it takes absolute physical suffering and injuries to wake them up. For my younger cousin, it was love.

Before he went to South Africa to start his restaurant business, he did not care about guns. To him, these were military tools, and the military world could not be more farther from his own sphere living in the urban cyberpunk sprawl that is Shanghai. Sometimes he went to the Shanghai Municipal Shooting Range and rented various guns available there to shoot on the premises with his buddies from work. Shoot for fun, that is it. Expend a magazine or two and then head out to a bar for a night of Tsingtao beer, Moutai rice wine, and a round of Mahjong at the card table. Guns are just for fun. Who needs to own one and constantly have one around anyway?

Until he met Eleanor in Johannesburg, a girl from Ireland. The moment they struck up a conversation and ended up talking to each for almost an hour under the shade of an outdoor market, he fell in love with her. And when she reciprocated her feelings for him, he could not have been more elated. His mind was filled with vows of how he will always protect her and keep her from harm. Anybody who has truly been in love will know that they felt the same way too.

His challenge, and his proverbial line in the sand came almost instantly. For South Africa has a problem. Over the years the criminal gangs empowered by the murderous ANC regime had grew more bold in their terror campaigns against white people. Gangs routinely raped and murdered with very little consequences. My cousin feared for Eleanor and her family's safety far more than his own. After all, he professed his love to her, and she said yes. If he cannot protect who he loved, what kind of man is he? How will he face his ancestors' spirits once his own miserable and pathetic existence has passed and he is in the realm of the Jade Emperor Yuhuang, who judges all who come before his throne?

The answer my cousin was looking for came to him quickly. For in Johannesburg's Chinatown, like many Chinatowns elsewhere, there is a very lucrative backdoor business underworld flourishing with trade in illicit and scrutinized items stowed away in nondescript containers that arrive on freighters in Durban and then make their way to lucrative buyers in the tobacco smoke filled backrooms of Johannesburg's Chinese logistical companies and taverns. Through people he knows in the trade, he came in possession of a QBZ-95 assault rifle and several magazines loaded with cartridges. Holding the compact, blocky, powerful and futuristic looking Chinese military standard issue infantry weapon in his hands and working it's mechanisms in a deserted office at the back of his restaurant later that night, he realized that this was not an item merely to "shoot for fun" at a range anymore. It was far more than that. It was franchise and individual empowerment in a world where all-powerful mobs dictated what people should believe, and which skin colors deserved to live or die. For the first time, he realized that he could actually PROTECT himself, Eleanor, and her folks from harm, or at least make the circling wolves pay extremely dearly if they chose this place to pounce on next.

He had already envisioned what was the worst that can happen, going by the horrific and tragic stories that flooded the news every day. If the worst were to come, he would have Eleanor leave through a roof access hatch which led to a catwalk that encircled the whole row of shops before descending into a back street, and run to her family and another British family who knew the quickest way out of town while he would bait all potential attackers toward himself in the restaurant and hold them off there until his final gasp of breath. Five magazines of 30 rounds of 5.8x42mm each, fired on semiautomatic mode and with each shot aimed for count, would exact a hell of a price on the attackers even if they got to him in the end. They will not get their prize, except high velocity lead and copper, hot brass casings, and "this bloodied Chinese corpse".

For my cousin, the worst never came, and he and Eleanor are now living in Shanghai, but these years in Johannesburg placed him in a mindset which he would never stray from, or persuaded by anyone to think otherwise. It was not "indoctrination" by "right wing talk radio", "conspiracy theory forums", or "MAGA propaganda" which turned him into someone that the gun banning, tyrannical leftists would dread with each new one created. It was love. Pure and simple.

If he cannot protect who he loved, what kind of man is he? How will he face his ancestors' spirits once his own miserable and pathetic existence has passed and he is in the realm of the Jade Emperor Yuhuang, who judges all who come before his throne?

A man who truly loves the ones in his life would do anything to protect them and will be ingenious in all methods of fighting back against potential predators.

The Tale of the Ghost-Pepper Farmer. A popular folktale that is told by almost everyone today in Shanxi Province, China.

