Cutting Out the Middleman

Looks like Crazy Eric's can take down the wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man...

Short and to the Point



I review Bracken's latest. [More]

If you want to know more, read it.

I've tried to encourage that.


Let Your Fingers Do the Walking


[More]
Regular readers know why I like the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel. And you don't have to be from Colorado to get a lot of value from it.

Command Fitness

Passing Combat Endurance Test is no longer required for infantry officers [More]
Why?
To date, only one unnamed female Marine has successfully completed the entire course.
No worries:
But Marine officials at Training Command contend the changes are not an effort to water down standards.
And some military professionals are fully supportive of the U.S. revising physical standards.  And yeah, I get this is propaganda featuring a handful that get fed, but still, a narration line comes to mind.

They'll Never Stop

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS RENEW CALL FOR GUN CONTROL LAWS [More]
That's because they're domestic enemies and traitors.

Oh Shut Up

"Americans don't want to pick cotton at 105 degrees (Fahrenheit)..." [More]
Do they want to eat?

Besides, it's increasingly a moot point. Just ask the Indians not here on an H-1B.

My contempt for this dynasty grows every time they open their damn yaps.

And as for badmouthing Putin, tell me who didn't find this a national embarrassment to hear it come out of a president's mouth?

There's Something About Mary

In action - it is all Mary Taylor.  When she was in the statehouse she was an original co-sponsor of Ohio's original concealed handgun licensing bill HB12.  The next session she co-sponsored statewide preemption; the very law that we used JUST LAST WEEK to beat back the anti-gun forces in Cleveland. [More]
Me, I've long been part of the "Anyone But DeSwine" crowd.

That said, "No stance on record" is unacceptable. If you're in her corner, you'd better let her know that.



The List Seems Kind of Slim

Seven Reasons to Beware the Southern Poverty Law Center [More]
I must have missed the part about "lying domestic enemies."

For Their Survivors



From MASP Industries, a custom gun manufacturer in Lincoln, NE:
We recently released a custom military line of Glocks with all the proceeds going to families that have experienced a loss of one of these heroes.

VIDEO SHOWS MEXICAN CARTEL LEADER KILLED WHEN HELICOPTER USES MINI-GUN TO LAY DOWN FIRE ON HIS HOME [More]
These people have every "commonsense gun safety law" the Moms are Demanding and then some!

So Did It Matter?

Black Lives Matter activist Muhiyidin d'Baha dies after being shot in New Orleans [More]
So have they told us who the killer is yet?

I'm just wondering if it was one of those "white racists" we're told are the primary threat...

Heresy

Rape Survivor Calls For #MeToo Movement To Include Gun Rights [More]
It'll never happen. The entire "movement" relies on being able to bellow to the world about being victims.

Why Do You Think They Call Them 'Pussies'?

All hail the rise of cat men, an antidote to toxic masculinity [More]
It's never fair to completely generalize. My Mom had a cat rescued by my older sister who couldn't keep it at college. It was an odd-eyed white (one blue/one green) that was very cool -- feral and unapproachable when outside doing her wetwork, and absolutely loving when inside. She knew I was her protector from my "tormenting" kid brother and chose me as her "go to" human above all others except at feeding time. There were also no illusions about the nature the relationship would take were the size ratio reversed.

That said, those profiled in this 2016 piece would not seem out of place in pink knit caps. What it's really doing is saying men who also know how to assume their roles as providers and protectors are "toxic," backward, brutish, incapable of tenderness, and just not as civilized as Pajama Boys and snotty anti-gun metrosexuals.

Bull. I've found knowing what it is I'm providing for and capable of protecting enhances total commitment and love.

We're the Only Ones Dominating Enough

A New Jersey sheriff’s officer has lost her job because she previously appeared in bondage films as a dominatrix. [More]
Couldn't pick a better state for that predisposition...

So would you say they broke their Hyman...?

We're the Only Ones Penetrating Enough

The trip from the Piggly Wiggly to the Russell County Jail should have taken about five minutes, authorities said. But records show the trip took about 40 minutes. [More]
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

An Agenda Apparatchik

He was one at the FBI and now he'll be one at CNN. [More]

Both places seem like perfect fits for someone of his disposition.

And thanks in large part to Fairfax taking care of what really matters, it looks like he'll get to do it armed.

We're the Only Ones Busting Butts Enough

Stone was in his police uniform armed with his gun and Taser when he walked behind the counter of a Phillips 66 at 6150 Natural Bridge Road and smacked the buttocks of Keyonna Crawford, now 30, a store clerk. [More]
I can't tell you how many times I've done that, and I'm not even a professional like him.

State Dept. Terry FOIA Redactions Show Resistance Rather than Compliance


We did not set out wanting to file a lawsuit. What we wanted were answers. [More]
What don't they want to share, aside from everything?

NYC' 'Commonsense Gun Safety Laws' Work!

Couple fatally stabbed at Brooklyn home [More]
Well that's a preferred outcome, isn't it?


Breaking Camp

Seattle is putting fences under its bridges to keep campers out... [More]
Who "camps" under an urban bridge?

"Campers" wouldn't be a euphemism for people "progressives" ooze phony concern for, would it? Since Seattle's a defiant "sanctuary city" that opposes "Trump's wall," that couldn't include any "asylum seekers" could it?
