The Signal Just Got Amplified

Recall petitions turned in for all three Custer County commissioners [More]

Good. About time.

Funny, how #justablogger in Ohio was on it way before the local "real reporters." Not that we haven't seen that before.

The Sangre de Cristo Sentinel's George Gramlich explains why this is relevant to all liberty advocates:

All it takes is effort,dedication and love of country and our Constitution. Think local patriots. Local is doable. Get off the internet and get your neighbors and friends in gear. Engage. Take the offensive. 

This should serve as an example for patriots everywhere. Start your local efforts now. There is no shame in trying and losing, but there is shame in not trying. 

As an aside, how unsurprising that the subjects of the recall are choosing avoidance rather than engagement.

Which Raises Another Question

All of which raises a question: Does Trump really want to make Charles E. Schumer the Senate majority leader? Why would a Republican president attack one of his party’s most vulnerable incumbents at time when the GOP holds such a narrow majority that it cannot pass legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare — or much of anything else for that matter? [More]

Looks like the false alternative talking point is getting around.

As to "why7," it's because the enemy inside the gates is the one that can do the most harm.

But then, a WaPo-acceptable "conservative" knows all about that.

Talk about false alternatives.

Groping for Answers

The pat-down, done over her clothes, explored her breasts, crotch and buttocks. “I did not imagine that she would ask me a few times to spread my legs wider and in fact touch my vagina four times with the side of her hand,” MacFarlane later wrote in a complaint to the TSA. [More]

Mom'll be glad to hear that.

So will Mad Maxie.

WHAT IS ECOSEX? [More]

I can't figure out if they're talking about bestiality or digging a hole in the ground and doing pushups.  Regardless, it sounds like a good way to get chiggers.

On the plus side, figuring out which bathroom to use is not an issue.

Making a Dent

“It’s entirely counterproductive for the president to be picking fights with Republican senators who he will need for important agenda items that they both agree on,” said Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.). “Does he think that Democratic senators will be more cooperative than John McCain and Jeff Flake and Susan Collins? It doesn’t seem to make any sense.” [More]

Spoken like a true "moderate" swamp thing.  Plus it's a false alternative, a lie. Trump would prefer a Republican who's not a backstabbing establishment poltroon undermining what he was elected to do. They freaked out over Brat unseating Cantor and are now out there badmouthing Kelli Ward.

And back when it looked like Hillary would win, Dent thought it productive to go before the media and declare Trump "a never-ending shipwreck."

Might there be a reason Dent's OK with foot-dragging on the wall?

So naturally, he's called "a staunch defender of the Second Amendment" and is commensurately rewarded.

Because as we see time and again, this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Not Rocket Science

Scott said big cities like Los Angeles, where he served as a deputy chief, have long responded to these types of protests by having officers keep opposing sides apart. The tactics, in the end, aren’t complicated. [More]

McAuliffe, Bloomberg Mayor Signer and their enforcers knew that.  So what other explanation could there be?

Report Prepared for Congress Offers Details on ATF Funding

Share it with others you think would (or should) be interested, and share your concerns with receptive members of Congress (dont waste your time on known hostiles). If you agree, tell your representatives that non-classified reports like this ought to be made available to the people paying for them, and find out where they stand on legislation to correct that.

Hey, citizen disarmament doesn't come cheap.

Another Russian Plot?

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has accepted more than $60,000 in small donations from Leonard Blavatnik, a Ukrainian-born energy billionaire with ties to Russian oligarchs, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation examination of the Democrat’s financial disclosure reports. [More]

So he's got financial incentives to help the Russkis disarm Americans?

Speaking of Not Needing That History Anyway

The decision to take down the painting came through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. [More]

Headed by a Kasich-appointed tool, naturally, so it's not like Jim Zehringer's accountable.

Take a moment and read the story behind the painting. That conversation will now never come up and the memory will fade to nothingness.

Just the way the would-be masters want it!

A Setup

At least one law enforcement officer in Charlottesville, VA has come forward to clear his conscience and reveal the truth — or at least his version of it — that what went down in the city was not only condoned by city governance but was intentional, orchestrated and may have been planned as long ago as May. [More]

I believe it because it not only makes sense, but because I've been approached on this very subject by a whistleblower contact and may have more to say on this later.

The Perpetual Two-Minutes Hate

This tactic will be repeated ad nauseum until there are no more freedoms left, until the taxation reaches truly Marxist proportions. And when the last issue is gone, and the media has fallen silent on them, the purges will begin. [More]

Actually, I expect "the media" to be cheerleading the purges.

Pirate Hunting

I noted a scumbag thief here. Looks like his whole channel's gone.  Good, because it was all a ripoff of someone else's work.

T.L. Davis will be dropping by this afternoon to shoot some "B-roll" footage of me reminiscing about Mike Vanderboegh. It's to edit into his next project, putting together all those hours and hours of a man with little time left saying what he needed to say. He'll also be dropping off my copy of the final cut of "Lies of Omission."
