🚨UPDATE🚨

We just talked to Rep. @ChipRoyTX. He says:

“I think we’re making progress on suppressors. Still work to be done on short barrels, but we’re making progress.”

Tell your Congressman to support suppressor and short barreled firearm protections in the budget reconciliation bill!

Call the House Switchboard @ (202) 225-3121

Kill them: the final solution.

Every time the Left talks about kindness, this is what they mean.

The mostly peaceful solution

I am pleased by her article. It shows that ignoring them, and/or pointing and laughing at their weak antics, are working. We need to laugh more at their "But we banned them on Facebook! Why aren't they ruined?!?" crap.

As for coming to kill us, well, here we are....

I admit I enjoyed thinking how she must have reacted to Trump's re-election.

Looking at a 2006 Ram 4 door 4WD with 4.7L engine, and a 1993 GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab 2WD with 5.7L.  Both automatics.

I've owned a 2005 Ram with the 4.7L.  I think they will tow the same, around 7500lbs.  But the Ram is 4WD.  Ram has 137K on it, GMC has 250K on it.

Buying the Ram would kind of undo the "kick me" I owe myself for selling my standard cab short bed 2005 w/ 4.7L engine.

Spoiler (sort of) alert again





In the book 2001 the Discovery goes to Saturn. Kubrick changed it to Jupiter in the movie because they couldn't do the effects of Saturn's rings to his satisfaction. Clark followed the movie in the later 2010 book and moved everything to Jupiter. Forms kind of a disconnect between the books.

There's a fan made short recently on YouTube, where whoever did it changed bits from 2001 make it conform to the book.  Discovery goes to Saturn, with the beautiful rings in all the CGI glory we can do now that they couldn't in 1968.  Monolith is on the moon Iapatus, in the middle of a great big white spot.  The trip through the monolith stargate is more "space-flighty" than hallucinogenic.

Well done.  I'll edit in the link if I find it.
