Blatant

Remember the black kid who stabbed and killed the white one because he was accused of sitting in the wrong seat? He is claiming that it was self defense and has a gofundme that has raised $150k so far.

I remember when Gofundme took down the fundraiser for Kyle Rittenhouse.

“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime,” the company said

It’s this kind of shit that has slowly caused me to become more and more distrusting of companies, of blacks, and violent crime. Gofundme is either racist, anti-gun, or simply just too liberal. Probably a combination of all three. For those reasons, I won’t be donating one cent to any of their fund raisers for any reason.

Stupid Transplants

A woman is arrested after she holds two kids at gunpoint because they were fishing in the pond behind her house, saying: “If someone goes in your back yard, you can blow their fucking heads off.”

Of course she is wrong, but judging by the accent, this is another Yankee liberal who thinks that the south is filled with gun toting, ignorant rednecks who shoot everything that moves. It turns out that the kids were 15 and 13 year old brothers who were just fishing, and the boys weren’t even on her property. The ignorant Yankee? She was armed with a pellet gun. That still won’t protect this moron from the law- pointing a gun at someone while threatening to kill them is a felony- even if the gun isn’t loaded or real.

Even worse- she threatened to kill two kids for FISHING.

Stop New Yorking my Florida.

It’s a street in a strange world

Maybe it’s the third world. Two border patrol agents have been caught taking thousands of dollars in bribes to allow people to enter the country through the nation’s busiest port of entry without showing documents. Both men were paid thousands for each vehicle they waved through.

While Almonte was in custody, investigators allegedly seized nearly $70,000 in cash they believe his romantic partner was trying to move to Tijuana. Prosecutors wrote in a court filing that Almonte is potentially facing additional charges for money laundering and obstruction of justice..There have been five US Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to the San Diego area to face similar corruption charges in the last two years.

Keep telling me how we need to defend Federal workforce jobs.

Bring Your Friends With You

The press is filled with stories of people protesting Trump’s policies. If you believe the reports in the MSM, you would have to think that Florida is taking a huge financial hit because Canadians are angry with the US President. The problem is that this take is complete fabricated nonsense. This article in money wise is a great example. In it, the writer claims that Canadians are leaving en masse because of skyrocketing costs brought about by Trump’s tariffs. The cost increases haven’t even happened yet, but even once they do it won’t be that large of a hit. If you read on down the article, you hit the money quote:

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta found that an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, and 10% tariffs on other countries could raise consumer prices on everyday retail purchases such as food and beverage items and general merchandise, covering about a quarter of the total consumption basket, by 0.81% to 1.63%, assuming the costs are fully passed to the consumer.

So the tariffs will increase costs by up to 1.63%? That is a fraction of the increase in costs brought about by the Biden inflation. Any costs that are causing people to flee have been going on for years. The media is lying. Again.

The same exact website in January was making the claim that Florida’s insurance rates were skyrocketing because of climate change, and this was the cause for Canadians leaving. Proving that the press hates Trump even more than climate change, less than three weeks later the boogieman had changed and it was no longer climate change, but President Trump that was causing insurance to increase.

The real culprit happened in 2021 when the 12 story Surfside condo collapsed, killing 98 people. The condo wasn’t being maintained, and seawater intrusion had corroded the steel supports. In response, the state of Florida instituted regulations and inspections to require condo buildings be repaired and properly maintained- especially of the buildings are over 3 stories or located near the beach. Nearly 90% of the 1.6 million condos in Florida are more than 30 years old, and most haven’t been inspected or repaired in that time, because the condo associations don’t want to spend the money to do so.

The new law requires associations to have sufficient reserves to cover major repairs and to conduct a survey of reserves every decade. Because of the law, older condos are facing hefty increases to association payments to fund the reserves and repair costs. Condo owners went to Tallahassee and demanded that the state set aside tax dollars to pay for those repairs. Those increased repair and insurance costs are hitting condos hard.

In 2024, Canadians buying vacation homes accounted for 25% of all home sales in Florida. This means that wealthy northerners and Canadians, who are overwhelmingly the owners of beachside condos and were members of condo associations that were voting against paying the costs of properly maintaining the buildings are selling as the cost of owning second homes in Florida is too high, especially when you take the falling value of the Canadian dollar into account.

Real estate agent Gatien Salaun, who owns a waterfront condo in Miami Beach, said what appears to be a recent reduction in average sale prices is largely just buyers negotiating with sellers to eat some of the costs.

“They are simply asking for price reductions that are commensurate with that exact amount that they will have to pay over the next 20 years, 30 years in assessments,” Salaun said. “And the sellers are somewhat stuck in terms of negotiating with the buyer or just paying for the cost themselves.”

Still, the real estate prices in Florida are as high as they are because the weak US dollar (see the price of gold) caused people from other nations, especially Canadians, to buy up a lot of prime US real estate to use as vacation homes. Now that the costs are being realized, they want to sell and leave. Good. Take a friend with you.

To the mainstream media- we are done with your lies.

Pull the Other One

We are constantly told by the left that noncitizens can’t vote, and instances of them doing so are ‘vanishingly rare’. Claiming otherwise gets you a ‘fact check’ where your statement is ‘debunked’.

If that is the case, then why would anyone oppose an executive order that enforces current voting laws by ordering the government to crack down on illegal immigrants who vote? Yet, that is exactly what a lawsuit filed by the DNC is all about. Why file a lawsuit against a law that would prevent people from doing what you already claim they aren’t doing?

Honor Student

Seventeen year old Austin was the MVP of his high school football team. He had a 4.0 GPA. He and his twin brother were two popular students at their Texas high school. In fact, Austin had recently returned from a hunting trip with his dad, where he had bagged his first hog. As a high school junior, he was already receiving college scholarship offers. He had a bright future ahead of him.

All of that changed on Wednesday night when he was robbed of that future. Most news reports simply say that he got into “an altercation” with another teenager and got stabbed. That account leaves out some key facts. Here is what happened:

Austin and his classmates were attending a track meet at 10am on Wednesday when Austin told someone who was sitting in the stands that seating was organized by school, and that he was sitting in the wrong section. The 17 year old who was seated in the wrong seat apparently though that it was a serious transgression for someone to point out that he was sitting in the wrong seat, because he pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin in the heart.

Austin died in his twin brother’s arms.

His murderer? We all know what you are about to see, but here he is.

There is almost no information out there about this killer. I am betting that its because his record has been sealed. Someone who comes to school armed with a knife and stabs another after being told they are in the wrong seat isn’t a trouble free honor student. Our schools are dangerous places where little education takes place. We as a society like to pretend that everyone can live together in harmony, but that is demonstrated to be false nearly every day.

Whenever a black person gets shot while being arrested by the cops, we always hear about how he was a troubled teen who was turning his life around, but it’s all bullshit. The facts are what they are- more than half of all murders and violent crime are carried out by one demographic. In this case, a so-called troubled teen killed an actual honor student, someone who actually DID have his life in order, and HAD a bright future.

Had a white kid killed a black kid, it would be the lead story for every major news outlet. It isn’t news when a black kid kills a white one, because it happens so often that it just isn’t news.

No One is Coming to Save You

The Supreme Court recently upheld a Biden era ATF rule that requires serial numbers, background checks and a dealer to transfer their “buy, build, shoot” kits- ruling that selling a kit that could readily be turned into a firearm is the same thing as actually selling a firearm. This decision is going to put Polymer80 out of business. You can read the actual decision here (pdf alert, hosted offsite). It’s a major defeat for liberty, and a bellwether of things to come from this court. The only two justices who dissented were Thomas and Alito. Now you know why the left wants Alito gone.

The decision for now is narrowly targeted at the Polymer80 kit, which came with the unfinished frame, the jig, and the tools needed to convert the parts into a firearm. The court’s majority specifically said that this applies only to parts sold as a complete kit, so for now 80% frames and receivers from makers like 80% Arms are completely legal, but you can expect that to be dealt with in later courts.

I have said for awhile that Trump’s best attribute was his SCOTUS picks. Now that it appears that those picks and Congress have again turned their backs on the 2A crowd (as Republicans always seem to do, once they have the pro-2A vote in their pocket), the only difference between the two parties is the speed with which we are headed off the cliff. No matter what Trump does, he can’t overcome the inertia of the uniparty.

You can read the informational post from 80% Arms here. The reason that 80% is getting away with this, is that they are not selling the jigs or tools needed to finish their lowers. They are continuing to sell 80% AR lowers and 76% Glock lowers, even though the Glock lowers are sold out.

As I have pointed out time and again on this blog, no one is coming to save you, and there is no voting your way out of this. We are too far down the path to totalitarianism. SCOTUS is not going to be a big friend to the gun community, and this Trump administration is a mere speed bump on the way to tyranny. At this point, we are looking at a pretty bleak future for the country. The median income in the US is just shy of $40,000 a year- but those who make less than $40k don’t pay any income taxes, once you factor in refundable tax credits. Those who make less than $25k don’t pay any taxes of any kind. Those who vote for a living are out voting those who work for a living. There is no coming back from that.

