Make Ohio GOP Senate Candidates Answer Unequivocally on Second Amendment

With that as the backdrop, and understanding the requirements for questions, what would you ask? Why not do so? [More]
Think of this as today's (or this weekend's) Five-Minute Activism Project. And I wouldn't just limit participation to Ohio gun owners-- after all, how a senator votes affects us all.

UPDATE: I sure hope I'm not the only Ohio gun owner who will do this minimal thing

Today, on Armed American Radio Daily Defense

I'll be talking with host Mark Walters this afternoon at 5 Eastern to discuss my latest articles and whatever else he wants to bring up. Join in via the AAR website to listen or watch via live-streaming, or to find a station near you.

An In-Kind Contribution

Now that Joe Biden’s president, the Times finally admits: Hunter’s laptop is real [More]

How is this not a conspiracy to alter the outcome of an election that, unlike the Jan/ 6 "coup," actually worked?

I note even with all the outrage, no one else wants to touch the Hunter Biden ATF gun cover-up but some troublemaking internet nobody...  

We're the Only Ones Condoned Enough

 “With his gun drawn, Schmidt approached the suspect and told him if he didn’t put his arms out like an airplane it was ‘going to be a bad day’ for him. Seconds later, Schmidt stomped on the suspect’s head, knocking him unconscious,” the office said. The man developed subdural hematomas, or brain bleeds, that required several brain surgeries, prosecutors said. Schmidt was fired from the department in 2020 after an investigation into the incident revealed that neither the officer nor his supervisor had reported the use of force incident. [More]

Interesting employee performance culture management is encouraging there...

We're the Only Ones Elated Enough

 I think the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigations needs a new comms person. 27 years ago they found part of a body, no hands, no feet, no head. They found the head a year later. They just identified the remains, and posted, “We are thrilled to reunite Katrina with her family.” [More]

O, tidings of comfort and joy!

Stick-in-the-Fudd

 Is the Biden administration about to betray America’s sportsmen and women? [More]

So the idiots are no longer useful?

No... That's Not True... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!

 Hospital staff told police their patient was not raped as alleged attacker was transgender, despite CCTV showing assault in ward [More]

Young Skywalker elaborates.

What kind of hater would argue otherwise?

Reality Check

 He says the war in Ukraine has boosted sales of the ammunition AK-47 rifles use because those rifles and similar models are being used in the war. That makes people who own AK-style rifles in the U.S. worried the ammunition they use could become scarce. [More]

It's almost like they've seen something the antis don't want us to know.

Conduct Unbecoming

 DC Circuit Judge Laurence Silberman sent an email to every federal judge in the country suggesting that students involved in last week’s Yale protest might not be suitable candidates for clerkships. [More]

I'm starting to like this guy.

We Should Probably Thank Her

 In 2017 Monica Cannon-Grant started a social justice group called Violence in Boston. She became an organizer of Black Lives Matter marches and was voted one of the Bostonians of the Year in 2020 by the Boston Globe. Now Cannon-Grant has been arrested and charged with defrauding donors of much of the money her organization collected. [More]

Look at it as that much less money that can be used to promote disarming the rest of us.

And Maura helped!

Contradiction in Terms

 Teachers’ Union Taps Liberal Watchdog To Help Students Identify Misinformation [More]

I was originally going to title this post "Unclear on the Concept," but they know exactly what they're doing.

That's What They're Paid For

 The point is to try and make the bill seem completely unnecessary and to make Republicans look like anti-gay hatemongers for pushing it. [More]

Well, if a "fact-checker" can't spin talking point narratives to try and discredit political opponents, what use are they?

Well THERE'S a Shocker

Fourth vaccine offers little protection against COVID-19 - study [More]

Gomer sounds like he expected it.

So what do we have here? "Settled science" or something else?

Conservative Sympathy for Russia in Ukraine War an Exercise in Cognitive Dissonance

Then ask yourself, were your homeland invaded, would you prefer to heed this character’s cowardly defeatism that “justifies” the aggressors and attacks the defenders? Why do Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally come to mind? And why are some ostensibly “on the right” treating his as a voice to be heeded and amplified? [More]

We all get that there are plenty of manipulative lies coming out of the West. But assuming the default position, that this means Russia is telling us the truth, undermines one of the greatest examples of why a populace should own military weapons.
