Judgment-Impaired Judy


'Comments Are Turned Off' [Watch]
No wonder. So is the thumbs up/down counter.

Why Not Give Them What They Want?


The Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund submitted 211,093 petition signatures December 10 for a ballot measure mandating reintroduction of gray wolves to Colorado. [More] 

If they want to release them proportionally based on how many signatories live where, I'm not sure I see the problem...

Speaking of Foreign Election Interference


He thus illustrates the reach of politically driven philanthropy and the potential of wealthy foreigners to sidestep U.S. lobbying laws by using complex financial arrangements to pursue both civic and self-interested goals. [More]

Along with Rory Kennedy and Aileen Getty?

How come there never seems to be a Jacobin mob around when you really need one?

When Incompetents Ruled the Earth


(1) ‘Automatic or semi-automatic gun’ means any weapon which shoots or is designed to shoot: (A) Automatically, more than six shots, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger; or (B) Without any action needed to fire consecutive shots, other than having ammunition loaded in such weapon’s feeding device. [More]

From the same state that gave us another politician who was afraid of tipping over Guam...

We're the Only Ones Most Recently Reflecting Enough


According to the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial website, the 37-year-old deputy had stopped a vehicle and was approaching it when she was shot at with a high-power rifle, where one of the rounds passed through her body armor and inflicted a fatal wound. [More]

Forget that her killer was a deported illegal alien, which for some reason didn't make it into the "most recent reflection" by "Retired Police Officer - NYPD" -- we have "Only Ones" talking points to exploit here. If only weapons of war weren't easier to buy than books and vegetables.

Welcome to the Party, Pals


UPRISING: Hundreds Of ‘First Time’ Pro-Gun Activists Flood NRA Town Hall In Virginia [More]

Really? Most of these f***ers look older than I am.

I don't know who I'm madder at, gun-grabbers or geriatric"newcomers." And note how Fairfax has positioned itself for disproportionate leadership credit in this.

California Reality More Ludicrous than Satire


The robber also agreed that when he comes back, he will wait for the man to go get his gun, unlock it, get the separately stored ammo, and load the firearm, "just so that it's a fair fight." [More]
It's only "common sense," right?

The Witch Doctor Cure


Approximately $5 million has been poured into the Cure Violence program, which is set to hit the ground in the spring. [More]

They may as well have poured it into that ground.

It's tough to deem who is more contemptible: The grifting politicos or their useful idiot media amplifiers.

None Dare Call It Treason


Here Are the Republican Governors Who Betrayed Trump, and Their Constituents, by Asking for Refugee Resettlement in Their States [More]

Figures that treacherous @$$hole DeSwine is one of them.

Did Hell Just Freeze Over?


Or did a CBS station just recommend gifting gun range passes...? [More]

McConnell Vulnerability Symptomatic of Entrenched GOP Taking its Base for Granted



The question becomes, what of McConnell’s popularity, and what incentives has he given Bluegrass State gun owners to not just vote for him, but to be enthused about it? [More

Everybody all fired up by the guy...?

More Guns Than You Can Shake a Stick At


New ATF Study: 423 MILLION Guns In Hands Of Americans [More]

The fact that Democrats "think" a mandatory "buyback" is a good idea should tell us all we need to know about their stability and judgment.

A Bit Beyond My Ken

“Gun Friendly” TUSC Cryptocurrency Project Launches [More]
As I've admitted before, the only Krypto I claim any familiarity with is Superboy's dog. I just don't get the whole Bitcoin thing and don't know if it's the blockchain concept or just my mental block. Then again, I don't get video games, either. Or calculus, economics, chemistry and quantum physics...

Perhaps had I been born later, my inability to comprehend would have been diagnosed as ADD. But as is, I can't present myself as competent to weigh in on this. What I can do is call it to the attention of those of you who are, so that you are aware of it and in a position to make your own informed decision.

And the Crowd Went Wild


“No,” Warren said flatly, prompting cheers from the audience. “I don’t think conceal carry makes anyone safer.” [More]

Every one of these fools deserves to be a disposable slave to whoever claims the role of master.

I'll not wear those chains.

God Forbid Any 'Gun Rights Leader' of Note Should Admit This


A report by the Wall Street Journal details how a “demographic shift” — with the help of more than 1.2 million legal immigrants being admitted to the United States every year — is changing the American electorate in favor of Democrats. [More]
Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Either that or every single one of the "leaders" who ignore and/or refuse to unequivocally address my challenge is either an incompetent or a fraud. If you are one of those, I just publicly slapped you in the face. I dare you to respond.

With Their Head in the Clouds


NRA faces clouds of doubt over its 2020 influence [More]

They're kind of occupied at the moment.

The Explorer Vanishes


More Abolishing America In Charlottesville: This Time It’s Lewis And Clark [More]
So would you rather live under Stalin or the Taliban?

We're the Only Ones Chronic Enough


A Baltimore police officer was indicted Thursday on 32 counts of assault, false imprisonment and misconduct after a review of months’ worth of body-cam footage unveiled a “pattern and practice of harassment and intimidation,” prosecutors said. Sgt. Ethan Newberg, an officer with 24 years on the force... [More]
I dunno-- you'd think in all those 24 years someone would have said something...

Art Imitates Life


Democrats sue Iran over right to use ‘Death to America’ as 2020 campaign slogan [More]

What does that tell us, when there's more truth to be had on a deliberately fake news site than we get from the entire DSM?
