Chris Matthews’ Sex Harassment Payout Means He Should Face Some Hardball Questions of His Own

Then again, appropriate workplace behavior, if you’re going to present yourself as a “journalist” (as opposed to an apparatchik) requires balance and sticking to facts, as opposed to naked advocacy.  Such as his unabashed braying for citizen disarmament… [More]

Why does the thought of a state monopoly of violence send such a thrill up this government fetishist's leg?

We're the Only Ones Unfit for Duty Enough

A lawyer for an FBI agent arrested in western Michigan for firing his gun at a police officer outside a fitness club says the agent was feeling paranoid and only vaguely recalls what happened. [More]

We're the Only Ones True Believing Enough

Paving the Pathway

Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security posted the annual Yearbook of Immigration Statistics for 2016, and it appears that Obama’s promise to fundamentally transform America didn’t disappoint. [More]

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

It must not, because otherwise you'd expect to see all those gun groups and gun writers and gun bloggers making a big deal out of this.  Since they're not, it must just be me.

If you believe that, you answer this.

Oh, that's easy.

Because NRA told him to.

'til Death Do Us Part

I found her and her victim's Facebook pages. Not much in terms of overt politics, but there's definitely more than a touch of crazy cat lady.

Beast Mode

German 'zoophile' group ZETA has announced it will mount a legal challenge should a ban on bestiality become law. [More]

And that's not all it will mount.

What are you, some kind of intolerant zoophobe?

Besides, it's nice to see the native population finding common ground with refugees.

We're the Only Ones Ready for Our Close-Up Enough

"There Is a Constitutional Right of the Public to Film the Official Activities of Police Officers in a Public Place." [More]

So all those camera-shy "Only Ones" were in the wrong...?

Make the edict so convoluted even those administering it don't have a clue as to how... [More] 

I can't say I have a lot of sympathy for gun owners scrambling to comply.

But if you get what you want you can't have Christmas... so then you won't get what you want...

We're the Only Ones Profiling Enough

[S]ecrecy is pervasive in the Sunflower State. The state’s handling of racial profiling complaints is another example. [More]

Yet for some rea$on, establishment-recognized "community leaders" then turn around and advocate for police being the "Only Ones" armed...

We're the Only Ones Close-Mouthed Enough

St. Louis police defend their practice of `taking the 5th` in officer-involved shooting investigations [More]

Why Hide from Your Past?

The anarchist group "It's Going Down" last April bragged online about sabotaging railroad tracks in the Pacific Northwest to block fracking equipment from getting to its destination. The group has since deleted the post... [More]

Yes they have:

Why?

Fortunately, the internet can be forever:

"Early in the morning of April 20th we poured concrete on the train tracks that lead out of the Port of Olympia to block any trains from using the tracks... This action and actions like it are quite easy to do yourself. This only took a few hours and a little bit of planning... Concrete on the tracks is just a start."

Everything else is just noise. They tried to incite with it and now they're trying to hide from any culpability by going on the attack against anyone reminding people of their own words.

Noting who's in charge of Amtrak, this may very well turn out to be a human/system failure and this could just be a coincidence. That doesn't alter the fact that these sadists and psychopaths are out there bragging about derailing trains, encouraging others to follow suit, and then doing everything they can to discredit and destroy anyone pointing to an inconvenient truth they tried to bury.

What's the Hurry?
