There's a Franklin Quote in Here Somewhere

 Mike Rowe: Americans Are Realizing "The Price Of Safety Is Devastating" [More]

Yep. It's a lot less of a burden to reject the rights-crippling apathy that's been the norm with most gun owners and get to work.

More likely, Rowe will just be condemned as a Nazi, canceled, and ostracized.

Total Government Control

 Edwards explained some of the detainees have the ability to jimmy the locks on their cells even though the automated panel system indicates they are locked. [More]

Malcolm explains.

Of course, government incompetence allowing inexcusable, known gaping holes like this makes things a lot easier.

Everybody realizes this is where the "Unity and Healing" administration intends to put us if we defy the gun confiscation process and survive the experience...?

Rope-Selling Capitalists

 There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. [More]

And the same ones are all in on "cancel culture," making them abetters of tyranny. For a buck.

Anybody feel like speaking up for them when their usefulness is up and the mob is turned?

Role Reversal

If You Live in Russia You Can Buy Crazy Military Grade Rifles and Bullets [More]

Yes, burdensome rules still apply, but it's really something to see their people rousing from slumber. It's something more to see our political "leaders" trying to lull us back to sleep.

Death by a Thousand Cuts

 The following handgun models whose certification has expired or otherwise removed from the Roster. These models may no longer be sold, offered for sale, or manufactured in California. [More]

None of which have been found to be defective. This is restraint of trade and an "in your face" not just to gun companies and gun owners, but it also inarguably "discriminates against or excessively burdens interstate commerce."

Why any gun or ammo manufacturer does business with these fascist motherf*****s is not just for them to answer, but for us to demand answers to. Thing is, that requires organization, and I don't see any of our "gun rights leader" organizations stepping up to identify who the rope-selling capitalists are and to publicly put them on notice and establish petitions and social media pressure.

There's a Reason Why They Call Us 'Gun Nuts'


 After Capitol riot, desperate families turn to groups that ‘deprogram’ extremists [More]

The Reichstag Fire continues to smolder. I guess Stockholm Syndrome doesn't apply to government cultists who buy into it?

Common Cause

 Investigators are reportedly looking into the possibility that Sicknick became violently ill after coming in contact with a chemical irritant such as pepper spray or bear spray. Medical examiners are also trying to determine if Sicknick possibly had a preexisting medical condition that negatively affected him during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6. [More]

Thoughts on Super Bowl LV

I was really PO'd and did something I rarely do. I yelled at the wife and younger feral son Qusay. Not really at them, but I did do the Charlie Brown "Aughhh!" 

They told me who was playing the day before the game. Kansas City and somebody else, right?

The most entertaining thing for me was this.

So much for maintaining a tradition.

I'm truly not exaggerating when I say how little televised sports mean to me.

Spanking the Monkey

Bishops spank Biden for abortion executive order: 'Incompatible with Catholic teaching' [More]

"Spank"? That's kind of a suggestive verb choice for this group, don't you think?

If they had a set between them they'd excommunicate him. Instead of helping him advance cultural terraforming and congregation disarmament...

He Realizes It's Not MyDildo?

 Parkland survivor David Hogg taking on MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell [More]

"Parkland survivor." Certainly not through any qualifications or actions on his part.

Speaking of which, I'm sure he's perfectly qualified to add his name to the venture and be a snarky douchehogg. What more proof do you need that the kid is a pure Astroturf figurehead? He's got as much experience with design, development, procurement, inventory management, production scheduling, manufacturing, OSHA compliance, quality assurance, receiving, stores, shipping, accounts receivable, accounts billable, contract management, finance, IT, data management, human resources, labor relations, corporate training, marketing, etc. as he does with... writing a book without communications professional "help".

Just the Person to Go After White Men with a Vengeance

 Law Prof Who Mocked Barron Trump at 2020 Impeachment Hearing Joining DOJ Civil Rights Division [More]

"Barron" = "Baron." I get it. Haha. Comedy gold. Did anyone tell her as a witticism that sucks and instead comes off as small-minded and obsessed? I see that communist idiot Sheila Jackson Lee chuckled, but she's also a big fan of inciters of necklacing mobs that only kill blacks.

This is the type of quisling Mark Walters was no doubt referring to in his latest, when he wrote:

You have other issues that are more important to you than our gun rights ... As long as you’re voting for the enemies of our right to keep and bear arms at the booth, we’re not friends simply because we’re both gun owners.

