DREAM Not Over Yet
Jeez, Tough Crowd
Some comment posters are pretty upset with me because they say I didn't post the petition link. [More]
I'm sorry for expecting people would actually read it to the conclusion before passing judgments like "lazy" and "stupid":

If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked a Cake
Nazis, of course, being anyone so accused, with the sentence carried out by a responding lynch mob... [More]
You know, "Nazis" like Christian bakers.
You don't even have to imagine what a social media outlet provider would do had a comparable post been made by someone on the alt-right against a favored "progressive" demographic.
Anyone acting out on Ashley's advice is likely to get shot well.
Help Wanted
Updated: Urgent! Oath Keepers Call To Action to Deploy to Texas to Help With Flood Relief and Rescue [More]We talked about rescue efforts yesterday. Stewart Rhodes goes over some needed things you can do to help.
Dare to compare.
Petition Asks Trump to Intervene on FBI’s Denial of FOIA Request on Hillary Clinton
The fact that careerists with the FBI still feel secure enough under the Trump administration to keep swamp levels rising should trouble all who voted for the president because they believe in the agenda he articulated while campaigning. [More]Note there's also a second petition, this one going directly to the White House, that I included a link to at the end of the article as an update.
Disaster Relief
Linda Sarsour Funneling Hurricane Donations Through Political Action Committee [More]And what else will it be used for?
Hey, never let a crisis go to waste, right?

A Woman Scorned
Looks like this response got me living in someone's head rent-free.
I don't suppose the irony of someone hiding from personal accountability calling someone who does not a "coward" is lost on this troll.
Aid and Comfort
Despite this significant decline in economic contribution, Connecticut-based, firearms-related businesses in 2016 still paid $85,109,200 in state taxes. [More]And they'll continue enabling infringements as long as their customers tell them it's OK.
Whoever Heard of Such a Thing?
"Progressives" chilling political speech they don't like...? Unbelievable! [Watch]
I'm sure we'll see a statement from her unequivocally condemning the "hate speech is not free speech" fanatics any day now. Or is it only an issue when it happens to her, and she can capitalize on it by conflating it with an attack on all women ?
Hey, "outspoken" Heather: Define ""Sensible Gun Reform."
Be specific.

We're the Only Ones Youth-Oriented Enough
Former APD officer arrested on three additional counts of possession of child pornography [More]What, he reads Teen Vogue...?
[Via Jess]
We're the Only Ones Deliberately Obtuse Enough
Police said they did not know if the shootings were racially motivated. [More]I missed that bit of clumsy politically-motivated deception yesterday.
Who is the shameless flack who made that asinine statement? What do you think he'd have said had the situation been reversed, aside from welcoming the DOJ to the investigation?

Vibrant Diversity Doesn't Come Cheap
The City of Denver will join a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its threats to withhold federal grants for law enforcement as part of an escalating fight over the way the city interacts with federal immigration officials. [More]I don't understand.
“If being a sanctuary city means that we value taking care of one another, and welcoming refugees and immigrants [and] families and young ‘Dreamers’ live with hope and not fear," what do they need federal law enforcement grants for?
Tangentially related, I see one area where Denver is not so inclusive. Why is it we don't have any "sanctuary cities" for guns?

We're the Only Ones Contextual Enough
His comments must be observed in their totality to understand their context. [More]So must the driver's reaction to him.
Take the Money and Run
Southern Poverty Law Center Transfers Millions in Cash to Offshore Entities [More]Its very name belies its true nature. "Progressives." Opposite Day.
Interesting: JPMorgan Chase is a benefactor.
These guys:
Not only is JP Morgan ATF’s credit card provider, it was a designated landing place to get a double-dipping Fast and Furious manager out of the country, a top Obama campaign contributor, and the bank that abruptly terminated the account of Defense Distributed. It is presumed their card also enabled an ATF Director of Industry Operations to engage in his own form of “double- dipping.”Ask them if they agree army bases should be closed because they're monuments to racism.
