Mexico is complaining that there are too many guns illegally entering their country. Perhaps they should build a wall to keep them out.
Antigun
Red Flagged
I know this happened a couple of months ago, but I just learned of it. A man in Stuart, Florida was attending the town’s Christmas parade when police noticed he was wearing what turned out to be Level IV body armor. He was detained and it turned out he was also carrying a dagger and a pistol.
Local residents freaked out, saying that he must have been up to no good, since he was carrying those items and was in the same general area as a sitting congressman.
The cops held him for hours before releasing him without charges. That doesn’t matter to the cops, they kept his vest, knife, and gun, and are going to use a risk protection order to strip him of his rights. Keep in mind, he wasn’t breaking any laws.
This is why I have been, and remain, opposed to so-called “red flag” laws.
Failure of Education
Not Surprising
Kim is a bit shocked that Rand Paul doesn’t like ICE. That isn’t anything new, since the Pauls are staunch libertarians, and are therefore opposed to borders and border enforcement. Read the LP platform yourself:
We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.
Yet another reason why I can’t be a libertarian. You can’t get rid of borders until you get rid of government giveaways. An open border cannot coexist with a welfare state. It’s math.
Anti American left
I Understand
San Francisco schools are closed today because their teachers are on strike. The largest part of their demand is access to the same healthcare benefits enjoyed by their illegal immigrant students.
The district announced that schools would be closed Tuesday and urged parents to check the district website “for learning, food, childcare, and district support resources.
Fully half of all San Francisco students are illegals, or the anchor babies of illegal immigrant parents. Illegal immigrant households get free healthcare. I understand why teachers feel that it is unfair that they have to pay healthcare costs when their students don’t. You know what?
I also don’t care.
The teachers voted for this. Elections have consequences.
Communism
Property Tax Waste
The debate over property taxes continues. The left claims that property taxes are necessary for things like the fire department and schools, but it’s hard to make that case while local governments are using those taxes to help people break the law…
Criminals
Cop Is Right
Check this out. A woman is caught doing 104 miles per hour in a 65 zone, and the cop I thought was pretty professional here.
She is swerving through traffic, passing in every lane, including the emergency lane, and flashing her lights at people to get them to move out of her way, all while doing 40 miles per hour over the speed limit. She deserves to get arrested, because it is a crime in Florida to go over 100 miles per hour, especially when driving like that. I would go a step further and say driving like she was should get your car permanently impounded.
I have cut far too many dead bodies out of cars because of people like this. This is no different than standing in the middle of downtown with a firearm having target practice in the middle of the street. It’s reckless behavior and needs to be stopped.
Military
Bravado
As I said, too many morons like to talk about manpower. The thing is, manpower means exactly nothing when they don’t have supplies or transportation. The US military is quite good at using force multipliers. Once all of the infrastructure is blown up, those million troops on the other side of the ocean are useless, as are the 40 million unarmed civilians sitting less than 100 miles from the US border.
Most on the left know nothing about warfare or anything, really. That doesn’t mean all of them are clueless, but the vast majority are. They have no idea what such a war would mean.
Cops
Pull Them Out
Yet again, we have a case where the American public is told that cops don’t have to protect you. The school resource officer from the Uvalde school shooting was just found not guilty of all charges for standing outside of the school and hiding while the shooter massacred the students that the cop had a duty to protect.
It turns out, the cops don’t have a duty to do a damned thing except collect a pension. This echoes the case where the coward of Broward, Scot Peterson, was allowed to retire with his pension intact, even though he hid during the Parkland School Massacre and as the School’s Resource Officer, it was his job to protect the school’s students.
If police don’t have a duty to do anything, then why do we even have SROs in school in the first place? In shooting after shooting, we know that the police are cowardly pussies who will take cover while our children are slaughtered. That’s how we know that they aren’t about to go door to door to take shit.
Pull the cops out of the schools and cut police and school budgets by an appropriate amount. School resource officers are a horrendous waste of money.
Illegals
Replaced
So an apology when I am wrong. I posted a couple of months ago my estimate for the illegal immigrant population. I said that I believed it was 16 million. There were those in comments who claimed it was as many 30 million. All of us may have been low.
News came out this week, many of the non-domiciled (in other words out of state residents) CDLs are issued illegally to illegal immigrants. North Carolina has 53%, New York 52%, and California claiming 29%, but not allowing the Feds to check. In all, there are 100,000 KNOWN illegal immigrants with CDLs in the US.
One in five construction workers are illegals. As many as 4 million. Of course, the pro-illegal lobby says those illegals built 400,000 houses (non-hosted PDF alert). Unless they are all living 10 to a house, that’s a net loss.
During the third Obama term Biden administration, as many as 3 million people a year illegally entered the US, so there is another 12 million. In fact, 52 million people (1 in 6 of us) are not born in this nation, that we know of. Half of them have been here for over 10 years, a quarter of them more than 20.
Anecdotally, there are dozens of counties in this state where more than half of the residents do not speak English. Before anyone accuses me of having this opinion out of racism: I say the same shit when people move here from New York, so don’t go there. Your race card won’t work here.
The Center for Migrant Studies of New York, a liberal, pro-illegal immigration lobbying group, claims that there are 8.4 million illegal immigrant workers in the US. as of 2024. The data above suggests that the number is far, far higher. Looking at these numbers, 30 million illegals seems low. While there are no accurate counts, all evidence points to there being a much larger illegal immigrant population than anyone is estimating. There are perhaps as many as 45 million illegals at this point- one out of every 7 residents.
We have been overrun. There is no way the US can possibly get rid of the illegals at this point. They are entering at multiples of what can be deported, especially considering the resistance coming from the left.

FBI Reenters the Caliber Wars
Listen to the below video:
There are 9mm projectiles out there that are doing the same thing the forties are doing, but we can take the full power nines that are still less recoil impulse, high magazine capacity…
I own handguns in all of the major self defense calibers, including a few .40S&W and about three times as many 9 millimeters. I can’t tell you the last time I carried, or even shot, a forty caliber. When the FBI decided to use that caliber, they did so by neutering the 10mm. Why? Because female and limp wristed beta male Federal officers can’t handle the recoil of full power handguns.
I’m just going to say this: The 9mm has been a go to carry piece for me because of capacity and ease of concealment. If I were a Fed and could carry what I wanted without fear of printing or accidentally flashing, I would carry a full sized handgun.
He says it, but in a roundabout way:
I asked the guy at Hornady, why are we seeing huge gains in 9mm performance, but not in the other calibers? His answer was “you allowed us to increase velocity.”
This is a fundamentally misleading statement. The 10mm had plenty of velocity, but you forced the industry to slow it down and called it a .40. That’s why the “S&W” at the end is said to stand for “slow and weak.” The heart of the issue is at 12:45 (paraphrased just a bit):
10mm was fine for some agents, but you can’t hand that to a “Fleet” of 13,000 agents. The 180 grain bullet generates too much recoil, so let’s slow it down. Well, if you slow it down, you might as well go to a 40.
The other issue was the handgun chosen for the 10mm: The model 1076. He says half of the guns bought had to go back to the Performance center to be reworked because the gun didn’t function correctly. That’s a firearm, not a caliber problem. Still, recoil was and remains an issue.
All handguns are tradeoffs. Still, let’s be honest here- the FBI went back to the 9mm because women and soyboys are recoil sensitive, and the 1076 was just a crappy gun.
