A Regal Approach

Regal Cinemas Will Check Moviegoers’ Bags in Wake of Theater Shootings [More]

They'll only do it to the ones who value trivial entertainment over their personal sovereignty... I wonder who the corporate idiot is that came up with this bright idea.

Funny, Regal isn't listed as a likely survivor. Nothing like alienating millions of potential patrons when you're in a highly competitive market environment.

Do you think Regal will accept responsibility for the outcome of this imposition, and sign one of these, just to show us how much they really care about our safety, as opposed to covering their perceived liability exposure?

Bound by what, as defined by you?  Got an article or a section number for that? If you're going to impose obligations on us -- on me -- I need to know the scope of the sacrifice you require of me and of my children.

And a morality-based admissions policy...? What's the bar? What will the likely political results be? Got a litmus test for "decency," one that won't be revised for party advantage, challenged in courts, held up for years and guaranteed to do nothing but stall things until it's too late?

Again, I still have doubts about Trump and his motives, but they sure beat the politically-appointed diplomat's "plan," and without much greater elaboration, his "solution" appears naive, unworkable and ultimately suicidal.

A Carnival Atmosphere

The reasons for granting a new trial are novel and extraordinary. No less than three high-ranking federal prosecutors are known to have been posting online, anonymous comments to newspaper articles about the case throughout its duration. The government makes no attempt to justify the prosecutors’ ethical lapses, which the court described as having created an “online 21st century carnival atmosphere.” Not only that, but the government inadequately investigated and substantially delayed the ferreting out of information about its in-house contributors to the anonymous postings. The district court also found that cooperating defendants called to testify by the government lied, an FBI agent overstepped, defense witnesses were intimidated from testifying, and inexplicably gross sentencing disparities resulted from the government’s plea bargains and charging practices. [More]

"Ethical lapses"...?

Blue Privilege

The link for the following is a couple years old, but I hadn't seen it before:

“A hostile campus climate has been the norm for Students of Color in this class throughout the quarter as our epistemological and methodological commitments have been repeatedly questioned by our classmates and our instructor,” the group’s letter reads. The statement accuses “the professor” (it does not identify Rust by name) of correcting “perceived grammatical choices that in actuality reflect ideologies” and “repeatedly questioning the value of our work on social identity and the related dynamics of oppression, power and privilege.” The “barrage of questions by white colleagues and the grammar ‘lessons’ by the professor have contributed to a hostile class climate,” it continues. [More]

Insist on proper grammar in a college course: You're a racist.

My wife showed me a paper she got points taken off of from her undergraduate days, from a class taught by an instructor who would have agreed. Written in red, in the margin next to a sentence about the Tigris and Euphrates was the question "What about Tanganyika?"

I dunno, what about it?

Apparently, while her ancestors were painting themselves blue and living in caves, East Africa had spaceports or something.

Above a reference to "early hominids" was the correction "You mean humanoids."

See, my guess was right! Spaceports!

Dan Cofall Show Redux

For those who didn't know, couldn't listen or didn't give a damn about my appearance yesterday on the Dan Cofall Show, you now have another chance to not know, not listen and not care about my Cornyn bill observations.

Click here. Download Aug. 17 Hour 1. He introduces me @ 15:55 in.

One of the things about host-driven conversations is that you often don't have time or opportunity to fully explore, let alone bring up, all the points you were prepared to discuss, and I'd had two there was just no chance to get into, especially since topics were expanded in the second segment. Which gave us a chance to bring up some other good stuff, including NRA, GOP candidates and "I will not comply."

The first was suggested by colleague Laocoön, who emailed:

A so-called prohibited person should have recourse to appeal an adjudication to a fair jury trial, both for the right of the individual accused and for the public to keep a liberty check on any adjudication system, especially in quasi-criminal circumventions of jury trial like restraining orders, but also in mental adjudication cases. If someone is adjudicated to be unstable and dangerous, then they shouldn't be on the street at all. They should be in an institution. And they should have timely recourse to appeal to a fair jury trial to make sure it's not Soviet style adjudication ... 

I did get a chance to touch on that, just not to focus on it.

The second came from WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H:

[T]his is an important piece of information to offer as a reminder: the fact the USDOJ proposed back in January 2014 to amend the regulations to 'punish' (my term) those who were committed to OUT-patient treatment. That was not at all what the GCA '68 architects intended ...Does Cornyn seek to repeal that odious, hateful provision? If not, why not? And where does the NRA stand on "outpatient" discrimination?

Good points. I'd like to see answers.

Unfortunately, we still have no text. My guess is the response to those questions will be: No, because he doesn't perceive he needs to, and they're not even going to acknowledge that, let alone bring it up on their own.

Hot Pursuit

An Akron homeowner who fatally shot one of two men who allegedly broke into his home has been charged with voluntary manslaughter. [More] 

This happened right down the road from me.

