"The weapon — an imported .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle — was discovered wrapped in a towel by investigators in a wooded area following the killing of the conservative leading light, who was shot once while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, according to the memo."

Engraved?  I suspect marked.  Engraving seems a bit severe for ammunition.  Transgender?  Call me startled. 

 I've been watching the wall-to-wall coverage of the Kirk assassination, and I'm struck by a few thoughts.

First, the shooter planned this.  He had ab objective and an escape route.  As I type this, about 1:00 CDT, I don't believe that he has been caught.  The shot doesn't appear to be particularly challenging.

If the shooter thought that he would accomplish something, he was absolutely right. The airwaves are awash with his eulogy and if anything, he is more well known than he was yesterday.

In the days to come, we will learn more about the shooter, and his motivations. It will be interesting to see how he was financed, his political leanings and who his friends are.

Chairman Mao famously said that all power flows through the barrel of a gun, and while that sentiment served Mao well, it may not apply in the way that he meant it.  That one gunshot in Utah yesterday may have unleashed a whirlwind of political activism that will resonate for many years to come.

 9/11/25 Inside Higher Education:

The U.S. Department of Education plans to end discretionary grant programs for a slew of minority-serving institutions, officials announced Wednesday—after Congress had already appropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars to those programs. The move stunned MSI advocates, who argue the department doesn’t have the authority to nix them.

The Education Department asserted that these programs amount to “discrimination” and are “unconstitutional” because they require colleges to enroll a certain percentage of students from a particular racial or ethnic background to qualify. For example, HSIs must enroll at least a quarter Hispanic students, among other requirements, to earn the federal designation.

“Discrimination based upon race or ethnicity has no place in the United States,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in the announcement. “To further our commitment to ending discrimination in all forms across federally supported programs, the Department will no longer award Minority-Serving Institution grants that discriminate by restricting eligibility to institutions that meet government-mandated racial quotas.”

When our government started actively supporting HBCUs, it was in the aftermath of slavery.  You can argue, I think legitimately, that subsequent efforts, not entirely in the South, sought to keep blacks uneducated and unskilled. 

Those days are long over.  The legal obstacles have been gone for at least two generations.  Hispanics were never subject to these legal obstacles.  They were in the eyes of the law white.  A friend graduated from University of Texas in 1948.  That institution was still requiring blacks to attend an inferior, all-black law school in 1950.  While looking through her graduation program, I was struck with how many Spanish names there were.

The only defense progressives have left is that this is still a profoundly racist society.  In 1930. Charlotte Democrats would have lynched to accused.  The double standard for justice argues that if there remains widespread discrimination, it is in favor of black criminals, largely to the detriment of black victims.

The post Repurposing an Old Meme first appeared on The War on Guns.

It has been twenty-four years — nearly a quarter of a century — since the followers of a demonic ideology attacked our nation. For some Americans, memories have faded. Others choose to forget or forgive. A whole generation has grown up with no firsthand knowledge of that day and little grasp of its history. Yet the events of September 11, 2001 brought a horror to our shores that the world must never be allowed to forget.

The same ideology that fueled those attacks still spreads violence across Europe and throughout the world. It continues to bring evil to our own shores as well. And yet, many remain complacent, blind, or willfully ignorant. Worse still, some within our own government aid and placate those who threaten us.

Today we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families whose grief has never faded. Their sacrifice and suffering deserve not only our remembrance but also our resolve.

We must remember what was done to us on that bright September morning. We must stand firm against it. Be vigilant, for the evil one and his minions have not relented. The threat endures.

Who would have figured 24 years ago that society would be destroyed from within?

If you don't know the people who don't understand that sentence, then they are the ones who you need to not know.

The post Preparedness Notes for Thursday — September 11, 2025 appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.

As an observer of contemporary politics, economics, and emerging threats, I have come to the conclusion that the last three years of Donald John Trump’s second term as President may provide a potential window of opportunity. If we were now living under a Harris-Walz Administration, we would surely be out of time to prepare. I have my doubts about Trump’s sincerity when he talks about scaling back the size and power of government. Alarmingly, the gains of the DOGE project were wiped out by the huge deficit spending included in the recent  “Big, Beautiful Bill”.  But I don’t consider DJT …

“The truth is that while those on the left – particularly the far left – claim to be tolerant and welcoming of diversity, in reality many are quite intolerant of anyone not embracing their radical views.” – The Late Charlie Kirk

The post The Editors’ Quote of the Day: appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.

Everyone is reporting that Charlie Kirk, a staunch conservative voice was killed today at a campus event in Utah.

When I was listening to the reporting on the radio, the details were mixed and confused.   Evidently, he was shot in the neck.  The 72 hour rule is now in effect.

My thoughts and prayers to his survivors.  Charlie will be missed.

“We are confirming that he was shot and we are praying for Charlie,” said Aubrey Laitsch, public relations manager for Turning Point USA."

Receiving flak means over target.  Some report that I cannot immediately find says police took into custody a "white-haired man."   There are still a lot of boomers who feel like they may missed their chance to be "relevant" in 1969.

