Winding Down

Will be back online Monday. May get one more article done tonight. Please hold all correspondence and comments. Thanks.

UPDATE: Sorry, been so rushed and pulled in so many different directions I did not stop to think people would quite naturally speculate. No, this has nothing to do with Mike.

And it also looks like my plans to complete a response to this will need to wait a few days. I'm only about half through.

You might want to keep an eye on my GUNS Magazine page -- my latest, "A Mess of Pottage," was submitted on deadline yesterday, and it might get posted before I return. In the mean time, feel free to browse around and don't be shy about commenting there.

That's One Explanation

Sounds pretty plausible, but I'm still leaning toward "Because they're possessed."

About That 'White 6-Footer'

  [More]

But...but...but...

UPDATE: The Daily Bruin removed the link where the ID'd the shooter as white and 6' tall,instead of leaving it and offering a later correction. They'll make great "Authorized Journalists" some day.

They sure are being circumspect with ol' Maniak's background details.

And how can you have a gun-free zone lockdown if you don't have any locks?

You Don't Have to Live Like a Refugee

A family in Lawrenceville, a suburb of Atlanta, said they were attacked by an unknown Muslim woman wearing a full burqa simply because they were flying an American flag for Memorial Day. [More]

Because nothing says "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" like government embedding Somali immigrants in the heartland.

And these damned intolerant haters allowed a 14-year-old access to a gun...?

Right for the Job

“Donald Trump is unlike any presidential candidate we’ve seen, maybe ever, certainly in decades, in that he does not cross the threshold of fitness for the job,” said Jake Sullivan, Mrs. Clinton’s top policy adviser, who helped draft the speech. [More]

Says the genius who "sent 'top secret' messages to her private account."

And then there's this:

Clinton IT aide to plead Fifth in email case

She does nothing but surround herself with "top men," doesn't she?

Rallying Point

A political prisoner could use some help.

We're the Only Ones Falsifying Enough

Highly Contested

So why not throw your hat in the ring? [More]

Alleviating Hearing Impairments

ATF has amended the hearing process, and quoted FFLGuard’s 2012 letter extensively in its reasons for doing so.  [More]

I wrote about this here.

Straight Outta Compton

Killings in Compton have tripled this year, rattling nerves and testing a key anti-crime initiative [More]

Gosh, if only California had some sort of "gun control."

I remember being dragooned into jury duty in Compton. What a pleasure it was having to park my car and then run the gauntlet past distinguished-looking FODs (friends of defendants) on my way to the scanners.

Speaking of Discrimination...

Blind Man Files Lawsuit Against McDonald's for Discriminatory Drive-Thru Practices [More]

"El Puño" does seem appropriate here.

Everybody Gets a Trophy!

According to school practices, students are not allowed to wear NHS regalia. [More]

Hey, why not cut to the chase and eliminate good grades altogether?

Because what could be more important than the feelings and self-esteem of underachievers?

What we need is a Handicapper General.

On a related subject, I still haven't figured out the Opposite Day "progressive" paradox of "safe spaces" -- if you can keep out people you get neurotic over, how is that not intolerance and discrimination?

Lost in Translation

“Translating our name as ‘the race’ is not only inaccurate, it is factually incorrect. ‘Hispanic’ is an ethnicity, not a race." [More]

So it's our fault ignoramuses were allowed to pick your name and everybody followed?

I guess "national socialists" were really anything but...?

Me and Bernie Goes Together Like Peas and Carrots

Libertarian candidate former Governor Gary Johnson says he agrees with Socialist Bernie Sanders 73% of the time. [More]

Dance, puppets, dance.

Debra Messing with the Wrong People

[More]

Gee, thanks for inserting yourself into the story, oh great awareness-bringer.  We'd have had no idea without your act of trivial narcissism. And nice touch, promoting both Hunter Orange Day and reminding us why #FireKatieCouric is the appropriate response for her deceptive agitprop.
