A Cold Day in Hell

On Tuesday and Wednesday, more than 1,000 law enforcement officers fanned out across San Francisco and San Mateo counties to serve warrants and conduct probation searches as part of Operation Cold Day ... Authorities declined to say if certain gangs were targeted, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. [More]

Yeah, none of the reports seem to want to give out any identifying information. I guess if a threat is still out there, they want us to be surprised.

Y'know, 90 guns out of 75 arrests does not a "pipeline" make, not that I want to cast any clouds over their moment in the sun. Still, that's a hell of a lot of resources for such a pissant historic haul, not that any "Authorized Journalist" would broach such an impolite observation during the media victory event.

Without a Trace

For calendar year 2016, ATF’s NTC traced more than 364,000 firearms.  In the Caribbean countries of the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago a total of 2,340 firearms were traced.  In the Central American countries of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama, a total of 5,728 guns were traced.  Pistols again topped the list as the most recovered type of firearm, except for Haiti, where shotguns were the most traced firearm. During that same time, the NTC traced 13,452 firearms recovered in Mexico, and 1,549 firearms recovered in Canada.  [More]

Mueller Backers Should Be Confronted with His Past Hedging on Government Killing American Citizens on U.S. Soil

“Does that only apply to a U.S. citizen that’s overseas, or does that apply to a U.S. citizen that’s here?” Rep. Kevin Yoder asked then FBI Director Mueller about an order from Attorney General Eric holder authorizing the assassination of Americans fighting on the side of “terrorists.”

“I’d have to go back, I’m not certain whether that was addressed or not,” Mueller replied. [More]

For some reason I'm reminded of a routine that took place in the cafeteria of my freshman dorm. There was a football player, a guy who went on to play pro and even earned several Super Bowl rings.

One of the guys from my floor I regularly ate with was the same height as me and even skinnier (I was 6/2" and 155 lbs. at the time, so you can imagine), and every time the player passed our table, my buddy, under his breath just loud enough for us to hear, would mutter things like "Come on. I'll fight you right now, motherf*****."

I guess you had to be there, but Jeez that was funny.
