Aural Gratification

Mueller report contains claim Russia taped Bill Clinton having phone sex with Monica Lewinsky [More]
Whoever has that tape could make a fortune if they set up a site where they charged people to hear it. I'd want to play it fast so it sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks. And post it to Hillary's Twitter feed.

Court of Contempt

A Massachusetts District Court Judge and Trial Court Officer were indicted today in federal court in Boston on obstruction of justice charges for preventing an ICE Officer from taking custody of an alien defendant. [More]
Democrats, naturally. Throw the book at them. Put them in prison.

I, Terrorist

Trinity College professor tweets ‘whiteness is terrorism,’ refers to Barack and Michelle Obama as ‘white kneegrows’ [More]
And:
At the time, Berger-Sweeney said she supported Williams’ right to express his views, but found his words personally offensive.
Everyone who thinks she'd take that official position had a white professor made comparable comments raise your hand.

A Pound of Cure


Because an ounce of prevention would be racist. [More]

True to His Nature

Nonprofit Pays Bail For Man Who Attacked His Wife, Hours Later He Murders Her [More]
There's a truism about custodians in there somewhere...

My first thought when seeing this:

Don't touch the snake. It bites.

Nice snake...

Ow! It bit me!

Naturally, the Bail Project insists there is no way they could know that snakes bite. That's' quite the Opposite Day "progressive" result they achieved there, no?

A Sporting Proposition

NRA insiders and longtime observers describe an organization at war with itself over a central question: Has it strayed too far from its original mission of gun safety and outdoor shooting sports and become too political? [More]
You tell me, Lisa Marie Pane of the Associated Press. Here are the Purposes and Objectives from page one of the Association Bylaws:


No mention of that, eh? How do you fulfill duty #1 by abdicating political and legal actions?

It's almost like this is a hit piece masquerading as news to advance the meme that gun owners need to be more Fudd-like, just as Republicans must become more "moderate."

Back that turnip truck up so I can climb back on and fall off proper this time.

Carrying on the Tradition

Investigators searched Baltimore City Hall and Mayor Catherine E. Pugh’s homes among other sites Thursday, a highly-visible indication of a federal criminal case over lucrative children’s book deals she cut with businesses connected to the government she has run since 2016. [More]
Baltimore?  Doesn't that make her a Bloomberg mayor?

Who does she think she is? Sheila Dixon?

We're the Only Ones Multitudinous Enough

We found 85,000 cops who’ve been investigated for misconduct. Now you can read their records. [More]
How many barrels of "few bad apples" does that make?

Democrat Hypocrisy on Executive Privilege Recalls Different ‘Gunwalker’ Reaction


Curiously, Nadler, fellow Democrats and most of the DSM contained their outrage and instead provided cover for the Obama administration’s obstruction of justice in the Operation Fast and Furious investigations conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. [More]
If Trump does it, heads must roll! But using executive privilege to cover their own real crimes is just fine and only a conspiracy theorist would object.

Seek, and Ye Shall Find

Germany: Asylum-Seekers Brutally Assault Passersby Out Of ‘Boredom’, Get Away With Light Sentences [More]
I'd say in a sane world that would be grounds for immediate deportation, but in a sane world, they wouldn't be there in the first place.

A Question that Just Occurred to Me


What do you think Pol Pot would have done with "Middlebury administrators"? [More]

Eve of Destruction

H712 would allow police to destroy confiscated or surrendered firearms [More]
Destruction for its own sake...

Laboring Under a Delusion

A woman “claiming to be the Messiah” who threatened to blow up a California church on Easter Sunday while carrying her baby and a gun is a former digital producer for the NBC-TV affiliate in San Diego. [More]
The headline implication is a bit deceptive -- her issue isn't that she's a "liberal," but that she appears to manifest many signs associated with delusional disorder. Such people can retain intelligence and have an answer for everything that turns back on the problem being within those who challenge their beliefs. If you really want to get lost down this rabbit hole, check out her Facebook page and YouTube feed.

More than anything, this is sad. Perhaps there are medications that would need monitoring to ensure prescriptions are followed and perhaps there are not. Some people are broken and cannot be fixed because "we" just don't know how.

In any case, as things stand now she can't be trusted without a custodian.

The Wrong Question

Should Natural Born Citizenship Be a Requirement for All Federal Elected Offices? [More]
This presupposes the flaw is with the Constitution.

