And Now, the Rest of the Story

My newest book is on Amazon -- Dred Scott: The Inside Story. And it is an inside story. [More]

Go ahead and read the fascinating overview.  Then buy the book.

And tell a friend.

What Did She Know and When Did She Know It?

Chhabria on Monday said plaintiffs could introduce some evidence of Monsanto's alleged attempts to ghostwrite studies and influence the findings of scientists and regulators during the first phase of upcoming trials. He said documents which showed the company taking a position on the science or a study introduced during the first phase were "super relevant." [More]

And who was in charge of corporate influence operations...?

I think knowing if and when she played a part in flacking for this is a legitimate line of inquiry.  Make of it what you will that no one in the DSM shares that sentiment.

Good lawyer choice, too.

Person of Interest

Attkisson said she, her husband and daughter first noticed unusual activity with their electronic devices in 2011, after she did a story on Operation Fast and Furious, a failed sting operation in which federal agents allowed firearms dealers to sell weapons to straw purchasers in an attempt to trace the guns back to Mexican drug cartels. [More]

Just stick with the story, AP. Leave out the color commentary.

Sorry is Right

I must apologize for the growing belief that it is no longer worth defending our press corps. [More]

This dolt is an influential "conservative" journalist and he's just now figuring out the score on the DSM, but he's still not sure?

Lemme know when he's sorry for trying to get Hillary elected.

Speaking of Bullsh*t

What does it tell you about the U.S. Conference of Mayors that there's a place in the room for this celebrity incompetent that doesn't involve bussing tables? [More]

Nothing to See Here - Case Closed

“It wasn’t about MGM, Mandalay Bay or a specific casino or venue,” said Aaron Rouse, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Las Vegas office. “It was all about doing the maximum amount of damage and him obtaining some form of infamy.” [More]

See? I knew there was no reason for an ATF technical examination report, or following up on changing stories and timelines, or worries about FBI trustworthiness, or rumors about Saudis and about insurance policies disallowing terror attacks, and all the other paranoid conspiracy theories being floated.

Thanks for putting it all in perspective and our minds at ease, Agent Rouse!  Can we all turn in those bump stocks and go back to sleep now?

Telling, that Schmooze finds this endearing.

What Have We Learned?

By their own admission, at least 47.42% of these school incidents did not occur at school or at a school-related event. [More]

Leopards don't change their spots, do they?

Don't you just love being forced to pay a bullet fee for shots taken at the Second Amendment?

Wrong Attribution

AmmoLand News has taken them to task in the past for “despicable deception.”  [More]

No, that was Alan Gottlieb in a SAF column mirrored at AmmoLand. They host all kinds of diverse opinions, as the recent NRA "rift" series showed.

I personally am not a defender of NAGR, but what I am a defender of is accurate reporting. And this is not the first time I've taken exception.

Speaking of Collusion...

Former Democrat: Mexican Mafia Paying off Democrats to Keep from Building the Wall [More]

As a caveat, I know nothing about this site or the person making such claims. What I would do if I had such information and wanted it investigated is what Mike and I did when we had scary information that was bigger than us.

That's Some Industrial-Grade Weasel-Wording Right There

“You can be in favor of the Second Amendment and also understand that there is no reason in a civil society that we have assault weapons around communities that can kill babies and police officers,” Kamala Harris says of guns in America.  [More]

Only Ones' guns can't kill babies and police officers...?

So you can be in favor of the Second Amendment and want to ban and confiscate all guns except those of the standing army?

Will that be before or after the forced imprisonment and brainwashing?

Communists lie to gain power. And then they kill.

Boogedy-Boo!

Handguns are more popular in US homes, with deadly consequences for children, study says [More]

Our made-up numbers say so, so you should believe us! And demand laws!

I Know You Are But What Am I?

Washington Post national political correspondent Dave Weigel referred to President Trump's supporters in no uncertain terms as "rubes" during an appearance on a left-wing podcast Monday. [*]

There is a danger, as not knowing who he's up against can induce a provincial fool to attack whereas a wiser man would think better of it. On the flip side, that can work out for his enemies in a Sun Tzu kind'a way.
