A Perfect Score!

Obama Administration Approves 3 Million New Immigrant Workers in One Year -- Congress to fund ‘100 percent’ of Obama administration’s immigration priorities [More]
I certainly am glad Republicans won control of  both houses!  What a difference that makes!

Now let's bring on those anchor babies and step up those naturalizations.

We're the Only Ones Certifiable Enough

The board in charge of certifying law enforcement officers in Colorado will decide Monday whether to start requiring all agencies in the state to conduct psychological and physical evaluations before hiring applicants. [More]
And spoil all the fun?

Well Alrighty Then

Do you think he's just goofing around trying to get a rise, or is he really the mental defective he appears to be?

Hoplogophobia

The expressions “silver bullet,” “pull the trigger,” “shoot from the hip” and “under the gun” are used in everyday language across our campus, and commonly even by those in leadership positions. I hear these and similar terms at least once a week, if not once a day. It always makes me cringe. [More]
My, aren't you just a fragile thing.

I think I just coined a new term for fear of words about weapons, thanks to this cringing dweeb. If a contraction of hoplo and logo is not allowed, it would be hoplologophobia, but I think the shorter version sounds better.

Where do they get these psychically crippled academics from? Hey, whatever you do, don't tell him what Virginia Tech filed his portrait as.

Facebook Fallahwers

A secret U.S. policy that prohibits immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas was reportedly kept in place over fears of a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations.” [More]
I mean really, why would they?

With Rotors Come Responsibilities

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced a ... registration process for owners of small unmanned aircraft (UAS) weighing more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) and less than 55 pounds (approx. 25 kilograms) including payloads such as on-board cameras. [More]
But don't worry-- the velvet glove on the iron fist is "streamlined and user friendly."

The Hijra

Remember, for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day, and they're the ones who tell us "our diversity is our strength."  [More]

Everybody here already read and forwarded the link for this piece, right?

The Cross That Man Had to Bear

And...ah...when I turned around, Mary Jo and the cah were gone... [More]

Save yourself the sympathetic historical fiction clean up job and read about what that scumbag really 'had to go through."

Bill of Rights Day

Here's the classic resource from JPFO. [More]

Still, I wish someone would pull this radical aside and tell him to tone it down with all his insurrectionist remarks about "guarantee[ing] our fledgling Nation would never succumb to the tyranny" and then lauding "The same American instinct that sparked our revolution," because he's making us all look bad.

Yes, It's That Easy

Anyone who can't be trusted with a backpack can't be trusted without a custodian. [More]

I'm tempted to say more on this.  We'll see how the day goes.

Tell Me This Originated on The Onion

Disappointing Fermin

The bishops must urge the faithful to support candidates who stand up to the National Rifle Association (NRA) and advance the cause of gun control. [More]
Sorry Verm, aside from your wanting them to back abortion candidates, they focused on porn. You'll nonetheless be happy to know they retained language "supporting reasonable restrictions on access to assault weapons and handguns," but the call to political arms you wanted never happened.

What do you do with an Opposite Day "progressive" who makes an argument against self-defense based on Locke? Aside from shake your head and hope the kid in the picture never needs a man around...?

[Yeah, I know this is all from a month ago-- I set the links aside and never got to 'em 'til now. Anybody want their money back, form a line.]

We're the Only Ones Misquoted Enough?

 I NEVER made the statement Mr. Williams claims. [More]
Here's what Lee says.

Here's what prompted the sheriff's denial. It includes the source story  by MARGIE MENZEL - NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA, with these quotes:
The Florida Sheriffs Association would not comment Thursday. But Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, a staunch opponent of open carry, said the four amendments wouldn't make the bill acceptable to him --- or safe for people who openly display their guns.
For instance, he said, if an officer arrives at the scene of a crime and sees someone with a weapon, "At a minimum, they're going to be thrown down on the ground with a gun pointed at them --- or worse."
And if good citizen with a concealed weapon walks into, say, a bank during an armed robbery, Gualtieri added, "he's going to take one in the chest because he's a threat."
Here's the modified story as appearing in The Daytona Beach News-Journal with the whole end of the original story cut out.

I wonder if Margie scribbled or recorded...

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

GOP attempts to insert language into the bill to impose tougher controls on Syrian and Iraqi refugees were unsuccessful. [More]
That's for one of two reasons:

  1. They're gutless and stupid, and fear the Opposite Day effect of Obama not signing because he doesn't get everything he wants being blamed on them, including accusations of being unwilling to "compromise" and being responsible for the government shutting down.
  2. They're the flip side of the same coin, and stand to benefit leaving things the way they are.
