ATLANTA (AP) — Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation Tuesday that makes additional changes to Georgia's election laws ahead of the 2024 presidential contest in the battleground state, including defining probable causes for removing voters from the rolls when their eligibility is challenged. Republican activists — fueled by debunked theories of a stolen election — have challenged more than 100,000 voters in the state in recent years. The activists say they are rooting out duplicate records and removing voters who have moved out of state.

[VANITY] - Recently there have been a number of posts with lots of comments about the potentiality, plausibility, probability, impact and response to a domestic terror attack, likely perpetrated by members of the R3ligion of P3ace, assisted by other well-funded state-sponsored enablers who have recently flowed across our open southern border (read CHINESE). The purpose of this post is twofold: (1) to refer you to a short, compelling, spot-on novella about a domestic terror attack and the local response. It's chilling and sadly even more plausible given recent events and national circumstances. If you have children or grandchildren in school...

USN Special Warfare Captain (Ret) Hung Cao is running for Senate in VA. Great ad. Worth your time as he sets the stage as a refugee from Viet Nam and his love for America - along with his grave concerns about the looming loss of freedoms. This is not an excerpt or a quote because the link has no text - just the video.

INTRO: this document quotes a former DNI (someone who would know) pointing out how extraordinarily unlikely it is an Airman 1st in IT could obtain this leaked information on his own. Author makes a good case he was fed the docs. Presuming these docs were only available in a SCIF and required access to the SIPRNET, I find the author's closing sentence(s) to be spot on -- "It will be interesting to see what is found on print logs, and security video, and file transfer logs. " SCIF/SIPRNET logs don't lie. but people do. Excerpt follows. "Despite working in information...

COBB COUNTY, Ga. - What was supposed to be a fun opening weekend for Six Flags Over Georgia turned violent after a string of fights broke out inside the park. FOX 5 has learned a large group of teens were removed from the park Saturday night after multiple brawls. According to the park, several groups of young people got into fights in more than one area of the theme park. "Their actions disrupted the park experience for our guests and violated our park policies; as a result, those involved were removed from the property," officials with Six Flags Over Georgia...

I am posting this article, which isn't new news in order to illustrate two important facts: (1) the USAF and USSF have the means to both intercept telemetry from foreign intelligence assets AND the ability to stop said assets from 'phoning home.' (2) despite the junk news and pontificating by 'media experts' I am confident our military took the steps necessary to protect our nation. In my professional life I work closely with USAF and USSF personnel and despite idiocy from political leadership, I know the Commands, Airmen and Guardians who work in the area of 'intel' are skilled and...

In order to improve real-world firearm accessibility primarily in-vehicle and also 'dismounted,' I seek to acquire a decent quality, maybe even leather, shoulder holster rig for my full frame SIG p220. I also want it to have the 2-mag pouch on the other side for well, extra mags AND to balance the weight of a loaded P220, which is non-trivial. It needs to have the straps that secure the rig to one's belt, as I have tried other holsters without them that just don't work for my heavy SIGs. They do work just fine for my much smaller XDS. I...

Re-posting in compliance with FR rules (we regret the error) Last time I posted with the title lifted from the URL as opposed to the Daily Mail's posted article, which is QUITE long. Got busted. Excerpt follows: "The teenage gunman who killed two people and injured seven others at a school in St. Louis has been named as a former student, it was revealed tonight. Orlando Harris, 19, was dressed entirely in black when he entered his former high school on Monday morning - shooting dead a female teacher and a teenage girl before being killed by police. He burst...

Laughable article from the Associated Press, trying to sell the idea that GOP (i.e. conservatives) are reluctant to vote. Oh please, here in GA the Reds have shown record turnout in early voting. The fact people didn't respond enthusiastically to Kelly Loeffler and crew is NOT any indication of low energy. MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — On a crisp fall morning, eager volunteers fanned out in the leafy suburban Atlanta neighborhood to knock on doors, trying to persuade reluctant and skeptical conservatives to register to vote in next month's midterm elections. It’s painstaking work anywhere, but especially pivotal in battleground Georgia,...

Events happened in Gwinnett County GA. The non-BIPOC kid murdered was a local HS football star out with friends at Dave and Busters, after leaving his session with his personal trainer. The personal trainer worked with my daughter on strength and speed, prior to her NCAA trophy-winning stint in ACTUAL womens' swimming.

