Back to Basics


Basics of Resistance, that is. [More]

T.L. Davis shares some thoughts.

The Front Hole Monologues

New safe sex guide says medical term ‘vagina’ could trigger trans people, replaces with ‘front hole’ [More]
Yes, "frunts" seems more than appropriate.

I'm still waiting for a special government contracts consideration claim to be made.

Giffords’ Veterans Tour a Chance to Challenge Participants on Their Oaths


Just because someone served, or in their cases, enjoyed rewarding careers where they have made even more lucrative connections, doesn’t mean they either understood their oath or meant it when they swore to it. The Veterans Coalition elites clearly would issue orders to disarm the American people, and it looks like the Veterans Tour opportunists would gladly carry those orders out. [More]
Standing army elites wants the militia to disarm. Whatever shall we do?

An Incomplete Purge

Meanwhile — as of this writing — Amazon is still selling... [More]
Here's something more in line with Team Bezos values, as they would still be selling it but for an uproar they decided it would be best not to ignore.

It's a Big Club and They Ain't In It

Two Aurora police officers have been suspended for their role in prematurely leaking body camera footage of Denver Mayor Michael's Hancock's son using a gay slur and threatening an officer. [More]
So they get punished and all sonny-boy has to do is mumble something insincere about being sorry and then go back to being an over-privileged elitist thug?

According to Plan

Internet platforms and anti-gun bias ... It is as if these companies now have a playbook. [More]
In anti-trust law, they call that "collusion" and "restraint of trade."

And funny, how when it's to their advantage "progressives" pull out the "digital town hall" argument. Like what they're doing isn't intended to influence public perceptions, voting patterns and the law.

Note the cited article comes from Gun Rodeo. It looks like they're not only a place where you can hook up to buy or sell, but they also offer a variety of other services including for websites, a gun shop locator, information, giveaways, and all kinds of stuff. It looks like a good resource.

That said, I just found out about these people and haven't had a chance to give their site more than a cursory once-over -- so if you want to know more about them go on over and see for yourself. If you do, let us know what you think in comments, below.

No Explanation Needed

Neither study was a controlled experiment designed to prove what specific factors might be influencing declines in health or life expectancy in the U.S. and other countries. [More]
Otherwise, people might be inclined to look deeper than some lost soul OD'd and Grannie got the flu.

We Demand You Kill Yourself!

Youth activists in Massachusetts are telling the gun manufacturer to stop making military-style rifles and to fund gun violence research. [More]
Or what? They're not gonna be customers?

Risky Business

Douglas Haig indicted for illegally manufacturing ammunition without license [More]
If you're going to do things out in the open you need to follow the rules. We've seen time and again people we might not think are doing anything wrong getting into a world of hurt, especially with agencies looking for scapegoats to redirect scrutiny.

That Girl

MSNBC Guest Dismisses Mollie Tibbetts as Some ‘Girl in Iowa’ ‘Fox News Is Talking About’ [More]
I take it by his silence Kristol Meth agreed.

I wonder what Greer would say if a Fox News guest dismissed Michael Brown as some "boy in Missouri" MSNBC is talking about?

UPDATE - Besides, Elizabeth Warren cautions we must not let this make us lose sight about the plight of the invaders.

Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse


Especially if you're a "professional." [More

Still, why should we expect any better from the lower levels than we do from the top tiers of all three branches?

Use of Force

A teaching assistant at the University of Utah tried to create a “Second Amendment zone” in a classroom, forcing students who legally carry to stand in a tiny, taped-off area with no desk during class. [More]
"Forcing"?

First of all, how did he know? And no one refused and took the seat of his choice? No one made a deal of it then and there, dared him to enforce it and put in an immediate call to the administration ... in front of the class and on speakerphone?

And what's the douchebag's name?

Close Enough for Government Work

Rivera provided a state-issued government ID and social security number when applying for employment. The information is required to file a Form I-9, which verifies the identity and employment eligibility of a person in the U.S. [More]
Rigorous...

[Via Mack H]

UPDATE -- Good commentary here:
Mollie Tibbetts was killed so that somebody in Iowa could have cheap labor, and she was killed so that the Business Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the rest of the Washington – Wall Street – Silicon Valley Axis could hit this quarter’s earnings target, and most shamefully, she was killed so that virtue signaling liberal politicians could get reelected and because their bootlickers in the media and their urban elite supporters in the gated communities and the security-doored co-ops and condos feel superior to her, and the other victims like her, and don’t think their lives are worth protecting.

A Continuation of the Original Rebellion

Socialism as a hate crime [More]
I'd say "hate" isn't a strong enough word.

The Enemy Within

Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., is putting his weight behind an amendment being pushed by the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee that seeks to prevent President Trump from revoking security clearances in political retribution. [More]
Funny -- he wasn't calling for that back when Obama was doing it.

Hedging His Bets

Lindsey Graham: ‘Too early to tell’ whether Trump could be impeached [More]

But Swamp Fox here is doing what he can to bring that about without blowback to himself.  I'll bet he's already got an inner circle-tested statement drafted.

Java Jive

"I swung by today to say hi one last time and kid around with friends like old times”... [More]
So, what are you guys gonna do now that you have plenty of time on your hands?

That's quite some Opposite Day "progressive" living wage! I see Marxist influence on the economy is having its predictable effect.

The pathetic thing is, most of them probably don't get it and greeted her supportively. I'd bet not one dressed her down.

She's been taking a lot of hits in the media, including by Old Guard Dems not ready to hand over the reins (they'll be clutching them in their cold, dead hands).

Look at where she's running. Who thinks this guy stands a snowball's chance? Unless she does something that makes a continued public presence impossible, she's gonna win big time, and that'll be all the signal the impatient "youthful" upstarts need to step up the internecine attacks.

We're the Only Ones Jaw-Dropping Enough Redux

Officer Adam Feaman is accused of beating a man with a flashlight, and breaking the man’s jaw when that man confronted the officer about towing his car. [More]
One more and we'll have ourselves a spate.

We're the Fauxnly Ones Lovestruck / We're the Only Ones Gullible Enough

Woman posed as out-of-state deputy to help boyfriend escape jail, officials say [More]
And the dopes fell for it.

Meaning if "trained professionals" can't tell the difference, how can you be expected to? Be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files on the off chance you might need to ask that question to legally defend yourself some day.

The Best Argument for a Blue Wave

Why Gabby Giffords Just Endorsed 2 Republicans in New Jersey [More]
Why would any gun owner that believes in the right to keep and bear arms vote for either?  It doesn't matter if the Democrat opponents will be really REALLY bad. If you reward betrayal with support, the message the Republican Party will take away from it is they can get away with it at will.

And talk about a weasel-wording, narrative-parroting poltroon:
“I’m a strong believer in the Second Amendment,” said Mr. Lance. “And those who believe in the Second Amendment, by and large, overwhelmingly favor common sense laws in this regard, and I do not believe the two are mutually exclusive.”
Don't be a guncuck. The enemy within can be the more dangerous. If you're in either of their districts, sit these two out. Reject Leonard Lance and Chris Smith. And tell both your friends and the GOP why.

That is, unless you were planning on obeying terms of surrender...

All in the Family

Son of Osama bin Laden marries daughter of 9/11 hijacker [More]
There's a joke in here somewhere.
