"If this were a criminal trial in an ordinary court, and Mr. Schiff had done what he just did on the floor here and start talking about crimes of bribery and extortion that were not in the indictment, it would have been an automatic mistral.
From the White House Counsel, following Adam Schiff’s testimony mentioning crimes of bribery and extortion that were not in the indictment:
“If this were a criminal trial in an ordinary court, and Mr. Schiff had done what he just did on the floor here and start talking about crimes of bribery and extortion that were not in the indictment, it would have been an automatic mistrial.

It took only two hours today on January 25, 2020 for the President’s legal team to dismantle an impeachment effort that had been three years in the making.
Great job, guys! Trump wins again, and we’re still not tired of winning!
Since my mother was found bludgeoned to death and robbed of over $4,000 while under the care of Visiting Angels, I have to agree that Visiting Angels are not angels at all.
This company has as great name, but a dark record.
Beware of using Visiting Angels to care for your loved ones.

Without presenting evidence or naming an actual crime, they have done it: Democrats have voted to impeach the President of the United States of America.
May God have mercy on our Country when 216 Democrat members of Congress can overturn the will of 63 million Citizen voters.
Today is another day that will be remembered in infamy.
Category: Homefront|Comments Off on Tile and Grout: How Not To Do It To Yourself when you Do It Yourself
You can learn a lot by doing things wrong the first time.
Lessons learned when installing/refinishing tile flooring and walls:
Using a Dremel tool (Model 400 with ceramic tile accessory) is expensive, loud and slow. A DAP grout saw blade is cheap, quiet, fast and very effective. When it is elegance versus brutality, brutality usually wins.
Mixing un-sanded grout before watching (one of many) You-Tube videos to learn ‘how thick’ the grout needs to be prior to application results in re-work. You-Tube is your friend for all kinds of DIY projects. Follow the mixing directions. The ending grout blend consistency should be like a paste that falls from your trowel after three shakes.
Use a grout float and a margin float in corners to apply with pressure at 45 degree angle to the tile lines.
Letting newly-applied grout dry and cure without sponging off the excess within an hour or so is a preview of Dante’s Inferno or like Sisyphus rolling a rock up a hill. Not fun.
Muriatic acid (used for pools, available at Home Depot and swimming pool supply stores) eats grout, stinks like Hell and saves a lot of floor scraping / grout sawing. Used as a clean-up solvent applied with a sponge (see #3 above) it’s a good thing to know about in case you are like me and skip a few installation instructions.
Start new flooring in the center with a chalk line for the first alignment tile. Use polymer spacers to keep the rest of the project square. Rent a water-cooled tile saw to rim the edge pieces at the perimeter.
Do not underestimate the value of a waterproofing grout sealer. I hope to find such a formula that will prevent me from ever having to do this again.
The speech is long — 6,000 words long. One can measure the excellence of the speech by the apoplexy it has induced among the lunatic left. They are intoxicated with impeachment mania. Insofar as Barr articulates a true understanding of “the Resistance” and a profound critique of the administrative state, Barr must be destroyed. I read the speech to reflect the true thoughts of a scholar and experience practitioner at the highest levels of government who feels free — and feels compelled — to speak his mind
Category: Homefront|Comments Off on The Suzuki RM400 Experience
The ultimate dirt bike was the Suzuki 400, fitted with a piston that put the compression ratio above a measurable compression range.
There were two Dont’s with this bike:
Don’t use the kick starter
Don’t use the seat
Using the kick starter resulted (twice) in broken legs. We now use a tow strap to compression-start the beast with a pickup truck.
Sitting on the seat resulted in the bike flipping you off the back when you cranked the throttle. Sitting on the gas tank in front of you gave you a chance to accelerate while remaining in control of the bike.
It was wild.
I remember zooming across a field at about 70 mph and hitting full throttle.
The bike (me on the gas tank, standing on the foot pegs) went vertical and accelerated to about 85 mph.
Good times are often terrifying.
This was a good time!