Compare that to these subversive morons:

At this time of great division in our country, we call for unity amongst all gun owners in the fight to protect our gun rights in the future, regardless of who you voted for or how you feel about the 2020 Election.

To repeat what should be a cliche by now, it's not about guns, it's about freedom. That any issue is more important to them than that tells us all we need to know. You have to wonder how many of them are just useful idiots or how many know exactly what they're doing.

 Const. Mehrdad Mahmodian was sentenced to 30 days in custody this week after Ontario Court judge Neil Kozloff ruled he Tasered and kicked a suspect in an “extremely vulnerable” position, then created a “falsified” account in police notes and a use-of-force report ... Mahmodian has been suspended without pay. His fate as an officer will be decided at a professional misconduct tribunal, where his jail sentence means he faces a high likelihood of dismissal. [More]

I wonder why an 11-year veteran assumed he could get away with that. Any questions what his victim would have been sentenced to had the situation been reversed, and especially if he lied about it to authorities?

Skank of Amerika

 Security experts — including the NYPD’s former top cop — ripped Bank of America for reportedly handing over customer data to the feds probing the Capitol riots, warning Saturday of a “fishing expedition” that was chilling in its overreach. The bank handed over financial data [of] 211 of its clients who happened to use credit and debit cards for lodging, food and other purchases in Washington in the days before and after the Jan. 6 siege, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson reported.

Fox Business suddenly cancels 'Lou Dobbs Tonight,' its highest-rated show [More]

That's a lot of viewers to cancel, which is what is really being attempted here.

I'm thinking by doing this and making some other behind the scenes concessions, the $2.7B lawsuit will suddenly become settleable, resulting in no need to introduce evidence about the veracity of Dobbs' statements.

Besides, you can't keep control of the narrative as long as loose cannons introducing forbidden ideas are allowed to have a megaphone.

 Rapper Lil Uzi Vert's $24 million diamond forehead piercing explained [More]

Judging by its prevalence on Google and Twitter, it's fair to conclude "progressives" view homosexuality as something to insult people for being, and only feign offense if they can smear their political enemies. we've already seen they give true prejudice a pass in favor of more pressing agenda priorities.

When looking at one thread I found this impressed-with-his-presumed-wit troll asserting a photo of a politician with a citizen equates with prior knowledge and approval of future events. I notice such a "standard" is not held for Democrats who pose with those they have full past knowledge of.

Note the contractions the apologists for that go through, emphasizing the claim is "partly false" because Byrd was a recruiter, not a Grand Wizard, as if that's the issue.

It Was So Good I Went Back for Seconds

 My car decided I didn't spend enough of the VCF two days ago and it was time to reacquaint me with the "Check Engine" light. That's why I've been away for the past several hours.

At least this time, because it was afternoon programming, I didn't have to subject myself to what the public is expected to accept as "news," but instead was treated to a virtual hen party where four minority women talked with Tammy Duckworth about how we all need to come together and unify by agreeing that Donald Trump needs to be impeached and white men are the problem. That was followed by several civil cases featuring 15 minutes of fame-seekers ably dispatched by dour-faced Mike Bloomberg magistrate Judge Judy.

Tell me you wouldn't be tempted to reinstall basic cable!

Anyway, bottom line, the work has been derailed for today. Forget the blog, I need to get back to what I was putting together to pay for car repair bills and property taxes. It's all part of the privilege.

Long story short: I have dozens of emails I can't get to and don't need any more, so please have mercy on me and hold off on sending any.

What's Good for GM is Good for Red China

In late January, General Motors (GM) said it plans to stop selling vehicles with tailpipe emissions by 2035. That means GM won’t sell any gas- or diesel-powered vehicles, the types of cars that now account for nearly all GM sales and profit. That would require an all-electric fleet, powered off the electrical grid, as with most current electrics, or perhaps through on-board fuel cells powered by hydrogen. While most automakers are developing electric vehicles, GM is the first big one to commit to a full transition. [More]

You don't say:

"China controls the processing of pretty much all the critical minerals, whether it's rare earth, lithium, cobalt or graphite”...

And, of course, Western demand will be what is blamed for the exploitation of Africans, where the material is mined, kind of like the whole "blood diamonds" brouhaha, which has essentially given globalist elites control of restricting supply sources and adding "compliance" costs. So count on Western consumers being the ones funding the resultant rare earth "reparations" wealth transfers while China gets a pass akin to their skirting the carbon credits tab for "climate change."

