Lookout Mountain County District Attorney:
On Wednesday November 16, 2022, William Chase, a 62-year-old man from Walker County was convicted by a Walker County jury of Forgery in the First Degree, Illegal Acts Regarding Election Documents, Unlawful Acts Regarding Elector's Vote, Repeat Voting in Same Election. The trial began Monday, November 14th and concluded with a guilty verdict on November 16th in front of the Honorable Chief Judge Kristina Graham.
The evidence presented at trial showed that a Walker County resident’s absentee ballot for the January 2021 runoff election was sent by mistake to an old address, a PO Box in La Fayette, Georgia. When the resident’s ballot never arrived but her husbands did, the resident called the Elections Office in Walker County to inquire about her ballot. The Elections Office discovered that they had already accepted, but had not yet counted, an absentee ballot for the resident, and the ballot appeared to have resident’s signature on the Oath of Elector section. The resident went to the Elections Office to vi...

An unspent .40-caliber round discovered between the bodies of two young girls found dead on an Indiana hiking trail in 2017 led investigators to their alleged killer half a decade later, according to a probable cause affidavit unsealed Tuesday.

It is available on YouTube for free with ads (for me, Medicare Advantage plans, solar panels, and Lenovo PCs; a little late on that last one). I had forgotten what a brilliant piece of film this was:

3. An almost technically plausible story (Mars and back with the Apollo-era technology would not have been nine months; the technicians at the fake Mars studio adding slow motion to the sequences where the astronauts fall under Martian gravity).
4. A really terrifying sequence where the courageous reporter (back when such existed) discovers his Mustang has been sabotaged: no brakes, engine full throttle, engine key off does nothing.

I had to run to Guillory's today for some tasso, and I looked in their cooler for ideas for lunch. A pair of little stuffed pork chops caught my eye. Stuffed with pepperjack cheese and wrapped in bacon. I asked the butcher and he said about 45 minutes in a 350 oven. That sounded reasonable.
I had a few potatoes I needed to use, so when I got home I peeled and sliced them, then made an easy au gratin sauce to pour over them. I put them in the oven about fifteen minutes before the pork chops.

I think it would be something. I think would be good not only to head off shootings, but good to live in a society where we cared more intimately about each other. And I would be willing to give up certain privacies for that to happen. But for many Americans that would just be a massive cultural shift to regard our community and regard our common good in more frankly a European style. I think it would benefit our society in a whole range of areas.

So, if you've been paying attention at all, you have heard of Sam Bankman-Fried, who had a crypto company and a side-hustle of hedge fund. He was also the spawn of a couple of well-known Democrat donors, and he himself gave a lot of money to Democrats. This guy was the darling of the liberal elite, because he gave away a plot of money and espoused all the correct liberal memes.
Then one day it all came crashing down. His company funds got tangled up in his side-hustle and his investors lost all their money. Now, he's doing an apology tour, telling anyone who will listen that he never had the intent to defraud. Never mind that his investors were defrauded, it was just an accident.
Kind of like the Alec Baldwin defense.
Sam is a well-connected Democrat. Very well connected. I would be extremely surprised if he ever sees the inside of a jail. High profile Democrats don't go to jail. Unlike us lesser mortals for whom the laws were written.

Today I have the very cool opportunity to bring you a history of Icelandic domestic firearms manufacturing, courtesy of the Veiðisafnið – the Hunting Museum of Iceland:
https://www.hunting.is/english/
The first documented record of a firearm on Iceland dates to 1482, appearing in a description of a legal dispute between two farmers. The first recording hunting is in 1615, when a polar bear was shot in Hjaltadal (polar bears are not native to Iceland, but occasionally float across on ice form Greenland).
Without any large mammals (reindeer were only introduced in the 1700s form Norway), there has historically been little call for rifles on Iceland. Instead, most of the guns were shotguns, useful for bird hunting. The first known professional gunsmith was Einar Bjarnason, of Skeftafelli in Öræfi. Some time...

Stagflation is coming – and it could make the 1970s look like a walk in the park. As you’ve probably noticed, I expect a recession next year, and I’m not alone, as this has become the baseline scenario for many financial institutions and analysts. Even the DSGE model used by the New York Fed shows an 80% probability of a hard landing (defined as four-quarter GDP growth dipping below -1%) over the next ten quarters. Reasons? Inflation and the Fed’s tightening cycle. The history is clear: whenever inflation has been above 5%, the Fed’s hikes in interest rates have always …

Every day, on the news, it seems we hear of another “mass shooting” (3 or more people shot and killed), perpetrated by another insane person or persons. And every day recently, we hear on the news of two or three people pleading guilty, found guilty, or sentenced to prison for some long period. And every day, we hear politicians and pundits and people (“ordinary people”) who blame it all on guns. Well, not all guns – first, they want the police (and maybe the military) and private guards of wealthy and powerful people to have guns. Second, some also blame it on racism, sexism, Western Civilization and, of course, capitalism.
Just as we daily hear of the poor non-standard humans who are abused for some of those same reasons and more: racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, and so on. And back to the killing, all of those killers (“suspected” or otherwise) who survive their acts of aggression always have someone else or something else to blame for their murderous behavior. The only exception to these claims by the death-dealers seems to be some of those who kill unborn children: their reason for doing that (other ...

