How do I put this delicately?

If you're a Nevada gun owner and you're not helping with this, if you're busted on a previously private transfer, expect the same level of support you have given for any appeal you put out.

We're the Only Ones Unmasking Enough

Members of Tufts University’s Greek system have been told they could face “serious disciplinary sanctions” — including a possible investigation by the campus police — for wearing Halloween costumes that offend peers or make the campus community “feel threatened or unsafe.” [More]

Parents Television Council Says The Walking Dead Crossed The Line [More]

I don't suppose parents parenting is an option...?

By the way, don't click the link if you don't want spoilers. I'm not happy that I did.

As Long as They're in the Neighborhood

Unable to vote in the presidential election, a group of undocumented immigrants is knocking on doors in Northern Virginia in support of Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates, convinced that the outcome of the vote will determine whether they can secure a path to citizenship in the country they have known since childhood. [More]

Hey, they ought to visit that big building on Waples Mill Road in Fairfax and say "Thanks for the deliberate indifference!"

After all, giving Hillary an advantage so she can sign executive orders and make federal court appointments has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Maybe Grover can come down and give them a tour.

Mental Influence

I'll say. Talk about mental. [More]

Figures they're for Hillary.

So are the commies, the Reconquista lobby and Islamist savages.

You Shall Not Pass!

I don't suppose it occurs to anyone that were "colored spaces" being coerced instead of "spaces of color," the Justice Department would be taking names and the National Guard would make sure there were no entry denials... [More]

And we're the "haters"...

Oregon Militia ‘Report’ another Astroturf-Funded Collectivist Smear of Patriots

With us being treasonous bigots and sociopaths as its major premise, we’re absolved of any obligation to wade through any more lies, no matter how exhaustively end-noted they may appear to be. We’re free to follow admonition #2 and “expose who benefits” from this slick piece of propaganda masked as “research,”designed to give collectivist politicians and LE fusion centers cover under which they can continue smearing patriots as “domestic terrorists.” [More]

Judging by the innuendo and conflation, it looks like foundation-funded commies don't approve of guys like me.

Hillary Clinton and the Chain of Command at Waco

Many politicians have a skeleton in their closet. Hillary Clinton has a cemetery, with a sign reading “Waco.” [More]

Activists Must Be on Guard against Entrapment

So while it may turn out to be a good thing that some low-hanging fruit was picked (depending on the results of their trial and not forgetting a presumption of innocence), it’s easy to get distracted. Especially considering how government, “progressive” and major media emphasis is focused on the patriot community while portraying imported Islamists as victims of intolerance. [More]

Let's be careful out there.

Snitches and Provocateurs Find Easy Pickings in Low-Hanging Fruit

Now’s as good a time as any to restate concerns and urge cautions in all our communications and activities, and to emphasize that as far as informants, undercover operatives and provocateurs are concerned, what you say and do not only can be used against you in a court of law, the person egging you on may be doing so specifically with entrapment in mind. [More]

The answer is not to withdraw.  Besides, you're already on "their list."

Hey, I thought Democrats were horrified by Trump sexually objectifying women. Where's the condemnation and disavowals?

Miller Campaign Points to Infiltrator as Latest Murkowski ‘Dirty Trick’

Nor is this the first time the Miller campaign has alleged evidence of the establishment-funded Murkowski using “dirty tricks” in its attempts to derail his grassroots challenge to the status quo. [More]

The real question this raises: What does Donald Trump have to lose by reciprocating and endorsing Joe Miller, especially after Lisa Murkowski just tossed him under the Hillary crapper bus?

GOA 2016 Political Ratings

With the caveat that I have not reviewed these to see how closely the commitment to score the "amnesty/pathway to citizenship" danger to 2A has been kept, experience tells me they're still going to be superior to the unreliable (and often deceptive) access über alles crap Fairfax puts out. [More]

Too Much, Magic Bus

Think of it as "progressive" environmental leadership. And they are all leaning "Forward Together."  [More]

Points of Clarification

Inspired by this comment...

The colleges involved are public.

Even so, private parties can and have been successfully sued for violating civil rights. Cases in point, landlords for rent discrimination, employers for EEO violations, businesses for segregated services... And Title IX opens college athletics programs up for all kinds of imposed requirements.

And then there's Section 1983...

It goes beyond race as well, and enters into the ideological -- hence we have lawsuits against Christian bakers for refusing to supply a "gay wedding" cake, and suits over "matters of conscience"...

Note I never specifically defined the legal action I anticipated as being limited to 2A  -- not being a lawyer, I'd hesitate to predict what role that would play as a part of a complaint. My contention here is that the college gun ban is not enforceable and is challengeable -- by the right plaintiff with the right lawyer producing the right arguments in the right jurisdiction. My opinion is that, if handled properly, it is winnable.

College Football Player Gun Bans Could Be Ripe for Legal Challenge

More than what?

The stupid gun ban extends beyond the field, beyond team activities, beyond the school. It intrudes and infringes on private choices to exercise supposedly unalienable rights. And while some may argue that many “college athletes” don’t have the requisite judgment and moral development to be trusted with guns, such rights aren’t something that can be legitimately withheld – at least without full due process and all that implies.  Barring that, any such mandates are capricious, collectivist, tyrannical and un-American. [More]

It would be interesting if a patriotic student athlete defied the ban, bought a handgun, informed his coach and was subsequently barred from playing. I'd bet on that game.
