Last evening Capt. Lieut: Kirkpatrick and myself were taken under Guard and confined to my tent, this we understand is by order of Major General Knox—Captain Bushnell of the Corps to which we belong gives us not even the disposal of our Baggage—How much the feelings of two Men who have served with reputation as Officers six years in the Army under your Excellencys Command are injured cannot be discribed—to be thus insulted and have our dignity trampled upon is to be wretched indeed.

We're the Only Ones Picturing Enough
A deputy sheriff in the Columbia County Sheriff's Office was arrested Tuesday after allegedly taking nude photographs of a woman without her knowledge and posting them on the Internet.

Catch-22.1
“We advise intelligence whistleblowers to stay away from established channels to defend against retaliation.

A Stench of Racism
"In the current stench of racism and division amongst Americans, why would Target single-handedly disrespect Quvenzhane Wallis and add more pain to injury as it relates to race relations?" she began. [More]You're right. There is a stench around here. Guess where it's coming from, racist Opposite Day "progressive"... And as an aside, if your daughter really did ask that question, which I doubt, you've failed as a parent, and you might want to spend more time working on your own incompetence and less on blaming whitey.
I'd say if this is all someone has to belly-ache over, they've got things pretty damn good over 99% of humanity since the line began. It's not like Annie hasn't been thought of in a more prevalent way for well over a century.
Gee, the preference for what's worked successfully and what hasn't couldn't have anything to do with even the "progressive" New York Times review concluding the reboot "cast would have been better served by a middle school production overseen by a creatively frustrated, inappropriately ambitious drama teacher than by this hacky, borderline-incompetent production," could it? Or a less-than-mediocre score on the Tomatometer (which noted "Annie hints at a progressive take on a well-worn story...")? Or that it may not even make back its production budget?
Or maybe it has something to do with who the foreseen customers for the clothing line are...?
Maybe the problem is the "progressives" at Google are racist, too.
This is the kind of utter crap that truly feeds the flames of racism. Those responsible for adding to the hate at every opportunity are every bit as culpable for violent consequences as those egging on a lynch mob.
Still, not all are without empathy for the pain.

Opportunities abound for New Year's gun rights resolutions
After the ball drops, who will have a better 2015, Michael Bloomberg or gun owners? That really depends on you. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes with so many options available, there is no excuse for not doing multiple somethings. Regularly.
What ISN'T Reported
A casual review of TSA-reported violations shows an average of 37 loaded firearms found across the country screened and stopped by security - that from May 23 - Dec 26 2014.
If one believes the reported failure rate of TSA screening or, say even a much-less 10% fail-rate, then one would have to assume that a loaded weapon makes it into the passenger compartment of an aircraft once a day/365.
With 365 days of chance you'd think there would be CATASTROPHE in travel. Yet we know most of the seizures are accidental in nature (non-excusable) and that the ones that make it through to destination are oft times discovered in-route and reported by the passenger later upon arrival.
Because of the LACK OF CATASTROPHE, one HAS to come to the conclusion that these are honest mistakes by honest (white-hat) travellers -- despite what the boogie man infers.The numbers on all counts may be even greater: This TSA Blog post from August shows "38 Firearms Discovered This Week (32 Loaded)." And while TSA contests reported failure percentages, the point is even more taken.
Ticking Time Bomb
It's not just ILLEGAL immigrants who will render the GOP irrelevant. [More]
Rick Oltman has been doing ground-breaking work on this very issue for years. He has some new numbers worked up that a few of us have been privy to over the last month, and he's planning on publicly releasing them soon. They do not look good.

Yale gun prohibitionist shows ‘highly developed’ aversion to inconvenient truths
To paraphrase her fellow citizen disarmament aficionado Bill Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of the word “developed” is. In this case, it’s a buzz word for committing a familiar old prohibitionist scam, as the chart Yonkers links to unintentionally demonstrates.

