Carrying on the Tradition

Investigators searched Baltimore City Hall and Mayor Catherine E. Pugh’s homes among other sites Thursday, a highly-visible indication of a federal criminal case over lucrative children’s book deals she cut with businesses connected to the government she has run since 2016. [More]

Baltimore?  Doesn't that make her a Bloomberg mayor?

Who does she think she is? Sheila Dixon?

We're the Only Ones Multitudinous Enough

We found 85,000 cops who’ve been investigated for misconduct. Now you can read their records. [More]

How many barrels of "few bad apples" does that make?

Democrat Hypocrisy on Executive Privilege Recalls Different ‘Gunwalker’ Reaction

Curiously, Nadler, fellow Democrats and most of the DSM contained their outrage and instead provided cover for the Obama administration’s obstruction of justice in the Operation Fast and Furious investigations conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. [More]

If Trump does it, heads must roll! But using executive privilege to cover their own real crimes is just fine and only a conspiracy theorist would object.

Laboring Under a Delusion

A woman “claiming to be the Messiah” who threatened to blow up a California church on Easter Sunday while carrying her baby and a gun is a former digital producer for the NBC-TV affiliate in San Diego. [More]

The headline implication is a bit deceptive -- her issue isn't that she's a "liberal," but that she appears to manifest many signs associated with delusional disorder. Such people can retain intelligence and have an answer for everything that turns back on the problem being within those who challenge their beliefs. If you really want to get lost down this rabbit hole, check out her Facebook page and YouTube feed.

More than anything, this is sad. Perhaps there are medications that would need monitoring to ensure prescriptions are followed and perhaps there are not. Some people are broken and cannot be fixed because "we" just don't know how.

In any case, as things stand now she can't be trusted without a custodian.

Should Natural Born Citizenship Be a Requirement for All Federal Elected Offices? [More]

This presupposes the flaw is with the Constitution.

Let’s be clear: This is overt political propaganda being scooped into the most capable students’s minds under the guise of education. [More]

Let's be clear: The minds behind this want you gone.

We're the Only Ones Electrifying Enough

According to the Circuit Attorney’s Office, 34-year-old Christopher Childers is facing fourth-degree assault charges for trying to hurt his fellow female police officer with a department-issued taser. [More]

Not only more trustworthy than you and me, but evidently a lot braver, too.

And not to pick nits, but wouldn't it just be "fellow police officer" unless Christopher was a female, too?

We're the Only Ones Luring Enough

A New Jersey police officer and a New York City high school teacher are among 16 men who allegedly tried to set up sexual encounters with people they thought were teenage boys and girls. [More]

Sick. He couldn't just demand it at traffic stops like normal "Only Ones"?

Apportioning the Blame

To NRA or Not to NRA [More]

If the house of cards collapses, it will be because of top-down rot and also because of the apathy and inaction that allowed the Lairds to run unchecked.

UPDATE: Bear says pull the plug.

As an aside, I wish family matters didn't preclude me going to Indy this weekend.  I'm really curious to see if Wayne and Chris will be challenged when they're trying to read their speeches. I wonder if anyone trying to do so will be shut down and ejected, and who any boos or cheers will be directed at. I also wonder if all the Ack-Mac flacks will be there due to the lawsuit.

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

Concepcion-West is facing a felony charge (includes petit theft and cheating or gross fraud) for failure to pay a $1.25 toll.  [More]

I'll certainly sleep more soundly knowing he's a "prohibited person." How 'bout you?

Much Ado about What, Exactly?

Texas Committee Passes Bill to Decriminalize Firearm “Silencers” and End Support for Federal Enforcement [More]

Meaning they'll still be "illegal."

And good luck with Dennis Bonnen.  Prediction: If he does end up making a show of support it will be because he knows it won't alter reality but he can still exploit it to build back some "pro-gun" creds.

Can other "private" businesses do that, too, and maybe reverse polarity?

No?

Hmmm... "federal funding." I wonder if that could be impacted...

And nice to see the communist bellyachers are up to 278 Twitter followers.

Yow. Pretty well-heeled commies at that, or at least their parents are.

That Depends

These are the U.S. states most and least dependent on the gun industry [More]

I'm sure they're trying to evoke some kind of conclusion here, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what except to bolster "progressive" wishful thinking that guns are losing popularity. I have to confess I've never really thought of state "dependency" outside of urging manufacturers to tell gun-grabbers to go to hell and good luck arming their "Only Ones."

I'm actually surprised the industry is as vigorous as it is, not just because of all the political and regulatory obstacles it has to navigate, but because guns are such durable and lasting products if properly maintained. Then again, I've never been a "gun person" as much as a "rights person." That's why you don't see product reviews or training tips and the like -- they're not my niche. The "animating contest" for me does not take place at a range.

We're the Only Ones Unidentifiable Enough

With police decals that meld into the cruiser’s white paint job and emergency light bars that are concealed on the inside of the windshield, these police cars — unless you look closely — could be mistaken for just another Ford Taurus on the road, giving impaired drivers a false sense of security. [More]

Or giving unimpaired drivers legitimate justification for suspecting they're about to be victimized by Fauxnly Ones and reacting accordingly.

This "trend" needlessly endangers all parties concerned.
