The Better to Smear You With

 White House seeks $100 million to help DOJ fight domestic extremism [More]

They sure are trying hard to conflate those who believe in the Bill of Rights and Constitutional limits on government powers with haters, nutjobs, and low-hanging fruit.

With money appropriated from citizens who actually earned it...

We're the Only Ones Driven Enough

 Off-duty police officer arrested in Murfreesboro for road rage [More]

If only he'd waited 'til he was on duty...

New Lies for Old

 

Everybody sees what they did here:

"The gun is functioning exactly the way the military model is in semiautomatic." [Emphasis added]

They're executing Josh's "public confusion" plan nearly flawlessly here. How many MSNBC viewers know (or care) that they're being deliberately manipulated?

Besides which, "weapons of war" are exactly what the Founders intended.

Up the Down Staircase

 OSU students furious after university reports Black-on-White 'hate crime' [More]

What the hell are these racists doing capitalizing "white"?

You'll Never Get Rich by Diggin' a Ditch

 Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships, firing ranges and other places where they were used, stored or transported. These weapons of war disappeared because of unlocked doors, sleeping troops, a surveillance system that didn’t record, break-ins and other security lapses that, until now, have not been publicly reported. [More]

Not "because of corruption and incompetence?"

Hey, at least they're inclusive.

Haha! Good one!

Having It Both Ways

 Stacey Abrams: ‘The Insurrection Is Continuing’ with Republican Voting Laws — ‘This Is Not Hyperbole’ [More]

But requiring gun owner ID doesn't disenfranchise anyone?

[Via Michael G]

UPDATE:

Any questions?

Something, Anything...

"People are tired. The resolve, it continues to grow to do something to stop this..." [Watch]

Something must be done!

"Juveniles," eh? And we don't want to "perpetuate any stereotypes"...

Leave it to these useful idiots to do exactly the wrong thing.

Like blaming recently-enacted permitless carry.

We're the Only Ones DeMISTifying Enough

Police Tase, Hogtie, Arrest Vaping Teenagers [More]

Health enforcement: Ultimately it means "Do what we say or we'll kill you."

Good thing they don't have any real crime in Maryland!

'Wrong Thinking'

Facebook says it’s “hate speech” to criticize David Chipman and the goals of gun control [More]

What is it The Keeper always says?

Facebook has a series of TV commercials out featuring 20-somethings calling for internet regulations since they haven't changed since they were born in 1996. Among the messages the spots share:

We support updated internet regulations including elections.

Noting what their "fact checkers" disallow on challenges to last November's "results," what do you think they're trying to get the state to circle wagons around?

How curious: "Comments" are turned off. 

So much for the mission statement the corporation proffers to induce investors. 

Don't Sweat the Mall Stuff

Major US mall owner files for bankruptcy [More]

I checked out three of their properties at random just to confirm what I knew I would find:

• Ocala, FL: "Firearms or other weapons of any kind."
• Maplewood, MN: "Firearms or other weapons of any kind."
• Bloomingdale, IL: "Firearms or other weapons of any kind."

Forgive me if I'm not sympathetic to their financial difficulties, but that makes me recall the Goldfinger truism.

Leader of the Pack

Eric Adams firm leader of the pack in NYC mayor’s race, new poll shows [More]

I'm sure he'll have plenty of chances to disillusion Tucker.

'Upholding' a 'Tradition'

 The ISRA has decided to not fight a FOID card “enhancement“ bill in the 2020-2021 legislative session in which other gun rights orgs and gun owners in Illinois are opposed to, even the majority of ISRA members. Perhaps we know why.....history. A vote for the bill is set for 6/16/21. [More]

I once had a "prag" try to counter me with two ultimately meaningless platitudes: "The perfect is the enemy of the good" and "Politics is the art of the possible." That presumes preemptive surrender is good and that anyone who won't push the envelope knows what is possible.

For some reason, this seems appropriate:

Be It Further Resolved

• Keith County, Nebraska passes resolution in support of Second Amendment

If any more come across the transom today I'll update this post.

Armed American Radio Redux

I joined host Mark Walters on the Sunday Monstercast in the second half of Hour 1. [Listen]

Then there was the redux² in Hour 3.
