Another HUGE crowd showed up for President Trump in Ohio today. The President isn’t even running for office and yet thousands turn up to see him in the middle of Ohio.
President Trump had another huge crowd at his rally, this time in Ohio.
The first online photograph is said to have been published by Tim Berners-Lee in 1992. It’s uncertain how many were actually able to see the image at that time, probably not that many. TFB’s Photo Of The Day is a lot more popular for sure. Here we do our best to focus on interesting high-quality images, like the “frozen” 105mm round above.
We see a gunner for 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment (1-4) “Quarterhorse,” 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division fires an M1 Abrams 105mm round as part of Gunnery Table VI crew qualifications at Świętoszów, Poland, August, 2021.
The 1-4 is were deployed to Poland in support of Atlantic Resolve. The persistent presence of armored and mechanized infantry units across Central and Eastern Europe sends a powerful message of commitment and reassurance.
Two PETA activists were deployed to the lonely early-morning Starbucks HQ in order to superglue themselves to display cases in protest of the 80 cents Starbucks charges customers who ask for a ‘vegan alternative.’
In a move underscoring the increasingly petty and unintentionally distracted behavior of climate activists, Starbucks was targeted for apparently killing our planet by asking patrons to pay eighty cents more for a vegan milk substitute in their seven-dollar seasonal latte. Their ‘beef’ is with the cows used to produce milk which, when excreting bodily waste and flatulence, contribute a significant amount of greenhouse gases according to environmental scientists.
But at the heart of the issue, which PETA won’t admit, is that their climate activist adherents are just too weak-willed to follow the church of green energy. Seduced by just a latte, it seems, energy-conscious consumers dispense with the pretense that they really ever cared. Apparently, animal rights extremists and global warming alarmists have much work to do in the battle of winning hearts and minds. They might wish to consider foregoing plans to introduce bug-based diets to American consumers and start with getting their reverent followers to order an espresso instead.
PETA marched into the status symbol’s headquarters in Seattle, chanting “save our planet, save the cows,” while suggesting that merely making vegan options more cost-friendly would have an impact on the greenhouse emissions they’re so distraught over.
There’s just one problem. For a group of bleeding hearts who portray themselves as acting on their love for animals and trusting the science, they’re not exactly telling people what the ‘science says.’ Lead researchers have indicated that, if one truly wanted to reduce methane from the dairy industry, slaughtering—not saving—dairy calves earlier is the method to obtain the desired results.
After about an hour of standing around glued to a glass counter, emergency responders were able to detach the attention-seekers and detain them.
At the end of the video, the female activist let forth a subtle warning to the responder working to remove her hand from the glass display case. “Looks like we’re going to be ending the live stream in just a few minutes as soon as we’re unstuck,” she said, adding “looks like they’re going to try to make sure we don’t get any chemical burns or injuries or anything like that. There have been a couple of spots that have not felt very good. And I am unstuck. Is that blood? I’m bleeding a little bit.”
On Thursday The New York Times investigative reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns released passages from their latest book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future.”
In the book the two claimed that GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy told Liz Cheney on a January 10, 2021 call that he would counsel Trump to resign before the end of his term.
When the claims within the book broke early in the news, McCarthy’s spokesman Mark Bednar refuted them saying, “McCarthy never said he’d call Trump to say he should resign.”
McCarthy himself called the claims about his conversations “totally false” when The New York Times reported on them earlier in the day.
Kevin McCarthy released a statement on Twitter following the NY Times report. He insisted the claims were false.
Then this happened…
Rachel Maddow leaked the private phone call on her show on Thursday night of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy with Trump-hating lunatic Liz Cheney on January 10, 2021.
During the call, McCarthy told Liz Cheney that he would counsel President Trump Trump to resign. This is exactly what the book reported. Liz Cheney released the call to the authors. And now Kevin McCarthy was caught in a lie.
This was not a surprise to those who follow Kevin McCarthy closely.
Steve Bannon and Boris Epshteyn covered the scandal on Friday’s War Room.
Steve Bannon, the former Trump strategist, delivered this warning to Kevin McCarthy.
Steve Bannon: Ther’s two choices. McCarthy’s got two choices. He either heaves to on a full MAGA agenda. FULL MAGA. That means he’s gotta stop this nonsense… As President Trump says, “No games!” None of the Nancy Mace crap down in South Carolina. None of the stuff against Joe Kemp. No going against MAGA candidates. So he’s either got to heave to 100% or he’s gone.”
Christina Bobb went in front of the Jan 6 Committee on Thursday and spent six hours answering questions about her actions on Jan 6. One key topic the Jan 6 Committee focussed on was why she tweeted out a picture of Mel Gibson on that day.
Christina Bobb was interviewed on The Joe Hoft Show Friday on the Real Talk Radio Network. Christina on Thursday spent six hours in front of the Jan 6 committee. None of the congressmen or women on the committee were present during her conference call interview.
Christina shared some of what she recalled about the interview with the Jan 6 Committee. She recalled calling their efforts an “inquisition,” and telling them that they were abusing their government positions to oppress their political opponents.
