Thoughts on Today9/20/2019 There's been a ton of noteworthy events hitting the news the past week. Here's my thoughts on what's been going on:
Colt stops making AR-15s www.foxnews.com/us/colt-suspending-production-of-ar-15-for-civilians I was blown away to hear this. I think that Colt's really shot themselves in the foot here (no pun intended). They're claiming that it's due to market demand. That because there are so many AR-15s out there right now, that they really don't have any market incentive to produce more. I'm not really sure if I buy that or not. For starters, they're still making them for law enforcement and the military. Why is it that only civilian models are no longer being made? I've been told the reason they aren't making civilian models anymore is because they priced themselves out of a market. Maybe there is something to that. I've always found Colt firearms to be prohibitively expensive. Regardless though, doesn't brand loyalty really play a factor? And AR-15s have been flying off the shelves the past several years. Why does nobody else seem to be having a problem? That's why it makes me wonder if there isn't more to this; if it's a bowing to some sort of political pressure. I think that there's going to be a whole lot of others out there with similar suspicions, and I think they're going to start boycotting other Colt firearms as a result. I really don't think this was a wise decision for Colt. Hezbollah Spy Caught Scouting NYC foxnews.com/us/suspected-hezbollah-spy-targets-new-york-city This is the making of every other spy movie ever. A sleeper cell agent that's been operating within the US for 10 years, scouting potential targets and gathering information the entire time. He received explosive training, potentially attempted to assassinate a suspected Israeli spy. He showed up in the US in 2000. All the Blackface Scandals www.theblaze.com/news/justin-trudeau-blackface-scandal-grows-with-new-video Am I the only one out there who doesn't really think this matters? If somebody wants to paint their body a different color, who cares? How many movies have revolved around this (e.g. White Chicks, Tropic Thunder, etc.) I fail to see how this is in any way derogatory or racist to anybody. What I do think is interesting is how the Left finally has to tear themselves apart on this one. "Oh yeah, some of our guys have done that too." Somehow, major media seems to make it ok when they do it though. Siberian Smallpox Explosion https://www.foxnews.com/world/russian-lab-smallpox-explosion Russia seems to have a knack for accidental events of this kind. Remember the 2016 anthrax outbreak among Siberian reindeer? www.foxnews.com/health/anthrax-outbreak-in-russia-kills-child-sends-dozens-to-hospital Biological warfare is creepy. If you really want to delve more into the history behind current biological warfare and germ agents, I highly recommend reading Ken Alibeck or Richard Preston. Animals Matter Most foxnews.com/us/colorado-woman-places-wild-bobcat-in-backseat-just-feet-away-from-son-3-this-could-have-been-tragic Further proof that modern society views animals on the same level, if not above human life. What good mother would place a vicious animal right beside their 3 year old son? I really agree with Joel Salatin on this one. We've become so separated from the land - from how real life works - that we've developed a twisted view on animal life. When most peoples' daily interactions with animals only revolve around pets that are stuck in an apartment all day long, they think that every other wild animal out there is just the same as their precious Fifi.
