Fighting the good fight
One of my daily reads is a guy who calls himself the Machete of Truth.
Machete is a goddamned troll magnet. He spends an inordinate amount of his time playing whack-a-troll, and to my knowledge, has never banned ANYONE. Me, I cannot tolerate the stupidity- as soon as I see one of these fuckheads, I ban them. Machete doesn’t, and they flock to him like a tornado to a trailer park. They don’t get that he’s letting them congregate there rather than piss in other sites, they don’t get that he’s using them as sources for Dhimmicrat talking points. He comments just enough to keep them arguing and bickering, and the result is just amazing. If you ever need a laugh, go and witness the idiots posting there, and listen to the BS they spout as if it were truth. And do so quickly, because Machete claims he’s gonna shut down come election time. These next couple months should be a riot, watching what happens at the Blog of Truth. Enjoy!

Another confession
After having determined that I cannot shoot my beloved Remington 241 offhand worth a damn, and unwilling to accept that it could be my fault, I headed off to the range on Sunday to see if I could improve my aim.
I had most of the imaginable types of ammo available, CCI green tag, Remington target, Federal premier, and PMC. All of it got measured against my benchmark, Remington Golden Bullets. The remingtons are cheap, shoot well, and feed reliably in everything I’ve got to shoot them. I just wanted to see if it was me, or the ammo.
It is me. I got exactly the same results, statistically, with each type of ammo, and frankly, it means that for my purposes, there’s never any point in buying the expensive stuff except for the high end benchrest match rifles, and even that is questionable.
I even pulled the barrel off the other 241 (yes, I have two) and shot it for a while, it made no difference. I so wanted to be a great shot with this rifle, and I’m just not. Again, all the niceness in the world means nothing when you can’t
hit what you’re aiming at.
