A Republican Texas lawmaker on Monday announced he will be introducing legislation to ban minors from attending drag shows.
State Rep. Bryan Slaton cited viral video of children attending a drag show at a 21+ gay bar in Dallas over the weekend.
“The events of this past weekend were horrifying and show a disturbing trend in which perverted adults are obsessed with sexualizing young children,” Slaton said in a statement. “As a father of two young children, I would never take my children to a drag show and I know speaker Dade Phelan and the rest of my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either.”
“Protecting our own children isn’t enough and our responsibility as lawmakers extends to the sexualization that is happening across Texas,” he added.
Joe Biden, who is totally compromised with China, is reportedly looking into reducing President Trump’s tariffs with the communist country. To date, every move Biden has made has helped China.
Joe Biden is reportedly looking into reducing tariffs with China. FOX News reports:
Joe Biden’s administration is considering a drawdown of tariffs on Chinese goods in an effort to combat record-high inflation in the U.S.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo confirmed the potential move on Sunday, saying Biden has personally asked her team to look into the issue. Inflation in the U.S. hit a 40-year high in March and is expected to escalate in the coming months.
Some of the tariffs, imposed by former President Donald Trump, affect household goods that could be purchased more cheaply from China. Raimondo previously praised some of Trump’s tariffs on China as “very effective.”
“We are looking at it. In fact, the president has asked us on his team to analyze that. And so we are in the process of doing that for him and he will have to make that decision,” Raimondo told CNN in an interview when asked about the issue.
FOX News is incorrect in its support for Biden. China reacted to President Trump’s tariffs by manipulating its currency to make the goods the relative same price as before the tariffs in the US. Any moves to reduce the tariffs only help China.
President Trump raised the tariffs in response to China stealing intellectual property from the US. Biden doesn’t care about this. We know this because he never talks about it. Biden rarely talks negatively about China.
All of Biden’s insane policies appear to help China while hurting the US. No public officials to date have the courage to call Biden’s actions treasonous. From stealing the election to preventing the production of oil in the US, Americans continue to suffer greatly under Biden.
Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm universe. Last week, we looked at the unique and exciting MK4 Carbine Upper Receiver Firearm, a joint venture between competitive shooter Wade Reed and MaddMacs Precision. A lot of you thought the design was quite inventive. In contrast, others kinda turned their noses up at it in favor of the already compact Ruger 10/22 Charger which does have the benefit of having a bit more modularity and magazine capacity but is undoubtedly much heavier and bulkier than the MK4 Carbine can be. Personally, I thought the MK4 Carbine was a neat idea and it would honestly be a great backpacking gun – especially if there was a way to get more than 10-rounds to a magazine in it. Loaded up with some hot ammo, the MK4 could be a great hunting or even a self-defense firearm in a pinch. Speaking of hot ammo, we’re back again this week doing another ballistic gel test, this time featuring CCI Stinger 36-grain Hollow Points. A lot of you had requested that we test out these hot little cartridges to see how well they’d perform out of a handful of firearms ranging from pocket pistols up to the 10/22 rifle. So today we’ll be taking a look at the data I collected for the CCI Stinger cartridge and see how it stacks up to our previous 22LR ballistic gel tests.
Just like before, we’ll be doing a raw data dump followed by a brief discussion of said data. We’ll also be using the same setup and firearms as last time for consistency. Some of you griped that I didn’t put a charger length barrel in there but the problem is the gel blocks don’t keep well and this makes storing multiple gel blocks a logistical nightmare (at least the homemade ones). We’re currently working on getting a hold of some Clear Ballistics 10% FBI spec gel blocks so you can also see into them better. For the time being, we’ll have to deal with the somewhat opaque homemade Knox Gelatin blocks I’m currently able to make. Like last time, we used four layers of 5.11 jeans as our stand-in clothing.
