Notes from the Resistance...
I swear I just snorted up my breakfast over this story. A Dallas County commissioner is demanding that a colleague apologize for using the term “black hole.” The unhinged official called the phrase racist and insisted on replacing it with… “white hole.”I guess this means Disney will be accused of racism?
The paper goes on to rip apart the media in blowing up these technopanics, often using outright incorrect or made up data, such as the idea that "50,000 sexual predators are online at any given time," a favorite of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The problem is that this number was made up out of nowhere.And from this, legislation is enacted.
The Fort Lauderdale police chief says he is concerned about his wife's safety if she remains in jail.Huh. How many non-"Only Ones" has the chief presided over the incarceration of, and this is the first time he's publicly expressing concern for prisoner safety?
A televised debate between noted gun rights attorney/author Evan Nappen and the President of CeaseFire NJ is scheduled to air on Sunday, July 13 at 12:30p.m. on WWOR-TV (Channel 9). The name of the program is Real Talk.If you live in the area, you might weant to watch or record this. I looked at the My9 website, but couldn't find more detailed info and didn't have the incentive or patience to explore it. If you do see it, let us know how it turned out, and if a link to the debate is ever posted, please share it.
A Merrillville police officer fired last year has been charged with sexual battery against a 16-year-old girl he pulled over.Nazi Rolf, your cue:
You are sixteen going on seventeen[Via Shermlock Shomes]
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and roues and cads
Offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am [36] going on [37]
I'll take care of you
"It's not a dumb rule."
A Central Florida police sergeant has been arrested on suspicion of throwing a female to the ground at a party, pulling her pants down and spanking her with a belt...And apparently it's not the first time a female has accused him of corporal creepiness.
Senior centers and retirement communities are looking for new ways to promote exercise in order to stave off physical decline. Older people interested in honing their self-defense skills, meanwhile, are delighted to find that something they already own can be used as a weapon.I suppose it's better than nothing, and perhaps instilling an instinct to resist may deter some would-be attackers, but really.
A General Court Martial of the Line to sit at Head Quarters, in Cambridge, to morrow morning at Nine OClock, to try Col. Scammons of the Massachusetts Forces accused of “Backwardness in the execution of his duty, in the late Action upon Bunkers-hill.” The Adjutant of Col. Scammons regiment, to warn all Evidences, and persons concern’d to attend the court.That piqued my curiosity, so I found this:
On the other side of Charlestown Neck the situation was no better. Colonel Scammons was ordered to lead his regiment across the Neck "to the Hill", but with almost inexcusable stupidity, he marched his men to Cobble Hill, a feeble elevation on the landward side of Charlestown Neck and stayed there, never crossing the Neck to reach Gridley's Redoubt. Meanwhile, at the same spot, Major Scarborough Gridley, Colonel Gridley's older son, was also malingering with his artillery company, refusing to cross the Neck. It was at the very time his father was in desperate need of artillery assistance--and himself loading the last remaining cannon beside the Redoubt.The battle was a loss for the Americans, but at a heavy toll for the British. Imagine how emboldened the cause for liberty would have been had these officers acted differently and deployed their resources to tip the scale to victory.
Then, back at Bunker Hill, there was Colonel Masfield with his regiment, ordered to go to Prescott's aid. With Colonel Scammons, the two colonels, with 700 fresh men with full ammunition pouches, simply sat out the battle watching Major Gridley fire pop shots at the British Symmetry and Glasgow.
A name can reflect a state of mind or an ideology. Take, for instance, Gunslinger in Oak Lawn, Ill., or Ready On The Right in Kailua, Hawaii. Or you might choose to convey the threat implicit in the merchandise, with a name such as Ready Aim Fire in Bristol, Pa., or Smoking Barrels Guns in Lutz, Fla.Or we could just do things your way and set up local chapters of Slaves-Я-Us, you smug, historically-ignorant idiot.
"And we've seen that, just getting a concealed carry permit, all that means is that you haven't committed a crime yet."--Daniel Vice, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership Senior AttorneyErgo, we are all criminals--some of us just haven't acted out on our evil impulses yet.
And the question is, is the individual’s right superior to society’s right?So in other words:
[T]he needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...Or the one.And then distilling that nonsense into its true meaning:
From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need.Ben thinks I ought to tear into this dopey grinning Marxist, quoted here, but I think he did a fine enough job already.
Another gambit by anti-gun organizations is to include older teens and adults in their calculations, in order to produce at a scarier number, implying that eight children a day die because “gun lovers” only care about “their rights.”Bingo!
“The people shall have a right to bear arms...” This is unequivocal. No limitations are stated anywhere in this constitution; therefore none are allowed.
[I]t will not affect its continued enforcement of all existing federal firearms laws."BATFU presses onward, unfazed, unchecked and unconstitutionally.
Surveillance video from inside Reagan National Airport shows Robin Kassner standing with a TSA agent who sorts through her bag.In non-"Authorized Journalist" speak, that means a thug assaulted her from behind.
Moments later, a Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police officer steps in and pulls Kassner to the ground.
What do battered women have in common?That "punch line" seems to be SOP for anyone they get under their control, and Officer Michael Urbina has proven himself to be quite the "Only One," don't you think?
They just don't listen.
A former Michigan City police officer has been sentenced to three years probation in a case that began when he was accused of engaging in a sexual act with a female prisoner.Hey, it's not like he's the "Only One" to engage in misconduct, falsify reports, betray trust...
Under the direction of former Sheriff Brian Gilbert, the Dallas County Sheriff's Department hauled in millions over the course of several years -- and then Gilbert got a little too greedy, making off with paper sacks containing $120,000 seized in a traffic stop.Not only does it enrich enterprising "Only Ones," it funds the police state.
Gilbert's punishment was a suspended ten year prison sentence, five years' probation, and a term of make-work "community service."
The Democrat-controlled North Carolina state senate overwhelmingly passed legislation requiring that anyone in the state who by law has been committed to a mental health facility will have their name entered into a national database to prevent them from buying a firearm.
