Speaking of 'Discredited'...

The decision to use video from a discredited ultra-conservative group... [More]
"Discredited" by whom and in what way that invalidates the evidence being presented, "reporter" Sam Levin?

And speaking of evidence, I don't suppose you have any outside of SPLC-influenced media distortions to back your claim of Oath Keepers being a "militia group"?

Garrison Feel 'er

Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) is terminating its contracts with Garrison Keillor and his private media companies after recently learning of allegations of his inappropriate behavior with an individual who worked with him. [More]
Funy how people who can't -- or won't -- control themselves are so bent on controlling the rest of us.

Bet he wishes he could'a sent her to Lake Ho Begone...

Why the NRA Should Support a Constitutional Militia

That is part of our Constitution, and that particular part of our Constitution is totally ignored by those folks who are running our government.[More]
As long as it is, and as long as the "gun lobby" legal arguments focus exclusively on "self-defense," the "weapons of war" argument will continue to be successfully used by the antis at the state level (and beyond once the cultural terraforming becomes overwhelming).

Then again, how many gun owners do you think have thought through what a Constitutional Militia would require of them, especially in terms of discipline and submission to authority?

Oh Look: Something Else to Sweep Under the Rug!

Former Intel IG: Threatened, Warned About Exposing Hillary Emails [More]
So what does he want? Special treatment?

We're the Only Ones Failing Enough

A whole series of failures have been so far been discovered in police investigations into Amri before his deadly attack at Breitscheidplatz Christmas market. Amri was a Tunisian national who Germany had been trying to deport for months before the attack. [More]
At least they're consistent. As for trying...

Assume Morrissey’s Lethal Hatred Extends to Trump Supporters


When some national socialist sympathizer calls for the death of Donald Trump, we need to ask ourselves what it is about the man Morrissey hates so much. The answer is the policies Trump says he stands for. That means Morrissey hates those who agree with those policies. Trump is the symbol for all those who chose the vision of America he articulated over what Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders offered. [More]
And if he could push a button to eradicate such “vermin”? “For the safety of humanity,” right?

Good Guys with Guns

The gunman killed one employee and paralyzed a second. That's when the employees at Schlenker Automotive fought back with equal force... [More]
But...but...but... the gun-grabbers ridicule that.

See...?

They'd rather all the victims had been unarmed.  Then just think of all that ownderful blood they'd have had to dance in!

The CMP Loophole

"The GAO investigation showed that privatization meant the end of Army controls on gun buyers, so even felons could purchase M-1 rifles." [More]
Really?

When I got mine through the DCM in 1995, I needed to get fingerprinted by the police, get my purchase certificate notarized and  fill out a National Agency Questionnaire DD Form 398-2 authorizing Defense Investigative Services to obtain criminal history record information.

It's almost like article author Pat Elder has an agenda or something.

We're the Only Ones 'til Death Do Us Part Enough

The document says she was very intoxicated and admits to the shooting. It also says she gave various accounts of the incident and in one version of events, stated that her husband tried to strangle her. [More]
I can't tell you how many times me 'n the Mrs. have done the exact same thing.

Of Real Interest

“They might cloak their advocacy in the public interest, but the real interest of these Internet giants is in using the regulatory process to cement their dominance in the Internet economy,” he said. [More]
I'd say the real interest is to cement dominance of Internet discourse, and the economic part will follow.

We're the Only Ones Securing Enough

It was an audacious scheme: an attempted inside job at the office of a federal watchdog agency, where the cops, the authorities said, became the robbers. Three employees in the inspector general’s office for the Department of Homeland Security stole a computer system that contained sensitive personal information of about 246,000 agency employees, according to three United States officials and a report sent to Congress last week. [More]
Quis custodiet 'n all that.

There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

Robots Are Coming for Jobs of as Many as 800 Million Worldwide [More]
But don't worry: Our tech lords have a solution.

Sing it, Rex.

Sour on Lauer

What's with all these media types who are ostensibly champions of women's rights turning out to be pigs? [More]

Oh, that's right: "Progressives." Opposite Day.

Lest anyone is tempted to counter with "Roy Moore," not only are the allegations unproven, but significant reasons have emerged to question them. Get the level of corroboration necessary to bring down a Rose or a Lauer (but evidently not a Franken or a Conyers) and we'll talk.
