Earlier today I ran into some pro-vaccine protesters and I asked how many boosters they would be willing to take “As many as it takes, because I’m not a selfish bastard — if it takes 10, I’ll take 10”(See 1 minute video below) https://twitter.com/RapidFire_Pod/status/1485416078750666756

A PSA for politicians/bureaucrats and criminals – 3 not mutually-exclusive categoriesI’m throwing you an open thread this morning. I didn’t sleep much last night until 4:45 am at which point I fell soundly asleep and slept till 6:45 am, my time, 8:30 Eastern. So I awoke noting that the American people now (unexpectedly) list prices/inflation and crime as their top concerns. Where did that come from? What about all the wokesters out there who’ve been more concerned with inequity, social justice, defunding cops and replacing them with social workers? And when did the COVID COOTIE MONSTER drop from #1 for...

The federal Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed cases for 31 ANTIFA thugs who were charged with crimes related to rioting in Portland, Ore.Four defendants who were charged with felony assault of a federal officer had those charges dropped. More than half of the charges were “dropped with prejudice,” meaning that those cases cannot under any circumstances be brought up again in court.Billy Williams, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, claimed at the time there would be severe consequences against ANTIFA terrorists who committed wanton acts of destruction outside of the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse throughout the summer of...

Do you know the difference between Hoar Frost and Rime Ice? Most people don’t. Rime ice is a deposit of ice formed during a freezing fog, often accompanied by high wind and temperatures well below freezing. The supercooled water droplets freeze rapidly when coming in contact with objects such as branches, fence posts, etc.. Rime ice definition from the American Meteorological Society's Glossary of Meteorology:“A white or milky and opaque granular deposit of ice formed by the rapid freezing of supercooled water drops as they impinge upon an exposed object. It is denser and harder than hoarfrost, but lighter, softer,...

Some believe that The Simpsons represents the apogee of Western philosophy. The Brandon Administration must be among them: Biden Admin uses Tom Hanks for ‘credibility’ in new video, just like ‘The Simpsons Movie’In a 2007 episode, the Simpsons predicted “that government would become so inept they’d need to enlist the help of actor Tom Hanks to gain back credibility.” As some wag once said, “you can’t make this stuff up.” Or can you?As you may recall however, The Simpsons has a long track record of predicting the future. For example, the Ebola outbreak of 2014-2016, Marge was all over it...

BREAKING: US govt asks Russia to keep the written response to Moscow’s demand on security guarantees —a secret, to not publish any contents of the US response - Washington Post citing leaked dochttps://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1484793098592944129 1. Biden knows Putin has checkmated NATO this time. The U.S cannot afford a major war in Europe at a time when China could pounce on Taiwan at any moment. Biden also understands NATO could come off second best in a war against Russia, given the fact that Russia was the first to mobilize and deploy. In other words, Moscow is 100% ready. NATO is not (Europe's...

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America 01/21/22 Meat Loaf was a great guy—got to know him very well doing Celebrity Apprentice. He was smart, talented, open, and warm. His success was enormous—we all loved him. Meat Loaf will be greatly missed!

So let me get this straight, I am being investigated in Georgia for asking an Attorney General with many lawyers and others knowingly on the phone to look for corruption, which definitely took place in the Georgia Presidential election—but the people who committed the crime are in no way, shape, or form under investigation and are instead being protected? The people looking for the crime are being hounded and the people who committed the crime are being protected. This is not the American way.

Some people are born to be the pocket…some are born to be the pocket pet. Unfortunately people like George Soros are the former and the majority of our political class the latter.And that reminds me of a song: Willie Nelson, Everywhere I Go I'll take you with me everywhere I go I'll put you in my pocket, who will know? Right next to my heart at every show I'll take you with me everywhere I goNo matter where our trails will finally wind Our paths will just keep crossing, yours and mine Until then, and in my pocket you must...

Former President Trump tells 'Hannity' he wants President Biden to do well, but details concerns about agenda.

It was only a matter of time before Ron DeSantis’ rising star ran into the unmovable object of Donald Trump’s will to continue to dominate the GOP. A spate of recent news stories has focused on the proto-feud between the past president with future ambitions, and the protégé who rode his endorsement to victory in a Florida GOP gubernatorial primary and has big ambitions of his own. The scale of the clash shouldn’t be exaggerated — so far it mostly consists of muttering from Mar-a-Lago, and speculation that both men could end up throwing their hats in the 2024 ring....

Hi-Power, meet the High Power.The Hi-Power — known as the Browning Hi-Power, the Browning Automatic Pistol, the Grande Puissance, P-35, Pistole 640(b), and so many other names — is arguably the most widely-used military handgun of all time. Present in historic conflicts from both sides of the toughest battles of World War II to the Iranian embassy siege in London that made the British Special Air Service a household name, this single-action semi-automatic pistol was unbelievably innovative for its time, boasting a number of features that made it truly higher power than other options of the day.Now, 87 years after...

The Left - who once described every single one of President Trump’s press conferences as ‘bizarre’ – apparently doesn’t know bizarre from a hole in the ground. Not a peep when presented with the actual most bizarre presidential press conference of all time. Give them a presser in which Joey Potatoes greenlights a ‘minor incursion’into Ukraine by Russia, claims that he brought gas prices down, that Inflation has nothing to do with him and his out-of-control federal spending, that his Veep is doing a “good job” on “voting rights” (it failed in the Senate last night), yet still maintains that...
