Must… not… say…it.

I’d just get in trouble if I did. But I’ll present it, and you think up your own comments.


AOC dunks head in ice water on Instagram to ‘de-stress’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seen on Instagram on Monday partaking in the latest social media trend of dunking your face in ice water for health and beauty reasons.



OK, I won’t say the first thought; but there’s always this. Hey, hon; I hear that works better if you keep your head in there for 8-10 minutes.

Another thought. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make her drink.

Canada Round Up

Full on police state.

The mayor of Ottawa plans to sell confiscated vehicles instead of returning them to their owners. His statement was pretty revealing, and answered a question I had.

“I’ve asked our solicitor and our city manager, how can we keep the tow trucks and the campers and the vans and everything else that we’ve confiscated, and sell those pieces of equipment to help recoup some of the costs that our taxpayers are absorbing.”

I’d been wondering where they found tow truck operators willing to tow those vehicles. They didn’t. They confiscated — stole –the tow trucks. And now the mayor plans to sell them. Sell vehicles of people who simply didn’t want to get involved, not active protesters.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police — the once beloved “Mounties” — brag of being jackbooted thugs, hoping to get into the action so they can beat and trample people, too. They want to add trampling old women with horses to their standard tactics.

And yeah, Parliament approves of this shit.

Speaking of Parliament, MP Ya’ara Saks has declared that “Honk Honk” is a “new acronym” for “Heil Hitler.”

In better news, Canadians appear to getting tired of their shit.

Sick of people who don’t live in downtown Ottawa telling me I’m now free from some kind of occupation, when now I can’t get past police barricades to bring my dog to his favorite park. Truckers never asked me for my papers just to cross the street.

Yep, it appears you now have to show identity papers to travel, to walk, in Ottawa now. Papieren, bitte. And they call the protesters Nazis.

She’s not the only pissed off Canadian. Protests are spreading across the country. An anonymous (I don’t blame him, what with Canada freezing bank accounts of family members of suspected protesters and donors) trucker is calling for a general strike, and invites Americans to participate, too. Stock your pantry while you can, if you can.

Because things in America are about to get more interesting, as our own domestic trucker protest ramps up.

State and local law enforcement have called in support from the National Guard In anticipation of the massive convoy in the D.C. area between late February and late March, a government source told Fox News on Tuesday.

Preemptively calling up the NG.

Baldwin Could Have Fired Without Pulling The Trigger??

I question that. Someone with a single action revolver needs to check it.

EXCLUSIVE: Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria head out for coffee in NYC as Santa Fe DA reveals actor might have fired the gun that killed Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins ‘without pulling the trigger’
‘One of the investigators in my office happens to have a very old type revolver, and so he brought it, at my request, so that we could look at it and see if that was at all possible,’ Carmack-Altwies told Vanity Fair.

‘Then they visually showed me you can pull the hammer back without actually pulling the trigger and without actually locking it,’ she added. ‘So you pull it back partway, it doesn’t lock, and then if you let it go, the firing pin can hit the primer of the bullet.’

1. I doubt that a hammer pulled back short of half-cock would land with sufficient force to set off the primer.

2. Pulling the hammer back begins to rotate the cylinder. I don’t think a primer would even be under the hammer when it landed,

I don’t currently own a SA revolver. Someone who does should fact-check me.

AOC – Super-Genius

Apparently someone has already written an Ocasionally-firing-Cortex biography, or something.


Tucker Carlson mocks AOC on-air, she responds by suggesting there’s ‘sexual harassment’ in his office
“Yes, it’s a lighter topic than tyranny in Canada or war in Ukraine,” Tucker continued, “We’ve got limited self-control of stuff like this. It’s an amazing book … It opens by comparing Ocasio-Cortez to Jesus and then it suggests that because she once got second place in a high school science competition, she could have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. It is a remarkable piece of journalism.”


I took third place — and a Corps of Engineers medal*, cash prize from MLG&W, and couple more cash prizes — at the county science fair for a joke that I spent about two days putting together. Can’t say I expected to win a Nobel Prize.

