The Best the GOP Can Give Us?

 We saw Sherrod's response. Here's Rob Portman's:

[Open in new tab to view]

At least he won't be running again, which opens the door to who will and how far they're willing to commit to proving how "staunch" they are.

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Camp

[T]he National School Boards Association argued this week that parents are engaged in “domestic terrorism” and asked the White House to use the Justice Department, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security against protesters. It has even asked the White House to consider deploying the USA PATRIOT Act against parents and community leaders who oppose mask mandates and the teaching of critical race theory [More].

It's a cinch they're not going to be the ones deploying. Still, it's nice to put names and faces on those who demand you obey or be destroyed.

We're the Only Ones Avoiding and Denying Enough

The best option, according to Lt. Lane, in an active shooter situation is to avoid, deny, or defend, otherwise known as run, hide, or fight. [More]

Notice he didn't say with what on that last one. And then there's this:

Officers said calling 911 was another crucial piece in a civilian's response. Once law enforcement arrives on the scene, usually in about three minutes, they don't always know who or where the threat is. So, they said it's crucial that people follow their commands and show their palms.

Good one on that first bs claim. And figures you'd prone us out or kill us after we took care of things.

Priorities Being What They Are

 The influencer has more than 2million followers on TikTok, where he shared videos of himself lip syncing and dancing, and more than 757,000 on Instagram [More]

I give up on even trying to figure it out, but note that it may be advantageous to have softer targets out there when what such a culture is making inevitable finally happens.

Hey, cannibals gotta eat, too.

Spikey Likes It

 Senate Confirms Radical Eco-Terrorist as Chief of the Bureau of Land Management [More]

Come on, PJ Media: How does your guy do this report and not tell us who went AWOL?

[Via Michael G]


Update-- they're arguing about the vote count over at PJM. My "who went AWOL" link, above, goes to the final vote. The comment poster is conflating the confirmation vote with the cloture vote.

One Way to Settle It

Philly’s top cop says she and DA Krasner ‘just don’t agree’ on how to reduce shootings [More]

I don't suppose a duel on pay-per-view is an option...?

J'Accuse…!

 The Scheller Case is America’s Dreyfus Affair [More]

Except you stand a better chance of getting justice in late-Nineteenth/early Twentieth-Century France.

Always Think Forfeiture

 Federal authorities cash in on safety box seizures as owners fight back [More]

I wonder what poll results would be if you asked "If you saw a mob dragging one of these bastards to a tree would you try to intervene?" and gave "Yes" or "No" options?

My Kind of Razzmatazz

 Chicago to mount bleeding control kits throughout city to help adapt to new ‘environment’ [More]

Doubling down on failure admissions, I see...

I wonder how many kits will be stolen.

On This We Can Agree!

 “Anyone who’s involved in an organization that’s supporting violence against the people, against the government or racial and ethnic violence — they don’t belong on the NYPD.” [More]

Exactly right!

Section 8.02. Restrictions on Membership:

(a) No person who advocates, or has been or is a member, or associated with, any organization, formal or informal, that advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States or the violation of the Constitution thereof, shall be entitled to be a member or associate member.

A Deimatic Display

 CDC claims it has authority to use police to do everything you see going on in Australia; and Congress agrees [More]

Having the "authority" and having the ability can be two very different things.

No. Their move.

We're the Only Ones Thrown Under the Bus Enough

 Grand jurors were given options to charge Buchanan with second-degree murder or first-degree involuntary manslaughter, they opted for the more serious offense, Bell said. [More]

But there was a carjacking weapon on the ground near the truck the lifelong societal liability stole?

Far be it from me to be the defender of "Only Ones," but does anyone else smell politics at work?

[Via bondmen]

Speaking of 'Insurrection'...

'This injustice must stop': Protesters block Golden Gate Bridge, demand immigration reform [More]

That's how USA Today, a Gannett Publication couches it.

