Tolerating Republican Betrayals on Guns Only Encourages More Turncoats

If there’s no cost to pay for betrayal what can’t they get away with, especially with so-called “pragmatic” apologists offering lesser-of-two-evil excuses to rationalize being cuckolds? If that sounds harsh, face it — that's exactly what a gun owner who “forgives” an unrepentant cheater is setting himself up to be. [More]

I note some in comments interpret this to mean I'm saying vote for Democrats. They're either reading-challenged or GOP  über alles Koolaid drinkers deliberately misrepresenting what I wrote.  I'm saying don't vote for gun-grabbers. If that means a "Republican" loses, maybe the party will think better next time. Sorry if that's controversial to some. Not.

Fakedown Notice?

The Attorney General's Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) has concluded that a key document supporting Plaintiff's TRO application—a "takedown notice" purportedly sent by DCJ to CloudFlare, Inc., which hosts one of the plaintiff's websites, CodeIsFreeSpeech.com—was not in fact issued by DCJ, and appears to have been issued by some entity impersonating the Attorney General's Office.  [More]

Looks like a lot of us were snookered, but in fairness, it was totally in character.

Just like these worm-tongued subversives want to be done with guns.

Pelosi warns GOP: Next president could declare national emergency on guns [More]

Yep.

Or simply issue revised "rules."

Perilous times...

The Return of Fightin' Joe

Joe Morrissey is famous or infamous for a number of things including losing his law license, twice. The first time he lost his license was after assaulting and almost killing another man. [More]

No wonder he doesn't want people armed...

The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!

The relationship between the NRA and Russians close to the Kremlin is a subject of intense interest on Capitol Hill as well. [More]

Only to gun-grabbers interested in perpetuating a nebulous smear job. The only significant verifiable takeaway from this is:

A spokesperson for Brownell, who runs a guns-and-ammo retail business, said he checked with the State Department before traveling to Russia.

The intent here is to create and spread the meme that NRA illegally joined with Donald Trump to collude with the Russians and steal the election.

Gee, where have we heard that before...?

The Undertakers of Freedom

Will diversity be the death of the Democrats? [More]

More. Harder. Faster.

Horrify the normals.

And there's this for the Cato "legal immigration" crowd:

"In presidential elections, Democrats win 70 percent of Hispanics, Jews and Asian-Americans, and 90 percent of African-Americans."

Exactly. 

Not that the prags have the courage and the intellectual honesty to address it.

Brawley... Paging Tawana Brawley

Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of "Empire." [More]

Don't think of it as a hate crime hoax.  Think of it as bold performance art necessary to focus public attention on the urgent crisis of hateful, racist and homophobic "conservative" white men.

I'd say "Bravo, Mr. Smollett," except I don't want the honorific to be misinterpreted as a microaggression.

Every Breath You Take, Every Move You Make

The company's information security team is capable of tracking these individuals' whereabouts using the location data they provide through Facebook's apps and websites. [More]

A "veiled" and non-specific "threat" is enough to trigger this "legal" invasion of privacy-- even on FORMER users?

This directly affects the public, yet there is no public accountability?

This sounds like something that ought to be reported to House Oversight.

Hold on a sec...

[More]

There. Now at least Old Bloody Hands can't say he hasn't been told.

Why is it I look at that picture of Zuckerborg and hear Robert Shaw saying "Like a doll's eyes"...?

A disturbing video released by Long Island cops on Thursday shows the moment a man savagely attacked a woman with a baseball bat. [More]

He must still be out there because this apparently happened in November and they're just getting around to reporting it now...
