Control the Language, Control the Narrative

The Library of Congress has announced that it will use “unauthorized immigration” and “noncitizen” to  replace “illegal aliens” in its bibliographical records. [More]
Why don't we just cut to the chase and call them "Heroes of the Revolution"?

Lawmaker Lunacy Symptomatic of Racist Social Engineering Destroying America

For Chambers, such behavior is expected. He’s been getting away with spreading his special brand of lunatic hate for a long time. As Nebraska’s “longest-serving” state senator, he’s confident he can keep getting reelected no matter what he says or does. [More]
He's racist. He's anti-gun.  He talks about "mowing down" his colleagues in the legislature. And he'll keep on getting re-elected no matter what he says or does.

"Streetside Shooter"

An active shooter engages a group of friends walking down the street. The shooter, unstable and fumbling, makes the split second decision to fire on the crowd. A bystander takes control of the situation and goes into action. [More]

Inquiries About Mike

I'm getting some, especially due to the lack of posting on SSI.  I've emailed him asking him to call me if he's up to it.  I think it's for the best to leave it at that, because if he can he will, and if he can't, it wouldn't be helpful or considerate for me to call to him.

I would say the same goes for most emails. Knowing he has shown a tendency of being compelled to address them, is it really necessary to add to burdens?

For now, the best thing to do is pray for our friend, if you're the kind who does. And who knows? Maybe he'll bounce back soon and fill us in on things.

The next best thing is to demonstrate gratitude.

Freedom's Safest Place?

So let me get this straight -- we have to let what Wayne calls "demons" and monsters" in, and then can only turn to that "single issue" as a reaction after the damage is done?  That's freedom? That's safe?

Speaking of "single issue," they sure seem to be expanding it, right down to highlighting IRA audits, Benghazi and Venezuela.

Guess what they won't talk about. Grover & insider pals wouldn't like that.

Petitioning for Redress

Please contact your congressman.  Urge him or her to call Congressman Frank Guinta and become an original cosponsor of the interstate firearms purchase bill... [More]
Realistically, ambitious politicians are not going to be rocking any boats until after the election. Then there's the question of providing the right motivation. Even if it does pass and get signed into law by the next president, expect state lawsuits to tie things up for years.

Still, I guess it wouldn't hurt to put your congressthing on notice, assuming yours is even approachable on the subject. A few of us have been unsuccessful at getting groups to adopt the idea of writing to those who can be persuaded, even if from a different district or state  -- after all, the "laws" they pass affect all of us, and it's not like they don't accept campaign contributions from anywhere...

A quick way to bypass those exclusionary contact forms on congressional websites: CSPAN has the Twitter accounts for all federal reps. I haven't found time to come up with a "worth contacting" list. Culling everyone with a "D" or lower from GOA's House and Senate pages would probably be a good place to start.

That way, you won't need to waste your time appealing to "safe" seat Dems like Feinstein and Schumer, whose staffers will just laugh at you. What you can do is contact more pliable politicians from other areas, and persuade or threaten with economic/political consequences as appropriate.

Finally, an alien "progressives" agree should be illegal!

Separate Ways

It just didn't work out. [More]

But not before she talked him into giving up his "cowardly killing machines."

I wonder if he now feels that was an idiot move, and if he's rearmed yet...

All You Need is Love

That and $40B or so... [More]

It's You Haters' Fault

"Inflammatory comments about patrolling and securing Muslim neighbors or barring Muslims from entering this country, having an immigration policy based on religion, is counterproductive to our homeland security and national security interests," he said. [More]
Plus Norquist and Kasich and the Pope don't like it much.  Besides, we're "rigorous!"
