I’m not as positive as he is.  But it’s Matt Bracken, and he’s always worth listening to.  I do share his disgust with the GOP establishment.

The soul of the democratic party is wickedness.  The GOP simply lacks a soul.  They’re just absent of everything except self-serving laziness.  They believe in nothing.

The Anti-Trump Coup

The AP called Michigan for Bidden.

Of course, there is the issue of the “hockey stick” in vote count that no one is stupid enough to believe.

Then there is the fact that Project Veritas has exposed fraud in Michigan.

[TRAVERSE CITY, MICH.—Nov. 4, 2020] An U.S. Postal Service Insider told Project Veritas founder and CEO James O’Keefe his supervisor instructed mail carriers at his work site here that all new ballot envelopes should be segregated in bins, so that postal clerks could fraudulently hand-postmark them as received Nov. 3.

Then Wisconsin has its own hockey stick vote count that no one is stupid enough to believe.

Not to be outdone by the corrupt bastards in Michigan and Wisconsin, Arizona has its own nefarious behavior.  To compound sin on top of sin, they gave sharpie markers to voters to use on ballots, and then threw the ballots out for use of sharpie pens.

My prediction: good men and women work jobs, raise families, go to worship and live their lives from the perspective of non-interference with others.  Until this changes and good men and women take up positions in local and state governments, wickedness will reign.  Trump loses this war.

The problem isn’t the democrats.  The problem isn’t corrupt politicians.  The problem isn’t the deep state.  The problem is that while the great commission says to make disciples in all arenas of life, good men and women have sat and done little to nothing to make that come to pass in the academy, politics, the arts, science and the public square.

Where there is a vacuum of righteousness, wickedness will swoop in and occupy.

News from Kenosha.

The public now has access to newly released records that show Kenosha District Attorney, Michael Graveley texting with Whitney Cabal, AKA Billy Violent, a violence-inciting Black Lives Matter activist.

In the weird exchange, both text back and forth over the span of nearly 6 weeks, sometimes after 10:00pm.

In the many messages, it seems like Graveley is giving Cabal updates on the WI DOJ investigation into the Kenosha Police shooting of Jacob Blake and taking advice on how to handle the Kenosha riots.

In one message, Cabal warns Graveley that “KPD is gonna burn out.”

In another message, the two seem to make breakfast plans. It should be noted that Graveley is married.

This exchange is a very bizarre one, especially for Kenosha County’s top prosecutor.

Similar to the Portland DA, Mike Schmidt, who is aligned with Antifa, Graveley is a tool for BLM.

This is weaponized government, and it’s why the democrats are so good at it.  They believe in spending time and effort to control other men, whereas real men and women just go to work, raise families, go to worship, and live life.

It will be this way until God-fearing men and women get involved in local and state politics again and do it with righteousness instead of wickedness.

And Kyle Rittenhouse, while innocent, will not be able to get a fair trial in this location (or maybe any location).

“If we look back to the riots and tumults, which at various times have happened in England, we shall find, that they did not proceed from the want of a government, but that government was itself the generating cause; instead of consolidating society it divided it; it deprived it of its natural cohesion, and engendered discontents and disorders, which otherwise would not have existed.” – Thomas Paine

Tomorrow (maybe today when you read this) is election day.

I know how my readers feel, at least the ones who comment.  I won’t tell you what to do.  You wouldn’t listen anyway, not that you should.

My own philosophy is that I don’t have Grover Cleveland or Calvin Coolidge to vote for.  They aren’t on the ballot.  The obviously small government, non-interventionist, closed border candidate won’t be named on the paper in front of me.  That’s not my fault.

I will vote.  I consider that my duty.  I will vote how my conscience dictates.  I will not vote for self-proclaimed communists, regardless of how much I dislike some of the infringements on the other side.

I can do nothing more, and nothing less, with what I’ve been given.  My station in life dictates how much authority and power I have.  I’m satisfied with what God has given me.  I will neither ask nor demand any more than what I’ve been given.  The rest is in His hands.

This is a simple post.  I am a simple man.

See you on the other side men.

News from NY.

ILION — Following complaints by the union as well as U.S. Rep. Anthony Brindisi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, investigators from the National Labor Relations Board  launched a probe into the outgoing owners of Remington Arms, which laid off nearly 600 employees ahead of selling the 206-year-old firearms plant in a bankruptcy proceeding.

United Mine Workers of America, Local 717, has complained of what they say are unfair labor practices when the company in October laid off 585 employees without severance pay or continuing health care coverage, which the union says is in their labor contract.

