CEO brandishes gun at Hispanic couple lost on his property [More]Based on what we're being told here, there is no excuse for this.
As we saw with the St. Louis couple, it pays to see what we're not being told before drawing conclusions.

Turn for the Worse
As we saw with the St. Louis couple, it pays to see what we're not being told before drawing conclusions.
So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye
This week has been a hell of a run, but today will be my last day on Armed American Daily Defense with host Mark Walters -- at least until he invites me back again.
The program starts at 4 p.m. Eastern and you can join in by finding a station near you or live streaming from the AAR website, or via Facebook, where you can watch Mark do the show.
Here's yesterday's conversation if you want to hear where we left off.
Good Only for the Goose
From Jim Simpson, via email:
At least it looks like Rick Wilson has risen again.
Dear Leader
The Governor is not just claiming unbounded power in relation to the Legislature. He’s now saying the judicial branch has no role in checking that power either. Courts should simply assume that any and all actions he undertakes are justified by the “readily apparent” threat of the pandemic. [More]Well, yeah. That's why they call them"totalitarians."

A New Declaration
But then there are dozens of proposals that, if implemented, would lead to civil war on campus and erode even further public confidence in how elite institutions of higher education operate. Some examples: “Reward the invisible work done by faculty of color with course relief and summer salary” and “Faculty of color hired at the junior level should be guaranteed one additional semester of sabbatical” and “Provide additional human resources for the support of junior faculty of color.” Let’s leave aside who qualifies as “of color,” though this is not a trivial point. It boggles my mind that anyone would advocate giving people—extraordinarily privileged people already, let me point out: Princeton professors—extra perks for no reason other than their pigmentation. [More]Now we get to see if he just committed professional suicide.

Garbage In, Garbage Out
In a new law effective July 1, Vermonters are asked to save leftovers like peels, rinds, cores, eggshells, coffee grounds and tea bags from the garbage, plus unfinished “plate scraps” like bread, meat, veggies, fruit, dairy, sweets, sauces and food that’s gone bad. From there, people are instructed to compost the scraps, coordinate a curbside pick-up or drop them off at a composting site. [More]What about all the diseases from fungus, bacteria, etc. that you, pets and wild animals getting into it can catch and spread?
Y'know, you can't handle "hazardous materials" on any kind of widespread scale without documented training including the use of Material Safety Data Sheets, and with proper controls to avoid exposure or to respond to that if it happens. Yet these environmentalcase mandarins are dropping this on people with no apparent regard for their safety -- including older citizens and those with respiratory issues who might not react beneficially to spore exposure and the like.
Composting can be good if you know what you're doing. If you don't, this seems as irresponsible as holding a gun "buyback" and expecting some widow who has never touched a gun to take the one her late husband left in the closet and safely (and lawfully) handle, unload and transport it to a collection location.

Crocodile Tears
City officials are becoming more and more alarmed at the level of violence thus far this year. [More]Not enough for the incompetent frauds to stop whining for more wealth transfers to "Cure Violence," though...

We're the Only Ones Excessive Enough
Following a comprehensive investigation, the Justice Department announced today that it has found reasonable cause to believe the Narcotics Bureau of the Springfield, Massachusetts, Police Department (SPD) engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. [More]That might explain why they're so particular with the permits.

Always Think Forfeiture
The complaint seeks to permanently forfeit 29 firearms from Braziel. [More]I still want one of those Leatherman tools.
[Via bondmen]
Persona Non Grata
I laughed out loud when the Fox News Booker lady called me back that time and said, "I'm really sorry for the confusion. I didn't know that you're on the Banned list." [More]I guess Patrick Howley's priorities aren't the direction Baby Murdoch wants "conservative" Faux News to go.
I wonder how much longer Tucker has.

Free Ice Cream, Cash and More!
Police should refuse to respond to emergency calls from there citing workplace safety grounds because she won't allow them to be properly equipped and they will not violate her property rights.Molly Moon’s Ice Cream bans police with guns, officers respond https://t.co/eyE7c9jFa4 pic.twitter.com/7U6X5K0p5x— Q13 FOX Seattle (@Q13FOX) July 9, 2020

Speaking of Disgusting
Penn State deletes ‘disgusting’ tweet affirming conservative students - Penn State Liberal Arts tweeted a message affirming diversity in various forms. This included an acknowledgment of conservative students and their viewpoints. After backlash from students and social media, Penn State deleted the tweet. [More]Not that this would register:

A Silver Bullet?
Interesting claim... [Watch]
Naturally, there is doubt raised by the medical establishment.
Thoughts?

Oklahoma, Where the Wind Comes Sweepin' Down the Plain
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday recognized about half of Oklahoma as Native American reservation land and overturned a tribe member’s rape conviction because the location where the crime was committed should have been considered outside the reach of state criminal law. [More]So if the "Constitution ... and all treaties ... [are] the supreme Law of the Land," and if that collides with the Bill of Rights, the rape victim loses?

A Full-Throated Response
Two arrested after coughing on Walmart employees, refusing to wear masks [and] A school worker lost her job after video showed her coughing on a baby in a yogurt shop... [More]I wish news reports would give more background information on suspects, like political sympathies.
Maybe We Can Start a 'Go Fund Me' Page
Robert De Niro says coronavirus decimated his finances [More]Gee, I feel terrible.
I mean, obviously, since he has a New York City concealed carry permit, he must be one of us, right?
But Some Animals are More Equal than Others
Mayor Bill de Blasio is permitting Black Lives Matter protesters to continue marching through city streets while canceling all large events through September. Speaking on CNN Thursday night, de Blasio said the demonstrators’ calls for social justice were too important to stop after more than a month of demonstrations have not led to an outbreak of coronavirus cases. [More]Collectivists, of course, being the arbiters of whose lives are important... same as it ever was.
I wonder if you or I would be physically attacked for wearing this t-shirt:
I wonder if some companies would be afraid to print one up, or if posting this picture would be disallowed on "social media"...
