Magical Misery Tour Redux

Presidential candidate Bloomberg to campaign in Norfolk Friday [More]
That's never been his way before. All I can figure is he must have bought up all the spaces.

Anybody know anything about the Nauticus venue, specifically if it's "gun-free"?

A Time and a Place for Everything

Bloomberg’s ad, for example, informs us that the candidate isn’t afraid to take on “the gun lobby.” [More]
Start enacting and enforcing leaving no recourse but surrender or disobey and let's talk again.

Like a Well-Oiled Machine

“The mechanics are still being worked on,” said Jake Rubenstein, a spokesman for House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn, D-Fairfax. [More]
Yeah. Here, too.

Don't want any malfunctions when they're needed most.

The Safety Dance

License undocumented immigrants? It’s safer than having unvetted, unlicensed drivers. [More]
Using that line of "thinking," it would be "safer" to issue them CCWs. I notice none of the people who want them here are offering that.

You know what would be even safer?

UPDATE: Follow the money.

Something Smells Fishy to Me

The specific photos of the Virginia native were reportedly used in a campaign for Marlin Lives Matter, an organization focused on preventing the over-fishing of white and blue marlin. The organization used the phrases “white lives matter” and “blue lives matter” in its messaging. [More]
Mustn't distract the Cosmo girls from their bipolar cognitive dissonance of busting his balls vs, sex positions to drive him wild, all the while breaking that glass ceiling with the latest breast enlargement techniques.

Trouble with a Capital "T" and That Rhymes with "P" and That Stands for...

LGBT-P? How Pedophilia is Being Groomed For Sexual Orientation Status [More]
Been saying for some time that give it a few years and anyone against it will be the socially, politically and economically ostracized "hater"...

Oh crap, we've got the wrong NAMBLA!

#BelieveGoldDiggingSlutsWhoWillDoAnythingAndAnyoneToGetAhead

“We were in the shower..." [More]
Stop right there.

You're no victim, you're an opportunistic parasite.

And I don't even like Harvey.

If you ask me, this country doesn't have anywhere near enough slut-shaming.

We're the Only Ones Getting in Last Licks Enough

A homeless man is suing the Honolulu Police Department and the city after he says officers forced him to lick a urinal in a public restroom. [More]
The fact that one pleaded out to a lesser charge says much.

You'd be justified to kill  a man over this. If I were on the jury, I'd nullify even if it were done after the fact.

A Canonical Crime?

What is truly bizarre is that this crime is not a crime if the church says it’s not a crime. Think about that. [More]
I just did. If that's the way it works, it follows that it is a crime if the church says it is.

Why go to such a church?

But yeah, by all means, repeal all existing Intolerable Acts.


And Here is the Best Part, You Have a Head Start, if You are Among the Very Young at Heart

State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblywoman Susan Eggman (D-Stockton) reportedly co-introduced the legislation, dubbed Senate Bill 145, which would explicitly exempt sexual predators who are within 10 years of age of their minor victims from automatically having to register as sex offenders in the state’s official database. [More]
So if a 20-year-old takes a shine to a 10-year-old...?

Hey, we want to make sure the sanctuary we provide respects diverse and vibrant cultural practices, don't we?

That and Hooray for Hollywood!

And but of course. What else would we expect?

Anybody up for some good, old-fashioned political compromise with "our friends across the aisle"?

What You Mean 'We'?



The men of my family and others who I knew who fought in World War II would have viewed filthy commie traitors as just that. [More]

And Campus Reform: You guys are old enough to know the difference between "at knife point" and "at bayonet point."

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

There’s No Such Thing as a Dangerous Neighborhood [More]
Neighborhood Scout begs to differ.

But it should be easy enough for you to prove, Stephen Lurie.

Or forget you -- how about some suburban Moms take their Demands into the hood?

'Divisive' is the Idea

Slavery reparations may be the single most divisive idea in American politics. [More]
No, making us slaves is.And that starts with making sure we can't raise a hand to Massa, doesn't it?

So-- how much we gonna charge Obama?

And when can I go after the Italians?

Caging the Keepers

"Wrong thinking is punishable...".
Deplatformed: How Big Tech Companies & Corporate America Subvert the Second Amendment [More]
In addition to the content neutral/ editorial platform argument, there's one other I've so far seen no one offer up for discussion but me, including from anyone with legal qualifications: Right of way easements effectively seizing private property involve government partnerships, which would seem to me to fall under First Amendment protections, and any authorizations allowing for censorship could fall under established Deprivation of Rights law.

We're the Only Ones on Message Enough

The disgraced cop’s T-shirt read: “Warning: You have the right to Remain an Idiot. Everything YOU say can and will be IGNORED," as he walked out of court in August ...  Ruggiero’s lawyer has repeatedly insisted that Carter was the one who started the argument. [More]
Ever the fashion trendsetters...

Let me guess: The fireman "lifted a finger"?

A Numbers Game

Michael Bloomberg's Claim About 'Children' Killed by 'Gun Violence' Is Off by 73% [More]
Since when has truth even been a factor with powerverts?
Buh-ruh-up!

For the Children


'Super drunk' Michigan rep tells cops 'this is going to be the most famous arrest you've ever made' after she's caught driving erratically on the highway while THREE TIMES over the limit [More]
Have another drink.

Gunkapo of the Month


Proposed bill to tax rifles, high capacity magazines [More]
Ah, the Disproportionately Disenfranchise People of Color of Their Rights Act of 2020 -- that'll price them out of the range of "those people," at least the "law-abiding" ones. What a "progressive" idea! I wonder how "chief sponsor" Ann Gillespie looks in a pointed hood.

But the real "star" of this show is Randall Gustafson, our February 2020 Gunkapo of the Month Award recipient, "a salesman at Pro Gun & Indoor Range in Marion" who, according to this report, "says he'd support the bill if he knew which programs are being funded."

That would make a difference?

I'm wondering why any gun owner of principle would want to throw business to those subverting while profiting off our most fundamental of rights. I suppose if he claims he was misquoted, we could always ask the reporter...

Night of the Long Clips

John Kerry Endorses Biden to Fight Against ‘AR-16 with Long Clip’ [More]
Would you say that's more like a shoulder thing that goes up or a 30 magazine clip?

Let's ask Mikey, he'll say anything.

So Much for Popular Demand

A proposed ban didn’t get the 766,200 signatures needed to be placed on the ballot ... The group pushing the petition — Ban Assault Weapons Now — collected 145,000 verified signatures this past year. [More]
I've blogged about this before-- I think this calls for an article.

[Via DDS]

We're the Only Ones Blubbering Enough

“Sir, I am begging you, please don’t send me to jail,” Arbeeny said. It worked. [More]
Think this oinker would have listened to that from a collar...?

And despite it all, his legal strategy is still blaming "arrest quotas" instead of himself. No wonder the kid is messed up.

Wonder how much Judge Reichbach cost.

What Happens in Iowa

'It’s a total meltdown': Confusion seizes Iowa as officials struggle to report results [More]
