Coming into spring/summer, one of my normal activities annually, is to re-set gear layouts. Someone asked me the other day, “How would you pack a 72 hour pack, versus a week-long or 10-day pack?” As a guy who grew up with a Regimental SOP for the layout of rucksack and load-bearing equipment, even after I left the Ranger Regiment, I always stuck with the idea that, my BASIC LOAD, absent mission-specific and team gear, was the same, whether I was doing an assault that was projected to last 72 hours or less, or a long-term mission that required me to be in the field for weeks or months at a time, was the same. Outside of quantities in munitions, water, and food, the equipment requirements are fundamentally the same, whether I’m going to be out for 1 night, 10 nights, or 100 nights.

Granted, if I can look at the…

The Rule of Whim | The Zelman Partisans

Posted: April 6, 2019 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized

I warned you. More than three years ago, I warned you.

Today, Chief Justice Roberts denied a motion to stay the bump-fire ban rule pending a final ruling by the courts. If you possess a bump stock, you are now a felon.

When Trump announced his intent to ban bump-fire stocks, Kool-Aid swigging idiots laughed it off. Nah; he’s posturing for the press.

When he sent his memo directing DOJ to begin crafting the rule, it was, Nah, they’ll ‘research’ it and ‘decide’ it isn’t called for.

When the ATF published the ANPRM, morons said, Nah; it’s a trick. They’ll take comments and ‘decide’ it’s unjustified, but Trump still gets to pretend he tried.

When the NPRM came out… rinse, lather, repeat.

When the final rule was published, the sandy-eyed ostriches declared, Don’t worry. Trump is a four-dimensional chess master; he knows the courts will overturn it. He’s gaming the system.

As the ban deadline approached without a favorable ruling from any court, the bird-brains nervously added, Um… the courts will temporarily stay the ban. Right?

When stays were issued on appeal, for the named plaintiffs ONLY, some folks optimisticallythought that was a blanket stay, and sighed in relief. It wasn’t.

When Guedes et al was appealed to the Supreme Court, the Pollyannas were sure they’d issue the stay, or at least remand back to the lower court to do so.

So here we are. I was never terribly hopeful about this because I lost faith in the courts a long time ago.

But… we are screwed.”

West World: How Hollywood Misrepresents the Old West to Make Money & Advance Gun Control

“Hollywood has a clever way of distorting our perspective on history, and a great example of this is Western film – a movie genre we’ve all come to love. Cattle rustlers, guns blazing, outlaws running loose, and vigilantes dishing out vengeance indiscriminately. These scenes have become more synonymous with the American Frontier than Winchester and their “Cartridge That Won the West.” But these fictional tales have produced more than entertainment for over a century; they’ve also contributed to an ongoing, subtle push for gun control, all while making Hollywood millions.

Revisionist history books tell us that the “Wild West” was an anarchic period of time that was not conducive to human prosperity. Images of a Hobbesian nightmare – a life that is brutish and short – are ingrained in our consciousness thanks to decades of public schooling and violent images on the silver screen which are light on actual history and heavy on creative license.

However, individuals who believe in liberty and developing their critical thinking faculties should be skeptical of most mainstream narratives regarding history”

“Civil War Two is rapidly emerging as an inevitable reality, given that deranged Leftists have now convincingly demonstrated they cannot coexist with anyone else in a civil society. Left-wing operatives (lawmakers, fake news journo-terrorists and deep state actors) are lawless liars, frauds, hoaxers and destroyers of civilization. They steal elections, push fake news narratives, brainwash the public with deliberate lies and indoctrinate children with hatred for their own country. They are pedophiles, child traffickers, charlatans and tyrants. The Left, as I’ve said before, is a “suicide cult,” and they will not stop until they have criminalized, marginalized or mass murdered everyone who opposes their authoritarian rule. (Face it: Two years ago you wouldn’t have believed this, but now you know it’s true.)

As deranged and dangerous as Leftists have become, stopping them in a civil war scenario is tactically simpler than you might suppose, our analysis finds. That’s because Leftists are concentrated in cities, and every city is a death trap that depends on outside supply lines for its continued existence. To defeat the anti-American Leftist forces, pro-America forces don’t even have to enter the cities. They would only need to cut off the cities from rural America, which is where all the resources come from that keep cities alive.

DISCLAIMER #1: This article is an analysis of events that seem likely to occur. This analysis should in no way be interpreted as an advocacy of any actions of violence or sabotage against anyone. We hope for peace and pray that a second civil war in America can be averted. Yet we also realize that the deranged Left will stop at nothing and is incessantly pushing us all toward conflict. This article is an analysis of how that may unfold if it is not stopped beforehand.

Stated plainly, rural America is where all the water comes from… it’s where the food is grown, the electricity is transported and the city sewage is dumped. Yet cities, run by delusional Leftists, seek to nullify the political power of rural America and rule over real America as authoritarian tyrants. This can only happen if rural America continues to supply cities with the resources they need to function. That consent will likely be revoked in due course.”

Get to the bottom of the question how Russiagate started and it will be like turning over a big rock and seeing what slithers out. From Peter Van Buren at wemeantwell.com:

The end of the Special Counsel’s investigation into the non-existent conspiracy between Trump and the Russians has created an army of “Mueller Truthers,” demanding additional investigations. But Republicans are also demanding to know more, specifically how the FBI came to look into collusion, and what that tells us about the tension between America’s political and intelligence worlds. In Rudy Giuliani’s words “Why did this ever start in the first place?”

The primordial ooze for all things Russia began in spring 2016 when the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, through a company called Fusion GPS, hired former MI6 intelligence agent Christopher Steele to compile a report (“the dossier”) on whatever ties to Russia he could find for Donald…

If you’re interviewed by the FBI and your statements don’t align with what the FBI agents recall about your conversation, you could find yourself in jail. From James Bovard at lewrockwell.com:

Edit note: This article was written in November before Special Counsel Mueller completed his investigation of alleged Russian collusion. We haven’t seen the full text of the Mueller report yet but I am wagering that it will not require rescinding this article.

“Truth isn’t truth,” declared Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s personal attorney, on Meet the Press last August. Giuliani’s comment was the “Trump era’s epitaph,” according to a Washington Post columnist. But truth really is defined differently inside the Beltway — when it is not in total hiding.

Trump could face a “perjury trap” from Special Counsel Robert Mueller because of the unique way that the FBI defines reality — and the truth. The FBI rarely records interviews…

April is Confederate history and heritage month. How many Southerners are even aware of that. How many even care? Admittedly, the news media will give this no coverage, but if they did, how many would care or even take note?

Just last evening (April 1st) I read an article on The Abbeville Blog written by Lee Congleton. It was not a long article, but the author said what he needed to say very succinctly in a few words. He noted the stealthy attack and removal of our war memorials and asked the question “…but that’s the intent of the left isn’t it? Do it quietly but totally.” He labeled those who do this The American Taliban and he observed how effortlessly they pull down and remove our sacred monuments, the remembrances of our culture, heritage and history, just…
