We're the Only Ones Disbanding Enough

“That’s what the issue is for us. The municipal budget is not growing as quickly as police officers’ wages have,” De Soto Mayor Rich McCane said. [More]

Well it's not like they've been worth what you've paid them with a Crime Index numberof 14. As for what it will ultimately cost to contract out to the Sher...

...excuse me, I can't concentrate on this with that sidebar headline about the Uranus Fudge Factory and the GM claiming "We pack fudge all day, every day"...

Nothin' subtle there.

Shannon would rather the waitress had been killed than armed -- and preferably with a gun, so that could be exploited.

Trump Pardons Hammonds

Today, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Grants of Clemency (Full Pardons) for Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., and his son, Steven Hammond.  [More]

Happy news. Note the dig at the Obama DoJ:

The previous administration, however, filed an overzealous appeal that resulted in the Hammonds being sentenced to five years in prison.  This was unjust.

The wrong people have been behind bars.

While differences in state laws, decisions to charge and prosecute, and jury variables can be cited, the “supreme Law of the Land” exists “to secure the Blessings of Liberty” for all – at least that’s the theory.

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

I think the leaders of the socialist movement are perfectly well aware that the inevitable result of socialism is tyranny and mass poverty. But for them, this isn’t a bug, it is a feature. In fact, it is the whole point. [More]

Yep. At the core of every "progressive" is a genocidal maniac who will not be disobeyed.

Of No Consequence

Federal prosecutors on Friday moved to drop charges against the last 39 people accused of participating in a violent protest on the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration. [More]

So they're not "prohibited persons" and there's no coordinated demand for them to be? Isn't that what the gun-grabbers call a "loophole"?

The Politics of Personal Destruction

Soon thereafter, the “mainstream” media began circulating an unsubstantiated, 30-year old tabloid story about how Jordan — as an assistant wrestling coach at the Ohio State University — ignored reports that the team’s doctor (who is now conveniently deceased) was molesting student athletes. Jordan denies the claims that he ever knew of any such wrongdoing. But that doesn’t matter. [More]

Most people will conclude smoke means fire and not learn any more. The only way out is to expose the credibility of his accusers to detailed scrutiny and hopefully find evidence of a lie, and #MeToo does not allow for that.

Had Annapolis occurred after they’d achieved their “assault weapons” ban, we’d have been subjected to a post-Parkland like advocate and media frenzy.  In fact, you can bet that they’re counting on post-“assault weapons” ban shootings occurring, to provide them the pretense of expanding the bans to ever-wider classes of firearms.
