Moms Demand Rationality?

A band of Manhattan moms are trading luncheons and playdates for political lobbying and police meetings — all in the name of protecting their kids from rising crime, bail-reform loopholes, aggressive panhandlers, and what they see as a general return of lawlessness. [More]

So they're actually going after criminals...?

To do otherwise would be like shooting first and aiming later.

Send that gal some "Rubio for Senate" signs.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise

The number of gun crimes committed in the United Kingdom has increased by 27 per cent in five years and the number of firearms seized has quadrupled, despite the country having some of the strictest gun control laws in the world. [More]

Still trending upward, eh? As noted the last time, we ain't seen nothin' yet.

If at First You Don't Succeed

Universal Pictures said Tuesday that it will release the social satire “The Hunt,” a film it canceled in the wake of criticism about its premise of “elites” hunting people for sport in red states. [More]

I wonder how a poll of paying movie-goers would break down politically.

As I said back before it was pulled:

I’m going to reserve final judgment until I see it – in a few years when I can do so without paying extra. From one of the trailers, it looked like the “deplorables” were fighting back and I may end up pleasantly surprised at how many “progressive” elitists get what’s coming to them.

It seems many are becoming increasingly eager to put that to the test.

A Great Disturbance in the Force

The widespread misconception that the reverse has been the case partly explains radicals’ unscrupulously optimistic assumption that the existing social order can be overthrown without detriment to the social fabric and human wellbeing. In short, peace and prosperity are assumed to be the natural order of things; it’s the capitalist system that disequilibrates society. The anarchist authors of Contradictionary: A Bestiary of Words in Revolt thus describe capitalism as “[o]ne of the most advanced forms of disorder,” a “disruption” of the “anarchic harmony” that would otherwise characterize our world. [More]

So no mass graves this time because they'll do it right?

As for "treat[ing radicals] as independent human beings capable of rational thought and action," if there are any proven techniques to persuade them to be receptive and allow that, let's hear them. I see the author generalizes his own anecdotal experience, but by the time some undefined "we" try to engage in an unwelcome one-on-one with people who are not only unwilling to listen but who dismiss us a "Nazis," all indications are it'll be too late.

As a Matter of Fact, He Does Own the Whole Damn Road

“We Purchased This (Public) Sidewalk Space For Our Event” – Bloomberg Staffer [More]

Anyone know if criminal charges could be filed for unlawful restraint or something?

And Bloomberg got the name of the city wrong! Ah, what the hell-- they're all Everytown to him.

Bully for You

We’ve been told for years that there is a “bullying epidemic” in our schools. [More]

It is.

There are no bigger bullies than teachers and administrators.

And they wonder why the occasional unhinged brainwashing victim snaps.

And the Swamp Gurgles On

It’s true that the OFCCP’s decisions are ultimately subject to judicial review in federal court. But Andrews notes that Chevron deference to administrative agencies gives the OFCCP a leg up in court. [More]

And our "Beautiful Second Amendment President" relies on that in ways Obama never got around to.

Something Else for the 'Authorized Journalists" to Ignore

"White Powder" Pete in Africa for 42 months with Strzok doing what where? [More]

Interesting documentation thread these folks have put together...

It would take a bit of sufficiently-funded investigative journalism to validate and bring things into focus.

Good thing they're not "real reporters." You could destroy your career going off message like this.

How Can You Tell a Gun-Grabber is Lying?

And when it doesn't, they'll apologize and admit they were wrong?

Discriminate against and disenfranchise the law-abiding poor-- now there's a "progressive" solution!

What Did They Expect?

The Council of Licenced Firearm Owners (COLFO) says it has evidence confirming unauthorised access to a police database containing the personal details of gun owners. [More]

And that surprises who?

I'm wondering why we have to wait until the last sentence of the last paragraph to find out this is happening in New Zealand. Tommy Lee could have saved me some time.

Wake me when there's a Council of Unlicensed Firearm Owners. Because we've already seen what listening to the Judenrat results in.

Learning from the Past

Any question on what kind of reign it will be? [More]

Yeah, That's the Ticket!

Bloomberg is considering Hillary Clinton as his running mate... [More]

It was either that or a clip from "Death Wish"...

Because I figure there's a "heart attack" waiting to happen. And I don't see the Sandersnistas going gentle into that good night if this is what the Establishment Dems force on them.

It also makes me wonder what level of betrayal will be necessary for Trump to self-destruct.

It's a Woman Thing

In the U.S. this week, Ivanka Trump announced that Sens. Lindsey Graham and Jeanne Shaheen are behind an effort to have her Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative written into U.S. law. [More]

Why? Since when it is in the interest of ourselves and our posterity to admit to political power and wealth transfer fraud and to do so for purposes of pandering to manipulated malcontents?

And will those who "identify as women" be exalted in Abu Dhabi?

How many MAGA-hatters are thrilled with the Ivanka/Jared shadow government that was never part of the deal?
