Tommy Gun Chambered In 30-06 Springfield

tommy gun chambered in 30 06 springfield

The Thompson submachine gun is undoubtedly one of the most iconic SMGs of the 20th century, which proved to be an extremely effective tool whether used as a broom in the trenches of WW2 or a typewriter on the streets of Chicago. No wonder they decided to further explore the potential of its design and developed a version chambered in .30-06 Springfield. This one-of-a-kind experimental Tommy Gun in 30-06 is consigned to the upcoming December 2025 Rock Island Premier Firearms Auction.

Designed in 1943 by Auto Ordnance Corp, this beast is a select-fire rifle with a 23-inch barrel and weighing 17 pounds unloaded. It is based on a Model 1928 Thompson SMG and appears to be built on a standard trigger housing. The upper receiver is four inches longer than a standard SMG receiver to accommodate the much longer cartridge and magazines. The gun uses BAR magazines modified to hold oil pads.

Sodom and Gomorrica: The Infant-Poaching Obsession

Documenting the West’s descent into Satanic receivership.

Homosexual ‘fathers’ poach baby for photo shoot in ritual mockery of motherhood

Gay men appear to have an unsettling fetish for poaching babies for themselves from women desperate for cash and then using them as props for Instagram photo shoots and TikTok videos.

Like this radicalizing image from a pair of twinks, one of whom is swaddling a newly requisitioned infant while wearing a hospital admission bracelet on his wrist, pressing it to his chest like he’s about to breastfeed.

Paradigm destruction in chart form
Excellent reporting, buttressed by visually captivating graphs fed by data collected by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), demonstrates that the rate of transgender self-identification among American students has halved since its peak in 2023.
Via Unherd (emphasis added):
A surprising shift is taking place in the gender and sexual identities of young Americans. Data from my new Centre for Heterodox Social Science report, “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans”, shows that since 2023 both trans and queer identification have dropped sharply within Generation Z.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), which conducts a large annual survey of US undergraduates, polled over 60,000 students in 2025. My analysis of the raw data shows that in that year, just 3.6% of respondents identified as a gender other than male or female. By comparison, the figure was 5.2% in 2024 and 6.8% in both 2022 and 2023. In other words, the share of trans-identified students has effectively halved in just two years.

The precipitous decline in trans-identification was accompanied by similar declines in self-reported rates of anxiety and depression, as seen in a separate chart in the thread posted above.

The data would seem to confirm that, in fact, transgenderism is a social contagion that rises or falls in popularity based on social incentives and inputs, rather than anything arising from within the individual.

Per the chart, youth gender-queerness rates spiked substantially in the late 2010s, coinciding with a massive, coordinated propaganda campaign by corporate media, corporations, NGOs, academia, government, and the public school system.

Then, coinciding with the popular backlash that really ramped up around 2023, the rates tanked.

Which looks an awful lot like impressionable kids riding the waves of whatever trend du jour — monkey see, monkey do — and a lot less like the manifestation of deeply held, inborn gender identities being allowed to be expressed after years of heteronormative oppression of gender-queerness, as the progressive argument holds.

If, as the social engineers constantly claim, transgenderism is the deepest expression of the immutable true self, how could the rate among young adults vary so dramatically in just a couple of years?

Were all of the trannies rounded up for extermination camps or forcibly reconverted to normalcy?

Or did they simply change their minds?

Of course, the LGBTQ4GF150+++™ insanity isn’t going to be eliminated overnight — there’s simply too much inertia for that to occur in any other way than gradually.

But all signs point to a massive sea-change in progress.

I think it’s quite possible she got her set of talking points mixed up.

Yes. I am much more concerned about how Maine allows non-citizens to be police occifers

Illegal Immigrant Lands Police Job in Maine—Then Tries to Buy a Gun

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested an illegal immigrant and Jamaican national after he attempted to purchase a firearm for his work as a reserve police officer in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) flagged his attempted purchase on July 25th.

