Exclusive: The Social Network

These resistant rights advocates who refuse to acknowledge the valuable tool social media can be are hurting themselves (and all of us) in two big ways: First, they’re cutting themselves off from vital intelligence. Second, they‘re allowing their adversaries the unopposed use and mastery of cutting-edge weapons they refuse to even pick up, let alone practice and become skilled with. [More]

Just think of it as advocacy media. Don't use it for trivia, keep personal information out of it, and use the tools at hand until a more effective one is created.

More from the KSU Open Carry Walk

Right to keep and bear arms advocate, woman of color and Ghanian immigrant/proud American Princess Kuevor is confronted by rude and racist citizen disarmament proponent who insults her, chides "Work for the white folks," refers to herself as a "Field N****" and then calls Kuevor a "House N****."

So much for a person of color daring to not embrace a stereotype.

I talked briefly about the walk here. I hope to have an article submitted to Firearms News by tomorrow and will advise when I have a link.

Coordinated Anti-Gun Political Blitz Aims to ‘Scare’ Republicans

Serial compromises and betrayals that demotivate a growing number of constituents ought to be what really scares Republicans. How stupid do some need to be not to realize they can abandon all principles and act like Democrats, and at the end of the day they’ll still be attacked as fascists, Nazis, racists and haters? All they will have done is alienate their base. [More]

Wanna see something REALLY scary? It seems we're heading that way, and political cowardice is a big reason why.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent

46 Oregonians' guns seized in name of safety under new law [More]

What has been established beyond a reasonable doubt and with full due process?

And importantly, if this truly is about public safety, why are they still out?

Lock Up Your Safety or We Begin the Force Continuum

Leaders in this East Bay city will on Tuesday night consider approving an ordinance that would require firearms and certain other weapons to be stored in a locked, secure container when not being handled or carried on one's person. [More]

Which means "always."

Pay Your Money and Take Your Choice

“Nobody is being forced to get rid of a gun,” he said. “People are willingly giving them up, wanting them to be destroyed. It’s completely, 100 percent voluntary.” [More]

Finally, some common ground we can agree on!

He and those "dozens" of fellow useful idiots should be able to do whatever they like with their property as long as it doesn't victimize someone else.

Can the rest of us agreeing to those conditions also get that "100 percent voluntary" guarantee?

Cloaked in Secrecy

Breakthrough in cloaking technology grabs military's attention [More]

Gotta use that budget money up if we want to justify the next round of appropriations.

I'm sure there will be all kinds of applications for this technology, but for some reason this reminds me of nothing so much as Chief of Research Staff  Professor-General Norden.

That and of Charlie.

Revolutionary Developments

Army might have found its new rifle in Colorado Springs garage [More]

Reliance on electronics concerns me, but assuming this works out, will the militia of the whole people be able to choose them, too?

What I found most interesting about this article was a comment:

If you believe Mao and Lenin were actually Left then there's no use trying to alter your reality interface.

War is peace... and "Opposite Day."

The words "liberal" and "progressive" have been hijacked, and "conservative" is a relative term. 

I guess now we can be called "commies" as well as "Nazis" and "fascists."

Dance in Someone Else's Blood

Emily Keyes was killed 12 years ago this week at Platte Canyon High School in Colorado. Her family is demanding an attack ad that mirrors her death be taken off the air immediately. The ad against Congressman Mike Coffman is from a PAC run by Gabby Giffords. [More]

I didn't realize they were being ghouls. I thought they were just being @$$h01es.

We're the Fauxnly Ones Official Enough

A Qualifying Condition

Feras, an illegal alien to begin with -- and a convicted felon, whose asylum request Sweden had rejected -- and who therefore lacked any legal right to stay in the country, was granted that right for the sole reason that he had committed a violent hate crime against Swedish Jews. [More]

And guess who, for the most part, are on board the welcome wagon here.

Bump Schlock

Mississippi Second Amendment attorney Stephen Stamboulieh received copies of the emails and fed some to pro-gun online news sites such as Ammoland.  [More]

Leave it to USA Today to neither link to nor synopsize that piece so its readers would know that "on-scene ATF personnel were not allowed to physically examine the interior of the weapons.”

And point of order: "Reporter" Nick Penzenstadler writes "The focus was Slide Fire, a plastic add-on known as a 'bump stock' that allowed Stephen Paddock to run through more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition in 10 minutes."

If he has evidence or an attributable statement from someone in the know that "affixed" stocks were even used, he'd have an exclusive.

Mother of two punches Lindsay Lohan over 'child abduction' bid [More]

Keep it up and more and more "progressive" celebrities may come to the realization that physical consequences from the world they're helping shape can apply to them.

Think of it as a Salish epiphany.

Of All the Reasons

The Superior Court judge said the law violates the rights of charter cities. [More]

I guess it is any chair in a bar fight, but good grief...

In the Grand Vichy Tradition

'Radical vegans' strike fear into the hearts of French butchers [More]

Anybody else notice those doing the striking don't seem to be targeting any halal shops?

The money was to blame. And drugs. And...

Reminds me of another excuse...

Funny. When It Comes to YOUR Money, They're Generous as Hell.

The group of municipalities—which includes Westchester County—will file public comments with the IRS and is considering a lawsuit, according to Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, a Democrat who lives in Scarsdale. [More]

What? White-privileged "progressives" don't want to pay their "fair share"?

Who do they think they are? Willie Nelson?

Well shoot -- they could make the same claim about Kirsten Gillibrand and Tim Walz and Anitere Flores and Rick Scott and  (I could do this all day)...

Or make that night.

Close Enough for Government Work

At one point he asked if “ambushes” and “assassinations” would be more effective in southern states. [More]

With Flying Colours

For the first time in 237 years, the Colours of the Queen's Rangers photographed for public display. [More]

Jeff John has an exclusive in words and pictures about the "the oldest known military colours in North America" and the unit that "never lost a battle during the American Revolution until the surrender at Yorktown."

It's not the first time he has treated us to the exclusive and the near-forgotten.