“Our career experts in region 3, Buffalo, have begun an investigation,” NLRB Congressional Liaison Kevin Petroccione wrote in an email on Monday.

One of the allegations contends that “Within the previous six months, the Employer unlawfully dominated or controlled the operations of a labor organization,” and the “the Employer failed and refused to recognize the union as the collective bargaining representative of its employees.”

In a better world, Remington’s previous management would not have sold out to Cerberus Capital, “financial engineers” who had no intention other than to fleece all capital out of the company and leave it in shambles.  Good men don’t do that to a company, no matter how much they are paid to do it, no matter how many homes on the beach and in the mountains they are promised.

In a better world, workers would not be in a collective bargaining agreement anywhere, because that means there is no right to work by other men who need to feed their families.  They are blocked.  They cannot cross the line into the plants.  There is no competition between men.  The competition is between companies, and Remington got destroyed by that.

This is all a failure to live life by Biblical principles, whether on the part of the management or the workers, or both.  In the mean time, quality went down, innovation stopped, design ideas stayed on the drawing board or never even made it that far, and men simply worked their shift while the management got rich.

How sad for everyone.

This link at Insty drove me to read the comments.  One in particular by someone named Doctormhl1 states the following.

Face masks offer insufficient protection against Covid-19.infection. It has been demonstrated that the virus can enter the conjunctiva of the eye. Once on the conjunctiva, tears wash the virus into the back of the nasopharynx via the nasal-lacrimal duct. Thus eye protection in the form of tight-fitting goggles is also a necessary requirement. Eyeglasses and facial shields are also inadequate protection because they fail to completely seal off the eyes.

Why has Dr. Fauci failed to warn about proper eye protection in the prevention of Covid-19 infection?

Well, that’s just another means for viruses to enter the human body.  We can’t stop it, whatever it is, and however effective it is against the human body.  We may as well drive through it.  I’ve said that from the beginning.

I’ve already discussed this in detail.  Filters work (primarily) in one of two ways.  (1) particle interception because the filter fibers are closer together than the particle diameter, or (2) electrostatic capture.

The virus is smaller than the distance between the two fibers.  Next, the virus in question (SARS-CoV-2) is non-polar.  You may as well try to capture a mosquito with a chain link fence.

So this doctor’s pathway is just another reason to listen to what I’ve said before.  In order to be effective, you would have to wear an OSHA-approved, fit tested full face respirator, including both a HEPA filter and a charcoal filter.  The HEPA may be good for viruses contained within water droplets (until evaporation by the air stream), but the charcoal is the only real chance of particle interception.

Anything else is a sham.  Anything else is a hoax.  I’ve also told you what I would find necessary to believe that anything else would be a successful strategy: full testing and calculations (to develop models) performed by physicists and engineers, assessing particle sizes and their distribution, filters and their efficiency, retention time, an assessment using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to assess the diminution of effectiveness due to air flow versus face velocity and benchmarking against empirical data, and full disclosure of mathematical and physics models for public review.

No.  Not by doctors and epidemiologists.  They know nothing about this sort of thing.  By engineers and physicists.

To date, no one has proposed anything even approaching this level of analysis, much less actually done it.

I stand by everything I’ve said.  And by the way, I don’t wear masks.

This is perhaps an even more dangerous situation than being in an automobile and being attacked by these monkeys.

In my opinion what occurs in this video is assault and battery, and warrants the use of deadly force to stop.

The problem, of course, is that the police would come after you, not the perpetrators.  The police know it, the monkeys perpetrating the violence know it, and you know it.  No one cares about your loved ones or your safety except you.

Therefore, staying away from these people – or if you find yourself in the middle of something like this, getting away as fast as possible – is the best option.

The problem with this video, other than the fact that it outright promotes communism because Kamala Harris is a communist, is that she uses the word “compete.”  There is no compete if everyone ends up at the same place.

But consistency has never been a strong suit of the controllers.

Will that time ever come?  Should it even come?

Lever guns have (thankfully) become increasingly popular of late.  Don’t get me wrong – as readers know my favorite gun is the Stoner pattern rifle.  But there’s just something about a lever action gun that makes me want to get it, from the aspect of fun, to the utility of having a carbine and a wheel gun in the same caliber, with the rifle putting that extra zip on it.

TFB published this video about ten months ago (that I embedded before), but it’s worth watching again.

Then this very recent video by Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner (“Are Lever Action Rifles Reliable?), the latest in his series on lever guns, explains a lot of reasons why it can be a temperamental gun to own and operate.  So be aware of what you’re purchasing.
