With Friends Like These

It’s a beautiful day, and Pearl Jam’s social media comment sections are up in arms because the band’s latest concert poster features an illustration of the White House engulfed in flames as a bald eagle strips flesh from the flaxen-haired carcass of Donald Trump. The alt-rock vets shared the poster from last Monday night’s (August 13) show in Missoula, Montana, which doubled as a get-out-the-vote event supporting the reelection of Montana’s Democratic Senator Jon Tester.  [More]

Riflemen, This Fight is Yours

The Proper Solution

The proper solution may lie in creating competitive platforms, or in legislative, regulatory or judicial action. [More]
While I don't like the prospect of government action, I don't like even more the prospect of the enemy giving itself a pass on "progressive laws" that already affect others, like those on antitrust and collusion. Especially when the upshot of all this is to influence who will rule and what diktats they can get away with...

It'll be less disruptive than tumbrils in Silicon Valley...

Here's the most compelling argument I've yet seen. This kind'a looks like "hoist on their own petard."

Their "pro-gun Democrat" senator sucks, too.

I guess enough "progressives" of the pink pussy hat-wearing variety have fled the nests they fouled in California and brought their culturally suicidal impulses with them.  That and the preponderance of Fudds marginalizing the minority that gets it don't help.

Dreams of Urban Peace

The decision to spend $100,000 to bring the 50th annual Miss Black America pageant to Kansas City one year after the NAACP issued an advisory warning black people about the dangers of traveling in Missouri was a well-intentioned attempt to be inclusive. But the city’s direct answer to the advisory is a short-term fix to long-standing problems. The pomp and pageantry of this weekend’s event won’t resolve the ongoing issues that compelled the civil rights group to issue the travel advisory, the first of its kind in the nation. [More]
Dang.  How marginalizing! If that doesn't work, what will?

Best Practices

Mass killings, and especially school shootings, are terrifying crimes that seize the nation’s attention. After each, many instinctively ask “why did he do this?” and “what can we do to stop it?” Best-selling author and attorney David T. Hardy here concisely answers these and other questions, based upon careful study of specific cases. He probes the mental states that make mass killers willing to kill (and usually to die), establishes what the killers are after, and outlines what we should do (or not do) to frustrate them. 
Well, I guess we can listen to him or listen to the Junior Gauleiters and all disarm.
