Photo of the totality my wife took with her SLR: There was some bright pink/ruby light at about 7 o'clock that was really cool. You can see a hint of it in the photo. Moment of totality looking West (From the VT side towards Plattsburgh NY) over Lake Champlain: If you zoom in, you can see Venus at 5 o’clock a little less than halfway between the eclipse and the mountains.

I hope so. If I could only change one NJ Gun Law, it would be to deep six any and all magazine restrictions. That law, in my opinion, has the greatest effect on gun owners in our state.

Look bro, a lot of us miss Zeke, but self harm is not the answer, and Jones-townsing relatives is just wrong.

I’d like to buy that Sheriff a beer.

Did we cover the Mayor of Englishtown's response to Platkin's sticker yet?: https://twitter.com/DFrancisco7/status/1773161575475532275

I'm getting my orange blockers ready

Actually.... It was the Ramapo fault.

I'm doing my part. I just ordered some 10 rounders for the DWXc that I'm buying. Murphy's law dictates that the law is reversed as soon as I get them.

For those who do not have experience with two way radio beyond GI Joe walkie-talkies, y'all need to understand something if you are planning on using radio comms in a SHTF scenario. A single $30.00 BeefWang is not going to save you from anything. You need a plan, base stations, repeaters, mobiles and a network of trained (and trusted) individuals to support a SHTF comms scheme.

Thought I'd throw up a few pics from my trip this morning. Signed up for membership last month, the place is awesome. Weather was perfect this a.m.

I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism. 1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that. 2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar. 3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty. It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters. 4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events. This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack.

An AI bot couldn’t have said it any better!

There's a few things I noted on the website that's important to consider: Red Flag 1: Exclusion of Pending Applications The state demanded pending applications not be included. Red Flag 2: Exclusion of Application Date vs. Issue Date The state didn't report the application date versus the issue date . Red Flag 3: Exclusion of Demographics Demographics by locality was not provided even though the state has this on the municipality level. What's even more interesting is the fact they actually have this information. So not only were the towns instructed to not include pending submissions, the state intentionally didn't want to share it with us. They also only displayed demographics on county level by the way which was probably done intentionally (you can't find out town by town). They also don't show approval/denial rates by age or race. This is the spreadsheet every municipality had to submit: https://www.nj.gov/oag/dcj/agguide/directives/ag-Directive-2023-02_Appendix-A.xlsx for those interested. The tabulation we created can be found here: https://www.njnics.com/ptc.php

Critical Duty has the Hornady H logo on the polymer tip. Critical Defense does not.

When a pearl necklace just isn't enough.

These Libtards really are morons. They leave a screwed up state and then vote for the same bullshit when they move to a state that they thought was a great place to live. "Stupid is as stupid does".

Nice! I saw this on a door in Sodus Bay, NY when we were up there watching the overcast that had an eclipse behind it on Monday. Much of upstate NY feels the same way about the nonsense that comes out of Albany and NYC.

squint your eyes!

Clouds cleared for a little bit, and we managed to see the totality.

Standard capacity mags for the win.

Yea, No. Not gunna do it, not going to jam a handgun with an unguarded trigger into my pants. Didn't need the state statute to tell me it's a bad idea.

Very interesting research has been done recently on the "self-healing" concrete recipe developed by the ancient Romans. It helps explain the longevity of so many of those ancient Roman structures, but also carries broad implications for the future... in construction, environmental concerns, etc. The Secret to Making Concrete That Lasts 1,000 Years | WIRED

Good Morning and Happy Easter to all.

Happy Easter to one and all here! Now that Christ is risen, I pray he helps us save our great nation!

Golly, Tex Finn here.

Gallows humor.

I think some of you are over thinking this.

Yup, Tammy Murphy’s campaign is OVER: https://www.insidernj.com/tammy-murphy-throws-in-the-towel/
