I just went into Uncle Mike’s gun parts, a U.S. site, looking for a front sling swivel for a Marlin .357 Magnum 1894C and yep, sure enough, they have the part.  Small enough to fit into a quarter of an envelope, right?  Now look at the shipping cost! 
Needless to say, Wabbit declined to continue.

‘Melissa Fabello shares her interracial dating advice with the chronically fretful readers of Everyday Feminism:
“While interracial dynamics always add a layer of work to romance, it’s important to note that I’m white. Because when you’re a white person in an interracial relationship, there’s this whole – ohhh, ya know – white supremacy thing hanging in the air. And that has to be acknowledged – and dealt with – constantly”…’
Read it at David Thompson where he fisks this garbage in his own inimitable style.

‘Belief in traditional marriage is now a mark of shame, writes Brendan O’Neill:
This was once seen as a perfectly normal point of view. Now, in the historical blink of an eye, it has been denormalised, and with such ferocity and speed that anyone still brave enough to express it runs the risk of being ejected from public life …
What we have here is the further colonisation of public life by an elite strata of society – the chattering class – and the vigorous expulsion of all those who do not genuflect to their orthodoxies. Whether you’re a climate-change denier, a multiculturalism sceptic or, the lowest of the low, someone who believes in traditional marriage, you’re clearly mad and must be cast out.
The social impact of this illiberal liberalism will be dire…’

‘Following the Money – Campaign Moves, The CoC/Wall Street Roadmap, and Candidate Expectations…
…Small donations are now only a matter of keeping up an appearance.  Hence they now ask you to purchase a $1 or $3 trinket.  Get a couple thousand of those via handy cell phone aps, and that helps mask the fact that only a few donors are actually funding the entire campaign.
…When they need you to vote, they’ll ring a bell – Dems will use social issue fear strategy (abortion, war on women, race etc.); the GOP will use the fear strategy involving gun control, or, oh this one is really good, the repeal of ObamaCare! – Your job is to show up to the polls, pull lever, get temporary relief pellet and simply go away and shut up.’
Somebody please tell me again how the ballot box is supposed to fix anything.

that needs to be addressed’
‘…too many white people in ballet audiences’
Yeah, I’m sure it keeps many of us awake at night.
