Smile, You're on Candid Chimera

Pro-Lifers Arrested For Protesting San Francisco Hospital Transplanting Aborted Baby Organs Into Lab Rats [More]

Just making sure no demographics were "underrepresented"...

Hey, anybody know where we put those plastic sword toothpicks...?

Who but a racist and a hater could object?

Well, They Do Admit to Being Secret

 The U.S. Secret Service appears to be testing our FOIA resolve for reasons only its operatives can say.

The first bump was in its acknowledgment of receipt:

We weren't asking for information pertaining to me but to the Hunter Biden gun investigation -- our FOIA request is embedded at the above link and you can see for yourself. It is hard to conceive how this is a mistaken "misinterpretation" on their part and had we proceeded without challenging that, they could have just come back and said "We have no information on him" and we'd be absolutely nowhere. 

In other words, this is either grossly incompetent -- which ought to concern everyone considering what this agency is responsible for -- or it's a deliberate stalling tactic, meaning it has been directed.

Stephen corrected them and now they're screwing with us on a fee waiver, another stall, as I've got it in writing from the feds via various FOIA efforts of years past that they acknowledge I'm an "Authorized Journalist." 

Stephen sent them a response. Let's see what kind of creative stonewalling they come up with next.

Stay tuned.

The Enemy of My Enemy

This is an untold story that needs telling, even if briefly so. [More]

One of the reasons I adhere to Washington's warnings on foreign entanglements is that too often, "we" get people to commit to "our" side and when we leave, they're left to the wolves. 

In this case, Miguel Faria recalls an avenged ally. It's an interesting read.

Speaking of which, have you bought his book yet?

At Least We Know Whose Side They're On

No Twitter ‘Fact Check’ Warning on Chinese Official’s Fake Photo of Australian Soldier Beheading Child [More]

Does anybody else get the feeling there's a partnership going on a lot deeper than we know?

Splitting the Difference

Seattle experiment says no jailtime for crime, but has taxpayers split bill [More]

It sounds like they're paying for everything. Or does this mean "among themselves"?

I Wonder if He'd Laugh at a Church SHOOTER?

 Georgia US Senate candidate (Warnock) laughs at churchgoers who go to church armed [More]

There's every chance this subversive tool will "win." And anyone not stupid enough to vote for him will be called a racist.

I get the impression the child abuse card could be played a lot harder here.

My Kind of Town

 Twenty-eight people were shot, seven fatally, over the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago. [More]

Forget it, Jake. It's Chi-Town.

I'm starting to think our "deadliest threat" is an overblown paper tiger.

Another Child Falls Victim to Gun Violence

 A man shot and killed a 14-year-old boy who was attempting to carjack him Sunday in north St. Louis County. [More]

Family to demand his head in 3...2...1...

Keeping Things in Perspective

 Perspective: St. Louis Has 239 Homicides this Year and 238 Coronavirus Deaths [More]

So we should make gangbangers wear masks and enforce a 6-foot rule for opening fire?

No Duty to Retweet?

"People are already attacking me on Facebook saying I'm against the 2nd Amendment," she says. She clarified that homeowners would still be allowed to defend their lives, but not using firearms. Using a firearm to fight an intruder would lead to legal problems for the victim. [More]

That explains this.

No doubt she's a gun-grabber, but she's saying "No."

Here's the bill. Anyone familiar enough to parse the language and identify hidden pitfalls?

Before passing things along as true, I kind'a like to make sure first.

It's the Principle of the Thing

 Illinois officials allege sovereign immunity, seek summary judgment in $1 FOID card fee dispute [More]

"Not one cent for tribute" comes to mind.

And pirates, "official" or otherwise, shouldn't get immunity.

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

Close But No Cigar

 

 

​What are these "FFL's" of which you speak?

'Progressive' Covid Dilemmas

African Americans Disproportionately Affected by COVID-19 [More]

Then doesn't justice demand they be given vaccine priority? 

Except that would probably fuel rumors of being used as guinea pigs, and any subsequent deaths, whether resultant or coincidental, would become potential flashpoints.

And what do we do about the "undocumented"? If no person is "illegal," how would they not be given the same priority and claims to resources as citizens?

Because Nothing Says Competence and Subject Matter Expertise Like Genitalia!

Magnificent Seven: Joe Biden Hopes for History With an All-Female Communications Team [More]

I don't suppose a qualified male could claim discrimination? Not that one would want to work for Biden...

How many of the seven are "transitioned"? If "none," he's got some 'splainin' to do...

Feed Your Friends, Starve the Beast

Oregon’s political tax credit law allows you to donate to our PAC and actually deduct the amount you donate from any tax you owe the State of Oregon. [More]

Why give aid and comfort to your enemies when those resources can be diverted to bring needed supplies to your friends on the front lines?

To all of you gun-owning “Trump enablers” who are reading this, here’s a question you’ll need to consider: Do you intend to “go gentle into that good night”? [More]

Somebody take those scissors away before he hurts himself...
