Culture

The people on the left, the ones from the city, think that they understand the culture of those who don’t live in the city.

They don’t understand that there are thousands of people who spend thier weekends shooting and think nothing of hitting a paper plate from 300 yards away- and farther. Many of those people have no idea of the difficulty of such a shot.*

You say that you want to take our guns away. To them, there is this message.+

There are many thousands of Americans who feel this way. I refuse to submit. I refuse to be defeated. I am an armed American patriot, and freedom is my birthright. I will not be subjugated, and because I am armed, I and my fellow armed Americans will be difficult to load into the boxcars.

* Hitting an 8 inch paper plate from 300 yards is a shot that requires moa accuracy. A person capable of that kind of accuracy would be able to hit a person from 500 or even 600 yards.

+ I really like this band. Good old fashioned southern rock. As a general rule, any band with a Rebel Flag guitar usually plays good music.

Our friend

So we contacted our friend who is trapped in Kabul. She says that she is “on base,” where she and her coworkers are trying to assist other Americans and Afghanis in evading the Taliban and getting on aircraft. They have apparently established some sort of underground railroad kind of operation.

I don’t know what base she is talking about. If anyone is familiar with Kabul and would like to give your opinion, I would live to hear your thoughts in comments.

I have no idea who she is working for. I am beginning to think that it is a three letter agency.

Where does this end?

The CDC has reversed its decision to let the eviction moratorium expire, and has reinstated that moratorium until October 3. The actual text of the order can be found here. (pdf warning) There is one possibility that I see to removing a tenant:

If there is another part of the lease that is being violated, or if the lease has expired, it seems to me that there is room here.

Where does this end? Is there any endpoint where a property owner gets his property back? There is all of this talk about “people losing their homes,” but the people losing their homes are the landlords, not the tenants.

Judges are our masters

Congress couldn’t do it. The President can no longer do it. A judge in Atlanta can.

Override civil contracts by fiat, that is. The eviction moratorium expired at midnight Saturday night, except in Atlanta, where a judge claimed that evictions would be prohibited for another 60 days.

If I were an Atlanta area landlord, all servicing of rental properties would stop. No more trash collection, property taxes, or any other services would be taken care of. You might as well admit that in some areas of the nation, the right to private property no longer exists.

What if?

What if Donald Trump declared that he was transgender, and her new pronouns were to be she/her, and then the newly minted Desmond Trump announced her candidacy for President? Which would win? The hatred of all things Trump, or the love of all things tranny?

Missed deadline

I am currently fishing on the Penobscot River, just a few miles south of the Canadian border. There isn’t much in the way of cell service up here, and since you are reading this, it means that I didn’t get today’s post done due to lack of internet access.

Tax filing

I find it ironic that this article makes the claim that Intuit is “screwing over” taxpayers by charging them to use its products without mentioning how it is the government screwing over taxpayers by making the product necessary in the first place.
