“”” I’ve spoken to native people in Hawaii who run such companies as figureheads, while a large firm does all the work. “””

Yeah, nothing new or shocking about this. I was in construction all my life. This sort of thing has been going on forever.

What tribe owns the judge’s land....come to court for your new digs...

What’s that 3% of the budget?

Been trying to say that at work. To no avail.

Where is AG Bondi?

No fires.
Damn commies!

I really liked OB.
My kind of hippies, really.
A late 60s vibe from everyone and of all ages.
I could beach-bum the rest of my life there.

Hilariously hiding his identity with a cheap wig and eyeglasses, O’Keefe filmed a meeting he had with the director of contracts for ATI Government Solutions where the scam was openly discussed during a meal. O’Keefe explained the Biden administration’s 8(a) SBA Program is being exploited by shell companies that receive lucrative no-bid government contracts for being Native American-owned, collect around 65% of the money and pass along the work to subcontractors, which are paid using the remaining 35%.

This is true and it was going on before Biden, all the way back to Bush at least. I've spoken to native people in Hawaii who run such companies as figureheads, while a large firm does all the work.

Chief Bad Egg wets his beak ?

I do miss my days at OB. Do they still allow fires on Dog Beach?

I hear Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries’ playing in my head for some reason............

A left wing website bans guns. *snicker* Lefties are half the gun market.

I recently re-read a book published in 1988 (Stranger in the Forest) about adventures in Borneo, in the early - mid 1980’s.

The forest tribesmen, at that time, were reloading shotgun shells and repriming primers using homemade black powder and matchhead priming compound.

Their techniques may have advanced over the last four decades.

USA! USA! USA!

The USA250 celebration gave a big FU finger to the "No Kings" weenies along Ocean Beach, CA.
5 Apache flew-by with the \Colors-USA\ displayed below four of the helicopters (image).
Wife and I were savoring our walk along the water line in OB.
The No Kings thing was sparsely attended (but I'm sure they counted it as a win.
This was a big FU to the OB folks who protested "No Kings" day, safe and happy in their roof-top restaurants.
It was visible in north San Diego, too.
Happened around 1700 just as the USA250 celebration was closing at Pendleton.

You told me about MeWe and the primer info.

I got all the necessary stuff, but evidently MeWe has been sold. Might be off shore. The original source of primer info is still on web.

It appears web forums that don’t try to pry into your private life, are quickly disappearing from the web.

Credit card companies are still trying to lump reloading and firearms related items in with high risk sites and are blocking transactions. They ease up for a while, then they come back trying to stop flow.

The old solid reloading sites are still functioning. Supply is pretty good.

I just got new computer with Linux...been using firefox, and your posts made me think...I don’t notice reddit results so much anymore, as with Brave. May stick with Firefox...but looking at other search engines.

“”No one on Reddit will be allowed to facilitate user-to-user transactions involving firearms parts and enhancements. Even specific instructions, such as those for 3D printing files to create such items, are prohibited.””

Meanwhile... back at the reality ranch... nobody is advocating for banning the sale of sharp weapons like knives, hatchets, machetes or axes ... especially to radical, jihadi-minded Muslims. Because that would be wrong, bigoted and racist! I’m surprised they’re not publishing “how to” and “DIY” instruction booklets for how to slice & dice your nearest infidel (Jihadi Slaughter For Dummies).

You can tell which governments are run by cartels by how they respond to President Trump.
