The Glibertarians Foundation board met recently. Going over the money situation, we have enough to finish the year…but past that, not so much. The increased demands on/by WordPress have not only stressed SP out, they have put a little more of dent in our wallet than expected.
We know many of you have given generously – money, time, effort and more. So we are not asking for more than a bit o’ coin to pad out the ol’ operating account. The Foundation exists for donating to libertarian education and civic works. We back the Institute for Justice, FIRE, the Second Amendment Foundation, etc. This site is our primary means of both getting the word out, raising funds and having fun while doing so. (Remember, you can always buy some merch, instead of a contribution.)
In light of this, we have some offers from some of our regular contributors.
HIM HELP FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN HOOMANS!
STEVE SMITH SAY HIM HALP! HIM GO SEE WHAT FIND AT GLIBS HOOMAN BUILDING. LOOK, IT CHEESE PERSON! STEVE SMITH GO ASK FOR MONIES.
“Ahh! Who let him in here…no, no, no!”
STEVE SMITH HOLD CHEESE PERSON UPSIDE DOWN AND SHAKE. HIM FIND 50 HOOMAN DOLLARS!
Looks like we will credit STEVE SMITH (and Swiss Servator) for $50. You OK, Swiss? It looks like he is crawling to the exit, so he must be fine.
SEA SMITH HALP TOO!
SEA SMITH HAVE GOODEST WAY HALP. HE PROMISE HE NO RAPE YOU BOAT IF GET $10 FOR FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN LAND HOOMANS. OFFER FOR LIMITED TIME ONLY! BY LIMITED, MEAN REST OF YEAR. YOU WELCOME.
ZARDOZ HAS AN OFFER YOU CANNOT REFUSE.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, THE GLIBERTARIANS.COM READERS! FOR ANY DONATION OF ANY SIZE, ZARDOZ WILL DENOMINATE YOU AS ONE OF THE CHOSEN ONES! HOW COULD ONE SAY NO TO THAT?
…
WHAT IS THAT, ZED?
ZED INFORMS ZARDOZ THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED AS THE CHOSEN ONES. IN THAT CASE, ZARDOZ INSTRUCTS YOU ON THREE THINGS; 1) THE PENIS IS EVIL, 2) THE GUN IS GOOD, AND 3) DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN DISCRETIONARY FUNDS. THIS IS NOT LIFE OR DEATH, CHOSEN ONES. GIVE ONLY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD AND ARE COMFORTABLE WITH GIVING.

Hello,
Okay. Fine. These fucking people, bothering me at 11:30 in the morning to see if I can help the foundation. Fine.
I will be giving away two of these. The most generous contributor will receive a clean pair, and the second most generous will receive a game day pair.
I will not be telling who is first.
Sincerely,
Winston’s Mom
Yinz gots a nice place here. Be a shame if something were to happen to it like it did back at the old site. You know how the website froze during afternoon links, your comments didn’t post, threading issues… Peanuts are cheap and woodchipper bedding is cheaper. Tag your donation #squirrels and me and the boys will take care of you.
Glibby, the Head Squirrel
Planning ahead for the holidays, I am going to decorate my tree with nothing but Winston’s moms panties.
Alright. You need to work on the guilting level, it’s not quite to Catholic level.
/preps the next cocktail article, which is the non-alcoholic one.
/Preps up a donation.
You’d think they could get it to Jewish mother level.
Married to half Jewish, half Italian Catholic gal. Guilt level: apocalyptic.
One of my friend in my misspent youth was an off the boat Catholic boy. He was dating a reformed Jew. He went to Temple once, and she asked to go to a Mass. He took her to Ash Wednesday. The day after she came up to me and asked: “You’re Catholic right?”
“Well, raised Catholic, I’ve left the Church…”
“That doesn’t matter. Can you explain this shit to me?”
After a discussion about Ash Wednesday and Lent, and Easter, she looked at me and said, “I thought the Jews had guilt. You Catholics win.”
“I left the Church a while ago…”
They didn’t even include a linky to the donation page. #lame
I had to search for it.
Me too. And it took awhile to find it. I guess I should have scrolled down the thread before going on the wild goose chase. But happy to contribute, I owe this place a lot for getting me through the past 18 months. You all are about the only ones out there who seem consistently able to see through all the muck.
Way to step right into that new role. TPTB must be quite pleased.
Thank you!
**HEAVY SIGH**
Well, if I must . . . there.
Have I said that I love Winston’s mom?

