Hitting the Ground Running


Oh look: New York's newest communist doesn't want us to have shotguns. [More]

What Day Is It?



I'll be calling in at 1:20 Eastern. Assuming most of you don't live inAnchorage, you can pick up the live stream here.

Ripping Off the Mask

The Democrats Are Done Pretending to Be Moderate [More]
Ha! Good one.

Soon they'll quit pretending to be peaceable. We see signs of that facade crumbling daily.

The Impossible Dream

CA Supreme Court: Bullet stamping law survives despite being impossible to comply with [More]
If you people would turn in your guns already, we wouldn't have to keep resorting to these half-measures.

The More Insidious of Two Evils

Other organizations may be happy with a hunting and fishing ballot initiative posing as pro-gun legislation, but we at GRNC are not fooled by a wispy, token gesture in the absence of real pro-gun legislative action. Second Amendment voters like you played a pivotal role in Republicans gaining and maintaining a supermajority in the NC legislature, but how has Republican leadership repaid you for this? Simple... [More]
A short term loss now that sends a clear course correction message will be less costly than letting the betrayals continue.

What's Going On in Leon Valley?

The livestreamers were arrested for threats and DOX information being posted in their live chats by other parties. The others were detained or arrested as witnesses. All recording capable electronics were taken by the police regardless if they recorded anything or not. News Now Houston and Thresa R has reported that the police are also towing cars once again. [More]
I was sent links to a couple videos that I just won't have time to watch completely if I'm to stay on schedule and get my work done:


Because I have not watched these entirely through and because this is all new to me, I am not qualified to assess their claims, although the portions I did see aren't setting well. 

Facebook comment posters are not pleased.

Channeling Roseanne

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos recently told at least two news outlets that he wanted vigilantes to start shooting journalists, but he insisted Thursday that he did so to taunt reporters. [More]
I don't see how anyone will ever hire him to do what he does in today's climate of economic exile.

Even though "authorized journalists" trivialize and ridicule when such sentiment directed against those they oppose is not a joke.

And even if what he was joking about were, in real life, what Vanderboegh called "Bill Clinton's Rules of Engagement."

We're the Fauxnly Ones Holy Enough


This guy is a "pastor." [More]

As always, be aware of the Fauxnly One Files. You never know when they might offer a body of defense evidence for why you didn't automatically comply with an inappropriately-acting enforcer.

And So It Begins

Mainstream Media Blame Donald Trump for Maryland Newspaper Shooter [More]
We knew they'd try.

Plus the cops were warned about the guy.

Naturally his social media accounts have been disabled so we're dependent on information being dispensed after interested parties have filtered it, rather than being able to see for ourselves and draw our own conclusions.

Just going on what's not being said, if he were a big NRA guy it would have been headlines by now.

All the antis have out of this is "Ban shotguns," and they know that won't go anywhere.

Term Limits

Mexico goes to the polls this weekend. 132 politicians have been killed since campaigning began, per one count [More]
Just think what it would have been without all those "commonsensegun safety laws"!

I see the "open borders" antis at Grover's pal's propaganda site have dug up the old "guns come from the U.S." lie that was the pretext behind Gunwalker.

Not Up for Debate

There will be participants representing organizations on both sides of the gun rights debate. [More]
I didn't realize the truth was debatable.

The Blind Men and the Elephant

St. Louis mayor, public safety director & clergy to announce plans on reducing crime [More]
This should be good.

Hey, what happened to that "wall of separation"?

We're the Only Ones Reticent Enough

Goodlatte: In closed-door deposition, it was FBI lawyers telling Strzok not to answer questions [More]
Out of the hearts of men like this...

We're the Only Ones Tracking Enough

Investigators said the stalking allegations involved Reid allegedly placing a tracking device on his ex-girlfriend's car and then sending her several text messages of places she had traveled. [More]
See? If you or I stalked an ex, there's no way we'd be able to do it as well as a trained professional.

FBI Refusing Appeals on NFA Denials


"So basically, the FBI is denying you based on its database, and then wholesale refuses to allow you to appeal." [More]
Again and again those of us who simply want to exercise rights supposedly protected by the Constitution find the biggest perpetrators of infringements are its “guardians.”

Rathouse


Nevada legal brothel owner and HBO "Cathouse" star Dennis Hof, who won a GOP primary to run for the Nevada state Assembly earlier this month, was accused in a newly released police report of raping a sex worker at his brothel in 2005. [More]
I guess that explains his affinity for enabler Hillary.

Mad Maxine: Fury Road

The California Democrat canceled two scheduled appearances in Alabama and Texas this weekend after saying she got threatening messages and "hostile mail" at her office, including "one very serious death threat" on Monday from an individual in Texas. [More]
Having seen time and again sentiment ("I hope") characterized as a threat ("I will"), I'll withhold judgment until after an arrest and plea, or trial and conviction.

That said, I note no constituents wondering what the hell she's doing in Alabamaa nd Texas when there are plenty of issues in the home district that need 24-7 dedication.

Let's Get Physical

Michael Moore: We Have to ‘Put Our Bodies on the Line’ to Stop Trump [More]
This is the stage where fights break out. Sensing that threatened "blue wave"  posturing devised to unnerve hasn't worked, Team Marx desperately needs an "incident" to sway public opinion to its side, in this case a reaction where protestor deaths can be blamed on Trump -- or just plain urban riots to spook the herd into demanding "change."

That said, his on the right line would help tremendously with the wall.
