Trump’s Communications Pick Invites Legitimate Questions on Principles and Loyalty
Armed American Radio Redux
I was on last night in Hour Three. [Listen]
Among other things, including Katie Couric and Christopher Wray, we talked about President Trump's new anti-gun propagandist and why I'm loathe to give him a pass.
T.L. Davis joined Mark Walters and me for the first segment to talk about "Lies of Omission." (I just realized I failed to mention Larry Pratt in my intro.)
A Poignant Reminder
Mike Vanderboegh's birthday would have been Sunday. Rosey told me she planned on visiting his monument.
We're the Only Ones Incredible Enough
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has collected the names of about 300 deputies who have a history of past misconduct — such as domestic violence, theft, bribery and brutality — that could damage their credibility if they testify in court. [More]You know, just a few bad apples.
The ones we know about.
And no, you can't know who they are. Who do you think you are, their employer?
Besides, we're the ones who ask what you have to hide.

It Can't Hurt to Ask
Please contact senator McCains office.....602-952-2410 and insist that he do the right thing for the country and RETIRE.I was asked to pass this on to the readership via email. What I expect instead is we'll see all kinds of obstruction in the coming months from a committed ideologue with a magnified sense of historic legacy and nothing to lose.
You can also use a hashtag.
Told Trump he should'a picked Ward...
I wonder if he'll Flake out again?

Balancing the Books
The Bill For Treating A Gunshot Wound In Chicago: $21,000 For The First 35 Minutes [More]The thing about economic impacts is there's a whole 'nother side that isn't even being mentioned.
Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
Besides, it's not their money.

We're the Only Ones Fast-Tracked Enough
'We have a very robust training and hiring process. This officer completed that training very well, just like every officer. He was very suited to be on the street,' she said. [More]Yes, we can see that.
So is "robust" anything like "rigorous"?
[Via Keith B]
No Competition?
Banned from Patriot Productions Shows because of low prices [More]Is there an "other side" to the story?
Because it kind'a reminds me of this.

We're the Only Ones Scandalous Enough
Sex, joy rides and car chases: Scandal in LAPD youth cadet program sparks alarm and calls for reform [More]Because how would we know such things are wrong without a bureaucratic intervention?

We're the Only Ones Covering Enough

Starbucks Customer Fighting Off Masked Robber With Chair Caught On Tape [More]VLLA SELLA 'n all that...
I can't help but wonder if the whole thing could have been settled without any violence if Howard Schultz hadn't discouraged the one deterrent that can produce that outcome.
Then again, we're talking California "may (not) issue" here, which pretty much guarantees confrontations will result in blood.
A 'Progressive' Threat Response
Hundreds of sheep killed after bear chases them over cliff [More]How would your average MILM fare any differently?
I empasized "average" for a reason.

Good, but this needs to make the connection to what cultural terraforming will do to voting patterns... [More]
OFF Calls Boquist’s Response to Criticism of His Gun Bill ‘Mendacious’
Accusing representatives of the National Rifle Association and the Oregon Firearms Federation of not caring “about veterans blowing their brains out,” Oregon State Senator Brian Boquist warned both groups to watch what they say to their supporters, implying they are responsible for subsequent threats against his wife, OFF reports in a Sunday alert. “Today, she was one inch short of having the State Police up based on one of your members in front of her desk.” [More]Maybe he feels guilty about betrayng people he'd encouraged and accepted support from and lashing out against them now is a defense mechanism?
