Speaking of Racist Hate Crimes
By Any Other Name
"FUCK TRUMP. FUCK COLONIZERS & CAPITALISTS. DEATH TO AMERIKKKA." [More]
It's telling that Wired refers to the victims as "far right" and to the Marxist criminal perpetrators as a "transparency group."
As the Culture Terraforms
He suggested he wants permission for 600,000 to 800,000 Mexican and Central American immigrants to work legally in the United States every year. [More]
So if we only "need" a million hired farmworkers total and there are already 11 million (more like 20+) illegals...
Something doesn't add up. Like the "reasons."
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"...
Blinding Us with 'Science'
But it’s a peculiarly extreme Republican that attempts to convince us that even with slaughter of entire elementary school groups in Connecticut, festivals in Las Vegas, a Church in Texas, a Church in Charleston, the list is endless, that we are to be convinced that more guns are the best solution while research shows the opposite. [More]
Well, I guess as long as she's linking to Scientific American...
Nice to see they also repro'd the Nature piece that had to end up printing an (incompete) retraction...

JOINT LETTER: GOA, DEFENSE DISTRIBUTED AND JSD SUPPLY REBUKE BIDEN’S ASSAULT ON HOMEMADE FIREARMS [More]

NBC Rushes To Explain Why Crimes Against Asians Aren’t Always Hate Crimes [More]
Their white by adjacency privilege can excuse a lot of offenses against them!
Then again, the reaction depends on who's doing the offending...

That's Incredible!
Far-right extremists are threatening to “blow up” the U.S. Capitol during President Biden’s State of the Union address next month in hopes of killing dozens of members of Congress. This, according to Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman who made the startling claim in testimony before the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday. The revelation came while justifying the need for keeping strict security measures in place following the storming of the Capitol building on January 6th. [More]
That they supposedly know about this yet no arrests have been made makes me think "provocateur-inspired low-hanging fruits with zero capabilities are making noises in CI-infested internet forums that our government heroes can exploit for headlines again."

Who Could Have Seen THAT Coming?
Miller was released from jail on something called an “I-bond,” which allows a person to leave jail without paying any bail as long they promise to return to court for their hearing. [More]
And what happened next, you ask?
If this doesn't highlight the need for more "commonsense gun reforms," nothing will.
[Via bondmen]
Not Exactly a Team Player
A member of the Oath Keepers militia group charged with plotting with other extremists in the attack on the U.S. Capitol disavowed the anti-government group in a court hearing Friday, telling the judge she is “appalled” by her fellow Oath Keepers and “humiliated” by her arrest. [More]
So she acted independently without any organizational direction or regard to Bylaws' membership requirements, and now says it's the group's fault and throws everybody else under the bus to save her own skin?
[Via bondmen]
We're the Only Ones Prioritized Enough
“The sentence handed down today will allow Elijah Moore to have three decades to ponder why he ever decided to shoot at law enforcement officers. Let this be a reminder to others who might ever give a moment’s thought of shooting at law enforcement officers: it’s a fast track to prison,” said U.S. Marshal John Jordan. [More]
Is the home invasion against "civilians" even an afterthought with these guys?
[Via bondmen]
Where the Only Thing Lower Than Our Prices is Our Level of Awareness
The thefts occurred between July 2017 and December 2018 and were discovered after ATF agents visited the store to review its fireworks "acquisition and disposition" records through which the sales of handguns are tracked. [More]
I know you're not supposed to blame the victim and all that, but what the hell is wrong with the oblivious owner?
And "fireworks"?
[Via bondmen]
Country Club Clueless
The Establishment GOP Still Does Not Understand the Patriot Movement...and Never Will [More]
Nor does it understand that the cheap labor it imports today will result in "free" labor tomorrow, considering the disarmed slaves this threatens to make of us don't have to be paid.

