What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

  A court on Wednesday approved a total of $800 million in payouts from casino company MGM Resorts International and its insurers to more than 4,400 relatives and victims of the Las Vegas Strip shooting that was the deadliest in recent U.S. history. The action makes final a deal announced earlier this month and settles dozens of lawsuits... [More]

Dare I suggest it is a bargain settlement to keep a lid on what they don't want coming out that has been completely overshadowed by "bump stocks"? And no, I'm just going to have to stay cryptic on this.

Missing the Point

 Black professor insists 'Proud Boys aren't white supremacists' as Trump takes flak [More]

You don't have to BE a racist. You just have to be ACCUSED of being a racist.

I thought everybody understood that.

Time for the skinfolk enforcers to destroy this heretic.

Well, There's a Surprise

 The Lincoln Project Attacks Barrett Nomination - Republicans Voters Against Trump oppose a conservative justice.[More]

This is my shocked face.

I really do have more contempt for them than I do for Democrats. If this is what the Republican Party devolves into, it will be dead, and not just to me.

I'm thinking that's always been the unstated plan.

Red Herring

 The President is blatantly urging his supporters to congregate at polling places, go inside, and ostensibly harass and intimidate voters. [More]

Oh, look, a new talking point!

Citizens have the right to watch for irregularities while they are there and report them to poll workers. I can't speak for all states, but here in Ohio:

Persons Checking the Official Precinct Voter Registration List - Any person may enter the polling location for the sole purpose of checking and taking notes from the Official Precinct Voter Registration List that is posted at 6:30 a.m. and updated at 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Such persons may not wear any campaigning clothes or accessories and may not interfere with or disrupt the election.

I recall doing the same thing in CA when I was working on a pal's campaign for state assembly. In that way, we were able to ID delinquents and light a fire under them to get them to the polls.

Herring just invited angry confrontation with everyone who is doing that.

And it's a government entity?

That's easy.

First, you get all the guns...

They're prepared for that, and for things getting up close and personal, aren't they?

An Added Layer of Tyranny

So a prior restraint is no longer enough to get you past another prior restraint?

Down to the Wire

 

It's not on "the news," so it must not be real.

No Headline about a Parade?

 Texas grand jury takes no action against man who killed church shooter [More]

Why would they?

The Job of 'Savior' Has Already been Filled

Where Is The Right's "George Soros"? [More]

I don't believe one exists because I don't think it is possible to rise to that level of financial power without being an economic fascist. Besides, if one did it would just give more an excuse to do less and we have enough do-nothing welfare parasites posing as advocates.

"I Need a Hero" is a song for girls who then get fat and complain about "toxic masculinity."

Forgive Us Our Trespasses

 St. Louis officials won't prosecute trespassing cases in protest on Portland Place [More]

What incentive would they have to do so, seeing as how the McCloskey defense would then be able to point to criminal conduct convictions?

Make no mistake-- this is in-your-face tyranny.

We're the Only Ones 'til Death Do Us Part' Enough

 A former Columbus police sergeant entered a guilty plea Monday in Superior Court for the 2019 murder of a paramedic with whom, he was having an extra-marital affair.  [More]

Yes, breaking up is still hard to do, but the professionals make it look easy. 

Who among us hasn't had a relationship they wished to terminate but lacked the superior training to ensure such outcomes?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Riot' Is

How very "progressive."

Not to worry -- I'm assured there will be no problem with votes mailed in for Democrats.

The Sincerest Form of Flattery

 Prager University Has Been So Successful That the Panicked Left is Now Trying to Copy the Model [More]

I thought that's what the DSM was for.

Funny... I wonder what "lies" Mike Gravel will be able to point out here...

I guess a "Libertarian" who views due process before grabbing guns as "insane" needs a place to feed, which makes fair the question: Who is the Astorturfer funding this?

Amy, ¿Que Quieres Hacer?

 They’re saying Judge Amy Coney Barrett would uphold the rule of law in our immigration system?  [More]

That's been my biggest concern.

Guerilla Lawfare

 After a child's accidental shooting death, Pennsylvania appeals court rules federal gun industry protection law unconstitutional [More]

I don't suppose these robed traitors central planner masters are interested in opening that Tenth Amendment door all the way up...?

The Bradys are behind this  -- just like the Giffords are behind the feint aimed at universal registration

Bottom line: Court appointments hinge on what happens in November.

We're the Only Ones Unsettling Enough

 "Family of man slain by Prince George’s police officer reaches $20 million settlement with county" ... Alsobrooks said the $20 million will come from the county’s budget and had to be first approved by the county’s budget director. [More]

So once again the productive sector pays for the actions of the "Only Ones".

[Via Mack H]

That's Debatable

 I listened to last night's debate on the car radio because I had to pick the Mrs. up from the airport. I heard a lot of lost opportunities, but then again, hindsight is what it is.

I noted a singular absence of the "single issue" from that back and forth, and seeing as how so many millions will be voting based on the right to keep and bear arms, I fully expect it will come up in a future verbal cage match. As such, I want to get this advice to the president in now (and since he will most likely never see anything I write, I hope those who have his ear (do these guys, really?) tell him something similar and that he listens):

Don't compromise. Don't accede that "red flags" are something we should look at. Don't cite bump stocks as an achievement.

Don't take fire out of bellies.

In the Midnight Hour, He Cried Mo, Mo, Mo...

 A 22-year-old musician has been sentenced to death after being convicted of sharing an insulting song about the Prophet Muhammad in a WhatsApp chat. [More]

So we don't get to hear it?

And do you think someone from his "faith" would get a pass on what Democrats are putting Amy through?

‘The Rock’ Redefines Anti-Gun Left as ‘Centrist’ with Biden/Harris Endorsement


Then again, we are talking about a guy who “rules the Chinese box office.” You don’t really think the ruling elites believe in the goals of the useful idiot street commies they’re exploiting, do you? [More]

Somebody's prepping for his entry into national politics. And he doesn't need to worry if some defenseless-by-mandate fans pay the ultimate price for his ambition-- he's got plenty more where they came from.
