Welcome to the WoGroll

Check out Pursuit of Patriotism. [More]

It's a new blog that started in January. Proprietor Phillip Evans is "a self-defense rights advocate and member of the NRA and GeorgiaCarry.org."

Note to Meghan

You're so cute when you stamp your feet like that and demand to be taken seriously. [More]

Newsom Super Bowl Contest a Reminder of Selective Regard for Rules

Curious isn’t it, that a man who has demonstrated time and again how he can’t – or won’t – control himself is so obsessed with controlling others? Telling, isn’t it, that someone who has proven so untrustworthy to those who have known him best is so distrustful of others? [More]
A career scumbag is offering a chance at game tickets for rights. No doubt there'll be plenty of takers demanding to give up yours along with their own.

Sins of Omission

The liberal media avoid reporting on President Obama’s many scandals at any cost, and Fast and Furious is no exception. [More]
True enough.

And not to put too fine a point on things -- but if I don't bring this up nobody else will -- the "conservative media" have avoided reporting on how the story came out in the first place, how everybody they do give credit to learned of it, and all of the groundwork that was done before and since by names they never mention.

I don't expect to change that Mike and I have been completely written out of the mass media narrative, but I also don't intend to stop pointing out what's undeniably documented and what everyone can verify for themselves.

Fair is fair, and especially in Mike's case, earned recognition should be acknowledged sooner rather than later.  If these guys want to bill themselves as "Accuracy in Media," how about some complete accuracy?

Anyone Who Can't be Trusted with a Keyboard Can't be Trusted without a Custodian

At a Wednesday presser, interim Chicago police superintendent Escalante blamed the “spike” in shootings on the fact that many of the city’s gang members are driven by constant agitation on social media sites such as Facebook. [More]
Need I say more?

Do I dare wonder how many access their accounts via subsidized internet and phones? His assertion makes me want to do nothing so much as add a stanza to the Officer Krupke song.

These guys sure like to load up on the chest candy, don't they? And Bling Crosby here appears to be an even bigger idiot than his thug predecessor.

I know, go easy on the ad hominem, but in this case, the man deserves to be the focus of the argument, plus I just figured out who he reminds me of: Kif from Futurama.

Sigh. If only they would disarm you and me. After all, it doesn't pay to piss off the people who keep you in power.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.  Seriously-- if this is the "progressive" idea of fighting violent crime...

A Voice from the Inside

Exclusive Oath Keepers Interview with LaVoy Finicum at the Refuge in Harney, OR. [More]
There's no shortage of observer comments. Jason Van Tatenhove of Oath Keepers gets the insights from someone in the thick of things.

Delta Force

Guantanamo guard: ‘CIA killed prisoners and made it look like suicide’ ... He has now written a book, Murder at Camp Delta, which he hopes will be a step towards finding out the truth. [More]
On the one hand, we have wholly unsympathetic victims and someone with a strong motive to promote allegations.

On the other, we have outrageous examples of official brutality we can consult.

Then we have secret Patriot Act/FISA court "interpretations," and no shortage of accusations that those who believe in the tyranny-deterrent aspects of the Second Amendment are "homegrown" domestic enemies...

Especially those who speak out against being treated that way...

Striking Sparks

“Federal authorities must move quickly to end the occupation and hold all of the wrongdoers accountable,” Brown said. [More]
Careful with that match there, Kate.

Some of us would rather tone things down in a more measured fashion.

A Mugged Liberal

"But if I am honest, working with 90 per cent of them is rather awkward and unfortunately not as I previously thought." [More]
Yeah, they give the other 10 per cent a bad name!

But don't worry -- we're a lot more rigorous here.