Shanxi Province, like it's southern brother Sichuan, is known for it's mountainous valleys and extremely spicy foods. The hottest peppers in all of China are cultivated in Shanxi, and out of all the pepper farmers, Li Zhao, who lived in one of these mountain farms, grew the hottest of them all. Li Zhao's ghost peppers were so potent that even a direct whiff of one burning will elicit a nosebleed and a potentially fatal, suffocating cough. For years, Li Zhao won all of the local spicy culinary contests and his farm became the talk of everyone who wanted some of his prized ghost peppers. Then one day, the war came to Shanxi. Even in the weeks prior, distant accounts of entire cities being burned and their inhabitants massacred reached his corner of the world, but Li Zhao and the other townsfolk brushed them off as mere rumors and exaggerations of yet another one of the many civil disturbances that the country has been all too familiar with. But one day, Li Zhao heard the rumble of heavy truck engines and the clattering of tank treads, and as he looked out over the valley, he saw column after column of Japanese soldiers marching down the mountain pass in a cloud of dust and diesel fumes. The war had come to Shanxi. Over the next year, a calamity like no one had ever seen before befell the entire province under Japanese occupation. Almost everybody Li Zhao knew were killed or rounded up in indiscriminate sweeps by the occupation forces. His farm had been seized, his crops were destroyed, and he himself was left destitute and reduced to begging for scraps from the streets of the occupied provincial capital. And the Japanese troops were everywhere. Anybody who even walked out of step received a full powered swing across the head with a rifle butt or had a bayonet thrust through them. One day, a disheveled, weary, and battered Li Zhao half walked and half crawled back to the burned wreckage where his pepper farm had once been. In the wreckage, he found a small stock of dried ghost peppers that had miraculously escaped the fire, a sack of saltpeter that he uses as fertilizer for his fields, and a single metal leaf spring that had fallen off of a broken wagon years ago. What could Li Zhao possibly do with these items??? In this movie adaptation of this folktale, we will find out:

Real “Bing” question

Question

I am serving a dinner for my guests which are vegan. Could you suggest a good three course meal that they would enjoy

Answer

MY Answer

New York Strip Steaks, simply seasoned with a good quality seasoning salt, rubbed in at least an hour before; cooked fast in butter to sear in the flavor without overcooking the center

Mashed potatoes, slathered in Real Butter with the drippings from the steak pan dripped over them

English Peas (goes great with the Mashed potatoes)

French bread, toasted lightly with a good coating of Real Butter

A cold draft beer or icy coke

If they don’t eat what’s served, they can go home Hungry!

This shit about catering to any woke’s want is pure nonsense.

MSNBC Warns of ‘Boiling Seas’ from Climate Change!


MSNBC warned Monday of “boiling seas” due to climate change, citing ocean readings of 100ºF off the coast of Florida.
Never shy about employing incendiary rhetoric, MSNBC seems to have forgotten that while the boiling point of water is 100º Celsius, it is actually 212º on the Fahrenheit scale.
In his jeremiad titled “We’ve reached the ‘boiling seas’ part of the climate crisis,” MSNBC writer and editor Hayes Brown laments that “oceans around the world are breaking record temperatures thanks to climate change.”
Oceanic temperatures have hit “worrying highs” around the world, Brown writes, and off the coast of Florida, water temperatures seem “more suitable to hot tubs than the open sea.”
It is “beginning to feel like the hackneyed ‘frog in a slowly boiling pot’ analogy for climate change is more apt than ever,” he cautions.
Warmer sea waters a greater chance “we begin to see mass die-offs of fish and other sea creatures literally drowning,” he prophesies.
“The warming of the waters promises to continue to be a growing threat so long as humans continue to contribute to the heating of our planet,” he intones in conclusion, and as things stand, “we are coming dangerously close to hitting the ‘boiling seas’ phase of our climate apocalypse.”
Unfortunately for Mr. Brown and his fellow alarmists, a little research shows that water temperatures around Florida are basically where they are every year at this time.
The water temperature at Miami Beach, for instance, is currently 86ºF, which is exactly the average August temperature over the past ten years.
At Pensacola Beach, water temperatures stand at 86ºF today, slightly below the average of 86.2ºF.
And with seawater temperature currently at 82ºF, Daytona Beach is undergoing something of a cool spell, since the ten-year average temperature for these dates is 84.2ºF.
Digging a little deeper, one discovers that the 100ºF reading came from a water temperature sensor in Manatee Bay near Everglades National Park. The water around this particular sensor is reportedly murky and “contaminated with sediment” and “water temperatures are reflective of the fact that darker surfaces absorb more heat.”
With more and more people suffering from psychological disorders due to terror of an imaginary climate apocalypse, one wonders why Mr. Brown and his ilk insist on climate fearmongering with talk of “boiling seas.”
Stoking the fears of the faint of heart and suggestible of mind is hardly the mark of responsible journalism.

