Lawyers for Hawaii Gun Carry Lawsuit File Supreme Court Brief in New York Case


“Mr. Young served his country with honor only to return and be treated as a second-class citizen by Hawaii, and unable to fully exercise his Second Amendment rights.” [More]
If justice is denied here, the court may as well tell us the days of petitioning for redress are over.

There's a Clue in Here Somewhere

The recidivism rates for hospitalized victims of gun violence, they observed, were staggeringly high. “Compared to other hospitalized patients, we found that those individuals who were shot and released from the hospital were 21 times more likely to get shot again,” Rowhani-Rahbar said. [More]
So it's the company they keep and their life choices, and not my guns?

If Wishes Were Fishes

I’m hoping this is satire [More]

There's No Such Thing as a Bad Boy?

And who wouldn't give credence to their primary enablers? You know, the ones who will sue and wail about not needing to when someone ends up having to shoot Precious Little Reptile in self-defense...?

Alma Madre

A pro-immigrant group at Harvard University recently hosted a graduation ceremony for students in the country illegally, an event meant to “highlight the struggles and the ways in which undocumented students persevere on this campus.” [More]
Who needs more proof that the subversion is financed by elite$ with an agenda?

We're the Only Ones Lady-Killer Enough

We're the Only Ones Manhandling Enough

The video shows Watson grab the man by the neck with both hands from behind, forcing the man back onto a bench, then put him in a choke hold and take him to the ground, according to court documents. Watson then shoves the victim down inside a holding cell before slamming the door. [More]
But the other "officers" watching it and doing nothing to intervene are OK?

The Stuff That Reasonable Doubts are Made of

Co’s defense attorney Chris Joseph said the accusations arise from seven inmates who are friends. The lab is under video surveillance, there were always one or two other lab employees present and a guard was stationed outside the lab and could see inside, Joseph said. “There is nothing that corroborates the inmates’ claims,” Joseph said. “I am confident Dr. Co will be acquitted at trial.”  [More]
So there's more to the story if you take the time to drill down than the #BelieveWomen presumption in its headline and presentation?

Rounding Up Shannon

Monsanto must pay couple $2bn in largest verdict yet over cancer claims [More]
It's not so much that I agree with the multiple verdicts -- I haven't seen the evidence the juries did but I am by nature suspicious of any "science" that supports "progressive" agendas.  What I find curious is that the political left, which crows about such rulings, has been absolutely silent on whatever role Shannon Watts played as "white-privileged" corporate spokesflack.

Why are "progressive" moms deliberately indifferent?

Why are there crickets from fellow travelers over a finding for a victim of color?

This is a chair.  It can hurt. Pick it up and use it.
