So Much for 'Commonsense Gun Safety Laws'
Former Prime Minister found GUILTY of genocide four decades after two million killed [More]But...but...but they had "Licenses for guns, owners, ammunition & transactions, Photo ID with fingerprints, License inspected quarterly" and everything...

And if hunters are going to defend themselves in the theater of political ideas, then they will have to begin by developing the moral confidence to say plainly and directly — even on Twitter — that they have no reason to apologize for what they do or for who they are. In that, they are not alone. [More]They might garner more support if the loudmouth Fudds among them weren't so quick to throw those of us who own guns for a different reason under the bus.

Who Says We Can't Learn Anything from Other Cultures?
Tonight In Tijuana: Mexican Nationalists Rally Against Illegal Alien Caravan. What About American Nationalists, President Trump? [More]They'd be called "vigilantes" and subject to enforcement measures the feds would not dare use against the invaders. Nor would they just be released to disappear into society with no repercussions.
And it's for damn sure the Democrats wouldn't be demanding asylum from government persecution for them.
We're NOT the Only Ones
The police chief of Republic, a tiny town in northeastern Washington, doesn’t think much of I-1639, the strict gun law state voters approved Nov. 6. Loren Culp won’t enforce it, and wants the City Council to pass an ordinance making Republic a “sanctuary city” against such laws. [More]Wait a sec -- doesn't honoring your oath to the Constitution and refusing to obey unlawful orders get you on SPLC's "anti-government extremist/Hate Watch" list?

Free Up to What Point?
“FIRE is pleased that Rutgers did the right thing and reversed the charge of racial discrimination against Professor Livingston,” said Marieke Tuthill Beck-Coon, FIRE’s director of litigation. “Any other result would have undermined the free speech and academic freedom rights of all Rutgers faculty members.” [More]Would Rutgers had ruled the same had this self-loathing head case said he hates blacks and that he wanted to keep them out of his neighborhood?
Then there's the small matter of whose culture codified a right to free speech...
Memphis Belle
“Tennessee is racist, period. Period ... most of the people in Tennessee who voted Republican are uneducated.” [More]Because "white men ... don’t believe in sharing their wealth."
So if you're not a communist, you're a bigot.
This beneficiary of a racist constituency is doing pretty well for a victim of discrimination. I do agree with her that "allowing felons to vote will help elect more Democrats."
Q.E.D.

Ruse of the Fisherman
Pope decries that ‘wealthy few’ feast on what belongs to all [More]You know, to each according to his need...?
So naturally, along with board comes room. Except we're not egalitarian about everything, like power-sharing. Especially as that relates to our Swiss Guards and our Far Eastern franchise.
And pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Or the head above the altar.
