We're the Only Ones Non-Confrontational Enough
Ungentlemanly
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) says Florida's recount should go on beyond the Sunday deadline if needed, a reversal from 2006 when Schumer slammed Republicans for demanding a recount and argued conceding the election would be the "gentlemanly thing to do." [More]Yes. Inconsistency is a feature, not a bug.

We're the Only Ones Paternal Enough
Son says he shot his father, a former deputy, to protect himself and his mom ... Neighbors say there have been several run-ins involving that retired deputy, and some are not surprised by the violence. [More]I'd be curious to go back through his 30-year career to see if there were occasions when some people looked the other way...
Cognitive Dissonance as Policy
Liberals, please instruct us: When is nationalism good and when is it bad? This is confusing. [More]It's meant to be.
It's intentional that there is no memory. With everything in the now, there is no contradiction, because "then" does not exist.
That's why statues have to go. That's why commisars vanish.

Another Flare-Up
Both bills require Senate approval before heading to Kasich’s desk. But if that happens, Kasich -- a Republican himself -- is likely to veto both measures: he vetoed a previous “heartbeat bill” in 2016, and earlier this year he vowed to block “stand your ground” legislation. [More]I don't believe there is anyone in politics I have more contempt for.

I Can't Wait to Test Mine Out
Soldiers Get Wireless Targeting to Shoot Around Corners, Hit Enemies Instantly - This system, called Rapid Target Acquisition, is slated to arrive in early 2019 [More]So at that point it will be "in common use at the time" by the military and thus, according to the clear intent of the Founders, available to "the whole people"?
No?

The Final Stretch
Received via email:
If she's so "pro-gun," how come GOA didn't rate her? And how come all Numbers USA has on her is she's OK with defunding sanctuary cities, but not a word on the most important gun owner concerns?
And you have to wonder if she's so damn tone deaf she doesn't grok why "joking" about public hanging in Mississippi might not play well with the masses, particularly when running against a black man...
If she loses, and she damn well may based on her own statements, actions and lack thereof, watch Swamp Republicans join with all the other domestic enemies to blame Trumpism.

How about everybody involved in the frame-up be held accountable as individuals? If that means a lifetime of forced labor until the debt is paid in full, maybe it'll make some of the other corrupt authoritarian bastards think twice.

A 'Poor Excuse' for Public Safety
NJ Bail Reform Strikes Again: Judge Frees Fair Lawn Woman Accused Of Shooting Man In Face ...New Jersey's Bail Reform & Speedy Trial Act was designed to ensure that poor defendants charged with minor crimes don't stay locked up while large-scale drug dealers pay whatever amount of bail is necessary to free themselves. [More]How very "progressively" egalitarian!
Relax. It's simply a matter of priorities.

We're the Only Ones Immune Enough
Lawrence police officer who shot man asks judge to dismiss criminal charge [More]I can see where the guy snapped and resisted being officially assaulted, but you just can't -- not if you expect to live to fight another day at the time and place of your choosing. In this case, "Safety first!" means wear that seatbelt or we'll shoot you -- either intentionally or through stunning incompetence, none of which we should be held accountable for, because it's the law!

Grasping at Straws
The family of a woman shot to death in a 2014 Overland Park hate crime has settled a lawsuit against Walmart over the sale of a shotgun used in the crime. [More]So what about PLCAA? How was the clerk supposed to know a "straw purchase" was going down?
The suit alleges that Miller “initiated” the purchase, but then claimed he did not have any identification, and offered to have Reidle purchase the weapon, which he did.If true, that's exceptionally stupid noting the environment gun dealers work in. If it's not true, then corporate lawyers just signaled circling jackals that bites are rewarded with flesh.

Mark my words: red flag gun laws, which allow the police to remove guns from people suspected of being threats, will only add to the government’s power. [More]Yep.
