A few items:<\/p>\n

The recently appointed Sergeant Major at Camp Pendleton’s Infantry School has been relieved.\u00a0 Steven Burkett, aka “Sergeant Major Kettleball” was relieved due to “loss of trust and confidence” was relieved July 13.<\/p>\n

In April, Burkett won Camp Pendleton’s Male Marine Athlete of the Year competition and set a mark recognized by Guinness World Records for the most weight lifted by kettlebell swing in one hour.<\/p>\n

He also holds the records for most weight lifted in both one minute and three minutes, according to Guinness’ website. All records were recorded while he was serving in the Marine Corps. Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No cause for the finding was published…hopefully he didn’t do something silly like going into one of his Marine’s off-post quarters without permission like another did a few years ago, SGM (ret) Christian Bull did. Task and Purpose<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up, Canadian Prime Minister loves to trumpet that his governments ban on many guns, such as “military style assault weapons”. You know, the gun-grabber’s wet dream of nothing black and plasticky, nothing which holds more than an arbitrary number of cartridges, confiscation of legally purchased property through enforced “buy backs” (if the gov’t didn’t own them to begin with, how can they buy them back?” etc.<\/p>\n

Violent crime (as measured by the Violent Crime Severity Index) \u201crose in 2022, reaching its highest point since 2007.\u201d The increase \u201cincluded higher rates of robbery (+15%), extortion (+39%), homicide (+8%) and level 1 sexual assault (+3%),\u201d and the rate of Level 2 assault involving a weapon or bodily harm has increased every year since 2015.<\/p>\n

In another notable milestone, the homicide rate in 2022 reached a level that has not been seen since 1992.<\/p>\n

StatsCan reports that the rate of violent Criminal Code firearm offences (e.g., discharging a firearm with intent, pointing a firearm or using a firearm in the commission of an indictable offence) has increased for the eighth consecutive year, rising 4% in 2022. Criminals are apparently not at all hindered by changing gun laws, as the rate at which a firearm is used in the commission of an offense has almost tripled, from 0.65 (in 2000) to 1.86 (2022).\u00a0 Buckeye Firearms<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

StasCan is an official Canadian government agency, by the way. The great part? If you think Canada has in aincreasing crime problem, it’s just you.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s National Post describes the \u201cfederal Liberals\u2019 new communication strategy\u201d as \u201cdoubling down on their signature tactic: gaslighting Canadians into thinking there\u2019s no problem and, if that fails, blaming them for thinking there\u2019s a problem at all.\u201d The replacement Justice Minister, Arif Virani, \u201cis telling Canadians their concerns about crime may be all in their heads. He told Reuters: \u2018I think that empirically it\u2019s unlikely\u2019 Canada is becoming less safe. ??\u2018But I think there\u2019s a sense coming out of the pandemic that people\u2019s safety is more in jeopardy.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seems Private Travis King is proving to be weak sauce for the North Koreans.<\/p>\n

King “confessed that he had decided to come over to the DPRK [North Korea] as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army,” the North Korean outlet claimed.<\/p>\n

“The North Korean regime has probably tried to craft the most negative message that they can take advantage of him as far as they can,” Bruce Bennett, a senior defense analyst with the Rand Corp. think tank, told Military.com in a phone call Wednesday. Military.com II<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s the best they can do? No high-profile arms dealer trades for him… hope he learns some Korean soon, he’s gonna need it for a while. Sounds like his propaganda value is next to nil for both countries.\u00a0 Think the Dixie Chicks described him best: “a missing person that no one was missing at all.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