Test Results
Taurus 942:
Avg Vel: 1,028-fps
Max Vel: 1,051-fps
Min Vel: 989-fps
Extreme Spread: 62-fps
Std Dev: 27-fps
No. of Failures: 0
Min Penetration Depth: 16-inches
Max Penetration Depth: 16-inches***
Average Penetration Depth: 16-inches
Expansion: No rounds expanded**
Weight Retention: 100%
Similar to the CCI Velocitor 40-grain projectiles, the CCI Stingers didn’t have enough ass behind them to expand. Instead they simply just cruised through the gel block and straight into my Level III ballistic inserts and ended up getting deformed slightly. While penetration is good for the 22LR round in a self-defense situation, you’re dealing with a lot less mass here than either of the previous two ammo types we’ve tasted before so I think this might be your last choice for this particular gun with this specific ammunition. Worthy of note is that we are also seeing less standard deviation as well as a reduced extreme spread out of the Stingers than the Velocitors when fired out of the Taurus 942.
Ruger LCP II Lite Rack:
Avg Vel: 1,062-fps
Max Vel: 1,077-fps
Min Vel: 1,034-fps
Extreme Spread: 43-fps
Std Dev: 16-fps
No. of Failures: 0
Min Penetration Depth: 8-inches
Max Penetration Depth: 9-inches
Average Penetration Depth: 8.6-inches
Expansion: 0.3690-inches average expanded width
Weight Retention: 100%
I’m going to be honest, after doing a couple of these gel tests I was surprised that the CCI Stinger rounds actually managed to expand out of the tiny little barrel that the LCP II Lite Rack has. However, in contrast, the rounds did not penetrate to a sufficient depth and we only got an average of about 9-inches (two rounds curved out of the sides of the gel block). The expansion, on the other hand, was quite significant so I’m not really sure what to make of this. Expansion is good, but penetration might be more important. I’ll let you guys discuss it in the comments below.
Beretta 21A Bobcat Covert:
Avg Vel: 1,040-fps
Max Vel: 1,054-fps
Min Vel: 1,023-fps
Extreme Spread: 31-fps
Std Dev: 11-fps
No. of Failures: 0
Min Penetration Depth: 8-inches
Max Penetration Depth: 16-inches***
Average Penetration Depth: 8.5-inches (expanded rounds only)
Expansion: expanded rounds = 0.3535-inches, 3 rounds did not expand
Weight Retention: 100%
This was an interesting result and one that I’m actually kind of grateful for as it gives us a near-exact point at where CCI Stingers will start to expand. Out of the 5 rounds fired, only two expanded and we know from our test data that the two highest velocities were 1,054 and 1,045 feet per second. The next lowest velocity from there is clocked at 1,034 fps so we know that right around the 1,050-fps mark Stingers will start to expand when shot from a distance of 10 feet. Just like last time, despite the Bobcat Covert having a slightly longer barrel, it’s still getting a slightly lower average velocity than the LCP II Lite Rack.
Ruger 10/22 Carbine:
Avg Vel: 1,541-fps
Max Vel: 1,689-fps
Min Vel: 1,475-fps
Extreme Spread: 214-fps
Std Dev: 85-fps
No. of Failures: 0
Min Penetration Depth: 11-inches
Max Penetration Depth: 13-inches
Average Penetration Depth: 12.5-inches
Average Expansion: 0.3100-inches (two rounds fragmented)
Another interesting result in my opinion. The Stingers completely folded over on themselves into the forms you see below with two of the rounds actually fragmenting inside of the gel block and leaving the fragments somewhere around the 8-10-inch mark. It’s no wonder why these rounds are favored by hunters as these velocities combined with the weight and brief expansion period (which takes place over the first 5 inches or so of the target) make for an absolutely devastating effect on the target. Out of a rifle, we see that the rounds met the FBI penetration depth but unless you’re Andre the Giant, I don’t think you’ll be packing a 10/22 carbine in your pants anytime soon.
