Ohio Senate Republican Debate

 Five Republicans vying for the party’s nomination in Ohio’s 2022 U.S. Senate race participated in a debate hosted in Cleveland by Nexstar Media Group. The candidates addressed a number of foreign and domestic policy issues, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, school curriculum, and the role of former President Trump in the GOP.  [Watch]

What I didn't see was any questions from viewers that Fox 8 News had solicited.

 Project Veritas says feds secretly accessed its emails - Lawyer for hidden-camera-sting producer says prosecutors misled court, improperly prolonged gag orders. [More]

 Answers to Common Questions about Ohio’s New Permitless Carry Law [More]

It's a lot better than it was, but the many considerations show how "constitutional carry" has never been an accurate term. 

The Friend of My Enemies

Rob Pincus talks about his founding of I.C.E. Training Company, which provides training in firearms, tactics, and unarmed defense to military, law enforcement, private security, and students. He also shares his passion for firearms training and education, and how we can have respectful discussions in the gun safety debate. [More]

I figured after seeing this he'd identified a market opportunity among new owners who are fine with infringements as long as they have theirs. Kinda makes a feller wonder about those"Saviors" and their "single focus" motivations, you know?

"Imagine supporting the disarmament of the American people while standing in front of tools of a militarized police state… the very thing the founders opposed and not seeing the irony." [More]

Cognitive dissonance is only a problem for those aware enough to recognize it. So don't expect the #IStandWithUkraine "Scottish Mum" to be troubled by this (And incidentally, William Wallace called. He wants his bowels back.)

Another True Champion of the Second Amendment

 There are plenty of private shooting ranges across Colorado, so we’re not sure why the state decided to buy this range and compete with private enterprise by turning it into a state park. But it’s interesting the purchase was completed on Jan. 7 and Polis is just now promoting it. Was it something they polled? [More]

Hey, it worked for Harry Reid...

The Wokest Place on Earth

 Left-leaning cast members are free to promote their agenda and organize on company time using company resources. They call their fellow employees ‘bigots’ and pressure TWDC to use corporate influence to further their left-wing legislative goals. [More]

So when do they rename the company and tear down the statue?

Consider the Source

 Nobody self-owns like the New York Times. [More]

"Where did you get your information?"

That is pretty funny.

We Feel Their Pain

 Grassley added that President Joe Biden’s administration has withheld an estimated 48,000 documents “under the Presidential Records Act and FOIA exemptions. That’s a lot of hiding.” [More]

'Settled Science'

Adventures in Baselessness

The Georgia Elections Board has approved a subpoena to secure evidence and testimony in an ongoing investigation into whether third-party liberal activists illegally gathered thousands of absentee ballots in the 2020 general election and a subsequent runoff that determined Democrat control of the U.S. Senate.

The Waiting Line to Hell

  Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed legislation that would have required county clerks to keep processing concealed pistol licenses during state-declared or locally declared emergencies. [More]

It's indicative of a tyrant, but my first reaction is "Who would let that stop them?" Nonetheless, that a supposedly free citizen could be punished for this is beyond an intolerable act. 

But hey, enforce existing gun laws, right?

Adaptive Tyranny

 So, it seems the Democratic strategy is to decrease, then increase, then decrease gun dealers in order to reduce violent crime.  [More]

Timing is Everything

Bill Barr slams Biden for 'lying' about that his son Hunter's laptop was 'Russian disinformation' and says his claims were verging on 'election interference' ... In the book, he said he yelled at Trump for asking him about Hunter Biden's laptop in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election  [More]

And then he killed any hope for a special counsel.

Idiot, traitor, or both?

Trump sure knew how to pick 'em.
