We're the Only Ones De-Pressing Enough
(Deliberately) Unclear on the Concept
"We only started banning machine guns from civilian hands in the 1980s," Winkler said. "Does that mean that there's a constitutional right to have machine guns because there's no strong historical precedent for banning those weapons?" [More]
I guess if you want to talk your way around it you can convince yourself that NFA '34 was not technically a "ban." More to the point, there is no Constitutional authority for banning those weapons or for creating unalienable rights, and Winkler knows that.

Speaking of Disenfranchising Voters...
Clinton-Appointed Judge Rules Ohio Must Allow For Multiple Ballot Drop Boxes [More]
Here's hoping an immediate challenge overrules this robed traitor.
As someone who works the polls in Ohio for the express reason of ensuring the proceedings I help with are fair and honest, allowing this will make me reconsider if it's worth the commitment, the work, and the hours.
The saboteurs had best think long and hard if they really want a critical mass having good reason to feel cheated by the results.

Goodbye Columbus
The Wrong Damn Metric
Virginia gun sales in 2020 soar past record: ‘It’s a year like no other’ [More]
So what? You've got an anti-gun Democrat government and none of your "gun rights leaders" are interested in admitting the big reason why that is, let alone forming any kind of grassroots strategy for dealing with it.-- even with The New York Times rubbing their faces in it.
It's not about guns. It's about freedom.
That's got to be more than just a catchy slogan.

Life in the Technocracy
A WIRED analysis finds roughly 95 percent of contributions by employees of six big tech firms have gone to Trump's Democratic challenger. [More]
They'd better hope the lights don't go out.
The New Reality
Altered Zamak
The McCloskeys initial lawyer, Al Watkins, said that Patricia McCloskey knew that the handgun she had was inoperable because it had been used as a prop in a past lawsuit against a gun manufacturer. [More]
How they could determine evidence tampering before it was officially evidence beyond a reasonable doubt tells me this is just spaghetti being thrown against the wall to see how much sticks. That said, WTH on the gun manufacturer lawsuit, and if it means what I think it means, why would I care if they end up being hoist on their own petard?
And what are rich people doing with a Bryco?

I Wonder if She Floats*
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed during an interview on her new podcast last week that young people are leaving Christianity because it has become too “judgmental” and “alienating.” [More]
Whereas what she immerses herself in is so liberating!
Hey, if black lives matter so much to her, how come she gets the same question that I asked Yelp?

We're the Only Ones Resigned Enough
3 out of 4 Winfield Police Department employees resign [More]
Well, at least they won't have to worry about defunding them...
Hey, what'll they do if they find they don't really need "community heroes," and the most noticeable impact is the loss of speed trap revenues?

Rapper Tory Lanez charged with shooting Megan Thee Stallion [More]
That's OK-- she was insured.
I don't suppose we could draw any wider conclusions about why some communities have more difficult times than others from the values we see emulated and rewarded here...? Or is asking that racist?

Across the Board
My guess is you were approached by some type of lobbyist that represents a larger organization determined to alter our entire education system and use our kids and more importantly to you, our tax dollars. This school board wants to bring in radical ideologies embraced by BLM & Antifa. [More]
Pretty much.
Have you researched the backgrounds of your school board members to see how many aren't apparatchiks and stooges?

An Incomplete Response
So How was the Food?
... Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page ... [More]
Over accusations. What could go wrong?
Great way to cancel someone who hasn't been found guilty of anything other than not taking a knee to communists. Meanwhile, they give race-based preferential competitive advantage treatment to non-whites.
I note their blog does not invite comments. Push back anyway.
I wanted to ask them how come I don't see one identifiably black face among their corporate "leadership."

Gee, and I'd developed such respect for these guys...

The Wrong Questions
But there was one very important topic that was nearly totally ignored. The moderator, in fact, asked no questions about it. That topic was immigration. [More]
I Guess They're Right-- All Lives DON'T Matter
Shocking video out of Texas shows a pair of Black Lives Matter agitators trespassing onto a Mexican family’s birthday party and destroying their property. [More]
In truth, I don't see proof of a BLM connection aside from a pretty good presumption that the aggressors are probably sympathetic to it. This could just be a dispute with entitled neighbors acting like @$$holes.
Either way, it would be nice if the victims here had connections who don't take kindly to their people being bullied like this.

All Taqiyah and No Hassawi
Proven Cheater Doesn't Trust You
Military legal experts say Democrat North Carolina Senate candidate Army Reserve Lt. Col. Cal Cunningham’s recently-disclosed extramarital affair with a veteran’s wife indicates he could be a huge security risk because of the potential for blackmail. [More]
What gets me more is this self-control-challenged reprobate presuming to use the law to force outside control on the rest of us.
Not that that bothers Democrats none...

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise
Is this what this country's come to? [Watch]
I get the feeling the same subjects asking this now didn't see a connection when the government was outlawing guns. Many of them sneer at any connection.

White Christian Republican Appointee of Evil, Racist Trump Wins Nobel Prize for Feeding Africans
In honoring the U.N. food program, the Nobel peace committee was highlighting the need for global solidarity and multilateralism at a time of increasing polarization and go-it-alone nationalism. [More]
And we know what that means.
And note the prize is for trying. World hunger will exist as long as the collectivist tyrannies that form the brunt of the world body suppress capitalism.
Huh-- no mention of the fact that the president had received nominations, plural, for actually doing. The DSM is too busy sneering at the unimportance of that.
Everybody knows who appointed the guy who did win though, right?
Funny how so many leave that out and focus on nominations when it suits them.
