Cultural appropriation

Strange that the author didn’t note that Jim Crow laws were rooted in depriving negroes their 2nd Amendment rights.

“Long live the Queen!”

True story:

In 1963 I was in a bar on the strip in Charleston, S.C. and a Brit destroyer was in port, ‘visiting.’

We and the Brits were chumming with each other. Then one American shouted, “Eff the Queen!”

I went silent and was waiting for the brawl to start until one Brit shouted, in his very Brit accent, “You cont get neah the bloody bitch!”

The rationale to arm oneself is not rooted in racism. But racism is at the very heart of gun control.

“I got rid of my last CRT early in 2020; all three televisions in my home are flat-screen now. (FYI, it’s 9 AM and they’re all turned off, which is their best-case condition.)”

Watching music videos on my flat screen. The Petersens right now. Just discovered them.

Well, Carol, I don’t know if you really are that stupid, or if this poison is born of malice. Either way, there are five things you should do.

1. Shut up.
2. Shut up.
3. Shut up.
4. Shut up.
5. Really, really shut up, hard, completely, right to your dying breath.
