House intel committee looks into eavesdropping on Congress

By Nolan D. McCaskill and Nahal Toosi

A House panel on Wednesday announced it is seeking information from the Obama administration on U.S. intelligence collection that may have swept up members of Congress.
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s announcement comes after a Wall Street Journal report that the U.S. collected information on private exchanges between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of Congress during ongoing negotiations for a nuclear deal with Iran.

“The House Intelligence Committee is looking into allegations in the Wall Street Journal regarding possible Intelligence Community (IC) collection of communications between Israeli government officials and members of Congress,” Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said in a statement. “The Committee has requested additional information from the IC to determine which, if any, of these allegations are true, and whether the IC followed all applicable laws, rules, and procedures.”
In response, a senior administration official suggested on Wednesday afternoon that lawmakers on designated committees may already have been informed of the data collection now in the news. "The Intelligence Community is required to keep Congressional oversight committees fully informed of intelligence activities," the official said in a statement.
Although the information collected by intelligence officials apparently included comments from members of Congress, there's no evidence yet that those American lawmakers were the intended targets of the surveillance, as opposed to the Israeli premier and his aides.

Even better, they admit to intentionally targeting our allies, anything one of our precious Congresscritters said that got collected was.... wait for it.....Colateral damage.

The irony here is off the charts you pathetic, spineless, bitches.

Harlem Globetrotter Meadowlark Lemon, dies at 83

Damn, another great one has passed.
I somehow missed this and didn't hear about it until I surfed over to Bubba's Place. Thanks Bubba.

Meadowlark Lemon was a household name back in the 70's when I was still a kid.
I still remember the night my Grandfather drug us down to the High school Gymnasium where I eventually graduated from eleven years later to see the Harlem Globetrotters. I can still see him and Curly teasing the hell out of the ref's.
To this day I can still remember some of the game and the antics Meadowlark pulled.
As a matter of fact, I know I still have a 45 record I bought at that game with their theme song on it.

Sweet Georgia Brown.

Meadowlark and crew literally entertained millions of people all over the world, from little Redneck Rubes such as myself to Popes and Kings.

RIP my good man.

Lemmy Headlining At The Great Gig In The Sky Tonight

God Bless ya Lemmy, I am going to miss your ornery fucking ass.

I thought this especially fitting for his memory, he finally got Killed By Death.

It's Extremely Contagious Too!

I'm telling ya, it's getting worse by the day.

Gunmaker to forge $1 million pistols

If you think that price is out of this world for a custom matching  pair of right and left 1911's it's because the steel they are going to use is from outer space.
They are going to melt down a meteorite.

Gunmaker to forge $1 million pistols from a meteorite

By Aaron Smith

Published 12/24 2015

Cabot Guns announced that its "extra-terrestrial pistols" will be forged from a meteorite as old as the Earth itself, and could sell for as much as $1 million at auction next year.

"It hasn't been done before and that's the kind of thing that drives me," said Cabot founder and president Rob BiaNchin in an email to CNNMoney. "I think it's fair to state many of the pistols we have constructed border on art."

"Meteor is rare, more so than terrestrial precious metals and I wanted to create a set of guns that were formed from a material that had intrinsic value," BiaNchin said.

Cabot, a four-year-old company located near Pittsburgh that's sometimes called the Rolls Royce of gun makers.The company's clients include actor Joe Mantegna, rocker Kid Rock and Twisted Sister's Dee Snyder.

BiaNchin said that holding the meteorite is "awe inspiring," but it is difficult to work with. He compared the cutting of the meteorite "to cutting a rare diamond."

Cabot has fashioned a pair of pistol grips from the meteorite, and BiaNchin is now confident they can move on to building an entire gun.

Snip

The gun company plans to forge its "Big Bang pistol set" from a 35-kilogram chunk of the Gibeon meteorite, which crashed to Earth 4.5 billion years ago and was discovered in Namibia in the 1830s.

The meteorite will be fashioned into a pair of semiautomatic .45 caliber pistols of the 1911 style.

