Washington Post Throwing Stones Brings to Mind Cautions about Glass Houses

Anti-gun males like Waldman know that their smears and lies and attempts at wit aren’t working, and in fact, are starting to backfire on them. Not being anywhere near as clever as they presume themselves to be, they don’t know how to do anything else but double down. Meanwhile, more and more Americans are comparing reality with what media hacks are telling them, meaning his influence and tired, old themes are waning even further. [More]
It must infuriate them that despite their attempts to warn them off, politicians are striving to prove which one of them is more "pro-gun."

As an aside, I see AmmoLand has started reader article scoring, and I have a lurker out there who, based on the last few columns I checked, can't wait to get the first vote in:

Here's What I'M Doing This Afternoon...

Go to the AAR website to listen or watch.

Saying and Doing

[Y]ou are quoted as saying you would sign a constitutional carry bill. Unfortunately, those words are meaningless unless an open carry bill lands on your desk. It’s time to take a cue from Governor Kemp and use your leadership position to pressure Republican leadership to follow the platform. [More]

Yep. He has the bully pulpit. Use the damn thing.

What the hell is wrong with Florida Republican "leadership"?

And nope: Our Braveheart up here in Ohio is still hiding under the desk.

Maybe It's a Scoop

 

Dated today, huh?

Back to the Party's Roots

 Literally hours after the Democrats embarked on a major offensive to abolish the filibuster as a tool of racists everywhere, they then…used the filibuster. [More]

And they helped the Russians to boot!

Desperate Measures

  The House is expected to take up an amendment in the coming days related to NASA leasing “underutilized” property to private groups. Democratic leaders are referring to this as the "shell bill." It will then strip that legislation of its existing language and replace it with the text for the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The House would then pass the updated bill and send it to the Senate as a "message." Then, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) will file a motion to concur with the House amendment. [More]

Oh, so it's all completely above-board then...?

Kinda makes you wonder why Oath Keepers are in jail and oath-breakers continue "to harass our people and eat out their substance"...

Disappearing Act

 NEA hid votes on 'white fragility,' Black Lives Matter, reparations amid new scrutiny - The nation's largest teachers union even scrubbed from its website its 2019 vote against 'renewed emphasis on quality education.' [More]

I can't help but remember who perfected that technique...

Accusing the Accuser

 Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby federally indicted on perjury, false mortgage application charges [More]

Not "absolutely" anti-gun Marilyn!

I'm surprised she didn't just go to George for a loan...

We're the Only Ones Federalized Enough

 Biden plans executive action on police reform to revive stalled issue [More]

Just like the Founders intended!

I wonder if he'll order them to go for leg shots?

About That 'Settled Science'

 Professor Ehud Qimron: “Ministry of Health, it’s time to admit failure” [More]

WHO?

So it's not just tinfoil hat anti-vaxxers challenging Twitter's and Facebook's Mumbai boiler-room "fact-checkers"?

UPDATE: Who are you gonna believe? The clean-up crew or your own lying ears?

I'd say it's been a lot longer than that.

A lot longer.

Americans May Finally Be Losing Confidence In The Woke Military [More]

We're the Only Ones Purging Enough

 U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger and House Sergeant at Arms William Walker are working to identify and root out police officers who might pose “insider threats,” they told lawmakers on Tuesday. [More]

We can't have people who put their oaths first and might question the lawfulness of orders.

Holding Their Breath 'til They Turn Blue

Arizona college students threaten hunger strike if voting bill isn't passed by Jan. 17 [More]

He Must Have Skipped Over That 'Polite Society' Part

 The other driver eventually went back inside his car to wait for law enforcement officers but Kuczwanski is believed to have then rammed his BMW into the driver’s door. He also allegedly pushed the car sideways in the parking lot. After hitting the white Prius with the driver inside, Kuczwanski shot at the car, the report said. The other driver also brought out a gun and fired back into the BMW’s windshield, hitting Kuczwanski. [More]

And it was his second "road rage" while armed incident?

If that's true, it sounds like FAAFO applies...

Degenerate Fools

 “This forces America, or at least the United States of America, toward an undeniable path of implosion, because truth can be ignored, reality denied all the way to the point that both of those things result in the utter devastation of the fantasy. [More]

That's the plan.

Another 'Single Issue' Tie-In

 In the comments, GOA and GOF wrote, “The federal government possesses only the few and limited powers set out in the U.S. Constitution. None of those powers give the federal government a general police power to order mandatory vaccines. The federal government has no other source of authority, such as the commerce power, to command health decisions by Americans.” The comments continued to argue that, “if the OSHA vaccine mandate regulations were to be upheld, it could readily open the door to the federal government infringing the rights of Americans in many other areas of their lives, including their right to keep and bear arms, which is why GOA and GOF have a particular interest in these proposed regulations.”  [More]

Vaccines and guns? But...but...but "single issue"...

Now do one for "immigration." And score the votes. And let us know why. Like Larry promised (@45:00 into the conversation):

“Well the answer you're going to get from us at Gun Owners of America is ‘Absolutely should be part of the scoring,' and it's something that we plan on including in our rating of Congress this and next year, because, as we've already discussed,  if we don't block this amnesty move — now — before we get 5 … 8 million previously illegal aliens now voting, 85% of whom are, they tell pollsters, gonna vote for anti-gun Democrats, that's the ball game. That's it. We lose our Second Amendment, doesn't matter whether it's still in the Constitution in writing or not, the National Archives can't protect it from this kind of assault. Seems pretty unequivocal. Seems pretty correct.”


Your Tax Dollars at Work

 Left-wing group secured $158 million taxpayer-funded contract to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation [More]

Funny. I don't see who at HHS authorized this. It's almost like by diluting responsibility no one can be held accountable.

I think I'm on the wrong side:

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