Reality vs. The Narrative
For them wondering how big of a problem those scary-looking, scary-sounding "assault rifles" stack up as a preferred murder weapon: 2019's numbers are in.
Handguns: 6,368
Edged weapons: 1,476
Blunt weapons: 397
No weapons: 600
Rifles (all types): 364
Shotguns: 200
Other guns (???): 45
Handguns are, as usual, the clear winner. By a factor of 17x and change vs. every type of rifle combined.
Knives n swords n shit by a factor of 4.0x and change.
Going UFC on their ass by a factor of 1.6x and change.
And clubbing them like a baby seal by just under 1.1x.
Shotguns, you need to step up your game.
Yup, you're four times as likely to get taken out ninja-style than to get Rambo'd. But "assault rifles" are scary, so let's ban them and anything even kind of like them. No, we don't care if the previous "assault rifle" ban had literally no effect, it'll work this time!
P.S. If those 3,281 "Firearms, type not stated" get on your nerves, feel free to distribute them among the reported types in the ratio of those that were reported are distributed. Math says you'll get the exact same ratios I stated above when you do the new calculations.
Federal Prosecutors Abandon False Claims Regarding Jan. 6
Federal Prosecutors Abandon False Claims Regarding Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Due to No Evidence
Federal prosecutors are being forced to drop some of the most absurd, histrionic claims they made about the mostly-peaceful protest that happened in and around the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
The deep state has spun yarns about elaborate plots to kill lawmakers, gas politicians, overthrow the government, and made up other tall tales in their quest to punish Trump supporters and bring the war on terror into the homeland. Now, they are being forced to backtrack as the case blows up in their faces.
No counts for sedition have been filed against any of those charged thus far. Assault, conspiracy and obstruction charges are the best the feds can come up with, and many of the peaceful protesters inside of the U.S. Capitol may ultimately have their charges dropped – leaving the deep state with egg on their faces yet again.
“They are trying to build the most horrendous cases they can because the public wants it – and this is politicizing criminal justice,” said Gerald B. Lefcourt, a criminal defense attorney with a long history of representing controversial figures.
Big League Politics has reported on how a federal prosecutor was scolded by a judge for engaging in incredibly unprofessional behavior by discussing the ongoing cases during an appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes:
“Federal prosecutor Michael Sherwin may have compromised the conspiracy case he has been preparing against Jan. 6 demonstrators in the U.S. Capitol by appearing on CBS News’ 60 Minutes on Sunday night.
Sherwin boasted on 60 Minutes about how he was charging Trump supporters as quickly as humanly possible regardless of the evidence in order to make a “shock and awe” display to quash their 1st Amendment rights.
Judge Amit Mehta is incredibly unhappy with Sherwin’s activity, which he believes is egregious and highly unprofessional. Mehta stated he will not hesitate to slap a gag order on Sherwin in the future if such breaches continue. Sherwin has reportedly been referred to the Office of Professional Responsibility for potential disciplinary action…
The deep state may be overreaching in their attempt to paint Jan. 6 as a seditious conspiracy when it was rather obviously a spontaneous mostly-peaceful protest against entrenched political corruption in the federal swamp.”
The feds are rapidly losing legitimacy by pursuing peaceful dissidents while ignoring Islamic terrorists and left-wing thugs.

Lightbulb Moment
Ya know, I've been mildly annoyed by progressives thinking they can just arbitrarily redefine a word so that it means whatever they hell they want it to for a good while now. And I was wrong. I was looking at things like those morons do for some reason. It's not a problem, it's an opportunity!
That realization had, here are a few words I used to not enjoy and their new meanings:
- *ist: a master in sexual techniques related to the root word.
- problematic: an adjective meaning somewhere between "badass" and "da shit".
- toxic: well endowed.
- trans*: a robot created for the purpose of activities relating to the root word. transsexual: sexbot. transgender: bot that accurately identifies male or female for those who can't. transphobic: bot that goes around scaring people. transcontinental: bot that serves you a crappy breakfast at a hotel.
- burn in hell: fuck me like grandpa used to then call the dogs in to lick me clean.
Okay, those are the ones I thought up while mowing. What have you guys got?
