J'Accuse...!

Washington Rep. Matt Shea engaged in domestic terrorism against U.S., says state House report [More]
So it's not a law enforcement investigation, but one conducted by a private security firm with clients to make happy?

A Capital Idea!


Capital-B ‘Black’ becomes standard usage at The Seattle Times... white (adj.): Belonging to people with light-colored skin, especially those of European descent. Unlike Black, it is lowercase... [More]
They have a bullshit rationale for that and everything.

Red Flagged


My malicious reputation precedes me. Looks like Virginia county libraries don't want patrons wandering into my rooms of disrepute.

I'm calling shenanigans. I run both Webroot and Malwarebytes.

It turns out I'm blacklisted by McAfee.  Funny, no one else has a problem with me:

S'cuse me a minute:
I'll letcha know what they say.

My device is also coming up clean. McAfee came with a free trial on my new computer and I uninstalled it because I've had it before and wasn't impressed with the results, and am happy with what I already subscribe to. I'm wondering if doing that launched a "Jilted -- We'll red flag HIM" app.

I suspect this is only coming from locations that offer free public access from their own computers, and perhaps have security set to "Anal." I'd think of all the people who come here someone else would have said something, but that said, please let me know if you get any warnings.

UPDATE: Might "false positives" be the problem? There's a NICS lesson in there somewhere...

You Won't be Needing That Choice


Incoming Va. House speaker says Democrats are considering a Capitol gun ban for 2020 session [More]

Because nothing says "Government of the people" like the politically powerful denying them their unalienable rights. under force of arms.

Putting His Foot in It


I’m at a loss to figure out how exactly this focus on gun rights helps rural Virginians. [More]

That much is obvious. There's more than a little Pauline Kael action going on here.

If this cloistered character weren't such a sanctimonious ignoramus, he'd realize all these points he seems to be having an epiphany over have been thoroughly discredited for years -- more often than not by the words and actions of "his side."

News flash: "We" know "you." What's obvious is "you" don't have Clue One about "us."

That smug incompetence combined with political and enforcement powers makes things dangerous.

So I think I'll keep my guns.

Just 'Pathetic'? I'd Add 'Disgusting' and 'Contemptible' and...

"As the survivor of a mass shooting I can tell you from first-hand experience that all of you protesting and taking days off from school insult the memory of those who were killed and abuse and insult me and every other lover of liberty by your every action," he continued. [More]
Marx for Our Lives? Never be afraid to call 'em what they are.  After all, could there be any lament more ludicrous than "Oh, no, the bedwetting useful idiot commie wannabes don't like me"?

He Who Must Not Be Named

Until now, much of the electoral success of progressive prosecutors has come in major metropolitan areas. The Virginia wins marked a shift to the suburbs. [More]
I suppose you could tell voters a candidate is bankrolled by Soros, but then prepared to be smeared for blowing an anti-Semitic dog whistle.

Surely ONE of them worked...?

Full Court Press

Putting other policy-related issues to one side, absent such an accounting, the court ought to be put in the course of ultimate extinction, and soon. [More]
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of what happened to Robespierre...

The Nose Knows


Some Fudds command our gratitude and respect.

I'm afraid some of the graphics they put on planes back then would draw the rage of today's bitter, militant cat harridans. Demotions and expulsions would follow. Heroic lives would be ruined. And those who are against everything America once stood for would bray that as a victory.

Not having seen it for decades, I had a chance to rewatch "Run Silent, Run Deep" the other evening. There was a calendar girl picture on the bulkhead that the men would pat on the rear when going into battle.

That certainly seems worth a harassment lawsuit for policy violation.

The type of man that could win a war is now being outcast as a toxic pariah, and we'd better believe that connection is intentional on the part of the string-pullers behind the useful idiots.

We're the Only Ones Slammed Enough


Sheriff’s deputy fired after video shows him slamming 11-year-old student to the ground [Video]

He's not been charged with at least assault and battery?  And after over a month, they still refuse to tell the public that pays them his name?

Cognitive Dissonance Down Under

The rifle is currently Class A but in October this year owners in NT were informed it was being reclassified to a Class C and told they’d have to sell their rifle or obtain an updated firearms licence within three months. [More]
And then there's:
Federal Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie has responded to the ongoing proliferation of petitions demanding an end to Australia’s feral cat cull, declaring the pests pose the single biggest threat to native wildlife and saying they’re to be found across 99.8 per cent of Australia.
Sounds like sense has gone walkabout...

How Parasites Profit


But the astounding failures of the schools and the police are irrelevant to activists determined to invoke the Parkland killings to forcibly disarm the American people. [More]

Rahm Emanuel had something to say about that.

We're the Only Ones Making Sure Enough


“Making sure the required paperwork is done. Making sure the required background checks are completed,” Ham said. “Making sure that guns are being sold to people who are eligible under federal (law).” [More] 

You know, all those things that make sure "shall not be infringed" is the foremost consideration on the part of those bound by it...

Safe Haven


I was asked to make readers aware of Guns & Safety Reviews, a new site that covers the gamut from safes, guns, tactical gear, maintenance and safety. As regulars here know, I pretty much confine myself to the ideological and don't pretend to have much to say on hardware, so I leave it to you to look things over and decide if you get value. [More]

If you do, tell a friend.
