The Thing That Would Not Die

Gun Confiscation Ballot Measure Dead [More]
That's what we're always supposed to think about Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger.

Life imitates art.

Nonetheless, good job stopping the enemy push -- for now.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Sharply' Is

Justice Anthony Kennedy to retire, giving Trump a chance to shift Supreme Court sharply right [More]
Remember, we're dealing with people who want us to believe John McCain is a "maverick."

Heads, nonetheless, are exploding.

With all the mob-inciting going on, don't be surprised to see some of the more impulse control-challenged acting on their frustrations.

We're the Only Ones Restricting Enough

BLM Agents Open Fire on Innocent Couple, Shoot Woman Because ATV Drove Near Restricted Area [More]
Fortunately they were American citizens, so no problem...

A Resolved Dispute

A well-known Japanese blogger has been stabbed to death by an internet user he had argued with, shortly after giving a talk on "how to manage disputes online." [More]
He should have focused more on managing them in meatspace.

Hey, thank goodness a gun wasn't used, eh?

A Plan Comes Together

You may have noticed that at the same time the left has triggered its hypnotized "bots" to scream about immigration, there is something of a renewal of rhetoric on gun control. [More]
I have.

Fairfax continues to ignore the connection.

Then there's this:
Though no law-abiding gun-owner has yet felt threatened enough to use his or her gun in self-defense against a Democratic mob, isn't it inevitable that one will with this new escalation in tactics?
Point of order...

We're the Only Ones Intimate Enough

Strzok defended his messages as "intimate" conversations with an "intimate friend," according to those in the room. [More]
Who among us has not conspired to undermine election results while cheating on his wife?

An Effective Combination

Texas college no longer promises ‘freedom of thought’ [More]

The Magic Caliphate

“People were saying ‘you’re going to traumatize children,’” said Nurah Abdulhaqq, a Georgia teen who helped start the group, called National Die In. She said she feared a public backlash if the group went forward with the protest. [More]
In other words, it's all about the optics.

Hey, who better to be the arbiter of  freedom than a hijab-wearing child of no discernible qualifications who places the blame on "white privilege"?

First Responders

Medina, who was not armed, was the first to see killer Nikolas Cruz walk onto the campus. He told investigators shortly after the shooting that he didn’t confront Cruz or lock down the school. Instead, Medina said he radioed ahead to warn Taylor that a suspicious kid was headed his way. Taylor hid in a closet. [More]
This is the level of protection the useful idiots have been manipulated into demanding for you and yours.

Fiddlers on the Dach

Donny Deutsch, Michael Hayden and the Moral Collapse of American Jewish Institutions [More]
It figures Opposite Day "progressives" would equate those who support their right to back up the words "Never Again" with those who made the words necessary.

The Gunkapo Hoplophobe

"I don't have an issue with business owners having guns for self protection. I'm a gun owner myself," one person commented on the post. "I have issue with customers being encouraged to carry guns in your establishment. Too much potential for accidents. Even the most trained people have gun accidents, and people who carry in public without training and a permit scare me." [More]
Master is pleased.

Can There Be No Peace Between Our Peoples?

“No appeal to decency can ever bring Trump or the Trumpists around. It is not possible to mollify a political cult that runs on outrage, and it’s not worth trying.” [More]
I guess not.  Although those projecting accusations do bring a debate of note to mind...

Same request as here...

Unclear on the Concept

The Ignorant Do Not Have a Right to an Audience [More]
No one does, because that involves the time and effort of others.

What this hive insect is driving at is a way to exclude thought he disagrees with. That the forum giving him an amplifier is a prime, consistent and motivated violator of the truth tells us much.

So does this:
Like most Americans, I spontaneously cheered when I saw the white nationalist Richard Spencer punched in the face during an interview.

AIRBNB'S DEFIANT SPOT RESPONDS TO SUPREME COURT'S UPHOLDING OF TRUMP TRAVEL BAN [More]
Well now where am I going to go to get raped and murdered?

The Plan to Save the World


Interesting. [More]

How this guy "knows" is another story, and a seemingly unstated one.

Amidst the moments of hopefulness, I do see things that raise some flags for me -- the biggest being they seem to be carrying out their plan without regard to those of us who insist on knowing what "they'll" be replacing things with and just who "they" are.

Some of us have very definite ideas about what is "necessary to the security of a free State," and you don't want to introduce yourself to us as our new boss.

Not Equal to the Task

State Senator Nasheed calls for ‘State of Emergency’ to combat violent crime in St. Louis [More]
So if she's basically admitting her constituency is incapable of self-government, doesn't that invalidate elections that put her and other local political "leaders" in power? And that solutions are beyond them, too?

And that they need a higher authority to take over?

Sure, Mr. Adams, now would be an excellent time to weigh in.

One Question

He was carrying a knife, duct tape, and pepper spray -- that he purchased at the Short Pump Walmart -- when he arrived at the family's home. [More]
So why didn't the family follow gun-grabber advice and just give him what he wanted?

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Unprecedented Enough

The Kansas Highway Patrol took more than $15,000 from Reese in a 1995 traffic stop that resulted in no charges. Since then, and despite a judge's order, the patrol has refused to repay Reese ... "It would be bad precedent, and bad policy, to make this payment in this manner," Colyer said. [More]
Besides, it sounds like somebody had one hell of a barbecue.

[Via bondmen]

¡Viva la RevoluciĆ³n!

Whoever wins Sunday's presidential election will have to face not only Mexico's drug cartels, but a new kind of crime involving whole neighborhoods defying police and military personnel. [More]
Coming soon, to a Sanctuary City near you.

Things to Come

This is all going to get more extreme. And it should. [More]
Just one request: Start it up before the mid-terms and horrify the normals.

The Replacements

A 28-year-old Democratic Socialist just ousted a powerful, 10-term congressman in New York [More]
The CNN flack sounds positively giddy.

Old Guard white "progressives" are going to increasingly find over the coming years that constituencies aren't the only things that can be replaced.

Tribalism is the future.

Democratic Socialists, eh?

Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie?

Bloomberg-Supported Gun ‘News’ Feeds False Narrative that Heller was Revisionist


Thwarted, resentful antis have never gotten over the rejection of their pre-Heller insistence that “the Second Amendment guarantees no right to possess firearms unless in connection with service in a state-regulated militia.” They’ve been nursing that grudge ever since, unable to let it go or to stop lying that an activist SCOTUS somehow invented “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” [More]
The gun-grabbers are the revisionists. So it figures those who rely on fraud and manipulation would point fingers, project and proclaim the exact opposite.
