Shell Game in Progress

The messaging is particularly odd because, while Soros has said he favors stricter gun laws, he has not sunk much into gun control causes in nearly 20 years. [More]
He doesn't have to. He's setting up the system where it will be automatic.

He, and Bloomberg's The Trace, are counting on gun groups being too dumb or too cowed by the prospect of being smeared as haters to make the connection public.

Who thinks Alex Yablon doesn't know that?

Walking it Back

The Armador County Sheriff’s department now appears to be walking back their initial claim of suicide in the death of DHS Whistle-blower Phillip Haney.  [More]
Curious, how none of the really major outlets are reporting this yet.

As predicted.

Based on experience.

Biden for Senate


Or house plant... [More]

If they ever finally do get around to prosecuting him, watch his lawyers argue diminished capacity.

Epstein was Simply Ahead of His Time

Despite a remarkably lifelike appearance, the child – Elli – is actually an android, her memories programmed. And it doesn’t take long to realise that there’s something else to her relationship with this very human, very middle-aged man she calls “Daddy.” [More]
Those leetle eyes so helpless and appealing...

Fortunately, Germany's replacement population is down with this.

I keep saying, give it a few years and anyone against this will be condemned and destroyed as a hater.

Learning Nothing

Truly not yours, the little girl in the photograph, a registered Democrat in swing-state Florida. [More]
How could she understand the horrors of totalitarianism and then embrace the ¿Armas para Que? Party?

Setting an Example

But at the same time, another mandate wouldn’t be needed if federal and state governments enforced the laws that say you can’t hire any people who come to the U.S. illegally. If you want to change behavior, change the incentives. Severe punishment often does wonders for changing behavior. [More]
Yeah, but then campaign contributions would dry up.

Capitalist Rope Sale

But Florida and the nation need more immigrants, not fewer, to pick our crops, doctor our sick, clean our hotel rooms, build our buildings, design new technologies, care for our elderly and grow our economy. [More]
And elect our anti-gun Democrats.

Travesty


[More]
Look at the "Prognosis"  and the fact that there are only four co-sponsors out of all those "staunch supporter" A-raters. Then consider:
"Rep. Massie previously introduced the bill in February 2018 but it never received a vote, despite Republicans controlling the House at the time."

Prosecute Gun Thieves: It's Only Common-Sense

Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation have filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of their case challenging the City of San Jose and its police department in a case involving the seizure of legally-owned firearms and refusal to return them. [More]
I don't suppose there's any chance of  DOJ, you know, enforcing the law?

American Bar Association Expands Promotion Of Gun Control [More]
Like I said about these characters...

...and Rules for Them

“Getting information through the Freedom of Information Law depends on the archiving laws being followed”... [More]
Not that they will be, or that there will be any consequences for in-your-face FOIL noncompliance.

Here's mine.

Thank goodness we're only talking about a few bad apples.

A Pound of Cure

Delaware Court Creates Expungement Remedy for Quickly Dismissed Protection-from-Abuse Orders -- Tell me what you think. [More]
I think this shows the way rights can be stripped by default based on nothing more than vengeful allegations by people with an axe to grind. I think this shows that anything less than full due process is tyranny.

I think if you can prevent infringements in the first place, no remedy is necessary.

I prefer an ounce of prevention.

As for hiding identities, I think anyone lying to hurt someone else needs to be exposed and innocent people should be loudly proclaimed so.

Education News from 'The Barely Adequate State'

High school students won’t have to be “proficient” in either math or English to graduate, under minimum required test scores proposed by State Superintendent Paolo DeMaria. They will just need to know enough to do the most basic of jobs. [More]
Just enough to get by. There's an appropriate state motto for ya.

Still, it's necessary if DeSwine is going to finalize his next bit of treachery.

Ol' Paolo must be doing a great job-- he just got a swell raise. And the convoluted way the trough-feeder system is set up pretty much guarantees the swamp will fester and endure.

