Trudeau promises swift action on gun control following Nova Scotia shooting [More]If expanding on what hasn't worked isn't a "progressive" idea, I don't know what is.

What Took Him So Long?
[Via Roger J]
Looks Like a Good Way to Get Malware to Me...
Find david codrea and mike vanderboegh book free download [More]I know there's no book by us, and if there's a book about us it's news to me and certainly not authorized or the result of any collaboration.
This says the site itself is not suspicious, but just from that description, I'm suspicious as hell, and not inclined to download whatever that "book" is...
A Higher Calling
This reasonable reader cannot see how those 70 militiamen, with guns suicidally drawn against a vastly larger force of professional soldiers, were advancing their economic self-interest, suppressing class tensions, claiming land out West, promoting commerce, or defending slavery. [More]They were there for a much more basic purpose.

The Quality of Mercy
“I think it’s unconscionable just on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done,” the mayor said during his morning briefing Monday... [More]Yeah, what do you think they do? Why do you think they had to be locked up like animals in the first damn place, moron?
You oughta see what they'd do to you, your wife and your children if you didn't have taxpayer-funded bodyguards and were dependent on their "mercy," which makes your demands for citizen disarmament all the more hypocritically evil.

Points/Counterpoints
"Sweden’s Chief Epidemiologist: Our Open Approach To Virus Seems To Be Working" [More]and
‘There’s no direct evidence that the lockdowns are working’ [More]So what does Fauci know that they don't?
I had a thought today when out for a walk and watching a plumbing truck pass by -- Is anyone keeping track of new case rates for those "essential" workers whose jobs require them to come into contact with different people in their home environments on a daily basis? It would seem they'd be dropping like flies...

Rules are for Little People
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally was asked to explain why – despite repeatedly accusing President Trump of "underplaying" the coronavirus threat – she was in San Francisco's crowded Chinatown in late February encouraging people to come join her. [More]So will Bay Area people issued citations for not following social distancing mandates be able to challenge them on equal protection grounds?
Is it too late to call the snitch line?
Staying Power?
The virtual closure of national borders from Central America to the United States because of the Chinese Virus might end the migration of Central America’s poverty-stricken hordes to the United States, but only if the controls stay in place long enough to become settled policy. Mass apprehensions at the border have dropped by more than half. Helping, of course, is the knowledge, even among illegal aliens, that one might contract the deadly microbe on the trip north, but the border controls are what counts. The virus will pass. Stopping a return to the status quo ante depends on President Trump’s surviving the social and economic upheaval the Asian pathogen has caused, which means Trump—The Sequel must begin on January 20. [More]Meaning desperation to execute an agenda makes this a very dangerous time...

We're the Only Ones Running Down Enough
Atlanta police supervisor accused of attacking, attempting to run over fellow officer... Police said the off-duty officer tried get Steed out of the car and she resisted, ultimately biting the officer’s hand [More]I guess that's the difference a trained professional brings to the scene. Bring but an amateur, none of those options would have even occurred to me in this situation.
Of course when "civilians" try bumping their cars into "Only Ones," the results are usually pretty definitive and immediate.

We're the Only Ones Alpha and Omega Enough
“Each of us took an oath to uphold and defend the Michigan Constitution, as well as the US Constitution, and to ensure that your God given rights are not violated,” the sheriffs said. “We believe that we are the last line of defense in protecting your civil liberties.” [More]Would that you were. But I can't show certain "unpermitted" guns to any of you, can I?
Guess what: You're typically not the "first responders," either.

Teach Your Children Well
Yet Elizabeth Bartholet, Wasserstein public interest professor of law and faculty director of the Law School’s Child Advocacy Program, sees risks for children—and society—in homeschooling, and recommends a presumptive ban on the practice. Homeschooling, she says, not only violates children’s right to a “meaningful education” and their right to be protected from potential child abuse, but may keep them from contributing positively to a democratic society.” [More]A ban on parents teaching their children...
Enforceable by men with guns...
It's the only thing those who would force their will on the rest of us understand.
And could there be a more "progressive" laboratory to measure results...?

Plan B?
China owned US pork producer, Smithfield Foods, shut down its operations in South Dakota recently due to the coronavirus. Actions like this lead to many wondering if China is attempting to undermine the US food supply. [More]So does that mean Plan A didn't work?
Or is all this just my overactive imagination?

