Speaking of Unity and Healing

Grenier, also a former CIA station chief in Pakistan and Afghanistan, grouped together “the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, the Oath Keepers, ‘Christian’ national chauvinists, white supremacists and QAnon fantasists” and claimed they are all “committed to violent extremism.” Grenier labeled dissenters an “insurgency” and called for them to be “defeated” like an enemy army. [More]

Itching for a fight, is he? Ready to bring the interminable "successes" of Afghanistan home, and "defeat" millions of traditional armed Americans like they have the Taliban?

I assume drone strikes on weddings will be OK?

He's really ready to declare protections of the law for his political enemies are no longer in effect? And it occurs to no adults in the room that relying on the counsel of genocidal maniacs can result in all kinds of unintended consequences?

Leftist Provocateurs Aren't Part of the Approved Narrative

I don't know if I should hand this one off to Gomer or the ETrade Baby...

But What About Our Favorite Stars?

 Chinese films are crushing U.S. titles, leaving Tinsel Town in the financial dust [More]

Fudd Busters

 In truth, with my workload, I just don't have time to sit through all the video tips I get every day. I pass these on because it looks pretty good from my surface look-see, and hopefully, they'll add value to your efforts as an advocate. [Watch]

Striking a Sour Note

CNN’s Lemon: If You Stand with Trump, I Don’t Want to Hear ‘Respect Police Officers’ from You [More]

Don't tell us, tell them.

And for the record, what people like me demand is police officers respect us.

Sacré Bleu!

Arsenal of Military-Grade Firearms Found in Paris Suburbs [More]

Zut alors! Mon Dieu!...

Time for a Charlie Hebdo redux?

And dig the accompanying video where "Republican" Brian Mast shows what a goddamned liar he is.

We're the Only Ones Entitled Enough

 St. Louis County police commander sues county for discrimination [More]

And thus perpetuate the "systemic racism" meme and the resultant resentment and "unrest" that's certain to get more minorities killed. In a Democrat-dominated area that crows about its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

Where the Only Ones Who Pay are the Productive!

 Councilmembers say they are pleased with the decision. [More]

Well, sure, why wouldn't they be? It's not their money and they're still in power.

[Via bondmen]

Well, the Thought of Forced 'Conversion Therapy' Certainly 'Deradicalizes' Me!

 In a recent Salon interview, former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi calls for a large-scale “de-radicalization approach” to “Trump’s political cult members” who have been radicalized “for the last four years,” while stating the need to “deprogram” those who believe that Joe Biden did not win the recent presidential election. [More]

But it looks like Frank & Co. still have some wrinkles to iron out.

Just to be clear, it's not that the left is against the idea of "deprogramming" per se...

Are They Accepting Volunteers?

Missouri County Passes Rule to Arrest Federal Officers Who Violate Second Amendment [More]

They're gonna need a bigger militia.

Keep It 'Family Friendly'

 

Just be organized and ready to shut down violent troublemakers and provocateurs and not get baited.

A Liability Sensitive Entity

But this isn’t just malicious behavior by Bank of America. It is very likely illegal. [More]

Tell me this was a felony, and the fascist snitches who did it will end up "prohibited persons."

Taking Up Residence

 Utah Axes Gun-Permit Requirement - State will allow residents to carry concealed guns without permit [More]

The article then goes on to say "The act will allow any law-abiding person over the age of 21 to carry a gun under his or her clothes while in the state."

Which is it?

[Via Michael G]

UPDATE-- Here's the bill and it says:
This bill:
26          ▸     provides that an individual who is 21 years old or older, and may lawfully possess a
27     firearm, may carry a concealed firearm in a public area without a permit;

Of Course They Did

 Report: Lincoln Project Knew of Weaver Allegations Months Before New York Times Story [More]

Everybody who is surprised that they're liars and cowards who hide when caught raise your hand. I won't be surprised to find the deviancy goes beyond the co-founder.

Mad Love for Anti-Gun Dem. Who Threatened to Make Black Life Spatter

 Democrats’ Newest Political Crush Is ‘Privileged’ Harvard Grad Who Pointed Gun at Unarmed Black Man [More]

And he wasn't arrested?

But don't worry. He's against you being armed:

I especially like the way he chokes up when he says "military-grade rifle round" and then try to whitewash his act of racist violence. What a douchebag phony. Naturally, Democrats love him as much as Teen Vogue evidently does, and we know what they stand for

Speaking of frauds, now that Toomey is going, will the PA GOP foist another closet Democrat on Republican voters?

Closing the Return Fire Loophole

 Mansfield man charged after opening fire at someone who shot at his home ... Tiggs was charged with “discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises” and booked in the Richland County Jail. [More]

Sounds like somebody went charge-shopping. Too bad for young LeBron that he doesn't sound like a James Duane follower.