Snip

According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, the Gibeon is prized for its unusual patterns of crystallized metal, known as the Widmanstätten lines.

The Gibeon is actually a massive deposit of meteorites totaling many tons of iron. Polished, palm-sized pieces are selling on eBay, starting at about $50.

It was one of THOSE days again

Fuck me runnin', what a fucking day.

My boy called me yesterday and asked if I wanted to trade some work, he is an apprentice electrician and I told him I wanted a heavier breaker in the garage for my welder and another fucking outlet a while back.
He says to me that his belt started squealing and he was losing coolant from underneath on his Pick Up.

Two horrifying words came to mind immediately.

Water. Pump..

So he needs the rig to get to work and it's a jacked up 2002 Dodge Ram 4X4 so of course the damn thing won't go in the garage and be able to open the hood.

He gets here and I take one look and bigger than shit it's the water pump. I ran down to NAPA and snagged a new one.
Gas motor, the venerable old Dodge 360. That would be a 5.9 liter engine to all you youngsters out there.
When I called him this morning to tell him I was up and to come over, I peeked outside to see what the fucking weather was doing.
Nice and dry if a bit chilly but no fucking rain so I said Cool!

He gets here, opens the hood and I have him pull up until the hood is about two inches from the gutter over the garage and it starts to sprinkle.
Yay.
I should be able to stay somewhat dry though.
He starts in on the breaker panel while the truck cools off and it doesn't take long to figure out the breaker I had wouldn't fit so off to Home Fucking Depot we go. Along the way, this slight drizzle has now started to turn to sleet.

We find what we need,stop and grab something to cram down for lunch and now it is spitting snow.

He finishes up installing and wiring a new outlet and putting the breaker in while I start draining the coolant on the truck.

Now it is flat out snowing and colder than a witches tit in a brass bra.

We fiddle fucked around and had to fight the By Pass hose that peeks out from under the fucking air conditioning compressor and start putting it all back together,.
That hose however, is fighting me. There is only about an inch of it poking out and I am trying to wiggle the water pump up into it while holding it and a couple of bolts I had in to hold the fucking gasket.
It's kind of blurry but you can see what I am talking about here, I wasn't pulling that A/C compressor for love nor money if I could avoid it.

Now I have been to Grandma's house before and used some Stick Um to try and hold that gasket onto the pump but this fucking hose is so tight up in there that I am having a hard time getting the nipple to slide in and not scrape the gasket off while pushing the pump up into the hose and line up the bolt holes at the same time.
I finally get the motherfucker up in there and start putting the long assed bolts back in to start tightening everything down but I am having trouble with two of them on the bottom.They do not want to start.

I finally ran them in with the air ratchet and finished putting the whole thing back together.
My mistake there.

He filled it with coolant and water then fired it up.
This whole time it is just colder than shit and snowing off and on.

Bigger than shit, he fires it up and coolant starts pouring out the bottom.

Dirty, Cock, Sucker!

The fucking gasket had slipped after all.

So we tear the dirty sonofabitch back apart in record time and the gasket is fucked.

Not being one to admit defeat easily, I grabbed a can of my Secret Weapon.

Fuck that gasket, with this shit you don't need one. Far and away it is the best silicone type sealer I have ever come across. It's so damn cold that it doesn't want to come out of the can but I finally got enough on me and the pump that I called it good and put that fucker back up in there.
Not having to fight the gasket was the ticket.
I tightened the damn thing down, put everything back together except the fan and shroud and went in the fucking house to warm up my freezing hands for a while to give the sealer time to set up a bit.

About forty five minutes later we went back out there and put coolant back in it and fired it up.

Now it's dark and snowing like a bastard but not quite sticking to anything.

No leaks this time, pulled the top radiator hose off, put the fan and the shroud on and fired it back up.

For you do it yourselfers, the fan is one of those that threads on that they want you to buy some special tools to hold shit while you screw it off. Fuck that noise, get an air chisel with a really long bit, figure out if it's Left or Right hand thread because I have seen both and give that fucker a good Rat-A-Tat Tat on the edge of the nut in the direction you want it to turn. It will come right loose. Then it just spins right off.

