The Fears May Have Been Unfounded
FDNY’s New Hire May Pose a ‘Danger’ to Public Safety, But a Judge Ordered Them to Do It Anyway [More]And what do the taxcows get for $81K, aside from someone who can't pass the physical?
They get diversity, of course. And "priority hires."
But don't worry, she may not be hurting anyone besides herself. She couldn't even get off the truck and check the damn rig during hazmat training without fracturing her foot. And if she goes on permanent disability, not only will she no longer be a danger to everyone around her, but at only three-quarters salary, think of all the money that will save the city!

The Only Word for It IS 'Tyranny'
“I make no apologies for emphatically stating that all three of them are plainly and simply advocating for tyranny in the truest sense of the word. Everything that they are calling for is completely antithetical our rights as Americans. These proposals not only violate our 2nd Amendment rights, but our 14th Amendment rights as well. Their rhetoric about blanket gun control should concern every American regardless of their views on guns. They are actually advocating for the elimination of due process for citizens”. [More]Somebody had better explain that to Trump. His enemies have been waiting for a serious misstep that will turn supporters off. This may be it, although he appears to have left some wiggle room to elaborate on his inartful "known to be an enemy of the state" qualifier.
Kapos for Kristallnacht
Belgian Jewish leaders denounced calls for their governments to issue gun permits to members of their communities this weekend, saying that such efforts could lead to harrowing consequences. [More]Because G-d knows being universally disarmed never results in harrowing consequences, right? You unconscionably stupid and cowardly Judenrat traitors to your people have learned nothing, and should change your rendered-meaningless slogan to "Again."
Those who wish for a chance at living will let you subversive, craven fools die if you wish, but will not let you board them on any more trains.
Another Indisputable Truism
A 91-year-old man was beaten, then doused with gasoline before he and his home in northwest Detroit were set afire by a burglar, police said. [More]A criminal who can't be trusted with gasoline can't be trusted with oxygen.

Your Tax Dollars at Work
Millions of dollars later, Maryland has officially decided that its 15-year effort to store and catalog the "fingerprints" of thousands of handguns was a failure ... the system — plagued by technological problems — never solved a single case. [More]Naturally, no one will be held accountable.
And naturally, this will never be brought up by those secure in their useful idiot constituencies demanding similar measures elsewhere. Hell, there will be some "leaders not afraid to take on the NRA" who can ride such proposals to victory
Just Too Convenient
My spider sense is tingling, but I will draw no conclusions until more is known. [More]
That won't stop others with an agenda from exploiting this to the fullest.

Dead Elephant Death Throes
I wonder if Rancid Prepuce is dumb enough to think distance gives him cover. Because if he doesn't get in front of this, condemn it and come up with real disincentives for those behind it, the only possible conclusion is they have his approval.
Big Results!
Almost 1,000 people turned out and it was a glorious day to get guns off the streets ... the gun turn-in apparently resulted in a single BB pistol and a single sheathed hunting knife being “taken off the streets.” [More]But look at all the press it got.
"Peace in Our Time"
Who thinks the guy who shoots whales with crossbows is intimidated by the guy who has poolside squirt gun fights?
A Textbook Case
A striking number of leading mental health experts are concerned enough about the possibility of a Trump presidency that they’re willing to speak out, publicly, about the candidate’s “Textbook narcissistic personality disorder.” [More]Really?
They're willing to offer public, reputation-impacting "professional" diagnoses on a "patient" they've never met based solely on how a demonstrably self-interested media selectively presents him? And have their "findings" shared in a biased publication, but one that is prominent enough to attract attention from and propagation by other media, with the intent of swaying voters in a political election of national significance?
As an aside, it appears the author of this piece doesn't understand there's a difference between psychiatrists and psychologists.
To a layman, this looks to be a textbook case of fraud and malpractice for the purposes of manipulation. Were I part of Trump's campaign, I'd be looking into filing ethics complaints with the various certification boards, universities and professional associations these witch doctors shake their bones in. It would also be relevant to determine their political sympathies.
If they wold abdicate their professional responsibilities here, where else would they take a back seat to an agenda? The public deserves to be protected from such quacks.
We're the Only Ones Conveying Enough
"Let me tell you that when he is convicted or pleads guilty to that charge that the badge that he had as a United States Border Patrol agent will be destroyed - it will never be worn again by another Border Patrol agent," Kerlikowske said. [More]Taking blow to the Windy City sounds like overkill, but blaming the badge sounds positively primitive. Which, coming from a "progressive" Only One, makes Opposite Day "sense"...