Here's what they really want:

Immigration protesters block traffic on Golden Gate bridge, demand ‘pathway to citizenship’

And if they don't get what they want they threaten to escalate?

Hey, as long as it's in a Marxist stronghold, burn the place down for all I  care.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue." They're hostile to the Militia there, anyway.

Bringing Up the Rear

COVID-19 now may cause something called 'restless anal syndrome,' doctors say [More]

I could get in all kinds of cancel trouble with this.

Still Smearing After All These Years

 Less than four months before the 2016 incident, Allyn D. Gibson posted his frustration over being called racist saying, “if these lazy ***** want to start working then they could earn their own money. That’s what my family does for money… work.” [More]

The race hustlers never give up.

They sure make it sound like he used the "n" word" rather than the "f" word, don't they?

Need a shirt or a hat...?

Coming Soon, to a Sanctuary City Near You

 More than 75 percent of Venezuelans now living in extreme poverty [More]

I guess they haven't tried it right, either.

Adventures in 'Baselessness'

 HUGE! Major British News Outlet Question Legitimacy of Biden Election Victory, “Election Was Rigged” [More]

That'll never fly on Facebook.

And it's only "huge" if something is done about it. 

[Via Michael G]

Much Ado About What, Exactly...?

 Inspector General Finds Damning ‘Widespread’ FISA Failure After FBI Director Dismissed Concerns [More]

So will any of them be damned in this life?

A Temporary Setback

  This was just one of at least five shootings that Portland police responded to in a 12-hour span. [More]

Settle down. They probably just haven't had time to spend all the money yet...

Do Do that Voodoo that You Do So Well

 If you thought moving 100,000 Somalians into Minnesota posed challenges to assimilation, that will be a pleasant dream compared to the multitudes of Haitians Biden is letting into the country right now. [More]

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

When the Music Stops

Communism needs a healthy host to infect. It does no good to infect a dead body and try to revive it. [More]

That's when the real cannibalism begins.

Not Commie Enough to Suit Their Tastes

 Activists who helped elect Kyrsten Sinema launch CrowdPAC to fund a primary challenger [More]

I guess we'll see how degraded Arizona has become.

Commonsense Fentanyl Safety Laws Not Working Either

  Nearly nine times as many people died of a drug overdose in Richmond than from gun violence during the first quarter of 2021. [More]

So why aren't they calling it "drug violence"?

A Farewell to Arms

 Gunmaker Smith & Wesson moving headquarters from Massachusetts to Tennessee [More]

A good first step, but why leave machining and parts production operations?

[Via Remarks]

We're the Only Ones Resourceful Enough

An 18-year-old mother is brain dead after she was shot by a school resource officer, family says ... “The officer took it upon himself to whip out his gun and start shooting at a moving vehicle”... [More]
That is resourceful!

Note another "Only One" whose name is being withheld. 

Is it wrong to have a feeling why?

We're the Only Ones Unresponsive Enough

 Crime no longer in progress? Don’t call 911, APD says; use 311 instead [More]

I'm not sure what this really changes -- if a victim is bleeding out and the perp has left, the crime is no longer "in progress," is it?

Not that it matters if it is...

Austin, eh?

Big "progressive" Texas Bloomberg town...?

They still got the manpower resources for "No Refusal Weekends"...?

A Run for Your Money

 Yellen lends support for effort to remove the debt ceiling altogether [More]

Think of the possibilities!

Besides, these things pay for themselves.

When Grits are Outlawed

Woman Charged With Felonious Grits Attack [More]

Looks like I need to expand the weapons list again...

Reminds me of another story...

We're the Only Ones Breaking Bad Enough

 Columbus police officers charged with crimes related to distributing at least 7 kilograms of fentanyl [More]

Every once in a while I rethink my position on crucifixion as a deterrent.

Meanwhile, their unqualified boss has her own security detail while ginning up the gun-grabber mob.

Someone actually thought it was a good idea to bring in a "problem-solver" from Detroit...?
