ATF Claims FOIA Request on Hunter Biden Gun Violates His Privacy

 

Would it be fair to suspect they know all about it and don’t intend to do a thing unless forced to? And had this involved an ordinary private citizen, they’d have posted all about it years ago? [More]

The Bart Simpson line comes to mind: "I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything!"

Ever notice the "best" bullies and child abusers are "professionals"?

So Much for Proper Prior Planning

 Allen Minish was alone and surveying land for a real estate agent in a wooded, remote part of Alaska, putting some numbers into his GPS unit when he looked up and saw a large brown bear walking about 30 feet (9 meters) away. “I saw him and he saw me at the same time, and it’s scary,” Minish said by phone Wednesday from his hospital bed in Anchorage, a day after being mauled by the bear in a chance encounter.

How could he not know better?

Wake-Up Call

 But until recently there were still a few institutions we considered sacrosanct, incorruptible, and invincible amid faith-based assertions, toxic woke fads, civil dissension, and hatred of the past. One certainly was the military. Another was “science,” or rather the scientists, researchers, and investigators who devoted themselves to disinterested empiricism. And, a third, was the sacred idea of the “law,” or the idea that Americans respect our statutes because they were crafted by ourselves and applicable to all, equally, and without exception. [More]

If by "we" he means those who have been sleeping at the switch, then yeah. 

In His Case, Nothing

 I’ve played back in my head endlessly what I could have done differently. [More]

Kind of self-limiting on options and foolishly repetitive, isn't he?

First Blood Redux

 “You trained me to become who I am, I am now going to use that against you,” the fugitive sniper reportedly wrote. [More]

I'm looking at what's happening here with "purges," recalling that rogue cop in L.A., and thinking this is a forerunner and we ain't seen nothin' yet.

A Cooling Off Period?

Since HB 1927 has been favorably voted on by both chambers, the bill now goes to Governor Abbott’s desk for signing into law. After being signed, the bill will go into effect on September 1, 2021. [More]

With all the outrage against this from rabid antis, am I wrong in thinking a lot can happen between now and September 1?

Qualified Impunity

 Democrats want to do away with the legal principle, but Republicans are fighting to keep it intact. [More]

As long as "the security of a free State" is off the table, I guess the wrong questions will keep being asked...

You'd think "law and order" types would realize that.

As Seen on Shannon Watts' Twitter Feed


Who thinks her demands will end with a surrender on guns?

And how is she an authority on "70s porno" music?

Because They're Totally the Same

George Will said on ABC's "This Week" roundtable that the Capitol riot on January 6 deserves to be "burned into the American mind as firmly as 9/11, because it was that scale of a shock to the system." [More]

This useful idiot is what the DSM wants Americans to think is a "principled conservative," which, of course, makes anyone to the "right" of that a racist terrorist deserving of a drone strike.

Interesting things you can "justify" with a little hyperbole...

Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho

 “Cobalt is a key component of every rechargeable lithium-ion battery in all of the gadgets made by defendants and all other tech and electric car companies in the world that has brought on the latest wave of cruel exploitation fueled by greed, corruption and indifference to a population of powerless, starving Congolese people,” the suit reads. [More]

Nice to see so many "woke" procuring corporations like "Apple, Alphabet (the parent company of Google), Dell Technologies, Microsoft and Tesla" on the list.

Curious, though, how their supplier gets a pass.
