It's OK -- They Have Private Security

John Legend, Common, the Weeknd, Lizzo Sign Open Letter to Defund the Police [More]
Jane Fonda and Natalie Portman too?  Sold!

And best of all, every one of them wants the police to be the "Only Ones" with guns.

Besides their bodyguards, of course.

Skip Coolzip sure has been busy of late.

You'll Never Work in This Town Again!

“Law and Order” writer and producer Craig Gore was fired from the show Tuesday after pledging on social media to defend law and order. [More]
We only want that done on TV with pretend "Only Ones"!

And we only want pretend "Only Ones" who promote the agenda.

The Devil You Know

NY Rep. Eliot Engel, the 16-term Democratic congressman who was largely missing in action as his Bronx district was ravaged by the coronavirus, returned on Tuesday — only to declare he didn’t really care about the looting rocking his constituents ... When Diaz Jr. said there were too many people on the list, Engel mumbled through his face mask: “If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care.” [More]
The problem is, his more energetic and motivated, and thus more effective opponent will actually be worse.

Not that I have much use for Elise.

Boris Johnson says 3m people in Hong Kong will get path to British citizenship [More]
They really don't want their country anymore.

I wonder how many new Democrats we'll get.

We Come In Peace!

Yeah, well, they don't, morons:


They remind me of self-righteous Hudsonites.

The Burning Bush

George W. Bush Cheers Protests as Sign of ‘Strength’ [More]

Stop the Hate



A handful of well-heeled hometown snowflakes made a point of holding a public virtue-signaling where the space could not be safer. [More]

White people of privilege wouldn't be quite so tolerated a few miles north.

Hudson is an old abolitionist town. I live a short walk away from John Brown's old tannery farm, a street is named after his father, and much of the family is interred in a local boneyard. Locals take great pride in telling stories about townspeople taking slave catchers prisoner and putting them on trial, and even though much of the town is still moderately moderate Republican, they place great stock in being regarded as "progressively" tolerant.  There's probably nothing that would horrify them more than being accused of racism, which makes me find humor in the one unsatisfactory grade their public schools got from the state, where they excelled at everything but "diversity." (I posted on this a few years back and have to go back when I have more time to see if I can find that link.)

Meanwhile, I got a call from my kid brother the other day, concerned because he was on the road and had heard rumblings of looting at the local mall, not all that far from his house. He wanted to know if my feelers had picked up anything.  Turns out it was just a jewelry store smash and grab, that is, just a bit of "symbolic taking" by justice-demanding people we are told are incapable of racism.

Got It Partly Right

George Floyd and Duncan Lemp are victims of the same enemy. When will we wake up and see it? [More]
True, we're all being manipulated, but it's also true that the factions being gaslighted are existentially irreconcilable.

Forbidden Words

Grant Napear, Sacramento Kings announcer since 1988, fired for tweeting "All lives matter, every single one!" [More]
To be fair, he is wrong.

The Way of Bullshido

How Japan Has Almost Eradicated Gun Crime [More]
Without doubt, drive-bys in Nanking were unheard of.

Continuing:
In 2014 there were just six gun deaths, compared to 33,599 in the US.
So the five million members of the NRA, arguably the most heavily armed civilian population on the planet, had both a lower rate and lower numbers?

And then there's this inconvenient truth. Not that "progressives" mind as long as it doesn't involve a gun...

I'm not sure why Getpocket thought it was a good idea to repost a (government-funded) BBC article that's several years old or what the fawning Brit who wrote it would be prepared to do when the cultural terraforming of his "blessed plot" is complete, especially since they'll get no help this time from people like me.

Of Their Own Making

Mainstream Media Has Been Conditioning You For This Uprising For Four Years [More]
They'd best hope it doesn't get completely out of control, for their sakes...

I wonder what the results would be if you replaced "police officer" in my hypothetical poll with "journalists"...

Bringing the War Back Home?

Rooftop Arabs (or Pakistanis) defending thei business in New York City. They start looting, the Arabs start shooting and the rioters immediately flee. #GunRights work! Weak governments won’t protect you! [More]
I can't really tell what this is and where it is. It would be interesting to see Muslim immigrants develop a hatred of the left, but that doesn't mean they'd want to be BFFs with Constitutionalists.

He Almost Makes It Sound Attractive

Seven Thoughts on the Civil War the Other Side Wants So Badly - None of them is a winner for Democrats. [More]
The real danger from the Dems, at least at this point, is the nonstop subversion to engineer a November blue wave.

An Expert Opinion

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Monday police should be trained to shoot at the legs of assailants, which police training experts decry as impractical and dangerous.  [More]
And only do that with a shotgun, firing through a door or off a balcony.

I repeat my question.

Follow the Leader?

“The government,” warns Mr. Burlew, “relied on there not being any right to own a firearm in Canada. Ownership is a privilege, and that has been taken more easily than it was earned by the over 100,000 Canadian gun owners affected.” [More]
Anyone believing that will ultimately lose.

We're the Only Ones Buzzing Enough

Protester Brings 'Riot Control Bees' to Keep George Floyd Protest Civil - Police Sgt. Dean Sukus insisted that law enforcement had “things under control here.” He told The Gazette that police asked Hoeft to leave, and he did.  [More]

Bullet Points


I have my beefs with National Review, but that doesn't invalidate everything they say. On that third one, how come so many ostensibly supportive of the Second Amendment don't seem to want to acknowledge its core purpose?

An Unauthorized Journalist

In explaining the ban, Pritzker said Jacobson had forfeited her status as a reporter by “taking an extreme position,” adding: “It’s not the way you act, it’s not the way your colleagues in the media act who are reporters. That is not a reporter. She represents a talk show that has a particular point of view. We allowed her to ask questions because once upon a time she was a reporter. But she proved that she is no longer a reporter.” [More]
And naturally, the guy with the political power gets to be the one to decide which viewpoints are acceptable and which journalists are authorized, just like the Founding Fathers intended.

A Time-Tested Technique

You may not punish the innocent merely because they share some collective characteristics with the guilty. Therefore, to hold all white people responsible for the death of George Floyd is as immoral, unjust and dangerous as holding all Jews responsible for the suffering of Germany following World War One -- precisely what Hitler did. [More]
So naturally, the national socialists call us Nazis...

Churn, Baby, Churn!


[More]
Ben & Jerry's? There's nothing quite like leftist One Percenters preaching solidarity with the "underprivileged," is there? I wonder how many people in "the community" can afford their overpriced artery cloggers?


So, have they got those carcinogens in product/farmworker exploitation allegations cleared up yet...?

A 'Progressive' Idea

Warning that "white supremacists may be infiltrating these protests, breaking windows and destroying property," Cortez encourages her followers to follow only the directions of "grassroots black organizers" who have been at this a long time. [More]

Toning Down the Rhetoric



[More]
The only one suggesting nukes is from the party he votes for in order to make sure the people being protested against are the "Only Ones" with guns.

I suppose nothing he owns will get sacked and burned, although I would like to know how racist white privilege means Justin is worth so much more...

And funny, how Twitter "community standards" allow the urging for the assassination of a sitting president to stay up...


Let's Hear It for Cheap Swamp Labor!

State Sen. Randy Feenstra defeated incumbent Rep. Steve King in Tuesday's Republican primary for Iowa's 4th congressional district... [More]
That sure makes the gun-grabbing subsidized corporate farm wing of the Dead Elephant Party happy!

Meanwhile, Ronna virtue-signals for the swamp, only to have "progressives" in comments once more demonstrate no amount of surrender will ever be enough to make them stop calling you a racist.

Hollywood Squares
