Speaking for Biden at DNC will Complete Kasich’s Betrayal of Gun Owners

If Kasich is their benchmark for extremism, there’s no way these people are ever going to tolerate the existence of anyone to the “right” of him. But it is telling that the doctrinaire “left” knows better than to trust phony “conservatives.” The mystery is why any Republicans would be dumb enough to. [More]

Democrats are more than happy to let useful idiot "Republicans" carry their water for them. Funny though, how today's "reasonable moderate" becomes tomorrow's "uncompromising extremist" when it's time for a general election.

It’s Gonna Blow - Be a Miracle if it Don't

BLM is cocky, aware of its power, made overconfident by easy victory. It, and Antifa, have never met resistance. If things get really wild, though, they will. They will also find that food does not really grow in Safeway, and that a Safeway burned out does not necessarily return to be burned out again. [More]

Yep. Find out what they eat for breakfast.

The Old Protection Racket

Nice place ya got here. Shame if something happened to it... [More]

Good. Let 'em make more enemies.

The thing about these thugs is no one has really made them pay the price for their aggressions yet, so they are emboldened to expect more and more costless concessions. 

I wonder what they eat for breakfast...

Be able to answer that and a lot of the problems will go away.

The Lackey for the Laird

In the episode, NRA instructor and member Dezarae Payne describes how her husband, Paul Payne, from whom she is separated, has since the late 1990s worked secretly to tilt board elections in favor of LaPierre. Paul Payne has been an NRA employee, administrator of the NRA Members’ Councils of California, a state affiliate, and a liaison to LaPierre. [More]

Issues of a vengeful ex and Bloomberg's Trace credibility aside, what is being reported here does not surprise me. I was heavily involved with the Westside LA NRA Members Council in the 90s and had cause to cross swords with this lackey on more than one occasion.

Questions of Wayne's "leadership" effectively sidelining NRA could not have come at a worse time but he does not dare loosen his grip. And his strategically-placed (but expendable) "loyalists" know their fates are tied with his.

Well, I'm Back

It looks like the house is still in one piece. Being away from "the news" for over a week was restorative.

Old Business: It looks like in my hurry to leave for my trip that I neglected to advance the Kasich article I mentioned in my last post to "ready to publish," so it did not get posted on AmmoLand in my absence. I guess the "accident" excuse won't fly around here so I'll take the hit and cop to negligence. It should be out in a day or so. [It's out.]

New Business: I've turned comments back on. As mentioned before I left, I'm just not going to be able to get to all of the emails and social media comments and messages that have piled up. I've got a lot of catching up to do, including in meatspace, so continue to take it easy on me for a day or so and understand why I won't be able to process all the news tips received before turning the lights back on.
