If you don’t buy at least one firearm with
your stimulus check, you’re a commie.
Can we get an Amen?

My summation of this whole thing
We don't know anything, and as soon as we
figure out we don't know anything, then we will know something.
Flying cars in three years?
From Breaking Defense
Will Roper, in charge of Air
Force acquisitions, sees flying cars “using electric takeoff and landing (eVTOL)
technology could be in full-up production for the Air Force … within three
years.”
The Air Force has a name for
its eVTOL program: Agility Prime. The service is working with commercial companies
already involved in developing flying cars.
“The
Agility Prime program will
hold a ‘virtual launch event’ April 27 to allow
vendors to showcase their capabilities and interact with potential investors
from both the private sector and the military, the Air Force Life Cycle
Management Center (AFLCMC) announced earlier this week.”
"Mark my word: a combination airplane and motorcar is
coming. You may smile, but it will come.” – Henry Ford, 1940.
The flying car conception has been around since the
beginning of aviation and automobile industries. The period immediately after
World War II was filled with ideas of taking a car from its garage, unfolding
the wings, starting up and flying off to work.
Fans of flying cars have not developed assurances of safe
flying; of mechanical abilities of the average driver; of hundreds, if not
thousands, of flying cars in the air.
Landing on my street in a few years? I hope not.

No Reds, thank you
“Do you remember what Vladimir Putin said -
whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. I would add that whoever
wants it back has no brain.” – Aslan Bzhania, president-elect of Abkhazia.
Blood-covered man says he killed the terminator
Police claim the body found
in his apartment was not a terminator.
Arrested and taken to a hospital,
William Bradley then “assaulted an
ER doctor, two security guards, and an SLCPD officer.”

Gun-grabbers surprised at laws they put in force
“An employee
of a Florida Gun Shop called me last week to let us know that a very liberal
customer was quite angry that he could not pick out a gun, pay for it and walk
out of the store with it. This is the story he shared in pretty much his
own words:
“’After filling out the 4473 Form, and showing his
drivers license, the customer was annoyed that he had to go through a
background check. He angrily questioned, “Don’t you know who I am?”
(He is a City Commissioner) When I told him it didn’t matter, he said it was a
waste of resources to do background checks on law-abiding people and said the
law obviously “needed exceptions.”
“He got more angry that the background check took
almost 20 minutes, and said, ‘there is no excuse for it to take this long.’
Once he cleared the background check and paid for the handgun, he about blew a
gasket when he found out that he had to wait 3 days and come back before being
allowed to take possession of the handgun and walk out with it.
“He DEMANDED to know ‘Why can’t I take it now? I
need it now.’ He was not happy to hear that it was the LAW. He then
explained, ‘I hate guns and I have supported gun control in the past but this
is damned ridiculous. When you need a gun you should be able to get it.’
“He then stormed out of the gun shop.”
And in California:
“More than a
dozen of these buyers (men and women) actually thought that since they filled
out and signed everything, they could just walk out and go home with the
firearm. Several actually said they saw how easy it was to buy a gun on TV and why
did they have to fill out all these forms.
“The majority of these first timers lost their
minds when we went through the Ammo Law requirements. Most used language not
normally heard, even in a gun range. We pointed out that since no one working
here voted for these laws, then maybe they might know someone who did. And,
maybe they should go back and talk to those people and tell them to re-think
their position on firearms – we were trying to be nice.
“Most were VERY vocal about why it takes 10 days
minimum (sometimes longer if the DOJ is backed up) to take their property home
with them. They ask why do I need to wait 10 days if I need the protection
today or tomorrow? We pointed out again that no one working here voted in
support of that law.”
Standing between the Russians and the Germans
“The diocese of Vilkaviškis
suffered greatly during World War II. People suffered a terrible terror during the first Soviet occupation, and
the torture of priests in the Budavone forest near Vilkaviškis was particularly
brutal. The Nazi occupation returned few rights to the Catholic
Church. She was severely persecuted, but was not frightened. When. Mykolas Krupavičius signed a memorandum against Nazi colonial
policy and immediately in 1942. Nazis deported to Germany. Imprisoned, interned. Priests and lay believers rescued Jews, urging young people
not to join the Nazi army. At the end of the war, when the front stopped for a long time
near the German border, 32 churches were completely destroyed or demolished, 12
of which were successfully rebuilt shortly after the war. As the second Soviet occupation approached, about 100 priests moved to the
West, including Bishop Vincentas Padolskis, Bishop of Vilkaviškis. Of the remaining, about 70 were imprisoned and deported, and some were
killed. The Soviet government closed the Vilkaviškis seminary, 12
churches and abolished the respective parishes. The painful blow to the diocese was the closure of the monasteries that
were quite active in it, the registration of parishes by entrusting their
administration to so-called committees in order to control them as much as
possible, reducing the influence of the priests. The teaching of religion in schools was banned, the catechesis of children
was restricted, and atheism was forcibly crushed* - there was a struggle against
the faith and Christian values that had existed in people for centuries. The second Soviet occupation destroyed everything until 1940. established order: political pluralism, freedom of religion, private
property, etc. Hatred of the Catholic Church was particularly pronounced.”
