GLOBAL WARMING ALERT!!
Residents and visitors in the South for the Thanksgiving holiday will face the coldest Thanksgiving in years in the wake of recent heavy rain and thunderstorms. The turkey and landscape will be cold Thanksgiving morning with many areas having their lowest temperatures so far this season. A frost and freeze will reach into new territory for the season so far in the Deep South, reaching the Gulf coast and into portions of central Florida. Damn mankind for creating such rain..

Captain Samuel Nicholas formed two battalions of Continental Marines on 10 November 1775, in Philadelphia as naval infantry.[11] Since then, the mission of the Marine Corps has evolved with changing military doctrine and American foreign policy. The Marine Corps has served in every American armed conflict and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II.[12] By the mid-20th century, the Marine Corps had become a major theorist and practitioner of amphibious warfare.[13][14][15] Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.[16]

" What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion?
And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not
warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to
facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a
century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time
with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure."

Here Come The Judge
“The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid
stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming
until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one
designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other
rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for
reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the
courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However
improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is
a mistake a free people get to make only once.”

I prefer the 158 grain BONDED DEFENSE load that'll crank out the tube @ 1400 fps or thereabouts. And I had to replace the standard grips with oversize Hogues because my paws are too big and clumsy for the teensy weensy factory furniture.

Browser Game: The Ways of History: Russian Civ Knockoff
If you enjoy playing glitchy, balky, annoying browser games that hurl popup windows at you every other nanosecond, then Ways of History is for you!
I've been testing this From Russia With Hate offering for the past 4 months and it doesn't deserve a genuine write-up, yeah, it's that poorly done.
But picture yourself wanting to give it a go, then landing smack dab in the middle of a country laden with Russians seething at the froth about losing the Cold War. You're going to be attacked without mercy, and poof, there goes your foray into detente shot to hell and back.
I held it together until the commissars decided to introduce popup windows after each and every mouse click, and that's too bad. Because for a glitchy, balky, annoying browser game, it was a way to pass the time on a boring day.
Free-To-Play as long as you really don't want to win. Then you need to purchase luck coins that can take an hour to arrive even though PayPal has sent you the confirming email 2 minutes after your purchase.

Michelle Obama Says She's A Single Mommy
She's the First Single Lady.
Michelle Obama slipped up and remarked that she's a "busy single mother" before quickly correcting herself in an interview.
The first lady was talking about healthy eating with a reporter in Vermont on Thursday when the topic of balancing work and family came up.
"Believe me, as a busy single mother - or, I shouldn't say single - as a busy mother," the first lady told CBS's Vermont affiliate, WCAX.
As many of the comments offered, Barry does spend far more time learning how to look like an idiot with a golf club than being a father to his children. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't be spending all that much time with Lady Lard either.
And as usual, the Kraken made these statements while speaking about "healthy eating", making it abundantly clear that the White House has no mirrors.

Barry Thinks Constitution Is "Constraining" Him
"...on Wednesday, President Obama took his gun control push a step further:
He admitted that only the Constitution stands between him and full gun
confiscation. Rejecting concerns that new background checks might be a
prelude to gun seizures, Obama suggested that worries about gun seizures
were empty, and were only designed to feed "into fears about
government. You hear some of these folks: 'I need a gun to protect
myself from the government. We can't do background checks because the
government's going to come take my guns away.' The government's us.
These officials are elected by you. ... I am constrained as they are
constrained by the system that our founders put in place."
No, Barry, the government is not "us" The government is you. We the people hire folks to run the day-to-day minutiae of acting important; like setting up tee-times at the golf course, or European vacations that cost millions, but, you see, Barry boy, you and yours are nothing more than well paid hired hands with an outrageous entourage.
And not for nothing, Barry boy, but the Founders made it perfectly clear that the right to keep and bear arms would NOT be constrained. They understood the difference between government and citizens, and wanted the citizens to be able to take up arms against tyranny whenever necessary.
Constrained. Think about that for a minute. Barry feels the Constitution to be constraining.
Perhaps he's confusing his past African constitutions with the American one.

True Patriots Have ALWAYS Understood The Concept Of Common Sense
“Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in our own possession and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
Patrick Henry
Sound familiar? Sound just like what Chuckie Cheese Schumer and his gaggle of moronic Congressional soccer-moms have been spouting, seemingly forever?
Ya think Chuckie's security staff has low-capacity magazines, or must first ask permission to lock and load during a threat? Think they must first fire a warning shot, like national disgrace Joey Boy Biden suggests? Think Barry Soetoro's security people, aka the Secret Service, is limited to 9 or 10 round magazines?
Of course not. After all, royalty has it's privilege.

