A Quick Study

Aha! It isn’t a real longitudinal study; it’s the usual cross-sectional garbage.  [More]

Well...yeah. How else do you expect them to get the results they wanted to present from the outset?

About That 'Respecting the Establishment of Religion' Bit...

New York mosque still open for daily prayers while churches across the country face mandatory shutdowns [More]

So if "authorities" perceive strong enough resistance and political fallout they back down...?

Besides, it's for a good cause.

Explain Yourselves

The U.S. Supreme Court has instructed the City of San Jose, California to respond to a writ of certiorari from the Second Amendment Foundation in the case of Lori Rodriguez, et al. v. City of San Jose, which involves the city’s confiscation of legally-owned firearms and the city’s refusal to return them. [More]

It would be nice to think that some people are sweating over this but without meaningful personal repercussions for losing, the bosses will continue to be reelected and the money won't be coming out of their pockets.

Another Way of Trolling

I insist comments stay on topic here where I can control things.

Where I can't, I'm seeing an increase of comment posters throwing out something completely unrelated to the topic being offered for discussion resulting in no shortage of the distracted chasing after it. Seeing the same people doing it time and again makes me wonder if infiltration, disruption, and redirection are the real reasons some of them are there.

Game On

2AGaming™ is an outreach program by the Second Amendment Foundation. [More]

As I've confessed before, this whole phenomenon pretty much passed me by after Pong. That said, if you're newer to the planet than I am, give it a look. If you think the graphics and scenarios are compelling enough to draw in gamers, spread the word through your sphere of influence.

You're going to have to be the ones to write reviews and, importantly, to monitor "mainstream" reviews to ensure criticisms are fair as opposed to agenda-driven.

What They Said

'It speaks to an absolute ignorance of expert opinion and defiance of common sense' [More]

If that isn't just about the most accurate description of "Progressivism" I've ever seen...

She Was Appointed for a Reason

I’m fully prepared to believe that she is eminently qualified to sit as a justice of the Washington State Supreme Court, based upon her experience, qualifications and temperament, and that she will be a brilliant and fair jurist. [More]

I'm not.

‘THIS IS CRAZY!’: Chinese-Made Drones Are Monitoring Streets In 20 States To Enforce Social Distancing. U.S. Officials Are Concerned About Spying. [More]

Replace "concerned" with "enthusiastic" and I'd call that closer to the mark.

So Is He Going to Get His 5 Years Back?

Citing the "Stand Your Ground" law, the 5th District Court of Appeal  dismissed the longstanding charges against a Port St. John man accused of shooting Brevard County Sheriff’s Deputy John "Casey" Smith during a botched arrest in front of his home in 2015. [More]

You show up out of uniform and your first instinct is to grab a girl and people are going to react.

UPDATE: And it looks like at least two more showed up "out of uniform." (Thanks, Ed)

He Did It! He Missed the Barn!

If the Democrats win in November, we know their priorities: national health insurance, carbon taxes, the Green New Deal, open borders, amnesty, reparations and wealth redistribution to reduce social and economic inequality – an agenda costing trillions of dollars. [More]

You forgot something, Pat.

The Race Card Default

This idiot again. And more corroboration that Trump is an avatar.

She won't acknowledge this because she can't, but I won't be surprised to see some sadists and psychopaths show up.

Masking His Activities

"We are for actually solving a major, major problem — not only for the state but potentially a template for the country." [More]

Oh, he's talking about masks...

Stoking Stay-at-Home Hysteria Another Way to Discourage Gun Ownership

They learned long ago that announcing their true intentions impedes manipulation of the uninformed, and that nothing works better on the cud-chewers than “For the children.” Keeping children ignorant actually puts them in more danger, but that won't be acknowledged because safety isn’t what power-hungry frauds pulling useful idiot strings to bring about a “monopoly of violence” are really after.

Guess who doesn't practice "social distancing," and whose interests are served by home invasion victims not being able to get to a functioning gun in time?
