In Fourteen-Hundred and Ninety-Two...


Is life better because of his accomplishments? I guess that depends on whether or not you are a "progressive" ingrate or not.

Figures the Google Doodle for today commemorates Teacher's Day in Poland.

It's a cinch our "educators" won't share this with their victi...uh, "students."

The Rights-Hangin' Judge

Last week, Senior U.S. District Judge Glen E. Conrad ruled that the plaintiffs’ Second Amendment rights weren’t violated by a 1968 law that makes it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to purchase a handgun. [More]

Divine Rights


As near as my ears can hear:
"He’s got some responsibility, but not all. Right and wrong is wrong,
That was wrong for that clerk to shoot my brother in the chest, yes, he's robbin' [unintelligible], oh well, call police, that's not s'posed to, they're not s'posed to take matters into their own hands. If that's the case, I [unintelligible] take matters into my own hands..."
Ah, that sense of entitlement.

And if the police had shot him, she'd be calling for what, exactly?

It's Not Like It's Happening in America or Anything...

California enacts most radical gun seizure, gun control law yet — even the ACLU is speaking out [More]
I'm losing my capacity to give a f***. I can't help but feel that ultimately, they're gonna learn the hard way.

Seems Right to Me

In essence, Cheeseman’s new argument means if Cheeseman qualifies for a 2C:58-3 Firearms ID Card, then Cheeseman qualifies for a 2C:58-4 Permit to Carry a Hand Gun. [More]
And if he doesn't qualify, what's he doing out of custodial care?

'If You See Something Say Something'

Nichols said the waitress made a complaint to Tisbury Police about what she overheard and on the strength of that, Saloio and another officer relieved Nichols of his crossing guard duties while he was in the midst of performing them and subsequently drove to his home and took away his firearms license and guns.  [More]
The fear/snitch conditioning is damn near complete, although the waitress is lucky she didn't pull that on the wrong demographic.

We're the Only Ones Dispatching Enough

A black woman was shot and killed by a white police officer in her Fort Worth, Texas home after a neighbor called dispatchers to report the woman’s front door was open, police said. [More]
Are police background checks "commonsense" enough for ya, Betsy?

Nous Sommes les Seuls Assez Radicaux

Two Muslim Paris police officers have had their weapons taken away from them, with one suspended from duty, after allegations that the pair may have been radicalised. [More]
Good call. We know how effective trusting French gun laws in such situations has proven to be.

We're the Only Ones Stifling Enough

Back in July of 2017, the Carroll Times Herald published an article about police officer Jacob Smith and his relationships with teenage girls. Smith, who is no longer on the police department, filed a libel lawsuit. [More]

Heresy!

Many of the kids that unfortunately were violently killed were teenagers engaging in criminal behaviors themselves. And so out of the 13, about eight were engaged in criminal behaviors that resulted in their deaths.  [More]
Just think how much more furious they'd be if he'd given appropriate "credit" to their familial enablers and the "progressive" system that made them inevitable.

Resident Evil

But, according to SAF, the state essentially bans nonresidents from its program. And without a review by the Supreme Court, "virtually all Americans will be deprived of their full Second Amendment rights while in the state of Illinois, based on nothing more than their state of residence." [More]
What the Bill of Locality-Sanctioned Privileges have to say about this?

I'm Not a Climate Scientist But I Play One on TV

Wearing white laboratory coats to symbolize their research credentials... [More]
So the "qualifications" are symbolic. Just like gunquacks are presumed competent with theirs, or "Only Ones" with their magic uniforms and badges...

Curious how their spokesflack has no credentials in the field she's representing. Although I do see some acting credits.

Well who'da thunk: They're fronting for the environmentalcases.

Broken Clock Gets Time Right


In one tweet, crazy-@$$ Rose McGown just did more damage to Hillary's political ambitions than the entire Republican party has been able to in decades, and doesn't that say something about the "system." [More]

I'd be looking over my shoulder if I were her.

“Do you think religious institutions like colleges, churches, charities — should they lose their tax-exempt status if they oppose same-sex marriage?”
“Yes,” O’Rourke said without hesitation, drawing applause from the Los Angeles audience. [More]
They've all cleared that with the mosques, right?

About That 'Trump' Video


All I'm seeing is PSH indignation--anybody know where I can see the actual video instead of politically-motivated "outrage"?

I don't know who thought this would be a good idea, but I don't know how anyone can reasonably blame those who had nothing to do with it, or those who were at the event and had it sprung on them by surprise. Of course, "reasonably" has nothing to do with it and it's being spun as representative of the president and those who support his agenda. He and we are to blame.

UPDATE: Link courtesy of Greg in "Comments."  Yeah, absolutely stupid judgment to not foresee the blowback, but then again, I'm wondering why the fantasizing "progressives" who made the original get a pass.