I don't know if I'd give chase or not. On the one hand, we need to understand the legal environment imposed on us. On the other, the thought of letting these dangerous reptiles go to prey on others could very well be a death sentence for someone more vulnerable, and it's not like the danger could be deemed "over" with absolute certainty.

If I did end up in this situation, aside from clamming up with the police, I'd be working on my lawyer to present the following, or some similar line I'd expect the "Only Ones" and their union reps to use to get a "department protocol" ruling on their shoots:

My client was in fear for his life. He briefly followed the home invaders, to make certain they were leaving and not regrouping for a counterattack or a different point of entry. At that point, his attacker made a motion he perceived as a renewed threat with a weapon.

Waddya think? Got something better, share it. One of us may benefit from it some day.

The Prime Directive

“There are a lot of financial and business reasons why (companies) would want an H-1B worker over an American,” he said. [More]

How does that "supreme Law of the Land" go again, about the whole purpose why we have this government in the first place?  Oh, yeah:

Three for III

I’m Daniel Almond, and I’ve been literally waving the III% flag since 2009. I’m now running for a State House seat in Georgia, and it’s a 100% grass roots campaign. If you call yourself a Three Percenter, support the cause with just a few mouse clicks and keystrokes. Literally less than three minutes of your time... [More]

Daniel organized the Gravelly Point Park "Restore the Constitution Rally"  across the Potomac and in sight of DC, an event I was honored to be included in. Naturally, that got him inducted into an interesting "rogues gallery," highlighted for their thought crimes by our good friends the hive insects at CSGV, again, one I was pleased to be included in.

You can help his campaign here. That is, unless you think there are just too many people like him in politics already, and what we really need to advance RKBA and restore the Constitution are more Establishment-sanctioned "commonsense" bipartisan "moderates"...

There Will Be Blood

Rosie O’Donnell wants to smear menstrual blood ‘all over some people’s faces’ [More]

Seeing as how that's an excellent way to spread infectious diseases, a potential victim would be more than justified in standing his ground and repelling such a disgustingly insane assailant with a gun.

I love it when "progressives" show the world what they're really made of.

I also love how the "feminists" are all gaga over another cunning runt, the one who ran the London Marathon dripping menstrual blood to make some sort of statement "for an inspiring, empowering reason." Except why she didn't do that in India is another story altogether.

I like her statement of defiance:

If there’s one person society can’t eff with, it’s a marathon runner. You can’t tell a marathoner to clean themselves up, or to prioritize the comfort of others. On the marathon course, I could choose whether or not I wanted to participate in this norm of shaming.

Uh, yeah, in fact you can, at least if you try that here. And basic hygiene and sanitation expectations are hardly shame-oriented. I guess being a rich kid and daughter of immigrants, Kiran is far removed from India's massive cholera problems.

I'm not sure what the laws in the UK are, but you can't intentionally expose the public to biohazardous waste, and as marathons have on-site employees and volunteers, enforceable workplace safety rules exist as well -- you know, along with a host of other regulatory reasons that make artificially importing H1-B visa Indian tech workers so much more affordable for all concerned.

Still, I wouldn't mind seeing Kiran compete in a triathlon, especially if the swimming segment is held off Amity Island...

Hey, who's up for a diarrhea run to inspire and empower against the norm of shaming?

Hearing "Thanks for having me on" at the very start of this clip set the tone, at least for me. Like the guy has a choice?

I see the expected apologia for the Cornyn bill, which at this writing has still not been posted online, addressing what he calls "misinformation," while totally ignoring some key questions we really deserve answers to if we're expected to climb on board. Instead, we get competing rice bowl accusations instead of guarantees that the term "adjudication" they're throwing around provides equivalent protections to a jury trial, rather than just a rubber stamp from the bench.

Correlation = causation?  Then we must ban ice cream!

There are all kinds of statistical tricks going on to derive the above "claim," and John Lott shows us how they do the con.

There's one other factor, and that's the definition of "ownership," which is a legal and moral term. Mere "possession" of a gun does not qualify for the term any more than being a carjacker makes one a car owner.

No matter: Our Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists are on the job making sure the hive mind is saturated with the lie.  See for yourself how many iterations have been picked up by the Google News feed alone, and  then realize the message is also being propagated by TV networks, blogs, social media, etc.

Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy Redux

"They'll try to tell you it's about Benghazi, but it's not," Clinton said, pointing to Republican-led congressional inquiries that she said had "debunked all the conspiracy theories."

"It's not about emails or servers either. It's about politics," she said. "I won't get down in the mud with them. I won't play politics with national security," Clinton said at the annual Wing Ding, a Democratic fundraiser in northern Iowa that attracted three other presidential candidates. [More]

The Fix is In

Administration officials praised the ruling. [More]

Of course they did.

By the way, calling Larry Klayman a "gadfly": That's some objective reporting.

As for appealing to the Supreme Court, all they have to do is not hear the case.

