The Brain-Washed Sheep Among Us

Tonight after work, I went over to the local convenience store for a gallon of milk. I followed in a young mother and her 4-5 year old daughter. As usual, since I am a FREE CITIZEN, I did not wear a mask of oppression, but they were both wearing one. I followed them over to the dairy case, and since they were out of whatever the mother was looking for, they moved to another part of the store to get other stuff . I noticed the little girl eyeballing me as they walked by. I grabbed my gallon of milk and headed to the register. The young mom and kid were already there, so I stood back the required 6 feet. Now the kid is staring at me, and tugging on mom, repeatedly saying, "mommy... mommy... mommy..." Finally mom says, "what?" and the kid points at me and says, "that man isn't wearing a mask!" Mom kind of ignored her but the kid kept staring and pointing, even as they walked by me to leave. I made a big eyed face and pointed right back at the kid as they walked by.

It took less than a year to brainwash the young `uns into state mandated compliance. Is it much of a leap before they start turning people in? Now, where have I heard about that situation before? Oh yeah, Nazi Germany, North Korea, Cuba, the old Soviet Union, east Germany, the entire Warsaw Pact and the Balkans. Everywhere that commies and dictators run the country. I found it quite sickening, and if that was an adult, they would have left my presence in tears.

Finally Getting To It

A Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Shield 45. No external safety and tritium night sights that I ordered back in November, and finally picked up last week. It was on the employee purchase program through S&W where my niece works. It was a comedy of errors that delayed me in receiving my new gun. Subsequent (if any) purchases I make should go much easier.

New in the box with all the goodies

A close up of just the pistol. SWEET!

 

I am one of those that reads instruction/owners manuals. It says to field strip and give a thorough cleaning and fresh lube before loading and firing. Done.

Field stripping is like most striker-fired pistols. No trigger pull is necessary

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like pistols that can be field stripped by hand. My Colt 1911, Glock 21 and Ruger S9c are that way. This one requires a small flat blade screwdriver to reach into the lower receiver once the slide is locked back, to flip down a small lever. Then you rotate the external take down lever 90 degrees clockwise, pull the slide back to release the catch, and ease the slide forward and off the lower receiver. Remove the spring assembly and barrel and you're done.

After I put it together, I filled the magazine with my hand loads. I use a Berry's 200 grain copper plated flat point bullet, and wanted to make sure they fed OK at least by hand. All 7 rounds fed and ejected by hand perfectly. I am now ready for an afternoon at the range. Once I know how and where it shoots, it will get another cleaning and then be ready for EDC. I will post up a range report and review, hopefully by the  weekend.

In a standard reply to gun grabbers, we all like to say how our guns were all lost in a tragic boating accident, "Sorry, nothing to turn in Mr. ATF." Well, I actually lost my Ruger LCP in a kayak dump this past Memorial Day weekend, and the gun spent two days submerged on the bottom of a river before being recovered. Since then, it has been in a oil bath awaiting a deep cleaning. I started it back in June, but lost the firing pin (it launched to parts unknown in my basement) and after an exhaustive search put it aside... until tonight. When I loaded and ejected those .45 rounds mentioned above, a couple rolled around the bench and went behind some stuff. When I moved said stuff... LOOKY HERE!! THE MISSING FIRING PIN!! So, when I finished with the 45 Shield, I tackled the LCP. It is all cleaned and lubed and ready for summertime EDC duty when wearing nothing but shorts and a t-shirt.

Bummed

Because I love cold weather motorcycling, but not in wintry weather. My driveway is all snow covered because I use a snowblower and the driveway is gravel. The roads are all sloppy and covered in the sand/salt mix from the storm that pulled out of here last night. So this is where "The Beast" remains, as it has since right after the New Years Day ride.

 

A full tank of treated gas. Hooked up to the Battery Tender smart charger. Up on the center stand and a homemade oak front fork stand to keep the weight off the brand new tires. And finally covered up with a full cover from Wingstuff.com to keep the dust off. The garage door opener for the bike is locked out so no one accidentally opens the door and lets a blizzard in.

My biker bud and I have been out at least once a month since April 2019. It is looking like we will have to miss out on February.

R.I.P. Mr. Limbaugh

They say remembering the first time you heard Rush on the radio equates to remembering where you were when you heard about JFK's assassination, or watched the moon landing. For me, that is absolutely true.

