Good thing this woman didn’t have a weapon. That poor man might have gotten hurt.
He was arrested. His mother says he is schizophrenic and stopped taking his meds.

Not The Coffee
There is now a worldwide shortage of coffee beans. If you think people are cranky now, you haven’t seen anything, yet.
a global coffee shortage may be on the brink. Back in September of 2021, ABC reported that, “importers warned of a shortage that could last three years”. Coffee lovers can also expect prices hikes. Coffee retailer Starbucks has said that, “they are planning to hike its prices this year.” This was its third increase since October.
This shortage doesn’t only affect the economy, coffee lovers, and major food retailers. Small business owners are also expected to be impacted as well. These businesses struggle to gain access to grants and loans that the bigger companies do.
The future for coffee remains uncertain so for now, coffee lovers should savor every sip.
Seriously, though. The shortages of everything are going to get worse.

Weapons of War
The left says that the AR-15 is a weapon of war. I certainly hope so, because that is the only tool we have as we head off to fight this war that we are supposedly in, but didn’t know about. A leftist insurgent group calling itself Jane’s Revenge has made plain its intentions when it vandalized a pro-life center in Hollywood, Florida and in a communique left behind, said more attacks will follow.
Jane’s Revenge
First Communiqué
This is not a declaration of war. War has been upon us for decades. A war which we did not want, and did not provoke. Too long have we been attacked for asking for basic medical care. Too long have we been shot, bombed, and forced into childbirth without consent.This was only a warning. We demand the disbanding of all anti-choice establishments, fake clinics, and violent anti-choice groups within the next thirty days. This is not a mere “difference of opinion” as some have framed it. We are literally fighting for our lives. We will not sit still while we are killed and forced into servitude. We have run thin on patience and mercy for those who seek to strip us of what little autonomy we have left. As you continue to bomb clinics and assassinate doctors with impunity, so too shall we adopt increasingly extreme tactics to maintain freedom over our own bodies.
We are forced to adopt the minimum military requirement for a political struggle. Again, this was only a warning. Next time the infrastructure of the enslavers will not survive. Medical imperialism will not face a passive enemy. Wisconsin is the first flashpoint, but we are all over the US, and we will issue no further warnings.
And we will not stop, we will not back down, nor win we hesitate to strike until the inalienable right to manage our own health is returned to us.
We are not one group, but many. We are in your city. We are in every city. Your repression only strengthens our accomplice-ship and resolve.
—Jane’s Revenge
Also, Hollywood is now a Zone 1 location.
Crime
Details?
I would love to hear the details on this shooting. A rolling shootout on a major highway. All of Orlando is quickly becoming a no-go zone.
For those who don’t know, I-4 is the Interstate that runs through the middle of Orlando, and right by the Mall at Millenia. The Mall at Millenia is located near a mini ghetto, between the bad neighborhood on Americana blvd, and the bad neighborhood on Oakridge road.

