Not a Done Deal

Speaker Ryan Confident GOP Will Keep House in Midterms, Emphasizes Focus on Results Not Rhetoric [More]
Yeah, I know, Ryan.

Still, he makes some valid points and articles like this can help encourage those losing nerve over the media-fueled "blue wave" psyops designed to dishearten and discourage.

Now if the damn "moderate Republicans" would just stop dousing belly fires.

Trump is right. It won't be his fault, it will be theirs.

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


[More]
For "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

And for Steve Knight, he's done good things but there's a problem with longterm undermining.

Now How Do We Blame This on NRA?

'Children's bodies are everywhere': NINETEEN people are killed in Crimean school massacre after student walks into canteen and opens fire - as video shows teenagers screaming and fleeing gunshots and bomb blasts -- Vladislav Roslyakov, 18, stalked his college halls with a shotgun, shooting 17 dead and then killing himself [More]
Something must be done!

What? It already has been?

How about something else?

Good thing they're not "developed."

Shotgun, eh?

Yo Fudds: Still want to throw EBRs under the bus and think you'll somehow be spared?

Q&A


Our DMs get answers. [More]

Let's test that out.

We're the Only Ones Juvenicidal Enough

The weapon turned out to be a BB gun. “Do you think I want to shoot an 11-year-old?,” Officer Casuccio asks. [More]
Mr. Benny?

I'd have never survived in today's world.

Why Did They Fire the Cross-Eyed Teacher?

Brawl Involving Up To 200 Students Erupts Outside McDonald’s In Hunting Park [More]
Really?

Don't make me call Inigo again.

There's That Word Again

On Monday, CNN reported that Saudi Arabia was preparing to release a report that would blame Khashoggi's death on a botched interrogation. [More]
How come every time governments get caught causing violent deaths the media trots out the "b" word?

I'm not asking for me, but Inigo is kind of a stickler for these things.

About Time

GOA-Endorsed Congressional Candidates for 2018 Midterms [More]
Plus the scorecards.

Experience hath shewn these to be more reliable than a "staunch supporter of the Second Amendment" assurance from Fairfax.   That said, when I get a free moment, I'll need to see if a certain promise on scoring immigration is being kept.

We're the Only Ones Confusing Enough

The Chief said, “I believe that is clear the Lieutenant made a mistake in his choice of words during the interview.” [More]
Josh loves it when a plan comes together.

Projection Strategy

So they hate, they rage, they scream and shout, bully people and wreck property. Then they accuse us of what they are doing. [More]
And there's no shortage of useful idiots who believe them.

We're the Only Ones Free-Spirited Enough

Senior FBI Official Faces ZERO Prosecution From DOJ For Lying to FBI About Accepting Free Gifts From Member of Media [More]
And no name, naturally.

See, there's you and then there's us.

Why? Has it been attacking them?

Hey, work sets you free, right?

Liberal Professors Launch Campaign to Pack Supreme Court after Kavanaugh Confirmation [More]
You can't do that without "Republican" cooperation...

Flying True


Longtime readers will remember WarOnGuns Correspondent Straightarrow.

His daughter is trying to compile his writings, unfortunately scattered about the web. That's one dedicated act of love, and further speaks to the character of a man who would inspire such devotion.

Most of his observations here were in the form of blog comments, and I just don't know any way to retrieve those without going through a post-by-post search.  If you know a way to get around that, or if you corresponded with him and have anything you can share with her, leave a comment below or use the contact form in the left sidebar to shoot me an email.

Checks and Balances

Sessions vows ’emergency’ Supreme Court battles amid ‘outrageous’ discovery rulings by federal judges [More]
They must not teach separation of powers in "progressive" law schools? Or they do and all have a good laugh?

As an aside, I wonder how many eyeballs Fox News loses by disallowing links from Blogger.

We're Not the 'Only Ones'

Ordinary people who shoot police in legitimate self-defense now have a chance of their actions being recognized as lawful. [More]
If it's "legitimate self-defense," we ought to have more than "a chance."

A Temporary Power Outage

Federal court finds for worker fired by company after keeping gun in vehicle [More]
This whole business of having to consent to a search of your car is another intolerable condition of employment. If a worker commits a workplace infraction there are escalating disiciplinary policies that can be applied based on severity, ranging from verbal and written warnings to suspension and termination,

Searches with probable cause are for criminal investigations.

Ameren relies on public right of way easements to exist. If they really want to pull the property rights card, let's look at everybody's hands.

The same should apply to ISPs and all those search/social media oligopolies. You know, just to be consistent with Barack's "You didn't build that..."

So that would be a moving violation...?