Done.

Never fuck with them.

Squirrels I don’t mind. Chipmunks on the other hand…
There is a road I travel on my way home where the prairie dogs have actually achieved scratching through the asphalt in the middle of a road to make the second hole for their home. I almost got one with the right front tire a few days ago. Plague carrying little bastards.
Funds sent. Thanks for what you guys are doing.
I’m in. Just don’t stop showing up everyday, please.
AND, I had to go hunting for the donation button. Ya’ll should put one on the page.
AND, you guys have a maximum donation? Really? That’s not how any of this works, but it’s more beer for me.
Well, I’ve doxxed myself through the payment, but y’all are worth it.
I already did that sending in articles from my regular email.
One recommendation for y’all, if it’s easily fixed.
I can’t enter a custom amount of PayPal donation. The maximum choice is $50, so that’s usually what I limit my contributions to. I assumed this was an intentional choice, as I know there are some contribution thresholds y’all probably want to avoid.
Since that doesn’t appear to be the actual case, it would be good to enable an “other” amount so that donating more than $50 doesn’t require multiple transactions.
$50 is to avoid the $9999 structuring donations.
Is anyone else seeing the vids from Elijah Schaffer (sp?) of Jan 6th? The capitol cops just fired flashbangs into the crowd for no fucking reason. They’re just standing there with flags and grenades start falling on them. You can hear the crowd start yelling, Fuck you, after the bangs. It looks like the Capcops started the whole thing, probably at Nancy’s direction. Totally fucked up.
Nope. But Hyperbole has assured me the Magats started the whole thing and beat up a bunch of cops using flag poles causing them to cry during congressional testimony.
Check out Jack Posobiec’s twitter. It really looks like the Capcops started the whole thing.
In the hinterlands of conspiracy theories it is out that the FBI/whothefuckotheralphabetorg instigated the whole thing where it comes to violent interactions and I am not one to not believe that. Trust the government? Ya, I am not on that train.

Great little jingle, including the line “Show the world you care”. Also, “give an extra tug”.
I am not sure who started that. Cops gonna be cops if a mess of people march up to the door of where they are protecting. I am sticking to my original analysis of that day. Dumb as FUCK to march on the capitol. Stolen election or not. The mother fuckers will use it to demonize people who have wrong think and that is exactly what is happening. Were they right to march? Sure/maybe. Will it change anything. Nope, other than now everyone who is not a card carrying prog is a terrorist. Good job folks!
Grew up in the sixties. Demonstrations were for chasing skirts first and foremost. The other stuff was ancillary.
Nope, other than now everyone who is not a card carrying prog is a terrorist. Good job folks!

Ok, ok, perhaps I exaggerated a bit.

Heh……that would be interesting. I would buy a suit for that.
You’re doing it wrong then. If I was invited to one, I may show up in spandex… Or the most offensive shirt I can fit into that would fit in at the location.
More like cucktail parties amiright
everyone should pay their share.
I’m sure this sounds more Social Contract-y than is intended.
where is the give money clicky thingy? enact my labor that I may helkp. PLAZ HALP!
I have to get to Friday. Then I am donating. Thanks for everything you guys do. Eventually I owe an article on the Three Stooges and the non-aggression principle too.
That should be Fun Tulpa, bring it on! please.
I will do it, need work to slow down. Sad but true, vermin damage on the car is preventing immediate donation.

All I remember from last night’s Zoom is a constant barrage of NERD signs. Must have been an amazing and fascinating discussion, whatever it was
I was actually sober and must have missed the NERD signs, but then I ducked out early. I love you guys, but when it’s a choice between you all and cuddling up with Mrs. Animal for ice cream and movie night, y’all lose.