Evans legally entered the U.S. through Miami International Airport in September 2023 on a visa that required him to leave by October 1st, but he never did.

ICE has raised several concerns over how an illegal immigrant was able to secure a job as a police officer, according to Fox News. Patricia H. Hyde, the acting field office director for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston, said, “This case raises serious concerns. We will continue working to ensure that individuals who violate immigration laws and pose potential threats to public safety are held accountable.”

Old Orchard Beach Police told Fox News they brought Evans on as a seasonal officer after he passed a full background check, physical, medical screenings, and required law enforcement training. They then sent his paperwork to the Department of Homeland Security for verification, where they told the Department that Evans was eligible for work. His Employment Authorization Document listed an expiration date of March 2030.

The Old Orchard Beach Police Chief, Elise Chard, said:

Our department and our community relied on the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify program to ensure we were meeting our obligations. We are distressed and deeply concerned about this apparent error on the part of the federal government. We take our legal responsibilities very seriously. We intend to investigate this matter thoroughly and determine what additional steps may be necessary moving forward.

Maine is one of multiple states that allow non-citizens to work in law enforcement. As a seasonal officer, Evans would not be issued a service weapon.

Generation capacity hasn’t kept up.
Besides building more nuke plants, maybe they shouldn’t have shut down all those coal fired ones.

TVA urges power conservation as temperatures climb.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is asking all electric power consumers, including Hartselle Utilities customers, to voluntarily reduce electricity usage beginning today as extreme heat continues to strain the power system across the region.

The sustained high temperatures have created significant demand on TVA’s power grid, prompting the call for energy conservation to help ensure system reliability across its seven-state service territory.

Ty Chancellor, general manager of Hartselle Utilities, said customers can take several steps to help reduce demand. He encouraged residents to set their thermostats to 78 degrees or the highest temperature they can safely and comfortably tolerate. He also suggested turning off lights and unplugging electronics in rooms not in use, and delaying the use of large appliances such as washers, dryers and dishwashers until after the request is lifted. Additional measures include taking shorter showers to limit hot water usage and sealing windows and doors to keep cool air inside.

“These steps are vital to maintaining power system stability, avoiding service interruptions, and ensuring a reliable supply of electricity during this period of high demand,” Chancellor said.

“These procedures are precautionary measures to ensure the grid continues function appropriately during peak usage times,” he added. “TVA is continuously working to get additional generation online to assist with peak demand during this hot weather period.” 

The request applies to all residential, commercial and industrial power users in the region. Additional resources for saving energy and lowering electricity bills are available on TVA’s EnergyRight Solutions website.

“By working together, we can help safeguard the power system and minimize the risk of outages for everyone,” Chancellor said.

I think that Operation Nitro Zeus never really ended.

Quip O’ The Day: ‘Cardboard factory’, suuuure

What the Hell Is Going on in Iran This Time?

Iran is on fire — literally, again — and nobody knows why. A massive power plant and a “cardboard factory” caught fire bigly in Iran over the weekend. But there is impressive new video of Iran’s port explosion from last week.

Iran International reported that a “series of incidents unfolded in Alborz Province, west of Tehran, on Saturday evening, including two fires, reports of an explosion, and a magnitude 4.0 earthquake, according to official statements and eyewitness accounts.”

Israeli action? Typical authoritarian regime attention to maintenance issues? God just doesn’t like the mullahs’ regime? Who knows.

For reasons yet unknown, the Montazer Ghaem power plant in Karaj, just west of Tehran, caught fire on Saturday. Here’s that video:


Those cooling towers make Montazer Ghaem look like it might be a nuclear power plant, but it burns natural gas and other fossil fuels.

Tehran posted undated video of the plant not on fire and claimed that there was nothing to see here, move along.

In the same province, also on Saturday, a “cardboard manufacturing factory” was seen burning brightly.

In 2025, an attorney for a government school district is able to make it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court defending exposing children as young as three years old to books about sexuality. Imagine going back in time to any point—even just a few years ago—and explaining that this is considered a serious argument.

