‘Capitalist’ Billionaires Think Selling Rope Will Keep Them Safe

 

It’s fair to ask if altruism is the prime motivator for these guys. What about ego and narcissism, and an inflated sense of self-importance and their own “visionary leadership”? What about something more basic than that, like Taking Care of Number One? That and survival? [More]

They're whistling past the graveyard of history.

Speaking of 'Orders We Will Not Obey'

 Pentagon: US troops must get their COVID-19 vaccines ASAP [More]

And more than 800,000 still have not? I wonder how many saying "No" it will take to grind the machine to a halt. I also wonder if most will cave.

What's good enough for the Chi-Town PD...

And the idea spreads...

I wonder how many old people will die for want of staff...

I Got Them P320 Blues

Another lawsuit filed over alleged defects in Sig Sauer's P320, this time by a Somerville, MA police officer who says he was shot by a handgun "in his gym bag wrapped carefully with a cloth." Also includes that VP9 cutout graphic from similar lawsuits.  [More]

Again... (and this one was apparently holstered)?

Anyone have qualified insights on this?

The Dirty Little Rabbit Who Shot Ashli Babbitt

 Ashli Babbit’s Ruthless Killer Lt. Mike Byrd Will Join Lester Holt for First TV Interview – Will Air Thursday Night [More]

Unfortunately, we won't be able to hear her side.

Anybody else picking up a Bob Ford vibe?

Best known as the “dirty little coward” that killed Jesse James ... Bob Ford was capitalizing on his betrayal of Jesse James, taking to the stage, appearing in an act entitled Outlaws of Missouri.

The Age Old Question

 NRA Targets Ban On Florida Gun Sales To People Under 21 [More]

So voting for a Deutchbag isn't enough to disqualify...?

Good on NRA's legal guys for this. I'm quick enough to tear into them when they do bad, but as a Life Member I haven't completely given up on trying to help save it from the scoundrels at the top.

Who thinks "we" can coexist with such as these?  

Who thinks they'll allow it?

Shred the Constitution Day

Georgia State plans to celebrate Constitution Day with events promoting liberal activism [More]

Do they have enough copies of it for the p!$$ing booth?

'It' Could NEVER Happen HERE

 Why Is The National Guard Hiring Internment/Resettlement Specialists? [More]

Relax. It's not like we have to worry about them following just any orders...

Oh...

We're the Fauxnly Ones Half-Fledged Enough

The woman said Fremerman told her and her family that he was a full-fledged cop, claimed to pull people out of cars, train people to fire guns, and that he could tap into her cellphone. The woman told the detective that Fremerman pointed a loaded pistol at her head last September, though Fremerman later claimed the gun wasn’t loaded. [More]

He sounds like he had all the right qualifications except being able to get away with it.

As always, be aware of the Fauxnly Ones files. You never know when you might need to claim you had precedent-based reasons to doubt authenticity...

Let's Be Smart Out There

 Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio faces 155 days for burning a Black Lives Matter sign late last year and for his possession of two high-capacity magazines. [More]

I'm sorry, but both of those sound like things you'd have to be exceptionally careless to caught for. I don't think I'd want to follow him into a more serious operation.

Unintended Consequences

 Russia "Ready" To Ship Weapons To Central Asian Allies To Prevent Terrorists From Flooding Region [More]

It seems whatever Biden does results in more guns being everywhere.

Taking On Too Much

 Good Samaritan Trying To Break Up Fight Is Shot Point Blank In The Head In Portland [More]

Some situations, it's best to keep your distance from and call in.

For the Children

 Project Veritas has released a new video tonight of a DHS whistleblower revealing how gang members involved in sex trafficking, who are known to have committed sexual crimes children and are applying to sponsor these unaccompanied children, are able to remain in the US using a ‘loophole’ of their lives being in ‘danger’. [More]

Those allowing this to go on are guilty of aiding and abetting.

The reason behind why they are allowing it to go on shows them to be all the more evil.

Curious, how the same apparatchiks who knowingly allow this to go on if it advances their aims demand wholesale slaughter of the preborn and use "For the children" as a ploy to disarm and control everyone else...

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Rightwing' Is

The Friends of Gavin

 “Investigators are trying to figure out how the election ballots ended up in the suspect’s vehicle and what their intent was in having them,” police officials said in a statement. [More]

Based on everything else we know about the guy, I'd say he's a Democrat operative.

Listing to the Left

 Yesterday I asked for the list of "Republicans" hooked on Kristol meth who are voting for McAuliffe.

They're ID'd here. A bunch of malcontent "moderate" useful idiot has-beens and never-weres, exactly the type whose influence so often renders the Republican party worse than useless.

Naturally, the DSM portrays it as a major schism.

Speaking of Vultures

But the Indiana Farm Bureau is trying to give them another option. In early August, the general farming organization launched a new program in which livestock producers can apply for a permit to legally kill and remove a set number of the black vultures from their property. [More]

That they have to ask bureaucrats whose business it is not for permission -- and can have their lives destroyed if they act on their own -- speaks to how far freedom has degraded in this country. I'd say "shoot, shovel, and shut up," but then there are probably busybody snitch neighbors who would file noise complaints.

Then again, take the king's shilling and become the king's man.

Holed Up in Fairfax and They Ain't Comin' Out

 Due to concern over the safety of our NRA family and community, we regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the 2021 Annual Meeting & Exhibits. [More]

Sure.

UPDATE: As usual, my go-to site on this, NRAInDanger has things pegged.

The Law of Diminishing Returns

The effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines among front-line workers declined to 66% after the delta variant became dominant... [More]

And the next variant, and the one after that...?

Shooting up is so passé... maybe they could come up with something the newly-created junkies can smoke in a crack pipe?

A Rare Breed

 

I guess I should have watched the video embedded in the article I linked to before asking questions.

This guy is impressive.
