Contemptible

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon indicted by federal grand jury for contempt of Congress [More]

The committee vote to refer it to the full House was unanimous, 9-0.

Seven Democrats and Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, so nine Democrats.

I don't have time right now to compare the Republicans who voted to send it to the grand jury with the ones who rolled on infrastructure, but I'm betting there will be matches.

Contempt of Congress, eh? Say, what ever happened to Eric Holder...?

Survey SAYS...

Take our short 3 question survey to let us know you're with us in the fight to end gun violence... [More]

Actually, it's what the survey doesn't say that tells us the most: They don't say a word about "assault weapons", "ghost guns" or "high-capacity" magazines.

And who is arguing to allow "reckless firearm intimidation"? Let me guess: What they really mean is they choose to react to the sight of open carriers with fear. I'd invoke the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast again, but in truth, they're afraid of what they can't see, too, making them even more "profoundly unintelligent" than "the stupidest creature in the entire universe." 

The Best Predictor Yet

 Wisconsin National Guard Ready for Potential Unrest as Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Wraps Up [More]

And the "progressives" will be doing their part to see that it happens.

A Numbers Game

 It’s not just that Democrats were demolished in rural areas of Virginia. They lost ground everywhere, even if they still racked up easy wins in places like Fairfax and Arlington counties.  [More]

Those high population areas are growing. And guess what is not being acknowledged.

Lest Ye Be Judged

Liberal Effort to Get Rittenhouse Judge Removed Has Hilarious Twist to It [More]

I've noticed they're having a collective frothing at the mouth meltdown on the judge over indications they're not getting their way. There's no point in arguing they would be melting down the other way if one of theirs was on trial and the presiding judge didn't enforce the same exclusionary rules -- because they're not interested in rightness or logic-- that's not what lynch mobs want.

Just note there can be no peace with such as these. They will not allow it.

If Kyle is declared not guilty, expect them to further gin up the mob and excuse any resulting mass violence as being justified against systemic racism, saying if he were black, he'd have been convicted.

In other words, they will blame "white supremacy" and stir up more hate-fueled rage among those who don't understand due process and rules of evidence, and how weakening those will work against everyone but those who would rule.

Opposition Research

 Scottsdale Unified school board president Jann-Michael Greenburg has been caught assembling a dossier with confidential information on parents who oppose critical race theory—including photographs of their children... I've reviewed the dossier and Greenburg has assembled a disturbing range of information on parents: commercial background checks, criminal records, address histories, divorce records, business filings, personal photographs, and other sensitive data... [More]

Gee, why has he scurried into hiding...?

Team Players

 Youngkin said that other members of his transition steering committee includes business owners, law enforcement officers, veterans, healthcare providers and parents. [More]

Any activist gun owners...?

Hold the Narrative at All Costs

 The media framed Kyle Rittenhouse — and won’t come clean even after the prosecution’s case falls apart [More]

I see a lot of conservatives predicting vindication and victory-- if the system were honest I'd agree with them. Let's hope they're right and my they'll-find-some-way-to-f***-him pessimism is unwarranted.

Reaching the Point of No Return

 If they can make Americans submit to that egregious show of power, they can do anything. [More]

T.L. Davis notes that the power is there and what's needed to claim it is the will.

Staying In Your Lane

A Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance initiative has been filed with Lane County [More]

Per Oregon Firearms Federation via email:

Petitions must be sent in by December 1, 2021.Chief Petitioner's address is on the petition. There is no time left and we still need at least 2500 more signatures to have a good buffer.   The circulators have collected over 10,208 signatures so far and we need 10,632. 
 I'm not sure why any rational gun owner who lives there wouldn't support and share this...



Carnal 'Knowledge'

 Do you love a steak? You might be INSECURE! Men who worry that they are not 'manly' enough are more likely to eat red meat, study claims [More]

Whereas men who eat soy...

That it tastes really great isn't enough? What was that supposed Freud quote about cigars?

A Paige Out of History

 Biden tells a story about "the great negro at the time" Satchel Paige. [More]

Was he also "articulate" and "clean"?

I tried to find out if Paige was a Democrat or Republican to see if Biden would have considered him "black," but came up empty. It seems there was a time when athletes and celebrities didn't abuse their fame by injecting themselves into politics...

For the Children

Virginia pharmacy incorrectly administers Covid vaccine to 112 kids, officials pull remaining doses [More]

It's not like they really know what the "correct" administration will end up doing to them.

A Capital Idea

 McConnell praises infrastructure bill as ‘godsend’ for Kentucky [More]

I notice they used a lowercase "g"...

'Our Friends Across the Aisle'

Living proof that "moderate" Republicans are useful idiots...?

Gun Control Advocates Hysterical Over Little League Gun Raffle Fundraiser

It figures taking a good thing, such as a lawful raffle in support of traditional American values, would get the antis in hand-wringing mode, and that includes the News Journal, part of the USA  Today network, and a Gannett publication. There’s a group of doctrinaire violence monopoly cheerleaders that’s never seen a gun it didn’t want to also see grabbed. [More]

It’s for a good cause and it drives the antis crazy? What’s not to love?
