Witness for the Prosecution
Flynn was guilty and the government could prove it [More]Why wouldn't I believe a legal assertion from someone who helps the Bradys lie about guns in court?

Neologistically Speaking...
‘Please don’t misgender me’: Reporter calls Pa. health secretary ‘sir’ multiple times during interview [More]Was he asking about his mom?
You'll have to excuse me for never having heard that word before.
Neither has anyone else until very recently:

The Company He Keeps
Democrat Mark Kelly Silent on Financial ‘Windfall’ from Chinese Company [More]Wanna have some fun?

The Range of Arguments
Second Amendment Challenge to N.J. Gun Range Closure [More]As with all the rest, it focuses exclusively on self-defense and completely overlooks the core purpose.

We're the Only Ones Out of Hiding Enough
The Deputies Association said in a news release that Miller, who was fired along with three other deputies, was awarded full back pay and will get back his seniority... According to information revealed by the MSD Public Safety Commission, even though Miller heard gunshots he hid behind his car, put on a vest and didn’t even use his radio for about 10 minutes. [More]Hey, you never know when the department might need a professional with firsthand experience at being a coward.

The Universal Whine
"Give me liberty or give me death!" — so goes the universal whine, lifted from Patrick Henry's Virginia Convention speech in 1775. [More]So it's the "right-wing rhetoric" that's wrongly provocative...?
And so much for insulated and provincial Marcie Bianco's understanding of just who she's poking.
It figures Opposite Day "progressives" would file this under a category labeled "Think."

Intruder Alert
Illegal Alien Murdered Texas Police Officer, Shot Two Others [More]It says he's been here since the 90s-- I wonder if those who employed him could be sued on grounds that they knew he was illegal and enabled his continued lawbreaking, maybe citing a bit of recent Supreme Court precedent...?
I don't think that would make it ex post facto since enabling criminal activity has always been illegal, but I'm not a lawyer, so who knows? This may be a new approach for specific situations...

A Bad Hair Day
"Yesterday (May 8) six troopers came in to enforce the governor's order or to issue a cease-and-desist order so we are here to make sure he doesn't get arrested," Owosso resident Daniel Brewer told NBC 25 News. "We're willing to stand in front of that door and block the entrance so the police will have no entry there today." [More]Is this where it begins?
He seems like genuinely good people.
The statist @$$holes are really revealing themselves on his Facebook page.

Bunch'a Damn Disenfranchising Racists If Ya Ask Me
The Mexican government issues a voter ID card to all its voters. In order to receive one of these cards, prospective voters must prove their identity and citizenship. [More]And a bunch'a damn xenophobes, too...
A Confederacy of Dunces
CNN puts teen climate activist Greta Thunberg on coronavirus panel with health experts — and observers are in mockery mode [More]As they should be.
Who better to include than someone who garnered worldwide headlines claiming she had it without any validated proof?
Everyone involved, including "fans," to paraphrase Rhett Butler, should be mocked, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Gee, Officer Krupke
Teen accused in savage mass stomping of girl is shot dead, police sources say - Over a dozen suspects were caught on video attacking the girl — after which one stole her Air Jordans right off her feet [More]Media code words, much?
They're depraved on account'a they're deprived.

Palm Off
We further conclude that Palm’s order confining all people to their homes, forbidding travel and closing businesses exceeded the statutory authority... [More]#2 seems appropriate:

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Republican' Is
Republican flips House seat in California special election [More]You wonder what would have happened if they'd switched last names.
He repeats all the platitudes, but I hear no real specifics and wonder what he means by "significant military weapons." I wonder how he'd do with this...
And the absence of specifics here troubles me for obvious reasons.
I need more information before I can put this in the "Win" column.

Meanwhile, Over at the Vested Interest in Bringing It All Down Coalition...
The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus has asked Gov. Ralph Northam to abandon his plan to reopen most of Virginia on Friday, saying a premature reopening would make black and brown Virginians “guinea pigs for our economy.” [More]Why, is virus-targeting race-specific?
And where do they think the money they enslave their constituents with comes from?
Interesting that they used that analogy, though...

Aborting Freedom
Daleiden’s undercover videos did not violate California video recording law, which does not prohibit anybody from recording conversations in a public area that anybody can oversee, but that did not stop Planned Parenthood and Harris from wielding a political prosecution against Daleiden. [More]It's what totalitarians do.
[Via Michael G]
What's in a Name?
A Cleveland man is facing charges for a triple shooting at a gas station that claimed the life of a 24-year-old bystander. [More]I don't suppose the name McCarver is going to generate the same outrage or get the same media play as, say, the name McMichael...?
Redress of Grievances
Urge your Senators and Representative to oppose Nancy Pelosi’s back door, gun control agenda [More]And if my senators are Feinstein and Harris, and my representative is Nancy Pelosi...?
We all have a stake in Congressional actions. How about in situations where a few dozen emails to a politician with millions of supporters does nothing more than confirm how invulnerable they are, we instead urge approachable politicians who would benefit from out-of-state goodwill?
I'd actually like to see a list of who would not be a waste of time and a mechanism to contact all of them.
And yeah, I did it.
I just wish we had options for our friends behind enemy lines.
