Lawsuit Filed against FBI for Denying Las Vegas Shooting FOIA Request


Another reason given by the FBI for denying information was “ongoing ‘law enforcement proceeding,’” Stamboulieh observed. “The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department basically said ‘case closed,’ so, what is … proceeding?” [More]
What “core values” are demonstrated by denying the requested information?

Our Last Best Hope

In a five-page letter addressed to "Miss America Sisters" and obtained by USA TODAY on Friday, Cara Mund, Miss America 2018, calls out Miss America CEO Regina Hopper and chair Gretchen Carlson for having "silenced me, reduced me, marginalized me, and essentially erased me in my role as Miss America in subtle and not-so-subtle ways on a daily basis."

The Ravages of Kristol Meth


I've been looking at some polling crosstabs and I've got to say to my fellow white men over 55: you are a great disappointment to me.  On the other hand, it seems fitting and consistent with the American story that women, minorities and young people now step up to save the republic. [More]
Speaking of disappontments...

He must be a "staunch defender." After all, "he has championed enforcement of existing federal gun laws..."

"Enforce existing Intolerable Acts," right?

Best Practices

Mass killings, and especially school shootings, are terrifying crimes that seize the nation’s attention. After each, many instinctively ask “why did he do this?” and “what can we do to stop it?” Best-selling author and attorney David T. Hardy here concisely answers these and other questions, based upon careful study of specific cases. He probes the mental states that make mass killers willing to kill (and usually to die), establishes what the killers are after, and outlines what we should do (or not do) to frustrate them. 
Well, I guess we can listen to him or listen to the Junior Gauleiters and all disarm.

Il Douche

Sen. Elizabeth Warren hates capitalism and has never made an effort to hide it. Now she’s taken that hatred a step further and introduced a bill (pdf.) that would literally nationalize all the things. The government must step in and tell CEOs how to run their companies. [More]
And like all "progressive" ideas, it's been done.

So naturally they call those who are against totalitarianism "fascists."

Rather, the motion attacking Royle for doing his job too well, for being too honest and transparent, was a message to the criminal defense bar: reveal the videos that hurt us and we’re coming after you. [More]

About damn time. I'd like to see the feds do that, too, but that would require an AG that's not a compromised puss.

Now watch the banks sue and some activist federal judge side with them.

We're the Only Ones a Driving Force Enough?

The Ethical Society posted a tweet, saying: “We’re told an SLMPD officer intentionality drove her police cruiser at a high rate of speed, stopping, and driving forward to hurt prisoners she was conveying. It’s on video, and at least one person was injured. She needs to be charged with a crime and placed on forced leave now.” [More]
It sounds like she was just trying to shake things up a bit...

A look at "The Ethical Society's" Twitter account also makes it fair to wonder if we've got some Opposite Day "progressive" action -- or worse -- going on.