What that means is that the Democrats are promising free shit to the poor while simultaneously using those votes to slowly enact a tyranny. That’s why they want you disarmed. So here is my advice- do one of the following:

Buy a 3D printer. The left is already making it a felony to use a 3D printer to make firearms, and a misdemeanor to exchange the files needed to do so. They are also pressuring the makers of 3D printers to encode blocks on the printers making it impossible to make firearms or firearm parts. If you have a 3D printer, I would make sure that firmware or software updates don’t happen automatically, or you may find that your 3D printer gets neutered. You can find a guide for making your own receivers here.

Or you can buy a Ghost Gunner for about $2500 that will allow you to make AR receivers from plain aluminum blocks, as well as do all sorts of metalworking like cutting slides for red dot sights.

I am planning on buying one or the other this summer, once my current projects come to a conclusion. I am nearing completion of my 300 Blackout project. Once that is done, I will put a deposit on a Ghost Gunner 3 or buy a 3D printer.

Civil Matter

Yesterday, we saw a story about cops refusing to get involved when a crime was committed. The list of cops claiming that they can’t get involved in a “civil matter” rears its head again.

In this case, the police refused to get involved when a teacher and her wife were housing a teen who either ran away or was enticed to leave the house after she argued with her mother in December. They mother located the child, who was 17 at the time, at the home of the child’s teacher. The police were called on January 5. The police refused to return the child to her parent’s custody. The police refused to get involved, saying that the child was not in distress and could not be compelled to leave the premises. The point is a moot one now, as the child turned 18 on March 25.

In a video produced by the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, Stein [the child’s mother] said she believes “Joann Smotherman [the teacher] is responsible for my broken daughter thinking that all of her problems are because she’s truly a boy.”

This is why these faggots want access to your kids- they are being groomed to become the sexual playthings of these crazy trannies. The police are saying that anyone can interfere with parental custody and that isn’t a crime in Colorado, as long as the kid enjoys it.

JoAnn Smotherman, in a brief interview, said she met the teen while teaching. In a statement, the couple said the teen had fled a “dangerous environment” and reached out to supportive networks.

“This was not about his gender,” the Smothermans wrote. “It was about compassion. It was about protecting a vulnerable young person when no one else would. We did not seek him out. We did not groom him. We offered safety, food, and support while he found his footing and began building a life on his own terms. That is not a crime. That is what decent people do.”

That is exactly what grooming is. You convinced this impressionable child that she was actually a boy, turned her against her mother, and then convinced her to come live with you.

There comes a point where there will be a price to be paid. If the police can’t protect children, the parents will have to. I know that I will never be on a jury for a case like this, if for no other reason than the existence of this blog, but I I ever was, I will never vote to convict anyone who uses force to rescue their child from one of these monsters.

With the police not doing anything, despite the fact that this teacher kidnapped a child, I am afraid that we will have to add Durango to Zone 2, political violence that is being sanctioned by government officials.

Plumbers

A plumber is called out for a clogged drain. The plumber clears it and charges $235. Three days later, the clog returned. Since it was a weekend, the plumber charged $390. The restaurant questioned the plumber about the quality of his work.

The next day, the plumber returned and clogged the pipe with an inflatable plug and sent them a message that they had an hour to pay him or he was going on vacation and they would be screwed until he got back.

That isn’t how business is done. You don’t get to enter my property uninvited to sabotage my business over a billing dispute. The cops, useless as usual, claimed it was a civil matter and refused to get involved.

At that point, i would have gone outside and beat me some plumber ass. If vandalizing my plumbing is a civil matter and not a crime that the police will do anything about, then you have to do a self help solution.

My advice to the restaurant is get a new plumber.

Leftist Violence

A couple of events this week show how the left communists are still engaged in violent warfare against everyone who doesn’t agree with them.

In the first case, we have a tranny who attacked students on campus at UT Dallas by swinging a bike lock on the end of a cable, striking a young woman in the head. That’s right- a crazed man committed an armed battery on a young lady, whose only crime was daring to speak out for women’s rights. The worst part? It isn’t the first violent attack carried out by this man.

This attack was a deadly force incident. Swinging objects like skateboards, bike locks, or clubs are going to get a lethal response from me.

The second case also occurred on a college campus- this time in UNC Asheville. A table of pro-life students were attacked by a leftist student who screamed “I fucking hate you!” While accusing them of being fascists.

The student was identified as Adrian Miguelez, a candidate for student council.

The leftists keep up with their campaign of violence. I won’t be a victim, and this is why I am armed.
