I'm turning off blog comments so people don't think I'm either ignoring them or dead.
Please save yourself the wasted effort and hold off on all news tips, as I won't be able to deal with emails received before I return to open things back up.

‘Who Was Karl Marx’ an Essential Primer for Understanding ‘American Left’
“Red scare” stuff? Disagree at your peril. This isn’t just an opinion. Simpson backs up his claims with proof, and with extensive endnotes. Read this book in the context of political and media gaslighting that Americans are being deliberately subjected to, and suddenly a greater picture pulls into focus. That alone makes this an invaluable read. [More]
Yes, the communists really do want us enslaved or dead.
We're the Only Ones Perceptive Enough
Rashawn Ray, professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, says: "In most states people can carry guns either on their body or in their vehicles, so that escalates things for police - they instantly perceive that anyone can be a threat." [More]
The conflation is strong in this one, but then, "sociology" as practiced and taught, for the most part, isn't really a science, is it?
Then again, neither is:

Is there a word for empowering psychopaths to dictate public policy? Besides "democracy"...?
Cori's Life Matters
Rep. Cori Bush, Who Wants To Defund The Police, Spent Just Under $70,000 On Private Security [More]
Coming from a violence monopolist, that makes perfect "gun sense."
Lift Ev'ry Voice and Kneel Redux
NFL says it will play Black national anthem before games again this season [More]
As I've wondered before, what happens if people refuse to stand, or if they take a knee? If fans are free to cheer, are they also free to "Boo"?
Would they get thrown out?
Would they make it out alive?
Field Report
This just in from a WarOnGuns Correspondent:
I am in California for work. When and while I am here I am on a relatively remote ranch but within the sphere of influence of the Bay Area. I keep a radio/police scanner on 24/7 to listen for fire and area Emergencies or information. My scanner particularly targets Contra Costa, Alameda, and Solano counties.
It has been a trend over the last year and has now become common that the subject and or address of EVERY CALL is run for past history and weapons. I hear over the radio every day “Negative for weapons” or “positive for firearms” and have even heard the presumed number of weapons owned.
This is deeply concerning both from the standpoint of police showing up armed and primed for confrontation but also from the standpoint of the ca database that all compliant subjects are supposed to use being used in real-time as a tool against them.
ALSO ... on a tangential note ... I don’t think people understand how closely they are tracked by their devices. I often hear of hang-up calls and dispatch telling responders that the caller was “within 30’ of x”
This level of monitoring is concerning. FYI.
Yep. FYI.
So, Kind of Like 'The Purge'?

False Positives
Which is to say, near-perfect reliability in laboratory tests sounds great, unless you spend 30 hours in jail because you're falsely tagged as a criminal by facial recognition technology. Real-world applications are messier than tests, and carry consequences in terms of liberty and, potentially, life when authorities respond to bogus alerts. [More]
Expect demands to make it mandatory for gun purchases.

Because Free Speech is Hate Speech
We're the Only Ones Wrist-Slapped Enough
Former St. Louis Police Officer Bailey Colletta was sentenced in connection to the 2017 beating of an undercover officer. Colletta pleaded guilty to making false statements about the case in 2019. She was sentenced to three years probation. [More]
So can we all beat officers and then perjure ourselves, or is that something you need special training for?

In other words, their worldviews are "informed" by CRT, which they're failing...
Collectivist wealth redistributionists, that is, communist BLM teachers and the politicians who pander to their union will tell you it's because of money.
Let's see, in 2019, "City schools spent $16,184 per pupil..."
That's more than my local school district spends, and we have the opposite academic results (although we do need to work on our "diversity" grade...)

In the Footsteps of Carrie Nation
The aggressiveness of progressives—their willingness to arrogate power to themselves and run roughshod over the half of Americans who disagree with them—is, of course, not confined to those holding political office. [More]
A quote by Mencken comes to mind.

Today's Low-Hanging Fruit Award
Police investigating a call about an alleged prowler in Campbell found that the suspect was heavily armed and had a handwritten manifesto detailing his plans to target minority groups, authorities said. [Watch and Read]
Doesn't this all just sound too convenient for advancing the "greatest threat" narrative?

The Bottom Line
These fights can only be won with money. [More]
This is where everybody whistles, puts their hands in their pockets and looks away...
Thing is, a fight later will be a lot more expensive, involved, and deeply personal...

And sorry, Mr. Trump. Appointing him to spite Mattis is the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Maybe you wouldn't be so good at firing people if you weren't so crappy at hiring them.

And that Nancy Pelosi would be going to the Vatican for anything other than a public scourging followed by excommunication speaks of nothing so much as "spiritual wickedness in high places."

Begging the Question
In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. For example, the statement "Green is the best color because it is the greenest of all colors" claims that the color green is the best because it is the greenest—which it presupposes is the best.

So "commonsense gun safety laws"...
Prosecutor’s Treatment of Self-Defender Recalls Soviet Maxim about Showing the Crime
Manipulating the legal system so blatantly and arrogantly is reminiscent of a chilling sentiment from Joseph Stalin’s secret police go-to guy, Lavrentiy Beria, who boasted “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”[More]
An anti-gun Soros-backed prosecutor? What could go wrong?
