DISCLOSE Act passes House

H.R. 5175, the Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act was passed this afternoon in the House of Representatives in a 219 -206 vote. [More]

A second GRE column for today due to this development...

We're the Only Ones Above the Influence Enough

In 2008, Baca announced plans to bar deputies from carrying firearms while intoxicated.

But the deputies union is fighting the rule, with critics saying it infringes on their rights. [More]

Yeah, who does he think he's dealing with? Citizens?

We're the Only Ones Behind the Badge Enough

A former North Las Vegas police officer who claimed his badge stopped a bullet now stands accused of making the whole thing up and endangering the public. [More]

Pathetic.

What Do You Mean I'M Responsible for My Own Safety?

"If they can’t help you, then what? Are we all supposed to carry around guns now? I feel like nobody’s protected.” [More]

What, you think somebody else is going to do for you what you won't do for yourself?

Amazing how outraged and surprised some people get when reality doesn't mesh up with their preconceived illusions...

[Via Mack H]

We're the Only Ones Offering You the Money-Making Opportunity of a Lifetime Enough

A veteran NYPD detective was arrested in Albany for stalking an 11-year-old girl on her way to school and asking her three times if she wanted to make money, police said. [More]

A veteran? So how long has he been getting away with bad stuff? Or did he just wake up on this one morning and decide to go bizarrely wrong?

No irony on the story telling us he's a "third-grade detective"...

[Via Harvey]

Disappearing Act

Dozens of parolees, including one imprisoned for his part in a 2008 murder, have disappeared after they were set free as part of a secret early release program...[More]

The E*Trade Baby wants to show you his shocked face:

Good ol' Illinois! Maybe if they enacted even more "gun control"...

[Via Mack H]

For A Good Cause

One commissioner has expressed concern about spending public money on a private entity, but Selvage said the money was collected legitimately and for a good cause. [More]

If that's not the oldest trick in the tyranny playbook...

When they feel comfortable enough to drop all "public safety" pretexts to cover their armed robbery scam, you know it still works, though.

[Via Ed M]

We're the Only Ones Environmentally Pro-Active Enough

In March, the county police director revoked Vecin's control of a $5 million fund intended to fight environmental crime. Instead, the money was used to buy items such as assault rifles, expensive sunglasses, flat-screen TVs and sport utility vehicles. [More]

What else would we expect considering the "Only Ones" environment he found himself in?

At least he didn't disrupt any turtle nests.

[Via Ed M]

We're the Only Ones Innocently Explaining Enough

His attorney says there's "an innocent explanation" to the allegations. [More]

Yeah, every time I fake accident reports to get reimbursed for unused Def Leppard tickets I'm amazed at how that's misunderstood.

Ditto for stealing my neighbor's tractor.

Nice to see I'm not the "Only One."

[Via Ed M]

Mr. Spox

The Intergalactic Chessmaster as imagined by the Fifty Caliber Institute:

Wait until all of the facts are in; watch how NRA's "Mister Spock" (Chris Cox) moves the various pieces on the political game board we call Congress.

Good grief. They're serious.

Being one of "those people [they] don't consider mainstream Americans," this hardly surprises me.

You know, someone who doesn't consider this a game at all.

Someone who looks at a ridiculous statement like this...

The stakes are high - nothing less than the ultimate survival of American freedom is at stake.

...and realizes they don't have a clue if they seriously think this will be over once pawns like themselves have been removed from the board.

Also: Vanderboegh serves up a steaming platter of Gagh.

Why should 'disturbing' turtles result in lifetime gun ban?

If convicted of a felony, the privacy-yearning Ms. Schultz will have more than that stripped from her. She will also be, by federal law, a "prohibited person," forbidden to own a gun. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column compares the value of your life against that of a turtle. According to the government, you come up short.

Also scream at a genocide documentary that advocates a monopoly of violence, and wait with the rest of us as we anticipate Master telling us what we can talk about and when.

This Day in History: June 24

Washington decided to give his men another day’s rest and, meantime, to hold a council of war at 9 o’clock on the 24th , in complete defiance of an eclipse of the sun. [More]
