Filling in the Blanks

 Bridgewater College tells students to shelter after reports of active shooter - No details yet on whether anyone has been shot or killed, officials said a person was in custody [More]

Let me guess: He's with Campus Young Republicans?

Air Force Nurse Denied COVID-19 Vaccine and Flu Shot Exemption

 Once his leave has been fully used, they will put him on excess (no-pay) leave and process him for separation. He will not qualify for a board unless they push for an Other Than Honorable discharge. [More]

If that happens and he fights it, what else could he lose?

All Clear!

 Henthorne said the suspects had fled the scene right after the shooting... Law enforcement officials have determined there is not an ongoing threat to the public. [More]

Whew! Thank goodness that's over!

Small World

 I know you’ll be shocked, shocked to discover that Contreras was appointed by Obama. [More]

He's the guy ATF is asking to kill my Hunter Biden complaint.

With Republicans Like These

Once again, the House Republicans have declared a complete and unconditional surrender to the Democrats. [More]

Second time today I've called on a Democrat for relevant commentary...

Be It Resolved

 Arizona Republican Party, Maricopa County Republican Committee Adopt Election Integrity Resolution [More]

This is what those who do the cheating dismiss as "baseless" and then up the ante with escalating character smears and lies.

Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics

 High number of firearm recoveries underscores America's worsening gun violence epidemic [More]

Boy, based on her output, it looks like Priya Krishnakumar really doesn't like guns!

So much so she pads "recovered" statistics with buyback numbers?

Preparing Them for the Real World

Math professor adopts ‘ungrading’ method: only feedback, no grades on any assignment [More]

Well, the generation was raised expecting participation trophies...

So magna cum laude and summa cum laude are discriminatory racist colonial vestiges that have no place in a forward-thinking equitocracy? And look for the same thing to happen with employment reviews, particularly after the capitalists sell us enough rope?

The Height of Madness

 A Dunkin’ customer has revealed the surprising reason why some stores have height charts on the door. [More]

If this is true, I would think any business that combined such charts with a "No Guns" policy would invite a "knew or should have known" liability...

Taking the 'Cracker' Out of 'The Nutcracker'

Princeton ballet club to ‘decolonize,’ calls ballet ‘imperialist, colonialist, white supremacist’ [More]

And these are gals who know something about white privilege.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise...

 Man Arrested For Vicious Antisemitic Attack On Two Elderly Jews In London’s Stamford Hill ... Most media reports have been silent on the attacker’s identity and motives. [More]

They're not suggesting there may be a reason for that, are they?

[Via Michael G]

Whose Border Is It, Anyway?

 Cartels Have Operational Control Of US Border, Are "Terrorizing" The US... [More]

Brought to you by traitors.

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

[Via bondmen]

Adventures in Baselessness

 SHOCKING TESTIMONY Reveals Democrats Were Stealing Overseas and Military Ballots from Michigan, Georgia and Now Arizona Too [More]

And then there are the mules...

There's only one word that fits.

A Grave Mistake

 Fund proposed to pay for burying children killed by gun violence [More]

Up to 17? What if it's the result of something they started?

[Via bondmen]

A Public/Private Partnership

 San Jose's Insurance Requirement Is Privatized Gun Control - Politicians deputize the private sector to restrict rights protected from the government. [More]

You know, economic fascism...

[Via bondmen]

Appealing to the Better Angels of Their Nature

 ‘Don’t carjack me, kids inside’: Woman creates car magnet after crime spike [More]

She assumes they can read? If they can, why not just have them say "Guaranteed defenseless"?

This thing writes itself!

"Real reporter" Kenny Lopez: How do you assure everyone "these magnets are sending a powerful message" with a straight face? I guess the question here is, are you that dumb or do you just know your audience to be?

[Via bondmen]

When 'Settled Sciences' Collide

 Israel: A Profile in Vaccine failure and a Warning to the World [More]

Meanwhile, over in Denmark...

And meanwhile, over here, I see rich Canadian import Joni Mitchell has joined rich Canadian import Neil Young to side with Fidelito against the truckers and demand Spotify remove her catalog.

Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now?

How many millions more deaths will she demand before she's satisfied?

No One Lies Like Gascón, Bolshevize Like Gascón*

 Soros-Funded DA George Gascón Rationalizes Crime-Wave Epidemic [More]

I'm not going to give him that out. That's what he tells useful idiots. He's an embedded communist domestic enemy who knows exactly what he's doing and why.

"Not evil just wrong" my ... eye, Grover.

That Wasn't Very 'Commonsense' of Him, Was It?

 The owner of an Ohio gas station defended his business against an armed, would-be robber by pulling out his own gun. [More]

Why didn't he follow grabber advice and just give the parasite what he wanted?

And then there's:

Moment brave California jewelry store owner single-handedly sees off smash-and grab hammer gang with his gun [More]

I find it curious that both men come from demographics that are typically not very "gun-friendly." Here's hoping they don't turn around and vote for politicians who undermine them.

A "Let Them Eat Cake' Moment

 "I mean what does that even mean, right? [More]

Yeah, who cares what violence people in "alternate universe" urban minority areas have to bear the brunt and live in fear of, right, Democrat spokesflackette?

If you didn't vote for that, how did "Brandon" put it...?

[Via Jess]

The Reign of Error

 Multiple public safety bills head to committee ... These bills - if passed - would change what people can and can’t own, and will lay out the new penalties for those who break these laws. [More]

There's something about a committee of public safety...

Infringing on the 2nd to Discourage the 1st

 After the changes, the city of Richmond was able to impose much tougher rules with regard to carrying weapons, to the point where a major state gun rights umbrella group called the VCDL (Virginia Citizens Defense League) canceled “Lobby Day” protests this year. [More]

They've tried other tricks in the past, too, as I seem to recall: fencing the area off, closing streets, deliberately sabotaging permits... 

But even when you obey the rules they still call you a violent insurrectionist.

A Kennedy quote comes to mind.

The Wrong Target

 3D printer, several weapons discovered inside home where suspect accused of shooting 3 HPD officers surrendered - Former U.S. Attorney saw rise in crimes involving parts manufactured by 3D printers [More]

So is the solution to blame printers and "ghost guns," or to make sure someone who demonstrably can't be trusted with either doesn't have access to victims?

[Via Lane]

Hitting the Buffers

Putin Is Already in Cuba and Venezuela - Now Russia and China are helping Maduro militarize the Colombian border. [More]

As long as you're fighting in somebody else's country, you're not fighting in your country. Basic Clausewitz applies.

I don't suppose we could make a deal with the devil...?

[Via Agustin B]

Another 'Great Leap Forward'...

 ...New Era Civilization Practice Centers... [More]

I wonder what we'll call ours...

How about "Golden Corral?
