There are a *lot* of lessons to be learned from Russias ongoing war. One being: don’t post your location on social media, especially if the enemy *really* wants you dead and has access to long range precision ordnance.

Hmm. This one doesn’t seem to auto-embed.

UPDATE: Huh. The video is now private. This seems to be because the video has been updated:
Interestingly, one of the video clips that was removed showed a soldier just walking along… a soldier with a *US* flag patch on his shoulder. Whether that means that was actually irrelevant footage of a US solider somewhere else (Afghanistan?) or a mercenary with a US patch… dunno.
One “Angel Guice” decided to be a jerk during a minor traffic stop. The cop gave her repeated opportunities to sign the ticket (for being in a park after closing) and she refused each time. When the opportunities ran out, after having been told that her refusal to sign would lead to her arrest, she feigned confusion as to why she was being arrested, screaming and hollering like a friggen’ toddler. If anyone ever merited a taserin’ it’s right here. The bad acting is phenomenal.
She converted a simple ticket into physical pain and charges with jail time. But I fully expect that Grievance Lawyers will come out and start demanding big payouts for how “unfairly” she was treated.
It’s entitled ignorant people like this who are tearing society down, one outburst at a time. But at least they provide some entertaining video for the ride down.
After thirty years living under “fatwa” calling for his death issued by a head of a branch of a Surt-worshipping cult, author Salman Rushdie was stabbed in the neck today in New York state. Reports are that the injuries are pretty bad, but info so far is pretty slim. There’s gonna be some questions as to why the man didn’t have a small army of bodyguards.

Check the comments on some of those tweet… there are people openly praising the attack because, to them, saying anything negative about their primitive superstitions is a “crime” punishable by death. This is the mindset that Britain, for example, is welcoming in by the boatload.
Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle must be checking the status of their security team payment plans.
The last few days the media has been giddy over a series of murders in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Over a short span, four separate murders of Muslim immigrants have been linked to a likely single killer, a story with Certain Political Implications.
I’m so sick of the racism and hate from the right. The rabid radical right are hate filled racists.

But then…
Albuquerque police arrested 51-year-old Muhammad Syed Tuesday in connection to two killings of Muslim men.
Huh.
Breaking: Albuquerque mosque president tells @AvaSasani that the authorities told him the suspect in the killings of four Muslim men is Sunni Muslim and targeted the victims because he was angry over his daughter marrying a Shiite Muslim. https://t.co/J8REmP8DTz

Ah, the beauty and majesty of cultural enrichment.
Watch this story go *poof*.
The New York Times hits us with this dumbfounding newsflash:
Who could have seen that?
Yes, as technology advances and becomes more popular among the rich, it’ll get cheaper so the well-off can get it, then the comfortable, then the middle class, then the poor. That’s how it happened with computers and televisions and microwaves and such. But the problem with cars is that various governments are mandating that by such-and-such date, this new, expensive technology will be *mandatory.* Never mind whether the price has dropped enough for it to be affordable.
Bonus article:
The Feds are offering a tax credit of up to $7500. Great. But for a car to qualify, the battery must be Made In America. Also great. Problem: there really aren’t any, because the US allowed the Chinese to yoink all the tech and the manufacturing.
I’m a libertarian, but I’m also something of a nationalist. The US government should be doing things that support US-based businesses rather than funding foreign communists. But in order for a tax credit for a car to be meaningful, that kind of car has to actually *exist.* So maybe rather than demanding a conversion to EV’s, the US government should do like the NACA used to do, and hunker down on the research required to make it happen *and* pass regulations that support US manufacturing… *then* and only then, when electric cars are not only US-made but US-affordable and US-practical (they have a range of 300+ miles and can charge in under 10 minutes, say, while carrying a family of five and a full load of groceries and a couple days worth of range supplies)… *Then* start suggesting that people transition.
End of July a weird story hit about a small cargo plane that had a rough landing. Nothing terribly new with that, except that the co-pilot was found not in the plane, but some thirty miles away. He had fallen from the plane and crashed into someone’s yard. “Why/how the hell did that happen” has been the question; finally some new information has come to light to fill in the “how,” but it doesn’t help with the “why.”
P: “No, the dude literally jumped out the back of the plane without a parachute.”
*Seven seconds of total silence*
RA: “Shady 02, did you need to do something else, circle or something, or-“
P: “No, I need to land. I’m just making you aware you’re gonna have a dead body out where I just called you at. He just jumped out the back of the plane.”
Ok, yeah, that’s pretty fricken’ weird. I would guess he panicked? It’s a strange glitch in the human OS that someone would be in a dangerous situation and decide that the best approach is *certain* death. This would seem to be the “Better to Die Than be Killed” trope. It happened at the World Trade Center, where people threw themselves out of high windows rather than burn to death… but in this case, it just doesn’t make sense. The plane was damaged – missing one-third of its landing gear – but it was by no means certain that the crew would be killed or necessarily even injured in the forthcoming landing. I wonder if maybe the co-pilot had been responsible for the initial hard landing that broke the gear, and was freaking out? Or perhaps he was on something… or the stress just drove him buggo.
This is… ummmm…yeah.
Driver taken into custody. I bet he’d just had a *really* bad day and went all “Falling Down.”
… or not.
In this case, an ATF agent goes to someone’s door and demands to see such-and-such firearm; the homeowner does the smart thing and calls the cops and tells them some sketchy weirdo is going for her guns. Police show up, tell the ATF agent to comply… and he doesn’t, getting tased for his troubles. This happened a few years ago, and *of* *course* he’s suing the police for excessive force. It’s interesting to see how this Federal agent believes that his status sets him above the law. And politicians want to empower these types even *more.* It’s worth noting that this “lawman” was arrested for shoplifting back in 2015. He seems well acquainted with the practice of taking stuff that’s not his.
An ATF agent showed up at a citizen's home to question him about a shotgun he was not "permitted" to have.
The citizen called 911 and told them someone was at his door trying to take his guns.

Police officer starts giving you lawful orders… you say “yes sir” and *obey.* Even if you think you’re in the right, you’re not going to win by resisting a guy with a taser, a sidearm and backup.

A brief documentary about some of the very best of America: immigrants and the children of immigrants using their wits and their rights to defend themselves and their livelihoods from some of the worst of America. They were the very definition of a “well regulated militia.”
There are important lessons here that should have been learned better. Had the riots and looters of 2020 been met with more gunfire, 2020 would have been less bloody, and much more of the blood that had been shed would have been that of people who, well, we don’t need.
