Why wasn't this done before?
The Trump administration has been quietly adding military surveillance cameras at the U.S.-Mexico border in response to the coronavirus pandemic, though fewer people appear to be crossing illegally. It’s the latest move as operations at the U.S.-Mexico border have become increasingly militarized and secretive.

The Amish have apparently been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, so last week, Ohio’s Geauga County health commissioner, Thomas Quade, sent a letter to Amish bishops warning them about the dangers in their community, Fox News reported. Quade, according to the outlet, also asked the Amish community to stop church services for a month to stop the spread of the virus.
“It is disappointing,” Quade told the outlet. “I wish it wouldn’t happen. Those folks are all placing themselves at risk.”
But over the weekend, a large gathering of Amish was broken up by police, with one person getting arrested, another issued a summons, and two charged with underage drinking. Police were called to the property after someone called them to report a violation of the state’s stay-at-home orders, Fox reported. The arrest occurred just after midnight in Huntsburg Township.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is real:
Zach Goldberg . . . has analysed the latest dataset released by the reputable Pew Research Center. This is the Pew Research Panel, Wave 64, which interviewed a representative sample of 11,537 American adults between March 19th and March 24th. . . .
Among those aged 18 to 29, some 20.9% of those who described themselves as “Conservative” answered “Yes” to the question “Has a doctor or healthcare provider ever told you that you have a mental health condition?” For those in this age group who were political “Moderates,” 26.3% answered “Yes.” But among those who self-classified as “Liberal” those answering “Yes” jumped up to an astonishing 45.9%.
So, to be clear, almost half of young white American Leftists have been diagnosed with a mental illness. . . .

Yeah, that's not going to happen
New York (CNN Business) - Dozens of grocery store workers have died from the coronavirus, despite masks, temperature checks and capacity restrictions to keep them safe. So far, supermarkets have resisted the most draconian policy: banning customers from coming inside.
However, some worker experts, union leaders and small grocery owners believe it has become too dangerous to let customers browse aisles, coming into close range with workers. Grocery stores are still flooded with customers, and experts say it's time for large chains to go "dark" to the public and convert to curbside pickup and home delivery for food and other essential goods.

Sorry, but stores rely heavily on impulse buying for profit which is evidenced by end-cap displays.
Seriously, how many times have you gone to the store with a shopping list and end up spending half again as much buying shit that wasn't on your list? And it's not just candy and chips, it's stuff that you forgot you were out of until you saw it at the store - stuff you don't need right now but hey! you're out of it or close to it, you see it, so you might as well buy it while you're there. And how about when you go to Aisle 7 to buy something that you know for a fact is in Aisle 7 but overnight the entire aisle has been rearranged with something completely different? That's done on purpose so you'll have to walk past and see stuff you ordinarily don't buy - again, they're taking advantage of that impulse buying thing.
And regardless of what the article says about small grocery stores supporting this, I doubt it - their profit margin is much smaller than larger retailers because they don't buy as much in bulk, so they end up keeping prices as low as they can to compete with the chains which causes their profits to take a hit right out the gate. This will drive the locally owned grocers out of business in no time.

Rich people doing chores for first time: ‘It’s been a complete shock’
Kenneth Mark never had much time for domestic duties. The dermatologist, who runs three high-end practices in Soho, the Hamptons and Aspen, Colo., typically spends “north of 60 hours a week” jabbing patients with Botox and fillers. His housekeeper of 20 years keeps his home in order, and when his first son was born last year, she became his nanny as well.
“She really takes care of everything,” Mark, 50, tells The Post. “She cleans the house and also watches the baby. She is almost like a house manager, cleaning lady and nanny rolled into one.”

Henry Plummer
Henry Plummer (1832–1864) was a prospector, lawman, and outlaw in the American West in the 1850s and 1860s, who was known to have killed several men, some in what was considered self-defense.[citation needed] He was elected sheriff of Bannack, Montana from 1863 to 1864, during which period he was accused of being the leader of a "road agent" gang of outlaws known as the "Innocents," which preyed on shipments from Virginia City to other areas. In response some leaders in Virginia City formed the Vigilance Committee of Alder Gulch, and began to take action against Plummer's gang, gaining confessions from a couple of men they arrested in early January 1864. On January 10, 1864 Plummer and two associates were arrested in Bannack by a company of the Vigilantes and summarily hanged.
Plummer was given a posthumous trial in 1993 which led to a mistrial. The jury was split 6–6.

Meat shortages: The wages of 'cheap' illegal labor
In 2004's preachy, much panned leftist mockumentary, A Day without a Mexican, the supposedly hypothetical scenario, about how California would fall apart if all its Mexicans, including illegals, somehow disappeared, was acted out. The film had a grand old time portraying white people as a bunch of soft, privileged fools, unable to clean even their own toilets.
This is annoying because it lumps most Americans into a stereotype of a typically feckless, over-monied limousine liberal, such as you might really find in Hollywood circles.
But it did raise the question of U.S. dependence on illegal foreign labor.

It's Time To Build
In the U.S., we don’t even have the ability to get federal bailout money to the people and businesses that need it. Tens of millions of laid off workers and their families, and many millions of small businesses, are in serious trouble *right now*, and we have no direct method to transfer them money without potentially disastrous delays. A government that collects money from all its citizens and businesses each year has never built a system to distribute money to us when it’s needed most.
Why do we not have these things? Medical equipment and financial conduits involve no rocket science whatsoever. At least therapies and vaccines are hard! Making masks and transferring money are not hard. We could have these things but we chose not to — specifically we chose not to have the mechanisms, the factories, the systems to make these things. We chose not to *build*.