The Gunprude

 Steve Huppert says he has nothing against the Second Amendment and people who own and carry firearms. But there’s an appropriate place for them, the Christiansburg councilman said. “People shouldn’t have sex out in the middle of Christiansburg,” Huppert said. “That’s how I feel about gun control. There’s a place for everything.” [More]

You're a special kind of idiot, aren't you, Steve? Care to tell us the places you can guarantee there will be no need for defense, and will you and your fellow councilthings personally back that up?


The DSM always seems to bring up prior military experience, as if that's some kind of free pass against having unrelated qualifications challenged.

#HireGinaCarano

Carano re-shared the following post on her Instagram story late Tuesday night: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?” [More]
That's a good and valid question, especially in light of Republicans being called "Nazis" by the same prominent voices ginning up the mobs.

So it figures she'd run afoul of Disney Family Values.

The Useful Idiot Party

EXCLUSIVE-Dozens of former Republican officials in talks to form anti-Trump third party [More]
I'm sure the leftists will happily give these losers/spoilers all the publicity they want, at least until they're no longer useful.

There's Nothing Wrong with Being a Culturist

How America’s Gun Culture Cultivates Civic Virtue [More]
That's the culture the domestic enemies are trying to terraform and cancel. As I've explained before:
I freely admit to being a culturist and an ideologist inasmuch as some cultures and ideologies have proven themselves to be superior at advancing freedom, knowledge, technology, prosperity, and human happiness than others, and those are the ones to emulate and build upon, not overburden and drag down.
This article isn't new but it's the first time I recall seeing it. Good observations from a man who proves to be the exception to the rule when it comes to immigrants favoring Democrat disarmament...

I've experienced firsthand what it's like to see the joy of introducing shooting to a foreign national from a place where guns are banned (a Japanese executive in my case) and to argue for the rights of people from all demographics and persuasions. About the only thing I won't "tolerate" are those who enjoy the right and then vote for those actively eviscerating it.

I do have one reservation about the piece: I wish he'd picked somebody other than The French Mistake to use for his example.

Bowed Boy

Proud Boys Member Says Trump to Blame for Inciting Capitol Riot [More]
And former "brothers" be damned! Give that low-hanging fruit sell-out trying to save his own skin a buffalo hat!

You get ignoramuses with surface awareness who go full fanatic, but when you get right down to it, they understand nothing. Kind of like the self-styled "Three Percenters" who have never heard of Mike, let alone read any of his foundational work.

Mission Impossible

"For 50 years, ATF has been making this square peg fit in the round hole," O'Kelly told CNN, "when, in fact, it doesn't." [More]
Nice to see an outlet with CNN's resources finally discovering the ridiculous rules contradict each other and are impossible to consistently comply with, something the rest of us with comparatively no resources have been pointing out for decades, generally after some poor victim of bureaucratic tyranny has had his life ruined.

It would have been nicer without the obligatory hysterical "weapon of choice among many mass shooters" intro in the accompanying video. Speaking of which, Lead Therapy breaks things down for us.

Lies of Omission

 And the Las Vegas Sun decided to sit on this information for a year. In Nevada. A battleground state that wasn’t called for Biden until several days after Election Day. [More]

They sure are interested in everybody else's ethics...

Fault Lines

 A member of Canada’s elite special forces counterterrorism unit was wounded last fall when a newly-purchased handgun, with a history of misfires and injuries in the U.S., inexplicably went off during a training exercise at an Ottawa-area range, CBC News has learned. [More]

Not so quick there with "booger hook/bang switch" conclusions...

I'm trying to decide if I care. Perhaps Mr. Benny can advise...

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

 A gunman with a history of threatening medical workers ... Ulrich, a longtime resident of Buffalo, had "multiple contacts" with law enforcement dating back to 2003 ... Police reports show Ulrich had made threats of a mass shooting at the clinic in October 2018 ...Ulrich's former roommate ... said he was not surprised when he heard law enforcement on television reveal who they had arrested as a suspect ... "He was creepy, give you dirty looks ... He had a blank stare all the time." [More]

So let's review the bidding: The grabbers admit they "don’t know all the details here with this particular case," so naturally, the "solution" is to blood dance their way to due process-denying disarmament edicts against people not proven guilty of anything, and leave those who can't be trusted without a custodian free access to whomever they wish to attack next. As if "laws" stop "prohibited persons" "adjudicated unfit to stand for trial,” like this maniac from getting guns in the first place... 

Did I miss anything?

UPDATE-- Apparently I did:

How does someone "adjudicated unfit to stand trial" get a "gun permit" instead of a padded room and meds?