I am hearing rumors that he died.  The very graphic video i saw of him falling over as blood gushed from his neck makes this very plausible.  A single shot almost from a rifle (200 yards).  The downside of rifles as defense against tyranny is that tools of tyrants can also use them as seems sensible to them.  Never speak at a public event where anyone can easily get to you.  Stay in halls where your security team can do a proper search.

Yes, news coverage is reporting his death.  Hitler launched Krystallnacht over someone less important and curiously a member of the resistance to Hitler. If you take the left seriously the entire cast of MSNOW will be in camps tomorrow.

This one is from 1965 (i.e. it was classified for 60 years!) [PDF warning].

It's the output from a computer program (from 1965!) that takes an encrypted cypher stream and performs tricks of the trade like frequency analysis of each character and other statistical analysis.  The test was for the cryptanalyst to use this to identify which language was being enciphered.  Essentially, it was a training class for Secret Squirrels. 

Pretty cool in a very crypto geeky way.  It took me back to some training I had as a larval engineer as the class of new hires waited for their clearances to be approved.  I wasn't great at it (I was an electrical engineer, not a linguist).  The Queen Of The World eats this sort (cryptograms in the newspaper) of stuff for breakfast.

The post French Trials FN CAL: Adding Rifle Grenade Capability first appeared on Forgotten Weapons.

On July 18, 2025, the Delaware State Sportsmen's Association and the Bridgeville Rifle and Pistol Club sued the Delaware Department of Safety and the Delaware Superintendent of State Police. The lawsuit  challenged a law passed in 2022 which made the possession and purchase of certain firearms by anyone between the ages of 18 and 21 illegal.

The lawsuit was heard in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware by Judge Reneta L. Green-Streett. On August 29, 2025, Judge Green-Streett granted the plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgement and denied the Defendants' Cross-Motion for Summary Judgement.

With this opinion, 18-20 year olds are held to have full rights to keep and bear arms protected by the Delaware state Constitution.  The case is based on the Delaware state Constitution, article I Section 20.

§ 20. Right to keep and bear arms.

Section 20. A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.

Delaware added state protection of the right to keep and bear arms in 1987 . Before that, the Delaware state constitution did not have a right to keep and bear arms section. Before 1970, there were 14 states which did not have a right to keep and bear arms provision in their state constitutions. As the push to infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment accelerated with the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, groups supporting the right to keep and bear arms pushed to place protections in state constitutions, and strengthen those which already existed. Today there are only five states which have no state constitutional protections for the right to keep and bear arms.

In the opinion by Judge Green-Streett, she notes the Delaware Supreme Court upheld Section 20  in 2017. The opinion by Judge Green-Streett is based on the state Constitution and the Delaware Supreme Court precedent. From the opinion:

Third, although federal jurisprudence surrounding the Second Amendment may prove persuasive, this Court’s analysis must be based on the Delaware Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Delaware Constitution. Taken together, along with the axiomatic concept that this Court must follow Delaware Supreme Court’s decisional law regarding Delaware statutory and constitutional law until the Delaware Supreme  Court issues new guidance, this Court will apply the test described in Bridgeville to determine if HB 451 violates Section 20.

Judge Green-Streett declined to use the Federal standards set forth by the United States Supreme Court. She held  "the Delaware provision is intentionally broader than the Second Amendment and protects the right to bear arms outside the home, including hunting and recreation.”

Judge Green-Streett found the exercise of a Constitutionally protected right cannot be reliant on discretionary licensing procedure. From the opinion:

The concealed carry statute’s plain text conveys the process is discretionary. The exercise of a constitutionally-protected right cannot be reliant on a discretionary licensing procedure. That premise particularly applies where, as is the case with an application for a concealed carry permit, an applicant who receives a denial has no appellate options. An 18-to-20-year-old applying for a concealed carry permit, after fulfilling all requirements, may be denied without any recourse to have her constitutional right to possess a firearm for self-defense restored to her.

Judge Green-Streett concluded the provisions of HB451 which infringe on a subsection of adults, are unenforceable. From the conclusion of the opinion:

Article I, Section 20 of the Delaware Constitution enshrined the right of citizens to “keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.” At a minimum, some provisions of HB 451 infringe on the right of a subsection of adults, aged eighteen to twenty, to exercise their right to “defense of self, family, home and State.” Accordingly, those provisions violate the Delaware Constitution and are unenforceable. HB 451’s provisions that do not affect the rights of 18-to-20-year-olds – such as those outlining the rehabilitative services offered to those under the age of eighteen – remain intact. Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, and Defendants’ Cross- Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

The protection of the right to keep and bear arms in Delaware resulted from far-seeing citizens who pushed for and obtained Section 20 of the Delaware State Constitution in 1987. Protections in Constitutions depend on honest judges to enforce them.

State constitutions, as with the United States Constitution, depend on people with the will to hold officials accountable, in a representative republic.

 Normally, scheduling a state championship is a major hassle.  Today, though I managed to schedule the venue and the dates with the sanctioning body all in the space of two hours.  The Louisiana State Chapionship of Cowboy Fast Draw  will be held at Country Inn and Suites in Pineville, LA on May 22, 23, 24, 2026.