You want to talk about a cold blooded sonofabitch of an engine though. That fucker ran for a good fifteen minutes before the thermostat even thought about opening up.
It finally opened up enough that I could feel the top hose getting hot, checked for leaks again and buttoned the bitch up
.
What a fucking ordeal for something that shouldn't have taken an hour and a half tops.
Now I remember why I quit working on cars for a living.

It's done though, the kid can get to work OK and now I can use the little wire feed welder that I bought a year and a half ago.

I has some little projects I want to get done and have been putting them off ever since.

Glock Has a New Commercial On TV

I was over at my In Laws all day yesterday and I was sitting on the couch minding my own business when this came on.
This is the extended version, the one I saw was a thirty second spot.
I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing.



I honestly can't remember the last time I saw an advertisement for a gun on television.

This was over in Oregon too, I hope those hoplophobic sonsabitches over there choked on their pumpkin pie.

I Managed To Survive Another Christmas Season

Well, I survived another Christmas, yay.
I'm still sober too so there's that I guess.

It was a good Christmas this year, I had the good fortune of running into some unexpected money so as is my personality, I went a little overboard. The Wifely Unit was on my ass about it all morning.

I ain't sweating it, what's done is done and I'm glad I could make a few people a little bit happier, that's kinda the whole point of the exercise in my opinion.

As for myself, I did quite well actually.

Got a badly needed new LapTop and am currently configuring it.

I also scored in a big way from my Father in Law.
He is a retired Chief of Police from a small upper Mid West town from many years ago and quite the Second Amendment supporter.
He even put a message on the back of his pick up in stick on letters that says "Fear the government that fears your guns".

My kind of guy.

I did have to crack wise at one point and point out the irony of him being a Chief of Police at one time and me being the town drunk back in the day.
He is a heck of a nice guy and just laughed.

He used to do a whole bunch of reloading and just kind of tapered off and gave it up, he is in his seventies now.
He still had a bunch of the goodies stashed in his garage though and I did some wheeling and dealing along with some cash money and walked away with damn near all of it at a very reasonable price.

I don't have the slightest idea how any of this stuff works yet but the internet is my friend and it won't take too long before I get the hang of it.

One of the presses is for Shotgun shells only and the other is a very old Lymon Tru Line Jr.
(internet pic)

I say very old as I have already done some digging and it seems they updated the linkage on 'em sometime around 1958 or so and this one is from before that even.

He used the shit out of 'em both and my wife said she can remember him using the MEC 600 Jr Shotgun press when she was a little girl.
(internet pic)

I also got a vintage electric lead melting pot that's so freaking old that I can't even find it using Google search or Google images.
It has the name Potter cast into the base and is still in usable condition, complete with a half full bowl of lead in it.
It is similar to an old Lyman unit, just older, way older.
It still has the cloth covered power cord if that gives you any indication.

He also gave me a metric assload of ammunition!
A .50 Cal ammo box full of various caliber stuff he can't use plus another smaller can full and yet more in a bag.

Quite the haul out, I'd say it weighs about thirty five or forty pounds total.
It's all useable to me too.


I hope you all had a most excellent Holiday with friends and loved ones.

One never knows what the future has in store and this very well could be the last of the Golden Years.

All we can do is keep our eyes and ears open .

Things could well get "sporty" as they say here in the near future, the government is stepping up the pressure on our Freedoms almost on a daily schedule anymore, something is going to give somewhere.

It's a matter of time now.

It's Christmas Eve Again

That means I am going to be busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest all day and probably won't be having an opportunity to do anything here once I get up other than scan a few headlines before I hit it running.

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and thank you profusely for your support over this last year.

If I don't see you around before Christmas, please enjoy the time you have for it.

See ya's, when I see ya's .

ISIS Actually LOST Ground This Year

Not nearly enough in my opinion, mainly because our Commander In Chief is an enabling fucking pussy Muslim apologist but you already knew that.