100% DNC Control Month 2 of 24
Link to last month's report.
---
We are now 1/12th of the way through what may be a brief window while the DNC has control of the house, senate, and presidency. It is easy to get lost in the day-to-day affairs so I'm writing these updates to provide a simple look at exactly what the DNC is doing for this period when they have the ability to enact any grand vision they could ever imagine. Wealth redistribution, global (if not single payer) healthcare, "tax the rich", green energy, and so on are all major parts of the DNC platform. What will ultimately end up being the difference between the platform and action?
---
This month we have three bills to look at:
S.579 : A short bill that removes the waiting time for benefits to those diagnosed with ALS. Great stuff.
H.R. 1276 : The Secretary of Veteran Affairs can provide vaccine doses for veterans and their spouses.
H.R. 1319 : The most recent $1.9 trillion stimulus.
---
The total allotment for the stimulus is $1.9 trillion. There are currently approximately 330,000,000 people residing in the US. This includes people who are non-citizens, those who are residing here illegally, and of course the millions who also earn more than $75,000 a year. Regardless, 330 million * 1,400 = 0.462 trillion, less than 25% of the stimulus' total expenditure. And far less than 25% once you account for the fact many people will not be receiving these checks.
That bill is a laundry list of just about every single interest in politics today. But to keep this short, I'm going to focus on just one thing that seems to be a recurring theme from the contemporary DNC. There are billions of dollars distributed to farmers for assistance, loans, and support under the stimulus. And I think just about everybody would agree this is a great idea. Except, it only applies to non-white farmers? See sections 1005 and others. The euphemism they use for non-white is "socially disadvantaged." It seems progress is increasingly being defined by efforts to regress society a hundred years and engage in the exact same absurd fashion, just swapping around the "colors."
Genuine questions
What are gun-free zones meant to accomplish?
Do they accomplish what they're meant to?
How?
Cause I've had this rattling around in my brain all day and I genuinely don't get it even slightly unless it's just fear-based security theater.
immediately surge to the border
Dems are trying to tell us that Sleepy Joe is not responsible for the border crisis.
https://www.oann.com/biden-in-2019-we-should-surge-to-the-border-people-seeking-asylum/
Seriously, watch the short video on that page: https://twitter.com/i/status/1373269516680105985
Joe tells the world that if he is elected, illegals should "immediately surge to the border".
ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz recently spoke with a Brazilian man — just one of the tens of thousands of migrants who are traveling to the U.S. in search of asylum — who admitted that Biden's presidency was a motivating factor for coming to America.

With no place to put the kids, Sleepy Joe thinks they should be taken to military bases, and probably housed in old defunct barracks?
Of course, anyone who questions why the Emperor has no clothes is labeled a RACISSSSSSS!!
Let's not forget that Sleepy Joe wants to fly the illegals to the CANADIAN BORDER for processing!
The Digital Gulag
The Digital Gulag: Why Team Tyranny Won’t Need Door-Kickers to Enforce the Coming Gun Bans
Posted by Matt Bracken | Mar 2, 2021 | Matt Bracken, News and Links, Opinion, Tech and Privacy
There is currently a lot of attention being paid to new Democrat-proposed gun control laws, particularly House Bill 127, which would require national registration and licensing of all firearms, would ban broad categories of semi-automatic weapons, ban most ammunition magazines, and so on. One of the most frequent replies to these proposed laws is that there are not enough local or federal SWAT Team door-kickers to go house to house on gun confiscation raids, and if they tried, they would 1. soon run out of door-kickers and 2. instigate Civil War Two.
But in the modern digital era, I believe that Team Tyranny won’t have to do much door-to-door gun confiscation. I think that a few show-piece gun confiscation raids using overwhelming force at 4AM (that are designed for network TV audiences) will be sufficient. Instead, they’ll just send citizens a notice by text, email and registered snail-mail that they already know what newly-illegal guns they possess. This list will be based on AI programs scraping and data-mining your social media history, credit card purchases, and all past FFL sales records, which surely will be collected as part of the new law.
