“Progressive” elites have created monsters that only know how to destroy, and history shows the only way to control them is with more terrible monsters. The various radical factions in the French Revolution (hey, the commies are the ones reminding us of guillotines) weren’t interested in sharing power with each other, and the result was the Reign of Terror. Ditto for the Russian “revolution,” and the purges and carnage that came with it. [More]Note the word "liberal" in the title on the AmmoLand site was added after I submitted this for publication.

For Immediate Correction
I misread something and screwed up a sentence in my "Republicans for Biden" piece. I've asked the editor to make this immediate correction:
Another group of Quisling Republicans helping with the Democrat coup is “Republicans for the Rule of Law,Confession may be good for the soul but it's still embarrassing as hell. When you work without a net, falls hurt.prominently represented by[running a billboard campaign to pressure] Reps. Greg Walden, Mac Thornberry, Fred Upton, Brian Fitzpatrick, Adam Kinzinger, John Katko, and Martha Roby. [Note: I apologize for my lined-out error.] It’s curious that a group of “lifelong Republicans” includes among its leadership a prominent Obama and Hillary supporter.
It's What Jackboots Do
Socialism Must Be Crushed— Or It Will Crush Us: Democrats Push Socialist Agenda Without Restraint [More]Sounds like somebody's channeling Aaron Zelman over there. Good.

The No-Win Scenario
Speaking of Padding Statistics...
Metro Police tell us the homeowner, a 72-year-old man, returned home to find an intruder inside the residence. The homeowner then reportedly shot the intruder. [More]That's one more for the "gun violence" column...

We're the Only Ones Pleading Enough
After 2 officers shot, Kansas City police chief pleads for community to work together to stop the violence [More]Have you ever known a relentless enemy intent on destruction who wouldn't be moved by such a gesture of conciliatory outreach? As opposed to being emboldened by signs of fear and weakness...?
[Via bondmen]
Courage2Snitch
As students in Missouri head back to the classroom in August, there’s an app they can download that allows them to anonymously report bullying or a threat. It’s called “Courage2Report.” [More]I didn't see any safeguards to discourage lying about it.
And will they act on reports about the biggest school bullies of all?

Today's Low-Hanging Fruit Report
A St. Peters man is in custody after local law enforcement and ATF agents found self-made grenades, mines, and other explosive material at his home. Authorities believe he was going to target protesters affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement and others. [More]Every once in a while they need a "gimme" headline to keep the narrative going.

Speaking of Transparency in Government...

The Founding Gender Fluid Non-Binary Parents

Holy Toledo!
Federal agents charge four Toledo city council members in bribery probe [More]And they all have something in common:

The Obvious Solution
Jellystone Injustice
Going to National Parks Is Racist, Declares ABC News [More]The racists want to camp, we'll give 'em camps!
Everybody knows the premise of Yogi Bear is racist too...?
He's a bear of brown color represented as an intellectual anomaly for a mentally deficient demographic ("smarter than the average bear") and his primary traits are laziness ("he will sleep 'til noon") and thieving dishonesty ("he'll have every picnic basket that's in Jellystone Park"), plus he's dominated by the white authority figure of Ranger Smith.
I'll bet if you introduced that to a Marxist academic with an ax to grind (but I repeat myself 2 ) you could get a paper out of it.

Maybe It Was a Confederate Elk
RACIST ANIMALS: Leftist Mob Sets Statue of An Elk Aflame, Burns it Down [More]The object is destruction and chaos, wherever it can be "achieved."
What will all the "greenhouse gasses" burning things down put into the air, you gotta wonder why the environmentalcases are as silent about that as they are about "undocumented" despoiling of the land.
And what have we learned about cultural Marxists ignoring their central pretext when there's a more important agenda priority to exploit?
It all ties together.

Speaking of Dead Elephants
Hundreds of elephants found dead in Botswana [More]Maybe they were killed by Denisovans with rocks.
But my money's on "leaders" of The Lincoln Project.
Life in the Snuffocracy
The case can be made that the mob has won already. People have gotten away with massive demonstrations blocking roads, highways and parks. [More]Remind you of anyone...?
Turnabout Verboten
NFL to play Black anthem before national anthem [More]I wonder how the mob will react if an individual, be it player or fan, refuses to stand or takes a knee. Forget ruined careers: They'll be lucky to make it out of the stadium alive.
NFL?
Do any gun owners who aren't total Fudds or kapos still go to these things?
UPDATE (via Laocoön): Some much-needed perspective:
