Slow Going Ahead

I'm not going to be blogging much over the next few days-- family coming into town and am hosting the 4th. Chances are I won't even get to tips until the 5th, and comment mod will be slow, too.

Hold off if you can -- and understand if you can't.

The Most Busted Name in News

Part 3 of Project Veritas' "American Pravda" expose of CNN... [Watch]

Looks like he "protects" his tweets.

We're the Only Ones Striking Forcefully Enough

Officials say this effort will combine police officers, state troopers, federal agents and state and federal prosecutors to target illegal guns and repeat gun offenders, which authorities in Chicago have long pointed to as causes of the city’s bloodshed. The announcement Friday comes at the beginning of the July 4 holiday weekend, typically among the deadliest periods in Chicago, which in recent years has struggled with surging levels of gun violence.

Who wants to bet we have a record weekend?

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

We're the Only Ones Young at Heart Enough

Former Kinloch, Wellston police officer gets year in prison for child porn [More]

No wonder he wanted to make it home at the end of his shift!

We're the Only Ones Excessive Enough?

Former Kansas Highway Patrol trooper indicted in excessive force incident [More]

The press release didn't give any more details, and "news" reports I've seen appear to be a rewording of the release.

I'm up to my ears right now and don't have time to research it. Anybody know what the allegation details are?

Talk about someone in need of a cluebat. [More]

We're the Only Ones Presuming Enough

Hey, if he didn't do it, why did we arrest him?

The Wrong Approach

McCarthy Calls on Rep.-Elect Gomez to Resign If He Continues to Delay House Job [More]

Why?

Since when is enabling another subversive, gun-grabbing, cultural terraforming vote desirable?

There's an App for That

An app has been launched in Paris, France, which warns people if they are in a No-Go Zone and gives live alerts telling users if they are at risk of sexual assault. [More]

Coming soon, to a disarmed Caliphate near you.

Selfish Ammosexual Spoils Blood Dance Opportunity

See, if he'd been unarmed and killed by his assailants who weren't, we could have used that to blame "lax gun laws." [More]

Smoke 'em if You Got 'em

USMC Veteran Takes Out Three Armed Robbers, “I Opened the Door and Smoked ’em.” [More]

I love happy endings as much as anyone, but dammit, shut up afterward. Especially in today's litigious society where parasitic relatives come crawling out of the woodwork to see what they can suck out of you.

Talking a Good Game

Under Beth Harwell's leadership - a leadership which helped meaningfully to force a massive gas tax increase on Tennesseans and a leadership which has helped raise the state's budget by roughly $10 billion dollars in 7 years - what has the Legislature done - or not done - relative to the 2nd Amendment? [More]

If someone represents themself as a leader, expect them to lead, with consequences if they don't.

We're the Only Ones Punching Out Enough

The failure of the St. Louis Police Department to maintain detailed time sheets and supporting documents makes it impossible to verify hundreds of thousands of hours of paid overtime, according to an audit of the department’s overtime pay. [More]

It's not like it's their money.

Why Me?

It's because you're a woman and you're black, obviously!  [More]

I mean, what else could it be?

We're the Only Ones Taxing Enough

Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg tells the Orlando Sentinel that according to Florida law, he and his employees are considered “revenue officers” and are exempt from the state’s ban on the open carrying of firearms while performing their duties. [More]

But...but...but how will uniformed "Only Ones" know who the good guys are?  Isn't that the excuse used to keep you and me from doing it?

For that matter, seeing as how it's "against the law" for everybody else, how are the mundanes supposed to know not to call "WE TIP"?

SPLC-Approved!

Parker and Casey were at the church to announce legislation that would prevent people convicted of a hate crime from purchasing or possession guns. [More]

Beyond prohibitions arising from felony convictions for actual victim-creating crimes, of course.

Funny how designating motives of hate seems to have a bias all its own.

Case in point: Saying "You’re getting the shank, white boy” before stabbing someone is not a "hate crime."  But note how the Opposite Day "progressive" writing this agitprop turns it around to imply the victim, and the group that swears fidelity to the Consitution and will not accept racists as members, are anti-government haters.

Not Up for Grabs

“The State of California’s desire to criminalize simple possession of a firearm magazine able to hold more than 10 rounds is precisely the type of policy choice that the Constitution takes off the table,” the injunction read. [More]

I guess having been born in Cuba, Judge Benitez is familiar with the rights-crushing evil that is enabled by "¿Armas para que?" edicts.

Do These People Ever Listen to Themselves?

And in any event it would have been easy for him to acquire a weapon in Virginia, which requires no background checks in private sales, requires no registration for most weapons and has few restrictions on open carry. [More]

So you admit federal law barring such purchases by out-of-staters is not obeyed by any but the people you want to disarm?

Any guesses how the Editorial Board of The Times would have fared against these guys? Besides whining about suffering the same realities as everyone else?

Gun Owner Rights Don’t Depend on How Tired Shannon Watts is of Joe Scarborough

The other problem with such surveys: Everyone has opinions. There’s no indication that the respondents have informed ones.  And that's what Watts is counting on. [More]

She all but admits her whole shtick depends on mobilizing a critical mass of ignoramuses. Bonus points if you know where the quote under her photo comes from without looking it up.
