But it Ain't Over 'til it's Over

A federal judge has declared a mistrial in the case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, saying U.S. prosecutors willfully withheld critical and "potentially exculpatory" evidence from the defense. [More]
Sounds good. But the judge admitting that "evidence that was withheld could have been favorable to the accused and could have affected the outcome of the case" raises a big red flag for me.

Acting Nevada U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre certainly comes across like a major villain in this story.

Missing the Point


[Comments under this]
So how are small content producers supposed to have their voices heard to help counter mass media lies of omission and commission?

Past time, really...

But don't worry. Brian J.Moran ain't going anywhere.

Speaking of Behind Bars


How long do you think the bar here is going to be behind Andy?

This whole thing is like a bad episode of "Better Call Saul."

All This Does

“All this does is make sure the relevant information gets sent to NICS ..." [Watch]
No, that's not all this does.

What this does is it says  as far as "shall not be infringed" goes, the NRA is firmly on the side of prior restraints that have no basis in delegated Constitutional authority. It says they believe "gun control" works. And if it does work, it deflates their arguments against "universal background checks."

I'd also challenge what's being blanket passed off as "due process" when it involves determinations by those with agendas of their own. And as far as accusing others of being motivated by fundraising, well...

All Quiet on the Western Front


Anybody aware of any new revelations by the Mandalay Bay investigators?

I did see a report that the shooter(s?) targeted some airport fuel tanks.


We're the Only Ones Worth a Thousand Words Enough

University of Wisconsin police say they've arrested a federal agent for taking photos in a women's restroom at a residence hall. [More]
I'm shocked.

How can a university in this day and age still promote hate via gender-assigned restrooms?

Why is it we know the UW spokesman's name and not his? And why didn't he follow Bureau tradition and just drill a hole through the door?

UPDATE:

Here we go -- Justin T. Fahy. I guess the other story's omission can be chalked up to "Consider the source."

So Arrest Her

Former talkshow host and comedian Rosie O’Donnell proudly and openly attempted to bribe Republican Senators Tuesday night, which is of course a felony. [More]
You mean if convicted she'll become a "prohibited person"?


What? War is Hell?

What Might Civil War Be Like? [More]
Aw go on. All those anonymous "MolonLabe!" comments assure me it will be a cakewalk.

Still, anybody think foreign opportunists are going to content themselves to be spectators?

Fortunately, there's a fake Yamamoto quote for that eventuality.

Betrayal in the Making

Senators, White House lay groundwork for Dreamers deal - Donald Trump's chief of staff met Tuesday with lawmakers from both parties, and a compromise looks likely in January. [More]
And what about breaking the chain...?

Don't expect a peep from our "gun rights leaders."

"Single issue," don'tcha know.Totally irrelevant to what we should be focusing on.

Right?

A Matter of Mindset

In Communist China, I was taught that hard work would bring success. In the land of the American dream, I learned that success comes through good luck, the right slogans, and monitoring your own—and others’—emotions. [More]
The contest is for dominance.

Not that they don't have internal issues of their own...

'With a Fresh New Twist'


"Santa's Husband"... [More]
And fear not if your local bookstore runs out. Thanks to your and my earnings being appropriated and transferred for the commonweal, chances are your public library is helping disseminate the agenda. I know mine is.

Any guesses if public schools are also stocking it?

Slim Pickings

The Times said Slim never affected coverage and a representative for the billionaire said Slim wasn’t interested in influencing the election. [More]
For the first part of the proposition, considering it's The Times, he didn't need to.  For the second, bull -- the guy knows exactly what "progressive" policies do to keep things in Mexico as is.

Speaking if which, does anybody think he could exist and prosper if the cartels didn't want him to? Or that the lack of investigation into the guy by "authorized journalists" hasn't been influenced by his place in the food chain?
