Coming Soon to a Location Near You
The Los Angeles subway system will become the first in the U.S. to install body scanners that screen passengers for weapons and explosives, officials said Tuesday. [More]Well hey, if they work there, they should work anywhere. Everywhere. In Everytown.
What have you got to hide?

There's a Batpole Joke in Here Somewhere
According to Deadline, Batwoman was revived in 2006 as a Jewish lesbian—the first lesbian title character in the DC universe. [More]So now atheist "fans" are ...uh... butt hurt because the stage prop chosen to represent her isn't the right religion?
I'm old enough to remember Kathy Kane/Batwoman as introduced and intended:
I'm old enough to remember most of the characters taken over -- first by "progressive" comic book writers and now by media revisionists -- to advance an agenda, one that especially includes indoctrinating children.
And don't worry about cognitive dissonance or anything. No one has a problem -- and indeed they laud it as virtuous -- that Martian Manhunter proudly admits he chooses to go around in blackface. Then again, it's probably no coincidence his planet's genocidal villains are the White Martians.
When 'Progressives' Collide
DNC SILENT AS DEPUTY CHAIR ELLISON BATTLES DOMESTIC ABUSE ALLEGATIONS [More]Of course they are.
They're the party of embracing cultural diversity.
Crimes of Omission
Media ignore Trump’s British support on NATO [More]I missed this when it came out last month.
Watch Gingrich's statement.
Meanwhile, the DSM and their tech oligarch co-conspirators are doing everything they can to close off independent sources bringing information they want suppressed. They really are creating the conditions resulting in the very hostility they're complaining about.

The John Doe Times
My first mention of Mike Vanderboegh on this blog was when I reposted his "You Can't Repeal the Law of Unintended Consequences" as a guest editorial. I began posting more and more of his stuff, but WarOnGuns is my journal and I soon was pressuring him into starting one of his own. He introduced Sipsey Street Irregulars in November 2008.
Before I'd ever heard of Mike he was posting on another effort, an internet newsletter called "The John Doe Times," focused among other things on the Oklahoma City bombing.You can find references to it on SSI, but Malwarebytes blocks his links to Constitution.org. I don't know what causes that (although it wouldn't surprise me to learn some would rather people not read it), but do note putting such links into the Wayback Machine lets me bring up many of them with no warning.
Over the weekend I was approached with another way of accessing Mike's stuff using that resource.
"Yesterday marked 2 years since Mike Vanderboegh passed," correspondent Ken Bliss told me. "I decided to dig into the Wayback archives and bring back to life his online works, as much as I could find, and properly archive them. They can be found at:
Two years. Dang. I guess it's been that long.
"I added everything I could dig up so it doesn’t disappear from history. Its quite a bit and I’m still looking for more," Bliss explained. "I knew Mike for decades (helped him catch John Doe 2, aka Brescia) and missed some of this writing somehow.
"I'm sure I missed stuff some others might have from the early year," he added. I would volunteer to add anything else anyone has that I didn't include."
What a good effort, one deserving of the gratitude of all who got (or will get) value from Mike's work.
To some, this could be an introduction to the man. To others, it could be like getting a new lease on Sispey Street for those who miss regularly going down it.

Night of Broken Glass
Bahr said during both break-ins the suspect did not stay in the store for very long. He said suspects fell over a trip cord, heard an alarm and ran away. Bahr suspects the criminals took off once they realized no firearms were accessible. He wants everyone to know the firearms in his shop are vaulted every night. He says it’s pointless to try and steal them. [More]I'd suggest putting up a sign that says as much, but that assumes the morons can read.

He's Got a Point
Chicago Pastor Blames Crime on Evolution [More]That's not exactly what he said. Without getting into an argument on what's believed vs. what's known, I'll simply point out his contentions are pretty much in agreement with this guy's...

Where There's Smoke...?
Investigative Journalist Found Dead in D.C. Hotel Room Weeks After Reporting Bill Clinton to FBI & DHS for Allegedly Raping Boy [More]I stipulate I know nothing about this and acknowledge there are those who are motivated to say anything. I also realize that there are plenty on "the left" who question True Pundit's reliability. So in the interests of being as fair as possible, here is the pronouncement from a legal authority with the strongest of interests in protecting the accused on how we should respond to such allegations:

DRGO Update
- On July 31, Project Direct Dr. Arthur Przebinda wrote "Can Kaiser Permanente Be Honest in Gun Research?". The question pertains to many organizations, but with so vast a reach throughout our most populous state, it matters a great deal what line KP providers are intended to toe.
- Dr. Gift did a careful reading of “Fatal Firearm Incidents Before and After Australia’s 1996 National Firearms Agreement Banning Semiautomatic Rifles” August 2 from Annals of Internal Medicine. This is another litany of methods commonly used to arrive at the desired conclusions.
Keeping Up Appearances
Ending Birthright Citizenship Will Make Republicans Look Like The Party Of Dred Scott [More]Whereas appeasement and capitulation will do what, exactly? They'll still be attacked as racist fascists.
And the cultural terraforming will gather new steam.
Here's an alternative view.

Another Opportunity to Conflate
The use of the phrase “Stand-Your-Ground” to refer to self-defense immunity is an indication of seriously defective understanding of the law, as well as a considerable contributor (intentionally?) to confusion in the public mind on what “Stand-Your-Ground” actually does (pro-tip, “Stand-Your-Ground” merely waives the legal duty to retreat before using otherwise lawful deadly force in self-defense, and that’s all it does). [More]Yes, it's intentional.

Putting the 'Cult' in 'Cultural Diversity'
Bond was set at $20,000 apiece. [More]So they can be trusted without a custodian?
Are we talking yet another low-hanging fruit / magnified threat for headlines situation here? Or are we talking "progressive" judicial deliberate indifference?

As much as I admire David Codrea, I retain the opinion that he is flat wrong when he worries about immigration. [More]Then answer the challenge. And explain how the welfare state can be reduced if those who buy votes through "wealth redistribution" keep adding Democrats.
