Giffords’ and Democrat Mayors’ Plea to Congress Can Only Make Urban Violence Worse


The truth about urban “gun violence” is it’s not about guns, but about “progressive” fraud that keeps charlatans in power through a seemingly endless cycle of dependency and manipulation. [More]
Feeding more money to liars will only result in more lies, more erosion of essential freedom, and more victims.

Good Question

“Why would you come back to work when you can make more money staying at home?” [More]
Good question, at least until the ride abruptly stops.

Going Forward

Nor have defendants demonstrated the unavailability of less restrictive alternatives. [More]
You mean acceptable infringements...?

To the Corp

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers publishes request for comment on proposed revision to regulation governing possession of firearms [More]
I should have posted this three weeks ago. Fortunately, we have until June.

Look at the Mess We Made. Now Clean It Up

It’s hard not shake your head at California officials asking the Trump administration for help after illegal aliens with coronavirus began spilling into hospitals on the US side. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

I mean, if it did, you'd think some of our "gun lobby leaders" would be beating that drum...

Speaking of Nazi Propagandists...

“This sign in Pittsburgh was doctored & circulated online to have a Nazi concentration camp slogan. Real photo on the right by photographer Andrew Rush. People are working overdrive to smear all “reopen America” protesters as fascists. When they can’t find them, they create them,” Ngo wrote. [More]
So much for toning down the rhetoric...

About That 'Fundamental Transformation'...

Which means you're a racist to be marginalized, the old symbols must be torn down, and the new collective history will become a "living document"...

We're the Only Ones Factoring Enough

I just don’t see where any of these factors are present. Without that, you have a police officer who just committed murder. [More]
Sometimes you just feel like clapping...

Bare-Ass Naked in the Town Square Conned

Will we ever even know who they are?

Civil Discourse, Opposite Day 'Progressive'-Style

AWFUL! Chicago Tribune Labels All of the “Open Illinois” Protesters “Nazis” in First Line of News Report after Friday Rally [More]
That would be the same newsraper that admonished Republicans to "tone down the rhetoric."

We're Sure They Weren't Democrats?

A woman, her adult son and husband have been charged in the fatal shooting of a security guard who refused to let her daughter enter a Family Dollar in Michigan because she wasn't wearing a face mask to protect against transmission of the coronavirus. [More]
So naturally, it's in the interests of the Associated Press and ABC News to imply correlation/causation and a political sympathies nexus between these guys and these guys.

UPDATE: Naturally, it's Trump's fault.

Who will Monitor the Monitors?

The consulates of Guatemala in the United States offer accompaniment to the fellow Guatemalans who remain in custody of the migratory authorities... [More]
I don't suppose the issue should be why government corruption and incompetence in their native land compelled them to escape the sh**hole conditions there...?

O, Canada


When regular citizens have these guns, they are “assault weapons”. When the police have them, they are “patrol carbines”. [More]
A-yup.

How do you say "¿Armas para que?" in French? (And the supposed "debunking" of that "rumor" is pretty damn non-definitive.)

UPDATE:
Trudeau Aiming to Ban Handguns
And Google Translate says it's "Des armes pour quoi?"

Like Mike*

“If Michelle Obama wasn’t so adamant that she isn’t running for public office, the perfectly timed new Netflix documentary ‘Becoming’ would sure seem like a campaign launch.” [More]
Yeah, it sure would.

Funny, how they don't provide for comments on this free ad masked as news.

* And don't blame me.

A Cost/Benefit Analysis

'...the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives by a huge factor' [More]
Yes, but taking over requires it.

And as far as deaths go, we ain't seen nothin' yet.

From Each According to Our Demands

Socialist Kshama Sawant pushes ‘militant’ takeover of Amazon [More]
Bezos is a subject for another day.

I'm more interested in determining how it serves "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" to import subversives, and if it does not, where government derives the authority to admit them.

The Old Standby

“There were swastikas and Confederate flags and nooses and people with assault rifles,” Whitmer said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Some of the outrageousnesses of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country.” [More]
Smear 'em as racists. That always works.

Especially when done by a privileged and powerful white person.

No?