And our economic fascist "capitalists" are happy to sell the rope, or short sell it as the case may be.

As an aside, in terms of the state of electric cars today, I've wondered why, instead of spending hours charging one, you couldn't drive to a station and have batteries swapped out. Kind of like we used to do with VHS tapes at the video store, or propane tanks where you trade in empties. Pull in, swipe your card or pay the cashier, and what substitutes for the "pump" auto-extracts the old battery and replaces it with a new one that then routes to a charging station to be made available to a later vehicle. Meanwhile, the driver is fully charged, in and out in minutes. Aside from there being no standard, like in the VHS/Beta wars ...

So it's their fault if some patrons can't be trusted without a custodian and those paid to "protect society"  can't do anything about that?

Reply to All

I got an email from a WarOnGuns Correspondent encouraging me to write an article about how Donald Trump's inconsistent approach to RKBA might have contributed to his loss and also urging me to put up a Paypal widget in the sidebar. This started out as a one-one-one reply, but then I decided I'd post it here and send him the link.

About the closest I came to that was with a warning in advance: "2020 is Trump's to Blow with Gun Owners."

I'm not sure I'd be capable of finding credible data showing the number of gun owners who were discouraged from voting because of that. It would take somebody like John Lott to do a survey with credible metrics, otherwise, it would just be my mere opinion. As regulars here know, I'm big on substantiating links.

In re Paypal,  no sooner would I have it set it up than some lefty snitch would rat me out as a "hater" and get me demonetized. I also don't want readers feeling I am beholden to them or owe special access. I recall Vanderboegh, who was kind of preoccupied at the time, getting dressed down in comments over at SSI for neglecting to thank an indignant contributor who now viewed him as an ungrateful bastard, and I just don't need that.

The blog is like a midway sideshow to get people to read my articles and enter the big tent. The "circus owners" are the ones who pay me. Besides, in truth, I can't even get most readers to do the simple, near-effortless, and costless stuff that really would help me.

It is what it is. If I wanted to be popular, I'd be writing about the Kardashians or something.

Lest Ye Be Judged

Biden’s Adviser To Pick Federal Judges Was Accused of Physically Assaulting Children, Nudity [More]

So he threw the book at them and disrobed?

Vengeful exes say some nasty sh!+, especially when they can weaponize it to their legal advantage in divorce proceedings, and I wouldn't ordinarily treat such allegations as credible without some kind of corroborating evidence.  Except this isn't about what I think, it's about what opportunistic virtue-signaling Democrats say about #BelieveWomen -- that is, unless such accusations get in the way of their acquisition of money and power.

Yes, of course, they were induced, but if you think of the millions who will get through and vote Democrat, it's a small price to pay.

So what did she say that was wrong?

You aks me, she didn't go far enough.

Raising the Barr

 Conservative Defense of the Second Amendment Falls Short: Needs-Based Defense No Longer Sufficient to Preserve Citizens’ Right to Self-Defense [More]

True enough, and there's a wealth of good information here that will never find its way to the voting public. My guess is most gun owners will never read this, let alone understand and share it. We certainly know the DSM and the Keepers will do what they can to see it discouraged and buried.

Speaking of falling short, no argument will be sufficient as long as it ignores the Militia elephant in the room and fails to make that a central part of legal arguments. And ignoring the greatest threat of political and cultural terraforming via weaponized "immigration," as this does, ensures legislators and courts can ignore all arguments with impunity.

As long as we're on the subject of insufficiencies, did we ever get a retraction and apology from Barr for supporting Lautenberg?

Like I said: there's some good information here. Just not enough.

DSM Smear Job Specialist First Class Josh Lederman lets the SPLC do his heavy lifting for him, and proves absolutely nothing other than this is a hit job that pleases his masters, and we all know how that's done over at NBC News

This thing is just crying to be thoroughly fisked, and often, and by someone who knows how. I have time to give a few quick examples:
  • There's a world of difference between securing election integrity and unconstitutional indefinite detentions, and to pretend comparability is nothing short of journalistic fraud.
  • This shows calculated Opposite Day "progressive" cognitive dissonance by portraying those who urge government enforcers to understand their oaths and the Uniform Code of Military Justice as anti-government extremists. 
  • There is nothing "anti-immigrant" or "anti-Muslim" about selectively admitting foreign nationals in a way consistent with the purposes of the Preamble
What can I say but "NBC News"?
