'Random Act of Violence'


That sounds so much more tolerant and inclusive than "Islamist act of racist terror," don't you think? [More]

HuffPo Hoax Says Much about ‘Progressive’ Media’s Subversive Goals

Bottom line: It wasn’t for moral reasons, like it might inspire more violence, terror and misery. The simple truth is, they got punked. The author of the article wasn’t a real leftist spouting the requisite subversive and hateful inanities. It was a setup, an intentionally outrageous submission from a fake contributor who succeeded in appealing to HuffPo’s elitist strain of privileged “progressivism” and getting the piece published in a forum that would reach the world. [More]
It's instructive noting what they got tricked into revealing about themselves, and what that really means about chances for reaching any kind of mutually acceptable accommodations: No, we can't "all get along."

So Much for Assumptions

This was a shocking episode to see on what is normally liberal network television. For once, the gun control advocates were shown to be the extreme, crazy ones and the hero defended gun rights. Much of the show was true to life about how liberal professors and administrators target conservative students and groups – including the verbal altercation between professor and student.  After taking shots at Ted Kennedy and government regulations, Chicago Justice is shaping up to be pretty much the lone conservative TV show in a very liberal industry.  [More]
I'd have never guessed.

Tops among Pedestal and Ceiling Mounts

Guest Lineup: Fan favorite David Codrea joined me to discuss his recent work on Ammoland, War On Guns and Guns Magazine, among others. Enjoy! [Listen]
I've been called a lot of things in my day, but that's a new one. Yesterday's Armed American Radio Daily Defense with Mark Walters is now archived.

Cooking the Books


Culinary Local 226 registered foreign nationals and had them vote Democrat? [More]

With Question 1 passing by less than 1% "thanks" to Clarke County, it's not inconceivable that it really didn't.

Enemy Action

Stewart Rhodes, founder of the citizen militia group known as the Oath Keepers, said he came from Montana with about 50 others to protect Trump supporters. They were joined by bikers and others who vowed to fight members of an anti-fascist group if they crossed police barricades. “I don’t mind hitting” the counter-demonstrators, Rhodes said. “In fact, I would kind of enjoy it.” [More]
You'd think a "real reporter" working for a major newspaper would be able to get the fact right that Oath Keepers,while supportive of the concept, is not a militia group -- a point made more times than I can keep track of.

Then again, she also screwed up his quote. Per Stewart:
I was NOT talking about Anti-fa when I said that.   I was talking about the actual white nationalists who showed up and tried to co-opt the event.  I said we wanted nothing to do with them, and while the police told them we could not kick them out of the park, because the event organizers did not have a permit to use the park (which would have allowed them to exclude people), we would not let the white nationalists up on the concrete ring where the actual rally and speakers were, and if they tried, we would remove them physically.   And that is when I said that if that happens, “I don’t mind hitting neo-Nazis. In fact, I would kind of enjoy it.” 
How's the saying go...? "Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence..."

The third time is "Authorized Journalism."

If the White Eurocentric Construct Be Known

This construction is a myth and white supremacy, imperialism, colonization, capitalism, and the United States of America are all of its progeny. The idea that the truth is an entity for which we must search, in matters that endanger our abilities to exist in open spaces, is an attempt to silence oppressed peoples. … The idea that we must subject ourselves routinely to the hate speech of fascists who want for us not to exist plays on the same Eurocentric constructs that believed Black people to be impervious to pain and apathetic to the brutal and violent conditions of white supremacy. [More]
In other words -- in their words -- they cannot be reasoned with.

That really only leaves one other option.

For some reason, this Opposite Day "progressive" translation seems appropriate:
And ye shall know the white Eurocentric construct, and the white Eurocentric construct shall make you Enslaved.
As a side note, commies sure talk funny (and boring). And here I thought "hegemony" was the cricket in Pinocchio...

Rise of the Machines

So when these become "in common use at the time" -- and they will, lest "our side" sits by and allows a "terminator gap" --  will they be made available to "We the People"? [More]

Oh, that's right -- stare decisis always trumps founding intent.

Full Circle


Rich capitalist supports communist commemoration. That and the same cultural terraforming as Grover and his enablers... [More]

Someone's being played here.  Or would that be "practically everyone?"?


Cry, the Betrayed Country

2. If SAPS personnel or anyone under their command, after correctly identifying themselves, and providing some form of warrant or authorization insists on taking possession of your gun, you are advised to cooperate with them while pointing out that a green licence is valid at this date. [More]
That's not what Captain Parker would have advised. But then again, he had not been betrayed by the previous generation that abdicated power.

Assuming legible tea leaves, "valid licenses" look to be the least of these people's growing problems.
