The First Rule of Might Club

 California Democrats Manipulate Recall Date in Effort to Salvage Gov. Newsom - “Gavin Newsom and his enablers are changing the rules for the Recall in the middle of the game.” [More]

Might makes right and who has the guns makes the rules. 

That's why they're called "rulers."

The Enemy of My Enemy

 Michael Sullivan: Biden’s ATF nominee would compromise agency’s mission. Here’s how [More]

Jeez, if even Maximum Mike is against him...

United They Kneel

Not a single Republican even bothered to point out the unbelievable hypocrisy of the proceeding. They were too busy looking down at their shoes and contemplating their next surrender. It was a gut churning disgrace. [More]

They got purdy mouths.

We're the Only Ones Having It Our Way Enough

 All 19 workers at a fast food restaurant in Pakistan were detained after refusing to give a group of police officers free burgers last week. [More]

Playing by the Rules

 Key to regaining our liberty is making government officials abide by the same rules against the initiation of violence that apply to private citizens.  [More]

By closing off other means of redress, it looks like Waco rules and Romanian rules will be the inevitable outcome.

A Modest Proposal

 What to Do With a Lawless IRS? [More]

Well, there is that...

And the Taliban Prize for Destroying Buddhist Statues Goes To...

 Michael Paul Williams, a veteran journalist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary Friday for a series of “penetrating and historically insightful columns" about the process of dismantling the city's Confederate monuments. [More]

That's not all he wants to dismantle.

Looks like you don't even have to be a "real reporter" to get one of those babies. Just tell 'em what they want people to hear and toss your hat in (as long as you present a profile they can signal their inclusiveness with)!

Damn Rebels

 The rule of law dictates that there must be some means of righting wrongs, or it serves no purpose at all. [More]

And the rule of men says those with the guns are sole arbiters of who is "wrong."

On the Outs

 Outspoken Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a leader in the effort by states to fight President Joe Biden’s open-border policies and liberal election “reforms,” is joining the 2022 race to replace new Sen. Mark Kelly. [More]

Outspent will trump outspoken.

High Anxiety

 You believe that these mass casualty events have become so common that it is important for everyone in this country to be prepared? [Watch]

That's what we're talking about.

Although seeing as how this is 60 Minutes doing its best to gin up the hoplophobia and handwringing over common rifle ammo in "High Velocity," I question what this tool thinks "prepared" means...

Another Red Flag Law Supporter

 Anti-gunner: “let’s kill judge Benitez” [More]

Now there's a person that needs a custodian.

At Least Some People Find Me Appealing...

 DOJ in this case, over this:

Today's Low-Hanging Fruit Report

 She bought 47 guns last month. Police are already finding them in shooting investigations [More]

Well, there's an easy headline for the feds and more ammo for the grabbers. What did she and her moron boyfriend "think" was going to happen?

On a Need to Know Basis

 The Austin American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes and potentially put innocent individuals at risk. [More]

What's more important? The public's safety or its sensibilities?

UPDATE: Looks like this is the new normal...
