Change

Here's one more thing Obama and the "progressives" have collectivist ["we"] hopes for. [More]

Hey, did you hear about the new "news" organization that will do exactly that?

A Far Better Ride

Remember the Davos plan featured yesterday to force people out of their cars and into public transit? Here's another great reason. [More]

This Day in History: May 13

Genl. Washington and Genl. Carlton have had an interview on the subject of arrangements for executing the provisional Treaty. It was interrupted by the sudden indisposition of the latter. In the conversation which took place he professed intentions of evacuating New York and all the posts in the U.S. held by British Garrisons as soon as possible, but did not authorize any determinate or speedy expectations. He confessed that a number of Negroes had gone off with the Refugees since the arrival of the Treaty, and undertook to justify the permission by a palpable and scandalous misconstruction of the Treaty, and by the necessity of adhering to the proclamations under the faith of which the Negroes had eloped into their service. He said that if the Treaty should be otherwise explained, compensation would be made to the owners and to make this the more easy, a register had been and would be kept of all Negroes leaving N.Y. before the surrender of it by the British Garrison. This information has been referred by Congress to a Committee. But the progress already made in the discharge of the prisoners, the only convenient pledge by which fair dealing on the other side could be enforced, makes it probable that no remedy will be applied to the evil.

Bloomberg propaganda machine takes shape with reported hires

Why Capital characterized it that way, as "news" instead of a bought-and-paid-for PR firm with but one agenda, to serve the will of the master footing the bill, is curious. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes it really is all about total control -- in this case, of the narrative.

Shots Fired

And look who the person of interest is. [More]

I was getting ready to write this one up, but Workman has covered the bases. About the only thing I'd have added was a reference to Smith's blacks-only "Man of Excellence" award, and the obligatory observation about "progressives" and Opposite Day.

To Each According to His Need

A Plan Is Floating Around Davos To Spend $90 Trillion Redesigning All The Cities So They Don't Need Cars [More]

Don't worry, those determined to have a need -- that would be the people making the rules for the rest of us to live by, and their elite benefactors -- won't be forced to ride under these conditions.

Just remember, with every day being Opposite Day for "progressives," when they tell you mass transit is the wave of the future, it wouldn't hurt to look to the past.

All aboard!

We're the Only Ones Shielded Enough

So as long as they're recording, what won't they be able to get away with? [More]

Proof the System Works!

Today, unelected Democrat Governor Kate Brown, who replaced disgraced Democrat Governor John Kitzhaber, ignored the will of the people, the counties, and the sheriffs and signed into law SB 941, the universal gun owner registration bill. [More]

So give her what she's asking for.  You know, massive noncompliance.

We're the Only Ones Doubling Down Enough

This was not Golightly's first accidental shooting. In April, 2010 Golightly lost control of his service weapon and shot a fellow deputy in the foot at the scene of an arrest. [More]

And here I'd assumed he was so well-adjusted...

The Break-Up

It's always sad to see how many are affected by an irreconcilable split. [More]

Hopefully they'll find good and loving homes to take them in.

And really? The name of  the street is Lois Lane?

Dud on Arrival

Pretty pathetic, if that's all the "popular demand" a national figure can muster from the Chi-Town area. [More]

"Stay Quiet and You'll Be Okay"

Trust Me!

So in other words, forget about knowing what it says and what it will empower, and just demand on his behalf based with no more "knowledge" than this.

Must be nice to have robots.

Including Republican ones...

Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts

In other words, while the NRA criticizes the North Carolina Sheriff’s Association for blocking the state bill that would end their current gun purchase approval system, the group has no problem perpetuating the federally mandated system. [More]

And plenty of other infringements...

A Staunch Defender

A Marine Corps veteran who spent 40 years in law enforcement, he is a staunch defender of the Second Amendment. [More]

Based on results, no he's not.

What's with the "Authorized Journalist" presenting that as a fact rather than a claim?

Time's Up!

The wild animal served its sentence. What's the harm in letting it remain out of its cage? [More]

Do Unto Others as They Have Done Unto You

My guess is they would have resorted to mass violent and destructive tantrums early on... [More]

Spot On

New from Cyberdyne Systems: No T-101 should be without a pet. [Watch]

Meet the whole family: Atlas, Petman...

Sandflea... get back here, ya lil' scamp!  You too, RiSE.  Get down from there!

Yeah, I know: Tools.

It's the hand controlling them we need to watch. Because someone developed them to respond to and control behaviors and activities of others.

So leave it to the Heirs of Liberty to... uh ... never mind...

"AutoBlow 2"? Really?

Killing the Messenger

We do not need a convention to change the Constitution - we need to observe the Constitution we already have. [More]

Been sayin' that for years about the Con-Con con. So naturally, it's an unpopular opinion among some who wish to be leaders. That's why those who are successful at exposing the new dangers that will be introduced by the "if we could just come up with the right incantation we'd get this spell to work" crowd must be ignored.

Or if that can't be arranged, disparaged and dismissed...
