The Chinese think that it the best way to win a war is to avoid engaging your enemy in open combat. By spending a few tens of millions of dollars to back the Bidens, they have inflicted more damage on the USA than any weapons system other than a nuclear weapon could ever do.
Is the Biden Presidency a Chinese intelligence operation?
That’s as close to being an “honest politician” Gropey Joe will ever be. That is; once bought, he stays bought. (Yes, I realize that an honest politician is largely a fairytale critter.)
Roger is right on the money! Most of my friends & family are too busy to pay attention to what is going on. They watch “lamestream” news (the propaganda arm of the Demoncrat party,) assuming they watch any news at all. They predominately spend time on the socials and/or Tik Tok (China’s “opiate of the masses.”) And don’t forget Dems have the monopoly on “empathy,” supporting men who pretend to be women or women pretending to be men; all Trump did was send “mean tweets.” I have friend who voted against “The Don” simply because he was perceived as “being mean.” And don’t get me started on this whole “support animal” thing! I work in retail and actual service animals are welcome in our store. I simply don’t get people bringing pet (under the guise of “emotional support animals”) into the store because they need the animal or can’t stand leaving it safely in the car, or as I did as a kid, at home where it belongs. Had a woman tell me the animals get anxious when left in the car or at home…
The whole EMA thing is a absolute crock. Has there even been a dog kept as a pet that wasn’t an emotional support animal? That’s what dogs do. That’s what dogs are. Love covered in fur who don’t judge you and who are always there for you. And walkies, playing stick, chasing squirrels. Because dogs.
But a landlord, a condo park manager, etc … you have NO rights. Businesses that don’t want animals in their store. These “medical devices” cannot be denied, cannot be categorized (breed, age, size, sex, number of them, etc) and there is ZERO training for them. You don’t want dogs in your unit? Screw you. Anyone and everyone can get one of these “certificates of need” and you can’t do anything at all about it. Because “handicapped” and “disabled” have all the power. You have none.
There are worlds of difference between a trained service dog and an ESA. This is the biggest con the ADA has ever played.

I’ve wondered for 50 years when “The Manchurian Candadate” would leave the fiction section…. (sigh)
The War?
We’ve lost the whole damn civilization if the public doesn’t pull its collective heads out of the Socialist rectum.
I do not relish the thought of the entire world as a collection of warring Banana Republics doomed to perpetual murder and corruption for the sake of a tiny and very insecure elite content to be the biggest minnow in a very small pond.
OMG! “You want lies with that?” I’m only laughing because it’s so the truth. God help us all. (Ammo too, since the big Hornady plant caught on fire last week or so)
I’ve been using Lee Precision reloading equipment for more than 4 decades; haven’t bought factory ammo in that time, either.
If red isn’t your color, there’s blue (Dillon), green (Hornady) and others. The process is relatively simple (I find it relaxing), although it does help to be detail oriented (an inadvertent double charge can ruin your whole day at the range, not to mention your firearm).
Components are readily available, even with intermittent shortages of primers. The cost of “home-rolled” vs. “factory-bought” is half to two-thirds vs. store price. And if you spread your purchases around, ain’t nobody gonna be able to track you . . .
The cost of “home-rolled” vs. “factory-bought” USED TO BE half to two-thirds…
Fixed it.
Perhaps for rifle rounds, but components are so expensive these days that the once fired brass from the purchased case of pistol calibers is nearly free.
I love reloading, but pretty much stopped when factory ammunition was available and cheap,
Oh Hornady is Red, green is RCBS, I’m a Lee/Dillon/Wilson guy myself 😉

I used Lee Turret press for years, there’s something relaxing about spending a quiet Sunday morning loading a few hundred and a noisy Sunday afternoon at the range ‘unloading’ them again 😉

I’ll give you all the ultimate cheap powerful load.
Go get yourself a used Marlin in .45-70. Most of them out there are in great shape, as lots of people can’t handle the recoil of even the wimpy factory ammo. Learn to cast lead, buy a 350 – 425 grain 4 cavity mold that makes a short nose blunt bullet. Don’t make them super hard, although hard cast will work just fine. Size them to .459 or .460. They don’t need to be hollowpoints.
Buy 100 Starline .45-70 brass cases. Scrounge up some lead. Modern wheel weights are not what you want. The bullet casting forums can hook you up with places you can get good bullet alloys in big ingots.
Load them with 13 – 15 grains of Unique, and use a dowel to push a tiny square of 1 ply toilet paper (call it 3/4″ across) down over the powder. Seat the bullet, crimp. Store your ammo base down; the TP just helps the powder stay near the primer, but you can get away without it too, especially with the heavier bullets. A 5lb jug of Unique will last you for years, giving you 2300 – 2700 loads.
Regardless of weight, this bullet comes out the rifle muzzle around 1250-1400fps, has nearly light recoil, doesn’t make a huge bang, and has close to twice the power of a .44 Magnum shot from a long barrel pistol. It’s pretty much a 100 yard round, but there are few animals on this continent that it won’t kill within that 100 yards.
It won’t lead up the barrel much either, especially if you spend a little more to get gas checks and a gas check bullet mold.
The stress on the cases is so light that you can reload them many times before any kind of annealing is needed. They’ll last you decades.

