A Blue Funk

 Cook Political Report moves Arizona to 'lean Democrat' in Biden-Trump race [More]

What, the state that gave us "conservatives" McCain and Flake...?

"It has long been predicted that Arizona’s political fate lies with a growing Hispanic population, which is about twice as likely to identify as Democratic than Republican in the state"?


Whose Lives Matter?

 Two Campaign Staffers For Ilhan Omar’s GOP Challenger Shot In Minneapolis, Suspect Arrested [More]

Funny: Anybody see a word of sympathy or condemnation?


We're the Only Ones Standing Down Enough

 Now that every police encounter that results in any sort of injury to a Black or Latino suspect that’s resisting arrest immediately becomes national news, leading to protests and potential criminal charges against the cops, we’re seeing police “standing down” to avoid a violent confrontation. [More]

Jump on the Pander Express and give those community heroes of the Aurora PD a raise!

Right, Rep. Hawley?

The Buck Stops Where?

 ‘Absolutely delicious’: Princeton president wrote that racism is ’embedded’ at the university, so the Dept. of Education will investigate (and HELLO BACKFIRE!) [More]

I thought the captain of a ship was ultimately held responsible for its "systemic" failures...?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Checks and Balances' Is

 Court Sides With Pennsylvania Democrats, Mail-In Ballots To Be Counted 3 Days After Election Day [More]

What does the law say?

I know, expecting separation of powers to mean what it says...

Sorry, stupid question.

One More Time!

 


Misgivings of some notwithstanding, Mark Walters asked me back again today on Armed American Radio's Daily Defense. It's on at 4 Eastern and you can listen in via the station list or live streaming linked at the AAR website, or join in and chat on Facebook.

Here's yesterday's program, archived for the future...

Two Wolves and a Sheep

 The Founding Fathers drafted a genius system to give the majority the power it rightly demands while seeking to protect the rights of those with far less political heft. [More]

That's not good enough for totalitarians, who by definition want it all.

The New Reality

 You behave according to traditional Western and Biblical jurisprudence, and then the unthinkable happens. You’ve been baited into a response.  Every action has been videoed.  A prosecutor charges you with some crime, or even decides not to. [More]

The lawless use the law against us. What they don't seem to realize is those laws protect them from us, too.

If self-preservation requires the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God to take precedence, you might want to think about ways of not getting caught.

Follow the Money

 The point person for the Fight Back Table, a coalition of liberal organizations planning for a "post-Election Day political apocalypse scenario," leads a progressive coalition that is part of a massive liberal dark money network.  [More]

So is anyone building a RICO case?

[Via Michael G]

We're the Only Ones Justifying Enough

 PATHETIC: Milwaukee Police Release Statement Attempting to Justify Their Arrest of Armed Trump Supporter Defending His Home From Violent Mob of BLM Thugs [More]

And note the intoxication standard-- using that, if you have the minimum amount needed to preclude driving and then are forced to defend yourself, you're the criminal.

Sounds of Silence

 

A shooting that Shannon Watts ignored (maybe because the victims were Republican staffers?) [More]

Having a painfully silent double standard is the norm.

[Via bondmen]


Revolutionary Times

I need to find time to watch this soon. Especially in light of this.

[Via Matthew L]

The Company They Keep

 Here's a Look at Some of the Thugs Kamala Harris and Biden Staff Helped Bail Out [More]

"Go with our blessings."

[Via Michael G]


The Best Laid Schemes

 

What happens if the US election is contested? [More]

This is the Kumbaya version.


An Act of War

I intuitively believe there have been several acts of war committed over the years that our government felt the need to suppress the truth about.

Useful Idiots and Their Money are Soon Parted

 College President, Students Promote GoFundMe for Sorority Girl Facing Charges of Arson, Rioting in Lancaster [More]

And the "progressive white privilege" continues.

[Via Henry Bowman]


Any Further Judicial Contortions and They'll Have Their Ankles Behind Their Ears

 The Hawai'i Federal District Court has issued an opinion in Teter v. Connors that guts the Second Amendment. The opinion holds that even if butterfly or "balisong" knives are protected by the Second Amendment of the Constitution, a state law banning any possession, manufacture or transport of such knives is constitutionally valid. [More]

This is just in-your-face, and the Ninth hardly fills the heart with hope. Neither does SCOTUS, for that matter, with its inclination to let Intolerable Acts stand simply by doing nothing. It doesn't matter how well-argued and logical a case is, those in "authority" bent on tyranny are not going to relent until there is a credible "or else" attached to a demand to back off.


Meanwhile, Over at 'The Newsraper of Record'...

 But the Times refused to print my letter to the editor. [More]

That's because they're the Duranty half of "DSM"...

[Via Michael G]


Behind Enemy Lines

 Conservative activist Lauren Witzke wins GOP Senate primary in Delaware [More]

Looks pretty good to me...

She's taking on an avowed enemy

From within enemy territory.

[Via Mack H]



One Step Forward, Two Steps Back


McConnell, the senior Senator from Kentucky, has long been a supporter of our Second Amendment rights. [More]

Who cares if his immigration actions work to longterm undermine them?

I'm considering the source.

[Via Mack H]


And Guess Who Pays

 Riots, Looting That Followed George Floyd’s Death Could Cost $2 Billion, Most Expensive Incident In Insurance History [More]

Obviously, they're not talking natural disasters, but rather, deliberate acts.

Tax slaves should demand reparations.

[Via Mack H]


Taliban v. Buddha 2.0

HELLISH DESTRUCTION Shock pics show how vandals DECAPITATED historic statue of Jesus on church altar [More]

So they want more than Confederate monuments...? And having been given Democrat political blessings to destroy those they're emboldened to demand more...?

Just like circling jackals thrown a scrap of flesh...?


Despotcito


CBS News had to use a photo from a Trump rally because virtually NO ONE was at Joe Biden’s Latino event! [More]

Who do these guys think they are, Rachel Maddow?

It's nice to see not all Florida Cubans have gone full Emma González, but I'm not having high hopes that the vast majority of (non-monolithic) "Hispanics" throughout the Republic will vote anything but Democrat.

[Via Michael G]

The Match Game

 Oregon woman holds suspected arsonist at gunpoint as wildfires rage ... When the unidentified man responds that he was “just passing through,” she demands to know why he’s holding matches.  [More]

What, they're not going to charge her with "brandishing"?