All of this information will be knitted together much the way that the IRS does business. I borrowed this paradigm from “Old Curmudgeon” on a Free Republic thread:
“Have you noticed how the IRS manages to enforce the tax laws? Every taxable transaction is documented by multiple parties so that one party’s failure to report will be revealed by the another party’s paperwork. Then the person who violated the tax law is made an example of, a horrible example, causing reasonable people to be very afraid of the IRS. They will use a similar method to end gun ownership.”And don’t think for a minute that they won’t get all the gun sales records, once they pass their “Emergency Measures To Prevent Domestic Terrorism Act.”
So how will they plan to separate you from your now-illegal guns?
Many people will refuse to do so. A week later, they will be totally disappeared from social media. Digitally disappeared. This makes it hard to complain about your treatment.
If you send an email about your situation to your local news station, they will automatically get a warning email just ahead of yours, or your email will be contained inside of a red flashing “warning box.” This is how the CCP keeps the comrades in line in Communist China. ChiCom programmers are already working with silicon valley to get Team Tyranny, both government and private sector, up to speed on these protocols.
You’ll get more official warnings to turn in the newly illegal guns that they know you have. Serial numbers won’t matter much, they’ll have your own prior social media “confessions,” along with those proud pictures you posted at the range, along with your credit card history, etc. You bought ten P-Mags, a chest rig, a “drop-in” trigger and a new buffer spring? They know you have an AR. And you can assume that the sales records of FFL dealers will all be collected under the new “emergency” gun control law.
You still won’t comply? You’re doxed at work. Your company “can’t take the risk” of employing you after they get secret back-channel warnings from the DHS. You and your wife the school teacher or nurse will be unemployed. How are you going to pay your mortgage? Your kids’ tuition bill? Your car payment? Again, as a DHS-suspected “domestic terror threat” you can’t get the local news to touch the story.
Next step: your ATM card is frozen. Then your credit cards. Then your bank drops you. Still a hard case? Your electricity arrives intermittently. Then it stops altogether. Then your water is cut off. The local news will still not touch your story, since they have been warned about the dangerous domestic terror threat from people like you.
Team Tyranny won’t need to conduct many door-to-door gun raids. They’ll just lock you inside a digital gulag in your own house.
And if you freak out in anger and rage and try to get revenge, who will you go after? Washington DC is now behind a razor-wire-topped wall guarded by thousands of troops, so forget that. Your local police chief? Your mayor? Who do you go after? If you do target them, then you are a domestic terrorist, and they’ll kill you, or at least arrest you and send you to a real prison. (The local gun-collection points might become a sporadic random target, but they will be very well guarded by SWAT counter-snipers etc.)
These are just some thoughts of mine about how the new gun bans might be rolled out and enforced. Do I know for a fact that this is how Team Tyranny will enforce an American gun ban? No. But it’s worth considering, at least more than just saying “they don’t have enough door kickers!”
They won’t need many door kickers. The Digital Gulag might be enough.
I spoke about this on Infowars last Thursday:
“The Digital Gulag is Practice for Extermination”

Pretty clear challenge of the Biden administration.
Biden creates the crisis, and leaves Texas holding the bag.
The long tail of disasters
Geologists found the landslide when they discovered this mountain with a peak that was almost 300 million years older than the rest of the mountain. It happens to be a short distance from the far better known Yellowstone hot spot, which generated (in addition to over a hundred other major eruptions) one of the largest known volcanic eruptions of the past 26 million years.
Apparently, the volume of the landslide was about 2000 cubic km which is similar in volume to that eruption. It's interesting to see how many categories of disasters have prehistorical evidence for disasters far bigger than anything we've seen in human history.
On the Other Hand
Yeah, I shit all over Walker. Deservedly so. But lest you think I'm always a grouchy old bastard, here's another review.
Normally I'm not much of a happy camper about fan service. Normally it's half-assed at best. Now Coming to America 2 is absolutely fan service but it's fan service by the funniest motherfucker to ever walk the planet at the top of his game. And a lot of other really funny motherfuckers. I can honestly say it joins Empire and Godfather 2 as a sequel that's without question better than the first. I laughed my entire ass off. I now have no ass. And it was worth it.
Make sure and stick around through the credits though. The whiskers outtake still has me laughing and it's like 20 minutes after the end of the credits.
