It's Snot for Me to Say

What a way to end the week. [Watch]

We'll know it's true if Snopes doesn't come out with an "unproven" pronouncement.

Hate-Hoaxing White Powder Assailant Will Make Perfect Bloomberg Mayor

 

Sorry, but a “mistake” is where you’re adding numbers and neglect to carry over to the next column. This was a premeditated and evil plot that by all rights should have been treated as an act of terrorism, rather than with the prosecution — which had him dead to rights — simply charging McRae with “false information and hoaxes.” So much for “paying his debt.” [More]

If elected, this psychopath ought to fit right in with the MAIG crowd.

Systemic Entitlement

 This nation remains a place where racism is embedded in virtually every aspect of American life, resulting in unequal access to housing, healthy foods, justice and quality education, and health care. [More]

Name one realtor who won't sell to a home buyer who qualifies. Let's put him out of business.

Show me one grocery store that refuses to sell healthy foods to customers based on race.

Which crimes should courts give different sentences to different races on? 

Who's fault is it if education is not "quality" when the issue isn't the amount of money spent per student?

Name one insurer or medical practitioner that turns people away based on race.

He wants to talk about disparities? I want to talk about choices and consequences.

Methinks Michael Paul Williams wants everything handed over and paid for by those he despises with no accountability. Methinks he's basically a race-hustling communist and a wannabe enslaver.

We're the Only Ones Penetrating Enough

 The officer, Deputy Thomas Pierson, gave her a warning and sent her on her way. But minutes later, he pulled her over for a second time. This time, he sexually assaulted her. [More]

 Two police officers in Colorado were arrested Tuesday after disturbing video showed one of them using his gun to repeatedly hit an unarmed man on his head, choke him, and threaten to shoot him, as the man bled from his head and pleaded for his life.

Torpedo ... Los!

Today the Columbia County Court shot down “Everytown For Gun Safety”,  Mike Bloomberg’s New York Lawyers, and the usual gaggle of state worshippers and upheld the County’s 2nd Amendment Sanctuary ordinance, an ordinance the county commissioners hoped to torpedo. [More]

Oathbreaker-in-Chief Demands Oaths

“Anyone who does not attest to being fully vaccinated will be required to wear a mask on the job no matter their geographic location, physically distance from all other employees and visitors, comply with a weekly or twice weekly screening testing requirement and be subject to restrictions on official travel,” the White House said in a fact sheet on the new policy, which it released Thursday afternoon. [More]

Daily Defense Redux

Here's yesterdays' Armed American Radio conversation with Mark Walters. [Listen]

Another Fine Mess They've Gotten Us Into

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte defended his refusal to confront China over Beijing's seizure and fortification of his country's islets in the South China Sea ... But Duterte has a hole card: a U.S. guarantee to fight China, should he stumble into war with China. [More]

I'm sure the thought of Thoroughly Modern Milley being "the guy with the guns" fills the Chicoms with shock and awe.

But therein lies the problem.  Look at citizen disarmament edicts in the Philippines, and especially in Taiwan.

What did our Founders consider "necessary to the security of a free State"? Plus, why should "we" fight for people who won't fight for themselves, and especially at the order of a puppet Dotard-in-Chief (it's not like Congress would strap them on and declare war so that they as individuals could be held accountable for the results) who will only allow you arms if you're in his service?

Then recall Washington's admonition about "foreign entanglements."

It boils down to this: Would I be willing to die for this? Would I be willing for my sons to die? If my answer is "No," then I can't very well favor sending you or your sons to die in my place.

Well, I can, but that would make me one of "them."

Those who have undermined "America First" for their own greed and lust, including those who foolishly "vote" for the political avatars they bankroll, will make sure plenty do. And they'll be the ones to capitulate and try to switch sides when it's their precious hindquarters on the line because of how badly they have weakened the Republic.

"Peace through strength" is more than just a slogan.

So is "We will not disarm."

We Could Tell You, But Then We'd Have to Kill You

With something like this that so profoundly affects and endangers the lives of everyone, they -- and we -- shouldn't have to ask. That information is being withheld and that questioners are resisted and attacked tells us much about the character and intent of those who mean to control.