A Pulitzer maybe, for creative writing.


* Years later, in the Air Farce, I convinced one of my commanders that I was entitled to wear that ribbon-around-the-neck medal with my uniform.

Freedom Convoy Impact

When mainstream media notice the Freedom Convoy at all, all the attention is on the physical “disruption” in Ottawa. But I figured it has to be felt in other ways.

Canada, like America, has a trucker shortage. For three weeks, an admittedly small minority of those truckers have been sitting out in Ottawa. Thus, they aren’t moving cargo. You might think that’s no big deal, affecting an equally small minority of cargo.

Not so. Cargo still moves, but it gets delayed while brokers try to match cargoes to trucks. So everything slows just a little bit. But when stuff really needs to get from point a to point B now, folks will bid up for priority.

The effect has been to increase shipping rates for standard heavy-haulers by 44%. Delays were worst when the America/Canada Ambassador Bridge was blocked, but there are delays yet for cross-Canada loads.

Point to Freedom Convoy. That’s why, a few days ago, I suggest they advance to a new phase in the protest. Go home, stay home. Then let industries waiting on parts and materials doing the yelling at Truedope for them. Let consumers — you know, the folks those increased shipping costs get passed to — yell at Little Hitler for them.

Reports say the Ottawa police are massing to begin arrests. That plays into the Convoy’s hands, too. When they’re in jail, just like when they’re sitting at home, they aren’t moving goods. Better yet, if they were at home, and Trudeau somehow found two brain cells to rub together and capitulated, they could go back to work. Locked up in jail, that isn’t an option.

Authorities have also threatened to revoke commercial and personal driver licenses, and freeze bank accounts. If they really are that stupid — and the GoSendGo donor accounts freezers suggest they are — then those drivers will never get back to hauling. The shipping cost and delays increase becomes semi-permanent as the trucking industry tries to train and hire all their replacements; said replacements likely to be less efficient initially due to inexperience.

Canada’s Parliament was scheduled to debate Trudeaus’ invoking the Emergencies Act. Conveniently, that was cancelled because Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act and is sending the police to Parliament Hill to arrest truckers and cut Canada’s economic throat. So I really don’t see the moron suddenly coming to his senses.

Point to Convoy. And when the mass arrests happen, game.

Arresting a bunch of unproductive, protesting college students is one thing. Arresting a bunch of productive workers, upon whom everyone in the country is dependent, is quite another.

I don’t think this freak thought things through.

This weirdo is claiming to be the person did the GiveSendGo hack and doxxed the Freedom Convoy donors (which list Canada apparently is now using to freeze bank accounts.

So we’ve got his face and voice. We have his TikTok account. TikTok account leads to IP addresses and email address; probably a phone number, too. He can be identified.

From the look and sound, I’m guessing this guy is probably American, in America. Hacking is illegal. If the Biden FBI shows any interest, busting him is easy. And juuuust maybe he should hope for arrest.

He just pissed off 92,000 (the number I heard; it’s approaching 110,000 now) people who already willing to pony up millions of dollars for a goal they found worthy of support. Suppose they turn their sights on him.

At this point, his best bet is to run and go to ground.

Maybe some Canadian officials should consider that as well.

Offhand, this bill sounds like a bad idea.

I really need to see the actual text of Tennessee HB2554/SB2523. The summary is disturbing.

Firearms and Ammunition – As introduced, expands the definition of “law enforcement officer” to include a person who has been issued an enhanced handgun carry permit; provided, that the permit is not suspended, revoked, or expired, for purposes of authority to carry a firearm under certain circumstances. – Amends TCA Title 39.

The intent is probably to allow concealed carry in areas currently restricted to law enforcement. But I think it would be a better idea to amend the permit law for that, rather than cause licensed idiots to think they’re real cops. Even if the text specifies that folks with EHCPs don’t really have powers of arrest, some dipstick is bound to try.