I have a lifelong friend that for years warned me of how dangerous #LIBTARDS and their ideology is, as well as the dangers of big government. I would tell him I didn't care and it doesn't matter, because they were gonna do what they were gonna do, and we couldn't stop them. Sure, I would vote in every election, but felt like I was just pissing into the wind. That changed in February 1991, exactly 30 years ago.

At the height of the 1st Gulf War in February 1991, every day at noon eastern time, General Norman "Stormin' Norman" Schwarzkopf would give a live press conference from The Pentagon on the previous actions against the Iraqis. It was broadcast locally on WPOP News Talk 1410 in Hartford and was my workday lunch time entertainment. The rest of the day I listened to nothing but hard rock as I drove around to different customer sites. This one particular day I went to lunch a little late. I parked my company truck at the WaWa Market in Wethersfield, CT to buy a sandwich, and shut my truck off as General Schwarzkopf was wrapping up the press conference. When I came out and restarted my truck, there was talking going on but I wasn't paying close attention, I was busy getting my lunch unwrapped to eat. After a few minutes, I realized that was not the press conference, it was something else. I turned up the volume to hear better.

My experience with AM talk radio of the time was BO-RIIIIIIIING! I equate it to what NPR sounds like today. Or it was sports, mostly baseball. This was neither. This was a guy saying things I thought and agreed with, and it sounded like he was talking to just me! He was loud, bombastic, and confident in what he said. I was intrigued and continued listening for the next few days. Then I discovered he was on more than just WPOP, he was on several stations at once in the New England area, so I could pick him up clearly no matter where I was. That was weird, because most talk shows were one guy on one station and blathered about gardening or local issues. He was taking on national topics and government and he was fearless. Those days turned into weeks, then months, then 30 years. 

Because of the nature of my job, for most of the last 30 years I did not get to listen to every hour every day. Since my career change in 2016, I did get to listen to him more and am now able to listen at work on my down time until I get an emergency call. Thanks to Rush's changing the landscape of talk radio, I listen to conservative talk radio in large chunks of time from 09:00 to 21:00 Monday through Friday. At 09:00 to 12:00 I stream Pastor Will Marrotti on WTIC AM 1080. Then Rush's show until 15:00. From 15:00 until 18:00 it is Todd Feinburg on WTIC AM 1080. After I get home it is "The Great One" Mark Levin from 18:00 until 21:00 on iHeart Radio. Pastor Will and Todd Feinburg are CT shows dealing with CT issues, while the other two are obviously national.

While I feel a great deal of loss for Rush, because he seemed like an old friend; he had a cadre of great substitute hosts. Tonight on Newsmax, Greg Kelly interviewed President Trump, and asked him if he thought about being the new host. President Trump praised Rush's ability to talk for three hours every day, as well as all the hard work Rush did for show prep. He said he wasn't interested because he didn't think he could do what Rush did. You can watch the whole interview here.

The show will go on. It must.

You Keep Using That Word

And that word is "VACCINE."

The definition from Dictionary.com:

"any preparation used as a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease, usually employing an innocuous form of the disease agent, as killed or weakened bacteria or viruses, to stimulate antibody production."

The purpose of a true vaccine is to prevent becoming infected, passing an infection, and gaining immunity to future infection and illness. It is accomplished by creating a vaccine with either weakened virus or dead virus, which your immune system will create a response to. You will then end up with an immune system that knows how to fight the virus if it sees it again. This experimental mRNA nonsense is a set of instructions "telling" your cells what to look for, which explains why you can repeatedly become infected and spread it around. The current batch of what is being touted as a COVID-19 vaccine is a pre-treatment that ONLY prevents the recipient from getting a severe case of Wuhan Flu. It doesn't prevent infection, infection spread, or getting a mild case of Wuhan Flu. I have read it may only be good for 3 months anyway, but who knows what the permanent physical damage could be? By the way, the keyword here is EXPERIMENTAL... meaning by taking the jab you agree to be a guinea pig in their laboratory. If things go bad later on you are on your own with no recourse for compensation, unlike a standard licensed vaccine. All this for an illness with a survival rate of:

Age 0-19: 99.997%
Age 20-49: 99.98%
Age 50-69: 99.5%
Age 70+: 94.6%

Therefore, we are being lied to about how important it is to get jabbed when it is your turn. My turn came and went and I passed with no regrets. In fact, the more I find out, the more intense my opposition to it is.
