We're the Only Ones Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar Enough

In a little honky-tonky village in Texas*...[More]

Gunny Ermey Lion Kill Evokes Visceral Reactions

...cowardly and cruel... sickening snaps... [More]

Y'know, that does work on the emotions. For instance, in me, it stimulates the urge to break out my Center for Biological Diversity gorilla hand ashtray and enjoy one of those cigars I get that are rolled from tobacco grown on slashed and burned rainforest land...

Metcalf ‘death threats’ warrant official investigation

“Death threats poured in by email,” he writes.

Really? Actual “death threats”? And they “poured in”?

Each one of those would be a crime.

Have these “death threats” been reported to the authorities? Which ones?

If not, why not? [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner advocates all death threats be taken seriously -- assuming we’re not just being subjected to agenda-driven “legitimate media” hyperbole...

We're the Only Ones Increasing in Numbers Enough

A fifth Omaha police officer has been fired over the controversial arrests of three brothers at a north Omaha home last year. [More]

How many more bad apples before the barrel becomes suspect...?

I remember posting on this video back when, and in utter disbelief that this many "resources" were used in the response.

We're the Only Ones Wounded Enough

...when a firearm carried by another officer discharged... [More]

I hate it when mine do that.

We're the Only Ones Perp-Walking Enough

They do it because they can. And because, based on that grin, they enjoy it. [More]

What a Misleading Headline

He didn't open fire on them because they were "shoplifting suspects." [More]

Hey, notice any different treatment here, with, say this guy...?

We're the Only Ones Golden Parachuted Enough

I've been in the wrong line of work all my career. I never got a termination settlement like this from any of my past employers... [More]

Much Ado About Nothing?

“If my daughter had done this to a teacher, there would have been 180 days’ (suspension) regardless of the trouble she would have been in.” [More]

That's the thing to be upset about.

Captain's Log

A Double-Standard?

Say it ain't so, although in Krispie's case, I can't get too worked up... [More]

"Almost Unimaginable"...

...that they refer to Fast and Furious as "flawed" and proceed from there. [More]

UPDATE: You hear me, Issa, Grassley and Johnny-come-Bob-Goodlattelately?

Evidently not.

Tonight on "Stop the Threat"

ATSNtv presents "Lunch Break Robbery." [Details]

Justice Delayed, Justice Denied

Jeff Knox does a superb job of weaving all of the complicated points and events into a comprehensive summary narrative that brings us up to date on the travesty that is the Reese case, and the injustices they are still facing. [More]

He's the only one talking about this* besides yours truly and the Tea Party Patriots of Luna County. Why do you suppose that is?

To give you an idea on "legitimate media/Authorized Journalist" priorities, if you do a Google news feed search for the term "Reese," you will learn all about actress Witherspoon's "bikini body" in story after story after story.

I guess that's why they're "real reporters," deserving of special Feinsteinian status and protections, and we're not.

*I am reminded Matt Bracken champions the Reese family on Facebook.

THIS Tool Again

LaTourettesyndrome was my congressman until he left for greener pastures. I wondered why he was so worthless until I figured out being so was part of his agenda. [More]

He was one of two "Republicans" (Scott Rigell being the other) to vote against the Eric Holder criminal contempt charge.
