Anti-Gun Snoop Dogg’s Settlement with Underage Girls Deserves Amplification


It’s time to turn up the volume and blast out how the “progressive”-minded should be outraged over Snoop’s role in his “Girls Gone Wild: Doggy Style” video, when he was doing the important work of luring underage girls with drugs (settled out of court for undisclosed terms) to behave like drunk/stoned exhibitionist sluts for GGW founder Joe Francis, himself convicted of falsely imprisoning and assaulting women, “grabbing one … by the hair and throat and slamm[ing] her head into the floor.” [More]

The plan is modeled after the surgeon general’s warning required on cigarettes. [More]
Yeah, after all those years and all that unconstitutional interference, does anybody have a handle on how many lives have been saved because people were persuaded to change their behavior by a label?

Here's a challenge for Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.* It's something I like to ask all self-appointed "experts" who have zero experience-based knowledge:

You're in your office and you suddenly hear a series of loud bangs, possibly followed by terrified screaming and sounds of panicked people trying to escape. Then you hear more bangs, closer this time, and maybe some hysterical pleading or moans of agony. Whatever it is, it's coming your way, approaching your position. It will be upon you in a matter of several seconds.

Bloodbath in downtown NYC after driver shoots pedestrians from his truck [More]
Let me guess: A Trump-supporting Republican NRA member with a concealed carry permit?

UPDATE: Back from some chores.Well the story sure has changed in the past couple of hours since this posted. At the start, de Blasio and Shepard Smith were both tripping all over themselves to assure us this was not an act of terrorism. Then we find out the guns weren't real firearms and the assault weapon was a licensed and registered truck, the driver of which was overheard yelling "Allahu Akbar!" Then the mayor, police commissioner and governor gave an "our thoughts and prayers" platitude/bromide-laden "press conference" to assure us all New Yorkers are tough and there is no wider plot, even though ISIS evidently put out a call for Halloween attacks.

Still to be determined at this writing: Whether I can use the word "rigorous."

I dunno, Ms. Adams. Looking at your inclusion and description of Oath Keepers, it seems like you should have added "by SPLC" to that headline.

Still, I guess it is "fringe" for someone counting on everyone being equally incurious and lazy.

Gun Charge Gives More Character Clues to MLB Anthem Protester

With the understanding that due process requires a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, it’s also understandable that many Americans are unsympathetic to seeing him get into trouble in a crime of violence case involving a gun. That’s because, even though he was a rookie, he was the only Major League Baseball player to take a knee during the national anthem, and also happens to be a supporter of “progressive” politics, foremost of which are demands for more gun laws.

I watched "Arrival" last night on Hulu.

"The ATF has put a temporary ban on new gun licenses, forcing many independent suppliers of hunting equipment and firearms to close their doors to the public."