Conclusions
Keep in mind that these are indeed varmint loads intended to be shot from a rifle. That being said, I’m not completely disappointed in the results we got out of the LCP II and the Beretta Bobcat. I think out of something like the SIG P322 or the Taurus TX22, these rounds would perform much better while still giving you a concealable and lightweight package to defend yourself with.
The permanent wound cavity in the first 4-6 inches of the gel block produced by the expanding CCI Stinger
However, I have to wonder if the performance metric of expansion is worth the squeeze with a 22 caliber round. Even though the rounds did expand out of some of the pistols, they were still only managing to expand to sizes around what a 9mm ball round would be. Combine that with the relatively short penetration depth and you’re looking at some pretty piss-poor terminal ballistics if lethality is what you’re after.
With all the testing so far, I still begrudgingly think that the super expensive Federal Punch 22LR ammunition is the current king of defensive 22LR loadings. What about you? Is there a reason you’d pick either CCI Velocitor or CCI Stinger to pair with your 22LR pistol for self-defense? Let us know down in the comments. I’m currently trying to work up another batch of ballistics gelatin for some more tests and on deck for the next set of tests will be CCI Mini Mag, as well as some Winchester Silvertip 37-grain Segmenting Hollow Point ammunition. Like the Federal Punch, the Winchester Silvertip is optimized for short barrels, but unlike Punch, it also features a hollowpoint design. Stay tuned to The Rimfire Report to get a read on those test results in the coming weeks. As always, thanks for stopping by to read The Rimfire Report and we’ll see you again next time!
The world’s ruling elite will meet in secret this week. No press will be allowed in, no one will be interviewed about it, and Bilderberg will not even register as a blip on the mainstream media’s radar. As the media hypes gun control and abortion debates, bankers, politicians, military leaders, and information controllers will be discussing their plans for the world behind closed doors and with zero transparency.
The 68th annual Bilderberg Meeting, which has been held in locations around the world throughout the years, kicked off on Thursday in Washington D.C. with absolutely no press coverage at all and is set to end on Sunday, June 5. Despite a prestigious guest list of around 120 attendees — who will arguably have more of a global influence than any elected officials — the meeting will escape any scrutiny in the mainstream media.
In attendance at this year’s meeting are war criminals like Henry Kissinger, Albert Bourla the CEO of criminal pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Head of the CIA William J Burns, the Secretary-General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, GlaxoSmithKline CEO Emma Walmsley, Eric Schmidt the infamous former CEO of Google, and other heads of corporate media, foreign heads of state, and military officials.
According to the elite group of power brokers made up of people who forced vaccines, lockdowns, and tyranny on the entire planet for the last two years, the key topics for discussion this year at their secret event are:
1. Geopolitical Realignments 2. NATO Challenges 3. China 4. Indo-Pacific Realignment 5. Sino-US Tech Competition 6. Russia 7. Continuity of Government and the Economy 8. Disruption of the Global Financial System 9. Disinformation 10. Energy Security and Sustainability 11. Post Pandemic Health 12. Fragmentation of Democratic Societies 13. Trade and Deglobalisation 14. Ukraine
Nothing sinister at all about some of the largest purveyors of disinformation in the world meeting in secret to discuss a possible world war with China and Russia, while plotting how to silence speech they consider “disinformation.”
In what many would call a violation of the United States Logan Act, Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema will be in attendance. Sinema is a Democrat turned independent currently working with both Democrats and Republicans to push through gun control. She has openly expressed her support for the late warmonger John McCain and has repeatedly pushed for escalation in Ukraine.
As we’ve reported, former presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton both attended Bilderberg conferences in the years before being elected to the Oval Office. Tony Blair was on hand at the 1993 Bilderberg meeting before becoming prime minister of England in 1997, and Emmanuel Macron, the President of France attended in 2014 just prior to being elected.
What’s more, the 2008 conference is believed to be the catalyst for that year’s US presidential election: rumors suggest that attendees settled on backing Barack Obama for the Democratic Party nomination at that year’s event, only for contender Hillary Clinton to bow out two days later.
