Their Inside Man
Democrats admit to stealing GOP primary to keep Emmett Hanger in the State Senate [More]What's not to smile about?

Limiting Message Reach
I continue to get email alerts from gun groups notifying members of some imminent development or needed action, and I continue to not be able to do a thing with them for reasons stated and repeated. Email marketing service links don't help either, as they soon go away plus someone could even unsusbscribe the original recipient.
If you want my help spreading the word on this blog or on social media, I need a good link.
The French Mistake
America’s immigration and border-enforcement regime is established by Congress. It can only be reformed by Congress. That means deal-making. That means compromise...If Trump sells an immigration deal, the most loyal among his base will stand and cheer. [More]Yeah? And what'll stop this?

At Least He Got the 'Moaning' Part
One of the biggest regrets of my life is not pissing in Bill Kristol’s salmon. [More]That's pretty childish. If that's one of his biggest regrets it also speaks of a remarkably charmed life, but the child still throws public tantrums for more. And tell me the Globe editor who initially allowed this didn't fantasize that as a starting point.
If Kristol Meth is too far to the right, what must that make those of us who consider him a useful idiot tool of the left?
Lindsey, Lindsey, He's Our Man!
Report from the Hill: Lindsey Graham Says Federal Govt. Should ‘Incentivize’ States to Enact Red Flag Laws [More]Kind'a like kicking the decision back to Herod. That way, Republicans will have even less control over how such "legislation" is shaped, but plausible deniability over responsibility for what comes out, allowing them to then publicly wring their hands and distance themselves from the results. And just wait 'til they try to withhold funds over something they say goes too far, and some activist federal judge says differently. All of which will be made moot by the Democrat majorities they seem to be welcoming through serial betrayals.
Look who just gave Lindsey a big "Attaboy!" (at least until it's time to back a Democrat, at which point their tune will change to what an extremist he is).
But...but...but he's committed...
Just ask Chris.
I'd like to say these people have no idea what they're unleashing on us and how it will then be expanded, but come on: They know exactly what they're doing.

“That they would be brazen enough to come in and steal somebody’s computer, I mean, the whole thing just surprises me,” Cheryl Bolton said. [More]Predators are brazen enough to do a lot of things, Cheryl. If that surprises you, you haven't been paying attention. Just like the oblivious theft victims.

A Convenient Excuse
A Speaker opposed to pro-rights legislation tells a tale of something that never quite happened: an attempted “intimidation,” by omitting key facts and warping the rest. And uses that to rationalize killing the legislation. [More]And that way, everyone can be punished for an act that may even have been done with that in mind. What kind of political fraud would do that?
Think race hoax and sex hoax. Plus, by allowing certain comments, you can be tarred with a provocateur's brush.
As for those who leave comments advocating criminal violence, Blogger does not give users the ability to do detailed tracking, but the way I've figured it in the past, if it rises to a level of credible threat, the authorities can do their thing if so inclined.

Making the Grade
Another decidedly pro-gun GOP congressman, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, was downgraded from an A to a B, seemingly because he got cross-wise with the NRA from the right. Last year, Massie vocally opposed the Fix NICS Act, which offered incentives to states to increase data submissions to the federal background check system. [More]They've long punished politicians for being too "pro-gun."
The Bloombergians have done us a service here. This business of hiding ratings allows Fairfax to feed members all kinds of BS and then makes it easy to cover their tracks when a grade blows up in their faces.

Finding the Right Motivator
The funny part is that gender-critical British feminists have been protesting this stuff for a while, and their lamentations have fallen on deaf ears. Moreover, they’ve been badgered, brought up on charges, called bigots and TERFs, been doxxed, harassed, and fired from their posts, all for saying that perhaps the LGBT+ agenda is moving too fast through the social and educational system, and could be harming children instead of helping them. But now that an ethnic, religiously practicing minority takes issue with the program, it’s been put on pause. Why? [More]When was the last time you heard of a British feminist sawing someone's head off?

