Comments

Here we go with having to point out the rules again, just as we have to do every few months. We discuss controversial topics here. Disagreement and debate is encouraged. Disagree with me all you like. Starting your post by claiming to be able to avoid a ban by saying?

I’m in the US using a VPN. Yo may have heard of them?

Before going on to pile on personal attacks? Your comment won’t make it out of moderation, nor will I even read most of it. Let me remind you of blog rules for posting:

I know that you can pull tricks like IP spoofing, changing your name, etc. So don’t think doing that is going to earn you “I’m so clever” points. It doesn’t make you clever, it makes you an ass.

If you don’t already know: The owner of this blog (me) has the final say on what you can and cannot post. It’s my house, I make the rules. Content here is moderated, and I will not be approving any comments that I find, in my sole judgement, to be unworthy.

Deliberately posting statements that are aimed at insulting the blog owner (me) will get your comment tossed in the trash. Feel free to disagree with me, just don’t think that i will allow you to call names or impugn anyone’s character.

Sudafed

The Federal government forced drug companies to restrict drugs that contain pseudoephedrine because people are using it to make meth. People still have no problems making meth, but now I can’t get decent decongestants.

Then they listed phenylephrine as the new hotness for congestion, but it doesnt work for shit. The only way to get real Sudafed is to show ID and be tracked.

Now the FDA is questioning the effectiveness of the new drug that they are forcing you to buy, so CVS is pulling it from the shelves. This is what government does.

We Already Knew That

Natalee Holloway disappeared in 2005 while on a trip to Aruba. Her body was never found, and she was finally declared dead in 2012. She was seen leaving the bar with a 17 year old who was politically connected to his father, a judge. Largely because of those connections, he walked. Shades of Hunter Biden and Chelsea Clinton, there.

The douche even admitted on video to disposing of her body and posted it on social media. He contacted the Holloway family and offered to give them the location of her body in exchange for money. Enter the incompetents at the FBI. The paid him the ransom in exchange for what they knew was false information, and then let him leave the country with the $25,000 in payoff money.

What finally tripped him up is when he murdered another girl who found information about the Holloway murder on his laptop in 2014, and he murdered her. He was caught and sentenced to 28 years in Peruvian prison.

Now it turns out that he has pled guilty to extortion and the murder of Holloway in exchange for a lighter sentence. He got another 20 years added to the 28 he is already going to serve for the murder in Peru, and another 18 he got for smuggling cocaine into the Peruvian prison. However, Peruvian law prohibits any jail term of over 35 years, so he will be released in 2045. His plea deal says that the time he serves in Peru will also count as time served in the US.

So to sum things up- plead guilty to the murder of two women, smuggle cocaine into prison, and use the evidence of one of the murders to extort money from the FBI gets you a total of 35 years in prison. Now contrast that with the 33 years that prosecutors wanted for Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs for his role in the J6 protests.

Leaving the Dollar

The yields on Treasury bills hit a 16 year high, and they aren’t done. Inflation in the US is killing confidence in the dollar. China has been engaged in moving away from holding US treasuries. They have sold off many debt holdings, going from holding $1.3 trillion in US debt to just over $800 billion- a downsizing of about 40%.

All of this is making it more and more expensive for the US to pay the interest on the $33 trillion that it already owes, and will soon begin affecting the strength of the dollar. The US will have to create money out of thin air in order to cover this as well as still keep sending money overseas. Expect more inflation to come as a result.

Teens and Consent

I agree with Fenix Ammunition on this one.

The law on this really sucks. If a 12-17 year old comes to the hospital, we are legally not permitted to discuss anything involving reproductive health with anyone that the patient (child) hasn’t permitted, including the patient’s parents.

It gets even more confusing. Let’s say that a 17 year old girl is involved in a car accident. Let’s look at a few scenarios:

  • Being a minor, she legally cannot refuse medical treatment and must be transported to the hospital, even over her own objections.
  • If she is pregnant, she can refuse care because the car accident can affect the unborn child, so she is considered to be an adult
  • If she has a baby in the car but is not pregnant, she can refuse medical care for the baby, because she is the child’s mother, but she cannot refuse care for herself because she is a minor

This is what happens when the government gets involved in anything. They always make it muddier and more screwed up than it needs to be.

Three Times is Enemy Action

As I reported earlier, there is now a shortage in the ammunition market. The old saying goes: Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. This shortage is therefore looking like it’s being caused by government fiat. In the past month:

We know that Biden said more than a year ago that he wants to cut off ammunition sales to the public. He tried last year to cut off the funding to the plant, but was stopped by Congress. So, it appears that he is trying a new tactic.

Mr Guns and Gear has some information on this:

This is not the end. Expect things to accelerate. I think that 2024 is going to be a rough ride.