Obo The Grand Is Excoriated
In what universe is a human being, one called “president of the
United States,” who cannot be trusted to spend other people’s money
wisely – who is held to be rash and irresponsible when pushing
legislation to extend health-insurance coverage – who is regarded as
arrogant and ignorant for his support of greater government regulation
of financial markets – who is accused of being a dangerous social
engineer when he launches schemes to redistribute wealth – who is
exposed as a typical, high-on-hubris, popularity-grabbing politician who
never lets his incomprehension of matters soothe his itch to tax,
spend, and issue diktats all in ways that conservatives correctly
understand to be destructive – in what universe is such a person to be
trusted and saluted as Our Protector and as a paragon of prudence
whenever he turns his attention to deploying military force?
Like conservatives, I look with deep suspicion upon any politician who exercises authority to spend other people’s money, to regulate wages, or to plan a ‘green’ economy. Unlike too many conservatives, however, I look with even deeper suspicion upon any politician who exercises authority to kill.

Germany's Green Energy Fiasco Comes Home To Roost...
Because renewable power sources have been so unreliable, Germany has
been forced to construct numerous new coal plants in an effort to
replace the nuclear energy it has taken offline. In fact the country
will build more coal-fired facilities this year than at any time in the
past two decades — bringing an estimated 5,300 megawatts
of new capacity online. Most of these facilities will burn lignite,
too, which is strip-mined and emits nearly 30 percent more carbon
dioxide than hard coal.
In other words Germany is dirtying the planet in the name of clean energy — and sticking its citizens with an ever-escalating tab so it can subsidize an energy source which will never generate sufficient power.
Now of course Merkle the Turkle is a libtard who did a full frontal kneejerk when the Japanese tidal wave wrecked one of their nuke plants, but doesn't she know that Germany doesn't get all that many tidal waves?
Wind turbines DO NOT WORK as advertised.
Guess not.

LA Cops Go On Shooting Spree...Awaiting The Reaction From Nancy Pelosi
LOS ANGELES — Thousands of police officers throughout Southern
California and neighboring states hunted Thursday for a disgruntled
former Los Angeles officer wanted for going on a deadly shooting rampage
that he warned in an online posting would target those on the force who
wronged him, authorities said.
Police issued a statewide "officer safety warning" and police were sent to protect people named in the posting that was believed to be written by the fired officer, Christopher Dorner, who has military training. Among those mentioned were members of the Los Angeles Police Department.
The hunt for Dorner led to two errant shootings in the pre-dawn darkness Thursday.
Los Angeles officers guarding a "target" named in the posting shot and wounded two women in suburban Torrance who were in a pickup but were not involved, authorities said. It's not clear if the target is a person or a location. Beck said one woman was in stable condition with two gunshot wounds and the other was being released after treatment.
"Tragically we believe this was a case of mistaken identity by the officers," Beck said.
Minutes later Torrance officers responding to a report of gunshots encountered a dark pickup matching the description of Dorner's, said Torrance Sgt. Chris Roosen. A collision occurred and the officers fired on the pickup. The unidentified driver was not hit and it turned out not to be the suspect vehicle, Roosen said.
"We're asking our officers to be extraordinarily cautious just as we're asking the public to be extraordinarily cautious with this guy. He's already demonstrated he has a propensity for shooting innocent people," said Smith, the LAPD commander.
Just for a moment try to envision the response you'd get after shooting innocent people because they happened to be driving a vehicle resembling someone on a wanted list. Whoops, sorry about those bullet holes, just a case of mistaken identity, and what's an "errant" round or two between friends?
Teaching cops when, where, and how to shoot is really the only form of gun control needed. But they, you see, are the ones trusted to own and carry virtually any firearm in existence because their little boys club would otherwise pout if denied the right to shoot more innocent people than criminals.

