Define 'Temporary'

Marco Rubio has spent months pushing the White House to expand a temporary program that would allow Venezuelans who have fled Nicolás Maduro’s regime to stay in the United States... [More]
How many new citizens can we expect, and what evidence does he have that they'd vote any different than from what got them into their mess?

These guys sure are generous with what's not theirs, and compassionate on behalf of those they have no consent to speak for.

Speaking of Failure to Understand Optics


Yeeesh...

This ...thing presumes to give Melania Trump -- or anyone, for that matter --fashion pointers? [More]

And remember, with "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

Attorney: FBI Screening Gun Owners against Terror Database without Authority

“The US DOJ Attorneys admitted in their Answering Brief that the FBI screens ‘all’ Americans seeking to lawfully purchase a firearm against the Terrorist Screening Database (“TSDB”)... [More]
Could President Trump order otherwise?




Something Wicked This Way Comes


Does the Left Know Something's Coming Involving Guns? [More]
Never let a manufactured crisis go to waste, right?

Silent But Deadly


Quieting things down could be a real lifesaver. [More]

Something in Common

...they were all white men between ages 54 and 67. [More]
So basically from the demographic all that hate is being ginned up against by smearing it as comprised of  "haters"...?

Shouldn't they be rioting or something?

Decentralization


How's the other way working out? [More]

Drinking with the Enemy

It’s all part of Friess’ “Return to Civility” campaign. [More]
Hey, it's not me that wants to send men with guns after them if they don't do what I say. I'm perfectly content to let the "commonsense safety advocates" remain gunless as long as they don't try to impose their demands on me and mine by force of state arms.

What Explanation Could There Possibly Be?

When reflexively anti-American, anti-military outlets like Mother Jones, Slate and the Washington Post offer fawning praise for a Republican military commander, the reasons underlying those plaudits deserve further investigation. When anti-American, anti-military, George Soros-funded, extreme leftist smear operations like Media Matters go to war to defend a Trump political appointee, it casts a shadow on everything about the man. When the anti-American, terrorism-supporting, Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated CAIR defends an American general, the alarm bells drown out all other sound. And officers who have witnessed his “leadership” in the unforgiving crucible of combat are now sounding the alarm. [More]
A routine quote around here comes to mind.

A Man of Firm Convictions

A 19-year-old could face life in prison at a scheduled November sentencing after his guilty plea Monday for his role in an interstate gun trafficking scheme as well as other crimes, the U.S. Justice Department said. [More]
Life may just imitate art.

Still, talk about "progressive" elitist discrimination, what with Leland Yee only getting five years.

We're the Only Ones Unnamed Enough

The video shows the detective, who Urquhart did not name and identified only as a detective in Woodinville, walk up to the stopped motorcyclist without identifying himself and with his gun already drawn and pointing toward Randall for allegedly speeding and reckless driving. [More]
We know the citizen's name, but the thug who automatically escalates to the lethal force option remains unidentified by his "progressive" boss, with the "Authorized Journalists" obligingly obscuring his face and protecting his identity in the video they showed.

The unobscured video is included in this analysis (beginning at @ 2:45 in).  Here are two screen captures to help give the public what their "public servants" and the lapdog media will not:

Glazed Over



If they disarm you and me, Bloomberg will no longer need armed bodyguards?

Well, why didn't the grabbers just say so from the start? Think of all the disagreements we could have avoided!

That's Entertainment

“We’re stopping money,” said community activist Michael Hassell.  “If that means we got to walk around a Cardinals game so no one can get in, that’s what we’re going to do.” [More]
I'd rather watch that than a ball game any day.

The "progressives" whose policies make societal breakdown and police state abuses inevitable are intent on expanding and spreading the discontent everywhere.  Lyda "forgot" to mention "vote Democrat."

'Negligence This May Be'

This is a case where the NY Times Editorial author James Bennet claimed to be so ignorant, so uninterested in doing any research, and so oblivious to his surroundings, that his ignorance turned into legal bliss. [More]
And of course he had an agenda. Still, that a judge ruled The New York Times' fake news is due to incompetence is something to continually remind people of whenever we see it recur.

Without Exception.

All white people are socialized to be racist. [More]
Who am I to argue with a Media Studies, Women’s & Gender Studies, and African American & African Diaspora Studies malcontent?

Credit Where Due

N.J. moves to legalize stun guns after 2nd Amendment suit [More]
I suppose it would kill these guys to mention the names of the attorneys who won the concession.

As Expected

Aside from noting that no “legacy media” outfit is (yet) reporting on this... [More]
Based on my piece still being the only Google News feed entry, they apparently don't think the public has a need to know.

What else aren't we hearing about?

Fire and Rain

Cajun Navy and Oath Keepers – Rescues by Boat in Texas and Louisiana... They did come under fire during attempted robberies. There are currently over 300 boats in the water. They are also working Lafayette, LA. [More]
And more.  And more.

Funny-- I don't see any SPLC boats.

Tangentially related:
Hillary staffer TRIGGERED by rescue boat in Houston with Confederate flag
That they were there proving they believe black lives matter is evidently not as important as that ridiculous ingrate's programmed grievances.

We're the Only Ones Arrogant and Presumptuous Enough


John Comeau tries to determine the concealed carry position of a "progressive" candidate for sheriff in "May Issue" California, and among other things is told "Most people do not need" permits and that his politics as expressed on social media would be a disqualifier. [More]
