It Could Never Happen Here


[More]
That would be this book. If you haven't read it yet, what the hell are you waiting for? A stay-at-home order?

You can get it here.

As Opposed to 'Progressive' Obsession with Control?

MSNBC Contributor: Americans’ Obsession with Freedom... [More]
I'm sure he could find things more to his liking in India...

This seems to be a new talking point because I've had occasion to mention  Patrick Henry several times in the past week.

Tales of the Bizarro World


Cutting violent felons loose while simultaneously disarming law-abiding citizens sounds like an over-the-top BabylonBee parody. [More]
It sounds more to me like "progressive" SOP.

Life Imitates Art



Did they get the part about stores running out of toilet paper right?

Follow the Money

The Wuhan Virus pandemic and the nation’s reaction to it have given many states a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to siphon money from a federal government that has cast all caution to the wind and is printing money as fast as the presses can operate. [More]
Reposted in the interest of understanding just how dangerous this situation really is...



Slut Shaming, if Possible

I forget where I got this from but
have been wanting an excuse to use it.
Professor Neil Ferguson allowed the woman to visit him at home during the lockdown while lecturing the public on the need for strict social distancing in order to reduce the spread of coronavirus. The woman lives with her husband and their children in another house. [More]
She's "a leftwing campaigner," unsurprisingly...

Anybody know if Purelle stings, and did they at least wear masks?

I was going to say at least we'll get to see what the husband is made of, but it's evidently one of those Opposite Day "progressive" "open marriages" intended to redefine the word.

The People's House

Re-open the Legislature to the Public [More]
Hell of a thing when the help can lock you out of your own digs...

Reminds me of an old observation that most have forgotten, in words and in spirit:
"What should we think of a gentleman, who, upon hiring a waiting-man, should say to him—'my friend, please to take notice, before we come together, that I shall always claim the liberty of eating when and what I please, of fishing and hunting upon my own ground, of keeping as many horses and hounds as I can maintain, and of speaking and writing my sentiments upon all subjects.' A servant must be a fool, who would not suppose such a master to be a madman... Let these truths sink deep into our hearts: that the people are the masters of their rulers and that rulers are the servants of the people..."

'Red' Counties Need Not Apply

Democrat Oregon Governor Allots All of the Govt. Stimulus Funds of $1.6 Billion to Portland Area — Ignores Rural Counties [More]
At least she's answered the "When push comes to shove, who lives, who dies?" question.

Judge Says No Socialist Distancing

Federal Court Judge Revives Canceled New York Democratic Primary [More]
That's one way to see just how much of an overreaction stay-at-home orders have been...

And it'll be nice to have these bastards be the guinea pigs for a change.

An Ounce of Prevention

As a country, we seem resigned to preventable firearm deaths. [More]
Many are preventable. But not the way Charlie Warzel "thinks."

The Gang That Could't Shoot Straight


What a farce.  [More]

I'm waiting to see if all the "masterminds" and financiers will be ID'd, and if U.S. charges will also be filed.

Together is Power

"Go Buy Guns First" - John McAfee Warns Governments "Are Deceiving You" About Virus [More]
You know something's screwy when this guy makes more sense than our "leaders."

Good Question

“Where in the Constitution did the people of Wisconsin confer authority on a single, un-elected cabinet secretary to compel almost 6 mil people to stay at home, close their businesses & face imprisonment if they don’t comply… Isn’t it the very definition of tyranny?” [More]
The outrage is, we could think of innumerable examples where everyone is ordered to do something, or else, without breaking a sweat.

We're the Only Ones Dopey Enough

Weed Warriors Who Mistook Tea for Marijuana Will Pay Their Victims $150,000 [More]
No, the parasite thugs won't pay. "Tax" plunder victims will.

Authorized Usurpation

The court found that Newsom likely had no authority to give illegal aliens taxpayer money but that ‘there was a public interest in sending tax money to illegal aliens during the Coronavirus crisis.’ – Judicial Watch reported. [More]
I'm looking for a seven-letter word, starts with a "t"...

We Can Dance if We Want To

The reason why these first responders have so much free time on their hands is because the coronavirus pandemic has not lived up to the hype pushed by the fake news fear machine and the so-called scientific experts. [More]
Plus, heroes live for applause.

Throwing Good Money After Bad

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is calling on Congress to provide more federal funding to fight gun violence, which has continued during the COVID-19 hustle. [More]
He's part of this scam.

That Which Can Be Given

While Federal law allows Alabama CCP holders to avoid the NICS check, the ATF released a “Public Safety Advisory” which instructs Alabama federal firearm license (FFLs) holders to “no longer accept CCP permits as an alternative to a NICS check​.”  ATF claims that, because certain ATF sheriffs have allowed a few ineligible people to obtain CCPs, the exemption for the entire state is now revoked. [More]
So "permits" can be used to restrict?  Who knew?

A Natural Republican

“People who move here because of job opportunities are natural Republican voters because the Republican Party is the party of growth and opportunity,” state GOP Chairman David Shafer told the Journal Constitution’s Niesse…apparently with a straight face. [More]
Yo, Mammon-worshipper: Same challenge.

Keep hiding from this, state and national gun groups, and you'll see what it gets you.

Sen. David Perdue sounds like the only one worth a damn.

We're the Only Ones Barring Enough

The Ector County Sheriff Department sent its SWAT team and an armoured personnel carrier to arrest the owner of Big Daddy Zane’s, a bar in West Odessa, Texas, that opened up to protest Gov. Greg Abbott’s lockdown order... [More]
Don't forget to cheer!

A Perfect Storm

NRA cutting staff and salaries amid coronavirus pandemic [More]
Can any of the suits be returned?

I can't begin to recall how many comments I've seen saying no more donations until Wayne is gone. The biggest obstacle to that is he is hanging on for dear life and won't let go because he can't. He needs to be the one controlling the lawyers for reasons more than just monetary, making him cornered, desperate, and as we saw with the unceremonious ouster of Chris Cox, dangerous to anyone in the inner circle getting ideas.

The situation is ripe for a Downfall parody...

A Hidden Agenda

Plandemic Documentary The Hidden Agenda Behind Covid 19 [Watch]
She's not without her critics.

It's tough for a layperson to "take sides" when the truth requires such specialized understanding. That, as much as anything, reflects on the incompetent and corrupt state of the establishment media, both in terms of breaking things down and of what to call attention to.

And an uninformed, misinformed, and/or easily-distracted public is a manipulable (and unworthy) public.

Getting His Pander Up


[More]
Let's review the bidding:

Joe's "solution" for the black community -- and exploiting this for votes is the only reason he's weighing in -- is for state enforcers to be the "Only Ones" bearing arms. Oh, and to ban "assault weapons" from the general citizenry...
