Growing Talk of a Coup Reflects Progressive Projection, Lust for Power at All Costs

For all their talk about civil liberties, it really shows what potential totalitarian monsters these people are. [More]
Their lust for power is so great they openly fantasize about imposing martial law.

Making Good on His Pledge?

...Donald Trump promised both Kent Terry and Michelle Terry-Balogh, siblings of Brian Terry, if elected he would get the truth and answers regarding both Fast and Furious and the murder of Brian. [More]
Remember?

Actionable Tips

Pretty good. [More]

There are times when an actionable plan to neutralize trouble requires you to either stand your ground or run toward it. There are times when avoidance makes things worse.

There is no one size fits all. Your mileage may vary.

My only real point of contention:
Depending on what state you live in, you’ll have certain options as far as what you carry with you every day when you leave the house.
You always have options.

Playing Both Sides Against the Middle

“We’ve all heard the complaints from Hillary Clinton camp that Trump was backed by the Russians, and if that’s true Putin has been playing a double game because Putin’s Anti-Globalist Movement is supporting some of the leading militants in the United States who are organizing the anti-Trump protests,” Loudon said.  [More]
Of course. It's called "self-interest."

Which is a good reason to have a strong negotiator able to offer carrots and sticks based on that which can be verified.

A Question of Response

There is this school of thought. [More]

There's another that says make popcorn.

A Tell-Tale Sign

Soros Fingerprints All Over Anti-Trump Lawsuits [More]
So there were blood stains?

And isn't this confirmation of this?

Dean Weingarten analyzes.

Maybe It's Too Much Work

[More]
Because face it, not only will this put our names on lists, but it also requires going the extra step of telling people about it and urging them to be force multipliers...

Hey, how about that game last night?

Molon Labe!

Point/Counterpoint

[More]
There's a qualitative difference between faulty memories when one involves a news story and the other involves ... you.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come

If passed and put into law, any Florida business owner that requires its customers and employees to disarm will be held liable for any damages resulting from violence on their premises. [More]
Until then, use these -- and shop accordingly:

Raising the Barr

President Trump should waste no time in “unsigning” the ATT. [More]
Agreed.

See, Bob, when you're right I have no issues with you.

It's when you're wrong...

We're the Only Ones Freeing Enough

Texas Sheriff Releases 39 Criminal Aliens in First Two Days of Sanctuary Policy [More]
And yes, of course she characterizes allowing non-"Only Ones" to open carry as irresponsible.

Call of Duty

In one case in which he ruled against the Second Amendment, Gorsuch even declared, “Our duty to follow precedent sometimes requires us to make mistakes.”  [More]
Counterpoints here.  Again quoting "lightly," as if that's a plus.

Will not one of the Gorsuch defenders support finding out exactly who and what they're asking us to fight for?

How about you? Do you want to find out? If so, have you contacted Judiciary Republicans with that expectation?

When Was He Ever Close?

Senate Republican Leader McConnell Distances Himself From Trump Stances [More]
Battle's coming. Time for the self-preservationists to beat feet, or at least set up a later claim of plausible deniability.

No one thought it was ever about him representing them, did they?

Connect the Dots

Gun owners who have been convicted of an alcohol-related offense, such as driving under the influence or drunk and disorderly conduct, are up to five times as likely to be arrested for a violent or firearm-related crime than those who have not, new research shows. [More]
Oh, well as long as Bloomberg-funded "journalists" are "reporting" this, it can't be propaganda.

This "research"?

By the snitch-recruiting "Hero of Medicine"?

The guy who has continually equated my post with a threat in a bid for self-righteous indignation, sympathy and admiration for the bravery it must take to soldier on in the face of such adversity? He didn't get it right there either, and the only explanation that makes sense is that was intentional. He's the one we're supposed to trust with threat assessments?

He just keeps throwing stuff against the wall in the hopes something will stick. That's because he desperately wants to come up with reasons to keep his countrymen from being armed.

Opposite Day 'Progressive' Tolerance and Inclusion

The Left Hates You. [More]
Convert or die.

Either that or accept the reality and act accordingly.

Funny, thing abut those who promote the meme that domestic enemies are "not evil, just wrong."

Here's one group that did. Guess who's behind them...?