The Suzuki RM400 was a terrifying beast to ride … but I would do it again, if given a chance!
Category: Homefront, Ingenuity|Comments Off on From Earth to the Moon: The Eagle has Landed
I watched the television coverage of man’s first step on the Moon in 1969 from an Estes Park, Colorado camp ground club house. That step was a moment that defined the potential of America to the World.
Well done, America. I salute you.
No other country on Earth has matched your success.
“A prominent urban myth in North Texas, screaming bridge has been visited by many locals over the decades. From teenagers out having fun to paranormal investigators, the story draws many in search of their own screaming bridge experience. Trying to hear the screams of the departed has been a ritual of passage for many Arlington teens.”
In the mid 1970’s I had heard that legend and still cruised to that area.
Many times.
Once as a passenger in the back seat of my buddy’s Mustang, I had to scream myself to get him to stop our car as were speeding toward the “Death Crossing”.
After dusk you could see the dark horizon, but that night the horizon was moving. What appeared to be the horizon was moving from East to West. We skidded to a stop with only feet to spare to avoid a collision with a freight train.
On another night, I rode with another driver on the same road when he over steered a corner and we rolled his ’66 Plymouth Barracuda in mid-air off the left side of Mosier Valley Road.
With no seat belts, we both experienced weightlessness as the car spun downward – hitting the ground first on it’s passenger side and coming to rest on all four wheels. It was Mark’s first car. And it was totaled. (Sad story after so many years his sister had taken such good care of it before it was his.)
The Death Crossing at Screaming Bridge almost killed me twice.
Thanks to the TheBoneyard.org for researching and posting the origins of the legend.
It was tough to survive being a teenager then; I suspect that it’s not easy now, either.
Thankfully, I can only recall about 8 or 9 near death experiences in my life.
Tijuana is not the murder capital of the world, but it does rank number 5 .
Helpful hints for not being murdered:
Stay away from drugs; drug users; drug traffickers; drugs in general
Do not drink alcohol to excess, and do not visit bars
Do not associate with unknown women in any “after hours” situation
Stay in an area where there is a visible Policia Municipal presence, but do not trust the Policia Municipal or the Policia Federales for your protection.
Do not walk alone; stay with your group
Keep a watch for potential stalkers on your movements; use Surveillance Detection Routines (SDR) to spot potential followers.
Although you may never need it, it is advisable to have a plan and the means to kill everyone in sight if things go pear-shaped.
Category: Guns, Pr0n|Comments Off on Range Report: Ruger Mini-14 Tactical with Trijicon ACOG TA31F and Gemtech SHIEILD Suppressor
Ruger Mini-14 Tactical
A good day at the range with the new Mini-14 Tactical model from Ruger.
It arrived last week, together with a Gemtech SHIELD suppressor and a Gemtech Quick-Mount Flash hider.
All were assembled and carried to my favorite Cabella’s store in Fort Worth for some optics. A Trijicon 4×32 (TA31F) was installed.
Thanks to some bore-sighting assistance at the Alpine shooting range in Ft Worth, I zeroed the sights at 30 yards (using to 300 meter Reticle markings). I then moved to the 100 yard range. The 30 yard zero was confirmed at 100 yards and 20 more rounds were sent down range.
Shot groups varied from three fingers to width-of-hand at 100 yards. Close enough.
With a 100 yard zero, the Trijicon TA31F rifle sight has holdover indicators for 200 to 800 meters. The sight has measurement bars that indicate a standard silhouette target with 19″ shoulder width at various ranges for distance measurement.
Target acquisition is intuitive and fast with this optic and rifle combination.
The next accessories to arrive are the Here’s a pic with the Harris #14 bipod mount and a Harris Benchrest 6-9″ Bi-Pod.
This is now my newest favorite rifle, until the fully automatic AC-556 transfer is approved by the ATF.
I currently list 13 hand guns with a retail value of $14,393 and 16 long guns with a retail value of $51,231.
Orders are usually available for local pickup or shipment to your FFL in five to seven business days.
