And Now for a Brief Interlude
The Man Who Would Be God
I’ve listened to the people at 40 town halls across America in the past year, and it’s become clear to me that we need a new set of 5 RIGHTS — 5 essential protections that can never be taken away by any politician...1. The Right to an Equal Vote2. The Right to Clean Air & Clean Water3. The Right to Learn4. The Right to a Living Wage5. The Right to Health [More]So rights are bestowed by benevolent despots? He can just do this by edict, because "democracy"? And you have a right to compulsory services from others?
Isn't there an Opposite Day "progressive" slogan for that?

Just the Facts
Why do I find working for the Chicago Housing Authority every bit -- if not more significant -- than his having a concealed carry permit? [More]
Ditto on Play Misti for Me not exactly fitting the "right wing extremist gun nut" profile, although "Milwaukee Don" says more facts are yet to emerge.
Not that it will stop the "Concealed Carry Killers" crowd from pointing to these anomalies as examples of why you can't be trusted...

First Month Of Red Flag Law Draws 114 Requests For Removing Guns [More]And we've already chalked up a headline-making success story!
I wonder how many partners of the guys responsible for this dare file complaints.
Gotta keep those streets safe!

Slide into Madness
"Even though it was closed, the plaintiffs were easily able to move the unsecured gate at the entrance to the Pipeline Slide and climb the stairs to the top of the slide," claims the lawsuit. "Without any employees present to instruct them, the plaintiffs were not aware that they needed to have the slide sprayed with water, nor did they know that they needed a burlap sack to safely go down the side." [More]So they deserve what, aside from injuries sustained?

On the plus side, have I got a lawyer for them.

With Republicans Like These
Speaking Thursday at the National Immigration Forum event "Leading the Way: An American Approach to Immigration," Lankford said lawmakers can find things to agree on, like granting citizenship to those brought into the U.S. illegally as children ... But for those who have been here legally present for 20, 25 years, those folks should have access to be naturalized and to be a part of our culture and be able to be here"... [More]I don't agree.
What won't these appeasers sell us out on?

On the Plus Side, It Looks Like They Won't Burn Him for Heresy
Even Astronauts Fear the Left [More]
Scott Kelly is the left. Because he can still be useful, they'll conditionally absolve him after sufficient public penance.
The fact remains: Without Churchill, the war would have taken a very different course. That worthless beneficiaries have squandered a legacy bequeathed them through unimaginable sacrifice and now attack his statue is par for the cultural Marxist course.
As is Scott's forced recantation.
It really is a religion, and a jealous "god" at that.

Opposite Day 'Progressive' Grassroots in Action
92% of the contributions in support of this initiative came from just 10 donors. Steven and Connie Ballmer donated $1 million. Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control group founded and funded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $250,000. Lenore Hanauer donated $100,000. Sibyl Frankenburg donated $100,000. Steven Kessel donated $100,000. Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, an election arm of Bloomberg's gun control group, donated $59,500. 78% of contributions to this initiative came from just three families (Paul Allen, Nicolas and Leslie Hanauer and Steven and Connie Ballmer). [More]Don't you just love all the usefully idiotic railing against "The One Percent"?

'Democracy' in Action
The LA Times reports that the accused would lure the homeless to forge signatures for ballot measures in exchange for cigarettes or a few dollars... [More]Why would they need to in L.A.?
[Via Michael G]
As long as I'm on the subject, I never said we lived in "a democracy." I have to be able to use the word if I'm going to point out some of the pitfalls. The parting "civics lesson" reminds me of this exchange for some reason:
A Great Leap Forward
Why Not Just Put in in a Basket and Leave it in the Bulrushes?
When Clinton’s director of strategic communications informed Javits Center attendees that Clinton would not be speaking, Tamblyn came to a grim conclusion: “A dark realization swallowed me: I was going to bring a baby into this world. And not just any baby: a girl.” Tamblyn recalled imagining if she should give her baby away to Canadians or Swedes. [More]No doubt the child would be better off as far away from this head case and her kind as possible.
Can we glean anything about inner cognitive dissonance by noticing she instinctively picked predominantly (as yet) white countries?
Let Us Not Eat Lettuce
CDC is advising that U.S. consumers not eat any romaine lettuce, and retailers and restaurants not serve or sell any, until we learn more about the outbreak. [More]So it would be cheaper to pay the extra nickel a head?
Not to worry, you won't have this problem with the H-1Bs, and I expect we'll see more of those while the obsolete unskilled overwhelm the infrastructure, complain about the pig food, and most of all, vote Democrat.

Who Didn't See This Coming?
U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar ruled that the administration's new policy of cutting off asylum to migrants who enter the country illegally appears to run afoul of U.S. law that specifically allows them to do so. [More]
NRA, SAF Lawsuit Evokes Fundamental Questions About Rights and Democracy
Recognizing the dangers of mob rule, our Bill of Rights defined some of the areas where the individual would be immune to the will of the collective. [More]Two of us, one of you. Now bend over.
What's the matter, don't you believe in democracy?
Those Should Go on His CV
Shockley was charged with nine counts of first-degree rape or attempted rape, four counts of first-degree sodomy or attempted sodomy, three counts of second-degree sodomy, and two counts of second-degree rape. [More]Hey, he was just trying to fulfill a career ambition...

