HPD SWAT officer mistakenly leaves loaded rifle in Fiesta parking lot in Katy-Cypress area [More]
"Nobody is going to be harder on that officer than he or she will be on themselves..."
I dunno. How hard do you think they'd be if you or I had done that, and would the news story have given out our name?

Inflation Hits Highest Level In 39 Years [More]
Going up means "progress," right?
Can't they just print more money?
That picture of money being weighed reminds me of a Firesign Theater bit -- and I'm remembering from years back here, so it won't be exact -- where the detective was asked if he'd take the case for a hundred pounds and he replied he'd take any case for a hundred pounds of dollars.

“I’m still pro gun control. I know generally speaking if you’re a good guy with a gun you’re firing second because good guys don’t fire first,” Stark said ... “The whole ‘good guy with a gun’ argument never made sense except in the rarest of circumstances but that’s exactly what we have right here.” [More]
What more does this guy need? A truism I've found in life is that if it touches my life it's not all that rare.
As an aside, throwing PTSD and traumatic brain injury into the mix makes me wonder why just the facts as related aren't enough, and if there's something we aren't being told. I guess they have to explain the delay between leaving the scene for safety and notifying the police

Top Ukrainian Military Adviser Reportedly Floats Arming Citizens If Russia Gets Too Close [More]
You guys should have done that on Day One of separation. Instead, you did this.
I hope you don't expect our people to take up arms...?

The right to food is a human right ... The right to food is a legal right ... The right to food is clearly defined... [More]
So are they saying global government can force others to produce and provide it?
It's amazing and somewhat disheartening how many people-- including way too many gun owners -- are totally unclear on the concept of rights.

“It’s an honor for SIG SAUER to contribute to the important work of the Second Amendment Foundation and join forces with their 700,000 plus membership to defend our constitutional rights to privately own and possess firearms,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. [More]
Maybe they're still miffed on losing out in their bid to arm ATF disarmament enforcers.
That's OK though. They have other options. If only those customers would chill...

A once-standout U.S. narcotics agent who used his badge to build a lavish lifestyle of luxury cars and Tiffany jewelry has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for conspiring to launder money with a Colombian cartel. [More]
Is it fair to wonder if the only reason he stands out now is because he got caught?

PURE EVIL: The United Nations Unveils a Statue at its NYC Headquarters that Resembles the Beast from the Book of Revelation [More]
The thing is, there really is a guardian of international peace and security, but they've got another statue rendering it useless.

Coronavirus Fact-Check #13: “ICUs are filled with the unvaccinated” - It’s become a common meme to refer to ICU’s being “filled” with the unvaccinated, but is there any truth to that? [More]
As they say and document, "In a word, no."
Which leads to the logical question: Why would those with the most far-reaching and pervasive voices be perpetuating a calculated lie, and much smaller voices pointing that out be suppressed?

Halepoto says “typical [Swarthmore] parties include an outsized number of white students (many of whom are athletes), making it harder for marginalized groups to feel welcome.” As a result, party organizers blared a repeating electronic message through speakers which warned that white people had to leave.

A lot of my friends are trying to reclaim the GOP and make it a conservative party once again ... I’m content, as my hero Isaiah Berlin put it, to plant myself instead on the rightward edge of the leftward tendency—in the more promising soil of the moderate wing of the Democratic Party. [More]
The Atlantic. Figures. Although I suppose we should thank them for the unintended tip.
And how does that "moderate wing" vote on guns, on judges, and on censuring the growing power base of outright communist radicals ...?
Ever notice how people who presume to be smarter than you are often just cognitively dissonant snobs who presume to live above what is imposed on their lessers?
The media loves such "conservatives," because by presenting self-important fools like this as such, they can portray the rest of us as extremists, haters, white supremacists, fascists... you know, all the terms shared by Antifa and the FBI. Meanwhile, the useful idiots will feel respected and important until his new "friends" decide he's become a useless eater, and that more promising soil becomes covered with lime.

But instead of buying the firearm, the pair stole the gun from the 13-year-old and fled the scene, the sheriff told reporters. The boy then shot at them as they were leaving, Pounds said, but instead struck his 14-year-old sister, who was identified by the sheriff's office as Kyra Scott. Investigators believe the weapon he used was one that he had made. [More]
Yep. The problem here is "ghost guns," alright...

There are many different kinds of givers, like Mr. Bezos’s ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, who has focused her billions on diversity and equity. There are the self-declared “effective altruists,” like the Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and his wife, Cari Tuna, part of a movement searching for evidence-based approaches to find causes where their money does the most good. And there are the traditionalists, like Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg, who have built institutions to handle their funding. [More]
So which one of the Top 200 is focused on preserving the right of the people to keep and bear arms?
Actor Jussie Smollett was found guilty Thursday on five of six felony counts of disorderly conduct for making a false report to Chicago police that he was the victim of a hate crime in January 2019 -- an attack prosecutors said he staged. [More]Glad to admit my speculation was wrong...
