It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Commonsense Gun Safety Law' Is...

Pelosi: Democratic President Will Now Be Able To Declare National Emergency On Guns [More]
But no one is talking about taking them away from anybody...

Gushing Girlfriends


Would it be unfair to wonder how many would happily accompany her to Victoria's Secret? [More]

Oops...

Ohio lawmakers studying error that could ban some guns [More]
I thought our "gun rights groups" were on top of this throughout...?

A Proven Formula

Adam Schiff refuses to stand down if Mueller finds no collusion [More]
That's because he's not interested in the truth.

He knows he can always count on the DSM to repeat whatever allegations he wants to make and that the hysterical Democrat mob will always reliably react.

He also knows there's no danger of the spotlight turning on him.

A New Paradigm

Asymmetrical Warfare And 4GW: How Militia Groups Are America's Domestic Viet Cong [More]
It's about the most effective ways to affect the public's will to support a tyrannical regime, so don't forget the impact creative individual non-state actors can have. 

One thing I generally don't see considered is what foreign opportunists will be doing while the festivities unfold.

Good thing Swallow-well's gonna ride "Hi There!" down to Ground Zero to keep that from happening.

We're the Only Ones Encoding Enough

Denver Police plan to encrypt the department’s radio traffic, blocking public access. [More]
Gotta keep the suspects guessing, and since you're all suspects...

I wonder if they'll include justabloggers or if they'll keep inside lowdown access confined to "Authorized Journalists"?...

I Feel Your Pain

It seems these bouts of censorship are likely caused by liberal Facebook users marking articles as "spam." The social media company later removed the blocks, but censoring articles in the hours after their publication does a serious disservice in the news industry, where fresh information has the most pertinent impact. [More]
What this means, as I've discussed when it happens to me, is that I have been sent a friend request by an enemy intent on disrupting and hampering the sharing of my work.  And I've told Facebook that.

Because I only use "social media" to promote my work, I never send out "friend" requests, I only accept them. That's because I don't want to solicit acceptance and then abuse that with self-promotion. If my stuff shows up on anyone's feed but my own, it's on them, not me.

Ideally, I'd like to see complaining rats outed, but realistically I'd settle for Facebook removing that person from access to stuff I post. That they don't -- especially after being contacted numerous times -- tells me they want to enable such disruption.

On the plus side, yes, it's a PITA, but it also creates a Streisand Effect by calling more attention to what the trolls are trying to suppress.

The Democrats' Best Friends

Here are the Republicans who voted to gut interior enforcement... [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"...

Swamp Things

In a Senate with 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats the vote to confirm Tom Farr was canceled. And the swamp won. [More]
Why? Did they find a picture of the guy in blackface or something?

If they're waiting on Tillis to do the right thing, I wouldn't hold my breath.

We're the Only Ones Lighting Things Up Enough

Denver Police officer suspended for discharging gun instead of turning on flashlight [More]
I can't tell you how many times I've done that.

Class Warfare

NEA joins Everytown for Gun Safety, AFT to call on lawmakers to adopt proven strategies to make American schools safer [More]
What strategies would those be?

We're the Only Ones Foreseeing Enough

Academics Confirm Major Predictive Policing Algorithm is Fundamentally Flawed [More]
Next, they'll be telling us "Minority Report" was only a movie.

Rope-Selling Capitalists

Policy expert Ryan Streeter said in an interview that aired Thursday on Hill.TV that it might be worth having the gun control debate at a more local level in the U.S. to combat gun violence. [More]
You're quite the "conservatives," aren't you, American Enterprise Institute?

This is another reason why rewarding "pro-business/ anti-gun" Republican turncoats with votes is a self-defeating idea.

LaVoy Finicum Assassination Analysis – All Videos

These are deep analysis videos of various factors in the wrongful death of LaVoy Finicum, who was murdered by the Oregon State Police with assistance by the FBI in Oregon in January 2016. [More]
As a caveat, I have not had time to review these. As my justification for linking to them anyway, I was clued into this by a former federal agent who has been consistently supportive of work exposing wrongdoing.

Go Ahead. Tread.

Part of the students' booth display included a pro-Second Amendment flag that said "Don't Tread On Me" and "2nd Amendment Since 1789." But because two silhouettes of rifles appeared on the flag, administrators approached the students during the recruitment fair and demanded it be taken down. [More]
What are the names of the administraitors? Where's the video where the demand is made to identify themselves by name and position?

And why didn't the students refuse to recognize such "authority", demand to have their property confiscated and be ejected or arrested? Are they at least going to sue?

Another Senseless School Shooting

‘I let the fire go’: two women charged in shooting of teen at Kansas City high school [More]
Now tell me with a straight face that infringing on your rights wouldn't have stopped this.

We're the Only Ones Storm-Trooping Enough

Houston cop 'lied about drug dealing so officers could storm home' sparking a shootout which left a couple dead and five officers wounded [More]
Don't look for capital charges, though.

I see Joe Gamaldi has transitioned from aggressive posturing to urging everyone to take a breath to the old "Few bad apples" ploy...

UK to Issue Knife Crime Prevention Orders [More]
If that doesn't make them feel safer, nothing will.

LET’S EX PARTE!


Bear introduces us to EPPO. [More]

No, it's not a lesser-known Marx Brother.

This is CNN

The shooter, 45-year-old Gary Martin, used a Smith & Wesson handgun, the chief said. [More]
I guess it doesn't serve CNN's agenda to include information for the millions it reaches that Martin "owned his weapon illegally"...

Leading the Lynch Mob

What else would you call immediate accusation-based conviction of whites supporting Donald Trump's campaign agenda? [More]

[More]

[More]
Now Booker says he's "withholding judgment" on real, investigation-based evidence that clears his would-be lynch mob victims -- because "the majority of the terrorist attacks on our soil have been right-wing terrorist attacks -- the majority of them white supremacist attacks."

And look who learned nothing from Tawana Brawley.

Meanwhile, holding "true" to time-proven Marxist "principles", Nancy Pelosi is erasing history.  Please join me at this time in wishing the addled Speaker a Happy Thanksgiving.

And yeah-- don't expect any apologies.   We "progressives" will continue looking for outlier "gotchas" to condemn you all.

My Bad

Hoda Muthana 'deeply regrets' joining Isis and wants to return home [More]
Doesn't she deserve the same chance to become a Democrat Congresswoman as every other domestic enemy?
