With ‘Stand Your Ground’ Veto Threat, Oath-Breaking Kasich Continues Betraying Gun Owners That Helped Elect Him

As for Kasich, making it harder for you to defend yourself is no skin off his nose. The “skyrocketed” costs of his security detail don’t come out of his pocket. [More]

With "Republicans" like this delusional virtue-oozer, who needs Democrats?

Gracias

Nice to see someone honest enough to admit the game plan is conquest through unresisted invasion. [More]

Any American giving aid and comfort to this act of war is, by definition, a traitor.

Today in Fake News

The crying Honduran girl on the cover of Time was not separated from her mother. [More]

Plus the mother had been previously deported and the father didn't support her putting their daughter through the attempt.

Not that it matters to those who know insist it's nonetheless symbolic.

We're the Only Ones Cutting Off Communications Enough

Public’s ability to monitor police radio traffic ends July 2; Richmond-area agencies to encrypt all channels [More]

If we want you to know something, we'll tell you. In our own time and in our own way.

If what they say they fear -- bad guys overhearing tactical information -- is really a concern, look for some equipment to mysteriously "disappear," or better yet, for some enterprising "Only One" to exploit an opportunity.

Certifiable

Boulder's two gun stores will not be able to issue certificates to owners of assault weapons that are grandfathered in under the city's ban on the guns, which took effect last week. [More]

The would-be totalitarians intend to harass as much as they can.

I wonder how many will comply with this Intolerable Act.

A Matter of Priorities

"Our defense of speech may have a greater or lesser harmful impact on the equality and justice work to which we are also committed," wrote ACLU staffers in a confidential memo... [More]

There comes a time when the mask's no longer needed.

In the Chips

New laws are calling for the dependable tracking of firearms, and modern RFID tags can be integrated with the metal components of firearms to monitor the use of guns. [More]

Why just violate the Second Amendment when we can include the Fourth and Fifth?

And why not mandate remote shutoff switches, activated by "Only Ones" or automatically (to include an alert to authorities) if you mistakenly enter a "gun-free zone"? 

Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong...

What's in a Name?

Outgoing GOP Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona is blocking votes on all of President Donald Trump’s appeals court nominees... [More]

At least he's  "'A' rated and endorsed by the NRA Political Victory Fund. And that's why he deserves your support – and your vote."

What? "Flake wants to: Ban bump stocks. Prevent those who are on the "no-fly list" from purchasing firearms. Raise the age to purchase a rifle from 18-years-old to 21..."?

At least this has nothing to do with that "single issue."  Right?

Out of the Hearts of Men Like This

After the IG Report, Let’s Kill the FBI While We Can - It’s time for this intrusive, politicized, and overly powerful agency to be dumped. [More]

But...but...but who will take over ATF?

And can we still keep the HRT?

I think everybody needs to just settle down and get their minds right:

The Noes Have It

Looks like the "pathway to citizenship" wing of the Republican Party shares more common interests with Democrats than it does with those they swore an oath "to secure the Blessings of Liberty" for. [More] 

If the GOP blows the midterms, look for all the blame to target the swamp-drainers, rather than the poltroons whose serial betrayals have created disincentives to participate at the polls.

A Bitter Enemy

Steyer has amassed a reputation as a kingmaker in Democratic politics and a bitter enemy of fossil fuels. [More]

I wouldn''t say just of fossil fuels.

So when are his Russian election collusion ties going to be investigated?

Oh, look: More rich "progressive" hypocrisy.

Long Time Coming

'About 60 Organizations' Are Considering a Lawsuit Against the SPLC Following $3M Nawaz Settlement [More]

Mike is smiling.

Different Wings of the Same Bird of Prey

Judicial Watch Obtains IRS Documents Revealing McCain’s Subcommittee Staff Director Urged IRS to Engage in “Financially Ruinous” Targeting [More]

It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Turnabout

WikiLeaks publishes identities and information about ICE employees amid intensifying anger [More]

Yeah, the guy behind it is doing it for all the wrong reasons, and yeah, it'll make Fonda Peter happy, but I keep coming back to "Can government do that to us?"

Why stop at ICE?

We're the Only Ones Ridesharing Enough

[A] deputy saw Timothy Hopkins ... was wanted and arrested him, handcuffing him in the front seat of the patrol car. While the deputy was making arrangements with her, Hopkins escaped in the patrol car, Marshak said. [More]

I guess that's the difference between trained professionals and us mere "civilians."  I'd have never thought to handle it that way.

We're the Only Ones All Bite and No Bark Enough

Betts defense attorney has said the dog was attacking the officer. [More]

No it wasn't.

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Immune Enough

In court documents, the city is claiming qualified immunity – arguing the officers named in the suit did not violate “any clearly established law.” [More]

Yeah, when they do it, it's not kidnapping.

We're the Only Ones Unknowledgeable Enough

"I have no idea what he's talking about," Pilato said. [More]

Neither does he. And the scary part is, "he's been trained on this and he has been doing this for 17 years."

As for the woman hearing her window being smashed in, what the hell was she supposed to do?

The Low Road

Chicago is the first of more than 75 cities the survivors of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School plan to visit this summer. [More]

What, no itinerary?  I wonder why.

As for Jennifer Hudson turning her family tragedy into a demeand to disarm you and me, shall we examine an inconvenient truth?

Balfour was on parole at the time for a 1992 attempted murder conviction.

Hmmm...

Get Us Out from Under, Wonder Woman!

Fox News reported Swain apologized to anyone who was offended but “essentially defended the poster, claiming Wonder Woman using her ‘lasso of truth’ to keep ‘less-than-honest police officers’ in line is a metaphor for cross-examination and a zealous defense.” [More]

So she can't now use the excuse that subtle costume changes resolve copyright issues? Assuming Wonder Woman is a valuable intellectual property, how is uncompensated use not a valuable campaign contribution (and endorsement) made by AT&T and its Warner Media subsidiary division?

Maybe someone should ask the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission.

And this collectivist wants to be the state's top law enforcement administrator?

Me, I always liked Woman Wonder better anyway.  That said, I had to laugh at "the titular Amazon heroine."
