Pakistan and ICBM

     Pakistan stated it is currently working on a new ICBM (inter-continental ballistic missile) that can target and hit the United States.  

    What does this all mean?  in a nutshell nothing.  It is nothing to fret over.  Pakistan is a loose Alie with the States and will do nothing to interfere with that relationship.  They do cozy up to China, but this is strategic relationship.  they both hold India as a major enemy and threat and India hods a closer relationship with the west and in particular the United States. this is a up close look at look at the right hand but pay no attention to the left.  Pakistan wants to look like it is standing up against the western power to the Islamic world all while doing what the west says to do. 

    International relations is a tenuous game of chess that is always being played.  so always steep back take in a deep breath look at the entire chess bord and see where all the pieces are located on the bord that will give you a great scan of the way the political winds will blow.

its big its beautiful its a bill ITS A BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL

      The big, beautiful bill contained some NFA items in it.  If you followed the bill, you would know what I am talking about. It held language regarding suppressors and shirt barrel rifles.  the hope was to have them removed from the NFA.  What does that mean?  well in laymen terms the feds wanted to have the SBR and all suppressors removed from the registry and that would take away the tax stamp needed to legally own one of these items.      If you want to legally possess a short barrel rifle (SBR) or a suppressor (silencer) you needed to go to a class three FFL, fill out paperwork, have papers signed by the local sheriff and turn in fingerprints an pay a 200-dollar tax stamp fee.  All this paperwork was then sent to the BATF and you waited.  the weight time was in most cases close to a year before you got the thumbs up or down. all this was just stupid and unnecessary.  it was like bureaucratic busy work. ...

WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

      I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my hands, wrists and arm for a little over two years now.  My right hand was always the worst of the two.  It got to the point where I cannot sleep, loosing feeling and in constant pain.  It feels like a match in lit in my wrist and as the day rolls on it becomes a blow torch.  I finally spoke with my PCP about it and got a referral to see a specialist.  and after a battery of testing its determined that I need an operation, at first it was carpal tunnel in my wrist but after speaking with the surgeon it was found I also need a operation on my nerve leading into the thumb on my right hand as well as an operation on my right elbow so four places need operated in total.  man, when I go big, I GO BIG I guess.      I'm hoping all this will clear up all the pain I'm in.  I need sleep and to be human once again.  I have several irons in the fire and need to be healthy.  I...
