Democrats acting as Democrats despite Herald Democrat hype

What “America First” vs. partisan agenda examples  do the county apparatchiks offer that fulfill their representation of being “good for everybody”--right before they let slip that they’re “defining ourselves as Democrats” ? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks up the definition of "domestic enemy."

Killing Zimmerman

And if you don't agree, you're a racist hater. [Read]

Vanderboegh Medical Update

He's home.

He's waiting for the home health care nurse to get there and hook him up to antibiotics.  That takes its toll. He posted some yesterday, but probably won't post today until after that happens.

Equivalence?

Stand your ground discrimination?  [Read]

Or something entirely different but being exploited regardless, knowing the easily-manipulated won't bother with details and distinctions (begin on deposition pg. 27)?

Plus, they evidently had to call out SWAT and give her an ultimatum to get her to come out...

We're the Only Ones Fast and Furious Enough

Not the government gunwalking operation this time, but they're still putting people at risk of being violently killed...[Read]

We're Making a List and Checking it Twice

We're gonna find out who's naughty or nice,
ATF is coming to town. [Read]

And how they treat that FOIA request should tell us all we need to know about whether or not they think there's a damn thing we can do about it.

Really?

Alan Korwin got his published yesterday:

Says he:
Today's Arizona Republic, Sunday paper, p. B10, 350K circ., virtually no editing -- if they had run this info before the governor's veto, the bill might have passed. Instead, the entire argument took place on non-existent "facts" and hype and misinformation. Rights denial for imaginary safety (not even for real safety). 
That's one of the reasons why this project can make a difference. Will you help make a difference and write a letter of your own?

All You Need to Know About Frustrated Antis

Frustrated that state law will not let them regulate handguns during the Republican National Convention, city officials are considering a direct appeal to Gov. Rick Scott.[More]
See, it's not just the law that frustrates them--it's our very system of government, with separation of power checks and balances.

They want a strongman dictator to issue edicts.

A Question for Network Executives

'American Guns' star Richard Wyatt says gun control talk spurs gun sales [More

American Guns, Sons of Guns, Top Shot...

Say, when are you guys going to make a "reality show" about anti-gunners?

Besides the "news"...

A Critical Failure

So began a series of critical failures by Metro to protect its passengers. [More]
You're how old, and you still think that's their responsibility?  And you think exhibiting an utter lack of situational awareness and preparedness puts none of the responsibility on you?  The fact that you put the emphasis on "fee[ling] safe" as opposed to being safe pretty much says it all.

Here's the thing about Metro's finest: If you're eating candy bars and french fries, that's one thing--chances are they can ruin your day and still go home at the end of their shift. Otherwise...

And by the way, "stalking" the suspect meant you wouldn't have been able to claim "stand your ground" if he'd turned on you, and you then had to use all necessary force to defend yourself. Not that you could in DC anyway...

What's in a Word?

Police say a man attacked a 65-year-old woman with a knife and ripped the earrings from her body. [More] 

As someone who has spent no small amount of time teaching and giving examples to two growing boys about what it means to be a "man," I conclude that cowardly animal and his accomplice don't qualify. There is nothing quite so low as the type of evil parasite who would victimize those trying to help. The existence of such almost makes me rethink my position on roadside crucifixions.
