‘Not sure what to do…………’

Texas couple who ordered surplus gun cases get fully automatic surprise

Agents inspecting a green box full of rifles

Federal authorities are investigating after a couple in Houston, Texas who purchased a lot of 100 gun cases from a military surplus website ended up with a surprise inside one of the boxes: fully automatic M16 rifles.

The couple say they assumed they were buying empty rifle cases, and were hoping to turn around flip the products on eBay, but when they were going through the cases after they’d been delivered, a friend cracked open one of the boxes and discovered it was chock full of select-fire rifles.

The couple found at least a dozen fully automatic M16s designed strictly for military use.

Not sure what to do, they reported it to authorities.

Within hours, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives seized the single box and quickly got a search warrant for the storage unit containing 100 more. Experts were shocked by what they found.

“It’s almost surreal to believe something like that happen nowadays. It’s incredible,” said retired Houston police captain and former Marine Greg Fremin. “It’s unbelievable to think weapons of that grade, military-grade weapons, would be shipped in containers would be shipped across state lines and somebody have access to that. It’s pretty shocking,”

Fremin says the military carefully tracks all its weapons, because any misplaced weapons can be extremely dangerous.

“For these boxes to have M16s in them and being shipped to a public destination, not only is it shocking, it’s a federal crime,” he said.

Apparently the military isn’t tracking their weapons as carefully as Fremin says they are, since at least a dozen of them ended up first at a military surplus store before being sent on to unsuspecting customers in Texas.

In fact, the Associated Press ran a pretty big story just last year pointing to the theft of at least 1,900 military firearms from 2010-2019; guns that in many cases the military had no idea were missing until they were found at crime scenes.

Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships, firing ranges and other places where they were used, stored or transported. These weapons of war disappeared because of unlocked doors, sleeping troops, a surveillance system that didn’t record, break-ins and other security lapses that, until now, have not been publicly reported.

… Weapon theft or loss spanned the military’s global footprint, touching installations from coast to coast, as well as overseas. In Afghanistan, someone cut the padlock on an Army container and stole 65 Beretta M9s — the same type of gun recovered in Albany. The theft went undetected for at least two weeks, when empty pistol boxes were discovered in the compound. The weapons were not recovered.

Even elite units are not immune. A former member of a Marines special operations unit was busted with two stolen guns. A Navy SEAL lost his pistol during a fight in a restaurant in Lebanon.

The Pentagon used to share annual updates about stolen weapons with Congress, but the requirement to do so ended years ago and public accountability has slipped. The Army and Air Force, for example, couldn’t readily tell AP how many weapons were lost or stolen from 2010 through 2019. So the AP built its own database, using extensive federal Freedom of Information Act requests to review hundreds of military criminal case files or property loss reports, as well as internal military analysis and data from registries of small arms.

The AP admitted that their totals are almost certainly an undercount, but without ready access to DoD documents it’s impossible to know for certain how many military weapons “disappeared” over the course of the decade.

The big question now is whether or not these particular M16s were “lost” or whether someone was attempting to steal them, though I’d also be interested in knowing if these rifles were ever reported missing, or if their discovery by the couple in Houston came as a surprise to military officials as well. Either way, it’s not a good look for Uncle Sam, and I suspect the Biden administration is going to be less than forthcoming about what the ATF’s investigation ultimately reveals.

More SloJoe senility on display

Joe Biden Gets Uncomfortably Lost and Confused at Globalist Conference

….To be sure, Biden has done this before. After all, this is the same guy who had to be led away by the Easter Bunny at the White House last Spring. For my money, this is the worst episode yet, though. He legitimately doesn’t seem to understand where he’s at and where he’s supposed to go.

And while some might say this could happen to anybody, I’d contend that stretches credibility. Normal people do not meander around a stage, staring in random directions while someone else is addressing them. Normal people do not have to be guided down by handlers, which is what looks like is happening as he points, seeming to ask where he’s supposed to be. In short, it is not difficult to walk off a stage. That Biden continually makes it so hard is evidence of his senility.

Cue the “fact-checkers” to claim that he was really just “greeting” people, but no one who watches that video with a fair mind would come away thinking that’s what happened. He’s confused, and it’s obvious he’s confused. That he gets confused while someone else is addressing him makes it all the worse as a visual exercise……….

Things like this take on a special significance when Biden is overseas, appearing on the national stage. Adversaries of the United States see this stuff and they do not fear this man. In fact, if recent Iran and Russian behavior is any indication, they fully believe they can take advantage of him. There are real consequences to having a president who doesn’t appear to actually be functioning as the president. Hopefully, voters figure that out if Biden is crazy enough to run for re-election.

Well, he’s senile. Just look at his face, how he always has his wife at his side to guide him along as he walks and how he acts.  What would anyone expect?

Biden Shames America and Insults the Crown With His Behavior at the Queen’s Funeral

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II has filled the news for a couple of weeks, and one of the parlor discussions regarding her funeral ceremony involved whether former President Donald Trump was snubbed from attending, either by the Royal family or by current President Joe Biden. As it turns out, there was no backroom drama concerning the appearance, as a US embassy official has clarified that the heavy interest and select seating meant that only Biden and his wife would be in attendance.

This, of course, did not prevent speculation in the press, both regarding Trump being allegedly blocked and what political maneuvering Biden might have employed with regard to inviting his predecessor to the affair.

Look, nobody is going to argue that Donald Trump is the very model of social decency. He may, in fact, be the polar opposite of a contemporary David Niven, for example. But even while he is not thought of as being the picture of a Modern Major Gentleman, Trump could be told what not to do and to comport himself at least in an acceptable fashion.