Bilderberg attendees must abide by Chatham House Rules, meaning that while participants can use the information received, they are barred from talking about any individual who may have steered their decisions.
Numerous bloggers and activists have suggested that based just on what is known already from public statements, simply attending a Bilderberg meeting should constitute sufficient grounds for immediate arrest and investigation of Americans.
In 2011, then-Congressman Ron Paul called for an investigation and noted that U.S. officials participating in the yearly gathering — specifically Texas Gov. Rick Perry at the time — were quite possibly breaking the law. “This information about him going over there and violating the Logan Act and getting involved, I’m just impressed that that’s in the ordinary media — I think that’s encouraging, too,” Paul said during an interview at the time, noting that Gov. Perry’s attendance was “a sign that he’s involved in the international conspiracy.”
Paul is not simply making this up either, the Logan Act clearly states, in part: “Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
To illustrate the scope of the group’s reach, Business Insider published a chart, showing all their ominous connections.

After peacefully serving his prison sentence related to the high crime of “burning a BLM flag” in Washington DC during a series of peaceful protests in December of 2021, former Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio got a visit from federal law enforcement officials in the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 8th.
According to local news reports, the Afro-Cuban political activist was dragged from bed and arrested in his underwear on charges related to a superseding indictment that is tied to 5 other Proud Boys in relation to the January 6th protests in Washington DC.
Tarrio was neither at the US Capitol during the protests or involved in any violence during that day. In fact he was not even in town that day. Yet, the FBI jackboots were sent by the Department of Justice to South Florida to carry out the early morning raid nonetheless.
Funny how local news knew where to be as FBI agents converged on Tarrio’s residence, we’re sure they didn’t get any advanced notice or access to sealed indictments.
On Monday the corrupt Department of Justice announced new made-up charges against Enrique Tarrio and four others.
Tarrio and four other Proud Boys were charged with “seditious conspiracy” for their actions on January 6.
That’s a new one.
Tarrio did not enter the US Capitol and was not even in town that day!
Federal authorities have charged Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the right-wing Proud Boys extremist group, and four co-defendants with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Tarrio, 38, is believed to have created a “special chapter” of the Proud Boys known as the “Ministry of Self Defense,” according to prosecutors. The Proud Boys allegedly used the MOSD group to coordinate actions on Jan. 6.
Tarrio was the national chairman of the Proud Boys through at least Jan. 6, the DOJ says.
The seditious conspiracy charge carries a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years upon conviction.
“On Jan. 6, 2021, the defendants directed, mobilized, and led members of the crowd onto the Capitol grounds and into the Capitol, leading to dismantling of metal barricades, destruction of property, breaching of the Capitol building, and assaults on law enforcement,” the Department of Justice said Monday in a press release Monday. “During and after the attack, Tarrio and his co-defendants claimed credit for what had happened on social media and in an encrypted chat room.”
Tarrio, along with Ethan Nordean, 31, Joseph Biggs, 38, Zachary Rehl, 37, and Dominic Pezzola, 44, have already been charged with conspiracy to obstruct and obstruction of an official proceeding, obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, destruction of government property, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Monday launched an investigation against Twitter for potential false reporting over its fake “bot” accounts.
The false reporting over fake bot accounts would violate the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
“Texans rely on Twitter’s public statements that nearly all its users are real people. It matters not only for regular Twitter users, but also Texas businesses and advertisers who use Twitter for their livelihoods,” said Attorney General Paxton. “If Twitter is misrepresenting how many accounts are fake to drive up their revenue, I have a duty to protect Texans.”
Today Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation against Twitter for potentially false reporting over its fake bot accounts in violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
On Twitter, “bots” are automated, non-human accounts that can do virtually the same things as real people: send tweets, follow other users, and like and retweet others’ posts. Spam accounts like these inflate followers and reach, and often push deceptive and annoying activity. Bot accounts can not only reduce the quality of users’ experience on the platform but may also inflate the value of the company and the costs of doing business with it, thus directly harming Texas consumers and businesses.
