Coming to America

Too late-- they're already here. [More]

And the boyfriend wasn't armed?  No matter, seeing as how these guys being here isn't part of that "single issue," once the pathway to citizenship is paved and widened, that option will go away.

Ain't that right, Grover apologists? It must be, because not a one of you has answered my challenge to prove otherwise.

Security services have quietly acquired the details of every single person in the UK with access to firearms and put them on a database with known terrorists, it has emerged. [More]

We're the Only Ones Misconducting Enough

In all, Chicago has paid a staggering sum — about $662 million — on police misconduct since 2004, including judgments, settlements and outside legal fees, according to city records. The payouts, for everything from petty harassment to police torture, have brought more financial misery to a city already drowning in billions of dollars of pension debt. [More]

That said, Evan Nappen points to an important consideration the hit piece raises about caveats and what they have enabled.

Excuses, Excuses

Some are challenging the "debate video." [More]

Yes, it is edited. That was admitted to up front in the description "Response to Skeptics":
The unedited recording of the debate at Harvard was previously available at the following links on Vimeo. But once my message went viral, the anti-white activists deleted these public videos of the debate in order to conceal the truth. I will try to obtain copies and rehost them elsewhere. This just shows you how dishonest these people are: when you point out their hypocrisy, they delete the evidence.
One supposition is the participants were playing "devil's advocate." Since when would that be allowed with any "favored" group? Plus, sentiments expressed elsewhere by one of the participants make that unlikely. As do documented cover-up attempts. And what does it matter if it's a few years old? It's being talked about now because now is when it's being exposed.

Can't Be Trusted without a Custodian

Convicted Child Molester David Wilson Infected 2-Yr-Old with HIV Virus [More]
Here's a near perfect example of the truism.

Some things are broken, and can't be fixed -- at least with human certainty.

It makes no sense to integrate such monstrous aberrations back into the potential victim pool, and then say the "solution" is a "law" making something else a crime. Or it makes as much sense as saying a man-eating lion has served its time, opening the cage, and expecting it to not behave like a man-eating lion.

Nor is the predatory "solution" of confining or putting restraints on the rest of us tolerable.

Anyone who can't be trusted with a _______ can't be trusted without a custodian.

BFFs

(Click to enlarge)
Cruz said he has been ridiculed and attacked by such politicians for fighting "Obamacare" and defending the Constitution, but he — and his friend Utah Sen. Mike Lee — are "holding Washington accountable." He even hinted that he might consider Lee as a Supreme Court nominee if he is elected president. [More]
Really?

Questionable #GhostVote Campaign Puts Ghoulish Propaganda over Gun Rights

What they want useful idiots to do this time is virtually “adopt” a murder victim, insert their photo into a template, post it on their social feed, forward a copy to legislators, sign a (George Soros-affiliated) MoveOn.org petition, and be the victim’s “ghost vote.” I don’t suppose the irony of dead people voting in “progressive” strongholds has occurred to them — then again, perhaps it inspired them. And that perfectly complements another meaningless, invented term, coined to facilitate yet another avenue of disarmament: “ghost guns.” [More]
Ghoulish “Ghost Vote” outlines lend themselves to the alternative conclusion that victims the police could not protect were forbidden by law from the means of self-defense, and raise yet unanswered questions about compliance with DC ‘s “Defacing public or private property” ordinance.

Richard Ford’s Gun Problem

That's what it is. [More]

All those words notwithstanding, that's all it is.

What Sort, Indeed?

What you've got to ask is what sort of cravenly person wastes invective on me? [More]
A sadist/psychopath, Mike. An infiltrator/disruptor. Tellingly, someone who needs to, which means you're actually the one who has power over him. And yes, absolutely, a coward who must hide, because he knows what he is and is terrified others will see.

Such a demon-haunted creature cannot be happy or loved, or even genuinely liked. Talk about pathetic.

Nor is anonymity for perpetuity something anyone can count on. Trolls have been unmasked in the past and those hunting them are getting better at it, developing new capabilities and tools.

I doubt that headcase is sophisticated enough to cover his tracks against someone who knows what he's doing. They've stepped up to the plate before: perhaps your friends can help with retaining a consultant.

I wouldn't be surprised if, some day, you'll be able to buy software to do the job.

UPDATE-- the comments troll continues to crave attention. I said he's done here, and he is, but this one is too rich to pass up-- just received this:

You solicited multiple federal crimes on behalf of a third party. You should call a lawyer. That's black letter RICO. All that remains is to see how bad the USJD wants to seat a grand jury and destroy you. "DONE" was you the instant you posted your open solicitation for retaliation for a comment not made on your blog. You might slip by this one. Then again maybe not. But the Federals hate you, and Federal vengeance never sleeps. Sooner or later, they'll come for you.

Laughing at you here, you fool, but just to throw your pathetic ignorance back in your face, go for it: Tip 'em off: https://tips.fbi.gov/.

I "confess" that I meant everything I wrote above. I am offering a thousand dollars as the bounty to the first person who turns me in for this, to be paid upon my conviction on "black letter RICO" charges for what I wrote here. Anyone else reading this who wants to see me "DONE," feel free to forward this post link to the FBI, as I am certain puss boy here doesn't have the guts to do anything more than make ignorant, anonymous noise.

Like I said, pathetic.

Matter of fact, hold on a sec --  I'll snitch on myself, and the thousand will go to the troll on my conviction, provided he publicly identifies himself and proves he's the one.  I'll be right back.

We've also seen ludicrous proposals that avoid doing everything but what is needed, like shocking panties, and this indispensable accessory for women (and anti-gun males!) on the go. And don't even get me started on Porcupine Girl.

