Here is a picture from San Francisco today during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s arrival. Note that there are plenty of Chinese flags, but not one American flag.
If and when the US decides to break into pieces, California will be part of China.

Communism isn’t communism unless it presents a fake image of success.

I’m Going to Say It
CNN is allied with Hamas, and had foreknowledge of the October 7 attacks, making CNN a terrorist organization. I can excuse what Hamas did as an act of unrestricted warfare. However, CNN is not fighting a war unless they want to claim Hamas as their allies.

Breaking
A man reportedly armed with an AR-15 has been taken into custody by Capitol police in the park directly across the street from the Capitol. Isn’t it odd that people break laws with AR15s every time there is a gun control push…

Biden Hates America
Remember when your mom would tell you to stop touching your brother, so you would be like “I’m not touching you” to annoy the shit out of him? Yeah, this is like that.
A Federal Judge, in response to a Texas lawsuit against Federal agents cutting the border fence said that the Biden administration must stop “disassembling, degrading, or tampering” with the fence at the southern border. So this is what they are doing instead:
We didn’t cut the fence. We just lifted it up a little. Biden hates the USA.
Meanwhile, the new “conservative” speaker proves that the Republican party is useless, as he makes one of his first accomplishments- giving himself and the rest of Congress a $34,000 a year raise.

Just to be Clear
Segments of the US government were working with the Chinese government to release a plague that they jointly researched so the rules for elections could be changed to put a Chinese agent in the Whitehouse.
Thus bringing about the end of the United States and catapulting China into the #1 spot. Does that about cover the last three years?

Answer is Obvious
A US homeowner is living in a van because he can’t evict a tenant who is advertising the house on AirBNB. The answer is obvious: rent the house for a night from AirBNB, then refuse to leave. If you can’t evict him, he also can’t evict you. Geez, man. Think like a douchebag commie.

I Have Questions
Internet rando Eddie, claiming to be an “Alpha male” says that he is tired of waiting for Congress to act, so he going door to door and confiscating guns. Anyone who resists will be placed under citizens arrest.
- Under what legal theory or authority will this be carried out?
- Will Eddie and his fellow gun grabbers be armed?
- If not, how many houses will they enter before finding out?
- If they are, will they place themselves under arrest?
Oh, wait. He is Canadian.

Figures Don’t Lie, but Liars Figure
Interesting article in the Guardian on FBI crime statistics. The left is pissed because crime is going down, and this will make it harder for them to pass laws that are soft on criminals while still allowing them to outlaw guns. They can’t have that, so they are going to blame Ron DeSantis.
“The issue of crime is deeply weaponized and politicized and we see that come up especially during election cycles. Florida has very incomplete data but Governor Desantis’s campaign is stating they’ve made Florida the safest state.”
In Florida, only 8% of the police departments are represented in the 2022 data, according to the Marshall Project.
The real money quotes are located towards the end of the piece.
- Black Americans, who make up 13.6% of the population, accounted for 56% of the more than 16,000 homicide victims in the US.
- of the 19,200 weapons used to kill someone in 2022, 15,000 – or 77% – of them were a firearms, usually a handgun.
Let’s take a look at the FBI Report and see the data for ourselves. The FBI numbers themselves seem to have some confusion in them that isn’t due to spotty data.
First, race. There were 8,694 homicides committed by blacks in 2022, out of a total of 16,724 homicides.
Let’s look at just homicides. Of the 16,724 homicides, 5,803 (34%) of them had handguns listed as the means. That’s on the “crime” page with homicide selected as the crime.
Now look at the “expanded homicide data” page, and you see that 7,937 homicides were committed by handguns out of a total of 19,200 homicides (41% of homicides). Why the discrepancy? Why are there 19,200 homicides on one page, but the same dataset on a different page says there are 16,724? How can we trust these numbers?
Even so, looking at the data. There were 542 rifles (<3%) of all types and 186 shotguns (<1%) used as homicide weapons. More people were killed by “unarmed” assailants than were killed by assailants with rifles.
The obvious answer here is to make it illegal for black people to own guns. That would have prevented far more homicides than banning concealed carry or banning “assault weapons.” Wait, you say that’s ridiculous? I agree. Gun bans won’t stop evil people from doing evil things.

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:
- UTM is ordered by ATF to stop selling to the civilian market
- Explosion at Hornady, where one manly, FUGLY looking female employee was killed while mixing compounds for primers
- CCI, Speer, Remington, and Federal were sold to a foreign corporation
- Lake City cancels all commercial contracts.
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.