Sig P320 Fires in Holster? : Sig's Response to Montville CT Police Dept.

Here is Sig Sauer's official response to the Unintended Discharge that occurred with an improperly holstered p320 at Montville, CT police Department:



SIG SAUER Statement on Montville, CT Police Department Incident

July 31, 2023


NEWINGTON, N.H., (July 31, 2023): SIG SAUER has the following statement relative to a reported unintentional discharge from an officer at the Montville, CT Police Department on Monday, July 24, 2023:
“We have seen the news reporting of the incident involving a P320 discharge at the Montville (CT) Police Department. We are confident, as is the case in all instances, that when the factors and evidence are reviewed this will be proven to be an unintentional discharge as a result of inadvertent contact with the trigger, and that the pistol did not fire without a trigger pull.
In reviewing the video footage of this incident currently available, it appears that the involved firearm was not fully seated in its holster and the holster retention hood was not fully closed over the pistol at the time of discharge (images below). This improperly holstered condition would have left the firearm’s trigger exposed and vulnerable to actuation. Even if properly holstered, the features of the involved holster allow for foreign object intrusion and interaction with the trigger, as has been seen in other incidents.
We regret that the involved agency jumped to conclusions regarding the cause of this discharge without first carefully examining the footage of the incident and providing SIG SAUER with an opportunity to assist in the examination of the involved firearm.
CT-POLICE-DEPARTMENT-INCEDENT-PR-IMAGE.png

The P320 model firearm is used effectively and safely every day, by both civilians and armed professionals.
Despite years of litigation and extensive discovery, no one has ever been able to replicate a condition under which the P320 could discharge without a trigger pull, and experts who have attempted to assert such a claim have been repeatedly thrown out of court as unqualified and/or unreliable. Three separate federal courts (in the matters of Frankenberry v. SIG SAUER, Mayes v. SIG SAUER, and Hilton v. SIG SAUER) have concluded that the two experts who have proffered a theory of uncommanded discharge are unfit to testify in court because they are unqualified and/or their opinions are untested and unreliable. In the only case regarding a P320 discharge to proceed to a full trial (Guay v. SIG SAUER), a jury of 12 rejected these experts’ unproven and unscientific theory, and found unanimously in favor of SIG SAUER. SIG SAUER stands behind the proven safety and reliability of the P320.”

Illinois governor signs law to allow non us citizens to become police


I wonder how this will turn out?

Login to view embedded media
Zeroth law of thermodynamics will play out I suspect.

Just got my new passport.

Lots of enhanced security measures.

Didnt improve the photo though, I still look old and worn out.

What caught my eye, and did on the last one, is at the top of every page is a quote. Thought I'd post a few that inspire me.

"Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair." George Washington......They did, WTF happened?

"We have a great dream. It started way back in 1776. ...and God grant that America be true to to her dream." Martin Luther King.

"Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to insure the survival and success of liberty." John F. Kennedy

"Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America." Dwight D. Eisenhauer....That one takes my breath away... both in joy and sadness

"And that government of the people, got the people, and by the people shall not perish from this earth." Abraham Lincoln

None were perfect, but all gave some, two gave all. Washington wasnt killed but that one man gave three men's share to what we have.

There's one toward the end by Lyndon Johnson I'd like to tear out and burn.

It breaks my heart as I know it does yours to see this thing spit upon by those who never did anything for it. I want to scream and rage and fight, but when I consider a biblical view, and compare that to what I see unfolding in front of my eyes, I realize all I, we, can do is maintain personal integrity despite whats coming: And to strengthen the youth who will bear the brunt of it. Evil is afoot and will have its way. Until it doesnt.

Maggot out.

"Best" stock for precision 223 ar15?

I havent put together a rifle in a while and decided to go for a 223 wylde ar15 build. **I have all different size ar's from 7.5 - 20 inch but my 20s are more just your A4 types. parts arent exaxtly "precision" level lol. I have built different caliber ar15 and ar10 type precision rifles in the past and for the most part, all the interals are the same as far as higher quality parts.

That being said, I've always kind of just stuck with the mapgul prs stock (rifle buffertunbe). I like the gen 1 and I have 1 gen 2 and it's just as good. I havent tried a gen 3 but I've heard it's about an inch longer in the LOP. I'm 6'3" so the LOP isn't going to really change anything. I did try a LuthAR stock once and hated it.

Im just seeing if there is anything "better" than the magpul prs stock that's out now.
