Biden to give Minuteman III’s armed with nuke warheads to Ukraine? Tell me this is fake news. The rest of Europe is OK with this?

When you sell real estate at a profit, you have to pay capital gains taxes on the profit. There is an exception to that in the tax code, called chapter 1031. If the proceeds from the sale of the property are held in a third party escrow account and not accessible to the parties involved, and the funds are used to purchase another investment property, the taxes are deferred.

Biden says that this amounts to an interest free loan from the government to the investor. It’s as if he thinks that this money belongs to the government and the only way you keep some of it is because you are somehow using a loophole, even though it is actually part of the tax code. Unless he gets is way, of course.

What Biden wants to do is eliminate that chapter of the tax code, thus forcing the seller to pay the capital gains taxes upon sale without the deferral that has been available for a century.

After you pull the pin, Mr Grenade is not your friend. Do we need to come up with 4 rules of grenade safety?

I can hear the wife now: “I told you boys to stop throwing grenades in the house.”

How do you know that the drug is this vial:

isn’t actually the drug that is in this vial:

The answer? Without trusting that the medication is correctly labelled, you don’t. You trust that the label was correctly applied. OK, so you are a plumber. How can you be sure that this pipe:

Is made from a different material than this pipe:

When you are handloading ammunition, how do you know that the gunpowder you are using is the proper one? What if the one you are using actually creates dangerously high chamber pressures, but is labelled as if it didn’t? How would you know?

How do engineers know that the materials they are using are suitable for a task? It’s called standards. Materials are produced to a standard. Engineers trust that the standard is a good one, and that the certification that a material has met that standard hasn’t been falsified. So what happens if the agency that creates those standards begins to falsify them?

Some argue that Ray Epps is a government agent. Some say that he isn’t. No matter what, Ray Epps was urging others to carry out acts that he knew were illegal, and knew that he himself wasn’t going to participate in.

There is no shortage of those types of people on the right. The right is filled with people who would urge others to take risks that they themselves are not willing to take. Some of them comment on this very blog. They will stand there and criticize others for not stacking up, while they themselves are sitting at home behind their own keyboard, safe in the sure knowledge that they themselves won’t be getting thrown in prison, because they have absolutely no intention of doing a thing.

Still, they have no problems urging others to take that very step.

Angry blog posts? Is that all you think we are doing here? I have spent tens of thousands of dollars, and been engaged in this fight for decades. I meet with Congressmen, both state and Federal. I meet with local leaders. I donate money to parties and lobbyists. I run this blog. I spent most of COVID lockdown building firearms and then giving them to people who didn’t have one. I have taught dozens of people to love freedom, and love guns.

I have paid a price for what I have done in support of our rights. I have lost jobs over my stance. I have lost relationships. My own son doesn’t speak to me any longer, because I angered his anti-gun wife and her Fudd father over my stance on gun rights.

There is more to fighting the fight for our rights than just stacking bodies and rioting. More than going fishing.

But you know what? If you think that we need to begin pulling triggers, then stop coming here and excoriating us for not doing it while you yourself are doing nothing but bitching about it on someone else’s blog. Pick up a gun and set the example. Start stacking up.

I have long said on this blog that a civil war is the last thing that we need. It is a last resort, because the person that you are, the life that you lead, is over. The cost is quite high, the outcome uncertain, and the pain will be nearly unbearable. Millions will likely die. We don’t take actions like that for light reasons, and we certainly don’t destroy a nation and our lives if there is a hope that we can accomplish our objective any other way.

Stop trying to be a Ray Epps. Put up, shut up, or go fuck yourself. Stop trying to urge others to do what you will not do. Frankly, I’m over it. Comments to this post will not be allowed.

This blog is closed until further notice.

The shooter from Allen. Mauricio Estuardeo Garcia

Looking at Dallas court records, there is only one person with that name who was arrested at about that time. Date of birth of 10/29/1986. First arrest was for theft in 2010. The charge was reduced to a misdemeanor in a plea deal. The second arrest was in 2022, when he was arrested for felony possession of drugs and misdemeanor resisting/evading arrest. The felony drug charge was dropped in yet another plea deal.
