Meanwhile, Everybody's Frothing at the Mouth Over Jim Acosta

We, the undersigned, ask that you contribute today to this pro bono GoFundMe effort to help five time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson finance her landmark lawsuit against the Department of Justice for the spying on her computers after she reported honestly but negatively about the federal government and the past presidential administration. [More]

What does what happened to her and the need for individuals to do this tell us about the state of "journalism" as practiced by the DSM?

California Bar Killings

Twelve dead as trenchcoat-wearing gunman storms student night at country bar: Suspect kills himself after hurling smoke grenades onto dance floor and killing cop in California [More]

First order of information gathering business: The Google News link for Borderline Bar and Grill can be accessed throughout the day and beyond for updates and breaking information.

My first impressions:

• The atrocity was committed in #1-with-gun-grabbers California. No "gun laws" will ever be considered enough, yet that's exactly what we're already hearing screams for. 
• "May issue" generally means "won't issue," and in any case, the standard application prohibits concealed carry in "a place having a primary purpose of dispensing alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption."
• This is a country bar, like the Las Vegas killings were at a country event. Is it a mere coincidence that the "target demographic" has generally been predisposed toward a traditional American mindset?
• Seconds counted. The police were three minutes away.
• When we do get an ID on the perp, look for all his social media to go on lockdown beforehand or soon thereafter, meaning we will be dependent on what the "authorities" share with the DSM for all information.

UPDATES to follow:

• .45 handgun... at least no "AR-15," but handguns were the original goal, so look for a return to the roots. I won't be surprised to see a push to reclassify all semiauto handguns as "assault weapons," and the gun-grabbers have already telegraphed what they want to do then.
• Tattooed trenchcoat-wearing gunman ... Ian Long, 29, 
• Coed.com helpfully (for Don Lemon) advises all he was "white," a courtesy that all too often seems unoffered in other cases. 
• Former Marine with PTSD who was said to live with his mother...
• 5 Fast Facts
• Six off-duty, unarmed police officers from various agencies were at the bar when the shooting began...
• Another observation from looking at all the media profiles on the guy-- past practice says if he had been a "right wing extremist" we'd be having that rubbed in our faces by now.  That everything I've been able to find is silent on his motivaters makes me wonder, since I find it hard to believe someone doesn't know what they were.

In a Blank's Age

The students — two black, one Asian, and one Hispanic — told administrators that they thought what they did would be funny. [More]

If they'd been white do you think the focus would be on "teachable moments"?

Note most of the DSM outlets I've seen blur the word out because we can't let adults see and judge for themselves.

Follow the Money

Gun control groups are on track to outspend the National Rifle Association in federal races for the first time in years... [More]

Huh. If I just had the DSM to go on, I'd have thought it was the other way around:

Conveniently anonymous...

Now do an analysis on small vs. large donor funding sources.

From the Department of Pre-Blame

President Trump's stunning attack on Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Wednesday is being interpreted by many on Capitol Hill as an attempt to deflect blame and throw the retiring Speaker under the bus should the GOP lose its House majority next week. [More]

The Hill may want readers to believe that. There's nothing "stunning" about Trump defending issues he was elected on from predictable "moderate" opposition, especially when they're the ones firing the first shot.

Now define "many," and show they're not swamp creatures to a man.

"One GOP operative"?  Michael Steele?

What's also predictable is the DSM priming the public for blame redirection should the "blue wave" psyops work. Very few will look at how much fire GOP losers doused in the bellies of erstwhile supporters by betraying them on key core issues like RKBA and "immigration" invasion.

What will have been rejected is self-serving capitulators, collaborators and rope-sellers.

Ignorance is Strength

"We try our very darndest to get out the fact that we don't want to take away guns and that we are pro-Second Amendment..." [More]

That's the same big lie her Hogglet comrade tells, and DSM organs like Variety are happy to help propagate it.

This video is so full of subversive lies and non sequiturs it's hard to keep track of them all, which is intentional since the purpose is to manipulate emotions. But one telling admission stands out:

We had a resource officer and he did -- excuse my language -- he did jackshit...

Don't expect any connection to be made.

Oops, Our Bad

Establishment media outlets repeatedly bungled their coverage of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, spreading misinformation as a result. [More]

"Bungled"?

Like in "botched gun sting"?

The lazy useful idiots no doubt amplified talking points, but the narrative being parroted was pure DSM.

"Not Evil Just Wrong" is a Groverian delusion.

If "three times" is "enemy action," what the hell is nine?

The propagandists weren't "pushing misinformation." They were lying on behalf of their handlers. For power. Over you, me and ours.

And a Big 'So What?' to NPR

What is clear is that, at times, the Russians followed so closely behind the American gun rights group that it duplicated its content word for word. [More]

Domestic gun-grabbers work hand in hand with the globalist ones as the DSM parrots talking points they all use and it's no big deal?

There is absolutely no evidence that any of this was a violation of law, which is what NPR is trying to not so subtly imply.

If it's a common argument, slogan or meme that does not serve their agenda, "progressives" mean to shut it down.

For the Children

The feMarxists and the powers behind them don't care about this woman. They don't care about these little girls and what the vicious power grab against their father abetted and amplified by the DSM -- that their schoolmates see and talk about -- is doing to them.

