I'm just waiting for Trump to announce a new campaign slogan: "Stronger ToGetHer." Great way to ride the final stretch of the campaign season! [More]I like that!
Quite a bit.
I think I'll tweet it out.

Weiner Sex Addiction Check-In Could Be Sympathy Ploy to Mitigate Charges
Weiner gives us insight into mind of someone who knows he is untrustworthy. There’s more than a bit of projection going on. That makes it fair to ask just who the hell he thinks he is telling Americans who do not share his despicable moral failings that he does not trust them with freedom to make moral choices. Obviously, since he can’t trust himself, the thought of others not sharing his defects must be too much to handle; after all, if others are capable of self control, then the problem must be his. Better to blame them, and better yet, blame their guns! [More]Who thinks he's sincere, as opposed to doing this on advice of legal counsel?
Who's on First?
Investigative citizen journalist’s David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh were the first to disclose the development of the scheme... [More]It's gratifying to see some recognize that, even if the media and (even fricking Wikipedia) deliberately ignore and suppress that. Even though all one needs to do to see the truth of how that developed is click on a link and see for themselves...
Corruption Overload
Heads up! [More]
This is the guy tasked with investigating.
How much more needs to come out before the whole campaign implodes? Will it? Is the running interference for criminals media far-reaching enough, and the American people deliberately indifferent and detached enough to where it won't?
Anyone who is still for Hillary is either mentally or morally defective.

Counter-Coup
"We do not have guns, we do not have weapons..."
Things look like they're could get more interesting than they already are -- in an apocryphal Chinese curse kind'a way...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
UPDATE: Oath Keepers weighs in and includes a special addendum by Stewart Rhodes.
The Shape of Things to Come?
Let’s assume, right or wrong, that the next President of the United States will be Hillary Clinton. What might this scenario mean for firearms and ammunition policy stakeholders who are interested in the promotion of shooting, hunting/conservation, firearms collecting, and civil arms rights in the United States? [More]I guess "we" will find out how serious "we" are.
As will "they."
Opportunities for Salish epiphanies will abound.
Meet the New Boss
Finally, more centralized unification in telling us what and how to think! [More]
Maybe we can finally do something about those human rights violations.
Hey, can we direct media over there?

Upper Class Twit of the Year
Sir David Attenborough: ‘Shoot’ Donald Trump and Leave Politics to the Experts [More]Jeez, if a prominent non-"progressive" had said that about Hillary, what do you think the reaction would be?
Why does this come to mind for "Sir David"?
Every time I see a primitive anachronism like a "title of nobility," I can't help but be reminded of what more advanced thinkers had figured out centuries ago. And when this upper class twit bloviates about decisions imposed on all of us by the ruling class being left exclusively to the elites, this comes to mind.
As does the rebellion Paine was referring to in that treatise, and what happened to those elites...

We're the Only Ones Discharging Enough
A Michigan trucker said a bullet accidentally discharged from a state trooper’s weapon landed “inches from [his] head” ... [More]Ah, so it was the gun's fault again!
And naturally, "State police declined to identify the trooper or the level of training that trooper has received."
Why is that an option?

We're the Only Ones Collegial Enough
California sheriff's deputy accidentally shot, killed by colleague [ Fox News denies access from Blogspot, so you need to paste the url into your browser: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/11/01/california-sheriffs-deputy-accidentally-shot-killed-by-colleague.html ]And they were talking about "weapon safety" when "the detective's weapon discharged" !!!
This is what they call ""an improved secondary weapon"?
Thank goodness it was the gun's fault and he made it home safely at the end of his shift.

Once More unto the Breach, Dear Friends?
In the Nevada desert, Bundy family warns of another standoff [More]That's an intentionally sensational headline. You have to get down into the fine print to read:
Bundy, 44, wouldn’t say whether he and his family would encourage some kind of anti-government action over Gold Butte, because “I never say what we will do.”But WaPo has accomplished its goal to let slip the trolls of misdirection and further demonize "right wing extremist domestic terrorists."

Like I Said, 'Low-Hanging Fruit'
Kansas militia says it spurned alleged terrorists arrested in Garden City case [More]Note you either need to subscribe to get through the paywall or else I'm told you can disable cookies to read this.
Bottom line, no duh on my "low-hanging fruit" observation.
That, incidentally, resulted in a complaint to my editor at the magazine, even though my comment was printed in the newspaper, saying I should instead be "thanking the FBI." I did some checking and found the guy is the head of a construction industry public works lobbying group that has given questionable political contributions to Democrats.
Now why would he do that?

The Defender of Womyn
Nope, no objectifying or taking advantage of messed up girls going on there...
Anchors Aweigh
“You mean it’s not politically correct, and yet everybody uses it?” Trump replied. “You know what? Give me a different term.”
The reporter proposed “the American-born childs [sic] of undocumented immigrants.” [More]Leave it to an Opposite Day "progressive reporter" to view his function as Defender of the True Faith, to screw up on basic grammar, and to obfuscate an understandable and accurate term by adding five words.
Before It's Confirmed
A thread on 4chan with an FBI insider confirms everyone’s worst suspicions. The Hillary Clinton email server was merely a distraction from the Clinton Foundation and most of DC is in up to their necks in what could be the biggest scandal of all times. This inside info from someone claiming to be a high level FBI analyst whose job was to look at the records, with NOTES added to clarify some of the responses. [More]Now that it's come to my attention, I would be remiss not to share this.
I would be more remiss not to caution against buying into this without corroboration. As noted about another unconfirmed report, be very, very careful with this. We don't want to go chasing after potential disinformation and find out the reason it was put out there is to distract from the real truth and discredit those who propagate it.
This could come from a real whistleblower, or it could just be some troll trying to get us to publicly wet ourselves.
True, the initial catalyst for Project Gunwalker exposure was a forum post from an "insider," but Mike and I were able to gather information from sources we could vet through other proven advisers and weigh that against other corroborating material before we jumped in with both feet.

Melanie Griffith adds, "Most products are carefully sealed with safety catches, tape, cellophane... yet you can buy a gun with no safety element at all. How is that possible?"Now that's weapons-grade stupid (and stupefying) right there.
I found that article while researching a GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column on anti-gun celebrities, and couldn't quite fit the Griffith quote into the flow of the narrative I was building. Nonetheless, it screams for further exposure.
