Val Demings, an Orlando-area Democrat member of Congress, filed legislation Monday to prevent the Trump administration from allocating anti-terrorism funds to help arm teachers. [More]That's OK, as a retired "Only One," she's taken care of through LEOSA.

The constable then required Reyes to pay her and her chief deputy $50 an hour for security as her own family regrouped at a nearby BBQ pit. [More]Nice family gathering you've got here. Shame if something happened to it...
Don't worry -- it's not like they've been fired and indicted or anything.
I'm seeing extortion, deprivation of rights under color of authority, and by two of them doing it that makes it a conspiracy. Since their cronies won't do anything about it, maybe it's time to bring in the big guns.

We Wouldn't Have a Domestic Enemy Problem Either if We Applied a Plan
"You know ladies, with technology the way it is, we wouldn't have an abortion problem if we applied a plan. Now, I've been told it's a bit radical, but if we allowed men to be castrated, took the sperm to the bank, collected tax dollars on it for storage, then when it's time, to have the man decide he's ready to begin a family.... well then problem is solved!" [More]Don't worry, though. My guess is if she had to qualify it, Jabbalina here would say she didn't mean all men, just the evil white ones. Or she'll probably pull a Swalwell and claim she was just joking.
Haha. Can you imagine a male politician saying serial welfare mothers ought to have their tubes tied?
Crushing the Non-Competition
Yeah, this reminds me of a Seinfield episode where Kramer was bragging about winning Karate competitions. Later in the show we find out he was competing against 12 year olds. [More]I never really watched Seinfeld -- I gave it a two-episode try and still hadn't laughed, plus all the male characters were alien to me, so I gave up on it -- but if this guy is remembering the episode correctly, he is exactly right.
Your Lips to God's Ear
“Yes, this is a coup. This is the most shocking violation of the Constitution and criminal activity in the history, not just of America, but of a western government. Much of this rises to the level of treason. People need to understand how shocking this is. It was a clear conspiracy. There will be arrests and indictments without question. . . . This was a coup. It was a conspiracy. It was criminal activity. These people need to be indicted, charged and need to be put in prison, and if they’re not, then our Constitution is nothing more than a sham. This was a coup against a duly elected President, and people need to understand how serious this is.”[More]And the totalitarians who attempted it are the same ones who want you either ruled or dead.
13 Reasons Why
The Netflix show “13 Reasons Why” was associated with a 28.9% increase in suicide rates among U.S. youth ages 10-17 in the month (April 2017) following the show's release, after accounting for ongoing trends in suicide rates, according to a study published in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Giffords Gun Group a New Attempt at an Old Divide-and-Conquer Tactic
It’s not the first time we’ve seen gun-grabbers create what became known as “Astroturf” gun groups. We’ve seen them come and go over the years, and they all share two things in common: Outside special interest funding and a lack of any appreciable grassroots support. [More]Looks like AHSA 2.0 is being released.
Because They Think It's in Your Nature
I was advised via email that Cabelas now has trigger locks on all guns and the excuse being given is that Bass Pro Shops had a guy come in and commit suicide.
Ain't it just typical for "gun control" to put restrictions on everybody over the actions of one guy? How does their slogan go?
Hey, if ATF can be prevented from examining the inner workings, why not us, right?

Returning to Roots Best Chance for NRA to Heal Self-Inflicted Wounds
Those calling for such a return want NRA out of politics and focused on being Fudds. They really just want to be able to pass disarmament edicts, elect gun-grabbing politicians and appoint anti-gun judges without any significant organized opposition. Curiously, although unintended by those offering such “advice,” returning to its roots is exactly what is needed. [More]The real roots involved training American citizens to become proficient in keeping and bearing “weapons of war.”

Options
Option 1. A majority of the Board circles the wagons in defense of Wayne LaPierre and his pals and tries to weather the storm. (They’ll fail, and the whole ship will sink.)
or
Option 2. A majority of the Board fires LaPierre and other executives (or accepts their resignations) and nullifies their contracts, suspends all vendor contracts pending thorough review and renegotiation, and purges culpable members of their own body – demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding NRA assets on behalf of the membership. (Plugging the holes and possibly saving the ship.) [More]While my vote would be for #2, my money would be on #1.
I'd also bet on lawsuits being in the future.

UPDATE- Option 3:
NRA’s Wayne LaPierre Says He Is Being Extorted, Pressured to Resign - Group’s longtime leader says Oliver North, president of the NRA, wants him outNorth is a creature of Ack-Mac, so I'm not looking at this as a development where the prime concern is serving the right to keep and bear arms.