And they could do a better job, you know. My own school district got pretty good grades on everything that matters except the most important, and is doing dismally on "Diversity." Give it a few years and we'll see those numbers readjust.

It's so nice living in a Republican state after all those years in California.

The Finest Praise Money Can Buy

Paid to tweet for Mike Bloomberg — not necessarily support him [More]
Well hell, it's pretty well documented that you can get a desperate enough whore to do just about anything.

I've had some troll me on Twitter, and because I use it exclusively to promote my links I don't engage. Still, I've been tempted to ask a few of the ones who represent themselves as Bloomberg fangirls if they consider themselves fat broads or horse-faced lesbians.

Keep Your Shirts On

A pair of sophomores at Kettle Moraine High School sued their principal in federal court a day after she told them they had to cover the T-shirts they wore to school because the shirts depicted guns. [More]
Here's a consideration that's absolutely relevant:
"If a school sanctions a walkout to call for gun control, to call for universal background checks, to call for red flag laws, certainly, they should at least allow a student to wear a non-violent, non-threatening T-shirt as they go about their daily business," Clark said.
Is it just me, or is anyone else not able to access these photos to get to the stories behind them?

Bullet Fee

State Representative Jillian Gilchrest (D-West Hartford) has introduced legislation this session that will support gun violence prevention and reduction efforts in affected communities through the implementation of a 35 percent excise tax on ammunition sales. [More]
Not that it will actually do what it promises -- but the frauds pushing it know that.

For those of you who want to see more...

What is it with totalitarians and bullet fees?

When this passes will we see an appropriate manufacturer response?

Wheels Down, Guns Up

Location, Location, Location!

This seemingly benign revision would facilitate the collection of the needed information. And with a simple handheld scanner device, the job becomes VERY simple for an agent in the field. [More]
But...but...but gripes...

And what has been "unsigned" is just one election away from becoming "supreme Law of the Land."

One Nation, Divisible

Chairwoman Louella Thompson said she’ll have law enforcement present to take action if anyone stands to say the Pledge of Allegiance at the next meeting of the Bladen County Board of Elections. [More]
Hey, they'll only be following orders.

Looks like she backed down. Too bad-- would have been a great way to continue letting Democrats show people what they're all about. 

And yeah, I know.

VLLA SELLA 'n all that...

Mexico’s Murder Rate Is Soaring—Including The Peculiar Crime Of “Femicide.” Build The Wall! [More]
Funny -- not a word about this on the Women's March Twitter feed, which has instead reached an entirely different conclusion. It's enough to make me wonder if what they're really for is totalitarianism and they are just exploiting useful idiot women as pawns or something...


The Real Solution

The real solution here is to make the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as wholesome as possible. [More]
Good grief.

Enforce and enhance existing Intolerable Acts..?

Thank Goodness This Has Nothing to Do With That 'Single Issue'

Republicans who view Latinos as conservative at root and capable of being won over if only the GOP would moderate its positions on immigration should think again. [More]
The same goes for idiot gun group "leaders" who are either in denial or hiding from the issue, like cowards.

Another American Innovation They Can Steal

It’s good to see that the Chinese have figured out how to win arguments in the U.S. Just denounce any inconvenient observations as “racist.” [More]
Shoot, our own commies have been using that for years.

And our "Authorized Journalists" certainly are a courageous lot, aren't they?

Point of Agreement

"I’m not a big fan of everybody having guns. But The Second Amendment gives you the right. I can’t do anything about that.” [More]
  1. No $h!+. 
  2. On this, you and the White House evidently agree.
  3. Well, you can try.

A wave of support has been building to remove questions about mental health from what’s known as the character and fitness reviews of bar applicants. [More]
Go ahead and scrap it all. Clearly, it has had no effect.

And There Was War in Heaven Hell

At least seven of Mike Bloomberg’s campaign offices have been vandalized over the last two weeks, campaign officials say, in a string of incidents that the Bloomberg campaign has blamed without evidence on Bernie Sanders’ supporters. [More]
Maybe he ought to put out a call for volunteers to stand armed guard...
