Now they are ready to make their move and I predict it will consist of a number of assaults on the American people. In fact, some of them are already in the works... [More]Too bad it looks like this is going to come to a head by requiring some to put it all on the line--no doubt many of the same ones who have been doing the work to resolve things by less terrible means. If it does, it will be as much on the heads of the lazy and apathetic as it is on the enemy who gauged a lack of commitment and deemed it safe to press "forward."
Dallas County prosecutor charged with DWI called officers KKK members, black sergeant an “Uncle Tom” [More]It's not like we haven't seen this exact racist sociopathy / blameless self phenomenon before... and I recall seeing it from time to time before that.
The Founders saw that personal and societal corruption was indeed the predicate to tyranny, that it made it inevitable. And who among us, regardless of his or her religious beliefs or moral compass can deny that our society, today, in the 21st Century, is perhaps the ultimate expression of corruption, venality and moral decay? [More]Vanderboegh brings us Part Four.
The Officer who is the bearer of this, has in charge a number of Marine Prisoners, who were lately captured by a party of Troops on the Sound—There is amongst them one Hoit who has a Commission in the Refugee Corps, but who by his conduct in several instances since he was taken, particularly in attempting to induce Soldiers to desert, does not appear to be worthy of a Parole—Not knowing what was best to be done with these characters I have sent them to your Orders.

Bergen Record Reporter Covers Anti Gun Orgs Without Disclosing His Affiliation With Them [More]That's why Dianne Feinstein would consider him a "real reporter," Joe Biden would consider his paper part of "legitimate news media," and anyone with principles should consider him a Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist.

By changing the rules, ATF has closed down a means by which people who lack the equipment themselves to finish off a part will be able to exercise their right to build a firearm, a practice many rely on, particularly when completing so-called “80 percent” precursor receivers. [More]Happy New Year from your friends at BATF-You!
"I can understand why people say tying a woman up and spanking her is misogynistic. But actually, more men are submissives than women. Very powerful men," Dornan tells the magazine. "It's a far bigger scene than I imagined: in pretty much any city in the world that you could name, people want to get spanked with a paddle with studs on it." [More]How very hip and "progressive." For some reason it reminds me of the Timothy Johnson/David Brock relationship.
He said he was supported by the NRA for many years until he refused to vote on a bill that would allow guns into bars, something he said flew in the face of common sense. “I had friends I grew up with who would forget they had a gun and then they had about six drinks and then they remembered they had one,” he said. “It doesn't make common sense — alcohol and firearms. They say it’s Second Amendment rights, I don’t think that’s what the Second Amendment is about. But they have the right to feel that way.” [More]What can one say but "Good riddance"?
The video raises the question, how much force are deputies allowed to use? [More]As much as they think they can get away with.