Do it for fun guys, but until the Big Hurt comes it is far cheaper all things considered to go the store-bought route.
Just lay in the stores at a much higher count than what you ever thought you might need, before the squeeze happens. I sold a lot of reloading gear and supplies over the years, and set up to load myself three times when there were whispers of curtailment like when they were buying it all for their “agencies”. But I always ended up breaking it all down, selling it and adding some more .22, 9mm, 223, and 12gad to the back stock with the funds.
And speaking of .22 (which is btw the most universal ammo there is) when they did whatever they did to the supply that was a glimpse of what they can do. Ultimately all it did was double the price and cause me to add another 5K.
I am sure considering the eloquence and intelligence of DBD readers (with honorable mention to DBD’s creator) that Cho BiDung does not have the mental horsepower to conduct all the different attacks on the USA that are currently under way. We should focus our ire at the real source.
This has been planned for decades but implementation was brought to the front burner by the Kenyan Mulatto and his band of communists. I hope to live to see them all as guests of honor at a rope dance.
“…implementation was brought to the front burner by the Kenyan Mulatto and his band of communists.”
But still just a slow boil until PDJT came along, THAT is what lit the big fire under their evil commie asses, knew they had to “git” while the gittin’ was good. And they did.
Spot on. Unfortunately.
The ownership powers will not let the political powers go as rogue as they have in the past. The ownership control powers will profit however it goes. They need weapons first. Then there is all that build back stuff. Some entity has already klaimed Ukraine as where they will build back. Profiting and controlling all of the way. There is Maui to build out also. And the world. They will handle the pesky humans they say among themselves.
I had a better explanation, but, my machine, the dog, and the cats all ate it every time before I could get the final words finished. So I sent the less than Cliff Notes version before I screwed up again.
I remember a statement that I read once (I think the Illuminatus Trilogy by Wilson and Shea). The quote is, “It’s not true unless it makes you laugh, but you don’t really understand it until it makes you cry”
We are seriously entering a tearful time, I think.
Would love to see it – 0n so many levels, not the least of which would be immunity from prosecution while in office.
And I’m willing to bet your next paycheck that he’d REALLY mess with their so-called minds by staunchly adhering to the principles and precepts of the Constitution — as written and as explained in the Federalist Papers . . .
I would imagine a lot of them on both sides of the aisle and upstream in the Party heirarchies won’t like me once they get to know me but that’s the idea, isn’t it?

Fake election
It’s sad when satire is so close to reality!
What’s more sad is that a huge part of our population sees nothing wrong with what’s going on!

And Biden didn’t even have to risk his neck in combat in Korea, he actually went to the Chicoms to solicit their “help”.
Obviously a fantasy depiction; puppets cannot be sufficiently controlled to write.
We have lost this war.

This wouldn’t be so depressing if it weren’t so true …

Excellent, Chris. Very creative and spot-on with respect to what’s happening. Kudos!

Too much truth hurts so much you have to laugh.
“The Big Guy” is only getting 10%? Waitresses get 20%! (Out of your pocket) >:(
Right so, 20% on a $100 check, server gets twenty bucks.
But if 10% for the BG (big guy or bad guy you choose) results in that 200K check? Imagine *that* tab.
Hopefully, only 4 more months of the nonsense to go…
So, chatter again about DJT being Speaker.
That would be worth it, just for the hilarity of seeing lefty heads explode, let alone what that crazy bastid might actually do!
Would love to see it – 0n so many levels, not the least of which would be immunity from prosecution while in office.

So, as I understand it,The,Spezaker of the House does not have to be an elected Member of Congress.
In that case, I volunteer! I’m a political unknown and therefore not beholden to anybody.
Also, I’m both a retired Army Non-Commissioned Officer and a retired Correctional Officer. I have decades of dealing with out-of-control jerks.
As noted, I’m retired so they won’t be taking me away from other responsibilities.
Best suggestion so far.
Larry Fink likely won’t like you.
That is good.
