I'm reminded of a line by one of The Keepers on Star Trek: "Wrong thinking is punishable. Right thinking will be as quickly rewarded."This is nothing short of child abuse under color of authority. [More]

The Cool Part of Living in a Diverse Community
I'm still waiting to hear it. [More]
What about the diversity of people who like bacon?
Prozis. Opposite Day.
These diseased people, like Mayor Frenchie, are a pathogen. We need a public health model.
We need a vaccine.
This right there tells me I'd never eat at Sneakers, just for being miserable cowards who don't have the guts to tell fanatics who aren't even customers to go to Jahannam.

The Way Things Are

I have written numerous trouble tickets to Examiner and they blame Disqus. I don't know if it is because people have put urls in their comments to trigger an auto-moderation or what, but I have seen obvious spam comments allowed through while timely, thoughtful and informative ones have been delayed until weeks after anyone is even bothering to revisit the story. I've also speculated it might be comments flagged by trolls and even blogged about it.
Between that and driving readers away with obnoxious pop-ups and autoplay videos, I lose subscribers almost as quickly as I gain them, plus take no small amount of heat for something I have no control over.
I have no solution for you. I wish I had an economic option to post somewhere else, but I have not been successful in making that happen.
I've talked before about the need to use the AdBlock Plus add-on to keep the intrusive ads from taking over, and believe it is everyone's responsibility to learn how, do it and practice "safe surfing" instead of complaining to me about something within their control. Still, that makes sharing my links problematic for many.
I also have to put each article through a "Facebook Debugger" after it publishes, or else either the wrong thumbnail will appear or an "Uh-oh Examiner" message will post instead. That screen capture included in this post is hardly unique.
Then I get the people who complain that gun magazines suck because all they do is whore for manufacturers, so my stuff there is off-limits for them, and others who have chewed me out for doing stuff over at The Shooter's Log because that makes me a sell-out to Cheaper Than Dirt, and I can't wait to see how the fallout over JPFO will make me persona non grata to some. And it's not like NRA or its loyalists want anything to do with the views I often express.
It is what it is. I'm doing what I can. If it isn't enough, I'll have to make a decision about what other options are open to me.
A man's gotta eat. I've figured out how to do that before, and will again.
And no, I don't expect anybody to do anything about this. It's mine to figure out.
Correlation?
I dunno. Seems a bit early to be drawing conclusions, before significant real-world examples have been set. [More]
The Finest Election Money Can Buy
Who needs grassroots when you have super-wealthy "progressives" laying down AstroTurf by the hectare? [More]
He does it all over, because he knows best.
Don't worry about it. You're not sophisticated enough to understand.

My Kind of Party
If only they would disarm you and me. [More]
I can't tell you how many times this happens at events I host.

"All Clear"
Isn't that what the Eloi said after the Morlocks had captured enough of them in the Sphinx, turned off the sirens and closed the big metal door? [More]

We're the Only Ones Dated Enough
Court documents show that Fairfield Police Officers Stephen Ruiz and Jacob Glashoff used company time and equipment to search for women on internet dating sites. The documents also show that two used the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System – a statewide police database – to screen the women they liked. [More]If the women weren't doing anything wrong, what have they got to hide?
Oh... that's not the issue...?
Because we're all being screened in the interests of somebody...
Murphy's Law
Democratic State Representative and candidate for U.S. representative Pat Murphy said Tuesday that if the underage migrants who have come to the U.S. from Central America aren’t given a “pathway for citizenship” they could become terrorists....Murphy, who has called himself “a liberal’s liberal,” was endorsed by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee...[More]
And that right there is all you really need to know.
He sounds more like an extortionist's extortionist, and a domestic enemy's domestic enemy...
Oh, look: He's also a gungrabber's gungrabber!

The Top 10
Well, yeah. The misery and terror are, for the most part, happening in other communities ... housing those people ... [More]

The Art of the Possible
Fouchier complained, “People are acting like I am some mad scientist” after he and his team “mutated the hell out of H5N1”. He explained “I wanted to see what was possible” [More]I used this general topic last month as an intro for a JPFO piece. What I reads here is evil and insane, and wholly unsurprising.
"Politics is the art of the possible"...? Anyone think a bill or hearings would rein this in and hold the people responsible accountable?
Anyone...?
Bueller...?
