The Wrong Question

 What does it take for NY politicians to say no to gun crime? [More]

Mr. Pynchon nails it.

It'll never be enough, will it?

#BelieveWomen?

 WOMAN WHO SHOT AND KILLED BOYFRIEND SAYS SHE DIDN'T KNOW HER GUN HAD A BULLET IN THE CHAMBER [More]

I suspect we'll hear from her again some day.

Can We All Get Along?

Like friends helping friends? [More


And she's not the only candidate Jorge endorsed. Hey, isn't Jennifer Lewis a "gunsense candidate" who "opposes assault weapons and of course the extra deadly bump stocks for them [and] who is trying to save your life from the heartless firearms industry?"

Not that I want to incur any more wrath from the Brotherhood of Trainers or anything...

Stating Their Case

Via email from Stephen Stamboulieh:

Just an FYI, today we argue Young v. Hawaii at 1:30 Pacific/3:30 Central  [Watch]

That's this case for those who need a refresher on what it's about.

The Cognitive Dissonance, It Burns...

 Princeton University has responded to a federal civil rights inquiry with a seemingly contradictory claim: Although the university does not discriminate against minorities, it is nonetheless systemically racist. [More]

Oh, God, you guys are gonna fry Norman's circuits again.

Don't Worry Your Pretty Little Heads About the Details

MICROSOFT GETS EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO AI DEEMED 'TOO DANGEROUS TO RELEASE' - Microsoft says it will “leverage its technical innovations to develop and deliver advanced AI solutions for our customers”, although was not specific about what that would be.  [More]

Hey, if we can't trust Bill Gates with absolute power, who can we trust?

The Shape of Things to Come-- Unless...

 They will defund the police. Close down churches. Codify immorality. Fire people who don’t agree with the LGBTQ agenda or who speak against it. Churches will be forced to hire gay applicants. Abortion will be expanded under a state-run and funded Planned Parenthood. They will let socialism kill our economy and lower your standard of living, permanently. The state will take your guns. The state will raise your children. America will no longer be a Constitutional Republic. The Bill of Rights will be nullified. Forget the America you knew and prepare to be a client-state of globalists. [More]

Internet tiger talkers that ridicule voting and pretend to be above it all notwithstanding, my experience has been that the overwhelming majority of gun owners jump through all the hoops to comply, and even assure those dictating the terms of surrender that defiant dissenters who will not comply "don't speak for them."

Billionaire-Funded 'Anarchy'

 

Anarchy is Beautiful, Says Teen Vogue [More]

Shouldn't these people be swatting jilters and teaching children about anal sex or something?

The buck stops here.

Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night

 It’s official: You can’t protect yourself. [More]

We've briefly looked at this before, but Ann Coulter does a really good job of breaking down all the outrages. 

Understand that this could be any one of us. 

And that @ThunderGawdKen would still want you to die.

They really are reducing our options down to a binary choice.

Think of It as Diversification

 Seattle to Pay Ex-Pimp $150,000 to Come Up With ‘Alternatives to Policing’ [More]

What's with the "ex"? It looks like he's still got a stable of nasty whores bringing in the ill-gained money for him.

Because We All Know the Best Pigs Come from Pokes

Conservatism, Inc. Informs Us That Opposition to Lagoa Is Racist ... Fund expertly assures us that her short time as a federal judge (following several years on the Florida bench) and lack of paper trail on constitutional questions should be no more a cause for concern on the Right than it was for, that’s right, David Souter. [More]

So we're racists if we have reasons for finding Lagoa unacceptable that have nothing to do with race?

What can I say but "National Review"?

This is the guy who wrote:

I favor a comprehensive immigration bill that combines stepped-up border enforcement with a large guest-worker program and a method by which we can bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows of our society.

I don't suppose John Fund would care to take a little challenge?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Victim' Is

 Four individuals, including the partner of one of the victims of the deadly Kenosha, Wisconsin, shootings, have filed a lawsuit against Facebook, the suspected gunman Kyle Rittenhouse and two leaders of online groups. [More]

So lawless commies are using the law to amass property?

And I thought Rittenhouse was the victim...?

Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

 Grass Roots North Carolina President Paul Valone sent out notice within the hour saying that the protest against Sheriff Baker for not doing the job for which he was elected is off. The GRNC office received tons of emails and calls from supporters saying since state law prevented them from being armed in the face of potential violence they just couldn’t be there. [More]

I'd wondered about that.

Funny, how when the 2nd isn't recognized the 1st is soon to follow...

Urban Preppers

 Rioters in Louisville had a U-Haul on standby loaded up with supplies, and immediately geared up as soon as the Breonna Taylor decision was announced. People pretend these riots happen out of nowhere. They don't. They're well-coordinated and prepared. [More]

And financed...

Notice all the ways the ADL dismissal redirects from all that?

Cheesy All the Way Around

Costco yanks product after founder calls BLM a 'terrorist' group. [More]

Just in case you needed another reason to have nothing to do with COSTCO...

I was going to say "Bravo, Palmetto Cheese!" except it looks like the owner is now in full struggle session confession mode as if he'll ever be forgiven and welcomed back into the hive.

Should'a Would'a Could'a

With Great Immunity Comes Great Responsibility

 DOJ: Here's our plan to hold online platforms accountable for 'unlawfully censoring' speech [More]

It'll take a Republican sweep, and even if they win it will be tied up for years in the courts.

Just in Time to Give Murkowski and Collins a Hand

Winner of Ariz. special Senate election should be 'promptly seated': Dem Mark Kelly [More]

Counting chickens are we? Well, we all know why.

Too bad Arizona Republicans keep putting up uniparty swamp squishes.

Did I mention Kelly relies on political extortion to dragoon corporations into doing his bidding?

Bash the Fa...uh...sh

BLM activists descend on gay DC neighbourhood, assault residents ... a man being harassed is seen holding his puppy, yelling, "I marched with you", to the protesters. [More]

Yeah, well, you know what happens when idiots are no longer useful...

Milking the Narrative for All It's Worth

 While protests in Louisville had been largely peaceful, scuffles broke out between police and protesters and some people were arrested before the two officers were shot while investigating reports of gunfire Wednesday night. [More]

Ah, yes, "peaceful demonstrators."

I wonder how many stories about these two men being set up and murdered are qualified with that characterization.

In fairness, this one says "largely peaceful" instead of "mostly peaceful."
