Make Fast and Furious a Priority Again

Fast and Furious Victim, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s Family Gives Moving Speech at RNC [More]

I also note a call to investigate Fast and Furious in the Republican platform (pg.13), which confirms a commitment Trump made to Kent.

Maybe we'll have some new information for them to follow up on.

It's a Wonder, Alright

[Y]ou have to wonder whether these endorsements are reliable or whether the NRA has also been misled. [More]

Aw, go on. When has that ever happened?

Besides, they're generally the ones doing the misleading.

The Tyranny Loophole

That's where one branch gets to usurp powers of another branch and they both get to violate their oaths with impunity and infringe on that which they are supposedly barred from doing. [More]

This is what Democrats intend to do to the entire country. And cheap labor Republicans will sell them the rope.

Who Didn't See This Coming?

NRA endorses Paul Ryan in primary race, backs him after House duel over gun control [More]

That's because Paul is a leading spokesman for NRA Brand Gun Control ^TM!

And that other guy, Nehlen? Forget it, he's got principles. The same ones Ryan is now pretending he has.

Just do it.

How Vanderboegh Profits from Cancer

Evidently Mike isn't dying fast enough to suit Kerodin. [More]

Still attacking a dying man.  Classy. And just nasty/ugly.

Kerodin's "Igor," the psychopath douche who trolls under the handle "Cav Med," and some other steaming stool sample signing as "Not an Imaginary Friend" are now insinuating this is all some grand scheme to solicit donations, and that rather than the medication regimen prolonging life and providing more periods of alertness, Mike (and I by default) must be scamming supporters  -- after all, he said he was going to be dead by now!

You can tell they're total cowards because they attack real people from the shadows while masking their own identities from even virtual repercussions, making it fair to wonder who they really are, who they really serve, and even, as has been suggested to me, if they're not just alter egos of convenience.

But, full confession: Mike may have been wrong with me about his prognosis, too. I spoke with him yesterday, and he pronounced it was going to be his last day of life based on how he felt. I haven't spoken with him today, but I haven't heard anything either. Somehow though, I don't think he was scamming me, especially since I went down to see him at the end of April and then interviewed him the first week in June, and saw his physical condition for myself. The screenshot I took for that should have been enough to shock his friends who haven't seen the disease progress.

Then again, maybe I'm part of the scam. Money, money, money! Mike's daughter took the above dated photos (I got the title of this post from the email subject) so everyone could see how well he's "faking" this to rake in all that loot from the suckers.  Man, is he showing you!

Were it solely up to me, I would not have highlighted this. But it was important to my friend, so I'm subordinating my own preferences and judgment to do this post for him.

What I did want to focus on -- and this actually occupied the bulk of our phone call -- was Mike's reminder that there are plenty of people out there calling themselves "Three Percenters' who really have no idea what the concept means beyond a vague notion of the estimated number of colonists who took up arms against the crown.

He wanted me to emphasize that you can't understand the true meaning of the Three Percent unless you embrace the catechism and heed the valediction.

And that's why Mike thought it important to once again call out the difference between true Three Percenters and those who have appropriated the name but not the principles. It's not a question of him fixating on those who pervert his legacy, it's his last act of love for his friends and followers. Don't misunderstand his motives here: He's doing what he can to his dying breath to make sure that legacy is not supplanted by a hollow imitation.

That unfortunately means we can't avoid looking at the character of Mike's detractors, bearing in mind Kurt Hofmann's maxim:

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

Party Line

• Democrat
• Republican

The Republican platform is highly flawed. The Democrat platform is high treason.

Heat Can Melt Ice

Ice Cube Will Still Perform “F*#k tha Police” Despite Cop Killings [More]

This isn't about going rah-rah for "Only Ones," this is about monkeywrenching the destroyers, of which Lice Pube is one. F*#k him.

It says he's going to perform it at Southern California’s Auto Club Speedway. It would seem a bit of pressure on the owners, the Auto Club and on NASCAR would be in order, starting here, here and here.

Were I a cop, I would refuse to work traffic or security for the event. Were I a NASCAR driver, I'd be getting other drivers to join in putting the squeeze on management. And were I a race fan, I'd be making my disapproval known.

We're the Only Ones Protected Enough

Another State Moves To Make Police A Protected Class Under The Law [More]

Heck, I'll bet I could come up with all kinds of "security justifications" for why we shouldn't even be allowed to criticize them -- after all, if we're going to include violations against them in the "hate crime" category, why not classify that as "hate speech"?

I'm sure the social media fascisti would be happy to help suppress dissent against the order they profit under, and they can rely on plenty of volunteer snitches to rout and rat out "extremists."

I'm also surprised no one has exploited that other "progressive" tack: Going after them, Google and Facebook with anti-trust laws for collusion.

Parroting SPLC’s Oath Keepers ‘Hate Group’ Lie Betrays NewBostonPost’s Claimed Principles

Having the SPLC smear and conflate Oath Keepers with the New Black Panther Party and the Westboro Baptist Church is SOP for its lucrative agenda and hardly unexpected.  Having establishment media repeat the smear is also sadly something that’s frustratingly familiar. But a supposedly liberty-oriented media source parroting SPLC talking points without question shows, at minimum, ignorance and laziness. Both are inexcusable traits, assuming this was indeed just a case of journalistic malpractice and not agitprop. [More]

It's amazing what passes for "Authorized Journalism" these days.

The Rutherford Borg Cube

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. [More]

For having such an extensive CV, this Whitehead character isn't very imaginative. Way to embolden the oppressors to ramp up the tyranny and way to demoralize the resistance.  Way to give ideological aid and comfort to the enemies of freedom, and thus help make things more dangerous.

I agree with Stewart:

What defeatist drivel.

Outrage

As we see so very often these days, there is so little resembling justice in our court systems. It seems the average “Joe” can never get a fair shake. So now Joe has been convicted, and could face the rest of his life behind bars and lose his home of over forty years.  [More]

Where is the fair media coverage?  Where is the political champion? Where is a legal defender?

I'm going to send that story link to Drudge and tweet it to Trump.  It will just be ignored unless others join me.  That means you.

UPDATE:

Just frickin' do it.

Meanwhile, Across the Ponds in Piers Morgan Paradise

Stronghold

A row of spears and a fortress with a crennelated parapet and ... minarets?

Now, now, let's not let our imaginations get the better of us.

Funny though, how they can keep "undocumented" people out and encourage armed defense when it suits their purposes...
