If We All Pull Together as a Team

 Perhaps, as we deal with this ongoing pandemic, we should emulate this singlemindedness, and use our big brains to go even further, coming together and doing what needs to be done to combat this microbial scourge with unity, commonsense, and compassion. [More]

Like what?

Show your work.

Some of us are going to need more than a Rodney King inspiration speech.

We're the Only Ones Lacking Confidence Enough

 Santa Clara County supervisors pass unanimous vote of no confidence in sheriff [More]

Even after the confidence game she's been running over gun permits...?

There is No New Thing Under the Sun

 UW-Madison to host ‘Welcome BBQ’ intended only for students of color [More]

Think of it as a reverse Good O' Boy Roundup.

I wonder if they'll have cracker-hunting licenses...

'Now Boarding Group One...'

 "We are f*cking abandoning American citizens," Army colonel wrote in a frantic series of texts that detail how a group of Americans were rejected at airport as rescue flight awaited. [More]

Stop criticizing and take your shot.

'We're Not Worthy!'

And they are so unashamedly self-serving that none of them will face any consequences for any of it. [More]

I wouldn't be so sure of that, especially if the collapse here they're bringing about blows up in their faces. And can anyone with certainty rule out God's keeping score?

I do wonder how many of them would scramble to secure positions as public faces for the North American Provisional Chinese Government, and my conclusion is "most -- while doing whatever they can to throw others under the tank treads if it means saving themselves."

Why do I picture Nancy Pelosi saying "Hold my beer" to in utero sharks?

That's Why Theyre Called TOTALitarians

Time was they knew what to do with gun confiscators in Massachusetts.

False Witness

Matt Gaetz Exonerated from 'Pile of Lies' After Man Charged with Extortion [More]

I wonder if a thorough investigation would reveal Democrat operatives with an election interference objective...

Killing the Messenger

 The far-right freshman congressman repeated the widely debunked narrative about election fraud during a speech to the Macon County Republican Party despite federal intelligence warnings that such rhetoric could spark domestic terror attacks like the January 6 Capitol riot. [More]

There is so much to unpack there.

What can I say but "Salon"?

Leave it to that enemy inside the gates Kinzinger to lead the Democrat mob.

The Last Full Measure of Rejection

How badly do Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats want to cover up this Afghanistan debacle? They just blocked Members of Congress from reading the names of the service members who sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan last week. Don’t you think our military deserves better? [More]

No, they think our military deserves forced shots and to be told to shut up.

Think of Them More as Ventriloquists

 780 Generals, Admirals, Ambassadors and Senior National Security Directors Supported Biden Before the 2020 Election – Here is a Short List of These Dummies Who Couldn’t Have Been More Wrong [More]

I wouldn't be so confident with that conclusion. They knew about him and they got what they wanted -- a puppet in the seat of power saying the words they put in his mouth.

Your Tax Dollars at Work

Q-Tips

 QAnon’s Biggest Conference Is in Complete Shambles Right Now [More]

So they're canceling after I bought a buffalo hat and everything?

Forgive me if I find the QAnon movement too convenient of an attack point for the conflation-loving, low-hanging-fruit-picking left.

Out to Lunch?

 Go-to Lawyer for Capitol Riot Defendants Disappears [More]

Did he flake out or has he been taken out?

Rare Breed Trigger Amended Complaint

 This sure lays it all out. [More]

I see from Pacer monitor this has been assigned to District Judge Carlos E. Mendoza, a Barack Obama nominee, and  Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Kelly, "selected for the post [in 2008] by federal judges [and who is] a Republican."

The Cognitive Dissonance...It BURNS...

 Thousands of undocumented New Yorkers hoping to tap into the state’s $2.1 billion COVID “Excluded Workers Fund” will face an easier path after the Internal Revenue Service developed a new process for confirming worker identification, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday. [More]

Wait a sec... I thought he said "Shame on them" because requiring government confirmation identification was racist...

Look at where these people have moved the "debate" to.

You Get a Participation Trophy and You Get a Participation Trophy and YOU get a Participation Trophy...


NYC wants schools to rethink honor rolls deemed ‘detrimental’ to students not making grade [More]

No doubt because most public school teachers union CRT-obsessed mediocrities are incapable of coaching children to that level.

It's been a while since I read "Harrison Bergeron"...

A Real Female Robin Hood

American Antifa -A woman's journey from Girl Scout to anarchist street warrior [More]

Many people who justify assaulting others have never been assaulted back by someone who really knows how.

Aram seems a tad infatuated, don't you think?

An Old, Familiar Tune

ATF Watches More Than 1000 Guns Go Missing In The US! [Watch]

Here's the backstory.

Tell me it doesn't sound like it's right out of the Fast and Furious playbook, counting on enabled abuses to gin up more demand for controls. 

Tell me a thorough and honest investigation wouldn't find government provocateurs at the center of things. 600 firearms can't be found in stock and everybody shrugs?  What FFL would take such risks without assurances?

My spider-sense is tingling on this one.

It figures a USA Today/The Trace joint venture wouldn't be looking at that, but instead be making the case that ATF needs more power and more laws.

Don't expect anything to happen as long as Democrats control House Oversight and Senate Judiciary.  Not that anything of changing and lasting effect happened when Republicans did...

[Via Jess]

So It's Not OK to be White?

 Today, I still find myself called "white" as a pejorative... [More]

Those in government and media with the loudest voices calling it "the greatest threat" aim to turn it into the greatest insult. Dare to express individuality as a POC and find out who the real racists are.

Just Like Magic!

Hillary Clinton's 'deplorables' speech shocked voters five years ago - but some feel it was prescient [More]

Define "some."

Your string-pullers who enabled you to set up a sustained smear campaign, you socialist @$$holes who have been doing that, and those useful idiots who have swallowed your lies that a belief in limited government and a Bill of Rights culture makes a person "racist"?


Your Turn's Coming

"Good, because so far, the Taliban has gotten all the cool stuff," they replied.
