Democrats acting as Democrats despite Herald Democrat hype

What “America First” vs. partisan agenda examples  do the county apparatchiks offer that fulfill their representation of being “good for everybody”--right before they let slip that they’re “defining ourselves as Democrats” ? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks up the definition of "domestic enemy."

Vanderboegh Medical Update

He's home.

He's waiting for the home health care nurse to get there and hook him up to antibiotics.  That takes its toll. He posted some yesterday, but probably won't post today until after that happens.

Equivalence?

Stand your ground discrimination?  [Read]

Or something entirely different but being exploited regardless, knowing the easily-manipulated won't bother with details and distinctions (begin on deposition pg. 27)?

Plus, they evidently had to call out SWAT and give her an ultimatum to get her to come out...

Says he:

Today's Arizona Republic, Sunday paper, p. B10, 350K circ., virtually no editing -- if they had run this info before the governor's veto, the bill might have passed. Instead, the entire argument took place on non-existent "facts" and hype and misinformation. Rights denial for imaginary safety (not even for real safety). 

That's one of the reasons why this project can make a difference. Will you help make a difference and write a letter of your own?

All You Need to Know About Frustrated Antis

Frustrated that state law will not let them regulate handguns during the Republican National Convention, city officials are considering a direct appeal to Gov. Rick Scott.[More]

See, it's not just the law that frustrates them--it's our very system of government, with separation of power checks and balances.

They want a strongman dictator to issue edicts.

A Critical Failure

So began a series of critical failures by Metro to protect its passengers. [More]

You're how old, and you still think that's their responsibility?  And you think exhibiting an utter lack of situational awareness and preparedness puts none of the responsibility on you?  The fact that you put the emphasis on "fee[ling] safe" as opposed to being safe pretty much says it all.

Here's the thing about Metro's finest: If you're eating candy bars and french fries, that's one thing--chances are they can ruin your day and still go home at the end of their shift. Otherwise...

And by the way, "stalking" the suspect meant you wouldn't have been able to claim "stand your ground" if he'd turned on you, and you then had to use all necessary force to defend yourself. Not that you could in DC anyway...

What's in a Word?

Police say a man attacked a 65-year-old woman with a knife and ripped the earrings from her body. [More] 

As someone who has spent no small amount of time teaching and giving examples to two growing boys about what it means to be a "man," I conclude that cowardly animal and his accomplice don't qualify. There is nothing quite so low as the type of evil parasite who would victimize those trying to help. The existence of such almost makes me rethink my position on roadside crucifixions.

Vanderboegh Medical Update: Good News

I just got off the phone with Mike.  He informed me that he's sitting up and had just finished "a strip of bacon, some scrambled eggs and grits, God love 'em," and was "awaiting judgment" on whether he would hold them down, but had high hopes as he was victorious yesterday over "spaghetti and meatballs and beef tips on rice."

He said "they're talking about letting me go home tomorrow," and had to hang up because his doctor came in the room.

He called me back a few minutes later and said he's scheduled to be released tomorrow morning and will be getting home healthcare visits from a nurse.

I observed this must mean they had the infection under control, and he said "We'll see, at least it's not progressing."

I also told him he sounded a lot stronger and more lucid, and he said that's because they've taken him off the medical marijuana so he's not stoned.  I'd forgotten to mention he was being given Marinol in my previous posts.

We then had a nice conversation about anti-Federalists, Patrick Henry and the strengths and weaknesses of the Constitution.

He tells me he may be doing some posts later today--I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

Half-an hour later...

He called me back with some info on a potential story I can't talk about now, which led into a 45-minute discussion on approaching political and economic storm clouds, and I am very pleased to note that intellectually, he's firing on all cylinders.  I'm very encouraged this morning.

Vanderboegh Medical Update

I just got off the phone with Mike. The doctors have told him he's" not progressing day-by-day, but is progressing week-by-week." They're talking about letting him go home "fairly soon," and he says "that should be good for morale."

What's also good for his morale, and his happiness becomes obvious when I'm speaking with him, is sharing your good wishes, kind sentiments and prayers.