Says here they lost a net 14% of the territory they held last year.
The part I found interesting is the analysist's opinion that they have stretched themselves a bit thin in some areas and the Kurds went right in, cleaned their clocks and almost tripled their previous holdings.

Gotta love them people.
They hate those ISIS bastards more than I do and that's saying something because I have less than zero like for those donkey humping troglodites.

Islamic State’s caliphate shrinks by 14% in 2015

Columb Strack, Senior Middle East Analyst at IHS - IHS Jane's Intelligence Review 

 

The Islamic State’s ‘caliphate’ shrunk by 12,800 km² to 78,000 km² between 1 January and 14 December 2015, a net loss of 14%, according to the latest estimates by the IHS Conflict Monitor team.

Losses in 2015 include large swathes of Syria’s northern border with Turkey, including the Tal Abyad border crossing, which was the group’s main access point to the Turkish border from their de-facto capital Raqqa.

Other substantial losses in Iraq include the city of Tikrit, the fiercely contested Beiji refinery complex, and a stretch of the main highway between Raqqa and Mosul, complicating the transfer of goods and fighters between the two cities.

The Islamic State’s most significant gains in 2015 came from their advance into western Syria via Palmyra, and the capture of Ramadi’s city centre. Both were achieved in a near simultaneous offensive in May 2015, but came at the expense of losing northern Syria to the Kurds.

The Islamic State redeployed fighters from its northern frontline with the Kurds in order to launch the offensives in Palmyra and Ramadi. This indicates that the Islamic State was overstretched, and also that holding Kurdish territory is considered to be of lesser importance than expelling the Syrian and Iraqi governments from traditionally Sunni land. In fact, geospatial analysis of IHS data shows that Islamic State activity outside areas it controls is heavily concentrated around Baghdad and Damascus, but much less so in Kurdish territory.

Syria’s Kurds are by far the biggest winners in 2015, expanding territory under their control by 186% to 15,800 km². They have established control over nearly all of Syria’s traditionally Kurdish areas, and are the largest component of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which are being nurtured to form a key part of the US ground campaign against the Islamic State in 2016.

There is more but you have to register to see it and I think this was copying and pasting more than I like to do but it was necessary to get the whole picture.

Now if we could just unleash a few of those cruise missiles we have sitting around getting dusty at some known targets maybe we could give them some of the ground they seem to want so badly.
Six feet of it, on top of their dead bodies.

Hello Kiddies!

OK, this is fucked up, it takes an especially sick bastard to intentionally go after the identities of children.

Personal details of 3.3m Hello Kitty users exposed online

The personal data of up to 3.3 million users of several Hello Kitty websites has been exposed in a database breach.

Researcher Chris Vickery discovered the details of 3.3 million accounts associated with sanriotown.com over the weekend, which is the official web portal for Hello Kitty and other characters owned by parent company Sanrio. The site offers fans access to forums, mini-games, videos, blogs and other Hello Kitty content.

Details included in the records, which were first known to have been published on November 22, 2015, are the first and last names, email addresses, home countries and the sexes of users, as well password hints and their corresponding answers. Unsalted SHA-1 password hashes, which are easily reversed to allow access to original passwords, were also uncovered.

Hello Kitty is a brand popular around the world among both children and adults. A number of websites associated with the brand are affected by the leak: hellokitty.com, hellokitty.com.sg, hellokitty.com.my, hellokitty.in.th and mymelody.com. Two servers containing mirrors of this data were also discovered.

After discovering the database of information, Vickery passed on the details to technology website CSO and DataBreaches.net.

As accounts set up by children are likely to be involved in the leak, a journalist with CSO, Steve Regan, has described the leak as being "worse" than if it had just been adults affected.

"If someone managed to compromise a child's identity, the fraud might not be detected for years, because most parents don't monitor their child's credit record," Regan stated.

Find out who did this and ruin 'em for life.
As they say, make an example out of 'em.