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gulag
The key elements of both the Green New Deal and the Lockdown are reduced economic activity to stave off some crisis that is both unsubstantiated and unverifiable. It is the invisible threat that is relied upon to force people into economic devastation, thus relying heavily on government for their lives and when that cannot be accomplished (and they truly don't see the irony of it at all) a certain amount of people will have to die to save the rest. People are not ecologically sustainable in their model. [More]Think of it as beta testing.
And that can be taken two ways.
From the #BelieveWomen Files...
A Manchester woman has been arrested for filing a false report to law enforcement after she claimed she was drugged during an off-campus fraternity event at the University of New Hampshire. [More]Next thing you're going to be telling me most "hate crime" reports are hoaxes...
I found a social media account by someone with the same name I won't link to because I can't be sure it's the same person. I bring it up because it had a Women's March Global "Believe Women" post that struck me as ironic.
Funny, how that's so selective, isn't it?

I Like to be in America. O.K. by Me in America
Everything free in America [More]
I've had people (who refuse to take my challenge) insist if "we" were welcoming, we'd win hearts and minds and live in RKBA harmony ever after.
Allow me to reiterate:
And as an aside for those who call for outreach, that’s a good idea and long overdue. It cannot be overstated that the right to keep and bear arms is a human right, not just an American one, and the big national and state groups should have been doing that all this time. But we also have to face the reality that resource-limited efforts they put forth are unlikely to result in any significant and timely attitude changes when pitted against generational cultural predispositions, 2A-hostile educational, political and media interests, and stepped-up marginalization/ostracism of “pro-gun” influencers by social media and search engine giants.
This latest example of what their media chooses to share with them would seem to validate that.
Down the Garden State Path
The New Jersey woman who helped organize and film a protest in the state capitol of Trenton against Governor Phil Murphy's stay-at-home orders was charged by the state police with violating the emergency decrees. The information comes to us via a press release from the state's attorney general, Gurbir S. Grewal and Colonel Patrick J. Callahan, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. [More]Grabber Grewal and his "essential" attack hog certainly make quite the authoritarian tag team, do they not?
When you're empowered to enforce Murphy's Law, you can get away with anything.
Most conditioned constituents will agree and continue to vote for their oppressors.

Much Ado About Nothing
In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the American Civil Liberties Union and ACLU of Virginia filed a federal lawsuit today challenging Virginia’s “witness requirement.” [More]This whole thing is based on a lie and on the intent to enable voter fraud. It's not like anyone is actually totally without human contact. An old lady living alone still has someone making sure she's alive and fed, be it a neighbor, a fellow parishioner, a relative or social services. Any exception would be a rarity revealing an issue much more critical than absentee voting.
Hell, somebody picks up the absentee ballot.
I'd like to identify the protestors in the photograph for the purpose of proving none of them have been "disenfranchised" from voting, nor do they personally know anyone who has been.
But the politically exploitive impression of systemic racism has been made, and when dealing with useful idiots, that's all that matters.

"We didn't go back at the time and look at people's criminal history," Chronister said Thursday... [More]Why the f*** not?
So much for your "mission," Chad, which ought to make you liable for a fraud claim based on "legal duty" even without this latest bit of inexcusable incompetence.
The ABCs of Obfuscation
Ex-mayor who quit after criticizing Trump dies in crash [More]Well now that that impression's been created, you have to drill seven paragraphs down to find:
Kirby gained notoriety last week after social media posts criticizing Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and comparing the president’s supporters to KKK members.What can I say but "ABC News"?
And it's not just the avatar they hate.
Violent White Militia Extremists Fire on Commonsense Gun Safety Law Advocates with Weapons of War
The holiday was originally celebrated on April 19, the actual anniversary of the battles (fought in 1775). Since 1969, it has been observed on the third Monday in April in Massachusetts[16] and in Maine[17] (which until the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was part of Massachusetts). The Monday holiday creates a three-day long weekend. It is also the first day of a vacation week for public schools in both states and a school holiday for many local colleges and universities, both public and private. [More]Gotta give another stay-at-home day to the nonessential people who abhor what is being commemorated the most.
To the rest of you, have a reflective Patriots' Day.
And yeah, I see the misspelling.

Speaking of Racist Lunatics
Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, who is described by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the "lead" member of the U.S. government team racing to find a coronavirus vaccine, has engaged with online theories calling the pandemic a black "genocide" and condemned what she called "systematic oppression" by white people...How does not just employing this creature but giving her a position of responsibility, serve any purpose articulated in the Preamble?
