The Eskimos in Alaska kill Polar Bear and Walrus with the.22 Hornet

There's a story round here of a camp cook killing a big male griz with a .22...  As the bear stood, towering over him, he shoved the gun in the bear's open mouth, aiming for the pallet, and pulled the trigger.

You're welcome to give that a whirl. 

None for me, thanks. I'll take my chances with that ol 45/70 government.

 

Ohio State locks some campus buildings, state police ‘available’ ahead of pro-Palestine protests

Ohio State University has closed public access to some campus buildings and the Ohio State Highway Patrol is prepared to assist university police ahead of a planned pro-Palestinian protest on campus Wednesday evening.

Hours before students planned to demonstrate on campus against Israel’s war in Gaza, Ohio State’s facilities operations and management sent a message to building coordinators asking them to post “Building Locked” signs on the doors of buildings. Only people with swipe card access will be permitted in buildings “out of an abundance of caution,” the email read.

“Given what has occurred on other college campuses, the university has locked some buildings. The buildings remain open for business,” Ohio State spokesperson Ben Johnson said in a written statement. “This proactive measure is intended to allow university employees to continue their work and best maintain safety on campus.”

Protesters are returning to the South Oval behind the Ohio Union Wednesday after three dozen protesters were arrested for staging a pro-Palestine encampment there, one of dozens at universities across the U.S. calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Protesters, led by students, are calling on Ohio State to disclose its investments in companies tied to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, and to ultimately divest from those.
The university has declined to disclose its investments and cited a state law forbidding targeted boycotting of Israel as an explanation for its inability to divest. On Monday, Ohio State President Ted Carter defended the arrests and general police response to the protests, saying that “Ohio State’s campus will not be overtaken” by protest encampments.

Thursday’s arrests marked the most arrests of protesters on Ohio State’s campus in more than 50 years. More than 40 people have been arrested for protesting there since April 23, when two students were arrested outside an academic building...........

..............The Ohio State Highway Patrol declined to discuss its preparations ahead of the Wednesday protest, citing “safety concerns.” Last week, state troopers on the roof of the Ohio Union had rifles ready “reactively to protect the safety of all present, including demonstrators,” an Ohio State spokesperson confirmed..............

Polls Show Mike Johnson’s Betrayals Have Fueled Historic Approval Plummeting Among Republicans, Surge Among Democrats

Matthew Boyle 1 May 2024 Washington, DC

Embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson, who will face a historic vote next week in the House of Representatives to remove his gavel and strip him of the Speakership, is plummeting among Republicans and supporters of former President Donald Trump and surging among Democrats and supporters of Democrat President Joe Biden.

When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) calls the privileged resolution on a motion to vacate Johnson from the Speakership, Democrats intend to vote to save Johnson’s job by voting for the motion to table Greene’s resolution. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House who has essentially seized control of the chamber from Johnson as evidenced by Democrats carrying the rule vote on the foreign aid package earlier in April, has made it clear he intends to make sure Democrats protect Johnson. But many might be asking why Democrats, who voted en masse to strip now former Speaker Kevin McCarthy of his gavel last October, would throw such a lifeline to Johnson and save him.

Polls over the last few weeks from the Economist and YouGov capture the story: Johnson is surging with Democrats, and collapsing with Republicans. Johnson has seen in just the past two weeks alone double digit swings towards him among Democrats and away from him among Republicans.

Three consecutive surveys from the Economist/YouGov show the trend. Back in mid-April, before Johnson handed operational control of the House chamber to Democrats with the foreign aid package that sends billions of American tax dollars to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, Johnson’s overall favorability rating was already net underwater with 26 percent overall approving of his job performance and 35 percent disapproving. Thirty-nine percent in this survey conducted from April 14 to April 16 did not know what they thought of Johnson.

But when looking at the demographic breakdown of answers to this question, the divide in mid-April was stark when it comes to Trump versus Biden voters and Republicans versus Democrats. Among Trump voters back then, Johnson’s approval was at 50 percent and his disapproval at 18 percent, while 32 percent did not know. Among Republicans, Johnson was at 44 percent approval, 22 percent disapproval, and 34 percent uncertain. Among Biden voters, Johnson’s approval was 12 percent and disapproval was 61 percent, while 27 percent did not know. Among Democrats, Johnson’s approval was 14 percent and disapproval was 52 percent, while 34 percent did not know.
