Wide Receiver ‘Good Samaritan’ clarifies role in OIG ‘gunwalking’ report

“I recently had a conversation with another AUSA from the Tucson office,” Detty recalled. "Regarding OWR he said you have to look at the end gain-what was it? To see where the guns were going? We already know where the drug cartel kingpins live and operate. To seize their assets? They'd only be able to seize assets in the US-which were very little. Why commit all these man hours and millions of dollars to arrest people for straw purchases? The only answer that makes sense is to have these guns show up at Mexican crime scenes." [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report fills in some details the Inspector General didn't go into.

IG Fast and Furious findings corroborate earlier Wide Receiver reports

The point being, these are but a few examples of innumerable reports filed in this column and at citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh’s Sipsey Street Irregulars blog that have since been proven through “official” sources, albeit, there is often a significant lag time between sourced claims and validation. [More]

Today's Grammar Lesson

Remember diagramming sentences?

I do, vaguely.  I'm fortunate that, as a good monkey with highly-developed imitative skills, I've always read a lot and been able to absorb what feels right as opposed to actually understanding why it is--when younger, it allowed me to place highly on my college aptitude tests, bypassing freshman English and going right into composition classes.

Had I not, I'm sure my eyes-glaze-over ADD (something that hadn't been invented yet back then, but boy, do I have it bad when something bores me) would have derailed me on the basics--I actually wonder how I'd do if I had to take one of my old fourth grade grammar tests today, and don't do so with confidence.  I think that's one reason why I have trouble with foreign languages--they start you out with equivalent principles, and when you start talking infinitives and past participles and predicative adjuncts, hell, I was staring out the window when they talked about that stuff in English--I'll be damned if I'd know what to do with the frickin' things in French.

Anyway, W3, who is smarter than me, or at least more disciplined and mature, calls our attention to a diagram of the Second Amendment that he found while "running rabbit trails looking for other information."

Don't ask me if it's right.

It does remind me of another deconstruction, a rather brilliant one, I thought....

We're the Only Ones Psychological Enough

Officers have to go through a stringent hiring process that includes a psychological examination. The same is true for federal agents. [More]
Yeah, and we see every day how that works out.

This is the kind of editorial horse droppings that would be easy to come up with link after link refuting it, but with the outrageousness of "Officer Anonymous's"  presumptions and the obnoxious way he presents them, particularly with his purposely offensive "Red Dawn" segue, there's really only one fitting response for this oath-breaking, cowardly parasite, and it does not involve debating something that is off the table and improper for the help to question anyway.

We're the Only Ones All Bottled Up Enough

He said the officer drew his gun and held two people at bay...[More]
And naturally, "police would not immediately identify those involved because no charges had been filed in the case."

No one was vindicated of anything. "No evidence" must be viewed in light of such evidence being withheld.

And how do you "penetrate drug cartels" by letting unsurveilled guns walk, where the only part of the "design" that gives feedback is when they are found at Mexican crime scenes?

OIG Fast and Furious report requires analysis before media jumps to conclusions

At this point, more questions can be raised than answered, particularly as the report totaling over 500 pages with attachments must be read, digested, and understood before meaningful analysis can take place. That has not stopped the search term “clears Holder” from already becoming the meme du jour on the “Authorized Journalist” Google News feed... [More]

DOJ and Media Matters coordinated Fast and Furious reports

“Nice to know the Gunwalker criminals are paying attention,” Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars observed in his response to the story, which included emails where Media Matters’ Matt Gertz told DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler that Vanderboegh was “three inches away from being an insurrectionist.” [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some media matters that Media Matters would rather not have attention called to them. It also includes links to responses from Mike, from Dave Workman and from Kurt Hofmann.

The emails sure fixate a lot on Mike. I like the way Gertz says he's "three inches away from being an insurrectionist."  Just how long is one, anyway, Matt?

Mike responds. As usual, I'm jealous.  What the hell do I have to do to be condemned as disreputable by these characters, put a national socialist in uniform?

I'm also kicking myself. Here's an email I sent to Mike and some of our advisers in April:

That won't ever happen in "gun friendly" Evansville if the very people pretending to support the right to keep and BEAR arms publicly scorn regional pioneers of the practice as "fools."

Arab Spring

I don't know who couldn't see the Libyan or Egyptian blow-ups coming. Every time "we" engineer the removal of a strongman, the gates of hell open up.

Tell me State doesn't know that.  And count on it.

And the reaction from our "leaders"?

Apologize for hurting their feelings.

I understand the producer of the "film" cited as the catalyst for this latest eruption of ignorance is in hiding--from seeing the trailer (trust me, don't waste your time), I'd be in hiding too, just out of shame for producing such an amateurish piece of crap (although I wonder if he's got room in his refuge for everyone dumb enough to let him put their names and faces out there).

The question our "Authorized Journalists" need to ask--and most won't:  What effect have weapons and other material support provided by the U.S. and its allies--first to the regimes and then to the opposition--had in all this?

So much for buying friends. "It's about growth and business" my...eye.

How many more young American lives are going to be thrown into this new outbreak and pay with blood for the ambitious manipulations of the spiders at the center of the web?

And you'd better believe Putin and Hu Jintao won't be compelled to feel less adventurous by this forced demonstration of international impotence.

It seems the only ones cowed and subdued by domestic Leviathan are We the People, the heirs of Liberty...and some are increasingly questioning if they really should be, especially when they note Elvis has left the building.

The Lamest Show on Earth

Today’s Republicans do not. Indeed, they cannot, because they have accepted the progressive framework. Their argument is not that the welfare state, deficit spending, federalized education, sharia-democracy promotion, and the rest are bad policies. Their argument is not that Washington needs to be dramatically downsized. It is that progressive governance is fine but needs to be better executed. [More]
