Dave Workman/Seattle:
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

More information on ATF ‘walking’ guns across Mexican border

That would make this an international law enforcement incident, would it not? [More]
Breaking news...direction not to say anything to Mexican authorities came from the top.

Defying History

Dennis Henigan apparently thinks we don't pay nearly enough attention to revisionist subversives. [Read]

He oughta know.

A Real Paradox...

How the "highest court" can have the lowest traitors...[Read]

We're the Fauxnly Ones...

Detroit Police are searching for some fake cops who are kicking down doors and robbing and terrorizing people in their own homes. [More]
These stories often prompt "What's the difference?" comments.

Exactly.

So just be aware that there are plenty of news accounts out there, just in case you ever need to use the confusion as a defense.

We're the Only Ones Urban Legends Enough

The Captain says the violent gang exists.  The Chief says they're a rumor. [Read]

I find it hard to believe--after all, we're talkin' Milwaukee here...

[Via Michael R]

We're the Only Ones Stung Enough

“I think we’re all sick” about the allegations, Police Chief Rick Armstrong said yesterday. I think we’re embarrassed.” [More]
No doubt. Having this stuff come to light about your "elites" has gotta be a real downer.  Kind'a makes me wonder about the ones who aren't so special and trusted...

Injustice Everywhere

One of the great injustices is that so many "Authorized Journalists" who have utterly abandoned any sense of being government watchdogs are so well rewarded, while the lonely voices working day in and day out in relative obscurity constantly struggle to eke out a minimalist existence.

Reader Mark Matis submitted this as a comment on my plea for Vanderboegh (everyone who visits him regularly has done something, right?). I didn't approve the comment there because I think it merits a standalone mention, so as not to get buried and ignored in an old post, which, face it, very few go back to visit.
The guy who runs this site:
http://www.injusticeeverywhere.com/
could use some help as well, although he would probably prefer any leads towards a job using his skills. He provides and compiles his info in an unbiased manner and I believe he deserves support for his efforts.

Happy New Year!

I note there is a "Donate" button. 

Gun owners should be aware of multiple ATF developments

Several updates to stories previously discussed in this column that involve the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives ought to be understood by all gun owners interested in keeping informed. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner column links to the latest on Andrew Traver and BATFU's "emergency" long gun registration scheme, and shows us how the Bureau intends to tighten its belt--or at least give that appearance.

Also note the return of an important resource, meet an editorial enabler and watch a rerun in case you missed the live performance.

This Day in History: January 6

Battle of Sunbury - Fort commander John McIntosh replies "Come and take it" to the British demand for surrender. [More]

ATF source confirms ‘walking’ guns to Mexico to ‘pad’ statistics

"It's true. Pure fact verified. Ongoing inv(estigation..." [More]
I have done everything I can to responsibly investigate and verify this--otherwise, I would not have run it. It would be foolish to assume that certain people do not want this looked into. It just seems turning on the lights is the most prudent course.

Help me do that by sharing the link?

GRE Round Up for January 5

Here are the latest offerings from my fellow GREs:

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

It's a Bird! It's a Plane!

It's gonna be Deadman if this comical fool ever runs up against the wrong arch-villain. [Read]

Somehow, he doesn't impress me as being faster than a speeding bullet.

[Via Plug Nickel Times]

Protecting the Environment

University president Michael Young wrote in a memo that “having weapons in plain sight on this campus creates a fearful and intimidating campus environment.” [More]
I dunno, Mike, if we're talking environmental issues here, have you seen how long it takes these things to degrade in a landfill?

Assuming you ever change yours...?

[Via Michael R]

We're the Only Ones Tossed Enough


Lee Paige, the founding father/patron saint of the "Only Ones" continues to bring us comedy gold. [Read]

[Via lots of you]

We're the Only Ones Nutty Enough

A State Highway Patrol officer who was named his post's Trooper of the Year in 2008 was arrested Sunday during the game at Browns Stadium after he was accused of throwing peanuts at two deputies and vandalizing a jail cell. [More]
"Trooper of the Year"?

So he's not a "bad apple"?

Just a violent nut case?  One who keeps us safe from other drunken cops?

Communist Dreams

More interesting to me than the main rant, which truly didn't interest me at all, are the comments. [Read]

Does anyone seriously think there can be peace with these nasty hive insects? Has their evil doctrine ever produced anything but genocide, killing fields, poverty and starvation?

Is it any wonder they host these subversives?

Maybe it's time to ask "Republicans" Paul Helmke and Sarah and Jim Brady why they happily partner with a site that openly promotes the destruction of capitalism...

I'm wondering if this entire disgusting lot doesn't qualify for the term "domestic enemies," who does?

We're the Only Ones Biting Enough

San Leandro police Monday were investigating an incident with a K-9 unit dog that was involved in a deadly attack on another dog over the holidays. [More]
Good thing this happened in Brentwood.

Otherwise, the other dog's owner may have been armed.  And you can get in serious trouble for injuring a  police dog.

The Intent of the Founders

How often have we heard some anti claim the Founders never meant for people to have modern weapons because all they had were muskets, or some such lie built along those lines?

I guess they never meant for us to be secure in our electronic effects, either...

Either that or the California Supreme Court is dominated by domestic enemies.

Ordnance crossing into Mexico over border—its southern one

Regular readers will recall how the criminal enterprise started by rogue Mexican special forces operatives has expanded its influence—first as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel and now as a rival power. That they’ve established themselves in neighboring Guatemala is hardly surprising, and would appear to circumstantially dovetail with another development being reported by Tim Johnson, Mexico Bureau Chief for McClatchy Newspapers...[More]
This Gun Rights Examiner column notes that ours isn't the only border with Mexico.

Also tune in to the first...uh...live Trigger Sports LIVE! of the new year.
