Desperate for Attention
Help a guy out? [More]
And God help me, I find myself agreeing with Howard Stern up to the point where he wants to see it, and then I have to take my leave.
The War on Children
A resolution to urge food establishments and franchisees to stop gender classification of kid's meal toys. [More]You've gotta wonder what kind of morons would elect this Leslie Love creature, and if that may explain why solving their more pressing issues remains elusive. That is the kind of tyranny of the majority idiocracy those tearing at the electoral system would impose on us all.
We're the Only Ones Coincidental Enough
Limbaugh has been with Aurora police since June 2015. Police said he also killed a suspect in a shooting in June. He returned to work 18 days after the incident and was also cleared in that shooting. [More]So let's see, once is happenstance...

Release the Kraken!
Schizophrenic teenager who shot dead his parents and three siblings in their New Mexico home in 2013 massacre could be released from prison in days [More]Well yeah, who doesn't feel sorry for orphans?
And as "our" time-based sentencing system proves, laws are meant to be broken.
Hey, maybe he can go on a shooting spree and we can finally ban "assault weapons"!

Another 'Gun Law' Failure
Video shows masked thieves swiping 17 guns from Buckingham County store [More]Here's the owner's side.
If I were a detective, I'd be looking at earlier surveillance videos to try and find likely matches -- that is, assuming they don't overwrite them every 48 hours or so...
If I were a "progressive," I'd be blaming the rape victim, and the fact that guns exist to tempt and be stolen, which brings us back full circle to blaming rape victims...

Tenured Domestic Enemies
Rutgers Profs Outraged After Illegal Arrested for DUI, 'Reckless Endangerment' [More]I've seen the unbearable anguish these g*****n f*****g a******s would enable, and confess I am not above wishing such agony on each and every one of them.

Fantastic Beasts
There’s No Such Thing As A Conservative ‘Blue Dog’ Democrat [More]Or a "pro-gun"one...

We're the Only Ones UnBrowardly Enough
South Florida QAnon Cop Gets Demoted From SWAT Team [More]Besides, what they really need are more officers whose first response is to get themselves to safety and hunker down until men show up.
Anybody else find the New Times description of QAnon more than a little bit unprovenly dismissive and "progressively" self-serving...?

Hoist on Their Own Petard
SCOTUS Declines to Hear Environmental Challenge Blocking Construction of Border Wall - A law signed by President Clinton allows the executive branch to bypass environmental laws for construction of barriers near the border [More]I don't suppose considering environmental impacts of open borders and the resulting increased demands on power consumption, transportation, infrastructure, waste disposal and the like factors into anything these hypocritical Opposite Day "progressive" environmentalcases concern themselves with...
Now there's would be a lawsuit there would be no "bypass" for...

It Ain't the Meat, It's the Motion
“Meat Interrupts Your Sex Life!” [More]It helps to have this playing while you read...
Why does South Park once more come to mind?

Opportunity Knocks
Firearm Friendly Merchant Processing Made Affordable with Gearfire Payments [More]Good. Because too may are banking on disarmament.

Diving In with Both Feet
Florida’s newly elected agriculture commissioner is vowing to conduct a “deep dive” into the state’s concealed weapons permit program once she is sworn into office. [More]And what, pray tell, will she be swearing to?
This is what happens when an unalienable right is treated like a state-bestowed privilege. All you need is a change in parties and the hidden trap becomes not just evident, but inescapable for those duped by the "enforce existing gun laws" fraud.
Fairfax would be more accurate to say "Enforce existing Intolerable Acts," but that would be a tougher sell.

'Twas the 'Fight' Before Christmas
Congress plans to delay shutdown deadline, border wall fight until the Friday before Christmas [More]What "fight"? You mean against "traditional" Americans?
Ryan has to keep dragging his feet until he can hand the gavel over to Pelosi and make sure the "bipartisan" swampus quo will remain intact.
Steve Puts the 'Dick' in 'Dickerson'
I am a gun owner and a Republican. I believe a 'red flag' law for Tennessee will curb gun violence and protect the 2nd Amendment. [More]Liar.
So what incentive do Republicans have to change if gun owners keep electing "lesser of two evils" specimens like this? I submit the enemy inside the gates is the greater evil anyway.
We are Controlling Transmission
Tim Cook: Hateful views 'have no place' on tech platforms [More]They're also controlling what gets categorized as "hate."
I've seen (and made myself) observations about subjecting "progressives" to the same antitrust restrictions they would impose on the rest of us, about exemptins from "public utilities" rules they enjoy, about how phone companies don't impose their politics on the conversations they route, etc., and yet see no movement from the legislature to address the discrimination with even less chance anything will happen come January.
So what to do? I haven't heard the following suggested by anyone else:
The poles and cable lines they use to go through neighborhoods are dependent on easements approved by local governments crossing private property via rights-of-way. Could an individual sue, or alternatively, could a "conservative" municipality require the companies to not discriminate against lawful communications before authorizing THEIR unrestricted lawful use? Any potential for class action? Others following suit and a cascading effect...?
Admittedly, this is blue-skying. I elaborated on how the idea could work some years back:
A key component of information delivery is establishing cable franchise agreements with municipalities, such as this representative renewal between Comcast and the City of Pittsburgh. In such agreements, a provider such as Comcast requests “that the City renew [their] franchise to maintain, construct, operate, and upgrade its Cable System over, under and along the aforesaid rights-of-ways for use by the City’s residents."
That’s because “the aforesaid rights-of-way used … are public properties held in trust on behalf of the citizens by the City and the right to use said rights-of-way is a valuable property right [and] the City … has determined that the public interest would be served by renewing Comcast’s franchise.”
Is such blatant censorship of supposedly traditional American rights in the public interest?Cell towers require approvals, too.
Without the carriers, Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter got nothin'. Anybody with the legal credentials want to weigh in on if there is anything at all that can be used from this, or else propose a better way to address the problem?
Democrat Praise for Bush Limits ‘Acceptable’ Republican Policy on Guns and More
And “compromise” Bush did, especially on the Second Amendment. [More]As with everything they say, all those nice words are calculated to advance an agenda.