To address this concern, Attorney General Paxton issued a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) to investigate whether Twitter’s reporting on real versus fake users is “false, misleading, or deceptive” under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The CID requires Twitter to turn over documents related to how it calculates and manages its user data and how these numbers relate to Twitter’s advertising businesses. Twitter has until June 27 to respond to Attorney General Paxton’s Demand.
The US government forced Americans to wear masks for the past two years. Now we know that masks don’t work and actually are harmful.
You still cannot go through an airport and not see individuals wearing masks. Unfortunately, these individuals don’t know that the masks don’t protect them from viruses and they are actually harmful. Dr. Simone Gold from American Frontline Doctors shared a report today.
The National Pulse reported on the results of a recent mask mandate study:
Mask mandates caused higher COVID-19 death rates, according to the bombshell claims made in a new medical journal report analyzing fatality rates across the state of Kansas.
The observational study – “The Foegen Effect: A Mechanism by Which Facemasks Contribute to the COVID-19 Case Fatality Rate” – was published in Medicine in February 2022, authored by German doctor Zacharias Fögen.
The paper analyzed “whether mandatory mask use influenced the case fatality rate in Kansas” during the time period of August 1st, 2020 to October 15th. Kansas was used for comparison because the state allowed each of its 105 counties to decide whether or not to implement mask mandates, with 81 counties deciding against the measure.
“The most important finding from this study is that contrary to the accepted thought that fewer people are dying because infection rates are reduced by masks, this was not the case,” summarized the paper.
“Results from this study strongly suggest that mask mandates actually caused about 1.5 times the number of deaths or ∼50% more deaths compared to no mask mandates.”
We knew back in June of 2020 that the masks didn’t work and they actually hurt when used for a lengthy amount of time.
Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams asked a child to remove his face mask for a photo op during a campaign stop in Columbus over the weekend.
Abrams previously came under fire for posing with masked children.
Abrams asked the child to remove his face mask, then laughed that she’s “had a little bit of trouble taking [photos] with kids with masks on.”
The ruling class and mainstream media are trying hard to control and panic the masses through ongoing COVID fearmongering propaganda. They are now warning of “another summer wave” even though the brainwashed lemmings have already gotten their four doses of the mRNA injection to supposedly prevent the disease.
According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, the rise in cases reported in the Northeast in recent weeks appears to have peaked, but upward trends continue in at least 21 states, according to a USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins University data. Health experts said cases are likely higher because of underreported home tests.
So the “sixth wave” of COVID is here even though most of us haven’t even experienced the first wave. In the “age of the vaccine”, more people are dying of COVID now than they were this time last year,USA TODAY admits.
There are about 350 deaths reported per day based on a seven-day average, which is more than a hundred deaths less than this time last year, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
Although many people are at least partly immunized against the virus, reinfections occur regardless of vaccination status.
Dr. Stuart Ray, professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University said that after more than two years of preventive measures, “pandemic fatigue” has set in, health experts said, and more people attend social gatherings and travel without wearing a mask.
Just because monkeypox and the Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever outbreaks have made the headlines in recent weeks does not mean the rulers have given up COVID. They were able to panic the masses into getting more than two mRNA shots for the common cold. Some of us knew this was about the vaccine from the beginning, and it does not look like they are willing to let go of the obviously false narrative they keep pushing.
Jennifer Senior is your typical smug, elitist reporter from the east coast who has absolutely no idea what democracy means. She should look it up in a dictionary sometime. She also has no idea what is important to everyday Americans suffering under the boot of the wretched Biden regime. Joe Biden’s carefully planned economic policies have destroyed the American middle class. The east coast elitists obviously don’t really care.
After this segment aired today on The War Room, Steve Bannon weighed in saying, “You’re getting a democracy suppository on November 8th because we have built an army.”
