War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, and Predator is Prey

Going Along to Get Along

 You physicians who have chosen to ignore this issue should be ashamed.  It is time to get in the game, jabbed or not, and seek truth. [More]

That those who are troubled know the very real career-ending repercussions they will face should tell us much.

Meanwhile, On the Road to Damascus...

 You don’t get to be “against the rich” if the richest people in the country fund your party in order to preserve their government-sponsored monopolies. You are not “a supporter of free speech” if you oppose free speech for people who disagree with you. You are not “for the people” if you pit most of them against each other based on the color of their skin, or force them out of their jobs because of personal choices related to their bodies. You are not “serious about economic inequality” when you happily order from Amazon without caring much for the devastating impact your purchases have on the small businesses that increasingly are either subjugated by Jeff Bezos’ behemoth or crushed by it altogether. You are not “for science” if you refuse to consider hypotheses that don’t conform to your political convictions and then try to ban critical thought and inquiry from the internet. You are not an “anti-racist” if you label—and sort!—people by race. You are not “against conformism” when you scare people out of voicing dissenting opinions. [More]

Agreed. Now let's talk guns...

Byrd is the Word

'Headed to' Doesn't Mean It'll Get Considered

 Bump Stock Ban Headed To Supreme Court After Appeals Court Deadlocks  [More]

And all they have to do to let it stand is...nothing.

Say the Republicans do that "blue wave" everybody's pinning their hopes on: How many do you think will push to fix this legislatively?

Sorry to be such a downer. I want a win on this more than just about anybody.

Time for the Broken Clock to Be Right Again

 Tulsi Gabbard blasts political leaders for considering nuclear attack on Russia [Watch]

Last night I watched a really well-done albeit left-slanting satire about another time highly-placed incompetents and fools tried to take on Russia. That period and conflict fascinate me and it recalled for me one of my favorite fictional accounts of the campaign by one of my favorite novelists. Coincidentally, the night before I found another film I'd been meaning to watch for years, and Flashman fans will know why.

Anyway, back to the point at hand: Too bad Tulsi doesn't have her head screwed on right about guns.

And doesn't she know who her fellow Democrats have the nukes reserved for?

A Big Fat Phony

 Stovall also said that Republicans only want to vote for him so they can say they’ve elected the youngest black Republican in history. He said they don’t care about his policies. [More]

Bill Authors and Cosponsors are Waiting to Hear from You!

 PLEASE IMMEDIATELY begin emailing all Assembly members... [More]

Why? So the safe-seat Democrats can compare the number to their votes and feel even more invincible?

We're the Only Ones Intimidating Enough

A Midland County jury stated that David Wilson is not guilty of murder in the shooting death of Officer Nathan Hayden Heidelberg...A packed courtroom, including a blue line of at least two dozen uniform-clad MPD officers and Chief Seth Herman, heard closing arguments.  [More]

Were they on the clock?

I wonder if the jurors were worried the cops knew who they were and where they lived.

Neither Snow Nor Rain Nor Little Things Like Integrity...

The Next Question is 'When?'

Plus it's got open-carry, so you no longer have to tell panicked "Ony Ones" you're fishing?

The Libertarian Stance on Cultural Suicide

The Libertarian Stance on 'Gun Control': A Beginner’s Guide [More]

Here's all I need to know:

I will work with Congress to repeal arbitrary quotas on the number of people who can legally enter the United States to work, visit, or reside and to comprehensively reform the immigration process, shorten waiting times, and expand visas. We should provide a pathway to citizenship for the millions of undocumented persons already in the United States. If people want to immigrate to the United States and contribute to our country, they should be able to, and there should be no hurdles standing in their way.

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

I'm still waiting...