Off-body doesn’t mean you have to wear a funky fanny pack like Grandpa wears. Women who carry concealed firearms aren’t all wearing on-body holsters, nor do they want to. In fact, in a recent survey, conducted by one of the nation’s premiere training organizations for women – A Girl and A Gun Women’s Shooting League – 27.4% of the women who responded carry off-body.
Here are some of the main reasons women carry off-body:
- They cannot carry or draw from a holster on their bodies. Women might encounter a few “bumps in the road” while deciding how to carry a concealed firearm, too – such as creative curves, disabilities and pregnant bellies.
- They are wearing evening gowns or dresses that will not accommodate any type of holster other than one that fits between their legs. Awkward. You can buy concealed-carry clutches with wrist straps.
- For carrying in vehicles, they can set their designated bags or purses on the floors or seats next to them. No need to unholster their firearms and put them somewhere else (unless a state requires it). And also, it’s ...

One of you pointed me to MotoCabin. They make fiberglass motorcycle shelters. 69" high, 54" wide, 123" long, Big Bertha will fit with room to spare. What I would need to change
1. Remove the front wheel support rail.
2. Cut out a square in the bottom of base so that it does not run into the telescope.
3. Attach casters to the base plate.
4. When pouring pad, include U-channels in the concrete so they do not rise above the concrete. These need to be just wide enough for the casters to roll, but narrow to prevent my telescope ladder catching on them. (You motorcyclists and bicyclists know what happens when you hit railroad tracks at an angle.)
The last part of the puzzle: to keep a weather, bug, and house-proof seal, the base of the MotoCabin needs to end up on the pad, not above it. Is there a way to have casters rise or fall without lots of wrench work? I suppose I could put a rubber seal along the bottom and go for a very small elevation above the concrete. The seal would require regular replacement.
I was in a Zoom meeting the other day with some folks I hadn't met before. For myself, I, at the very least, put on a nice top and comb my hair even if I'm in sweatpants and keep the camera high enough to hide any cat that might jump in my lap.

I have never seen anything like I did that day. A woman clearly at home, in a sweatshirt, hair uncombed, WALKING on a desk treadmill. She didn't stop during the meeting. So I had to watch her head bob up and down because she was WALKING during the whole meeting.

On Oct. 13, 2022, investigators questioned Allen, who stuck to his story. He insisted he hadn’t seen anyone on the trail that day back in 2017 other than “the juvenile girls” near the Freedom Bridge. Allen said he owned guns, and that he kept them at home.
That same day, investigators executed a search warrant at his house and located “jackets, boots, knives and firearms, including a Sig Sauer, Model P226, .40 caliber pistol with serial number U 625 627,” the affidavit states.
Over the next five days, the Indiana State Police crime lab tested the weapon, and “determined the unspent round located within two feet of [the girls’ bodies] had been cycled through Richard M. Allen’s Sig Sauer Model P226.”
Allen was at a total loss to explain how an unused bullet [sic] ...

Biden's master plan for the border is to take highly trained Air Marshals off of 99% of flights during the biggest air travel time of the year and put them on the border to take illegals to the hospitals, make them sandwiches, and act as babysitters.
“The rank and file air marshals are going to refuse to deploy and risk termination,” said David Londo, president of the Air Marshal National Council, in a phone call with the Washington Examiner on Tuesday. “You’re almost going to have a mutiny of a federal agency, which is unheard of.”

Just this week, air marshals pulled from planes and sent to the border were "heating up sandwiches," driving immigrants in custody to the hospital and waiting inside for hours on hospital watch, and effectively babysitting adults who are already in confined spaces, Londo said.

Between this, the baby mamas, and the vulnerability to the abortion charges, I’m wondering if the GOP and Trump were just so enamored by celebrity potential and exploitable race that they failed to do any basic vetting at all. Either that or Team Swamp knew and wanted this outcome.
This is ridiculous, and to be just finding out about it now is inexcusable. And pointing out how Democrats do it misses the point. Anyone who doesn’t realize they don’t have to play by the rules is negligently naive, and besides, “our side” is supposed to walk the talk.

That ain’t how the mob works. They make everybody pay a price…that’s why I don’t respect it.” [More]

Last week I discovered The Woodland Escape YouTube channel, created by Peter Kelly and Catherine Wolfe up in Ontario, Canada. I've been binge watching it since then. They've put out some great content on 18th and 19th Century living history. This morning I watched this one on what he carries in his shooting pouch and also about making them:
This is the kind of content that The History Channel should be showing, instead of Ancient Space Alien Nazis on the Dark Side of the Moon. Two thumbs up!
Yesterday I got out to the range again with my flintlock longrifle for some more practice.
My shooting was frankly, bad, due to poor follow through. Black powder guns in general, but flintlocks in particular, require you to maintain your form after you pull the trigger because the lock time in slow. The 41.5" barrel of this rifle compound the need for follow through even more.
I had a hard time with all that yesterday. After shooting a rather crummy offhand group on p...

1) The crime scene is amazingly complex. I have spent hours doing crime scene for a single murder in a fairly pristine crime scene. I cannot imagine what a four-murder scene would be like to work.
2) Small town police departments don't often see this type of crime. This isn't a criticism of the police in Moscow, but the simple fact is that they don't work this type of crime very often. They know the theory, but putting it into practice takes experience. They want to get it right, so they called in help, from the Idaho State Police and the FBI. This is common practice.

Capitol Police, FBI uncover new potential deadly risk to female officers from body armor
The U.S. Capitol Police alerted its rank-and-file this month that FBI lab testing of long-approved body armor has uncovered a previously unknown flaw that can subject female officers to deadly ricochets from bullets.
The advisory, obtained by Just the News, revealed that the FBI first detected the problem, known as the “skip effect,” when it “departed from legacy testing protocols in a desire to test body armor in an ‘as worn’ condition, and to account for various body shapes and sizes.”
“The testing revealed that when a projectile strikes the female body armor at an extreme angle on the upper chest area, the projectile does not penetrate the body armor, but rather, skips or deflects off the surface of the armor into the neck region,” the advisory explained. “Because of the angle at which female body armor lays when worn, projectiles may skip off the top center of the f...