The Purge
“Furthermore, due to ‘no tolerance’ policies concerning the display of images of firearms in schools, the traditional Minuteman logo could not be displayed due to inclusion of an 18th-century flintlock rifle,”... [More]Can't have dangerous ideas out there, especially as they relate to American heritage...
UPDATE:
The rebranding is the result of a congressional mandate, according to Lt. Col. Wes Parmer, a spokesman for the Army Guard director. But it is not a sign that the Minuteman is on the out. “The Minuteman logo is still being used,” he said. “It’s the National Guard seal.” Instead, Parmer said the new logo being replaced is an older recruiting logo that features “National Guard” in red letters with a stylized American flag.

In this case, they moved the motion first, then asked for a second, which didn’t come and the council president found that as terms for denial of the resolution that no one had been allowed to speak to! [More]I was part of a similar council-persuading effort in California where they pulled procedural stalling tricks to avoid being told what dicks they were, but in our case, our presence "persuaded" them to abandon an anti-gun resolution.

Conditioned Response
We're the Only Ones with the Need, the Need for Speed Enough
"My office’s determination that Deputy Montesi did not commit any crime in connection with this matter does not minimize the tragedy of Josiah Pinner’s death," Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren said in a statement. "Although the evidence establishes that Deputy Montesi was driving above the speed limit at the time of the accident, Florida law holds that speed alone is insufficient to establish vehicular homicide." [More]God forbid we charge an "Only One" with "willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons." And anybody see anything in this story about a breathalyzer test being administered?
No, pointing out what would happen if a citizen ran over a cop is not relevant due to the equivalent value of lives. Besides, the poor guy already got a five-day suspension and the sheriff's "heart pours out to this family." What more do these people want?

Stay for Bump Stock Plaintiffs Dissolves Wednesday
Not a bad feather in the cap for “the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes.” With his new-found love for “red flag laws” and disregard for due process, Donald Trump is shaping up to be every bit the “true champion of the Second Amendment” NRA told us Harry Reid was.

"This was no distant dream for this young man. This was a well planned out, well developed, imminent plan, and if it was not for the involvement and hard work of federal and state law enforcement officers, this could have been a much, much worse result.” [More]What clued authorities in?
Authorities learned of the plan when Azizi-Yarand began corresponding with an FBI informant.You gotta wonder how much "encouragement" he got for the plan and his capabilities.

Unplanned
The wife and I saw it Sunday.
I think it's a worthwhile film. It's always tough to "do agenda" without coming across as heavy-handed, but this one does a pretty good job, certainly much better than another agenda film, the more slickly produced "Miss Sloane."
Speaking of which, while that was heavily stumped for in the media and "Unplanned" has been ruthlessly ridiculed and even suppressed, it's gratifying to see box office results since March 29 are approaching four times what the gun-grab flick has done since 2016. Curious we never did learn what the production costs were for that flop, but see that the pro-life film has essentially doubled its money so far.
The other message that comes through loud and clear for me: The approach behind "Unplanned" is not to coerce, but to supportively persuade women to choose life. Miss Sloane was the one demanding no choice at all.
No surprise there.
And as long as I'm on both subjects, do you think Harvey will ever get back in the game and make us wish we weren't alive?

Roberts Screws Us Over as Expected
2019-4-5 UPDATE 1: The Supreme Court has denied the latest stay application. (Justices Thomas and Gorsuch would have granted.) We are in the process of requesting a stay from the D.C. Circuit and will seek en banc rehearing.
2019-4-5 UPDATE 2: If a person wishes to turn in their affected bumpstock device, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince of Firearms Industry Consulting Group, who is representing Firearms Policy Foundation and numerous other plaintiffs in Guedes, et al. v. ATF, et al., suggests that individuals surrender the item under protest to preserve your rights. You can read more about that process at the FICG website here.

But the ruling also clarifies that the injunction against those restrictions will remain in effect “for those persons and business entities who have manufactured, imported, sold, or bought magazines able to hold more than 10 rounds between the entry of this Court’s injunction on March 29, 2019 and 5:00 p.m., Friday, April 5, 2019.” [More]Huh?