The Content of His Character
A south suburban man who, according to prosecutors, posted on Facebook earlier this month that he wanted to “kill as many cops and unarmed white kids as possible” and kept a makeshift shooting range in his basement was ordered held in lieu of no bail in Cook County court on Saturday. [More]But there's a wrinkle:
But the owner of the home told the station that gun belonged to her and that Woodfin does not pose a threat to the community ... "He was speaking his mind," Beatrice Franklin told the station.See, he was "outraged." And I'm sure commensurate understanding would be extended if a white person posted about killing "as many ... unarmed black kids as possible."
Even if the gun is hers, the fingerprints of a "prohibited person" on it would make for a case. Thing is, if we're going to have consistent justice and not prove out the "progressive" charge of racism in selective prosecutions, isn't there someone else who's left plenty of evidence of gun-handling while under "disability"?

We are the Federales
This Day in History: December 29
The Idea of many of the Military being interested in the Independency of Vermont in consequence of their having taken Grants of Lands under them I believe is without foundation. There was a Period when the Disposition of Congress, founded on political Expedience, appeared so favorable to the Independence of that District, as to have induced some Gentlemen of the Army to apply to the usurped Government for Grants: But when it was discovered that they were intriguing with the common Enemy, the more respectable Characters withdrew their Applications and relinquished all kind of Connections with them and even those who did not go so far I immagine conceive themselves as perfectly secure under our late Acts.

When in Mumbai
It makes sense, if you think about it, to not offend people in their own home, and to be sensitive to customs and mores that may be unfamiliar or alien to us but are natural and simply good manners to the culture in which we place ourselves. If we find we cannot abide by such customs, unless part of a compelled government presence, in which case prudence should preside, no one is forcing us to go there. [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes cultural diversity hardly demands traditionally-recognized rights of Americans be abridged to satisfy the demands of foreigners yearning for more despotic rule, just like in the old home tyranny that spawned them.
GOP felon Grimm shows true gun-grabber colors

Also unclear is if he had in mind a carve-out for former FBI agents, the same way federal law exempts them from concealed firearm prohibitions.

Another Vigilante Gun Death!
According to police, three juvenile males from Middletown approached two adult males outside the Dayton Mall around 10:00 a.m. Saturday. They say one of the juveniles produced a gun and demanded merchandise from the adult males.

That teen, identified as Jawaad Jabbar, 16, died from a single gunshot wound. [More]If only they would disarm you and me!

DeWine reverses decision to ignore improved law enforcement training
It is admittedly unknown if such training, had it been seriously adopted and conducted, would have mattered in the Crawford and Rice cases, or if the specific circumstances leading to their shootings would have shown Ohio law regarding openly carrying arms to be irrelevant. Would it have made a difference if DeWine (and Cordray and Rogers before him) had acted on the documented warnings? That is a question for attorneys for family survivors to pursue, and if they do, it will be up to courts to decide. [More]Today's Gun Rights examiner report notes another reversal from a guy who seems to specialize in them whenever they're the political thing to do. Noting the truism about "progressives" and Opposite Day, is it any wonder the Brady Campaign praised this fraud as a "principled statesman" -- until he figured out which side the votes were on?
Sorry, No
The plan was to repeat the failed "Operation Wide Receiver" under Bush that had actual real tracking devices installed in the weapons, and was shut down when the bad guys discovered them and removed them. But obama and holder conspired to do the same WITHOUT tracking devices to lay the blame on the American gun owners as being a bunch of illegal gun runners to Mexico and use that as an excuse for more restrictive gun laws or outright registration and confiscation. That is why obama claimed EP to hide the truth that he ordered holder to run the gun running scheme. They are still hiding the truth and we may never get the "smoking gun" (pun intended) that would convict the both of them. [More]I don't know where you're getting your information from, but much of it simply ain’t so. I have written many times about Wide Receiver and Mike Detty, the CI who was at the heart of the operation, which a search will bear out. Direct quotes from Mike: “While there were a couple times during Wide Receiver that tracking devices were placed on cars there was not a single weapon that was outfitted with any kind of tracking instrument.” [AND] “It had nothing to do with Bush or even DOJ...”
I wish I knew how this stuff got started, and why the truth is so hard to get out there -- no doubt because "legitimate news media" has no interest in using their megaphone to do so on certain topics.
