Using Administration Criteria, James Taylor Contest Discriminates and Disenfranches

If untold millions of illegal aliens have “earned the right to be citizens,” why haven’t they also earned the right to win OFA’s James Taylor contest? ... OFA believes it should be way easier to vote than to win James Taylor tickets. [More]

If they run a background check, will your name be on the secret "No James List"?

The One That Got Away

High court rejects appeal over ban on guns at post offices [More]

I plan on addressing this soon, probably tomorrow on Oath Keepers.

Where There's a Will, There's a Third Way

Yeah, George, go with Garland. [More]

That would be the same George Will who wrote:

Whatever right the Second Amendment protects is not as important as it was 200 years ago, when the requirements of self-defense and food-gathering made gun ownership almost universal. But whatever the right is, there it is ... Gun control advocates who want to square their policy preferences with the Constitution should squarely face the need to deconstitutionalize the subject by repealing the embarrassing amendment.

What an irrelevant, cloistered nitwit, representing everything the base has absolutely had it with the Establishment over.

No Repercussions?

The disturbing pattern of liberals conflating the idea of protests or free speech with criminal disruption of commerce and infrastructure continued yesterday... [More]

And will continue today and tomorrow...

Even if there's no "legal"price to pay, a growing number of Americans is seeing these vandals for what they are and getting sick and tired of both them and their "cause." Don't be surprised to see a corresponding "unintended consequences" political backlash.  Especially if (when) there's violence in Cleveland.

A Stunning Development

Supreme Court: 2nd Amendment applies to Stun Guns [More]

But...but...but...the Founders could never have imagined....

This one could establish interesting precedent for future attempts to deny technological developments based on "common use at the time" arguments.  Not that I think they're gonna let us anywhere near these babies...

UPDATE: Bluesgal sent a link to the decision. She also has a relevant question:

[I]f they are applying Heller to the "Stun Gun" and the right to carry one, why does this not then apply to the "gun" as well in Massachusetts and elsewhere?

What Would Total Enforced Gun Control Look Like?

Pretty much like this... [More]

Campus Hijinks

Funny, we just got done talking about those in the last post, and another example pops up:

Queer Devil Worshipers for a Better Future

Time was, sending the first child to college was the often unattainable fulfillment of a dream for families that started with nothing and endured a lifetime of labor and sacrifice most in our generation have never known. So it figures the "progressives" need to spit on that and make it profane, and as with all things Opposite Day, are steering toward a future of misery, horror and death.

Covering Their Tracks

We have more developments in re "College Debate Team Argues Whites Should Die":

[Click to enlarge]

This was a "Response to Skeptics" note under the video.  Guess what you see at the link now?

Ditto for "The University President just ADMITTED this video is authentic: https://twitter.com/PIPability/lists/status":

Hmmm... where have we seen this technique applied before?

Are you people reaching for excuses ready to focus your concerns on why the powers that be want this to go away, instead of coming up with unsubstantiated speculations to absolve the "debaters"?

Coming Soon, to a Terminal Near You.

I wonder if they had "rigorous security screenings"...?

Sharing is Caring

There is a huge wealth of knowledge out there, so many intelligent voices, and brilliant articles – and many of them are ones you have read and learned from – but, then you move along, and line your proverbial birdcage with those articles and blogs, when you COULD have shared them with a friend or two (or 1,000) with the click of a button. [More]

Agreed.

Why not share a message about where roads lead?

The Art of the Steal

Rancid Prepuce and Dead Elephant co-conspirators plot out a heist. [More]

Where are the McMinn County veterans when you really need 'em? If the GOP Establishment gets away with this, I suspect many of the latter day Athens counterparts will be staying home this time.

Stick a Fork in Him, He's Done

['Top Chef' winner Paul] Qui told police he "only was grabbing and holding her." [More]

Why tell them anything?

Did you think Mike Martinez giving you the "Qui to the city" made you anything more than a stage prop? Guess what Martinez wants to do to everyone.

And now, "thanks" to Lautenberg, you go to the head of the line. In spite of those marks on your face.