Bobb mention the fact that the only evidence they seemed to have that allegedly connected her to violence was a retweet of a Mel Gibson picture from The Patriot. What a load of BS. She got hauled before Congress to explain a retweet of a picture of Mel Gibson. Talk about an abuse of authority and attempt to cause fear in their political opponents.
Bobb attempted to point out the hypocrisy of the investigation compared to the violence against the White House while Trump was rushed to the bunker. She argued that the committee was abusing their authority and should be ashamed of themselves.
Christina shared the following about the interview.
They wanted to know why I tweeted a picture of Mel Gibson on the Patriot…
…[she shared something to the Committee like] We’ve been here six hours. I told you I was at the Capitol on Jan 6. I reported from the Cannon House Office Building and you never once asked me what I witnessed. Are you actually investigating the events of Jan 6?”
The attorneys said they were investigating the violence of Jan 6 to which Bobb replied:
No, you’re not. Because I was there and I could tell you what I saw. I saw what happened…You are not targeting the violence of Jan 6. You are targeting conservatives…
…I said well what about May of 2020 when President Trump had to go to the bunker of the White House because Democrat protesters had stormed the White House and they got far enought o the point where Secret Service said you have to go to the bunker? And then…Kamala Harris the very next day was tweeting out how to bail out these bad actors and then you have the audacity to support solitary confinement for these protesters for ten and a half months because they took a selfie at the Capitol. I said you should be ashamed of yourself.

I took an early spring canoe trip down a local river.
The day was going great, I ran some rapids and felt good.
I made a huge mistake and sunk my canoe in the freezing cold rapids, it started to blizzard, I had to make camp and camped under a tarp after falling in the cold spring water.
Come see how it all played out!

President Trump reminded the world today about the tweet he shared on Jan 6 that Twitter took down five minutes after it was shared. In it, the President asked his followers to go home peacefully.
President Trump tweeted a message on Jan 6 after it was reported that there was some violence at the Capitol that day. Before he even knew who was behind the riot, the President encouraged his followers to go home.
Most all the tweets that we shared after the election have been taken down by Twitter since they were posted. Many users accounts like President Trump’s and TGP’s Twitter were taken down after the election. The radical far-left management team would not allow Americans to share that the election was stolen.
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a rally in Delaware, Ohio, on Saturday, April 23, 2022, at 7:00 PM EDT.
Right Side Broadcasting Network is covering the speech live from Ohio.
THOUSANDS lined up early to see President Trump tonight in Ohio.
The battle over documents and e-mails in the Michael Sussmann case just got hotter.
Back in August 2017, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee, explaining how his firm was retained to gather “lots of facts about Donald Trump.” He admitted that Fusion GPS met with reporters leading up to the 2016 election to spread opposition research against then-candidate Trump.
The context of Perkins Coie’s retention of Fusion GPS was further explained in a book co-authored by Simpson and Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch. They documented an April 20, 2016 meeting with Mark Elias (Perkins Coie partner and counsel for the DNC/Clinton Campaign), where Elias requested their services for opposition research:
Fusion GPS is no longer an opposition research firm, and they weren’t hired to dig-up dirt against Trump. Instead, they would have you believe, after the phony dossier and the Alfa Bank hoax, that Fusion GPS was retained to provide legal advice to the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Remarkable.
Background
On April 6, Durham filed this motion to compel in the Michael Sussmann case, requesting the court require the production of “emails and attachments between and among” Perkins Coie, Rodney Joffe, and Fusion GPS. These emails and documents, according to Durham, “appear or involve or relate to” Fusion GPS’s provision of research and media services to Hillary for America, the DNC, and Perkins Coie. (Some documents had been produced pursuant to grand jury subpoenas dating back to the 2021.)
Today’s Filings
Faced with this pressure, today there was a flurry of filings from interested entities in the Sussmann case, seeking to intervene to petition the court to keep these emails and documents secret. The DNC, Rodney Joffe, Perkins Coie, and Hillary for America all filed motions to intervene and memorandums in opposition to Durham’s motion to compel.
Notably, we saw arguments to the court that Fusion GPS wasn’t retained for opposition research. Hillary for America, for example, asserted “attorney-client privilege and work product protection over communications and work product of its attorneys (at Perkins Coie) and their consultant (Fusion GPS).” In support of that motion, Hillary for America included declarations from John Podesta, Robby Mook, and their attorney, Marc Elias. Declarations which contradict the public record.
To prove my point, John Podesta declared that to his knowledge, Perkins Coie has “consistently maintained” confidentiality, despite the fact that Perkins Coie (Sussmann in particular) assisted in distributing to the press the materials and allegations prepared by Fusion GPS and other researchers. Compare Podesta’s declaration to Sussmann’s December 2017 testimony (h/t FoiaFan):
Not to be outdone, Robby Mook (Hillary’s campaign manager) told the court that he believed that contractors for Perkins Coie – which would include Fusion GPS – were providing “legal services and legal advice” to the Clinton campaign. Unfortunately for Hillary for America, Mook’s belief is insufficient for the purposes of privilege. As to the Mook’s “belief,” Stephen McIntyre has a good thread on how Mook pushed Trump/Russia allegations during the campaign.
