At 0001 on 2022-08-24 (yesterday morning) the ATF’s new rules on building your own firearms went into effect. There were three big cases that were attempting to get an injunction to stop the rules from going into effect. Two were denied by the judges and one was granted in part but the final decision isn’t due until next week.

In addition to the new rules going into effect, they aren’t the same rules that were available for comments. Three days ago the ATF changed the new rules. The injunction to stop the rules from going into effect over that was also denied.

In Florida, Rebeka Jones was disqualified from running. Being a democrat she ran to the Courts and got them to overrule the law. She was on the primary and won. She will be running against Matt Gaetz.

Gun Owners of America brought suit to block the NY state law that makes places such as stadiums, hospitals and Times Square “sensitive locations” Gun rights group asks judge to block NY gun ban in Times Square, other ‘sensitive’ places

I hit a personal goal yesterday, 4 months ago I was at 330. Yesterday I weighed in at 298.5. I credit Miguel with being part of the reason I got the drive to do something about it. The changes I made were to go from a standard dinner plate to an 8in dinner plate. This let my wife feel like she was showing her love but with about 1/3 as much food going onto my plate.

I got back on the exercise bike and do 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week. When the weather gets a bit cooler we’ll be clearing the weight machine so I can use that as well. Dealing with some other issues has helped reduce my cravings and I’m just not as hungry all the time.

Is losing weight an important health goal?

Gun rights advocates cheered the Supreme Court’s June decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen as a reaffirmation of the Second Amendment’s protections of an individual right to bear arms. Gun control advocates grumbled that the decision would prove a costly disaster for states desperate to address sharply rising rates of gun violence.

And yet, as states are already proving, the truth is likely to be more complicated. Rather than an abrupt change to American gun laws, the Bruen opinion may accelerate existing political and legal trends, driving state laws toward more permissive and more restrictive gun regulations.

Red-state legislatures will likely continue their efforts to make it easier to own and carry guns — citing Bruen as a reason to relax their gun laws, repeal existing laws or vote against gun regulation. Blue states, by contrast, will likely continue to expand restrictions, citing passages in Bruen that bless gun licensing, the designation of sensitive places unsuitable for the presence of firearms, the prohibition of dangerous and unusual weapons, and the restriction of gun ownership to those who are “law abiding, responsible citizens.”

State gun regulations are a messy patchwork. The Supreme Court’s Bruen decision won’t help

In case you didn’t hear, CNN got roasted because they claimed that the decrease in gas prices over the last couple of months should be greeted as a $100/month pay raise. Totally ignoring the fact that gas is still way up from what it was before Biden took office.
America just got a $100-a-month raise

The lame street media is finally starting to admit that it is men fucking men that is spreading Monkeypox. Of course they only admitted this after the rest of the population doubled over in laughter over the claim that it was going to affect everyone.

I agree with J.Kb., every child that comes down with Monkeypox should be treated the same as an under aged girl coming in pragnent. They might have caught it from innocuous source but at least investigate.

Sex between men, not skin contact, is fueling monkeypox, new research suggests

As soon as they admitted it was spreading between gay men the next great pandemic just evaporated.

The Citizen Times published an opinion that is so full of straw man arguments and general bad logic that it was worth a full article debunking every other sentence. You are smart, you can read and laugh or swear as you like.

The Huffington Post publishes a confession of a teacher that is willing to go on record as violating Florida law, as long as she can use a pseudonym. Like every other teacher and teacher’s union spokesperson the author has to lie in order to make it look like she’s the victim.

Lady, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

I’ve known a couple of people with Lyme disease. It is a nasty not fatal disease. It can affect your ability to do physical labor, walk or have any energy at all. Not to mention the pain it can cause.

A vaccine for Lyme disease is in its final clinical trial

Words still have meaning, no matter how often the democrats try and change the words and meanings. One of my first introductions to this was my kids kindergarten teacher telling me he had to be nicer to his friends. They had changed the word used for “classmate” to “friend.”

My child was suppose to be “friends” with everybody in his classroom. The education industry has a long history of making up new terms and words for the same old thing and then laughing at the parents that are using last months terms and words. Nobody is as professional as them. Leave education to them.

In the same way Gov Hochul of NY has redefined “convicts” and “inmate” as “incarcerated person”. Because “convict” and “inmate” is dehumanizing and people think of them as “less than people”.

Kathy Hochul, Democrats demand ‘inmates’ must now be called ‘incarcerated person’

  1. “She will be running against Matt Gaetz.” AKA She will lose badly against Gaetz.

    And good job on the weight loss! One little bit at a time and I would say patience, but truthfully it is just not caring about time spent, just doing it constantly. Soon enough it becomes second nature.
    PS: Ignore the plateaus, they eventually crumble.
