Hiatus



I'm outta here until mid-next week. I'll be unchaining feral sons Uday and Qusay from the basement and giving them free run of the house, so they'd better not chew up the sofa again.

Since I won't be here to moderate, I'm turning comments off until my return. Please hold all tips, emails and social media messages, because I not only won't get to them now, there's no way I'll be able to on my return.

Thanks for understanding.  See ya on the other side.

Mr. Popularity


I'm getting too many Facebook "friend" requests to process and determine which accounts are fake. Every time I approve one, another or two pop up, a lot of the time from hackers pretending to be Facehookers. Apologies to anyone trying to connect, but until I figure things out, including who I've let in whose page brought in the others, I need to suspend accepting new requests. Sorry, but the only reason I'm on "social media" is to promote the work, and dealing with this is taking time away from that.

Expert Analysis on Contradictions & Dangers in Proposed ‘Bump Stock’ Ban


A comment posted Tuesday to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ proposed “Bump-Stock Type Device” rule shows the administration’s intended action sets up conditions for a wider ban on semiautomatic firearms. Filed by firearms designer, expert witness and Historic Arms, LLC President  Len Savage, the response to the government’s mandated-by-law request for comments, is posted as four distinct “pdf” files. [More]
If the "rationale" put forth by the administration is allowed to prevail, the gun-grabbers will then be able to use it to go after all semiautos.

America's Got Talentlessness

Camoflauge's background formed the perfect "gangsta rap" resume. He grew up in Savannah's public housing projects, had a record of arrests on drug possession charges, and suffered minor injuries in a shooting last year. He also spent three months in jail in 2000 charged with murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Kenneth Capers. Camoflauge was released after a grand jury failed to indict him.

So Police AREN'T 'There to Protect Us'?

“Plaintiff’s claims share a common question: whether there is constitutional duty under the Fourteenth Amendment for the police to intervene to protect a citizen from criminal conduct by third parties,” Judge Norman K.

When he says "Defend Second Amendment" he offers rah-rah platitudes, and then turns around and spearheads a "nonpartisan gun violence panel" of special interest apparatchiks pushing prior restraint/no due process ERPOs, and promises to includes "two high school students." Democrats and teenagers -- there's a formula for "shall not be infringed."

Pander much?

I also note when he says "Fix Immigration Process," he qualifies it by asserting "legal immigration is the lifeblood of our country" and doesn't say a word about what to do with the invaders already here.

There'll be plenty of lifeblood all over the country, alright, if new citizens and their offspring continue voting the way they have and do.

Utah's got real problems, and their problems are our problems.  I see no solutions here.

"Boulder has traditionally tried to welcome different people to the community," Caldara says.
