From Your Lips to God's Ears
Survey SAYS...
Youngkin is the pick among White evangelical Christians (+63 points), Whites without a college degree (+40), gun owner households (+32), and men (+16). [More]
I wonder what he could have done to get those gun numbers up...
If he pulls it off it will be because a critical mass of voters have awakened and been horrified by what they see the Democrats doing when they get power.

A Candidate She Could Identify With
The investigation began after a woman identified as "Judy" discovered that her mother, who died before the election, allegedly voted by absentee ballot in the final days of her life, despite experiencing “severe cognitive decline,” to the point that she did not recognize her daughter and had hallucinations. [More]
That explains the vote for Biden.

You can read it if you subscribe or else have a lawyer explain it to you.
Bottom line: It ain't over.

That's the Plan, Anyway
Why the Second Amendment may be losing relevance in gun debate [More]
Which is why those presuming to be our leaders had better start advancing core purpose.
As an aside, that smugly grinning self-styled know-it-all in the video is as irritating to watch as she is ignorant, but it is important to note the grabbers are returning to pre-Heller arguments that they gave up on for a while but are now bringing back with a vengeance.
And my challenge still stands.

The Blanche Dubois Defense
They grabbed her as as she begged: 'Don’t hurt my babies. Don’t kill me. I'm a mother.' To which one of the men responded: 'Kill her.' [More]
Not exactly something I'd want to rely on...
I wonder if she's going to get political now.

Giving Moms Action
Moms Demand Action....a German punk rock band? [More]
“Kill Your Enemies” and “Willfully Stupid” seem pretty appropriate.
A Win/Win Situation?
State lawmaker pushes to ban live ammunition, real guns on California movie sets [More]
Give them a taste of their own medicine AND further drive the industry out of the state?
I'm looking for a downside here...
Leave it to Sheila Jackson Lee to provide one.

‘We Gotta Take These Motherf***ers Out’: Rutgers Assoc. Professor Rages Against White People [More]
Well, we know she's inacapable of racism and she certainly looks like all of her setbacks in life have been forced on her by people like me.

But No One is Talking About Taking Your Guns, Eh?
Take aim at legal guns, too, in fight against violence [More]
Try this mental exercise: You hear nearby shots followed by terrified people screaming and running toward and past you. You hear more shots, closer this time.

Where Nomad Has Gone Before
‘Humans are a mistake’: Why more young women are getting sterilized [More]
Reminds me of a scene from Star Trek:
It's best that she doesn't breed. And no, of course she won't be happy.
For reasons of nature and nurture and choice, not everyone is suited for the life they have. Now if there were only some way to keep them from imposing their delusional and sterile misery on the rest of us.

Spooking the Herd
But Terry McAuliffe is a special kind of liar. Not only does he prevaricate about Glenn Youngkin’s policy positions, but he deliberately spreads falsehoods about the severity of Covid-19 in Virginia. [More]
Perhaps he read Dune and is counting on the political effects of fear being a mind killer...
UPDATE: And if that's not enough, he's got a plan:
McAuliffe tells Hispanic voters to 'get busy, get yourself to 11%' of population.
If any "gun rights leader" tells you this has nothing to do with that "single issue," you're talking to a liar, a fool, or both.

For the Children
Under SB 554, any school district can vote to make their property an “active killer safe zone” by prohibiting law abiding people from being armed on school property during an attack. This mind numbingly stupid policy is being considered at the same time the politicians and public school establishment are doing their best to eliminate school resource officers. This policy is insane. [More]
True, but indoctrinating students with years of insanity resulted in the "progressive" Oregon of today and is the path forward to the totalitarian Oregon of tomorrow, so that's a small price to pay, wouldn't you agree?
Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst
An Excellent Day for Kyle Rittenhouse Defense at Pre-Trial Hearing [More]
I hope he's right about the judge. Not to be Eeyore, but I had a nagging feeling reading the story I linked to yesterday that his questioning was giving the prosecutor clues about weaknesses in his arguments and where he would be better focused in the trial.

Speaking of Spiritual Wickedness in High Places...
Abp. Viganò warns US bishops about COVID jab ... The silence of so many cardinals and bishops, along with the inconceivable promotion of the vaccination campaign by the Holy See, represents a form of unprecedented complicity that cannot continue any longer. [More]
Just in case anyone is looking for "religious exemption" backup...
It's really got to rile the controllers that they can't (yet) totally ignore the First Amendment, and that what they sneer at as "superstition" can still throw a wrench into their "settled science."
Kind'a makes you wonder what else the Founders were good at anticipating...
What the Living F***?
The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma. [More]
This is wrong and treasonous on so many levels. For now, I have one question.
Are the Republicans just going to let them get away with it?
UPDATE: Tucker Carlson weighs in.

TANGENTIALLY-RELATED UPDATE:Biden Plans To Further Break The Border With Fraudulent Asylum Seekers - The Biden administration’s proposed asylum rule worsens the already flawed expedited removal process for illegal immigrants by making it more difficult to detect meritless asylum claims. [More]
