Journalist Protection Act an Unconstitutional and Shameless Political Ploy for Media Attention


Fortunately, because it’s a lunatic bill everyone knows is just being introduced to get some ink (a lot, actually) to make him appear relevant, Swalwell’s attention-seeking gesture is going nowhere.  [More]
Rep. Swalwell gets lots of free publicity to make it look like he’s a credible leader, as opposed to a pandering political opportunist. And point of order, it ain’t “our democracy.”

Turning Blue

“Virginia voters say they generally think it is more important to control who can buy guns than it is to protect the rights of Virginians to own guns…" [More]
And the key to making that electorally irreversible is...

Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue," even though this clearly says it does.  Besides, what's the worst that could happen?

Oh well, I suppose if it were really a concern we'd have heard something by now from national and state "gun rights" groups.

Well That Figures

The same woman, who works as a paralegal for the Norfolk commonwealth’s attorney, took out a charge with a Newport News magistrate later that day, accusing Haugh of pointing or brandishing a gun at her ... Haugh worked for Attorney General Mark Herring for three years ... [More]
He worked for an anti-concealed carry Democrat...?

The Vagina Monologue


Is anyone surprised?
Democrat transplant Melissa Wintrow refuses to consider or allow "stand your ground" for Idaho natives:

This is where her head is at:

What, you thought I was kidding?

The Finest 'Just Us' Money Can Buy

George Soros helped tip another district attorney’s race with more than $100,000 in support of his preferred candidate — and he did it without anybody finding out until after the campaign. [More]
Yep, we've noticed a pattern before.

Stephanie Morales-- bought and paid for by your global masters.

The deal has indeed been altered.

Deceptive and Simple

Moms Demand Action's Founder Shares a Deceptively Simple Way You Can Combat Gun Violence [More]
That describes their arguments, alright.

As for "facing down trolls on social media," it would appear her most common simply deceptive resort is to block those with a counter narrative she does not want her useful idiot followers to be exposed to.

Leader of the Pack

"You've lost me as a customer," said one person. [More]
Good. Crazy people are a liability to deal with anyway. Besides, I'll bet if pressed to prove it, that thread would quickly go dark.

It's telling, how the headline reads "Duluth Pack social media post raises eyebrows, ire," but says nothing about also raising support.

You can weigh in here, here and here.

The Redeemed

Buckeye Firearms Association PAC Endorses Mike DeWine for Governor [More]
Because if we can't trust a past Brady Campaign endorsee, who can we trust?

Oh, but he's changed?

Can't prove it by me.

His deliberate indifference to ensuring police know the law in re open carry is still leaving gun owners at risk from overzealous Ohio "Only Ones."

Besides, can anyone produce a public apology for past transgressions where he admitted he was wrong, explained why to show he understood, and begged forgiveness of those he betrayed?

And lest we forget:

  • Voted YES on establishing a Guest Worker program.
  • Voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
  • Voted YES on giving Guest Workers a path to citizenship.
  • Voted YES on allowing more foreign workers into the US for farm work.
  • Voted YES on visas for skilled workers.
  • Cover child resident aliens under Medicaid and SCHIP.

Fortunately, none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."

I mean, it's not like that sets Ohio on course to turn blue a few years down the road, right, BFA?

In an Alternate Universe

Here's a simple thought experiment regarding the 2nd Amendment. What do you think the U.S. would be like if we didn't have it? [More]
I've been saying this for years: As being armed acts as a deterrent on individual aggressors, so too does that work on a societal scale.

I've seen some deride that, and point to the mess we're in as corroboration.

It could be worse.

"Unarmed guards."

On the streets of Baltimore.

Where do they think they are, England?

Immigrant Song

They are, as they love to proclaim, proud feminists, whose ardent belief in sisterhood ends where brutal Islamic patriarchy, gender oppression, and primitive "honor culture" begin. That is feminism, Swedish style. [More]

The Death Panel


What is going on in the U.K.? There seems to be a run on ending life-sustaining treatment for the littlest patients.[More]
Because there's nothing "progressives" like more than killing babies. And you'd better believe their criteria will be on a slippery slope, requiring less and less "justification" to give a thumbs down.

#HerToo

In December, when Time magazine announced that “Silence Breakers” who spoke out against sexual harassment were its Persons of the Year, Garcia’s face was prominently included in the art accompanying the cover story. [More]
"Silence Breakers"? What, did she fart?

It's about time this side of the story got told.  After learning about #MeToo Megan and her "employee," I suspect, as with the phenomenon of partner abuse, we'll find no shortage of female initiators despite the lion's share of blame being apportioned to men.

That'll Teach Us

PLEASE don't throw me into that briar patch!

On the plus side, plenty of seats left...