Preordained Results
The DOJ has assembled a panel of “experts” to study the Uvalde incident.
- Sheriff John Mina, Orange County, Florida Was a Republican, now a Democrat
- Chief Rick Braziel (retired), Sacramento, Calif. He was one of the law enforcement officers who publicly lobbied for registering ammunition sales in California.
- Deputy Chief Gene Deisinger (retired), Virginia Tech, Va. He has been covering for bad policing since at least 2013: While this may be true, Deisinger said he is frustrated by the widespread criticism of law enforcement without providing any real alternatives. “One of my criticisms of North American culture is that we are really good at criticizing what somebody else did or failed to do,” Deisinger said.
- Director of Public Safety Frank Fernandez (retired), Coral Gables, Fla. He has been involved in the gun control movement for most of the last decade: “An 18-year-old with an AK-47 and an AR-15 is completely unreasonable,” said Frank Fernandez, director of public safety in Coral Gables, Florida, and the chairman of the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s firearms committee. “That is a weapon that is meant for destruction. It’s not a weapon that you can use to go hunting. That is a weapon … used in the theater of war.”
- Albert Guarnieri, FBI Unit Chief. This is the only panelist I couldn’t find a thing on.
- Major Mark Lomax (retired), Pennsylvania State Police, Pa. While campaigning for Sheriff of Bucks county as a Democrat, his position on guns was: While he supports the Second Amendment, he believes strongly in licensing and training and sees on need for assault weapons such as AR-15s.
- Laura McElroy, CEO, McElroy Media Group. This woman has been a media “spin master” for police departments like Chicago, Tampa, and others. She specializes in putting a good face on incidents where cops screw up.
- April Naturale, Assistant Vice President, Vibrant Emotional Health This woman is everywhere. She claims to specialize in traumatic stress. She has responded to the war in Ukraine, she was involved with the Feds, the UN, and COVID-19 (pdf warning), the shootings in San Bernardino, Sandy Hook, Hurricane Katrina, and numerous other mass shooting events. It’s like she goes everywhere there is a tragedy that was exploited by the left.
- Chief Kristen Ziman (retired), Aurora, Ill. Has been a part of the effort for more gun control in Illinois for years. She was involved in a scandal where she got intoxicated and left her service weapon behind in a bar before getting a subordinate to take the blame so her chances at becoming a Police Superintendent would not be ruined.
Every one of them is an antigun, pro police Democrat. I can already tell you what the findings of this whitewash will be.

Immunity
SCOTUS grants Federal Law Enforcement complete immunity from all civil rights lawsuits.

It’s Coming
The entire 4th circuit court of Appeals has ruled that the AR-15 is a “weapon of war” and is not protected by the Second Amendment. Shit is about to get spicy. Don’t count on the courts to stave this off.
Prepping
Resupply
I think that I have a pretty good amount of supplies laid in. With that being said:
Just because the Dems are going nuts, I went to GunMag Warehouse and ordered some Hexmag 30 round magazines in 5.56 for $10 each, and 20 round 7.62 NATO at $15 each.
Then I went to 2Awarehouse and ordered some 5.56 Lake City Greentip at 65 cents per round. I know there is cheaper ammo out there, but it’s usually dirty, steel cased, and 55 grains. This stuff also comes in a can and already on the stripper clips. I also got some subsonic 9mm at 54 cents a round. I was running low on subsonic stuff for the can.
I have a good stock of ammo, with my ammo count being a 5 digit number. I know there are some people with more, but we all stock what we can afford without having the spousal unit getting upset.
As usual, the disclaimer: I don’t advertise, and receive nothing for my reviews. I have no relationship with any products or vendors that I review here, other than being a customer. I pay what you would pay. I only post these things because I think that my readers would be interested.

Leftist Violence
In my post on “educating a leftie,“ I gave examples of just one year of leftist violence. In fact, other than the minor skirmishes of J6, the left has been the one to instigate all of the political violence in the past 6 years.
The latest example is this morning’s attempted assassination of a sitting Supreme Court Justice by a self described Democrat who had hoped to kill a conservative court member to flip the composition of the court so that he could “save” gun control and abortion.
Unlike the J6 trespassers, he will be granted bail by the end of the month, while some present in the Capitol are facing 40 years in Federal prison. There are two justice systems in the US now.
- I am not counting the attempted “abduction” of Governor Whitmer, since a court of law found that the entire plot was planned and fabricated by the FBI as a device to entrap the people involved.
Price Controls
Party of Science
This is why science can’t be trusted. Orange County, Florida’s commission hired a consulting firm to study whether or not putting rent controls in place would be productive. The consulting firm noted that rent controls wouldn’t work, mainly because the supply of rental housing is being overwhelmed by demand. They went on to say that capping rents would further reduce supply. In other words, basic economic theory.
The county government is not happy that the facts didn’t fit their version of reality and are demanding a refund.
“If (commissioners) saw that a consultant who was supposed to do fact-finding on rent stabilization was so biased as to say you’re getting outside attention, then we really should get a refund on this report,” (County Commissioner) Bonilla said. “Unfortunately, it looks like they were not ready to do the job they were hired to do, and they were too biased to provide a report that we deserved.”