Women May Soon Be Drafted
Females may be included in the Selective Service and qualify for a
potential draft should one be ordered by the president, Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta said.
The U.S. military’s civilian leader lamented that he didn’t know who ran the Selective Service, but whoever does will “have to exercise some judgment based on what we just did,” Panetta said at a Pentagon press conference Thursday.
On Thursday, Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lifted the official ban on women serving in combat roles, removing gender barriers from jobs in the military.
There's a reason why women have their own sporting venues. Simply put, they cannot compete with men.
War isn't tennis or golf, and to dilute the combat efficiency of an all-male unit is nothing short of criminal.
Besides the fact that not one free nation in the world uses women in combat roles. A lot of this ludicrous hubbub began back when some Israeli gals from the steno pool hopped on a passing tank after the 3-day war, and a myth was born.
Draft them? Sure. Every unit could use some extra clerk-typists. But you all know what will really happen, now don't you. The standards will be lowered. As usual. Real life isn't some Hollywood war flick where oh so tough gals not only keep pace with but often exceed what their male counterparts are capable of.
Pardon my Fwench but bullshit. They are slower, weaker, and far more prone to become over emotional, and over emotional in combat means they'll get someone else killed and it isn't going to be the enemy. And forget the fact of what the moose-limbs do to the women they own. Be prepared for a video of Sally Soldier being tortured, raped, then beheaded.
Just another reason to despise the Obo administration.

Iranian Nuke Facility Goes BOOM
An explosion deep within Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility has destroyed
much of the installation and trapped about 240 personnel deep
underground, according to a former intelligence officer of the Islamic
regime.
According to a source in the security forces protecting Fordow, an
explosion on Monday at 11:30 a.m. Tehran time rocked the site, which is
buried deep under a mountain and immune not only to airstrikes but to
most bunker-buster bombs. The report of the blast came via Hamidreza
Zakeri, formerly with the Islamic regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and
National Security.
The blast shook facilities within a radius of three miles. Security forces have enforced a no-traffic radius of 15 miles, and the Tehran-Qom highway was shut down for several hours after the blast, the source said. As of Wednesday afternoon, rescue workers had failed to reach the trapped personnel.

Gun Control
Even the most simple of dullards has to realize that law abiding folks don't do UN-law-abiding things with any degree of regularity, but then again liberals are a species far beneath the dullard line. But if the Obama administration has been good for one thing it's been to lower the bar and "WE TOLD YOU SO".
They are coming for our guns. And this time they might get them.

RIP Stan The Man
Stan Musial, the St. Louis Cardinals star with the corkscrew stance and too many batting records to fit on his Hall of Fame plaque, died Saturday. He was 92.
Most of Stan's glory days happened before my birth or memory, but our Dad's raved about him which was unusual for an out of town player.
If Pete Rose hadn't perfected the swinging bunt, Musial would still be in the top 3 of real players who could hit a ton and then some. Musial's 3630 hits place him just behind Hank Aaron, two seasons behind Ty Cobb, and real men watched the game of baseball to see the bat being swung not pushed as if by a street cleaner's brush.

Arms In Battle: The Gatling
Witnessing the assault on San Juan Hill, Col. Roosevelt decided to cross
the steep ravine from Kettle Hill to San Juan Hill to support the
fighting still going on there. Calling for his men to follow him, he ran
forward, only to find just five of the Rough Riders following him (most
had not heard his command). Roosevelt returned and gathered together a
larger group of his men, leading them down the western slope of Kettle
Hill, past a small lagoon, and up the northern extension of San Juan
Hill, but the fighting was over for the top of the heights. General
Summer intercepted Roosevelt and ordered him back to Kettle Hill
immediately to prepare for the expected counterattack. When he returned
his men were exhausted and his horse was again spent from the heat. A
counterattack directed at Kettle Hill by some 600 Spanish infantry was
stopped primarily by the fire of a single ten-barreled .30 Gatling Gun
manned by Sergeant Green of the Gatling Gun Detachment, which (according
to Spanish officers captured after the attack) killed or wounded all
but 40 of the Spanish attackers.[18]
You read that right. Five hundred and sixty men mowed down by a single Gatling Gun isn't anything I'd normally take as gospel, but there's enough eye witness evidence to prove it. We really didn't have the rifles to compete with the Spaniards, but the Gatling's struck fear into them and well it should have.

If I Had A Hammerrrr, I'd Kill More People Than Guns Do...If I Had A...
This is an interesting fact, particularly amid the Democrats'
feverish push to ban many different rifles, ostensibly to keep us safe
of course.
However, it appears the zeal of Sens. like Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) is misdirected. For in looking at the FBI numbers from 2005 to 2011, the number of murders by hammers and clubs consistently exceeds the number of murders committed with a rifle.
Think about it: In 2005, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618.
And so the list goes, with the actual numbers changing somewhat from year to year, yet the fact that more people are killed with blunt objects each year remains constant.
For example, in 2011, there was 323 murders committed with a rifle but 496 murders committed with hammers and clubs.
Another interesting fact: According to the FBI, nearly twice as many people are killed by hands and fists each year than are killed by murderers who use rifles.
The bottom line: A rifle ban is as illogical as it is unconstitutional. We face far greater danger from individuals armed with carpenters' tools and a caveman's stick.
And it seems fairly obvious that if more people had a gun, less people would be inclined to try to hit them in the head with a hammer.
I knew it I knew it I FRICKING knew it. High time to arrest Chuck Norris and alla them home improvement douchebags who cause far more fatalities than my firearms.

