The Proper Solution
The proper solution may lie in creating competitive platforms, or in legislative, regulatory or judicial action. [More]While I don't like the prospect of government action, I don't like even more the prospect of the enemy giving itself a pass on "progressive laws" that already affect others, like those on antitrust and collusion. Especially when the upshot of all this is to influence who will rule and what diktats they can get away with...
It'll be less disruptive than tumbrils in Silicon Valley...
Here's the most compelling argument I've yet seen. This kind'a looks like "hoist on their own petard."
The Obvious Solution
London mayor wants to ban cars in some areas after attack - Sadiq Khan says this would help keep people and buildings safe after car drives into cyclists and pedestrians. [More]Some don't react well.
You know what would help even more?

Beta Testing
South Africa begins seizing white-owned farms [More]Phase 2 to follow...
UPDATE: Et tu, Piers Morgan Paradise?
Out of the Dark
"Assault from the Shadows" comes from Episode 3 of Season 5 After work, a woman parks her car by her apartment complex, but is distracted while chatting on her cell phone as she exits. Unaware, she proves to be an easy target for an assailant lurking in the shadows. [More]I see that all the time.
Dog Day Afternoon
Guess what this is an ad for.
It's pretty indicative of how Wayne and Chris perceive the bulk of the membership, and based on results they haven't been wrong.
You Take the Red Pill—You Stay in Wonderland, and I Show You How Deep the Rabbit Hole Goes
The Theft of the Social Networking Invention - Clear Evidence of Pay-to-Play Public Corruption [More]Interesting. But vetting it will take more time than I've got so I can only present the opportunity for further investigation to you, which ought to be SOP for everything anyway.

Speak of the Devil
Satanic Temple statue unveiled at the Arkansas State Capitol [More]At least it wasn't a statue of a Confederate!
It seems pretty clear whose "side" the "progressives" are on and what we're really up against.
It doesn't matter to them if you believe that. Their "leaders" who would be yours believe it.
Nothing to See Here
Detroit Rep. Bettie Cook Scott on Asian opponent: 'Don't vote for the ching-chong!' [More]What's the big deal? Isn't a "progressive" axiom that blacks can't be racist?
Take a Pass
ESPN Will Not Air National Anthem During 'Monday Night Football' Broadcasts This Season [More]What unprincipled cowards these media people are.
So if you don't see it, the kneeling didn't happen?
Stupid too, in a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal kind'a way. Maybe the players taking a knee and ESPN subscriber should all wrap towels around their heads.
The Boxer Rebellion
Graphic video shows couple struck by car in #JUGGING outside Spring-area check cashing business [More]Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground...
There is no place for these jugheads anywhere but in a cage or in the ground.
Separating Families
Immigration law enforcement officials said Saturday that a man who was arrested as he was taking his pregnant wife to a California hospital is wanted in Mexico on a murder warrant. [More]The important thing is, as far as those screaming loudest about the xenophobic inhumanity if it all, is the kid will be a "birthright citizen."
No Longer a Need for the Mask
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock on Sunday said he would support a ban on semiautomatic weapons — the strongest stance the Democratic governor has taken on gun control as he weighs a possible run for the 2020 presidential election. [More]Their "pro-gun Democrat" senator sucks, too.
I guess enough "progressives" of the pink pussy hat-wearing variety have fled the nests they fouled in California and brought their culturally suicidal impulses with them. That and the preponderance of Fudds marginalizing the minority that gets it don't help.

You Can't Save People from Themselves Redux
A court in Germany has ruled that the recent deportation to Tunisia of a failed asylum seeker — an Islamist suspected of being a bodyguard for the former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden — was unlawful and that, at taxpayer expense, he must be immediately returned to Germany. [More]No sense bothering Tommy Lee again...

And They Say There are No Stupid Questions
Are gun-free zones really safer? [More]I wonder what would happen if you put a "lion-free zone" sign up on the African savanna next to an antelope herd...
Let's base our decision on selective, agenda-driven "data"! And if we can "prove" citizen disarmament is "safer" on campuses, "logic" dictates it must be safer everywhere, in Everytown...

We're the Only Ones Safe Inside Enough
NYPD bans civilians from recording video inside precincts [More]Some would argue with the term, others with the arrogant hypocrisy...

Aim at the Head, Shoulders, Not the Toes, Not the Toes
A North Carolina sheriff’s office says a two children armed themselves, then shot and killed a man who was strangling and assaulting their mother. [More]So one size doesn't fit all?
Who knew?
Shannon, the Hogglet and Borat would all prefer the woman and children had been slaughtered -- preferably with a gun so that its use could be exploited.

We're the Only Ones Controversial Enough
... because Metro wasn’t officially its own police force recognized by the state — it has federal recognition — controversy ensued. [More]Riddle me this: When is an Only One not an Only One?
And when he is, what good is he?

Dreams of Urban Peace
The decision to spend $100,000 to bring the 50th annual Miss Black America pageant to Kansas City one year after the NAACP issued an advisory warning black people about the dangers of traveling in Missouri was a well-intentioned attempt to be inclusive. But the city’s direct answer to the advisory is a short-term fix to long-standing problems. The pomp and pageantry of this weekend’s event won’t resolve the ongoing issues that compelled the civil rights group to issue the travel advisory, the first of its kind in the nation. [More]Dang. How marginalizing! If that doesn't work, what will?
And what would happen if someone applied who identifies as a black woman?

Quoth McRaven Nevermore
Article 88 of the UCMJ criminalizes “contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State.” [More]Go for it.
Then watch "progressives" argue for the "right" of the military to be insubordinate to civilian control. Because if they take things over, they'll need to deploy it to maintain theirs.

Deceitful Above All Things
Asia Argento, the Italian actress who was one of the first to publicly accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, secretly paid off a young male actor accusing her of sexual misconduct in the months after her revelations about the disgraced movie mogul. [More]Now that's funny.
What a culture. What a pit of snakes. I think I'll look to it for political advice.
