Through the Hoops

Warriors coach fundraising for gun control Brady PAC [More]
Yeah, tell me this isn't a call for U.S. citizen disarmament. And it's not like searching within is going to make a difference.

Me and everyone I know are going to not watch NBA games even more than we don't watch now.

Man on a Mission

Federal marshals, the FBI and the Secret Service joined the hunt on June 19, a week after he allegedly posted a threat to “put a bullet” in the head of President Donald Trump. [More]
So is it safe to assume he supports the party of "commonsense gun safety laws"?

Men of (Opposite Day 'Progressive') Science

On Monday, angry and frustrated by gun violence, over 2500 medical students and healthcare professionals at Stanford Medical Center, UC San Francisco and over 30 other leading medical centers are holding events to treat firearm violence as a public health crisis. [More]
Because haven't all great medical breakthroughs come about through emotion-fueled mob demands?

A 'Progressive' Self-Portrait

Giffords Group Aims To Flip 10 Pro-Gun Congressional Districts With Statues Depicting 'Gun Violence' [More]
The "progressive"mind embraces helpless childishness as a characteristic to shape and define "adult" convictions. The critique about Clark Kent and the human race from "Kill Bill" comes to mind. 

I'm not clear on where all of these will be placed, but if it's public "property" (a misnomer, but an argument for another time) it would seem a counter display could be required based on the admitted electoral intent.  It might even be argued that political campaign signs, which these are claimed to be, can be prohibited.

Ditto for the one at the Center for Social Justice on the UNLV campus, although it hardly seems like any new opinions will be created there. More likely this is just a publicity stunt by the hired gun ad agency propagandist types the Astroturfers need to rely on.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is, with the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists happy to be amplifiers.

Because Nothing Says 'Take Me Seriously' Like Being a Giant Putz

Code Pink Kavanaugh Protester Dressed as Human Condom at Senate Hearing [More]
That certainly persuades me to treat his considered opinions with all the respect they deserve.

We're the Only Ones Reputed Enough

Wichita officer sues police chief over comments he says wrecked his reputation [More]
There are a couple judgment and character lessons here for men and women that will greatly minimize the chances of experiencing such regrets.

We're the Only Ones Divided Enough

Rift Between Police, Feds Allowed New Mexico Terror Compound To Fester [More]
Where do they think they are, Las Vegas? (Or is that a rift between Feds and Feds?)

Increasing the Chances of Pushback

School bullying is worse in Missouri than most anywhere in the nation, study says [More]
And the biggest bullies can be the teachers and administrators, especially if a child dares deviate from the "progressive" orthodoxy in any way.

Is it any wonder some vulnerable psyches snap?

And That Just About Says It All

“Let’s tear this world apart and build a better one.” [More]
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven...?

Letter to a Useful Idiot

In Venezuela, Jim, we have seized the word socialism, it represents oppression against a people, the destruction of a flourishing nation and the desperation of its citizens. [More]
Oh, but "we're going to do it right this time."

He'll probably believe that right up until the time he discovers the monster he helped create has decided it no longer needs him and it's too late to go into hiding.

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


So the courts need to rule that "pursuit of happiness" and "Blessings of Liberty" are bad, and coercive majority rule over free individual choice is good? [More]

A man with a concealed-weapons permit shot one of three men who tried to rob him at a gas station just outside West Palm Beach, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said. [More]
Uh-oh. Now Lord Krishna's gonna ridicule his manhood.

You Notice Their Name Isn't 'Virtue'

VICE: There Are No 'Good Guys With a Gun' [More]
If that's the case, shouldn't they demand government disarm? Just to be consistent...?

He starts out talking about maybe we can have some sort of reasoned discourse on "serious polarizing stuff," and then trivializes defensive gun ownership as "a man wants to prove his manhood."

In the next video, he conflates gun safety with car seat belts, as if that's the issue.

Ain't no "Maybe I'm wrong" about it. Your Krishna consciousness fails.

There's no point in going on after this unless your purpose is to keep informed on what arguments the gun-grabbers are using to bamboozle anyone ignorant enough to be swayed by this. Just don't think trying to persuade anyone who goes to Vice to be informed will be anything but a waste of your time..

#MarchForOurKnives

David Hogg Won’t Denounce Supporter Who Tried to Stab GOP Congressional Candidate [More]
Well that's 'cause he didn't use a gun.

Glad to see somebody got the screenshot, because the links I posted soon went dark.

Loaded for Bear

FORMER NHL PLAYER CALLED 'DISGUSTING,' RECEIVES DEATH THREATS AFTER POSTING PICTURES OF GRIZZLY BEAR HUNT [More]
There are Fudds that still think they can throw us under the bus and they'll be OK...?

I wonder how many of the animaladjusted would be just as outraged if you dared suggest a right to life for the pre-born.

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

"He was there to kill someone," said Bri Aunna Nance. "He wasn't there to get the money, he was there to kill people and just take people's lives for no reason." [More]
And what did it take to stop him?

Shannon and the Hogglet would have preferred an outcome that supported instead of refuted their narrative.

We're the Only Ones Serial Enough

A US Border Patrol agent arrested in connection with the slayings of four people and the kidnapping of a woman who escaped was described by authorities as a serial killer who hunted for his victims. [More]
Maybe we should put these guys through background checks or something.

We're the Only Ones Unviolating Enough

When Alexander's gun fired into a ceiling -- injuring some Seaside High students with falling ceiling debris -- he did not commit a crime, prosecutors concluded. He also didn't violate any laws when he allowed students to handle his police service weapon and take selfies with it. [More]
Now you go do the exact same things and see if they can't find something to pin you with.

Weapons of War

...the weapon posed distinct advantages over guns and rifles and produced injuries that sometimes required unusual and creative methods of treatment. [More]
And people are allowed to just own these...?

News You Can Wipe With

Newspaper Publishers Association honors Maxine Waters with ‘leadership’ award [More]
"DSM" means exactly what it implies.

Funny, what SPLC doesn't consider a hate group.

$38 Trillion Here, $38 Trillion There


Pretty soon you're talking real money. [Money]

It doesn't matter that this fraud doesn't have a clue. Look at where she's running.

And when she wins by a landslide, it will be portrayed as a national mandate, especially if the much-ballyhooed "blue wave" Republican voter turnout demoralization is allowed to happen.

Captain's Log


Soul Man

"We are in a fight for America's soul," Biden said. [More]
I actually agree with him on this point.

Not satisfied with selling his own, if he can't have yours he wants your children's.

We're the Only Ones Unrelated Enough

Northway's charges are not related to his position with ICE, state police said.  [More]
I dunno -- if he'd sodomize a relative, what makes them think a mere non-familial prisoner incentivized to avoid "law enforcement" would be safe?

Kentucky Woman, if She Gets to Know You


I wonder how Neil Diamond would finish this one? [More]

In fairness, when it comes to defending yourself with bodily discharges,  the "Only Ones"do recommend:
Use your imagination and you can think of others.

A Day to Commemorate

Have a reflective Constitution Day.

Reflect that Google considers the Moon Festival and the First Day of School in Bulgaria more worthy of celebration.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, younger feral son Qusay.
