A Superior Alternative

 Sources: Rep. Chip Roy Is Considering A Run Against Rep. Elise Stefanik For House Leadership [More]

I like his numbers a lot better than hers.

He's a lot better than her with "conservatives", too.

GOA calls him "the swamp's nightmare."

They don't mention her at all.

Why are establishment Republicans so eager to install her over the actually more "conservative" Liz Cheney? Anybody else getting the feeling we're being played?

Some Days an Anti Just Can't Get a Break

 After the victim, who has a concealed carry weapons license, obtained his gun the four suspects fled on foot. [More]

That's got to be doubly disappointing for the grabbers-- first that he was armed, and then that he did not go homicidal so they could smear all gun owners as dangerous maniacs.

And Right On Cue

AG Merrick Garland says white supremacists are the biggest terror threat to US [More]

And you know who he means by that.

Just String Together Some Nonsense Words and No One Will Know Where the Failure Really Lies

 Richmond Mayor Stoney says gun violence is a public health crisis [More]

So why are peaceable gun owners immune?

It Worked for Hillary

A letter from the president of the Arizona state Senate, which is conducting an audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Maricopa County, has a bombshell: County officials apparently erased an election database from a computer just before turning it over, under subpoena, for the audit. [More]

Don't worry. I'm sure any concerns are ...what's the word?... baseless.

A Line about Pearls Before Swine Comes to Mind...

Citizens's arrest Repeal in Georgia ...  Perhaps, since I bring a much needed contrarian point of view, my little letter may resonate with at least some of your readers. [More]

But, no surprise, The Georgia Recorder wanted nothing to do with thoughtful, comprehensive, and rational alternative information -- especially when it points out what they didn't say. And so they ignored it.

I'll put the educational and professional/editorial qualifications of Dr. Faria up against Editor-in-Chief Josh McCosh any damn day of the week.

Daily Defense Redux

DAVID CODREA joins the discussion. Is the NRA doomed? [Listen]

Here's yesterday's discussion with Armed American Radio's Mark Walters.

We're the Only Ones Droning On Enough

 The Chicago Police reportedly bought secret drones using drug money [More]

At least from what was accounted for...

Two Infringements for the Price of One!

 The legislation would require the person who is issued a protective order by a judge to report the type and location of firearms in their possession within a week. [More]

So they are forcing Americans not convicted of any crime to appear guilty and give up Fifth Amendment protections?

The More Things Change the More They Stay the Same

 IL House Dems advance red flag law which is designed to target new minority gun owners [More]

What would you expect to grow from these roots?

Delay of Game

 H.R.1961 - To provide procedures for appealing certain Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives rulings or determinations, and for other purposes. [More]

Introduced in March but they still haven't posted the text...?

Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing on Gun Violence Prevention

 I just did not have time to watch this the other day. I'm not sure how much of it I'll have time to watch now, but I wanted to make sure readers here knew about it and had a chance to see what was said:

I'm particularly interested in the testimony of former ATF tech Richard Vasquez, who was a thorn in the Bureau's side on "bump stocks," and who, as I understand it, is not being helpful to them here. 

One of These Things is Not Like the Others


Three commercials I recently became aware of caught my attention because of what two were required to provide and one was not. 

Like the song asks, can you tell which thing is not like the others?

Latuda and Dupixent spots both share side effect warnings.  How do they know? Because of empirical studies that have identified risks so that prospective recipients can make informed choices.

The "Come get your vaccine" commercial shares none of that because the studies have not been done. Instead, viewers are emotionally manipulated into identifying with the recipients by the use of the power words "commitment, confidence, trust," and "joy."

Mike DeWine confirms it's a game of chance.

And noted super-achiever Chelsea Clinton demands a global ban on posts like this.

Just sayin'.

UPDATE: Deaths & Coverup

[Via DvD]

UPDATE: 
People vaccinated against Covid-19 can go without masks indoors and outdoors, CDC says [More]
How will people know? Will there be penalties for the maskless unvaxxed? Is this a way to pressure and shame those who follow the guidelines and keep theirs on?

Sign of the Times

 Anti-Biden billboard angers local residents who are calling for 'vulgar' sign to be removed [More]

It looks like plenty of people want the sign to remain and the bellyaching, totalitarian-enabling, bluenosed harridans to go away.