Hey SP!
Every so often, when I tap on the Glibertarians.com banner on the main page using Brave browser on my Samsung phone, I get what looks like a malicious re-direct to a site called “poosoahe.com.” Is it possible your site’s got some re-direct code buried in it somewhere, unbeknownst to you?
(To be clear, I’ve never seen this behaviour on my desktop [same browser, Brave], so mebbe something’s been d/l’ed to my phone without my knowledge?)
Mebbe this will help:

Yep. It’s apparently malicious code that hops on to one of the wordpress add ons that targets mobile users.

*sigh* I finally just dropped fifty bucks on the Columbo box-set and now this comes up. Oh well. It’s gonna be a spendier credit card bill than usual.
That’s very interesting. Just one more thing….
Now I don’t have to DVR it every Sat. and Sun. night off the old-people channels.
Best part is they are eminently re-watchable. Hell, I’ve seen most of them by now and I’m still taping it regularly.
Whatever works for you. Oh… you said taping. I thought you said tapping.
Not to Columbo.
I’ve been dvr-ing the original Perry Mason tv shows off the old people channels. Great stuff. And 271 episodes in all, so it will take awhile. They’re almost all good, including my favorite so far, where Raymond Burr plays a second role as a drunken cockney merchant mariner who is a doppelganger of Perry Mason. The worst are a brief stretch in season 6 where Burr was hospitalized in real life for awhile, and other celebrities filled in as guest lawyers for some weekly episodes. Among the replacements were Walter Pidgeon, Hugh O’Brian, and, believe it or not, Bette Davis! But they sucked because no Perry.
Never seen it.
Now I want to see the one with Bette Davis.

Not to be a whiny bitch, but is there a donation mechanism that does not involve PayPal? Perhaps a mailing address to which I could send small bales of unmarked bills? I could buy merch, but I’d rather all the money go to the Glibs.
Also, is the Foundation thing just a yuk, or is there actually a legal entity called the Glibs Foundation?
Yeah, I don’t like going through PayPal either. I’m sure I’m on their list already but still.
Where do I send dogecoin?

I second Grummun’s request for a non-PayPal option.
My PayPal account is currently locked because I bought some bitcoin through them and they want to KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (KYC). They are asking for WAAAAAAAAY to much information in my opinion. And their current policies on gunz and wrong-think lead me to believe that they no longer want my business.
I’d prefer to send cash to a P.O. box.
I just pay “as a guest” when I have to. They still have too much of my information but c’est la vie.
Or if any of the PTB show up to Honey Harvest, I’ll grease their palm.
Fine…. FINE
While I’m here, what’s a fair price for a Ruger Blackhawk 44 Mag in excellent condition?
The neighbor’s husband passed away and she’s given me the first shot at his toys.
Unfortunately, I like her enough that I won’t lowball her even though I probably could.
Hey, what are you going to do with that 5.7L Chevy engine you’re removing from the Suburban? Is it in good shape and are you selling it?
One of my 1999 or 2000 Chevy 3/4 ton work trucks just had the engine take a shit and I’m debating on replacing the engine or using the truck for parts.
The reman company may want the core, but I will have a second engine with about 300K on it when I’m done from a junker I bought for parts.
You can email me directly at gotmyglasseson at pm dot me.
That’s a few too many miles for me to mess with. Thanks for letting me know. I’m probably gonna just upgrade with a newer truck.
I got a good hot rod motor, but it’s in L.A. and it’s not cheap cheap. It’s cheap considering it’s got a steel crank and pink rods with forged pistons and iron bowtie heads, though.
Check gunbroker, for the upper bound at least.
Hard to tell with that info. Is it a Blackhawk or a Super Blackhawk? What’s the barrel length? What year was it made? Blue or stainless? Other options?
What I recommend is this: Go to an online auction site, like Gunbroker, and do a search for closed auctions for guns that match yours as closely as possible. Check to see what they are actually selling for, and that may give you a pretty good idea.
I’m a .45 Colt guy myself and I’m already half-way towards deciding on a bid on a 1909 Colt that I’m watching, so I’d have to pass. But good luck!
Don’t think it’s a super. Just have a photo of it at the moment. Need to get my hands on it and pull the serial.
I don’t know much about Rugers, but around here that’s probably about 700-900 bucks, but it’s highly regional. In CA, they all cost more because of the “roster” which prevents most handguns from being purchased here. An off roster gun that’s desirable goes for much more because used and FTF is the only way to get one. The Ruger .44’s I see are in the range I mentioned out here. Likely less everywhere else.
Btw, Shoot it with some hot loads a few times. It’s crazy fun! I once shot a can of corn with mine from about 10 feet and it uncreased the edges of the can and turned it into a perfect capsule shape, minus the entry and exit wounds. I should have kept that can.
Haven’t looked recently, but I saw them as low as $500 for blued models that I was considering a couple years ago. Obviously today’s market is much stronger.
I sold a stainless super redhawk .44 magnum with scope and rings for $375 almost 20 years ago. My how times have changed…
Done. Thanks for keeping this place plodding along.