Message From J&G Sales...
Dear J&G Customer,
Today we wanted to send out a short notice about the current situation in the gun industry.
Today we wanted to send out a short notice about the current situation in the gun industry.
Most of you have heard of the panic buying that has been occurring since proposed gun control legislation has been discussed daily on the news. We wanted to try to keep our customers informed of what we see going on from our end, both bad and good.
First the BAD:
1. There are extensive shortages of several key items. Products that may be banned are often no longer in stock, such as mags over 10rds for AR-15, AK-47, popular pistols, and ammo in key calibers. The urge to stock up on these items continues to be very strong and we are unsure what supply will be like in the future. Manufacturers may not be able to keep up, some stating that future supplies will be limited for quite some time, especially on AR and AK rifles and magazines.
2. Prices are going up. This is a fact of life during shortages due to increased demand and short supply. If you browse gun auction websites you will see the value of items climbing daily. Luckily most of the prices at J&G Sales have not changed and remain stable, although some items have increased, or will soon. The increased prices are due to several factors, including:
A. Suppliers who have increased our costs when we order replacement stock.
B.
Suppliers no longer importing or producing certain items at all, making
what is currently available no longer replaceable and increasing its
value.
C.
Some price increases to allow items to be available to more people over
a longer period, preventing a few resellers from buying everything.
Now the GOOD:1. Many suppliers are ramping up production to try to get product to the dealers to restock as soon as possible. We are expecting AR-15 mags to continue coming in, as well as handgun mags, and ammo. Shipments will probably be smaller than previously, as manufacturers try to spread around the supply and not ship it all to only one or two dealers. Gun production is more difficult to increase, and many manufacturers were already running close to full capacity before the rush. We do expect more domestically produced guns, although AR style rifles will probably be available only in small batches. Unfortunately, we do not expect a steady supply of AK style rifles for some time.
2. Prices seem to be stabilizing a bit, although they will continue to be extremely volatile depending on the details of new legislation, and on continued word from manufacturers regarding future availability.
In summary, we hope these times will pass and enough government representatives will remember their oaths of office and keep our freedom intact. We at J&G plan to stick it out for the long haul and continue to supply our customers into the future. We pledge to you that we will not cave to outside societal pressure and will stay loyal to you and continue selling lawful items to law abiding citizens.
I still do all of my purchases from J&G, as they are top notch and super reliable. Yes, I've added to my collection of Curio & Relics, but just don't believe it is the right time to be giving potential villains thieves and scoundrels the impetus to come a'knocking'.
INTENDED Consequences...
Johnny the hardware boy can now be replaced by Juan who'll settle for pennies on the dollar. Then of course send his paycheck to parts unknown instead of pumping the cash back into our economy.
BLOOD RUNNING IN THE STREETS!!! Ummmmm...
Gunshine State Tops A Million Packers
Officials in Florida expected that the total number of Sunshine State concealed carry permit holders would exceed one million by the end of 2012.
Doubling since 2007, the number of concealed weapons license holders will top 5 percent of Florida’s 19.1 million residents in a state that is number one nationally in licenses issued, the News Service of Florida reported. Florida has been licensing concealed weapons since 1987, when state officials took over authority from counties that had a patchwork of requirements regarding who could carry and what was needed to qualify for a license.
Clearly it is a popular law and has been taken advantage of by a large number of Floridians who have acted responsibly, said Adam Putnam, commissioner of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the agency which oversees the state¹s concealed carry program.
Floridians who are obtaining these licenses are obtaining them for the right reason and are using them in an appropriate way.
At least one million...far too many forget to re-register...and not one criminal act committed. Except for forgetting to re-register.
Does your state have at least 5% of it's male population ready to step in when necessary to stop the slaughter?
If not, then get a CCW and convince your friends to as well. I know that a lot of people don't like asking for a permission slip to exercise a Constitutional right, but we have to continue showing the anti's that we're more law abiding than the average bear.
