Results posted at this writing (and still being tabulated) on the Indiana Secretary of State Elections Division website show Mourdock winning handily over incumbent Senator Dick Lugar, and Democrat candidate Joe Donnelly significantly trailing them both. [More]Today's hopefully last Gun Rights Examiner report brings some welcome breaking election news.

Anti-gun Sen. Lugar loses to pro-gun challenger
House vote to cut DOJ salaries over stonewalling symbolic, not substantive
"1,000,000"? [More]Today's third Gun Rights Examiner offering covers breaking news that's not all that awe-inspiring in terms of convincing us that anybody's really taking things seriously here.
Issa sends Justice Dept. contempt draft to supportive Democrats
Issa's letter today gives Rep. Altmire and his Democratic colleagues the opportunity to demonstrate they were serious about what they told the President, and their response and willingness (or unwillingness) to support stronger methods of persuasion will be telling. [More]Today's second Gun Rights Examiner report notes it's time to separate the sincere from the partisan opportunists.
New ‘pro-gun’ group backs more gun show 'gun control'
He also knows that his preemptive surrender does absolutely nothing to impact criminal violence, and that those demanding to close the mythical “gun show loophole” won’t be satisfied with his volunteered compromise, but instead, especially if they can progress without a fight, will use it as a beachhead from which to launch their next assault. One simply doesn’t get to be a top lobbyist and recognized subject matter authority without knowing full well how that works. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders why anyone with any credibility or sense of historical perspective thinks appeasement is a good idea.
Comments on Comments
Blogger has changed the way certain things are done. I notice comments come into my inbox that don't appear on the moderation page. I just found some of them submitted from late April until recently in the "spam" folder and marked them as OK, but now they seem to have disappeared completely without posting.
Anyway, if you put in a comment and don't see it, I just wanted you to know it's not because I'm ignoring or redlisting you.

Vanderboegh Medical Update
I just got off the phone with Mike. He says to tell people he's still struggling and it's going to take a while. He says he may post later, but he's said that the past few days.
I'm not going to go into further details right now, but suffice it to say he is *very* uncomfortable at present, and I reiterate my appeal for those interested in his well-being to please hold off on sending him emails and /or comments he will feel compelled to read/answer/moderate.

Raw Intel Validation
Anybody live around Colorado State University? Have you heard anything about or witnessed unannounced traffic stops last Friday with National Guardsmen manning checkpoints?
We're the Only Ones Paramilitary Enough
That's how Ben Wolfinger views his Sheriff's Department at @ 56:12 into the video. [Watch]
That seems a bit different from the official Mission Statement.

The Royal "We"
"There is no need for civilians, including House members, to own firearms. Humans are unpredictable. We may lose control of ourselves when we are too emotional," Pramono, of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), said Monday. [More]Sounds like somebody has a serious case of projection.
So the armed enforcers protecting government bigwigs like him aren't human?
Bernd Again
File this under the rubric "Only in America" - sticks, poles and water guns will be banned from the centre of Tampa at the Republican Party's national convention next August. Guns, however, will be allowed. [More]Heavens!
This is the same anti-gun fascism groupie who thinks Hugo Chavez is a "rock star."
Not Surprisingly
Not surprisingly, Media Matters has consistently refused to let me post responses in their comment sections. [More]They've done that to me, too.It's basically because they're commie liars, so it's no surprise that the one thing they need to suppress is the truth.
On the plus side, they're transparently incompetent commie liars. Just like what Mike Vanderboegh has termed the "Southern Preposterous Lie Center," who, again not surprisingly, "are not really set up" to expose blatant hate groups like Media Matters.
A Republican "Member"
"Any of these guns that falls into the wrong hands is a potential murder weapon," said Mark McGrath, a Republican member of the City Council. [More]Remember that if this RINO "member"ever runs for higher office.
We're the Only Ones Out of Options Enough
"We ran out of options so I got the end of my Taser and I probably ... I just start smashing his face to hell,"[More]Well hell, that sounds like an option. Especially for some scofflaw who tells you he can't breathe. You know, the kind of menace to society who begs you to stop and calls out in agony and terror for his Dad...
As the mouthpiece said, the "Only One" was not only permitted to brutally beat a man to death, he was required to.
You got a problem with that? You want some of this?

The Issue Goes Way Beyond Body Image
Teen takes on Seventeen, says magazine contributes to body image issues [More]My wife and I were blessed with sons but not with daughters. If we had been, they'd have been raised like my parents raised my sisters--with full access to and encouragement for microscopes, erector sets, baseball mitts and BB guns. I remember my older sister, when she was about 10, correcting a mistaken assumption when we were flying overseas, and Pan Am gave us boys "Junior Clipper Pilot" pins (real metal, with real pins on them, back before the days of TSA lunacy), and they tried to give her one that said "Junior Clipper Stewardess."
Strong, capable and intelligent women are more than people to cherish--they are the vital other half to a free and rational society. Judging from "popular" magazine, entertainment, commercials, what passes for "literature," etc., "someone" understands that quite well, and does their best to subvert it, all the while waving a collectivist banner deceptively called "feminism," and condemning individualists as sexist troglodytes--especially individualists who encourage everyone, regardless of sex, to be self-reliant and capable of armed defense.
South Park really nailed things here.
Meanwhile, Over at the Birthplace of Liberty
Bake sales, the calorie-laden standby cash-strapped classrooms, PTAs and booster clubs rely on, will be outlawed from public schools as of Aug. 1 as part of new no-nonsense nutrition standards, forcing fundraisers back to the blackboard to cook up alternative ways to raise money for kids. [More]Oh, wise permission givers--save us from our choices and ourselves!
Why would you trust someone with a gun if you don't even trust them with a cupcake? And do you get the feeling Dr. Lauren Smith and State Sen. Susan Fargo would like nothing better than to put us all on a strict regimen of Timothy hay and kibble?
Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise
In place of the two terms, Scotland Yard suggested using “greenlist” and “redlist.” [More]
This Day in History: May 8
May 8, 1780 was one day with the fiercest shelling of the town of Charleston by the British fleet during the Siege of Charleston. Many buildings and homes were set on fire and panic ensued. The locals pressed the military to surrender. [More]