Clinton lawyer Marc Elias also submitted a declaration, stating the role of Fusion GPS was to “provide consulting services in support of the legal advice” Perkins Coie and Elias were providing their clients. This contradicts the Elias’s own statements cited above.
Fusion GPS, in its filing today, made similar arguments: “Elias retained Fusion to expressly support his legal advice . . . and the retention specifically contemplated the need for such advice for potential and ongoing litigation.” This is the pattern of Fusion GPS, which previously refused to produce correspondence in the Alfa Bank (Fridman, et al.) case.

John Durham responded:
Special Counsel John Durham has “issued trial subpoenas to the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee.”
If they want to keep privileged Fusion GPS communications, they’re gonna have to do it under oath.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the awesome YHM Turbo K 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week we stayed indoors for some light reading on industry news and current events – a little like 6th grade home room. This week we are back out on the range testing wiped suppressors and POI shift – specifically the B&T STATION SIX9. How much is a bullet’s trajectory impacted when it passes through a series of hard rubber wipes? And is it a cause for concern? Let’s take a look.
SILENCER SATURDAY #225: Wiped Suppressors- POI Shift Concerns?
Help manufacturers, distributors, and dealers understand suppressor owners real needs and wants. Win prizes. Be cool.
BOLO:
I am up to over 500 dealers contacted in search of a few KAC QDC suppressors for review. Why? Because I love unique silencers and I have an obsessive personality. Would you rather I took up shoplifting Men’s Health magazines or chain smoking Swisher Sweets? I didn’t think so.
I continue to be impressed with the NFA industry – after cold calling hundreds of dealers, I have about an 80% response rate, several of which have offered to go above and beyond to help with my search. I wish I could list them all, but I will post a few every week. Please support:
Be on the lookout for the following KAC QDC models needed for future Silencer Saturday reviews:
KAC QDC 556 – PN: 30123
KAC QDC 556 CQB – PN: 30192 (purchased)
KAC QDC 762 – PN: 111671
KAC QDC 762 CQB – PN: 30179
KAC PRS/QDC 762 – PN: 111672
KAC DSR /QDC 762 – PN: 32326
KAC 300BLK DSR – PN: 111078
KAC 5.56mm QDSS NT4 – PN: 96062-1 (purchased)
KAC MAMS 556 Brake – PN: 30168 (bought a used one, I would like to find a new one)
I will pay a finders fee for any that are reasonably priced and are ready to transfer on a form 3. I reserve the right to deny phallic insults, wax models, and crude photographic depictions. [email protected]
SILENCER SATURDAY #225: Wiped Suppressors – POI Shift Concerns?
SILENCER SATURDAY #225: Wiped Suppressors- POI Shift Concerns?
The STATION SIX9 is the quietest host/suppressor combination I’ve ever shot. The sound of the bullet hitting the backstop is much louder than the actual report of the round. Of course, to be crowned as the Silent King, the SIX9 utilizes a sealed manual repeater action and a suppressor that uses polymer wipes as baffles. As the bullet passes through the thin slits in the wipes, the expanding gasses are trapped, keeping nearly all the noise, flash and smoke inside the suppressor.
As you can imagine, a bullet squeezing its way through four polymer baffles may have an effect on accuracy. This question is, are we looking at a point of impact (POI) change that is measure in inches or feet? I will relent the fact that this is a close quarters weapon with a useful range of no more than 15-20 yards. Even so, it is important to understand POI shifts in each of your gun/suppressor setups. Whether hunting, defensive use, or just target shooting, there is no downside to understanding any potential shifts when shooting with a suppressor.
The STATION SIX9 pistol comes standard with a wiped suppressor but an additional training suppressor can be purchased separately. The training suppressor uses a traditional baffle structure – we’ll use this as our control group and compare it with the POA/POI observations for the wiped suppressor.
SIX9 – Training Suppressor – 15 yards – 9 shots
SILENCER SATURDAY #225: Wiped Suppressors- POI Shift Concerns?
I definitely pulled my first shot, which is the hole on the bottom edge of the target. For a pistol with a very short sight radius and an average shooter on the trigger, I think the SIX9 grouped pretty well.
SILENCER SATURDAY #225: Wiped Suppressors- POI Shift Concerns?
With four new wipes I squeezed off a full magazine into a fresh target. Again, I pulled my first shot, which is on the bottom edge of the target. The groups were equally as tight as the rounds fired through the training suppressor. There is a noticeable four inch shift to the left, but consistency was retained.
Observations
I honestly expected the group pattern to open up significantly when using the wiped suppressor. After all, each bullet has to pass through four polymer wipes and each successive shot degrades the wipes, creating irregularities in the surface that contacts the bullet. I think the accuracy from the SIX9 wipe suppressor is about as good as can be expected. Good enough for government work if you ask me.
Thanks for reading. Be safe, have fun, and we’ll see you back next weekend for another Silencer Saturday.
