Issa responds to Holder: 'You own Fast and Furious'

What's Brown and Stinks?

This piece of tyrannical crap. [Read]

What's pathetic is I've been consistently warning Californians against him, and some of the "pro-gun leadership" there have publicly dismissed that as because I and others "don’t understand CA politics, or because they have non-gun-related political axes to grind."

I won't be surprised when I see that "pragmatic" group scapegoat the open carriers for provoking this new edict--as if a right that can't be exercised is something to aspire to.

And you wanna know what stinks just as badly as what the governor just dropped?

Kevin Starrett attempts to impart a higher education amidst the hysteria. [Read]

Special counsel for Gunwalker must be truly independent

While an independent counsel is needed, expecting a truly independent one to be appointed by a department that is up to its neck in stonewalling and cover-up, by a president whose own role and interests are appropriate for scrutiny, is at best problematic, and at worst a recipe for ensuring those responsible for “Project Gunwalker” are never held accountable for actions that have resulted in human deaths on both sides of the border.

The riot, which began on October 4, 1779, after the British Army had abandoned the City of Philadelphia. Lawyer and Congressman James Wilson (1742-1798) had successfully defended at trial 23 people from property seizure and exile by the radical government of Pennsylvania. On October fourth, "A mob whipped up by liquor and the writings and speeches of Joseph Reed, President of Pennsylvania's Supreme Executive Council, marched on Congressman Wilson's home at Third and Walnut Streets. Wilson and 35 of his colleagues barricaded themselves in his home, later nicknamed Fort Wilson. In the fighting that ensued, six died, and 17 to 19 were wounded. [More]

The inclosed extracts contain substantially the most authentic intelligence I have received of the enemy's motions and designs. You will perceive they are making large detachments and that the Southern states are spoken of as a principal object. The particular corps too which are mentioned point that way: They would not separate their grenadiers and light infantry but for some important coup de main; and this I imagine is the manner in which they would proceed against Charlestown: Nor do I see where except with you they can intend to employ their cavalry. But there may be a mistake in this part of the intelligence, from the difficulty of ascertaining corps with precision, and some movements among those which are specified may have occasioned a deception.

Funny how national socialists like to throw the "N" word around.

My favorite part of this story is actually the comment by disgusting police state apologist "kannemartin":

Yeah, and I'm sure she exhibited the same level of competence. Wonder how many innocents she victimized in her tirelessness...

And why the hell don't we know this incompetent disaster's name?

I'd Like to Thank the Academy

This was a total surprise.  I made sure to let all know that Mike Vanderboegh shared in it, as did many folks who, for now, must remain anonymous. 

So was this. Mike got one, too.

Actually, up until about a week ago, the fact that I was on the agenda to "speechify" was a surprise, too.


Thirdpower has a bunch of photos posted, here and here and here.

The Gun Rights Policy Conference was a pretty cool event--got a chance to network with a lot of folks, meet and re-meet  a lot more, and importantly, participate in several foundational meetings regarding a Gunwalker documentary being undertaken by an established professional, Fleming "Tex" Fuller.  More on that to come. For an indication of what kind of access Tex is capable of getting, watch all four parts of "First Strike."

I'm particularly grateful to Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman. I'm very glad I finally made it to one of these.  What a lot of hard work and expenditures they put into this.

"But most media are playing them down"

Yep. [Read]

Hard Questions

Here's an easy one:

Why are you still calling this criminal conspiracy "a failed sting"?

Me Bitching Again

Read what Mike had to go through to make our latest story happen. Not just a mental ordeal, but a very real physical one for someone with his health conditions.  No hyperbole, that's the kind of stuff that could kill him.

I throw my hands up that a guy who  had to borrow money for gas to get home has thousands of regular readers, and the vast majority who receive regular value from his contributions seem utterly indifferent to his survival via a voluntary subscription or an occasional donation.

So who's going to fill the void if he cannot continue? 

The "Authorized Journalists" ignoring Gunwalker have T&E accounts and get their flights and hotel rooms and meals paid for--along with nice salaries, as well as broad and deep organizational resources.

We are bringing stories that no one else is.  Elite media still has not said word one about Indiana gunwalking or the chief counsel's email to Melson setting the stage for official whistleblower intimidation...hell, as far as they're concerned, this ain't even a scandal yet--and we'll see if our latest smoking gun reaches outside our limited readerships.

Plain and simple: It will not unless you share the links.

You  personally.