And as we then saw during the lengthy proceedings of the burial ceremony, Trump could hardly have been more embarrassing than President Biden on this solemn day. The first issue was that Biden felt the need to buck the Royal directives regarding the ceremony. Almost all of the world leaders and foreign dignitaries in attendance followed the delivered protocols and rode to the church in the assigned motor coaches set up for their arrival.

This was not a debasement of authority. Leaders of foreign lands and royalty were carried in on the buses, including Prime Ministers and Kings. Biden, however, filed for and received a dispensation. He was later granted permission to arrive in his presidential limousine and motorcade; the reason for this was not given, [I’ll opine, he’s so mentally gone that no one dare have him in contact with anyone for any longer than absolutely necessary] but the appearance was notably gauche and crass in contrast.

Then Biden managed to pull off his usual crudeness and arrived at the chapel 30 minutes late. This has become a trademark of this president. Whether it be a planned event, social appearance, or scheduled press conference, Biden is consistently extremely late for proscribed start times. He even was notably tardy at a global conference and was chastised over this by the very unrefined Boris Johnson, of all people. For Biden to do this at a Royal funeral ceremony is beyond embarrassing on an international scale; boorish behavior on the world stage.

When it came time to sign the official condolence guest book, again, Biden managed to turn heads – in the same manner as a dog twitching its head when presented with something unforeseen. As he sat to fill in his solemn respects, he did so while working off one of his now infamous note sheets. He could not somehow deliver genuine feelings – he had to work off a prepared statement.

Due to their late arrival, the president and first lady were seen awkwardly standing in wait at the back of the church for a period of time, prevented from immediately taking their place in the pews as the ceremony was already commenced. Eventually came the time for their seating, and they were placed some 14 rows back, away from many of the other leaders who managed to make their arrival at the appointed time. 

Then, just to add to his glaring insensitivities, upon his arrival, President Biden acted in his traditional imbalanced behavior. As he and Jill were striding to the church steps, Joe decided to give one of the church patrons a poke in the stomach.

The action itself is just bizarre and disrespectful, but it is also a violation of church decorum. As the press has roundly insisted that Joe Biden is a devout and serious practitioner of Catholic structure, he should be well advised that you do not touch any members of the clergy. Aside from an offered handshake, it is understood that touching the individuals or their vestments is not done. Why a grown man would see the need to prod another adult in the belly is beyond understanding.

This entire display by our president was a shameful gaffe-fest, and it was noticed by many others abroad. Recall that we were told repeatedly that Trump was bringing shame to the U.S. in the eyes of other nations – where are those same global social critics when it comes to Biden repeatedly displaying odd behavior? It is a convenient dodge as they see him displaying all the behavior they promised Trump would enact.

U.S. Forces Ordered to Stop Using Gender Pronouns to Improve ‘Lethality’
Pacific Air Force base bans references to gender, age, and race

A division of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), the branch tasked with confronting China, has ordered its senior leaders and commanders to stop using gender pronouns in written formats, saying the shift to more neutral language will help improve the fighting force’s “lethality.”

“In accordance with the Diverse PACAF priority, ‘We must embrace, promote and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion,” states a May email sent to senior leaders and commanders at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, which operates under the Pacific Air Forces, according to a partial copy of the order obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

A spokesman for the Anderson Air Force Base confirmed the authenticity of the email, telling the Free Beacon that the Air Force is shifting “to a narrative writing format for awards and performance reports.” The ban on “pronouns, age, race” and other written descriptors is “intended to eliminate any information that could identify the nominee’s name, gender, age, or race so that all members had a fair and equal chance at winning.”

The Andersen air base, the spokesman said, specifically “developed local quarterly award guidance to ensure each nominee was considered without the potential of unfair biases.” Leaders at the base are “continually working to remove barriers and [are] dedicated to ensuring all members have the opportunity to excel.”

The email goes on to list “authorized” and “unauthorized” examples of pronoun use.

The “unauthorized examples” include: “He/She did,” “Best male/female,” “Youngest/Oldest,” and “Sergeant Murray.” The list of “authorized examples” include: “This sergeant,” “This NCO [Non-commissioned officer],” and “This member.”

“Unleashing the potential of diversity and inclusion at all levels is a Pacific Air Forces’ priority and something we strive for at Andersen,” the spokesman said. “Diversity and inclusion are force multipliers and warfighting imperatives that enable our competitive advantage against near-peer adversaries.”

Rebeccah Heinrichs, a defense policy expert and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute think tank, told the Free Beacon that the Pacific Air Forces’ intense focus on pronoun issues is “a giant sucking waste of time.”

Military leaders who should be focused on defending the United States from an ever-increasing array of threats—particularly in the Pacific, where China is flexing its military might—are instead spending valuable time thinking about rules on proper pronoun use.

“It is painful to think about the amount of time servicemen have already spent writing these rules instead of figuring out how to beat China,” Henrichs said. “Somebody needs to remind DoD leadership that they’re in the business of preventing and winning wars and not in the Oberlin lounge.”

These transvestite ‘drag shows’ are grooming events by homosexuals trying to make their deviancy appear somehow ‘normal’. The mothers who bring their children to these shows, I can’t understand, other than they’re modern pagans. Which also shows the direction where these antifagoons come from.

Texas Residents Push Back Against ‘Family-Friendly’ Drag Show Guarded By AR-Wielding Antifa Militia Members

Local residents of the small town of Roanoke, Texas were met with Antifa members wielding AR-15s outside a so-called “kid-friendly” drag “brunch” over the weekend. Inside the Anderson Distillery and Grill about dozen minors attended along with adults.

Outside, armed Antifa-types tried to bully locals from standing on the sidewalk out front to protest the event.

If organizers of the event hoped to win hearts and minds, they failed. Not only did the obese men dressed as caricatures of women fail to impress those in the community, calling locals “bigots” and “transphobes” for opposing the event didn’t help either.
