Next
Fearing Trump's next move, liberals urge Supreme Court conservative Kennedy to stay [More]Well then he couldn't have been all that conservative.

A Fully Uninformed Jury
Jury finds man guilty of jury tampering after passing out juror rights pamphlets [More]Slaves judged a runaway.
One thing FIJA has not been successful at is getting the message outside the niche and into the general public consciousness. That's due to many reasons, most having to do with the establishment suppressing information via both the educational system and through the media.
I've long thought one way to help break through that would be to pick a state that has ballot measures and create one instructing jurors have a right to be told their nullification powers as part of the instructions.
It probably wouldn't pass, but it would sure get more people aware of the concept, and woudln't have to be prohibitively expensive.

Game Changer
Innocent Until Calculated Guilty
In Harm's Way
Marines arrested at pro-Confederate rally with white nationalist regalia. [More]You gotta wonder what's not being told here. It'll be interesting to see how far this gets pushed and if these guys will be made examples of.
My guess is, at a minimum, their careers are over. If there's a perceived pressure to take things further, Form 4473 question 11.g. comes to mind.

A Spotty Problem
Health officials worry that the holy month of Ramadan, which began Friday night and brings Muslims together in prayer and festivities, will accelerate the spread of the highly infectious and potentially deadly disease, which is plaguing the close-knit Somali American community. [More]Islamic rules, you know.
As an aside, is it just me, or is there a general avoidance by "progressive" Authorized Journalists against using of the word "holy" when it pertains to Christians?

Peer Pressure
John Lott is a one-man pro-gun research machine whose work has been cited nearly 200 times by the National Rifle Association. The problem? Many of his peers have major misgivings about his methods. [More]That must be why so many of the arttacks end up being ad hominem.

He has not been charged since the raid and remains on paid leave pending an internal investigation. [More]Schuyler Barbeau will be happy to hear all that!
Good Thing the London Terrorists Didn't Have Guns!
I mean, face it: Who wouldn't rather be killed with a knife or a truck? [More]

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Come to Think of It, 40 Winks Wouldn't be Bad
Seventy-seven days into his administration, President Donald J. Trump delivered on his most important campaign promise to gun owners: nominating a Supreme Court justice who respects the Second Amendment. [More]I sure hope you're right Mr. Cox, but unless you've made some kind of backroom deal based on information the rest of us aren't privy to, you can't possibly know that.
Still, I see he's using one of my favorite Fairfaxisms:
And Second Amendment advocates in particular can sleep soundly...Are you sleeping, bourgeoisie?
Now is not the time for sleeping. Isn't that what got "us" into this mess? Now is the time to heed Patrick Henry's warning to men who would be free.
What must the motives be of anyone who would advise otherwise? Leave the driving to us? And pay for the ride we're taking you on?
There's another Fairfaxism they use all the time to bolster that point:
Rest assured...Take it away, Kaax.

Looks like Reza considered public reaction to Kathy Griffin:
That's OK, some of us captured it when it was still there:
If he embraces it so much, and expects us to, why did his family flee Tehran?
CNN offers weasel words, but it looks like they're keeping the affiliation. They need an unbiased reporter to eat those human brains, which is what watching and believing CNN does to you.
America's Got Talent
Parents 'horrified' after man performs surprise drag show at Manhattan school talent event [More]Why?
Are they idiots?
Look who they elect. To the school boards, to public office...
Don't they want to be "progressive" parents?
They'd better, if they know what's good for them.
Coming Soon to a Caliphate Near You
'Enough is enough' PM May says after London attackers kill seven [More]It will never be "enough" until the clearly stated goal of total "submission" is attained.
If it were "enough," we'd see the same unity, resolve and sacrifice exhibited around 80 years ago. This time, the threat is greater.