History in the Making

Let’s be clear: This is overt political propaganda being scooped into the most capable students’s minds under the guise of education. [More]
Let's be clear: The minds behind this want you gone.

We're the Only Ones Electrifying Enough

According to the Circuit Attorney’s Office, 34-year-old Christopher Childers is facing fourth-degree assault charges for trying to hurt his fellow female police officer with a department-issued taser. [More]
Not only more trustworthy than you and me, but evidently a lot braver, too.

And not to pick nits, but wouldn't it just be "fellow police officer" unless Christopher was a female, too?

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Luring Enough

A New Jersey police officer and a New York City high school teacher are among 16 men who allegedly tried to set up sexual encounters with people they thought were teenage boys and girls. [More]
Sick. He couldn't just demand it at traffic stops like normal "Only Ones"?

[Via bondmen]

We're the Fauxnly Ones Doing the Job Americans Won't Do Enough

Man pretending to be ICE agent allegedly handcuffed California construction workers, demanded ‘court fees’ [More]
As stated before, you never know when you might have to prove you had reason to doubt authenticity...

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Anthropomorphic Enough

Denver Police Department swears in a horse for the first time in history [More]
Nice to see how seriously they and the idiot fawning DSM take the oath.

Apportioning the Blame

To NRA or Not to NRA [More]
If the house of cards collapses, it will be because of top-down rot and also because of the apathy and inaction that allowed the Lairds to run unchecked.

UPDATE: Bear says pull the plug.

As an aside, I wish family matters didn't preclude me going to Indy this weekend.  I'm really curious to see if Wayne and Chris will be challenged when they're trying to read their speeches. I wonder if anyone trying to do so will be shut down and ejected, and who any boos or cheers will be directed at. I also wonder if all the Ack-Mac flacks will be there due to the lawsuit.

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

Concepcion-West is facing a felony charge (includes petit theft and cheating or gross fraud) for failure to pay a $1.25 toll.  [More]
I'll certainly sleep more soundly knowing he's a "prohibited person." How 'bout you?

Young Communists Wanted. Inquire Within.

RECRUITING AND SUPPORTING YOUNG PROGRESSIVES [More]
And their site is registered with a proxy in Toronto, meaning they are "colluding" with foreigners to influence elections in the U.S.? That's not very "transparent."

Oh, look: Usual suspects.

[Via Tristan M]

Much Ado about What, Exactly?

Texas Committee Passes Bill to Decriminalize Firearm “Silencers” and End Support for Federal Enforcement [More]
Meaning they'll still be "illegal."

And good luck with Dennis Bonnen.  Prediction: If he does end up making a show of support it will be because he knows it won't alter reality but he can still exploit it to build back some "pro-gun" creds.

Woke Forest

University hosts no-whites-allowed faculty and staff listening sessions — to promote inclusivity [More]
Can other "private" businesses do that, too, and maybe reverse polarity?

No?

"Progressives."

Opposite Day.

Hmmm... "federal funding." I wonder if that could be impacted...

And nice to see the communist bellyachers are up to 278 Twitter followers.

Yow. Pretty well-heeled commies at that, or at least their parents are.

That Depends

These are the U.S. states most and least dependent on the gun industry [More]
I'm sure they're trying to evoke some kind of conclusion here, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what except to bolster "progressive" wishful thinking that guns are losing popularity. I have to confess I've never really thought of state "dependency" outside of urging manufacturers to tell gun-grabbers to go to hell and good luck arming their "Only Ones."

I'm actually surprised the industry is as vigorous as it is, not just because of all the political and regulatory obstacles it has to navigate, but because guns are such durable and lasting products if properly maintained. Then again, I've never been a "gun person" as much as a "rights person." That's why you don't see product reviews or training tips and the like -- they're not my niche. The "animating contest" for me does not take place at a range.

We're the Only Ones Unidentifiable Enough

With police decals that meld into the cruiser’s white paint job and emergency light bars that are concealed on the inside of the windshield, these police cars — unless you look closely — could be mistaken for just another Ford Taurus on the road, giving impaired drivers a false sense of security. [More]
Or giving unimpaired drivers legitimate justification for suspecting they're about to be victimized by Fauxnly Ones and reacting accordingly.

This "trend" needlessly endangers all parties concerned.
