RIP
I had the Wilson Al Kaline autograph model glove in little league.

SOP

Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources - "Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," a source says. [More]
They're just following a time-honored tradition.

In fairness, it's tough to separate the Monday Morning "Gotcha!" on the part of an incentivized DSM on this to clear a path for the Democrats in November from the way bureaucratic priorities have been assigned and escalated. I'm not saying that can't be audited for change, I'm just questioning who could have foreseen then what is known now, especially since so many still seem to be getting so much wrong.

A Person of Faith


"As a person of faith, the Governor recognized that the temporary gatherings restriction would be particularly hard on religious communities," the brief reads. "The Governor has issued guidance designed to help faith communities maintain their communion and worked with religious leaders to find creative solutions, including online and drive-in services."

I was looking for what kind of faith teaches this and found just the religion!

I have to admit, a drive-through where you could hand the baby right through the window is a pretty good idea.

Cydney Failure

In a March 16 Ammoland post, David Codrea imagined the food supply dwindling during this pandemic before telling his readers the government is “utterly incapable of protecting them.” [More]
Yeah. You got proof that it is, share it, or is this yet one more example of the type of competence required to qualify as a Brockian lickspittle?

Speaking of Major Errors...

Data Dump

This is the administrative record for our bump stock case it is over 5 thousand pages. It has everything you could possibly need to know about them. Please take a look. [More]
That Facebook post links to a big-@$$ zip file that'll take a while to download.

Per attorney Alan Beck, via email:

It has a lot of technical stuff and other records ... So here it is please note this is 5000 pages and you need to download the files before you can view it.

Speaking of More Authentic Desires...

He thinks that government should help us “form more authentic desires for the individual and common good, better habits, and beliefs that better track and promote communal well-being.” Oh, and the Harvard law professor says that you and I, whom he calls “subjects,” eventually will come to “thank the ruler” for it.

The reason I find this whole story so unbelievable is because Airbnb requires weapons to be reported and secured.

We'll Do It Our Way



You'd think the people in charge would know one of the prime rules is to keep your hands off your face. [More]
