Vanderboegh warns against ‘delegitimized’ government at Texas rally

“Now let me show you who some members of law enforcement think is the enemy, who they train daily to engage and kill,” he announced as a poster portraying a stereotypical militia member was handed up to him to show the crowd. “This is a target used by the New Mexico Department of Public Safety."

Casa de la Muerte

The assertion that Comey played a role in the House of Death cover-up, in light of his pending nomination to be the top dog at the FBI, should be a big deal, given one of the FBI’s jobs is to handle informants during criminal investigations, and to also deal with the intricacies and sensitivities of law enforcement operations carried out on foreign soil ... However, the allegation that he did play some role in the cover-up is not based on a flimsy six-degrees-of-separation conspiracy theory. There is a long paper trail illuminating the facts ... again, ignored to this day by a commercial media now fawning over the impending nomination of Comey as the next FBI director. [More]

This Day in History: May 31

Part of the Virginia Light Horse crossed at Fredericks[burg] on Tuesday night; the Marquis' Troops (who are not strong enough for an action) were expected there last night, unless prevented by the enemy. Lord Cornwallis with the main body of the British army was at Hanover Court House (scarce fifty miles from Fredericksburg) on Tuesday morning, their object, no doubt, to defeat the Marquis' Troops before General Waine came up, or to prevent the junction: this intelligence comes from an officer sent express to General Waine and may be relied on. I think if the winds permit we may expect their fleet up this river in a very few days. Our situation in Virginia is truly critical and dangerous; a very few weeks, unless the enemy can be checked, will place Maryland in the same predicament. Nothing can speedily extricate the two States but the arrival of a strong French fleet which there is reason to expect every day. [More]

Anti-gun 'Demanding Moms' group fails to provide grassroots transparency

The antis know they can’t take our guns from us, so they’ve got to engage in deception to con people into believing momentum and political demand are on their side, and elite mother-fronters like Bloomberg have the wealth, the organization, the technical resources, the media reach and the political clout to produce powerful illusions to that effect. Once we realize that, we can see it’s all about masking the AstroTurf through a sophisticated technological and psychological exploitation of primal responses. [More]

Durbin shows as much respect for First Amendment as he does for Second

Think who it was who not only filed the initial reports on Fast and Furious “gunwalking,” but who cajoled and wheedled and begged for almost two months to get the media and political establishment to notice. Now recall who did not think the story was particularly noteworthy. 

Reflect on the virtual media blackout for updates on the case of the Reese family. And then remember what they didn’t tell you about John Shipley, or David Olofson, or Lawrence Mirsky or many others.

And if you’ve never heard of Wayne Fincher, don’t blame me. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that what "legitimate media" doesn't report is often as telling as what it does (and how it does it). That "progressive" politicians want to use the power of the state against those it does not favor should be all we need to know about their intentions, and should also be a pretty good indicator of why they demand control of all the guns.

New-fangled gizmos are tough for me.  When I was in college, the hot new bar novelty was Pong, so by the time the gaming industry took off, I was a "grup" and didn't have incentive to learn such things, which seemed geared for much younger people. That doesn't mean we hadn't mastered what was necessary: I recall (in the days when many smoked cigarettes at their desks) transcribing assembly parts lists onto 80-column forms to be punched into cards to feed a mainframe. My first "PC" had a 512K drive, an amber monitor and a daisy wheel printer. I recall being irritated as hell the first time I tried to use a mouse, because the damn thing seemed so non-intuitive. 

And when I see the ease with which feral sons Uday and Qusay navigate through all the intricacies of making what's on a screen conform to totally confounding controller commands, and all the stuff they seem to be able to do on devices called "phones" but that do so much more, none of which I grok or see as necessary, all I want to do at that point is keep small furry mammals from eating the eggs. Trying to learn to keep up convinces me if I'd been born a couple decades later, I'd have been a prime candidate for attention deficit drugs.

But for those of you who haven't outlived your usefulness and aren't obsolete, by all means, do try out this new application and make sure you let everyone know if you get value from it.