There is one other "legal" option before deciding all judicial doors have been barred shut:

Precedent has already been set for a federal judge to issue an injunction against implementation of executive amnesty, albeit through a different route.

Back before Congress allowed guns in national parks due to a rider on a credit card bill, a move by the Bush administration though its Interior Department was halted by an injunction from a federal judge siding with a Brady Campaign complaint and ruling that no environmental impact study had been conducted as required by law.

Now that it appears the administration's amnesty action was conducted under DHS memorandum, the parallels are even more marked, minimizing potential executive action immunities. It would seem a lawsuit based on the same grounds filed in a carefully selected jurisdiction would have precedent to achieve the same results.

Yeah, I know, they'd just find a way to weasel out of that as well.  That's because the fix is in and those intent on fundamentally transforming are confident that any opposition will be small and scattered.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

The Finest Tyranny Money Can Buy

The recall campaign is getting down to the wire. The billionaires, and a cabal of leftist extremists, are doing all they can to, once again, thwart the will of the people.. [More]

Even if it weren't the will of the people, I wouldn't comply.  But that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight it with political tools available.  It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper to send OFF a few bucks than lose a life's work in legal fees, or even more by resisting soulless Sardaukar.

It also reminds me of the .50 Cal guy who only wanted to play with his "toys" adding distance for those who enjoy his "fine hobby" by calling us "those people."

There's a new paradigm, people.  When the old ways no longer work, it's either try different approaches or "lose" -- with all that implies.

Another Lie Exposed

You know, the one where all the "progressives" insist if blacks marched armed like Oath Keepers do, they'd be shot down in the street...? [More]

As long as they don't initiate violence, they won't be. The "authorities" wouldn't dare. Can you imagine what would happen in every major city in the country if they did?

Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Drive

In re the latest in the FBI/Hillary to-do: I still suspect that there is some kind of mutually assured destruction understanding going on with the administration, which is why she hasn't already been frogmarched out. My gut says they are desperately looking for a scapegoat, and if they can't find one, to incentivize a volunteer, a la Susan McDougal.

So does she have enough on Huma to "persuade" her to take the cup? If things really get hairy, will Bill jump ship and take off in the whaleboat by himself?

And what happens if she comes to a fatalistic "From Hell's heart, I stab at thee" conclusion, and "for hate's sake" spits her last breath in Obama's direction?

Yeah, if I went to a hotel with someone I just met and took off my clothes to shower, I'd at least expect lunch.

I have no idea what really happened, and if it's proven the guy did what he's been accused of, I say crucify him and hang a Jello Puddin' sign from his neck to generate ad revenue. But with all the opportuni$m I see suddenly coming out of the woodwork on this,  I'll need more than the salacious establishment  media giving free ad space to a Gloria Allred "press conference" in order to come up with a "Guilty!" verdict.

Power Corrupts and Woody Woodpecker Paraphernalia Corrupts Absolutely

A Facebook comment on a post promoting my latest TTAG piece brought back something I haven't thought about in, like, forever: My first management fail. More specifically, it was a Woody Woodpecker avatar that got me to remembering.

Back when I was probably around seven, falling for an offer on the back of a box of Rice Krispies, I enrolled in the Woody Woodpecker Club. My Mom wouldn't let me spend 50 cents on the hat, but I did get the ring and a membership card. I seem to remember the ring had a Woody stamp that would allow you to officially mark things.

Having all the official trappings of office, I formed my chapter. Since I had the One Ring of Power, I appointed myself President, and offered my older sister and two neighbor kids the opportunity to serve as minions.

Right out of the starting gate, the first meeting did not go well. Even though I was clearly President, because it was my idea and I had officially recognized status and everything, the insubordinate underlings wouldn't obey me when I tried to boss them, as was my clear right! Within moments I ended up sequentially yelling "You're fired!" at all three, saving the loudest termination for my sister, who by that point had become not just rebellious, but actually insolent, if you can believe it.

There I sat self-deposed and fuming, with no one to rule over, plotting my revenge against those ingrates. At least I still had the Precioussss...

My excuse is I was a kid. You have to wonder about "adults" who still make a point of showing everyone their rings, and issuing arbitrary commands to a membership that's not allowed to quit.

Even though I like to think I have lost all desire to control others, recalling this makes me realize I haven't quite shaken the cravings for power. I just emailed my sister the links to the old Kelloggs offer with the message "It’s not too late to apologize, promise to start obeying and reapply."

Let's see if she's matured any since then, and is willing to make some reasonable, common sense compromises.

Aside from that, if I'm reading this right, the Chi-Coms are gravitating toward currency market forces and the U.S. is arguing for centralized control...?

I never have really grasped economics beyond what's taught at Fr. Guido Sarducci's Five Minute University, but the one outcome I'm certain of: People who want more power and control over others will continue to manipulate, lie, cheat, steal and coerce in order to amass it.

Say gang, I've got a swell idea! Why not make sure they have a monopoly of violence, too?
