Telling Gun Owners ‘Trust Me’ is No Way for Youngkin to Win Election

Trust him. It’s not like “moderate” Republicans unwilling to take an unequivocal stance have ever betrayed gun owners before, right? For some reason, nothing comes to mind so much as a line by the “Fletcher” character in The Outlaw Josey Wales. [More]

Way to make it impossible for gun owners to get a fire in their bellies, Glenn!

Special Education

 Emmys granted exemption to COVID-19 mask rules [More]

What have we learned?

I'm pretty much with Skip Coolzip on this one.

Going Whole Hogg

 IF WE TAXED STUPIDITY, HOGG WOULD BE IN THE POORHOUSE [More]

A gun-grabber is also a coercive collectivist? Since when has that ever happened?

'Settled Science'

 Federal Govt Whistleblower Goes Public with Secret Recordings: ‘Government Doesn’t Want to Show the [COVID] Vaccine is Full of Sh*t’; ‘Shove’ Adverse Effect Reporting ‘Under the Mat’ [More]

Fortunately, Twitter has banned Project Veritas to keep us safe from... uh...

And Facebook warns us against believing them without actually refuting anything.

Point/Counterpoint

 Columbia bans open carry of guns at festivals and parades ... The South Carolina General Assembly passed a law this year allowing people with a concealed weapons permit to carry those guns openly. [More]

Somebody ought to tell Mayor Benjamin not to go all Garry McCarthy on us. It's easy to tell who the bad guys are: They're the ones victimizing people. 

The problem is, there never seems to be an "Only One" around when that happens.

Little White Lie-In


U. Iowa grad students hold die-in, make demands in protest of ‘lax’ campus COVID measures [More]

I was just thinking while I did the "vigil" post that it's been a while since I brought the bike out...

Mission Creeps

 Leak Shows The ATF Starting To Investigate COVID Relief Fraud [More]

It's not like they can tie their budget in with any actual positive achievements within their charter...

Why do I get the feeling an honest time reporting audit would be enough to put some people away?

Candle in the Wind

 4 people shot at vigil in Downtown St. Louis; 1 person dead [More]

So like communism, the reason they don't work is that nobody's done it right yet...?

Just to Be a D*** About It

 A Missouri official is asking the state Supreme Court to suspend the law licenses of a St. Louis couple who gained national attention last year when they waved guns at racial injustice protesters outside their home. [More]

Anybody know if Pratzel's a Democrat...? If so, it would seem some bar complaints are in order.

Return I Will to Old Brazil

How America Created a Gun-Happy Gangster’s Paradise in Brazil [More]

Same as it ever was...

Maybe if the violence monopolists weren't set on keeping the people from being able to protect themselves...

This is just an influence job to throw out the reformer and put the gun-grabbing commie back in power.

Lift Every Voice and Grovel

 Two national anthems 'unhealthy' for unification of America: Jason Whitlock [More]

There aren't two, there's only one. The other has been coopted by the cultural Marxists to exert pressure for mass compliance.

I wonder if you'd make it out of the stadium alive if those recognizing that took a knee during the usurpation song... not that anyone so inclined would be at an NFL game in the first place...

And speaking of being unhealthy for the unification of America...

'Progressive' Fragility

 The overwhelming display of Trump support was a conspiracy to “intimidate voters in trucks in the light of the day in the same way that the law outlawed intimidation while hooded on horseback in the dark of night in 1871,” former Texas Senator Wendy Davis, White House staffer David Gins, LGBTQ activist Eric Cervini, Biden staffer David Gins and the Biden bus driver Timothy Holloway claim in a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. [More]

Deliberate hyperbole much?

More than anything else, they remind me of snotty grade school tattletales.

Oh, and what's with Gins2?

Gun in Home Proves Dangerous to Woman!

 69-year-old woman shoots, kills home intruder in North Olmsted [More]

Listen to her voice in the 911 call. Now imagine the outcome if she had listened to the "commonsense gun safety law" cultists and kept her firearm and ammunition separately locked up.

Expect outrage from Keyarra's settlement-seeking relatives in 3...2...1...

Whipping Up a Story

 Border Patrol Debunks the Fake 'Whipping' Haitians Story but Media Doesn't Care About the Truth [More]

And based on Twitter responses, neither do any of the "open borders" cultural terraformers weighing in.

UPDATE:

DHS Moves to Punish Border Patrol Agents Stopping Illegal Haitians [More]

Time to make the front lines afraid to move.

Sucking It Up

“We Sucked Eachother’s D***s” – Mother Reads Sexually Explicit School Book To Board Members [More]

Figures Amazon sells it and all the DSM reviewers simply gush over it. 

I see one board member has resigned in disgust. That others are hanging on and hunkering down, and that the librarian has not been fired, tells us much.

I guess we'll see how many real suckers there are in the upcoming bond election.

Coulda Woulda Shoulda

 It is also supported by the Due Process Institute, which describes itself as a “nonprofit, bipartisan, public interest organization” that seeks “procedural fairness in the criminal justice system.” In a brief filed, it asserts that this case falls under the so-called rule of lenity, which favors less harsh interpretations of ambiguous criminal statutes. Codrea group and other bump stock advocates have made this argument as well. In contrast to Chevron deference, the Due Process Institute notes that the law isn’t settled on “the proper interpretation of a statute with both criminal and civil implications,” according to them. However, the rule of lenity should prevail, it says. [More]

It should.

If it doesn't, we'll have a real problem on our hands, especially when ATF decides to transmute semiautos into machineguns.

Are there any anonymous, ignorant comment dolts out there still bloviating insultingly about "a stupid piece of plastic not being a hill worth dying on"?

Dark Thoughts

Newberg school staff member wears Blackface to work ... Pefferle was soon removed from school grounds and placed on administrative leave, according to a district statement. [More]

Why? Democrat "leaders" Northam and Herring were given passes and rewarded with awesome political power, so why the inconsistency? And how hard is iodine to remove?

I also see a bit of a "progressive" journalism dilemma: If you are supposed to capitalize the "b" in "black" as a form of cultural restitution for discrimination, why would Portland's KOIN See-BS 6 ("Woking out for you") also do it for the actual discriminating practice of "blackface"?

Another COVID-Related Death

 A 20-year-old clerk was shot after asking a customer to wear a face mask in Germany. [More]

So the permitting, background checks, licensing, registration, training, and other restrictions didn't work...?

How to Make a Monster

 “I do believe these boys deserve a consequence for what they did, but I don’t want this to ruin their lives,” the victim’s mother said. “I want this to be a springboard for them to say, ‘You know what, I want to be better. I want to be a better person.’” [More]

How very "progressive." I take it the poor kid has been denied a "toxic" role model to teach him male imperatives.

Add "better living through chemistry" and, as Dr. Malcolm explains...

Maybe he'll be the one to push demand for an "assault weapon" ban over the top...

Keep Flying That Rainbow Flag

 China Targets ‘Effeminate’ Men in Xi’s Mounting Push for Conformity [More]

At some point, Marxists always seem to redesignate useful idiots as fertilizer.

That goes for rope-selling "woke" capitalists, too.
