What's That Smell?

Shifting Stories Cloud Claims of Alleged Hate Crime Attack Targeting 'Empire' Actor Jussie Smollett [More]

Because if it really happened, the only people who would yell "MAGA" would be fellow collectivists trying to make sure blame got placed.

If it really happened.

An Opposite Day 'Progressive' Success

Costly gun buyback event draws critics who say it was poorly organized, waste of money [More]

Because nothing screams"commonsense gun safety" like financially incentivizing people who may not know the first thing about guns to handle and transport them!

And if you're a gangbanger busted for weapons possession on Saturday, tell 'em you were trying to take it to the "No questions asked" buyback and they didn't make instructions adequate and clear.

On the plus side, since they know these things don't work and are only done for publicity, it's nice to see a media outlet not falling for it, potentially reducing the attraction for trying such stunts in the future.

And dang -- if only they hadn't run out of money...

The Funny Thing Is

“The funny thing about it is when I tweeted about it, I realized people on both sides hate him,” Klausner said. “Because I guess Republicans hate him because he’s like, you know, not fascist enough, and then obviously people on our side hate him because he’s just a bad person. [More]

Couldn't happen to a more irritating pain.

The funny thing is, no matter how much "Republicans" betray their base and try to be like Democrats, it will never be enough and they'll still be called Nazis.

The People's Choice

Judge Ernest Ortega released Hernandez on a $10,000 bond and ordered him to wear a GPS ankle monitor. Just two days later, Hernandez was charged with raping a 19-month-old girl who lived in the same house. Judge Ortega released Hernandez again, this time on a $20,000 bond. That same day, Hernandez was accused of raping a 5-year-old girl, next door. [More]

Kids Demand Action [More]

It strikes me that every one of the young school shooters was not constrained by adult authority, which instead was replaced by denial and enabling.

It also strikes me that every one of the useful idiots giving credence to this prattle, regardless of age, is disgustingly childish.

Well then it ought to be a shoo-in, right?

We're the Only Ones Sick and Tired Enough

...and if you're the ones that are out there spreading the rhetoric that police officers are the enemy, well just know that we've all got your number now, we're gonna be keeping track of all y’all and we’re going to make sure that we hold you accountable every time you stir the pot on our police officers.” [Watch]

I can help with that.

Because some of us are sick and tired too, and reject the lie that exposing and criticizing wrongdoing under color of authority is something we dare not do lest we become targets for retaliation.

And we're especially sick and tired of hearing crap like "epidemic of gun violence" used to demand new edicts that won't make a damn bit of difference on the dangers not just "Only Ones," but we all face.

Dang, the article doesn't tell us where we can sign the petition, and if we can leave any personal words of encouragement.