Recent video of the “Bear” fest that has caused the CDC to change its latest mandates/rules/guidance.

https://lakesuperior.travel/News-For-you/superior-national-forest-announces-food-storage-order-to-protect-both-visitors-and-bears
The Superior National Forest has mandated that all campers hang a food pack or store their food in a bear-proof container (this was standard practice back when I was a guide, not sure why you wouldn’t do this any time you camp in bear country). The drought has reduced berry production and the bears are hungry.
My daughter was leading a group of hikers along the Lake Superior Hiking Trail last week. While they hung their food pack between two trees, apparently they didn’t hang it high enough. A bear ripped it down and ate all their food. Luckily they were at the end of their hike, but they had to hike the last few miles without breakfast.
I’ve never been overnight backpacking without hanging food. Who doesn’t hang their fricken food? Do they have a “being mauled to death” fetish?
I have not had a bear come into my camp but the red wolves invariably do. They are much easier to guard against but they are more annoying. Usually they wait about ten minutes after you zip your tent then they come and sniff around for munchies. If there is nothing they can steal they start howling ten feet from the tent door. Try sleeping through that…
Heh a lot of those bears don’t seem to be trying very hard. Maybe they’re already full.
Your friends are saying, right about now, “If I had a nickel for every time we’ve heard that…”
I don’t know a lot of bears but the one I did know never had his fill.
Go. On.
*Looks innocently skyward*
LOL not from me you ingrates. I’m not into bears.
I know, but your comment just led so easily to that joke, what was I gonna do? Let the opportunity go by? nope.
We have lots of fat, happy town bears, just big giant rats you arent allowed to shoot, because town limits, and they just make a big mess, vermin really, cuddly vermin,
There were at most five bears when I visited that place.
what’s a fair price for a Ruger Blackhawk 44 Mag in excellent condition?
To me? Nothing. Not a fan of .44 magnum.
YMMV.
Wut? It is one of the most versatile cartridges. What is not to like?
I am a small-framed person and the .44 Mag kicks like a mule and is very uncomfortable to shoot. I shot 3 rounds from a Blackhawk and handed it back to my friend. Similar story with .300 WinMag.
Not a big fan of magnums in general but I love my .357. I used to joke with my hunting buddy, “Your .300 WinMag not only kills the deer, it chops it up and turns it into hamburger! Does everything but wrap the meat!”
Also, would donate but not going to use PayPal.
They come in all power levels. I have some cowboy rounds that feel pretty close to a .357 when fired in my full sized S&W.
Fair enough but I have enough calibers at this time. Just bought a Henry lever-action in .357 to complement my handguns.
Find something that is comfortable to shoot and then shoot often. If it hurts to shoot then you won’t be shooting as often.
I keep meaning to buy a lever gun. Just to wrapped up in other stuff. And, I need another .357. i keep getting close to buying one, but something breaks the deal. I really want a pinned and recessed nickel plated S&W. Mostly, the one’s I find are blue. I don’t like blued guns. There’s a really nice Winnie ’94 in .357 on Calguns, but it’s going for 1100.00 which is too many for me.
I own the 45-70 version of this gun and love it. Only wish I got to shoot it more.
https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/rifles/marlin-1894-csbl-stainlesslaminate-lever-action-rifle-357-magnum/p/1269959
I like those, but not the laminate, so much. I’d probably still buy one if the price was right. I wonder how the 45/70 compares to a hot .44 mag round?
Mine is actually the walnut stock with the stainless which looks gorgeous. The 45/70 pack even more than a .44, just a massive round. They are expensive though.
I am with Brooks. Never liked the magnums.
I do have a .357 Marlin, but that is about it.

