Character Is as Character Does

The Publisher of Newsweek And The International Business Times Has Been Buying Traffic And Engaging In Ad Fraud [More]

No ethics and bordering on criminal at Newsweek...?

Who'da guessed?

It's All in the Wrist

Amazon has been granted a pair of patents for a wristband that can pinpoint the location of warehouse employees and track their hand movements in real time. [More]

The potential for fun snooping in on restroom breaks is endless. 

As are other possibilities.

Still, devices that can be taken off are so old school compared to the new wave in prole control.

38 Grenades Found Along Road In Dorchester County [More]

Please take a number...

Ya gotta wonder what the backstory is on this.

What's with the White Privilege?

An aspiring rapper was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison after posing in a music video with guns despite a previous conviction, US prosecutors announced Wednesday. [More]

But rich, white and connected Pokey Poke continues to get an assumption-based pass from the federal government that was denied to a struggling minority artist?

Clap On! Clap Off!

The Clapper! [More]

UPDATE: Can't offend "progressive" sensitivities at Twitter with something as coarse as the truth, now can we?

Tancredo Shares Blame for Fundraising Shortfall

“Tancredo stood out as the only representative from Colorado to vote for the final gun-control bill, which allowed just 24 hours for background checks at gun shows but also placed some restrictions on semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity ammunition clips [sic],” The New York Times reported in 1999, explaining why, following the events at Columbine, the congressman bucked his largest campaign contributor, the National Rifle Association, and sided with the gun-grabbers. [More]

It was Tancredo’s infidelity on guns after Columbine that violated trust and burned bridges.

It's Payback Time

Evidently Kate Brown put up more infringements on Oregon gun owners as collateral for Bloomberg money... [More]

As the Story Changes

Hawaii worker who sent missile alert thought threat was real [More]

So this business about selecting the wrong option from a drop down menu was a  state government-issued lie to cover up the even wider-reaching incompetence that goes hand-in-hand with"progressives" being "in charge"?

And more importantly -- do you think Ige got his suitcase opened yet?

Easily Offended

MSNBC’S JOY REID TRIGGERED BY TRUMP USING THE WORD “FAMILY” Bizarrely claims terms “family,” “church,” “police” “national anthem” are part of a “bygone era” [More]

That's a pretty privileged person to be walking around with such a big chip on her shoulder. I wonder if she bares her fangs and hisses when somebody holds up a cross...?

We're the Only Ones Non-Interventionist Enough, Eh?

Two officers told the student group that they could not stop the vandalism because it could be perceived as police support for Youth Protecting Youth, and that intervening with the protesters could “escalate” the situation. [More]

Right, we can't be seen as favoring victims over aggressors, eh?

Action/Reaction

So "Catholic" DePaul University toyed with charging Americans more to give scholarships to illegals, and is a “sanctuary campus” that has "publicly expressed their refusal to cooperate with the Trump administration’s enforcement of immigration laws"...? [More]

So the Republican-controlled House, Senate and White House can't figure out a way to deny eligibility of such law-defying schools to receive funds from PELL, SEOG and TEACH grants...?

There's So Much Wrong in This

I don't know where to begin. [More]

Murderer? Welfare cheats? A corrupt social worker? Nine kids and pregnant? Longstanding child abuse?

Does it make me "xenophobic" to wonder if something else isn't being mentioned?

Is it at least safe to wonder if the "social worker" is a Democrat? And what culpability will "Bright Beginnings" share for administering programs where their employees can turn a blind eye to child abuse and engage in exploitative criminal activity with apparently very little oversight? Or will their ladling from the Cuyahoga County, Ohio General Revenue and Federal IDEA wealth transfer troughs continue unabated?

We're the Only Ones Suspenseful Enough

Illinois State Police said an officer in the Brooklyn Police Department has been driving a patrol car with a suspended license. [More]

I wonder what he'd have done to one of us if he'd pulled us over and our licenses had been suspended...

We're the Only Ones Illuminating Enough

A 9-year-old girl wounded by bullet fragments was so directly in the line of fire when a Wichita police officer shot at her dog that the flashlight he shined from above his gun barrel illuminated her face right before he fired, her family’s attorney says. [More]

And the City Attorney won't release the video because "the law doesn't require it." So there.

That's illuminating, too.

Unintended Consequences

A Paper Tears Apart in a City That Never Quite Came Together [More]

And never will.

Not that I'll shed a tear if it folds.

Maybe they ought to publish it in Spanish.
