Among the Many Unanswered Questions
Among the many unanswered questions about the condition are what causes it, how best to treat it and how long the paralysis lasts. [More]I can think of one question that doesn't even look like it's being asked, at least, publicly.
What a Sick @#!*
Disgraced former lawmaker Anthony Weiner had a months-long online relationship with a 15-year-old girl whom he asked to dress up in school uniforms and be part of “rape fantasies,” according to an explosive report Wednesday. [More]And this guy doesn't think you and I can be trusted to exercise self-control.
Is YOUR Republican Congressman an Establishment Sellout?
And they say there are no stupid questions. [More]
Y'know, it would help if they printed the names on these things. Some signatures are so illegible I can't tell who they are.
Here's hoping I end up owing my guy an apology, rather than vice versa:
UPDATE: Looks like I didn't scroll down far enough. Guess I'm used to seeing names under the sig line. And nope, my guy has some 'splainin' to do.

Some in Alaska's establishment GOP not so secretly worked against Joe Miller in 2010 to back Murkowski. And now they expect everyone to eat it and like it in 2016.

End of an Era
Sipsey Street Irregulars is closing down. [More]
It's sad news, but not unexpected, and unavoidable, really. Without going into details I am not at liberty to share, I support Matthew in his decision to pull the plug.
I was not only there for the birth of the blog, I'm the one who badgered Mike into starting it. We collaborated closely throughout on stories and developments that only time will tell how much of a difference was made. My opinion is he did great work there that deserves a place in the national memory as long as the nation exists to remember.
For the present, the archive should remain. I do not know how long Blogspot will allow it to remain with no update activity -- perhaps as long as visitors come.
UPDATE: Several of you contacting me are, as Mike used to say, "leaping to illusions." This much I can tell you: Matt's decision was not because he was being pressured or intimidated. And don't buy into the creeping disinformation, posted by people who flat out don't know what they're talking about, for reasons only they can say.

Years in the Making
"The vetting process, while not perfect, is a very, very stringent, and it can take almost up to two years for a single refugee to make it into the country," he said. [More]So you'd say it's rigorous...?
I see that "two years" claim parroted a lot. I wonder if there's much of a difference between "can take" and "generally does take." And in any case, do you know who was admitted into this country "almost up to two years" prior to acting out?

Dueling Reid/Rubio Terror Bills Betray Constitution, Defy Reality, Trample Rights
It evidently doesn’t occur to either Republican or Democrat oath-breakers that terrorists and criminals have options other than gun stores and 4473s, and that if one did have a transfer denied or delayed, you might as well also tell him he’s been made and the government is closing in on him. [More]So both Reid and Rubio think the solution to this is more “gun control”? Are they out of their minds, or is some other dynamic at play here?
We're the Only Ones Erasing Enough
Two Kinds of Luck
The Pincer Strategy
One of California’s marquee tech moguls is dropping big money into two California ballot measures. Sean Parker, the billionaire founder of Napster and first president of Facebook, has contributed $400,000 to Proposition 63, a gun-control measure, and $3.8 million to support Proposition 64, which would legalize recreational marijuana. [More]They probably won't even realize that second bill will make them "prohibited persons." But those behind it do.
When Sean offers you another hit, he doesn't mean off the bong.
Unmasked
While attending Harvard Law School, Koh wrote in its Women’s Law Journal that “minority judges still need to maintain the disguise of ‘objectivity’” in order to be taken seriously in the legal world. [More]But she's no longer biased. Honest.
And not to be forgotten:
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Judiciary panel, was among the four Republicans who voted to send Koh’s nomination to a floor vote. The others were Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona.By the way, I had that model when I was a kid.

I notice Cato doesn't address that (or answer this) in its curiously timed bit of apples and oranges-mixing "left libertarian" globalist subversion and creative data manipulation. They never will because they know they can't. I hope to be expanding on that within a day or so.
Wronger Together
Blatant audience manipulation using popular entertainment to inject government propaganda? Sure. That's nothing new. And of course they think the audiences are non-critical thinking and driven by emotion -- look at what they're offering them to watch.
The case could be made that a network advertising the Clinton campaign slogan is the kind of thing PACs have to observe federal election regulations for. While getting a court to agree seems as impossible as costumed superheroes, you know that's exactly what they're doing <wink>.
Once a Traitor, Always a Traitor?
And now:
"The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”Still crazy after all these years.
You all remember Brady Campaign board member Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend from before Fast and Furious was exposed...?
American gun sellers supply the cartels with 95 to 100 percent of their guns...So what's she doing all chummy with Bush the Elder, whose "commitment" to his oath was so insincere he made a big public show of ditching NRA?

Can you produce credible data – not opinion, not anecdotes – something that can be independently validated, that “amnesty” and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals in this country illegally (and legally, with CURRENT culturally suicidal policies) WILL NOT overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners? Can you show us your sources and methodologies for determining this WILL NOT result in supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will then be able to pass all kinds of anti-gun edicts?
And can you demonstrate how this WILL NOT result in nominations and confirmations of judges to the Supreme and federal courts who will uphold those edicts and reverse gains made to date?
And then can you then justify why NRA -- mandated by its bylaws "To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States [and] To promote public safety, law and order, and the national defense" -- remains deliberately indifferent to the gravest threat to the right to keep and bear arms facing us?
Have you incorporated this into your grassroots programs? Why not?

A man in a private security uniform stabbed eight people at a Minnesota shopping mall ... [Chief Blair] Anderson said the man reportedly made at least one reference to Allah and asked a victim if they were Muslim before attacking them. But he declined to call it an act of terrorism, saying the motive was still unknown.Uniform? Mall security? The guys supposed to provide protection after requiring patrons to be disarmed? And good call there Chief -- guaranteed not to offend the "right people"! Using that same "logic," I guess Maj. Hassan didn't commit an act of terrorism either.
And what stopped him? A man with a gun. Duh.
I took this at a local mall in Akron, one that recently lost a major anchor and is quickly turning into a ghost town:
Sorry, guys -- if you want to compound brick-and-mortar non-competitiveness with a requirement to put my life in your deliberately indifferent and potentially malicious hands, I really can get most of what I need without checking my safety at the door.
By the same token, some of the higher-end malls around here are packed on weekends, with everybody out shopping like there's no tomorrow.
Perhaps they have a point.

The guy who rolled over for Obama's executive actions on guns despite a clear duty to defend state interests?
The guy who remains intentionally off the record on the Norquist/Bloomberg Amnesty Alliance? Thank goodness that -- aside from guaranteeing a "pathway to citizenship" Democrat supermajority allowing legislatures to pass whatever gun edicts they like and assuring friendly court appointments to uphold them -- this has nothing at all to do with that "single issue." Right, Messrs. LaPierre and Cox?
Oh, but he's on our side! He saw which way the political winds were blowing and backed a "right to bear arms amendment" (after voters showed what they expected)! He'd never betray us if political circumstances created different opportunities, like, say, Kirsten Gillibrand and Harry Reid (and plenty more I could name) did, would he? Those were just flukes when NRA allowed its members to be used and discarded, right?
Besides, the Republican he's running against, former SEAL and Purple Heart/Bronze Star recipient Eric Greitens must be a gunsquish RINO, right?
Ummm... no. No. And no.
So what kind of game is the Vulcan chessmaster playing here?
One thing you can be sure of: It will rely heavily on pawns.