That is a load off my mind.  Now that the date and the venue are set, it's a simple matter to start promoting and getting ready.  And, I only have 8 months to get it done

I need a program to produce gCode for cutting rectangles starting at xstart,ystart and cutting to far side xend,yend.  I have a program that does that but the more parameters on the line in the Makefile, the easier is to make a mistake.  It would be nice to specify these as -1.56,0 and 0,2.4 instead of -1.56 0 0 2.4.  So I revised the program from:

  float xStart=atof(argv[1]);
  float yStart=atof(argv[2]);  
  float xEnd=atof(argv[3]);  
  float yEnd=atof(argv[4]); 

to:

int parsePair(char* pairString, float* x, float *y)
{
  return(sscanf(pairString, "%f,%f", x, y));
}

...

 float xStart, yStart;
  if(parsePair(argv[1], &xStart, &yStart) != 2)
    {
      printf("unable to parse %s\n", argv[1]);
      displayValidArgs();
      exit(2);
    }
  float xEnd, yEnd;
  if(parsePair(argv[2], &xEnd, &yEnd) != 2)
    {
      printf("unable to parse %s\n", argv[1]);
      displayValidArgs();
      exit(2);
    }

The Makefile command goes from:

    ./mkrectangle -1.593 0 0 2.2179 -.2 -.01 -.6 3 3 .125 rectangle.ngc -a

to:

    ./mkrectpair -1.593,0 0,2.2179 -.2 -.01 -.5 3 3 .125 rectpair.ngc -a 

A minor improvement but I may create something more complex with n pairs as vertices.

 9/9/25 Michigan Bridge:

LANSING — Michigan’s so-called false electors case is over and defendants will not stand trial after prosecutors failed to prove 15 Republicans knowingly committed a crime by signing a document incorrectly claiming President Donald Trump won the state’s 2020 presidential election, a judge ruled Tuesday. 

“This is a fraud case, and (you) have to prove intent,” Lansing 54-A District Court Judge Kristen Simmons told a packed courtroom, “and I don’t believe that there’s evidence sufficient to prove intent.”

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel had charged the defendants — including former Republican National Committee member Kathy Berden and former Michigan GOP Chair Meshawn Maddock — with eight felony counts, including forgery charges Simmons said pertained more to property crimes than the facts of the case.

The question of whether Biden actually won Michigan was a legitimate question.  There were so many irregularities in the COVID election (mail-in ballots of questionable origin, implausible numbers of 110+ old Pennsylvania voters requesting absentee ballots, clear evidence of ballot harvestimg, some clear-cut fraud involving a California friend's non-citizen wife shown as voting by mail, whose votes were counted the day after the election when she did not vote) that a person could genuinely believe the election results were as trustworthy as Biden's autopen pardons.  Providing an alternate set of electors in case Congress decided to investigate these iregularities seems a legitimate action.  If not for the J6ers idiocy, I think it possible that Congress might have at least asked questions much as the contested 1876 election involved challenges to the results from several states.  (Thanks J6ers for guaranteeing President Autopen and likely the Ukraine War.)

This is an area that has needed reform for years:

The Pentagon will no longer allow Chinese nationals to support Department of Defense (DOD) cloud environments, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a video posted to X on Aug. 27.

Hegseth said the arrangement – part of a Microsoft program known as “Digital Escorts” – allowed coders from China, remotely supervised by U.S. contractors, to assist with sensitive DOD cloud systems. He called the setup an “unacceptable risk” to national security.

Well, yeah. 

Here's how the rules have been bent for years.  Initially what was mandated was that only U.S. Citizens could work in these environments.  After lots of complaints from tech companies (*cough* Jobs Americans won't do *cough*) this was changed to "US Persons".  This added both Green Card holders and H1-B Visa holders to the list of acceptable people allowed into the environments.

Fast forward a decade and Silicon Valley has so gamed the H1-B system that the US imports a huge number of foreign workers while laying off US citizens.  So the question is how much loyalty to the USA do these people have?

Green Card holders?  Probably a lot.

H1-B holders?  Dunno.

Chinese H1-B holders?  Per the SECDEF, they represent an overwhelming security risk. 

Like I said, this area has been ripe for reform for years.  We will see if this policy gets extended from the War Department for Fed.Gov in general.

The post The Editors’ Quote of the Day: appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.

 The most basic responsibility of government is to keep the citizens safe, and the mental health professionals, along with the criminal justice system utterly failed in the recent murder of Iryna Zarutska. 

Irmya was a refugee from Ukraine who came to the US to make a better life.  She was senselessly murdered on a train by a man who was well known to both the criminal justice system and the mental health system. This all happened in Charlotte, NC recently.  The murder was captured on train surveillance video.  The video is both brutal and shocking.  Inya stood no chance of surviving the attack.

I am outraged.  This was a senseless crime.  The killer should not have been on the street.  We used to have gallows for people like this, but we are too soft and coddled to remember that we need harsh measures to protect vulnerable people who are just trying to go about their daily lives.

Google it yourself.  I will not name the murderer.  After his trial, he deserves to be forgotten like the trash that he is.
