News You Can Wipe With

That's some in-depth "real reporting" there! [More] 

Nope, no hate groups here...

Most television "news" regurgitators don't have the brains to realize they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

The Government They Deserve


Actually, gun restrictions will target the black community [More]
That's what their "community leaders" tell them to vote for.

Now as then, it's the drivers who make sure Massa's will is done.

The New Normal


Destigmatizing Pedophilia [More

As I've repeatedly said, give it a few years and if you're against it, you will be condemned, ostracized and destroyed as a "hater."

The Scourge of Kristol Meth


[More]
SOP for him.

I don't think I've ever had more contempt for a public figure than I do this loathsome dwarf.

Immigrant Song


Swedish National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg has admitted that despite large numbers of weapons seizures and full prisons, the rate of shootings in Sweden remains high. [More]

How many named "Lars" or "Olaf"?

Don't Bother Us with the Facts


Gun Control Advocates Ignore the Data On Reciprocity [More]

If it doesn't advance the narrative it's to be suppressed or lied about.

A Kinder, Gentler Rapist


That’s what happens when you vote for Democrats... [More] 

That we know. It's what happens when we vote for Republicans that worries me.

We're the Only Ones Employed Enough


Fifty-one days after she pleaded guilty to assaulting a suspect she had just arrested, former Westmoreland police officer Amanda Wolfe is still an employee of the city. [More]
So who's "her fellow officer" who evidently turned her body camera off on request to allow repeated assault, and why is she still employed?

And since when is torturing prisoners a misdemeanor?

Trouble in Paradise

A Czech national with three restraining orders against him...?

What can I say but "rigorous" and "there oughta be a law"?

Speaking of Madness...


Seriously? This is madness. [More]
What, doing the same thing over and over again with the same lack of results?

You'll find no freedom following this voice of inexperience.

The Greater of Two Evils


Incoming Florida Senate President Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton) says he is “grateful” for the Everytown for Gun Safety donations to his political committee. [More]

This is what years of allowing Republican betrayals get you.

I see calls to "primary" such political whores. By all means, do. But that suggests if that doesn't work, they're still the preferable choice in the general.

That's why "moderate" Republicans increasingly feel confident showing their true colors. And he's not just a rogue, he's Senate President. That means the Republican establishment wants him.

Until that establishment feels our pain, they'll continue to side with the enemy. And yes, that probably means really, really, really bad Democrats will win until the GOP "gets it."

There's no shortage of "pragmatic leaders" who will tell you that means we will "lose our gun rights!"

What they're saying is, they will surrender theirs.

Sounds like they deserve each other.

I just got sent this tweet from Oct. 2018 I had not seen before. Be sure and watch the brief video. I'd love to get the backstory on this.

The First 13 Words


In a nutshell, then, the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms reflects not only a concern for one’s personal defense but serves as a check on the political power of the ruling authorities.[More]

And as long as our "gun rights leaders" focus exclusively on the former and ignore the core purpose in their lobbying and legal efforts, that right will be increasingly vulnerable to infringements.

Tombstone 2.0


Is Governor Northam trying to start a second civil war? [More]

No. He just feels safe enough to do this.

Time will tell if he has misjudged restraint for something else.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise

A British cutlery firm is offering a solution for the rash of knife crimes plaguing Great Britain: knives that have square ends. [More]
The rounded ones that have been pout there for over 10 years didn't work? Those inclined to cut and run are loath to shell out $20 for a set of four?

In the annals of stupid ideas, I'm trying to think of one that beats this.

[More

Same as the old boss...

Trump appointee and "King of Bankruptcy" Wilbur Ross was a Democrat until 2016, and one with all kinds of problematic baggage...? Anyone picking up any swamp drainage here, or do the levels look like they're rising?

Where are all the terrorists we were warned about?