 Gun maker offers $33M to settle suit by Sandy Hook families [More]

The gun maker or insurers?

Additional notes on reflection: Prepare for the feeding frenzy that happens when sharks smell blood in the water. They may be trying to save themselves but they're serving up everyone else. Admitting that I haven't versed myself in this particular case, is it wrong of me to hope that, sensing weakness, the plaintiffs turn the offer down and demand more? I'm wondering if greedy lawyers making it too expensive to surrender may be the best option here.

Houses of Ill Repute?

 In a series of tweets on June 8, Virginia Heffernan, a Harvard-educated columnist for The Los Angeles Times, wrote: “Real-estate listings should include prevalence of gun-ownership in a 50-mile radius and number of annual mass shootings in the region. Time to change what a ‘bad neighborhood’ is.” In follow-up tweets she added, “…and introduce a meaningful tax on guns and gun violence. No one should say ‘this is a great place to raise kids’ about neighborhoods where even one person has an assault rifle.” The idea is to take “race, class [and] politics out of the real estate equation.” [More]

If we're talking L.A., I'd think Neighborhood Scout would provide a more relevant metric. There's no mention of how many houses Hefferman has sold to validate her real estate creds, but who wants to bet race and class aren't factors in where she's chosen to live?

On a side note, this is the first time I believe I've ever seen NRA link to one of my articles -- :

If a recent request regarding Hunter Biden is a reliable indication, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) claims it is prohibited from releasing its records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act where “the subject of the records request is a third party and a private citizen,” unless the person has authorized the release or the “public interest in the disclosure outweighs the personal privacy interests” of the individual.

I hope whoever did that doesn't get in trouble...😟

A Plan Comes Together

 Geltzer was more explicit on the administration’s link between gun control and quashing domestic terrorism during his interview with NatSec Daily. Asked if gun reforms were imperative to stopping domestic terrorism, Geltzer replied: “I think tackling things that feed into the domestic terrorism challenge is an imperative, and there are a lot of things that feed into it. Easy access to certain types of firearms feeds into it. But so does, for example, polarization fueled by disinformation. That can make recruitment to domestic terrorism causes easier and more likely.” [More]

 PANTS ON FIRE: Politifact defends Joe and Kamala, claims they never distrusted the COVID vaccine [More]

But they're generally so honest about everything else...

We're the Only Ones Deceptive Enough

 A Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputy is under investigation for allegedly posing as a defense attorney in a failed attempt to trick a woman and arrest her. [More]

Why do I picture him dressing like her Grandma and crawling into bed?

Total Recall

 "The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injury or death." [More]

It's settled science, we are told...

We're the Only Ones Withdrawn Enough

 Federal authorities have suffered two new court setbacks in their attempt to confiscate tens of millions of dollars seized from Beverly Hills safe deposit boxes that the government was legally barred from searching. [More]

In other words, they robbed a bank and haven't been arrested and charged?

They Livin' It Up at the Hotel California

 Congressman Eric Swalwell, 40, who was caught in a 'honeytrap with Chinese spy Fang Fang', spent $20K in Democrat campaign funds at the hotel where his wife Brittan worked, FEC filings reveal [More]

I guess "loyalty program" means to the hotel.

Nice of media puff pieces to refer to the Swalwell's as "the happy couple"...

Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts? Really?

Instead of prosecuting gun crimes to the fullest extent, to protect the public, Krasner, working the other side of the fence, gives every criminal a break who was caught with an illegal gun ... Under D.A. Krasner, the city runs a revolving door for defendants arrested for gun crimes. [More]

I don't like Soros DAs any better than the next guy, but this is where "enforce existing gun law" types lose me.

How about we just focus on crimes?

I speak as a long-time unindicted "gun criminal."

If a criminal has proven he can't be trusted with a gun, or anything else, what is he doing without a custodian?

Must Be the Gun's Fault

 

The man who went on a deadly shooting rampage Sunday on Tucson's south side has a criminal record and a history of "mental health issues," Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus said at a news conference Monday afternoon ... Scarlett, who served six years in prison for attempted armed robbery, was not permitted to possess a firearm, and police don't know but are investigating how he obtained the gun, Magnus said. [More]

So it had been determined that he could be trusted without a custodian before they let him out...? No?