Your Rights are What We Say They Are
Teachers will not be carrying guns in Illinois schools. The Illinois Association of School Boards voted down on that proposal. The measure split the state along its urban and rural fault lines.[More]If this isn't an argument for the popular vote, I don't know what is.

The Shape of Things to Come
Behold, a god Who Bleeds
NRA doesn't look so invincible now [More]Bloomberg Opinion writer Francis Wilkinson gloats through a Salish epiphany.
Do you think leaving out the major factor Fairfax deliberately avoids was due to ignorance or intent?
[Via Mack H]
The Best The GOP Could Do?
Former state Del. May wins Republican primary to replace Wexton in Virginia Senate [More]You know, the "staunch Anti-Gun Republican." What a spit in the face by Republicans to a consituency they owe whatever positions they haven't squandered through betrayals to.
The first debate for the January special election is online.
Any gun owner who votes for Joe May will be telling the Republicans they can foist whatever gun-grabber they want with no repercussions. They will be guaranteeing more of the most dangerous kinds of enemies -- those from within.
There's not even the illusion of choice here.
And watch when he loses this will be presented as a rejection of "Trumpism."

From Midterms to End Times
While none of us has a crystal ball, the projections in this scenario hardly seem unlikely. [More]
Beggars CAN be Choosers
Some Day...
Perhaps the day will come when the people will determine that the best way to curb gun violence is to cull the Second Amendment from the Constitution. [More]What, the day forceful defiance or abject surrender is inevitable?
Offering "reasonable restictions" sops on infringements and prior restraints does not help, but it does seem to fit a larger NRO pattern that's been around since its founder counseled preemptive surrender.
[Via Mack H]
It Depends on How You Phrase It
Those who insist that mental illness has no connection to violence, and those who argue that the mentally ill should be locked up, are both wrong, experts say. [More]The ones that are wrong are those who insist one size fits all. Of course there can be connections. And custodians can take different forms as appropriate.

Lest He Be Judged
Ex-Judge Accused of Killing Wife 4 Years After Brutally Assaulting Her [More]Funny, the “smoke grenades, semi-automatic rifles, a sword, a bulletproof vest and more than 2,500 rounds of ammunition” he had at the time of his first arrest, seeing as how he was District Director for Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who was "passionate about the need for gun control legislation. She has cosponsored several initiatives seeking to make guns safer, to restrict the sale of weapons through loopholes to existing laws, and to limit the types of guns available for purchase."
While he's presumed innocent in his wife's murder, one thing we know he's guilty of is being a damned hypocrite and coward. There are plenty of such defects with "authority" to decide your legal fate.

Sounds like gang action to me. So leave it to the antis to add it to the "mass shootings" tally.

So What's He Take an Oath To?
At the Mercy of Lawbreakers
Chicago hospital shooting claims 3 lives; gunman also dead ... "the offender lifted up his shirt and displayed a handgun"... [More]A concealed carry licensee in Illinois shall not knowingly carry a concealed firearm on or into ... A public or private hospital or hospital affiliate, mental health facility, or nursing home...
I guess technically it wasn't concealed when he brought it inside...
What's curious is with all the AP updates, they still have not identified the "gunman." Since they undoubtedly know, a fair question would be "Why?"
We're the Only Ones Really Into Our Work Enough
A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy assigned to handle sensitive sex abuse crimes, often involving vulnerable minors, has been arrested on suspicion of raping a 14-year-old girl in a case he was investigating. [More]On the plus side, as a subject matter expert he should have no problem with the perpetual quandary that perplexes so many in his professsion.

Then Stop Running with the Hares
And if hunters are going to defend themselves in the theater of political ideas, then they will have to begin by developing the moral confidence to say plainly and directly — even on Twitter — that they have no reason to apologize for what they do or for who they are.

Free Up to What Point?
“FIRE is pleased that Rutgers did the right thing and reversed the charge of racial discrimination against Professor Livingston,” said Marieke Tuthill Beck-Coon, FIRE’s director of litigation. “Any other result would have undermined the free speech and academic freedom rights of all Rutgers faculty members.” [More]Would Rutgers had ruled the same had this self-loathing head case said he hates blacks and that he wanted to keep them out of his neighborhood?
Then there's the small matter of whose culture codified a right to free speech...
Memphis Belle
“Tennessee is racist, period. Period ... most of the people in Tennessee who voted Republican are uneducated.” [More]Because "white men ... don’t believe in sharing their wealth."
So if you're not a communist, you're a bigot.
This beneficiary of a racist constituency is doing pretty well for a victim of discrimination. I do agree with her that "allowing felons to vote will help elect more Democrats."

Gimme Shelter
Christian women's shelter sues city over complaint saying it must admit transgender females [More]What they fail to understand is government soup Nazis will brook no competition, including (especially) when it comes to helping those in need.

Kristol Blue Persuasion
The Brookings Institute’s William Galston — who has called populism the enemy of democracy — and neoconservative pundit Bill Kristol have released a joint policy brief for their The New Center think tank which advocates giving amnesty to illegal aliens and ending the country-caps in the U.S. legal immigration system.
