Trumpstock Challenge Update


Well, that was fast: Monday for briefs, Mar. 22 for oral arguments... [More]

Republican appointee Karen LeCraft Henderson disagrees.

And Another and Another...

Another ban on modern firearms has been introduced in the Oregon Legislature. You know where this will go. [More]
They won't stop until they are stopped.

Calling All Infidels!

Twitter Legal Warns Michelle Malkin Her ‘Mohammed Cartoon Tweet’ Violates “Pakistan’s Blasphemy Laws” – Which Are Punishable by Prison or Death [More]
"Official correspondence"?

Was the Pakistani government involved in this warning and has there been collusion with Twitter "legal" in what some could view as a conspiracy to deprive an American citizen of rights?

If this can happen to a prominent conservative journalist of national standing, how much more chilling would this be on a citizen without the reach to call attention to being targeted?

Since a foreign government has been implicated, would this not be the province of FBI, State and DOJ to investigate and ensure no violations of U.S. law have occurred -- and to hold persons and governments accountable if there were? Would it hurt to ask?

Or would whoever is doing the "official" chilling want to add another target and platform?

No duh. Now shut up.


When the Truth is No Defense

Prosecutors have called for French far-right leader Marine Le Pen to be tried for tweeting pictures of atrocities committed by the Islamic State group, judicial sources said Friday. [More]
Why did Americans die to "free" these people again...?

What Else are They Going to Do?

California is lost.

And we all know the reason why, but for some reason, no one wants to talk about it.

No Laughing Matter

‘Is this parody?’ SJW princess Brianna Wu’s gun control thread is pure ‘ignorant nonsense’ — and comedy gold [More]
She'll probably win.

Sorry, Only One of Me


I just can't get to all the news tips and also get to the work that feeds me. Thanks for understanding.

Blast from the Past


In fairness, a muzzle-loader is a "weapon of war"... [More]

Rump Spectacle

Well, it appears that Goldberg is doubling down on his #NeverTrump position because the news broke this morning that he is leaving National Review in the coming months to help create a new conservative media company that is "Trump-skeptical." [More]
See, I don't have a problem with being Trump-skeptical. Been there, done that a few times myself. When the emperor wears no clothes it does no one any good to pretend otherwise.

But what these asses are really doing is subverting the agenda that got Trump elected. What you want to do here is follow the money.

Say It Ain't So!

“The Non-Violence Torrent” is an initiative that, according to themselves, aims to disrupt the 3D-printed gun market. They plan to do this by flooding popular file sharing sites with fake gun CAD files and torrents. [More]
Anti-gunners resorting to LIES...?

This is going to take me some time to process.

Excellent Questions

That’s a more than rational attitude for left-wingers to adopt. But how about President Trump? What interest of his is served by retaining a justifiably damaged Labor Secretary who protects left-wing interests and steadfastly refuses to drain the swamp? [More]
Lemme guess: 3D chess?

Capitalists Announce Rope Sale

In an open letter published Monday, CEOs for Dick’s Sporting Goods, Levi Strauss & Co., TOMS and RXR Realty called on Congress to criminalize the private transfer of firearms. [More]
They really don't believe the tumbrils will come for them...?

Horse of a Different Color

New CPAC stars: Black gun rights activists - Despite strong support for gun control in African-American communities, pro-gun conservatives see a chance to make inroads. [More]
If they're really "pro-gun," they need to stop voting Democrat. Not that the imported cheap labor "Republicans" are doing them any favors...

Speaking of Dumb

An advocate of gun buyback programs, Mike Weisser, the author of “Mike The Gun Guy,” which describes itself as a magazine with news and notes from both sides about guns, called the bill “the single dumbest piece of legislation enacted anywhere in the United States.” [More]
To be fair, gunkapo Weisser is somewhat of an expert on dumb gun legislation...

Speaking of 'Home Rule'...

Custer Becomes a 2nd Amendment County [More]
So this isn't what the "progressives" had in mind when they were screaming "SANCTUARY"?

The Wrong Question

Do persons under 21 have any Second Amendment rights? [More]
Well, seeing as how it's settled that "This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence," perhaps we ought to consult with Mr.Pynchon before answering that.

We're the Only Ones Looking Into Enough

Police are looking into whether the men committed a crime by pointing their guns at the alleged thieves in the parking lot. The tools found in their truck were the victim’s, police said. [More]
Because if anybody can do it, why, they'll no longer be the "Only Ones."

That said, I wouldn't have been inclined to handle it this way.

Much Ado about Nothing

...the new background check bill that passed in the House yesterday wound up including an amendment that requires ICE to be notified when an illegal alien attempts to purchase a firearm in the United States. [More]
So that's our big "conservative" consolation prize? Beefing up "gun laws" instead of addressing the real problem?

If this gets enacted -- which it won't for now barring an exploitable event causing more "Republicans" to turn coat -- cue an activist "progressive" federal judge to void that provision as racist in 3...2...1...

A New Application

But just because SPLC says so, can the State of Michigan use it as a substitute for either a definition provided by the legislature or a conclusion as a matter of law? [More]
Well hell, the opinions of subversives are used to enact "commonsense gun safety laws" all the time.

Initially look for outlier cases where most gun owners won't think "This could have been me."

You've Got to Accentuate the Positive

But of course, the real history of the crusades was vastly more complex, involving a transference of knowledge, science and cultural practices between the Christian and Islamic worlds... We need to focus on highlighting events and figures that helped to rid their communities of injustice... We need to celebrate those from all backgrounds, who contributed to creating the institutions that protect and nurture our society... [More]
Sing it, Johnny!

Take the Momo Challenge!

Cortez
According to the statement, students can receive an anonymous message from an imaginary character named Momo, which will lead students through a series of dares or self-harm. The character even threatens harm if the challenges are not completed, according to school officials. [More]
I see this is making the rounds again. And if that doesn't work, there are always Tide Pods and Blue Whales. Me, I was always kind'a partial to Biggie Smalls.

"Young leaders." Is there anything they can't teach us? That's not self-destructive...?

That's not "progressive"...?

My Opinion Matters!


I got as new telescreen so Big Brother could watch me in HD and the damn legs overshot my existing TV stand cabinet edges so I had to get a new one. Local stores didn't look like I'd be able to get anything affordable and timely, so I tried Amazon, where the left hand, oblivious to the right hand, asked me for a review after several revised delivery notices and ultimate failure to deliver the product:


I always figured you can't go wrong with the truth:


Doing that is evidently a standards violation:


I guess they only want good reviews...?

It's the Talk of the Town!