Yes, by all means, this can be a useful accessory in a variety of situations. Just be aware that many locales have "progressive" edicts that favor you getting killed over you being armed, even with a knife or spray.

What these folks really ought to do is reach out to Knife Rights and see what kind of mutual interest synergy can develop.

As long as he's certain of his legal position, why wouldn't he?  Because not doing so will only lead to speculation that it would reveal considerations that could make rulings go the other way.

Let me put it another way: You're an employer. You have multiple candidates for a vital job. You ask for documentation on application-claimed background information needed to meet essential hiring qualifications required by top-level policy, and he refuses to produce it.

Because of the outcry calling him on hypocrisy, Farah continues to offer self-serving excuses.

"If I were convinced" sounds  like it's coming from the same place the Clintonian "I do not recall" comes from. Who can definitively challenge it?

And who believes it?

Yo, Joe, did you even reach out to Cruz and press his people on why the only documents made public to date don't support eligibility, and the rest are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz has them released? Did you ask his campaign handlers why he just ignores and dismisses this, rather than putting reasonable fears to bed, and share their response?

Yes, this definitely goes back to Obama and the massive cover-up of his background, including his college and foreign travel records -- right down to the laughing things off. It even suggests Cruz himself may have been ineligible to become a senator at the time he assumed office. But what it suggests more than anything is an illegitimate government with clubs held over heads to keep those in the "opposition party" from pressing too hard.

That and a complicit media.

Here's a hypothetical: If you were on the jury for these nutjobs, evidence and testimony make it pretty clear they're guilty of threatening another person. But could you say --beyond a reasonable doubt -- they're guilty of violating the statue against threatening the "president," as defined by the Constitution?

Back to the main point: I see a lot of equivocation from Farah as he strives to argue principles. Unless he can say he's certain, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Cruz is eligible, and lay out a compelling case beyond "Billy's mom let's him do it" and "I'm tired," they're all just words.

There's no shortage of uninformed gun owners who, like in this case, not only don't want to know the truth but deny it and oppose others who bring it up.

Out of all the hundreds of comments, it's more than a shame that so few fully understand what's at stake. That's because it's not in the interests of those conjuring an illusion to promote reality. And the few small voices pointing out the naked truth are drowned out.

A demonstrable theme is how the gun-grabbers rely on manipulating the feelings of those who willingly put on blinders and practically beg to be suckered. "Our" side is all too often just as guilty.

Dominion

Troubling. [More]

Especially the theocratic takeover/"transfer of wealth" allegations. The commitment of a proclaimed "Constitutionalist" in upholding the Establishment Clause merits scrutiny given such a background.

That said, I can easily visualize the "other" team wearing black robes and chanting around a pentagram.

Those of you who are for Cruz: Yes, obviously the linked article has an agenda. but it's not about who is saying this or even why, it's about whether or not it's true, and whether it raises legitimate concerns.

We are individually culpable for what those we enable do with the power we cede to them through votes. So it's incumbent on us to do what we can to determine the truth beforehand.

And again, just like with the"natural born citizen" issue, instead of dismissing and ignoring it, Sen. Cruz could do much more to reassure those who are uncertain because of the allegations.

We're the Only Ones Plundering Enough

This financial incentive, combined with the relative ease with which law enforcement agencies can seize property, is a recipe for abuse, as the countless stories of innocent people subjected to abusive forfeitures attest. [More]
And while they have unlimited resources and get paid every step of the way, most of us would be hard pressed to take just a day or two off to appear in court, let alone finance a legal defense that would wend its way through the courts and appeals for years. Especially with our own assets being tied up.

So much for a main justification for even having a government in the first place: "...to secure the blessings of Liberty..."

What is the law?

Why not do the humanitarian thing, and have a secured route with transports to take them all to Merkel's German border, where an unlimited invitation and welcome has been extended?

It's a win-win.

Speaking of Mockery...

Many have asked me, “What about the question of constitutional eligibility?”
My answer is direct: Obama and the establishment media have made a mockery of the Constitution in many ways, but none more than their attacks on the “natural born citizen” requirement. So much damage was done to that simple clause in the last eight years, I don’t believe there’s any going back. [More]
Really?

So rather than explain how your position is consistent with the intent of the Founders and with Constitutional rule of law, you come back with the equivalent of "Billy's mom let's him do it"?

Two wrongs make a right?

You couldn't even pretend to find an argument to justify your unexplained polarity shift? Or if you could, you believe that counter-arguments are more credible, and leave you vulnerable with their inconvenient reminders of of your unprincipled surrender?

So if there's no going back on damage to RKBA in Democrat strongholds, we should just accept and embrace the infringements? Where else will your resignation to lawlessness lead?

The one person who can put a stop to all of this is Ted Cruz.

What, you mean the dangerous, America-destroying invasion of illegals across our borders you're helping with?

An Extraordinary Bethel Mom

I work in a retail environment and occasionally see a gun on a belt. Do I feel unsafe? Of course not! [More]
And she's not even a gun owner. But she certainly sounds receptive to being invited to an all-expenses paid range day, lunch included, by someone qualified to give instruction on a range of options. Maybe qualified women from an established, organized group could reach out, and extend the invitation to her husband, so she's not creeped out by an unknown stranger approaching her...

The conclusion to draw is more complex than the easy one we're being misdirected to. These are populations most directly affected by "progressive" power grab policies, from effecting generational dependencies for votes and control, to over-"immigration" for votes and control.

Then the social techs can apply culture problems incubated in their petri dishes to the entire damn experimental lab. Ergo, "we" need "gun control," etc. 

In a way, they're right, but not for the reasons they state: It is a "public health" problem.

No?
