Reset

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday threw out a 2014 federal court ruling that upheld new Colorado gun laws. [More]
I suppose we should view this as an incremental "win," but why anyone should have to go through this "legal" nonsense in the first place is an intolerable outrage. Is that because no one running things is smart enough to understand what "shall not be infringed" means, or is there a different explanation?

And yeah, I agree. Stupid question.

Using Administration Criteria, James Taylor Contest Discriminates and Disenfranches

That would be the same George Will who wrote:
Whatever right the Second Amendment protects is not as important as it was 200 years ago, when the requirements of self-defense and food-gathering made gun ownership almost universal. But whatever the right is, there it is ... Gun control advocates who want to square their policy preferences with the Constitution should squarely face the need to deconstitutionalize the subject by repealing the embarrassing amendment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Once we welcome more in, secure their position and get that unopposable political majority we're rigging, we'll be in a better position to pass all the "common sense gun safety laws" we want!

You, on the other hand...

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"! Right, Grover-supporters?

The Daily Bern

[More]
I ran across this tweet on the Twitter page of the hate-filled nutjob Bernie supporter who jumped the barricade and lunged at Trump in Dayton the other day.  Murty here says he's "a journalist at The Intercept," which, as you can see for yourself, is a propaganda rag in the tank for Comrade Sanders.

"De-Baathification, eh? Purged?

How very "progressive."

Hey, "due process" is overrated anyway, or at least inconvenient -- plus unnecessary once control is established --  right?

Don't dare reveal yourself as an enemy of The New Order. And we have ways of outing you even if you don't.

I guess I'd better not say anything-- I wouldn't want the hive insects to attack me again for objecting to being "bundled off to Bagram."

Ah the hell with it. Some of us will not go gentle into that good night.

UPDATE: I guess the way I wrote this has confused some. I'm not saying Murty was the Trump-lunger, I'm saying I became aware of his tweet because it was posted on the Trump-lunger's Twitter feed:


In Defense of Ted Cruz

I won't repeat the innuendo here -- or maybe I will and just not give the guy a link instead.

"The Political Insider" is strongly hinting Ted Cruz had an affair. That's what headline surfers will remember and what political enemies will spread as fact.

Foul.

If the guy has proof of what he's implying, he owes it to his readers to produce it. Otherwise, this comes off as just a libelous hit job by someone with an agenda the day before significant primaries.

Weasel-Wording with Kasich

No, no, no, I didn't say path to citizenship, I said path to legalization. [Watch]
Besides, who's interferin'? We're takin' over.

Right, Jojo?

That's the prerequisite step to citizenship. What the hell do we see unfolding before our lying eyes with "[t]he Obama administration's efforts to transform the nation's electorate through immigration"?

Once they're in, how would you "legally" stop it  from happening?

What an "assault weapon"-banning fraud. His only "regret" was it wasn't "effective."

Kasich: The choice of The Boston Globe. Yeah, that Boston Globe.

And also the choice of the Lairds of Fairfax.

Yes, Prof. Quigley? You wanted to point something out?

I guess tomorrow we'll see how many stupid Ohio Republicans there are.
