Yearning to Breathe Free Stuff

The one and only thing that makes America exceptional -- a beacon of liberty and prosperity to the downtrodden and poverty-stricken masses of the world -- is its Constitution. Naturally, America's enemies want to destroy the Constitution. [More]
Not that most attracted to that beacon see anything other than a "Giveaway" sign, which is part of the plan.


Wake Me when It's Time to Care, Part Two

Police Investigating Most Intense Death Threats of Michael Savage’s Career: ‘Die Motherf**ker Die’ [More]
Let the Jerry Brown supporter get one of those "assault weapons" he wants to make illegal for me to own.

Wake Me when It's Time to Care

The city of Berkeley is moving forward with a first-of-its kind proposal to replace police with unarmed civilians during traffic stops in an effort to curb racial profiling. [More]
I wouldn't mind seeing Berkeley do that with the entire department.

And sorry, to those of you throwing a flag on "civilian." Somewhere along the line, the word became more inclusive.

We're the Only Ones Litmus Tested Enough

The city council of Columbus, Ohio, is considering legislation to screen police officers for any connection to “hate groups” (including secretly harboring the beliefs of “hate groups”), citing the ever-so-reliable Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). [More]
Can't have members of the standing army refusing to obey unlawful orders...

It's Good to be the King

The protesters, many of them sitting on the lawn in front of Cameron’s house, were arrested without incident. [More]
So being AG he got a quick response with sufficient police presence.

It's not like he and his wife had to stand in front of their house with guns or anything.

We're the Only Ones Unsatisfactorily Subservient Enough

NYPD chief who kneeled with protesters in June was just injured by protesters at the ‘Stop the Violence’ rally [More]
He just didn't grovel low enough fast enough.

'Unconstitutional' -- Good One!

‘Flatly Violates Due Process’ – Louisiana Attorney General Says Democrat Governor’s Mask Mandate ‘Likely Unconstitutional’ [More]
Since when has that stopped anything?

Comin' to Think of It, 40 Winks Wouldn't Be Bad

To help resolve this chronic lack of sleep, Acosta and Sosa are calling for rest as reparations. Yes, they're looking for an ease to the many burdens that might prevent Black people and people of color from sleeping like systemic racism, socioeconomic struggle, and more. But they're also looking for the opportunity to rest and have leisure time — time that will allow people to dream and heal. [More]
For some reason, Li'l Abner's job as a mattress tester comes to mind.

Teen Vogue again?

Don't these people have anal sex and boyfriend loopholes to concern themselves with?

We're the Only Ones Resentful Enough

National Association of Police Organizations President: Vote to Endorse Trump ‘Overwhelming’; Biden Passed on Chance to Talk to Us [More]
That was the reason? They were butthurt?

It's Not What You May Think

But on Monday, July 13, those aspirations were cut short when gunmen opened fire at the Nissan Rogue both he and his best friend were riding in. [More]
Let me guess: Old white guys committing suicide missed?

Hey, I'm just trying to avoid a fallacy here.

We're the Only Ones 'Our Bad' Enough

LMPD SWAT team raids vacant home, handcuffs wrong couple days after suspect already arrested [More]
That's three for three!

And nobody's been arrested, let alone fired...?

I Got Your 'We Story' Right Here

‘We Stories’ engages White families to change the conversation around racial equity in St. Louis [More]
Why, are they the ones doing this?

Besides, they don't want to hear from all white families, like those racists who view common manners and ethics as the norm. No, there's a particular subset they're looking for to help advance a narrative...

And by "racial equity," they mean "communism."

Getting the Lead Out

Congressman Lieu introduced the H.R. 7547, the Lead Endangers Animals Daily (LEAD) Act. [More]
This again (and don't ask me where they got "Smut and Porno" in the "More Articles of Interest" box from).

It's too early to get any useful information from GovTrack, including the text of the bill and the prognosis of it passing, which I suspect will be close to nothing now (he's making noise for headlines) but could change dramatically depending on what happens in November.

The Actual Target

The actual target of this treasonous and juvenile temper tantrum, aided and abetted by the credulous buffoons in the media, is not Donald Trump.  It is the citizenry and everything this nation stands for and has accomplished in 244 years, so that never again will the people insolently reject the Marxist/socialists as they did after Obama, when the left stood on the brink of permanent domination. [More]
Pretty much.

If It Weren't for Double Standards, They Wouldn't Have Any Standards at All

While currently homeless, Mitchell was nevertheless a longtime resident of Clackamas County. He received mail, including a government stimulus check, at a Clackamas County facility and met every other qualification. Clackamas County denied a renewal for him based on their position that he was not legally a resident of the county. [More]
You can bet Oregon Democrats wouldn't squawk if the homeless wanted to vote.

A Different Gun Quack Tack

States across the country continue to introduce extreme risk protection order policies—so called “red flag laws”—which allow for the removal of a firearm from those who may be at high risk of harming themselves or others. These policies are not designed to be punitive in nature... [More]
How they're designed and how they can be used are often two different things. And that can go double for the elderly.

"The law" applies in all cases. And that can't be legitimately invoked without full due process.

Crying crocodile tears over old white men committing suicide is a tack the grabbers are making such "progress" on, they even use it as an excuse to deflect away from urban homicides.

It figures "The Hero of Medicine" is one of the "authorities" behind this perversion of science and medicine.

We're the Only Ones Brought to Our Knees Enough

When Sheriff Mina took a knee with demonstrators during the protests last month, some of his deputies were disappointed. One made a comment in the union survey, “ You knelt with the same protesters/rioters who were hurling insults and bricks at us for your own political gain." [More]
Anyone who takes a knee to appease the mob might as well take two, which would not surprise me is a prerequisite for advancement to the upper ranks of law enforcement.

The Properties of Hate


[Open in new tab]
The museum teaches black people that being on time for work is racist oppression. [More]
Going through the list, it appears they consider conducting ourselves like responsible human beings and expecting the same from those we choose to associate with to be racist. It also appears they really are saying expecting such standards from non-whites is as unreasonable as it is hateful.

And here I've been operating under the racist "Do unto others" delusion all these years...

I wonder how Lonnie measures up against the chart...

Maybe they're just remembering how strictly the clock was kept at the sandstone quarry.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Common Sense' Is

So, the mayor (Moms Demand/Everytown ally) will be under investigation, and former LMPD Chief at the time of the murder (also a Moms Demand ally) will be subpoenaed in relation to Breonna’s death at the hands of his officers.  [More]
So does that make her killing "common-sense gun violence"?

Hogan’s ‘Big Tent’ Will Crowd Out Gun Owners


It’s no accident that Hogan is getting face time on Meet the Press. The Washington Post has been portraying him as a “lead GOP voice” for the handling of the state’s COVID-19 response. And no less an enemy inside the gates than Bill Kristol floated him as a presidential challenger. [More]
With Republicans like him, who needs Democrats?
