Well...Bye



Not really, but I am getting out of here for a while and will be back around Aug. 3 or thereabouts. Feral sons Uday and Qusay will be let out of the basement to prowl the house until then and hopefully won't run out of intruder bones and escape.

I've turned off blog comments because I won't be moderating. Please hold all email and social media tips as I just won't be able to get to what accumulates when I return.

I do have two more AmmoLand articles due out soon-- one on Lori Lightfoot and Chi-Town (UPDATE: Just published), and the other on the always-wretched John Kasich. You can look for them on my "landing page" and do the same with Firearms News columns you haven't seen yet.  As always, if you get value from any of them, send the links to anyone else you think may get the same.

Be seeing you.

UPDATE: This was recorded a few weeks ago and just got released:

So the Houston Chronicle has gone full AP?

I was going to focus on the story but calling out this new "standard" whenever I see it seems of more general importance than allegations that have the distinct odor of setting up an easy mark.

Anyone Who's Not a Democrat is a Racist

Joe Biden calls Trump the country’s ‘first’ racist president [More]
Seeing as how Trump is an avatar for those who supported his 2016 agenda, Joe Biden is parroting the antifa/bLM* smear that anyone opposed to a communist takeover is a racist.

* I'm going to start spelling it that way "thanks" to AP.

Schools Are Closing Not Because They Should, But Because They Can. [More]
Don't get me started on public schools.

I've Heard of the Camel's Nose Under the Tent


What about Kamala's face...? [More]

I know, catty.

And hypocritical, seeing as how I've been treated by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon.

No Safe Space

A civilization that can achieve this is what the destroyers who create and achieve nothing are trying to tear down. [More]

Tangentially related: Leave it to bureaucrats with a budget to not have an original idea in their heads.

Speaking of which...

Blast from the Past: Vanderboegh on Black Lives Matter

So before you wear a slogan like THAT," (and I pointed at his shirt), "you'd better think this shit through. [More]
It's as timely today as it was five years ago, if not more so.
