They Blow Up So Fast These Days
First You Cry
I got into cordial banter with the woman at the supermarket checkout counter and she called me "Hon." Waitresses have done that, too.
The rage, the shame and the feelings of helplessness just won't go away.
Supreme Court Again Ducks Second Amendment by Refusing to Hear Gun Cases
The absence of further High Court action since 2010 and the lack of any explanation for declining to hear these cases mean we can only speculate on the reasons. Are judges who favor easing up on infringements waiting for a retirement or two from their ranks before they’ll deem it safe to move forward, or does this mean the majority owes its first and foremost loyalties to an establishment that thinks this business of an armed populace has gone far enough? [More]As Dr. King observed, a right delayed is a right denied.
Spoiler
Marine Colonel Announces He’s Running Against Roy Moore: ‘Hold My Beer’ [More]Really? And he's announcing it on the leftist Daily Beast?
And he was a Kasich guy in the primary? And "described his political leanings as centrist"?
Don't look for any unequivocal definition of where he stands on any issues of importance. The guy is here for one reason only-- to get enough useful idiots sidetracked to throw the race to the Democrat.
Is Life So Dear or Peace So Sweet?
... the entire opening statement given by Ryan Bundy, to the jury, on November 15, 2017. [More]I guess we'll now see what those people are made of.
It's Not About Guns
Giffords group asks web hosts to shut down ‘ghost gun’ sites [More]That and they're going after muzzleloaders.
It will never be enough for those obsessed with controlling everything. It never can be.

A-Rated Lindsey Graham
“I think most Americans want to get these DREAM Act kids a more certain life. Let’s do it in December, let’s do it for the good of the country, let’s take care of a lot of problems at one time to show the country we actually can function,” Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union." Graham and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) earlier this year revived discussion around the DREAM Act, which would offer a path to citizenship to young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. [More]Neither one will address these concerns. Nor will any of their apologists.
Good thing for us this has nothing to do with that "single issue." Otherwise, the Lairds of Fairfax would never be able go get away with this.
Well Doesn't That Just Explain Everything?
Though I hadn't admitted this to myself earlier, it was perhaps inevitable that the very first thing I did when I brought the gun home and was alone with it was to put it in my mouth. [More]Just the "progressive" whose opinion on the subject I'd value...
Sure had to wade through a lot of virtue-oozing BS to find out the guy is certifiable, although in retrospect there were clues...
"The first time I was hospitalized for acting on suicidal ideation" suggests there have been others, and the admission "I take medication to help. But I've only been taking it for about 10 years" makes me wonder if question 11.f. resulted in complete candor and a rational decision to proceed with a transfer.
And "Dad," who knew his history, didn't find it strange?
I can imagine this being a posthumous article titled "I bought a gun to kill myself and did, thanks to lax gun laws." And I can imagine the comments from appreciative "progressive" readers being equally congratulatory and supportive.

“I thought I was going to die,” she said, remembering her frantic struggle to keep up with those fleeing as employees shouted, “Run! Run! Run to the back!” ... The off-duty officer “was shopping, just happened to be there when all of this occurred,” Borchers said. “Thankfully he was.” [More]No thanks to Costco. If it were up to them, there'd be dead customers and employees.

No Excuse
He thought he saw a deer and fired his pistol. Now his neighbor is dead. [More]Meanwhile, this idiot shot a truck and used the same excuse.
This kind of crap makes me real receptive to Fudds for Gun Bans.

Joy, Opposite Day 'Progressive'-Style
The irony of a liberal African-American political commentator calling for the disenfranchisement of a minority population group appears to be lost on MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid. Reid labeled rural Americans “the core threat to our Democracy” and called for the abolition of the electoral college to limit their ability to influence elections and government...

We're the Only Ones Persuasive Enough
The teenager who claims she was raped by two NYPD detectives while under arrest detailed to The Post Friday how cops barged into her hospital room and “aggressively” tried to coax her out of bringing assault charges against their colleagues. [More]I'd think if "at least nine officers showed up to the hospital," it would have been noticed, and it doesn't seem credible all would have had "official business."

A Sense of Entitlement
A "pet peeve" of mine: People who are not only unapologetic and remorseful for their bad deeds, but actually in-your-face about it and treat you like the offending party. I remember a special on crime from years back where the moronic thug actually justified his ultraviolence by blaming his victim for not immediately complying with his robbery demands. [More]
Pending a cure for such aberrations, the only productive use for them is being examples for what happens when you cross certain lines.

Skank Hath Its Privileges
Meghan Markle ‘gets royal protection’ amid reports Prime Minister briefed on wedding [More]"Subjects," not so much.
Or you Yanks, either. She agrees with Piers.
But don't worry, some "gun violence" can be forgiven.
What did Mr. Paine say about "royalty"?
Any bets how long it will take her to affect a British accent?
Peace in the Hood, Opposite Day 'Progressive'-Style
If the neighborhoods continue to have accessibility to the guns, the shootings will keep happened [sic], Griffin expressed. [More]Think of that for a moment-- their own guy just said they can't be trusted with full enfranchisement of the birthrights of free men.
No matter. I knew it was the guns' fault.
Nothing a rally and disarming you and me won't resolve.
Deus ex Machina
Brain implants to 'change moods controlled by AI' begin HUMAN TESTS [More]Great news -- that way, our "friends with benefits" won't have to block unacceptable sentiments (albeit there's already a workaround for that). Or decide who lives and who dies, although such judgments are to be expected from a "god" made in man's own image...
And just wait 'til you see the benefits of "birthright citizenship," making us one big happy family.
Not that we're there yet. This stuff is all still being manipulated by the man behind the curtain for reasons revealed by the operative word in the preview quote: "Controlled."
Replace "G" in the acronym GIGO with "T" for totalitarianism and you'll get the idea.
