Sheila Jackson Lee’s Rambling 30-min. Defense of Eric Holder: Attacks on AG Are ‘Baffling’

I am constantly flabbergasted that ANYONE so manifestly STUPID could ever be elected to public office, simply because I could never believe that ANYONE would be so manifestly STUPID to vote for someone like SJL.

I was wrong, on both counts!

“The Rainbow Bridge”

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals that have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together. . . “ Author (Anonymous)

Texas Gun Shop Owner Easily Refutes Biden’s Claim That an AR-15 Is Harder to Aim, Use Than a ’12-Gauge Shotgun’

To take Mr. Bonner’s observations a step further, when I was a First Sergeant in an infantry rifle company, we trained Primary Marksmanship Instruction on the M16 rifle / M4 carbine (select-fire AR-15 military variants) with our soldiers constantly.

One of the main tenets of accurate shooting is the “grouping” of the rounds, that is, where the rounds are hitting the target. To ensure that they are hitting in the same place all the time, the firer MUST hold the weapon the SAME way all the time. This allows the firer to draw the same sight picture all the time. We taught our soldiers to pull the weapon tight into the pocket of their shoulder, rest their cheek on the buttstock, and touch the tip of their nose to the charging handle of the rifle.

The M16 / M4 could be fired this way WITHOUT any fear of breaking your nose, because the construction of the weapon made for very little recoil. This little fact would indicate that this weapon would be an excellent choice for a female.

In comparison, I own a side-by-side, double barreled shotgun in 12 gauge, and even with a recoil pad on the buttstock, it WILL thump you. Using #4 buckshot so the pellets don’t go through a wall, it’s advantage is that it will clear a room with two rounds.

The Vice President should spend more time acquainting himself with the handling and firing characteristics of these weapons, and less time showing how clueless he really is.