[More]
“I am a Clergyman it is true, but I am a member of the Society as well as the poorest Layman, and my Liberty is as dear to me as any man, shall I then sit still and enjoy myself at Home when the best Blood of the Continent is spilling?...so far am I from thinking that I act wrong, I am convinced it is my duty to do so and duty I owe to God and my country.” -- Peter Muhlenberg, Pastor, Colonel of Virginia militia, 1775 and later Major General, Continental Army. [More]Gee, he wouldn't have fit in very well with these "faith community" groups, would he? ("Progressives." Opposite Day.)
With that being the case, if no one gave Sincic permission to bring a firearm or imitation firearm (as the one in the video may be) onto school property, it's presence becomes a legitimate matter for public and legal inquiry. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report actually agrees with an anti-gunner and encourages everyone who is not a coward to share! It also notes it sure would be nice if these people demanding new laws would exhibit an understanding of those that already exist -- maybe by not breaking them in front of everybody...
In light of recent developments nationwide since events in Ferguson and agitation from race profiteers began ginning violent anti-police sentiment in urban areas nationwide, it might be prudent to anticipate what it would take to precipitate a nose dive in high-level policing. It’s not hard to conceive of situations becoming so dangerous that those who wear uniforms will think twice about responding in certain areas, leaving citizens in those neighborhoods on their own. [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes sometimes, all we can do is watch people face the inevitable consequences of their own choices -- that and make sure we don't succumb to the same...
CA IMPLEMENTS FIREARM RESTRICTIONS ON NEW YEAR’S DAY [More]The Council of Apes there have a penchant for flinging their feces in gun owners' faces around the holidays.
Your garbage man has a risk of death twice that of a cop. [More]I'll bet he wants to make it home at the end of his shift, too.
Authorities told CBS Los Angeles the are attempting to discover where the grenade came from and who its owner might be. [More]But where to even begin looking...?
Who are the Pasadena embezzlement suspects Danny Wooten, Melody Jenkins, Tyrone Collins? [More]Just on a hunch, I thought I'd try to find out if they're part of the "blame guns" crowd. The connection is tenuous, but led to something I thought had relevance.
Police Officer Mirjan Lolja, 37 was suspended after he allegedly attacked the 28-year-old transit employee on a Bronx subway platform by putting her in a bear hug, throwing her to the ground and choking her. [More]Well hell, it's not like this is a time when NYPD needs all the friends it can get...
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 will not trouble your Excellency at this time with an account why we are treated so unprecedented and singularly, this from prisoners is never so well received. [More]
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. [More]I like the way the sheriff characterizes this guy creeping, peeping, snapping and posting as "bad judgement" and "unfortunate," and then insists it's not a reflection on his office.
A Georgia police chief called 911 early on New Year's Day to report he had accidentally shot his wife twice... [More]Talk about doing a double-take...
“We advise intelligence whistleblowers to stay away from established channels to defend against retaliation. In our experience they’ve been a Trojan horse, a trap that ends up sucking the whistleblower into a long-term process that predictably ends up with the whistleblower as the target.” [More]Savvy insiders know that. Hence, this.
"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.
It is intended by adopting this mode, that those meritorious men who have been debilitated in service shall be borne on the rolls of their regiments and receive their Provisions and other allowances accordingly untill they have an oppertunity of returning to their own States; [More]I'll be exploring 1783 this year.
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.
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.
"We agree with EPA that it lacks statutory authority to regulate the type of spent bullets and shot identified in the environmental groups’ petition," Judge David Tatel wrote for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. [More]I wouldn't relax just yet. They'll be back with something else. They always are.
It was finally agreed between commissioners to allow all those who had made it to the British lines by 31 December 1782 to leave. Anyone who arrived after that date would be returned to their former situation (slavery). [More]
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. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes Opposite Day "progressives" doing their best to reduce a "highly developed" nation to a Third World totalitarian rat-hole.
Across the country, 50 officers were killed by guns in 2014 ... [More]You mean "with guns by murderers"...?
If LEOs aren’t being taught that in their classes, they are being misled and put on the street without the proper training. That’s malfeasance on the part of the chief LEO. [More]And on the part of the AG if you make him aware of it...
Instead of engaging physicians to fix these issues, Obamacare welcomes them as the straws stirring a toxic drink of paternalism and unsustainable deference to people who have no legitimate intellectual or moral claim to the work they’re being asked to do. [More]Vik Khanna looks at what should be considered actionable malpractice issues.
Tom H. Hastings is PeaceVoice Director and teaches in the Conflict Resolution program at Portland State University in Oregon. [More]That must be why he proposes starting a civil war and has created such turmoil, generating no shortage of responsive comments telling him what an idiot he is.
With the Decree of Trenton on December 30, 1782, the confederation government officially decided that the region belonged to Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania ruled that the Connecticut settlers ("Yankees") were not citizens of the Commonwealth, could not vote, and were to give up their property claims. [More]
Look for the phenomenon to grow as more gun owners take notice and decide the most effective activism may be to repurpose Nancy Reagan’s “Just say no” slogan. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the most significant stories may be the ones most have overlooked.
We have the means to secure our own liberty and property and lives. We have but to recognize it. [More]Vanderboegh is masterful in this first installment of a promised series.
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."
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.