The article is nothing new, BUT! ... I noticed something in the movie (OK, OK, I bought a copy and have watched it several times) I believe is worth mentioning: Towards then end there's a shot (likely in the Hollywood version of the CIC) where you see Hondo's left shoulder, and the patch he is wearing is the First Navy Jack patch, otherwise known as the Gadsden flag, complete with the snake. This scene occurs when Hangman is told not to launch, no search and rescue, etc. It's only visible for a few frames, but it's a nice touch. Also,...

A week or so ago a FReeper fired up a post predicting a Labor Day weekend potent hurricane for the GOM (Gulf of Mexico). Well lo and behold there's a system out east that the NHC is forecasting/hyping to be near the US just in time. There's also a 'disturbance' about the depart the west coast of Africa on the tails of the first one. Just in time for September, eh?

Here's the net - 'vaccines" kinda work, but there is no need to continue with successive boosters, and there is good science to support this.' because of how the COVID "vaccines" work, the more you are 'vaccinated' and boosted the more likely you are to be infected, reinfected, and transmit COVID-XX. The article doesn't recommend against the initial vaccine, except for young people, but does present the logical conclusion : "There is no need to continue with successive boosters." This is actual peer-reviewed science, published in the peer-reviewed SCIENCE journal and medrxiv. The two studies supporting this conclusion are: (1)...

[Vanity] I'd like to listen to his RADIO show from today since he said Kurt Schlichter would be guest hosting. I like Dan, and I love Schlichter. Any clues where to go to listen to recordings of his radio shows?

Help me build a list of words redefined by the "woke" crowd and the Left. We have to actively take our language back. The Left, the Woke, the Progressives, the whoever believe they are, apparently have the power and the right(!) to redefine what words mean, who can use them/ who cannot, words that insinuate meaning (aka 'dog whistles') etc. For too long we have gone along with that. Let's first identify the words they are redefining, co-opting and restricting, and restore them to OUR usage, in our culture. So help me capture the words 'they' seek to control and...

THIS IS MY INTRO, NOT THE ARTICLE. THUS THE partial vanity label. We've seen from the initial South African Health Ministry discovery of the Omicron variant that Omicron (actually Xi) is a mild but highly infectious pathogen. In other words, a typical corona virus. Omicron rapidly became the globally dominant, endemic strain of COVID19.x Read this article from Time.com (of all places) that properly puts Omicron in its place in the human life experience. It's time to move on from locking down the world and liberties for what essentially is a 'cold'.

A former Marine sings the SECOND verse of the national anthem. Pay attention to the words and the reaction of the crowd. You are NOT alone in what you believe about this nation. https://youtu.be/I0fQd858cRc

Have any prominent/powerful Dems or 'Progressives' become ill and/or hospitalized from COVID? I ask because I cannot recall anyone (on that side of the aisle or cultural debate)of real power, privilege or influence becoming ill, NOT just "I tested positive", and/or hospitalized. I recall Mr. and Mrs. Tom HAnks were 'ill' but not hospitalized, but cannot think of ANY since. Any prominent member of the House, Senate or Media? We've seen numerous "far right!!!" people fall ill, and several recently passing away. This leads me to wonder, did 'they' (members of the Inner Party)get the REAL vaccine? I mean after...

From a friend via a copy-pasted email thread Many of you you have asked how safely store what we'll call "the modern sporting rifle" for the long term. Particularly let's focus on storage in what we'll euphemistically call "environmentally exposed" locations. The typical answer has been to liberally coat the firearm in some sort of viscous grease (last generally sold in the Korean War era) that can take an hour to get off if the firearm is needed/desired for use, and place all the parts in various bags inside a large diameter PVC Schedule 40 or better pipe, with threaded...

I am looking for advice on getting an older Marlin 336 to strike the primer hard/deep enough to fire the round. ie fix a soft primer strike. I have refinished a Marlin 336 RC, built 1964 per serial number, that I bought used at a gun show. I bought it knowing that it would not fire a round when the trigger was pulled and the firing pin would only dent (soft primer strike) the primer in the cartridge. I paid just over $100 for the firearm with the Nikon scope (worth more than $100) with the intent of refinishing the...