They would kill him in front of them or them in front of him if it served their goals. And they'd do the same to you and yours.

"Commonsense gun safety laws," anyone?

A Need-to-Know Basis

Snochia Moseley: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know [More]

Sorry, but I'll be the judge of what I need to know, and it looks like that's been deliberately cut off from independent review.  That means whatever else we need to know will come from Baltimore government "authorities" as amplified by and filtered through the DSM.

How else am I going to be able to check for NRA and other "right-wing extremist" affiliations?

Exposing Apparatchiks

O’Keefe said the undercover videos that will be part of unmasking the Deep State will name names. [More]

That his efforts are so singular and remarkable is the biggest indictment against the DSM I can think of.

News You Can Wipe With

Newspaper Publishers Association honors Maxine Waters with ‘leadership’ award [More]

"DSM" means exactly what it implies.

Funny, what SPLC doesn't consider a hate group.

Lies, Damned Lies...

US accounts for just 1% of mass shootings, not media-hyped 31% [More]

So which figure do you think will reach and influence  more people? And do you think that bothers anyone in the DSM?

[Via Michael G]

Perception is Everything

It’s time to play “What does Everytown pretend is a school shooting?” again. [More]

That must be a popular game because all the DSM is promoting it.

The Ravages of Kristol Meth

I've been looking at some polling crosstabs and I've got to say to my fellow white men over 55: you are a great disappointment to me.  On the other hand, it seems fitting and consistent with the American story that women, minorities and young people now step up to save the republic. [More]

Speaking of disappontments...

Think Bill would ever take the challenge...?

The DSM calls him a "conservative."

How must that make them feel enabled to portray us?

Crimes of Omission

Media ignore Trump’s British support on NATO [More]

I missed this when it came out last month.

Watch Gingrich's statement.

Meanwhile, the DSM and their tech oligarch co-conspirators are doing everything they can to close off independent sources bringing information they want suppressed. They really are creating the conditions resulting in the very hostility they're complaining about.

Redux

COURT DOCS: SPLC Co-Founder Accused of Trying to Molest Step-Daughter With Sex Toy [More]

I'm wondering why the resurgence now. This stuff has been out there for years available to challenge SPLC credibility and the DSM has been silent.

Et Tu, Abbott?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday he could support stronger regulations for gun storage and quicker reporting to law enforcement when a court has determined someone is mentally ill in order to keep them from having weapons. [More]

Told ya:

In addition to repeating calls for all the usual prior restraints, don't be surprised to see a new “lock up your safety” push, under the ignorant presumption that one “solution” fits all. They stand a good chance of getting away with it, too, because relatively few people have heard of or remember the Merced pitchfork murders.

And note the DSM "2 small gun rules" editorializing in the headline of what is being presented as "straight news."

I suppose going back to segregated water fountains but leaving the rest of the Civil Rights Act intact would be described by them as minor setbacks?

Gun-Grabbers to Run with It In 3...2...1...

A jailed man who gave a statement in November to police and the FBI recalled a man he believed to be Paddock ...  a woman said she overheard a man she later said was Paddock ... The claims by those people and others could not be verified... [More]

Which, if you're the DSM, is all you need to come up with an hysterical headline like "Las Vegas gunman 'was a right-wing conspiracy theorist': Stephen Paddock ranted about Waco, Ruby Ridge, FEMA and thought the military was planning to 'kick down doors and confiscate guns', witnesses claim" and smear all principled RKBA  advocates, plus take attention off an "investigation" that has all the markings of a real "conspiracy" to stonewall and suppress.

Good luck getting the focus back on that now that we've got this manipulated redirect targeting skeptics and setting the stage for national "red flag" due-process evisceration.

Yet Another 'A'-Rated Traitor Brought to You by the 3D Chessmasters of Fairfax

"Some of us who passionately believe you’re elected to legislate, you’re elected to get things done, we want to bring all sides together," Paulsen said. [More]

Passionately enough to betray the people who put them in office, evidently...

Any gun owner who votes for him regardless is a willing cuck, and the reason these power sluts continue to cheat on them.

When enough of these Quisling demoralize enough supporters to succeed in handing the House over in the midterms, look to the DSM to claim it's a rejection of the platform that resulted in Hillary's loss.

The thing that gets me most is the way gun owners aren't given the complete picture.  From an earlier report:

Democratic Congressman Colin [sic] Peterson and Republican Congressman Erik Paulsen have each received $20,000 in NRA donations in recent years. Political analyst Larry Jacobs says for Peterson, who represents a conservative rural district, the donations will not be an issue. But for Paulsen, who represents a more moderate suburban district, the donations could hurt.

The Democrat Party is willing to give up its gun vote interests in order to maintain a district because it knows once it gets enough of a majority it won't matter big picturewise. Directly related subversion is then conveniently ignored via the "single issue" ruse.

So Peterson is still free to back gun-grabber Commie-Lite Bernie, and to sell us out on the greatest threat to "legal" recognition of RKBA.

Ditto for Paulsen, who did his cowardly part to help Hillary.

I wonder if the orange cards could be used to bring up mail fraud charges.
