On in 15 Minutes

Attorney Gloria Allred has announced a news conference at 2:30 p.m. ET with a new Roy Moore accuser. [Watch]
We'll see if there's any substance, as opposed to unprovable accusations.

If you can't get that link to work, others are also live streaming.

TMZ is working for me.

I found a Facebook page for the accuser-- no real clues there.

Senate Judiciary Committee under oath is a shrewd legal move.

She has his handwriting in her yearbook.

She says she and her husband were Trump supporters.


UPDATE:

Roy Moore's response (relevant video portion starts about 9 minutes in.)

Oh! I have Slipped the Surly Bonds of Truth

“And, as long as it’s not hurting yourself or anyone else, I don’t see a problem with that.” [More]
How is separating from reality not destructive, "progressive" shrink lady?

Alternatively, where can I sign up to be included for "affirmative action" swag and reparations?

And the goal, of course is to go national, including with confiscation. [More]
Starting with a controlled test run, they're working on expansion to their end game -- one incremental infringement at a time.

Bubble Results Do Not a Mandate Make

Especially when we're talking a blue state GOP squish. [More]

But by all means, keep the overconfidence up. It always makes the more impulse control-challenged blurt out end game admissions that can't be taken back.

Hey, why should the Fourth and Fifth Amendments matter to people who don't give a damn about the Second? [More]

Kind of Like the Nene?

Her party is teetering on the edge of extinction here. [More]
But there's no effort to bring them back. Not that the loss of some will be mourned.

And it looks like of those left, "pro-gun legislators" are even more rare.

Ah well-- if mere mundanes needed guns, they wouldn't need the proven-more trustworthy "Only Ones."

Quantity Over Quality

The “primary metric” will be the number of people released. [More]
I'd think it would be whether or not what emerges from the cage is dangerous.

Horrors!

So the "solution" is to make sure everyone else, especially the "adults," will be helpless if the intent for having one is malevolent?

A whole spate...?

If the owners had a testicle between them, they'd tell these useful meatheads to #TakeAHike.

Ears to the Ground

California Gov. Jerry Brown jokingly called for protesters to be "put in the ground" as they disrupted his speech at a climate change event in Germany. [More]
Great place for it, but I thought they had laws against national socialists "joking"about that kind of stuff there.

On the "plus" side, "progressive" California is working on the kind of monopoly of violence that lets governments get away with disposing of political opponents that way...

We're the Only Ones Fighting Among Ourselves Enough

But instead of fighting crime, officers from both precincts began fighting with each other. Sources say guns were drawn and punches were thrown while the homeowner stood and watched. [More]
I'm just surprised they didn't immediately all recognize standard protocol...

Fortunately, journalistic ethics prevail.

George Takei Accused of Sexually Assaulting Former Model in 1981 [More]
I don't know what to think and I'm admittedly biased against the guy.

To be fair, let's ask a fellow gun-grabber and someone with a more"progressive" outlook than I have:

I don't suppose he'd care to put his assertions of innocence to a public polygraph livestream?  Hell, make it pay per view and he'd not only prove his innocence to all, he could make quite the fortune, if not for himself then for his fists against guns group.

Yep, the White House, majorities in the House and Senate, a presumed 5 - 4 SCOTUS advantage...

Gosh, it's almost like they don't actually answer to us or something...

About That Whole 'Sheepdog' Thing...

...possessing a weapon of self-defense and using it to protect themselves and others... [More]
That depends on circumstances and who those others are.

People I care about, yeah. Strangers, that depends...

I'm afraid in today's legal, political and moral climate I've become more of a Rick Blaine kind'a guy:


The Turkey Whisperer



I don't know what I find more impressive -- the call or the ability to maintain a waddle like that.

Enjoy it while you're young.

Mila Kunis Trolled Vice President Mike Pence and Now Some Pro-Lifers Are Boycotting Jim Beam [More]
That's because she's from the part of the family that wasn't aborted, with "global relevance to our Make History™ campaign."

You'd think coming from a Jewish family that emigrated from the USSR that she'd have more reverence for history that's already been made -- and more respect for the culture her family chose to become part of.  Instead, she's a Hillary-supporting gunkapo, as is her "raw talent" husband.

Plenty of other cheap rotgut out there, although I prefer going up a notch. Regardless, it won't cause any hardship for me to give my business to someone who doesn't give aid and comfort to the enemy.

True, it's traditionally not very accomodating to gender pronoun mania, but is that really a bad thing? [More]

An Inconvenient Truth

The global history of mass shootings demonstrates that the vast majority of these crimes are perpetrated in places where citizen firearms ownership is close to nil. While people can argue about cause and effect, the facts are indisputable. [More]
Fortunately for gun-grabbers, they don't need facts.

Nice to see WaPo satisfying their need to appear fair-minded by giving up a bit of space to some truth. We now return to our regularly-scheduled monopoly of violence apologia.

I Like to Be in America!

More than a million Puerto Ricans — about 5 percent of Florida's population — already call the state home, and given the outrage many feel over President Donald Trump's handling of the storm, political observers say this voting bloc could loosen the Republican Party's hold on this battleground state. [More]
Gee, now there's a surprise.

Huh-- an argument I don't immediately discount from HuffPo...
