The kids stayed at my mom's last night, and my wife and I went to dinner. I told her it's nothing fancy, probably a step above Applebee's.
"Okay, but you know I like Applebee's."
"Yes, and I love that about you."
I can't believe he left out the most important reason to paint your rifle: it looks cool (especially if you actually use your gun).
Y'all really should be painting your rifles. Minus dry time, this took me all of about 10-15 minutes.
3 different shades of flat camo paint, all browns. Painted in downward-sloping diagonals.
Let that dry.
Then get a mesh laundry bag, cut one side and the bottom, wrap it around the rifle, clothespin it tight to the gun, and where you painted dark, go over it in light. Where you painted light, hit it with dark.
Pull the laundry bag back off, let it dry again.
That's it. That's the whole process.
You end up with something that wears well, breaks up the silhouette, and makes it less able to be spotted at a distance, particularly from concealment, e.g., an ambush.
Trippie Redd turned his $7.5 million Florida mansion almost entirely black.
The rapper bought the 18,923-square-foot home in Southwest Ranches in 2022. Sitting on roughly 4.6 acres, the property includes nine bedrooms, an indoor basketball court and an eight-car garage.
By 2024, its Mediterranean-style exterior had been dramatically transformed: the walls, roof and even the driveway were finished in black.
Trippie Redd calls it “The Black House.”
Beautiful day.
Driving with the family.
Windows down.
Music up.
Yelling to hear each other over the wind and music but still peaceful.
Good stuff.
With the "men pooping in peace" discourse this week, it seems prudent to remind you that the ultimate power move is the ole shit, shower, and shave combo. This is an elite, pro move. Amateurs shouldn't even try it.
I've probably tweeted too many times about the new neighborhood, but it really feels like how things should be, and it makes me realize how much we (mainly my kids) missed out on.
We had to teach the kids to go knock on doors to see if other kids can play. It seems so silly, but they couldn't do that before. My son is still a little hesitant, so he'll sometimes just play in the front yard hoping the kids across the street see and come out.
As happy as it makes me that they have that now, I so feel a little bad it took me this long to give it to them.
There's a lot of truth to #1, but as a society we tend to scoff at "I just know." But coming from people on the right, it often means, "It's always been this way and it works." The left wants you to analyze all of human history and explain why marriage should be between a man and a woman or why men and women serve different roles in society. "It just is," is a perfectly acceptable answer. YOU are the one proposing major societal changes. The burden falls on you to explain why we should change it, not on me to defend it.
It reminds me of this (fake) story about the monkeys. The "lesson" here is that anytime someone says, "That's how we've always done it," you should question it. And while I don't even necessarily disagree with that, you better be damn certain that what you're proposing isn't going to make things worse. There was a good reason for that behavior, even if you don't know what it is.
My wife and kids are out of the house until this evening, so I might go to the gun range and then quit work early and enjoy some peace and quiet.
It's been noted before, but all these discussions really drive home how progressivism is just a rejection of the past. We must always be moving forward, making progress. Even if something worked in the past, we can do better, because we are morally enlightened and, therefore, better people. If punishing people who break the rules results in more minorities being punished, then it's racist, and racism is bad, and we are better than that. Surely there are better solutions.
And the argument about "what is an American?" ties directly into this. The past is bad, and so America's past is bad. It is much easier for us to make progress if nobody holds the past dear. Anyone and everyone can be an American. It doesn't really mean anything. We must keep moving forward.
Reminder that the people who consider themselves your moral and intellectual superiors have spent the last week trying to solve the "what do we do with disruptive students?" problem as if it wasn't already solved long ago. They don't want simple, effective solutions, though.
Civic engagement involves much more than just voting in the presidential election every 4 years. Maybe we aren't "voting our way out of this", but that's mostly because most Americans don't even take voting that seriously.
But every time I hear someone say that, I wonder if he votes in EVERY election - primaries, midterms, local elections, etc. If you do, great! Most people can't even say they do that, though.
If you vote in all elections, how many local GOP meetings have you been to? How many times have you volunteered for a candidate or to be a poll watcher or poll worker? Have you ever run for office? Can you name your city council or school board members?
The truth is, we, as a country, are simply not engaged. And it's incredibly frustrating to see people who (I assume, though I may sometimes be wrong) have put minimal effort into actually fixing things complain that nothing can be fixed.
If you can't commit a few hours each month working to improve things, I'm sorry, I just don't understand how you think navigating the collapse will be any easier.
A neighbor kid is over.
Neighbor: I have a 200 IQ.
Son: No, you don't. Nobody has a 200 IQ.
N: Okay, I have a 50 IQ.
S: No. Then you'd be stupid. You're smarter than that.
N: What about 100?
S: 100 is normal.
I wonder how many other elementary kids know IQ ranges.
