That's Gratitude for Ya

“They stood there repeatedly shooting at him,” Burnham said. “They shouldn’t have did that.” She and Fleming were together 15 years and have two children together. “So now they gotta live with no father,” she said. [More]
That they would otherwise have ended up living with no mother does not seem to be up for discussion here.

'So…You Voted for Biden, Ah?'

 First and foremost, let me just say at the outset, I blame every single one of you for all that I see going wrong in our great nation today. [More]

Being a useful idiot does not excuse citizenship malpractice.

Speaking of 'Systemic Racism'...

High school program sponsored by several NY colleges does not allow white students to apply... Five of the nine schools participating in the program — including Medgar Evers College, SUNY New Paltz, SUNY Oswego, the University at Buffalo, and Westchester Community College — are public universities funded by New York state. [More]

That's funny-- the Department of Justice doesn't seem to be interested in this for some reason. Let's see if we can change that.

UPDATE:


Examining the Innards

Reeves & Dola does a deep dive so we can better understand the machinations ATF is using to "justify" its latest proposed infringement.

A Part III will be forthcoming.

Their Share of the Blame

 Guilt for January 6 Belongs With Those Most Eager to Condemn It - George Will, Peggy Noonan, and other estimable friends bear a heavy responsibility in the disaster that has now been riveted on the backs of the American people and the world. [More]

Good overall analysis... I just don't get why this guy still wants to be friends with them.

 West Virginia To Give Away Guns As Incentive For COVID Vaccine [More]

The guns they're giving away may provide a clue as to who this would most strongly incentivize...

Another 'Progressive' Opposite Day

Academic Study: Gun Turn-Ins (“Buybacks”) Increase Crime committed with Guns [More]

True, but decreasing crime was never the intended goal of the men behind the curtain.

One More Factor to Add

Gutowski on NPR: Two Factors Will Determine the Future of the Gun Debate [More]

I don't see "Killing men like me" on the list. Besides, it's not about guns, it's about freedom, and that's not debatable.

The Entitled Political Hypocrite Loophole


Nikki Fried Announces Her Candidacy for Governor of Florida ... She boasts that she holds both a medical marijuana card and a concealed-weapons permit. [More]

And no one reported this gun-grabbing hypocrite to ATF? Or more like they know but have been instructed to look the other way?

How about everybody else getting the same "courtesy"?

Maybe that's another question Senate Republicans should ask David Chipman.

Armed American Radio Redux

Mark talks with David Codrea and Chris Chiafullo from FFLGuard about the looming problems dealers will face with Chipman at head of the ATF. [Listen]

It took a minute or two to get through some live radio technical glitches, but things were soon back on track and I thought we managed to get some good information out there.

I actually prefer to watch the show on Facebook, but can't do that and work at the same time, so I listen to it playing in the background.

Everything You Know is Wrong

 I am no expert on epidemics. Like everyone else I know, I spent the pandemic doing as I was told. A few months ago I even tried to talk a Fox News viewer out of believing in the lab-leak theory of Covid’s origins. The reason I did that is because the newspapers I read and the TV shows I watched had assured me on many occasions that the lab-leak theory wasn’t true, that it was a racist conspiracy theory, that only deluded Trumpists believed it, that it got infinite pants-on-fire ratings from the fact-checkers, and because (despite all my cynicism) I am the sort who has always trusted the mainstream news media. [More]

Now let's talk about stolen elections.

Or "systemic racism."

Or "immigration."

Or "tolerance."

Or guns.

Or...

The DSM: Is it any wonder I love them so?

And that "political earthquake" will be all talk. The elites have seen China's monolithic military posture and our emphasis on diversity being our strength, and the last thing they want is to admit reality and treat things with actual resolve.

Say, you don't think this post may violate any "community standards," do you...?

Fighting Fire with Fire

An off-duty Los Angeles County firefighter fatally shot a fellow firefighter and wounded another at their small community fire station Tuesday before going to his nearby home, setting it on fire and apparently killing himself, authorities said. [More]

Don't they make these guys go through background checks or something...?

A Role Model for Our Time

Rapper DaBaby was allegedly involved in a shooting in Miami’s ritzy South Beach, where two people were injured in a street gun battle, according to multiple sources. [More]

Because Black Lives Matter.

Just ask these guys.

Does anybody else sometimes get the feeling that maybe the problem really isn't "systemic racism" on the part of those being canceled over accusations of it...?

Bordering on Treason

That the political class not only allows this but deliberately ensures it speaks of nothing less. [Watch

♫ New York, New York... ♫

 

♫ It's a wonderful Town! ♫

UPDATE: I saw a comment under the Twitter post saying the above footage is from last year. Perhaps the people in the video have had time to reflect on constructive ways to petition for redress of grievances and we can all now get along. 

Real Reporting

 Sources also told 7 News Belize that the dead cop’s Glock had a trigger safety built into it, describing an accidental discharge as almost impossible. [More]

Thank goodness they didn't entrust this story to #justablogger.
