Magnifying the Splash Made by a Drop in the Bucket

At least two Colorado county clerks say they’ve seen a large increase in the number of people who have withdrawn their state voter registration since Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams said he would send the Trump administration’s election integrity commission some voter-roll information in accordance with state law. [More]
"Hundreds"? Out of over 3M "registered active voters"?

Why is this publicity stunt by a handful of voter fraud-abetting "progressive" apparatchiks even news, aside from the fact that ABC's Denver 7 wants it to be?

We're the Only Ones Recordable Enough

A First Amendment right to record the police [More]
I once had an"Only One" in California threaten to arrest me, even though I had the recorder in plain sight -- a sergeant, who you'd think would know the law. And that was a few years after the Ninth Circuit had weighed in on it, meaning he was either an incompetent or a lying thug trying to illegally coerce me, and quite possibly both.

FACT CHECK: 94 Percent of U.S. Terrorism Fatalities Are Caused by Islamic Terrorists [More]
And here I was thinking the problem was with guys like me.  It figures Opposite Day "progressives" claim the exact opposite.

Coming Soon to a Caliphate Near You

A hundred Islamists are now openly enforcing Sharia law on the streets of Berlin, according to local police who are investigating a recent string of violent assaults in the German capital. The self-appointed morality police involve Salafists from Chechnya, a predominantly Sunni Muslim region in Russia. The vigilantes are using threats of violence to discourage Chechen migrants from integrating into German society; they are also promoting the establishment of a parallel Islamic legal system in Germany. German authorities appear unable to stop them. [More]

Too Smart By Half

A smart device in the home apparently heard “call the sheriffs,” and proceeded to call the sheriffs. [More]
And I'm sure if they'd come in blazing, it would have been deemed "standard protocol."

Rules for vampires come to mind. Except "official" ones don't need no stinking invitation.

Where the Only Thing Lower than Our Prices is Your Safety!

Witnesses described the man as a Costco employee, and told reporters that the alleged shooter may have been his ex-wife. Authorities did not immediately confirm those details. Both the store’s management and a spokesperson at the Costco corporate office near Seattle declined to comment for this story. [More]
Maybe that's because they'd have to admit she would have known about their policy keeeping him from being able to defend himself?

Yet WE'RE the 'Nazis'


At the Impeach Trump March in Chicago 7/2/17. A group of protesters applaud a speech comprised almost entirely of Adolf Hitler quotes given by Shad Daley. This was 20 seconds after saying they need to fight fascism. After the speech, the organizing member of refusefascism.org was desperate to get Shad more involved. Another wonderful example of how the left doesn't understand their own hypocrisy and ignorance.
