Sunday With Blackthorn - Today We Discuss The Best Semi-Auto Shotgun For Under $1,000

 Let's look in once again on James Reeves of TFB TV as he abuses the shit out of the new  Mossberg 12 Ga. 940 Tactical Shotgun. He  enumerates the pros and (not many) cons, as well as comparisons to the Benelli M4 and the the Beretta 1301.

Oh Man, I Called This One!

 So on March 8th, I posted here on the Blog about the Russian Minister of Defense who Putin made a General, but had never been in the military.

I had commented that he would soon be taking an extended vacation in Siberia. 

Well............

Why I Don't Buy High End Brand Name Knives Anymore

 


 

Back in July of 2008 I made my inaugural posts here at the Blog. One of the Posts was called "One Of My Hobbies". 

 https://wwwblackthorn.blogspot.com/2008/07/one-of-my-hobbies.html    

 It was about a small utility blade from TOPS knives called the ALRT . It came with a Kydex sheath, a small button battery powered Penlight, and a Carabiner. At the time I paid just $23.13 for it. Good little cutter, well made and easy to carry. Also very low profile.

While perusing some of my old posts today I came across it, and just for the hell of it, I decided to see if TOPS still made it. Turns out they do. 

And while I know it;s been 14 years, to say I was shocked would be an understatement.  Here's the link to the new model.   https://www.topsknives.com/alrt-01   

To sum it up in a nutshell, the sheath is no longer Kydex, the Carabiner  has been replaced by a piece of paracord, and while the penlight has been replaced with an admittedly better LED mini flashlight,  the price has gone up to a ridiculous level for what you're getting.

The most amazing thing to me is the fact that it's currently Out Of Stock and Back-ordered.  

Then again, as the saying goes, There's A Sucker Born Every Minute.

I just refuse to be one of them.

The Daily Situation From The Forward Observer Website

 

  • U.S. satellite networks at risk
  • DoD shoots down cruise missile with laser
  • U.S. infrastructure ‘fake news’ to stop cyberattacks
  • Ukraine arrests Russian comms asset

The USA has now developed a Laser that can successfully shoot down cruise missiles. Which is possibly why the USA did not put as much effort into Hypersonic Missle Development as Russia and China did.

NATO and The USA are apparently providing The Ukraine with technical assistance against pro-Russian Hackers.

This Is The Einstein That Masterminded The Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

I foresee a long vacation in Siberia for this Minister of Defense who holds the rank of General but has never been in the Military. At this point I'm sure Putin is not amused 😞
