...to know that giving unionizing TSA mugs crystal balls isn't going to do a damn thing to make you and me safer, but it will do plenty to make us less free. [More]
I think I'm going to start a company that makes pixie dust we can sprinkle on air travelers. True, it will actually be repackaged bulls***, but I figure if I put it in my wife's name as a disadvantaged/woman- owned business, I may just be able to get some of that "free government money" there seems to be so much of in these days leading up to the financial ruin of the Republic...

You Can't Buy a Gun...

See how simple life can be when we just let judges tell us what our rights are?

We're the Only Ones Shocked--Shocked Enough
Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan says he's shocked by the arrest of one of his officers in a string of robberies in suburban Dakota County. [More]Ah yes, one of "the few that fail."
I like that better than "bad apples," Chief. I might start using it to point out how isolated from the norm all these "Only Ones" stories people keep sending me are.
Thankfully, as those of you who send me multiple tips every day can attest, I only use a few of them so as not to overwhelm this site and lose focus on its main purpose. Plus I'd hate to be accused of denigrating law enforcement.

We're the Only Ones Translating Enough
In a move to crack down on weapons from the U.S. that are funneled to drug cartels, police in Latin America will soon be able to track American gun sales in their own language, despite privacy concerns by gun-rights advocates. [More]Oh, but don't worry:
Under U.S. law, such information is private and can be seen only by law-enforcers doing legitimate investigations.Say--under their own national laws, aren't all police (even secret ones) "law-enforcers"?
And isn't that where groups like Los Zetas sprang from?
And when even the Mexican army doesn't know which police are trustworthy, how the hell is some damn BATFU bureaucrat supposed to determine it's "legitimate investigation"?
Yeah, give a group with known ties to murderous narcoterrorists personal information on American gun owners in the name of fighting crime.
I'd say "unbelievable" if I really meant it. But when it comes to "Only Ones," I'm getting pretty tough to surprise.

We're the Only Ones Keeping Abreast of the Situation Enough
The young mother, who told police she is nursing her children, says Officer Loverde put on the blue glove, put his hand under her shirt and squeezed her breast and made a crass comment. [More]Ms. Doolittle? Your cue...
All I want is to nurse my child,
Far away from "Only Ones" gone wild.
And now there's charges filed
Aow, wouldn't it be Loverde?

A Not Quite Conversion
These days, I think differently about the Second Amendment. I now know that the conventional wisdom about firearms is often wrong-headed. You would think that gun control would automatically reduce violent crime, but that wouldn't be true. [More]That's a good realization, Gregory Alan Thornbury, Dean of the School of Christian Studies at Union University.
So you guys are gonna drop this prohibition, then, right?
POSSESSING FIREARMS, OR WEAPONS. This is the possession, whether open or concealed, of any weapon (including, but not limited to paintball guns, slingshots and airsoft guns) that could be used to intimidate, scare, or harm others or possession of materials used to manufacture bombs, firearms, or weapons.I said "Right?"
ADL Engages in Stereotyping, Bigotry Against Gun Owners
We're not supposed to have prior restraint on rights in this country, Mr. Foxman. That's what makes us different from all those places refugees like you have fled from. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a small-minded bigot masquerading as a civil rights leader.

This Day in History: January 8
We ought also to consider that it was so unexpected, and must have been so humiliating a thing, for a whole British army to surrender their arms, and deliver themselves up prisoners to those of whom they had been accustomed to speak with such contempt and disdain -that it is not to be wondered at, if the common soldiers did some things out of spite and ill humour, not to be justified.

I Wish They'd Settle This
We're the Only Ones God-Like Enough
A TSA agent was arrested on January 3rd in Terminal One at LAX, a source told NBCLA. He had just gotten off duty and was behaving erratically, saying, "I am god, I’m in charge." The agent was arrested. [More]Well, it's not like they don't, as a whole, insist on being be treated like they are.
Not just "Only Ones"--TSA "Only Ones"...
We all saw what happened to Michael Yon, right?
We know the only thing that saved everyone from the crotch bomber was the passengers? That TSA totally, as Obama put it, "blew it"? Just like with the airport worker's bag that cause such panic? Or the honey?
Hey, at least the video cameras were on when one of the "gods" let a man walk under the rope barrier and into the terminal without passing through security. Or were they?
Then there's the old vaudeville joke "Does your dog smell?"
Meanwhile, our overlords are telling us it's because a nomination is being held up. I mean, why shouldn't someone who abuses confidential databases for his own personal use--and then lies to Congress about it-- be in charge of the nation's air security?
We know what the solution is, don't we?
Disarm you and me, of course, silly.
So our gods can get back to the serious business of partying with drugs and securing the one thing they treat with attention--their place in the collective...
And oh, looky here: We're going to be shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on...with our lives.

Self-Defense "Archaic" for Bay Area Enuretics
"I think it's kind of archaic," Livermore resident Grant Balfour told ABC7. He and a friend sat on a nearby bench watching while the officers frisked Stanley. "I don't see any Indians or cowboys running up and down the street. I think it's time to grow up." [More]Nice Sarah Brady Paradise accent there, Grant old chap. I don't know what ever happened to "when in Rome," but I love how people come here and demand we adapt to their native tyranny. Yeah, expecting the government to be your protector is a lot more grown up, you simple child.
And then we have this expert opinion:
"I think that you're asking for trouble if you walk around with an exposed weapon on your hip," Livermore resident Yvonne Douglas said. "Because I think it would be easy for someone to take that away from you."Why don't you show us how easy that is, you ignorant cud-chewer? Maybe you and Grant could gang up...

A Request to Vacate
Wayne Fincher is trying to get his case dismissed. MOWCA Blog has the court documents. [More]
NWA Online has the story here, but you need to be a subscriber to read it for free. If anyone else is reporting on this, I can't find it.
What, you didn't think it was in the interests of our government watchdog "Authorized Journalists" to keep us informed on the persecution of unalienable rights activists, did you?
Ironic. When the feds want to "vacate" our rights, they don't "request" a damn thing.

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions
Aside from law enforcement officers, does anyone really have a valid reason to carry a gun onto a school campus? [More]Yes, you bleating idiot, we do.
You missed the lesson of "Simple Jack," didn't you?
Don't go "full retard."
Or do. It could work to our advantage.
MSNBC's Ed Schultz: Ban NBA Players from Owning Guns
OK, how about if the networks ban all of their talking heads from owning guns? Hey, with great power comes great responsibility, right? See, I can rip off Spiderman dialog, too.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at power combined with irresponsibility--or more accurately, subversive domestic enemy action.
Why don't you press MSNBC to set the example, Ed? As a condition of employment there, no one who has any "visibility" with the public may own a gun. [More]

We're the Only Ones Ensuring Incompetence Enough
The Chicago Police Department is seriously considering scrapping the police entrance exam, sources tell Fran Spielman.So they won't actually have to understand that Constitution they're required to swear an oath to support? And these boobs are going to tell us what the law is?
Dropping the exam would bolster minority hiring and avert legal battles, according to one source, while others confirm that the exam could be scrapped to open the process to as many people as possible. [More]
So much for the argument that they're the professionals. Wonder how the Brady's are going to lie their way around this?
Why not just put up a "Thugs for Hire--Inquire Within" sign? Oh, right--because they couldn't read it.
Not just "Only Ones"--Chicago "Only Ones".
Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
Has everybody had just about enough of this yet?
