BLM declares Burning Man Second Amendment-free zone

Second, where does this guy get off, dictating away the right to keep and bear arms? Who first decided there was a “need” to do this? Who authorized it? What is the approval process? Did it have to go beyond a district manager? What other federal agencies think they have this power? Can any bureaucrat declare himself the boss of you, or does one need to be a certain pay grade?

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report smells something burning, and it's not what the hippies are smoking or torching.

We're the Only Ones Crotchety Enough

A South Los Angeles woman who had dropped her two children off at a police station later died after an encounter with officers in which one of them kicked her in the groin. [More]

That'll teach her to go to them for help!

Easily Offended

Good grief.  If anyone takes offense at this, maybe the problem isn't the group they belong to--maybe it's just them. [Read]

And speaking of "Going Dutch," Vanderboegh exposes more regressive tilting at windmills and the latest finger sticking in Chris Matthews.  I guess we need to start using "Chicago-Americans" or some such, lest we be tarred with the dreaded "R" word.

A Nun, a Minister and a Rabbi Walk into a Panel...

...and show just how dangerous perceived moral authority without knowledge and wisdom can be. [Read]

We're the Only Ones Strapped Enough

Seduction of the Innocents

I wish I could find a clip from one of the "Airplane" movies, where they were parodying the old coffee commercial where you could hear what the characters were thinking. The father 's thoughts were along the lines of "How was I to know she was only 14? Besides, she wanted it. They all want it. Every one of them. All the time."

That's what this unmitigated creepy old pervert reminds me of.

Always Think Forfeiture Redux*

Yet another agency gets authority to seize cash that might have something to do with drugs. [More]

Quibble: I would replace "gets" with "usurps."

We want something from Holder and he tells us to go to hell.

He wants something from us and he puts us through hell.

And in true dictatorial fashion:

AG Holder’s rulemaking announcement declared that such changes are exempt from the general notice and comment requirements because the department determined that the change does not affect individual rights and obligations.

AG Holder also declared that this rule change lacks sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement.

We're the Only Ones Overwhelming Enough

With a helicopter gunship overhead and drug-sniffing dogs on the ground, about 100 law enforcement officers swarmed a Wilmington neighborhood late Tuesday...[More]

This Day in History: August 31

I have this Day received from General Gates Despatches, containing the disagreeable Intelligence of the total Defeat of the Army under his Command; Copies of which are enclosed. A most unhappy Event, and unexpected immediately after the Intelligence we had just received of the several Advantages gained by our Troops in that quarter. We have no particular Account of the Numbers killed or taken. Report saith that Generals Smallwood & Gist and Colonel Armand are among the slain, and that Baron de Kalb is wounded & a Prisoner. We wish for more particular Intelligence than General Gates's Letter before it is published by Authority. [More]
