She's Right

It is a "permission slip." [More]

She's just not "right" as in a "conservative," which is how she's fraudulently presented.  It's useful for making anyone with actual principles dismissable as "extreme."

Harvey Weinstein Won’t Be Keeping Promise to Make NRA Members Regret Being Alive

So he won’t be making good on his threat to make an anti-NRA movie starring Meryl Streep (who also had no idea!). Here’s what Harvey told Howard Stern in January, 2014: “They are going to wish they weren’t alive after I’m done with them … I don’t think we need guns in this country, and I hate it.” [More]

Any gun owners wish they weren't alive reading about Harvey's downfall?

Anti-Gun Nut Chelsea Handler to Shooting Victim Rep. Scalise: 'F**k You, A**Hole' [More]

I'd really worry about what someone thought of me if they'd had two abortions at 16 , shows sex tapes of herself at birthday parties and has no one of significance in her life, because Lord knows she can't be the one with the issues.

No One's Talking About Taking Your Guns Redux

We just want to take away the right of the people to keep and bear arms, because nothing says "stop the violence" like a totalitarian monopoly of violence! [More]

He actually reprinted this from my favorite hive insects.

Funny. The original Velvet Revolution opposed the communists. With "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

The Hero of Mandalay Bay

TURNS OUT THIS IS FAKE NEWS. SORRY ABOUT THAT. I'M SUPRISED THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH CALLING THEMSELVES "CNN INTERNATIONAL" AND USING THE LOGO.

Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Compos has been arrested accused of being an accomplice and second shooter in the Las Vegas massacre that claimed the lives of 59 people and injured more than 500. [More]

You know what we need to do?

Ban bump stocks!

It's going to be interesitng finding out what made this guy tick-- assuming those controlling the information allow it.

Any bets on being a convert?

And his employer being toast after the lawsuits?

This is Your Congressman's Brain on Drugs

“It makes you kind of sit back and say, ‘Wow, they’re making the highest laws of the land and they might not even remember what happened yesterday.'” [More]

Considering the alternative, maybe this is the less frightening prospect.

No One's Talking About Taking Your Guns, You Paranoids!

Except the ones who are. [More]

You'd think NRA would know the dangers of giving an inch.

What if they do?

Gee,I wonder what the intent of this is...

Two Bad Ideas

No, three. [More]

Goddamn gutless prag intends to volunteer those of us who will not comply to be killed or have our lives destroyed.

No suprise that's not the only place he endorses "compromise." Thank goodness it has nothing to do with that "single issue." 

So make that four.

National Review.  Figures.

Republican Turncoats

Very good overall analysis. Very good information.

Here are the points I diverge and adapt from, and why:

First, he says "We are about to lose our gun rights."

No, we'll always have those and the guns will need to be surrendered.

Second, these are the traitors he's advising we contact to protest:

Look at GOA grades. I don't advise using NRA ratings, because they endorsed Fitzpatrick and I wouldn't expect them to downgrade him for proceeding through an equivocating green light they signaled.

This is how the last GOA scoring went:

Contacting "Fs"is a waste of time. They don't need you. I'd submit anyone with a "C" or below is not persuadable. Hell, when it comes to the fundamentals, I've got no use for "Bs."

But in addition to contacting the ones you think worthwhile (assuming anyone does, and experience hath shewn not to hold onto any illusions about that), I'd be demanding "F" grades for turncoats from NRA and GOA, and putting one more group on notice: The Republican National Committee.

Let them know you will limit all campaign contributions exclusively to candidates who have earned your support.

UPDATE: FPC has a petition.  I suppose automatically reaching all House members covers my concerns about wasting time on the unmovable.

Who to Believe?

The FBI won't comment on this at all but my sources say this is a conspiracy theory and is absolutely not true. [More]

Well then, it's settled. Thanks for definitively resolving that!

Teach Your Children Well

Boy Scouts Will Admit Girls [More]

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls

It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola

That's the plan, right? At least until enough power has been amassed...

The fact that the directors voted unanimously for the change should not go unnoticed.

Time to Revise the Timeline Again

Worker warned hotel before Las Vegas shooter opened fire on crowd [More]

So did they send someone up to explain the policy?

"[This] story ha[s] more holes in it than Albert Hall."

'We' Have the Power!

[More]

Yeah? What percentage of the people who buy the tickets and/or watch the games to determine ad revenue value are "you"? And "you" are unified?

Or by "hav[ing] the power," are you talking strike? Believe it or not, life would go on for most -- and for some of us, without change.  If you're not going to take the actual life-altering hit the players would, such egging on reminds me of what Tonto replied to the Lone Ranger when he said "It looks like we're surrounded by Indians."

"What you mean 'we'?"

Collectivists and economics -- who better to decide how things will be apportioned?

Besides-- no one is talking about "silencing" anyone. We're simply talking about appropriate times and places. That and the freedom of choice to respond.

Figures this guy butters his bread over at CNN. And sorry, but He-Man couldn't resist a bit of funnin':
