- ICE officers are nothing like Nazis because … drumroll … they’re just doing their jobs.
- The Laura Ingalls Wilder award for children’s literature is no more. B*tch forgot to write like a modern SJW. That’ll show ‘er. (H/T CB)

Nice to see Maxine Waters talking sense. May every member of this administration feel like a pariah every time they leave their cave. And that goes for the “opposition” party that’s enabling them, too. Sorry Maxine. You’ll get yours eventually as well.
FYI: There’s a theory that her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, the author of the book “The Discovery of Freedom” either helped or have “Ghost Written” the Little House books herself. And that she was this closed ][ to being a communist herself, except for the fact that she actually went to Russia and saw how the people hated Communism.
Maybe that why she didn’t write like an SJW?
Didn’t know about her brush with stupidity, Jim.
Rose Wilder Lane books are mostly out of print now, unfortunately.
One I own is of her correspondence with a Hoover era conservative tycoon.
She was a rather cut and dry individual.
Here’s a link for the freedom book.

Actually, Maxine Waters, in a way, is expressing further support for democracy. After all, a lynch mob is a classic example of pure democracy in action. In a democracy, whatever the majority wants, it gets, including beating up or even hanging the person in the minority. A gang rape is another good example of democracy.
Good article on the Compact defense rifles, in an urban area the more compact the better when traveling by motor vehicle.
1. The Cat/Dog meme is so true. This morning, for example, while I was having coffee our cat calmly opened the glass door to a display case and took a look inside. I heard the click of the magnet, looked to see what it was and there was my cat all “what, I didn’t do anything.”
2. SWAT Trauma kit, very nice. Once upon a time, part of my duties was the role of first response. The kit we had in the truck was very similar with the exception of the tourniquets. Just the mention of having one in the kit would send the supervisor into some sort of shock.
3. The article about compact defensive rifles was nice and the firearms looked pretty cool. As for me I’ll stick with my Ruger Scout in 7.62MM, thank you very much. With the 16 inch barrel it’s compact enough. As for hitting things, at 200 yards from a sandbag, the groups are a little under 2 MOA which is fine. My Scout has a good combination of accuracy and power in a relatively lightweight package. I figure, in a worst case scenario to survive a deadly encounter, one must shoot and run. Being alone or with a friend or two, if you choose to stand your ground and fight a pitched battle you’re signing your own death certificate.
OK now that I have put this bit of heresy down, you can start trashing me.

The article about compact defensive rifles was nice and the firearms looked pretty cool, but they are not for me. I’ll stick with my Ruger Scout in 7.62MM thank you very much.

Being alone or with a friend or two, if you choose to stand your ground and fight a pitched battle you’re signing your own death certificate. Don’t get me wrong, with a semi-automatic you can put a lot of rounds down range, but firepower is not the amount of rounds down range, it’s how many hits on target. The scout-rifle gives me a rifle I can use to feed and defend my family. With the Scout, I can still be very effective without a greater-capacity semi-automatic rifle.

mike, the best firearm to have is the one you’re comfortable with. Period.