At Least Tell Me the Weinermobile is Safe.
After the gun group missed its January payments, the car company's credit arm asked the federal court handling the NRA's bankruptcy to force the group to cancel its leases. [More]
But...but...but Wayne was bragging they were really in fine shape, and the bankruptcy filing was just a ploy. Does this mean those of us who get the hard copy magazine won't be soon?
Hopefully, this is paid for. I'm also wondering who isn't driving their own car and if at least the rented ones are "economy"...
It doesn't occur to anyone that continuous management shenanigans make informed members not want to donate and that should be enough to induce some on the board to demand resignations? Name one who deserves reelection and make sure the reason why is directly related to board duties.
I wouldn't mind seeing Beverly Hill tailors repossess some of those suits...
What's In It for Her?
There must be an independent investigation - not one led by an individual selected by the Governor, but by the office of the Attorney General. [More]
Again? Sure sounds like there's something she wants.
And where's the tolerance for what Cuomosexuals consider to be playfulness?

GRNC Alert 2/28/20: Tell them to vote for the 2nd Amendment Protection Act [More]
If it weren't for domestic enemies in government we wouldn't have to.
The Marx Man
"The Marksman," a Liam Neeson thriller from Open Road, held onto first place for the second weekend in a row, grossing just over $2 million. The film has grossed $61 million after 10 days of release. [More]
And here I thought he was anti-gun...

A Hard Decision to Make
A family court judge, Nicole Zellweger, has launched an all-out judicial assault on Angela Freiner and her minor daughter who are refusing her order to make the 14-year-old girl return to the man who she says sexually molested her ... When the child refused to consent, the judge continued to threaten her with arresting her mother. “We can do it the easy way or we can do it the hard way,” Zellweger said. [More]
Sounds like the judge is guaranteeing a child will be getting regular exposure to the hard way.
Pun intended.

So when do the heirs of the Persians, Macedonians, Celts, Romans, Goths, Huns, Gepids, Avars, Slavs, Bulgars, Magyars, Cumans, Mongols, Ottoman Turks, Habsburg Empire Austrians, Poles, and Russians make us descendants of my ancestors whole?

Hell, I wouldn't mind playing with that. [More]

And Thank You for Your Service...
The Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act prohibits the VA from sending certain information on veterans or beneficiaries assisted by a fiduciary to NICS without a judicial ruling that they are a danger to themselves or others according to a release from Congresswoman Liz Cheney. [More]
Shouldn't that apply to all citizens and non-LEO government agencies?
And if they are adjudicated a danger with full due process protections, shouldn't they be under custodial care?
Forgive me for wondering if Liz Cheney is just trying to recapture reputation points.
Sorry, I don't mean to sound negative. Of course, such protection should exist. It's just that I have these other reactions and concerns.

Maher stated, “Liberals need a stand your ground law for cancel culture, so that when the woke mob comes after you for some ridiculous offense, you’ll stand your ground. [More]

Daddy Issues
The situation isn't dissimilar to that of a child who refuses to clean their room until a parent threatens punishment, said Dan Esty, director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and head of the Yale Initiative on Sustainable Finance. [More]
So it's a parent/child relationship? Dan's idea of what government is for and mine are existentially incompatible. Remember what Vanderboegh used to ask?
Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?Whose horses and hounds are they, anyway?

Playing the Percentages
Fact Check: Is Only 9% of Joe Biden's COVID Stimulus Plan Going to Public Health? ... The overall spending for public health is $400 billion, or roughly 21 percent of the proposed stimulus package. [More]
Then why isn't it a $400 billion bill?
Live Free or Cry
A Bristling Standoff Rattles Gun-Friendly Vermont - In Pawlet, Vt., where a landowner opened a tactical weapons training site, a zoning dispute has escalated into something more dangerous. [More]
Why, did the guy make actionable threats? It seems to me the ones going into hysterics are the ones who want to introduce the violence of coercion into the equation. And that "Fear has gradually spread into the town of Pawlett" opening tells us much.
Did the guy move in and deliberately violate existing zoning ordinances or not? Did he issue threats or not? How do we know some of those weren't initiated by the supposed "victims"?
It's not a matter of being "gun-friendly." Hell, any Fudd or fed can be that if we're talking about their gun.
It's a matter of being freedom-friendly.

It was just a matter of time before it escaped elite campuses, and who better to carry the banner than "progressive" librarians?
As long as we're talking about Seuss becoming persona non grata for targeting "Orientals," isn't it time we also "deported" this Nipponophobic illegal alien? Hey, did you know he could do this?