Trashy’s DEI journal, day 10281037q:
A group I help lead is putting together a panel for a conference later this year. The panel is technical and not many people are qualified to speak on it. I was extended an invitation to speak on it, but nearly had it rescinded when it was brought up that I made the panel too white and male, which didn’t meet the group’s diversity requirements. Thankfully there was another white guy to boot, so I’ll be on the panel, but I refused to participate in that conversation. Fucking racist, it was.
That’s what DEI becomes. Ignore the glut of white guys, they’re just interchangeable cogs. Instead, replace them with the same handful of women and minorities who make the rounds through the industry.
Diversity is having the same 10 people at every conference. Inclusion is limiting the opportunity of 80% of your industry based on skin color.
We are super diverse here, Poles, Germans, Swedes and a couple of Black guys, and we all get along,
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsk8qiNyC7c
But no Irish!
Oh everybody.
And no wops.
Can you tell the panel GFY without repercussion? It really calls for that.
Seriously. Or accept the position and designate the other white guy to give your presentation. What horseshit.
It wouldn’t be effective because none of them are at fault. It was one of those “oh wait, this isn’t gonna get approved by the board, is it?” things.
Add in the fact that the guy who got booted was the guy who inflicted me with that super woke girl I was bitching about the other day, and I’m not too sad. Play with snakes and sometimes you get bit.
I simply refuse to participate in any of this diversity shit. If they want to hunt for a token minority, more power too them. The fact that they have to do it puts me in a weird position where the people making the decision aren’t really the people making the decision.
I propose we destroy all life with a mechanical horror.

Just got back from camping at a gorgeous lake in the Sierras with the wife, kids and friends. This is the fifth year we have camped at this same place. A great time was had by all. Plenty of swimming and we bought an inflatable kayak that is actually pretty darn cool. We paddled out to a couple of the islands in the middle. One had a sweet rock overhang with a fifteen foot jump off it to the lake. The eight and ten year olds and I had a blast jumping off it. Good times.
Perfect. We were looking through vacation photos tonight. I’m not sure there is anything better.

Real pile of crap.
That’s more up my alley. Those two could have been filmed drinking at a bar together and I’d watch it.
Yeah, it’s formulaic. They are unable to make interesting stories because of the ideological (or whatever you wanna call the Hollywood zeitgeist) handcuffs they’ve put themselves in. Instead, they try to make it interesting by adding gratuitous violence or using obnoxious filming techniques. They are cowards.
Excess and persistent loud noise called “music” too.

It’s ok to hurt and to lean on your friends sometimes.

I went to donate but the max was 50 bucks. So I did that, but when I went to PayPal to more, I didn’t see the transaction.
So what recipient should I put in to PayPal?? My protonmail awaits…

Snitches get stitches.
Pearls were clutched.
Passive voice was used.
Social norms were trampled.
Film at eleven.
Tattletales are worse than predatory pedos. The snitch culture must be crushed.
If you see something say something.
I hated that phrase the second I heard it.
I spent my teen and early twenties years among a semi shady clique and running your mouth to the authorities, parental or governmental, was highly frowned on to put it mildly. I guess that’s stuck with me.
Hardened criminal right there.
Wow. Way to read the room.

