A Dire Place in History
Jodie Foster Speaks Out on Current State of Gun Control: ‘We Are At a Dire Place in History’ [More]Lady, you don't know the half of it. That's when the Founders deemed we'd need arms the most.
And "robots"? Her solution is these?
I guess she needs to hit on some hot button issues to generate some buzz for the "total garbage" she's out there hawking.
Jodie Foster: She's not a smart person but she plays one in the movies.

From the Department of Queer Complaints*
Gay Americans are arming themselves to stay alive. [More]They need to be more vocal calling out the George Takei's of the world.
I was thinking of writing an article on this, but other priorities call and I've pretty much had my say over the years. Bottom line, tolerance means live and let live. It doesn't mean bending over or having it shoved in our faces or rammed down our throats. Besides, there's something tangentially related in the works that I've been trying to get more information on.
I don't know anyone rational who believes one person has a right to initiate force against another who is not attacking him, or who doesn't believe the victim of an attack has an unalienable right to defend himself. Nothing else, for the purposes of RKBA, is relevant.

The Fix Was In
'We’ll stop it': Justice Department inspector general says texting FBI lovers talked about keeping Trump from becoming president – yet insists there was no 'political bias' in Hillary Clinton email probe ... Horowitz criticized Comey and former AG Loretta Lynch for not communicating before announcements about major decisions in the probe... [More]In other words, nothing actionable.
F...er did the same thing with Gunwalker.
This is my shocked face.

Received via email:
"FYI. Today I listened in on a 30-minute conference call sponsored by Everytown/MOMs GSAN.
They are HIGHLY organized. This is what we face: Elected representatives are bombarded with weekly calls from people using a script.
GSAN works three sub-committees.
1. Voter Outreach
Volunteers call MOMs members, seeking their participation as volunteers. They use automated-dialing and provide scripts. They can re-connect the called person with the office of their own elected representative. They use something they call a Hub-Dialer, which taps into a database of members. Key is pushing back on NRA-supported legislation.
Some of the information was misleading, such as alluding to NRA's proposed legislation "making us less safe".
Against national CC recioprocity because it reduces us to the laws of the weakest states; no acknowledgement that a concealed carrier must obey the laws of the state in which s/he is.
Silencers. You can't hear the shots (and then know to run.)
2. Welcome Outreach
Volunteers call new members to welcome them, using automated dialers and scripts and try to call within two weeks of membership date.
3. Hustle Team (Texting)
An effort involving texting messages."

The Company They Keep
'It was like summer camp on steroids.' White House stenographer lifts lid on President Obama's Air Force One and reveals how 'Xanax and Ambien' on long flights made 'awkward hookups with colleagues funny and bizarre' [More]No wonder they hate the America that does not behave that way.

The Spice of Life
He then alleges that pepper spray is just as effective as guns when it comes to self-defense. [More]With no range capability and stopping power comparisons...? And he wants to write our laws? So his platform is basically one of official incompetence and criminal negligence that puts lives at risk by enacting unfounded, feelings-based opinions?
You know, Opposite Day "progressive" SOP...
How ignorant would a citizen have to be to vote for this useful idiot, and how would doing so not be citizenship malpractice?

That this child presumes to impose his economic "understanding" on the productive sector, and that "progressives" cheer it all on like the emotion-driven idiots they are, should tell rational adults all they need to know.

A New Nest to Foul
Grewal is attacking the right to buy gun parts and to learn how to make guns. He is attacking both the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, and the First Amendment right to freedom of the press and free speech. [More]His parents were immigrants, which leads to the question of why people escape their lot in foreign lands, come here, and then try to duplicate the "monopoly of violence" conditions they escaped.
It also makes fair to challenge all those cheap labor "Republicans" on how it "secure[s] the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" by bringing in "legal immigrants" whose beliefs are antithetical to the Bill of Rights -- especially when all credible evidence shows that plays into the hands of those who would rule.

When Child Sex Robots are Banned
“Once an abuser tires of practicing on a doll, it’s a small step to move on to a child. My bill takes necessary steps to stop these sickening dolls from reaching our communities,” said Rep. Dan Donovan, a New York Republican who sponsored the legislation. [More]Gateway droids? How would he know? And is there enough of a "demand" to create a black market, with an attendant War on Automatons?
That said, what kind of degenerate would think either real or artifical are anything but base perversions, and can such a deviant ever be trusted without a custodian?
And that said, wait 20 years, and expressing such attitudes will land you on SPLC's hate list. Especially when AI gets the vote -- and don't think there aren't those pushing for it.
