Word Help

I'm writing an article about the Swiss referendum and Word highlighted and suggested the following "correction":

How do you tell a program to go f*** itself?

The Pill Went Off

JPMorgan is cutting off OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma - JPMorgan's decision underscores a drive among banks to reassess their relationships with clients and industries in response to controversy and political debates over matters such as immigration detention and mass shootings. [More]

So can Purdue Pharma, in turn, require as a condition of sale that no prescriptions for their products may be written for any employee or stockholder of JPMorgan?

A Matter of Priorities

The Vatican would deny a papal blessing to Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini because of his strong policies on illegal immigration... [More]

Curious. He had no problem blessing the family photo of abortion champion Nancy...

And good on Cardinal Burke.

Just Like One of Us

What a pal:

There's even a word for it.

I sure wish celebrity-impressed gun owners would stop equating proficiency with principle.  If that was all it took, they'd have no better friend than Lon Horiuchi.

National Popular Vote Interstate Compact a Sure Path to Tyranny

If a “popular vote” replacement of the Electoral system is allowed to stand, you can kiss “legal” recognition of the right to keep and bear arms goodbye, as well as anything meaningful ever happening to stop the ongoing invasion of “pathway to citizenship”-bound foreign nationals into this country. [More]

Ask anyone who attempts to argue otherwise who would be president right now.

The Devil's in the Details

Actually, he's in the disarmers. [More]

He Went to Jared

In each case, Kushner sees an opportunity to build political consensus around practical solutions that could garner potent grassroots support over time. That means providing President Donald Trump with an immigration plan he can campaign on next year as both “pro-immigrant” and tough on illegal entrants. [More]

"Legal" like Ilhan?

How are these "pathway to citizenship" foreign nationals and their "birthright citizen" offspring gonna vote, Jared? Got anything at all to validate it won't be overwhelmingly Democrat like experience has shown us?

Convincing a critical mass of the uninformed that only "illegal" works against the interests of "ourselves and our Posterity" has been the greatest lie of the Trump administration.

Well, There's Your Answer

Did the FBI verify the Trump dossier? It’s a question that then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe refused to answer. [More]

Hey, they had the accusations. What more do you want?

We're the Only Ones Harassed Enough

The ACLU of Iowa on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit claiming the Adams County Sheriff's Office violated the free speech rights of a Red Oak man who wrote a profanity-laden Facebook post about a deputy and his actions at an outdoor festival. The sheriff's office charged Jon Goldsmith with third-degree harassment for what they called "threatening" language in the July 2018 post. [More]

That's Entertainment

A convicted felon accidentally shot himself in the genitals last month at an apartment in Cashmere. His problems didn’t stop there ... As doctors and nurses performed surgery at Central Washington Hospital, a balloon containing marijuana slipped out of his anus ... detectives ...  searched the car and found a bag of methamphetamine ... [More]

I kept waiting for the pie fight.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Unfounded' Is

As officers and past presidents of the NRA, we write today to set the record straight. [More]

That's some industrial-grade weasel wording right there.

Here's the money quote:

We are not inclined to further discuss unfounded attacks on our organization, political infighting, or a “weakened” NRA

Tone deaf in their arrogance, aren't they?

I wonder what kind of donations dry-up they're seeing...

Bear Necessities

"Why in the world would I put down the firearm that I’ve used over and over to grab a can of bear spray?" [More]

Everybody remembers how to identify bear scat, right?

Shannon Won't Lose Any Sleep Over This

You see, there are some facts about violence in the United States–the reason typically cited for why we need gun control–that will keep anti-gunners awake at night. [More]

No, they won't. These facts aren't new and have never mattered to their ranks.

Gun-grabbers don't care about the truth and it's not like the useful idiots following them will have any epiphanies.  As for the rest, they're oblivious because that's who they are.

Demand Consistent Punishment!

Mississippi lawmaker punched his wife because she undressed too slowly for sex [More]

I say give him the same treatment they gave Ross Mirkarimi!

We're the Only Ones Giving Back to the Community Enough

It's apparently not the first time the Montebello Police Department has dealt with a police vehicle being stolen with firearms inside. [More]

Was the reward offered last time "No questions asked"?
