It'd be a shame if somebody encouraged Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders supporters to complain to the Moms, or better yet, to the FEC...Anybody see anything in there about information being turned over to a third party for political campaign purposes? [More]

Silva] Koshwal faces an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 10 to 25 years for stabbing his former girlfriend Nadine Skow more than 100 times, then removing some of her organs. [More]
But we know for sure it'll be safe to let him out?
I'm asking for the neighbors.

That's What It's All About
Here’s how they plan to tackle violent crime. First, they want new gun laws passed to keep weapons out of the hands of juveniles; second, more money for community mental health patients who don’t necessarily need an emergency room or jail; and third, money for witness protection. [More]In other words, since they already have the first one, they want more money.

Just Part of the Equation
Obama and his Department of Education ignored the real-life experiences of teachers and school administrators who knew that keeping a student who should be expelled or at least suspended from school for extremely outrageous behavior was not a novel concept, but a dangerous one. [More]True, but you can't just kick the can down the road, either.

So Much for Freedom of Association
St. Louis city leaders are considering a proposal that would remove criminal history questions from initial job applications in the private sector. [More]Coming from someone with zero experience working in a for-profit business, but then again, that's not what this is about...

Reparations First, Disarmament Later
She wrote that “guns are an expression of hate,” and encouraged people to put them down to prevent them from being used as an excuse to be killed ... "If extreme gun control comes into play before the Black community changes its relationship to guns, it will give law enforcement free rein to murder any Black person they even think has a gun regardless of behavior.” [More]
But the rest of you, go ahead and disarm.

A Chicago Democrat
Chicago Police have arrested Illinois State Rep. Curtis Tarver II after finding a gun in his car they say he was not licensed to carry. [More]
Clerical errors, you see.
Who does this guy think he is? Richard Mell?
Kind'a makes you wonder if a lawyer/legislator can get tripped up in them, what chance does his average constituent have?
Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Never Attribute to Stupidity that Which is Adequately Explained by Corruption
Does it sound like time to start getting rid of Democrats running the House, hellbent on impeachment even as the country gets engulfed? Republicans would be idiots not to use this evidence of an emerging crisis from our south, before it really gets out of control. [More]
Not idiots. Whores.

Duress Code
I was too livid to express it at the moment, but when I did convey this misunderstanding to the HR rep later, her response was, “That’s not your decision to make.” [More]So anything goes unless it melts snowflakes. Got it.
I'm recalling the instruction on "decluttering" from Robert Townsend's near-forgotten classic, where he talks about eliminating the personnel department. Having spent decades in my past life in heavily regulated corporate environments, I've pretty much seen the trends that led to where we are today before things wholly metastasized. I am so glad I'm out.

We're the Only Ones Straw Purchasing Enough
David A. Jones, who is now a captain and is still overseeing the police department’s Executive Protection Unit, used taxpayer dollars to purchase a Glock 43 9mm-caliber handgun in 2016, and declared under penalty of perjury that the gun would only be used by the department, the documents show. Instead, it was issued to former Chief Financial Officer Jim Beard on the same day it was purchased, a potential violation of federal law. [More]
Leave it to them to add a whole new dimension to "Don't lie for the other guy." I guess that's why they're trained professionals and we're not.

Not Ideologically Pure Enough
John Cusack calls for boycott of MSNBC over its coverage of Bernie Sanders as one commentator claims the 2020 hopeful is 'more dangerous' than Donald Trump [More]I guess the cognitive dissonance of being an overprivileged collectivist with a net worth of $50M must have him deluded into thinking the tumbrils won't come for him when he's no longer useful, the mask for being about "social justice" is no longer needed by the violence monopoly, and a connected functionary decides it's time to set up residence in his mansion.
As an admittedly subjective side note, what a forgettable "actor."

Recognizing the Problem is the Easier Part
Propaganda: The long term psychological effects of our current protocol. [Watch]He recognizes what's at work but seems a little weak on the deadly totalitarian implications of why. His admission of leftists sympathies and conclusion that "Don't worry, be happy/Close your eyes and think of England" are the preferred responses tell me solutions will be better found elsewhere.

Designing Woman
There are far better ways to protect your family than a gun. Get a life insurance policy. [More]I remember this...uh...towering intellect. I referred to her when she was prattling on about men being responsible for 100% of unwanted pregnancies, and that it's too late, we've already lost our guns.

Much Ado about...Posturing
Contrary to the rhetoric being spread in support of these efforts, virtually none of these jurisdictions have passed laws equivalent to even the most modest immigration "sanctuary city" policy. In fact, most of them aren’t passing laws at all. [More]Wake me when my question has been answered.

So Now Metaphors are Libelous?
Justice Samuel Alito penned an eight-page dissent, saying the case “presents questions that go to the very heart of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and freedom of the press: the protection afforded to journalists and others who use harsh language in criticizing opposing advocacy on one of the most important public issues of the day.” [More]He's right and it goes beyond that. Under such "standards," King George could sue the signers of the Declaration.
Hey, what about those who call NRA a "terrorist organization" and SPLC's "Hate Watch" listees...?