US restaurants expect big changes when their doors reopen
The days of standing shoulder-to-shoulder at a bar or sharing a meal at a table for 10 are gone for now — and could take a long time to return even after the coronavirus pandemic ends.
U.S. restaurants are thinking ahead to a time when their dining room doors reopen to a changed world. Owners say there may be physical differences, like masked waiters, disposable menus or fewer tables so patrons can sit farther apart. There will be signs explaining cleaning procedures and glass dividers to protect cashiers. Disinfectant wipes might sit next to napkin dispensers.

This smacks of Nazi Germany, doesn't it?
In what might be one of the most over-the-top and draconian responses to coronavirus yet seen in Montana, Valley County is mandating that people wear government-issued pink arm bands in under to purchase products inside of stores. The measure, enforced by the Valley County Health Department, insists that store-owners keep customers out unless they have the pink arm-bands, which denote the customer has been in the area more than 14 days and submitted to quarantine protocol.

Three strikes and you're out, baby.
I used to read him occasionally until he started ranting and insulting anybody that dared disagree with him because he obviously knows everything about everything.
Now he's gotten to the point that he starts ranting and insulting before anybody even has a chance to disagree with him. If I want to hear childish rants and fit throwing, I'm sure I could find some on youtube somewhere.
And yeah, if he sees this I'm sure he'll have some choice words for me. Let him - I'm not going to get into a flame war with a grown man that has an attitude of a spoiled child.

Another one of Bill's fuck ups
Former President Bill Clinton has talked openly about how he could have killed Osama bin Laden—but passed.
“I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I just didn't do it,” Clinton confessed to an Australian audience just 10 hours before two planes struck the World Trade Center.
But in The Longest War, a new documentary from director Greg Barker (Manhunt) and executive producer Alex Gansa (Homeland), former CIA agents reveal that they had another opportunity to take out Osama bin Laden with little collateral damage.

Harvard Professor Wants A ‘Presumptive Ban‘ On Homeschooling, Claims It Promotes White Supremacy
In a shocking essay for Harvard Magazine, a professor of law and director of Harvard Law School’s child advocacy legal clinic, claims homeschooling is a threat to children’s rights, a method of promoting white supremacy, and a drain on democratic society — and even goes so far as to suggest a national “presumptive ban” on the practice.

Fears Of Nationwide 9MM Ammo Shortage Sparks Panic Hoarding

We first documented the run on guns and ammo in mid-March, identifying shops across many states with long lines of patrons, waiting to get their hands on AR-15s, shotguns, and handguns, along with the ammo for each respective weapon.

They're a little late on this. Every site I've been to in the past month is either sold out of common calibers or there's a significant waiting time. On top of that, prices have gone through the roof - couple months ago brass cased 5.56 FMJ was right at 21 cents a round. A quick check on my go-to site, ammoseek.com, just now is showing 32 cents a round, down from 41 cents a week ago.
150 grain 300 Blackout was at 41 cents a round 2 months ago, today it's priced at 64 cents, no drop in price from 2 weeks ago.

Hey folks,
A reader reminded me today why I left blogger to begin with - They have a habit of deleting blogs with no warning if their terms of service are violated.
While I've had picture posts disappear in the past, I've known of a couple blogs here that were terminated, but they were pretty much filled with nothing but nudity. Tasteful nudity, but nudity nonetheless.
Anyways, when knuckledraggin crashed, I had a hell of a time getting the word out via email because I don't keep email address for the most part. If it wasn't for several bloggers that posted a link to this new/old site, many of you wouldn't be reading this today. Others had my email address and reached out to me.

California secures motel rooms to house thousands of homeless people amid COVID-19 outbreak
California is on its way to acquiring nearly 16,000 hotel rooms to house the homeless during the pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Saturday as he reminded people to stay indoors as outbreaks continue to crop up throughout the state.
Standing in front of a Motel 6 near San Jose, Newsom said more than 4,200 people have been moved out of shelters and off the streets into motel rooms. He took the opportunity to scold leaders of unnamed cities for blocking efforts to house the homeless, asking them to “please consider the morality” of their decisions.

I wonder how California is going to handle getting them out once Newsom decides the beervirus isn't a threat any longer?
When I left California, the law said that if a person spent ONE night someplace they were considered a resident and could only be removed against their will by eviction proceedings.
Not only that, but evictions there are a 60 day process, not 30 days.

St. Louis County Releases ‘Snitch Files” – Local Citizens Who Called County Government to Snitch on Business Owners
Responsible parents teach their children “don’t be a snitch.” We do this so that our children aren’t hated, because everyone knows that everyone hates a snitch.
But the Coronavirus fear mongers are turning otherwise responsible and likable people into sniveling snitches that nobody likes. And we can prove it.
Talk radio great Jamie Allman filed a Sunshine law request for the actual emails of St. Louis County residents who’ve snitched on local entrepreneurs trying to make a living. Most of the complaints were unfounded, involving people “turning in” companies that were deemed essential by the county.

Unmagnified Optics: Red Dot Vs Holographic Vs Prismatic Sights
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Reflective optics for artillery have been around since before World War One. With the massive rounds of the Great War, it makes sense – who would want to put their eye next to a scope ocular on a rifle with enough recoil to give shooters a black eye?
At first, these ambient light and half-mirror, “powered” reflex sights were confined to artillery and aircraft. They were simply too bulky and too daylight-dependent for small arms use. After World War Two, reflective optics were offered for sporting guns but were not considered suitable for individual military weapons.