What I find most remarkable about the exchange is the attorney’s acknowledgment that their intent is to “influence” children. He begins to explain that the goal is to install “civility,” which is the “natural consequence of being exposed to—” before he is cut off. Was he going to say that “civility” results from exposure to sexual content at a very young age? What could “civility” possibly mean here?

MR. SCHOENFELD: Pride Puppy was the book that was used for the pre-kindergarten curriculum. That’s no longer in the curriculum.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: That’s the one where they’re supposed to look for the leather and things—bondage, things like that, right?

MR. SCHOENFELD: It’s not bondage. It’s a woman in a leather—

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Sex worker, right?

MR. SCHOENFELD: No. That’s not correct. No.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: I thought—gosh, I read it.

JUSTICE BARRETT: It’s a drag queen in drag.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Drag queen in—drag queen?

MR. SCHOENFELD: So, correct. The leather that they’re pointing to is a woman in a leather jacket, and one of the words is drag queen in this—

JUSTICE GORSUCH: And they’re supposed to look for those?

MR. SCHOENFELD: It is an option at the end of the book, correct.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Yeah. Okay. And you’ve included these in the English language curriculum rather than the human sexuality curriculum to influence students, is that fair? That’s what the district court found. Do you agree with that?

MR. SCHOENFELD: I think, to the extent the district court found that it was to influence, it was to influence them towards civility, the natural consequence of being exposed to—

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Whatever, but to influence them.

MR. SCHOENFELD: In the manner that I just mentioned, yes.

Someone explain to me why the U.S. was sending money to the cartel in the first place.

Morgan County couple charged following botched at-home circumcision

MORGAN COUNTY, Mo. — A Versailles couple has been charged after attempting to circumcise their son at home.

Online court documents show Tyler Wade Gibson has been charged with abuse or neglect of child and unauthorized practice of medicine. Bailey Alexus Gibson has been charged with abuse or neglect of a child.

A probable cause statement from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department says the Division of Family Services (DFS) contacted them after receiving a report from Columbia University Hospital regarding a child who had been circumcised at home on Nov. 27. The procedure had not gone as planned, according to documents. The Gibsons took the child home on Nov. 28 against medical advice.

Morgan County deputies later spoke with the Gibsons at their home, who agreed to answer questions, according to court documents. Tyler Gibson told deputies he had performed the procedure using a utility tool. When asked if he had medical training, Tyler Gibson said he didn’t, but that he “had conducted research and prayed a blessing.”

Documents also state Bailey Gibson told deputies that she, Tyler Gibson and the child had been at the hospital for over four hours and had left because they were tired of waiting.

Bailey Gibson told deputies she assisted with the procedure, according to the probable cause statement, but had been hesitant about performing the circumcision. When deputies asked why they proceeded, documents say Bailey Gibson did not respond.

Documents say that Tyler Gibson was arrested following the conversation at the Gibson home. Bailey Gibson was taken into custody on Nov. 29, and the probable cause statement indicates five children were removed from the home by DFS.

The Gibsons are currently out of jail on bond.

BLUF
Over the last 4 years, the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.

Biden-Kamala Regime Burns $1 BILLION in FEMA Funds to Resettle Illegal Immigrants — FEMA Now Lacks Resources for Disaster Response!

As Hurricane Helene tears through the eastern seaboard, leaving devastation in its wake, the mismanagement of FEMA under the Biden-Harris regime is hitting home with deadly consequences.

The storm’s ferocious winds and torrential rains have claimed at least 190 lives, left millions without power, and trapped countless families in floodwaters across North Carolina and beyond. Entire communities have been cut off from vital resources, with citizens scrambling for help.

Yet, in the face of this national disaster, the Biden-Harris administration’s FEMA appears woefully unprepared.

Why? Because over the past two years, they have funneled more than $1 billion in taxpayer dollars away from American disaster relief efforts — and into the pockets of illegal immigrants.
