NRSC Hiding Swamp Loyalties in Fundraising Appeals to Trump Supporters

Allowing Republicans to take us for granted is the same as letting them know they can betray us and suffer no consequences. And that only encourages more to jump ship. [More]

Too bad their actions so often don't match the fine words they use when they're looking for money.

Be Careful What You Wish For

 State senator who sponsored no-cash bail law in Illinois outraged that suspect who threatened him was released on low bail. [More]

You get the feeling Elgie ain't exactly a cause-and-effect kind of guy...?

An Either/Or Proposition

 The case against Derek Chauvin has collapsed. The prosecution wants to go full kangaroo court by suppressing the findings of the official autopsy, which do not support its improbable contention that George Floyd died of asphyxia rather than cardiac arrest. [More]

It's a simple cost/benefit tradeoff: Sacrifice the guy or get ready for a long, hot summer.

America's Most Botched Network

I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false. [More]

That's a nice way of saying they're f***ing liars.

Because They Know They Can Get Away With It

 Fake News Washington Post Publishes Hit Piece on Former Sen. Patrick Colbeck — Forgets to Mention His Witness of Massive Drop of Illegal Ballots in Michigan [More]

Yeah, but most readers will never know and to the victors go the spoils...

An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

 But he says it would protect gun ownership because the volunteers would use their own guns, ammunition and supplies. The equipment would become the property of the state, meaning the federal government could not regulate the group. [More]

Volunteer so the state can claim your property? That's not an AP misunderstanding?

How that differs from the Missouri State Defense Force, which cannot be federalized, is unclear.

Then there's this deliberate bit of misinformation:

Critics note Missouri already has volunteer state forces, such as the Missouri National Guard.

And those "critics" are counting on the average Missourian being oblivious to Perpich, Federalist 46, and Joesph Story's commentaries, and why that's not the same thing and has the potential to eviscerate Founding intent.

The Beverly Killbillies?

 Beverly Hills store let criminals stash guns, drugs and cash in vault at strip mall, prosecutors say [More]

If Americans weren't doing anything wrong, they wouldn't need privacy, right?

Eliminating Their Roach Problem

 Two area officials called for the ouster of Bi-State President and CEO Taulby Roach because of the security problems on MetroLink that he hasn’t fixed. [More]

The guy has been a witless douche.

Not that Ernie and Derrick will prove any more capable.

The Gordian Knot Solution

 ANALYSIS-Biden White House tries to craft gun executive orders that can't be undone [More]

Of course, they can be.

A Matter of Priorities

The FBI is very good at woke politics, not so good at catching killers [More]

At least I know that if I'm walking down a dark street at night, my greatest fear should be of Oath Keepers and Threepers.

And "John."

Unintended Consequences

 Biden’s COVID Relief Checks Help Spur Another Record Month of AR-15 Sales [More]

Just so we don't lose sight of the violence this does to the Constitution...

I guess as long as the name of the game is wealth transfers, it may as well be redistributed back into the private sector from whence it came...

ULLA SELLA, right?

4 Reasons Gun Control Can’t Solve America’s Violence Problem [More]

I'm not completely down with this. For instance, saying "Guns Don’t Beget Violence, Poverty and Despair Do" disregards all the people who gave experienced true poverty without welfare nets and did not resort to brutally victimizing others -- my grandparents and parents among them, who maintained high standards of morality and personal expectations and worked hard to care for their families, provide examples of principled conduct to their children, and elevate their stations in life.

What do you want to bet your average gangbanger "owns" a more expensive pair of sneakers and phone than I do?

I'm not going to give evil, "entitled" losers a phony excuse as an out.

Unamerican Airlines

 American Airlines said it is “strongly opposed” to a bill passed by the Texas Senate that would make it more difficult to vote and “others like it,” making it the latest major corporation to stand up to a push by Republicans to tighten voting laws. [More]

So I take it they'll refuse to disenfranchise passengers and condemn TSA for requiring government-issued ID before allowing them to fly?

Gun Violence by Criminal Results in More Gun Deaths

 “There was a government vehicle with an AK47 in it, so he broke in, got it and shot dead two al-Shabaabs [militants]. [More]

Enforce existing gun laws, right?

The Fruits of 'Victory'

... Kamala Harris would lead the effort to appoint very dangerous anti-American Leftist, Communist, Socialists, and Marxists to fill highly sensitive positions in the Washington Deep State Bureaucracy. She would fill all appointive positions in the US Intelligence Agencies, in the Department of Homeland Security, in the Department of Defense, in The Justice Department, the Department of State, the FBI, the CIA, most cabinet positions, the National Security Council, and in the White House Staff. [More]

No wonder no one in power wants us to look too closely at 2020 election fraud.

Say, who's up for an "assault weapon buyback"?

With Republicans Like These...

 The Strange New Doctrine of the Republican Party - The GOP’s version of freedom puts greater priority on right-wing cultural folkways than on rights of property and ownership. [More]

We've seen how much respect "woke" corporations give to free speech and there's no shortage of public and private "gun-free zones." And we've seen how destructive, petty, and corrupt Lincoln Club Republicans and their ilk have proven to be.

Leave it to David Frum to equate unalienable human rights with "folkways" and embrace the strange old doctrine of the Democrat party, where "property owners" could violate all kinds of them.

First Boehner in Politico and now Frum in The Atlantic... Who thinks "progressive" platforms giving exposure to Republiquislings isn't being done to advance the agenda of smearing everyone to the right of them as extremist domestic enemies and racists?

Who does he think he is, Rob Pincus?

"But wait," as late TV pitchman Billy Mays used to say, "There's more!"

And don't get me started on how Sen. Grahamnesty intends to nullify all his "good" votes.

This is really the best Republicans can do?

A Representative Voice

Pro-reform gun owner says he wants to see more background checks and restrictions [More]

I guess anyone dumb enough to get  their information from  ABC13 WBKO, "Your Hometown Newsleader," is dumb enough not to question whose voice "responsible gun owner" Matt Robeson really represents:


"Real reporters" are such dolts.

Dashed Hopes

MSNBC erroneously reported that Capitol attack suspect was a ‘White male’ [More]

This is my shocked face.

Curious, how Facebook also didn't want anyone to grok reality.

Hey, is it too late to change the narrative to he wouldn't have done it in the first place if white people weren't all racists?

UPDATE - Well, here's a narrative change I didn't anticipate:

Ilhan Omar tries to make car and knife attack at the U.S. Capitol about AR-15s

Which "ourselves and our Posterity" interests did it serve to welcome her from hellhole Somalia to attack the "Blessings of Liberty" here again...?