LOL.
It’s not even a vaccine…or effective…or safe…but it’s free!
Since I had to get one of them, I am glad I got the J and J “traditional” style vax.
Well ackshually….
I know I’ve mentioned this before but the J&J isn’t a traditional inactivated virus vax either. It’s an adenovirus DNA treatment, which is also a gene therapy method. All of the current COVID vaccines use our mitochondria to make spike proteins, they just have slightly different ways of delivering the message to our cells.
Right, there is not a trad vax marketed by anyone and that includes Sinovac and Sputnik. They’re all either adeno or RNA.
🙁
I haz a retroactive sad…
That is objectively shit effectiveness. I’d say a lawsuit’s in order but liability exemption.
Had they not decided to vaccinate everyone in the middle of a pandemic, the vaccines may have retained effectiveness for longer. As it stands, the virus is just mutating its way out of the immunity as it has a huge pool of partially immune people to gestate in. If they had restrained application to only the most vulnerable, the treatments would be more effective for longer.
There are so many levels on which this experiment in public health has failed miserably that I’m not sure I can count.
“Failed” depends on what the actual intent was. ::tips aluminum millinery at a jaunty angle::
Good morning, Scruffy, Stinky, hay, & Sean! ::looks below:: And TH!
It doesn’t take an aluminum chapeau to think the powers that be are trying to take full advantage of the situation.

“company funded survey”
Why would Pfizer fund a survey highlighting the ineffectiveness of their product?
“Funding for the study comes as Pfizer has been pushing for a third COVID vaccine dose to boost immunity protection, which U.S. health officials have vetoed.”
Oh.
When failure is a bonus.
It’s the perfect government program.
It doesn’t work the way we thought it would, SO DO IT MOAR AND HARDER until it does.

Watching the second season of War of the Worlds on Prime.
I have no idea why I am doing so. It’s just another season of stupid people making really stupid decisions, over and over.
Are you sure you’re not watching C-SPAN?
Stupidity driven stories only really work with comedy and even there it’s gotten old.

Heh. Probably shouldn’t feel smug about this but I do. Not sure why.
Meanwhile the men just beat Mexico. 😛

So, admittedly, I started watching to mock the tranny. But I was soon hooked; these ladies are awesome. I do hope one, or more, of the true females blow the tranny out of the water though.
One of the Indian lifters (Akmal?) is so very fast at maneuvering up under the bar. Also, there is a Tongan who I would bet earns a Tres Cool Seal of Approval.

teachers have only 13 months to figure out how to coax responsible, informed, civic behavior from turn kids whose opinions are shaped by their parents’ TV habits into informants.
HTML fail. Need more coffee.
‘Yet the civics and history curricula have become an incendiary political debate all over the U.S. How did that happen?
A. Well, it didn’t happen because we have too many civics courses! It might be because we stopped talking civilly about controversial issues. I remember in the days of Walter Cronkite, we all had a centralized source of facts. It had a unifying effect and gave us a fairly common, well-informed perspective. Today, people turn to Facebook for news, which echoes your own frustrations and drops us into silos. Now, can civic education in middle school correct that? Not by itself. But I think it’s a starting point.’
Ah, there it is. The lament that the centralized control of information has been put upon. Civics is homogenized thought through media, I guess.
I don’t think it’s too much to ask to teach kids how
the elites rule over themthe government works.Tranny scratched attempt number 1 at 120kg.
Uh-oh. Looks like we need a new vaccine.

Although unusual, West Nile Virus is not unheard of in New Jersey. About 80% of those sickened will not develop any symptoms, and only one out of every 50 who are infected will become seriously ill.
Sounds a bit worse than wuflu. Good thing we have a free needle program.
Scratch on 2nd attempt, then spectacular scratch on 3rd attempt for tranny; she’s out of the competition.
(s)he must have had one hell of an itch.
The Chinese lifter is gonna run away with the gold. She just set an Olympic record at 140kg for the snatch (She is already the World Record holder for snatch, clean & jerk, and overall).
suh’ fam
whats goody
Dude! Check out Tongan weightlifter Kuinini Manumua… She’s hot like fire.
