So they propose possibly using the military to enforce their gun control plans. What could go wrong? Maybe Virginia Governor Ralph Northam could consult with Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage to get some pointers on that. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/the-law-is-the-law-virginia-democrats-float-prosecution-national-guard-deployment-if-police-dont-enforce-gun-control

One of my favorite movie scenes telling one of Christ's most powerful parables. James Farentino is excellent as Peter.

God's healing and blessings.

Always choose the lesser of two weevils.

Illinois went from purple to blue blue in 20 years and now will tee up draconian gun control laws once they finish with all the across the board tax increases. So I feel for Virginia - lots of years I thought we could win the vote - that people would see how crazy things were and vote the politicians out - but like California it just got worse and worse. I finally realized that I could keep fighting it but it would never win - Chicago runs the state - like LA and San Fran run California and New York City runs New York. I still fight while I'm here and always will, but no more false hope. The USSC is the only hope for Illinois, NY, and California and they haven't done anything in 10 years since MacDonald.

Moon landing was at 3:18pm CDT and the first step on the moon 9:56pm. I was 9 years old and watched the first step on the moon it was in a crowded room with lots of family at an aunt's and uncle's house. I remember it was dark out, hot no air conditioning, I was sweating, and it seemed like we could do anything. I liked Carter at the time, didn't like Reagan at the time, that changed after college when I started work full time, got a place, and paid utilities. Then I didn't like Carter and liked Reagan. Somewhere along the line, though I have always opposed racism and sexism and supported equal opportunity for all, I became evil, sexist, racist, deplorable, and hateful - my views haven't changed since then but the world has - and believing in individual rights and individual responsibility and not identity politics and socialism is wrong, or so I am told. I miss a country where people were not ashamed or afraid to be openly proud of America. Where people could go to church and share their faith without being mocked or ridiculed. Where families where valued. Where work and service were honored. Where being a good husband or wife, mother or father was more important than lots of money or fame. Where people took pride in their jobs and accepted that with freedom comes responsibility. Where if as an individual or as a nation we failed at something then we worked harder to do better. Where our heroes were heroes not anti-heroes. Somehow the world seems darker and more pessimistic now. Maybe the enemies were clearer - fascism, communism, racism, sexism, pollution. The world seems upside down.

So a video for people who want to see Mo Allie cats.

Looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree with Lena.

A Møøse once bit my sister… No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge — her brother-in-law — an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink.”

Thought the opening few seconds were real.

This is a thread I had found years ago (made in 2012 I believe) about the making of an AK47 out of a shovel. I found it very funny with some slightly salty language. In my head the words play out in a bad russian accent. But it is a rather remarkable achievement with basic tools. Also love the cat. https://www.northeastshooters.com/xen/threads/diy-shovel-ak-photo-tsunami-warning.179192/
