OIG Report to DOJ for Review

Katie Pavlich got the scoop. [Read]

Looks like Workman had it too:

Sources told Examiner Wednesday that the Inspector General’s report was transmitted to the Justice Department this week for “review” and one source indicated the report could be released sometime in the next two weeks. Release just before the Labor Day weekend could bury any damaging aspects, and it could become further removed from public attention by the Democrat convention in early September.

A Time-Honored Practice?

The man who gave the Black Panther Party some of its first firearms and weapons training - which preceded fatal shootouts with Oakland police in the turbulent 1960s - was an undercover FBI informer, according to a former bureau agent and an FBI report. [More]

I certainly hope no "conspiracy theorists" point out how armed Panthers were exploited to gin up hysteria and pass the Mulford Act...

We're the Only Ones Spontaneously Reacting Enough

[San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore] said the deputies thought Orey’s open gate looked suspicious, so they went into her backyard. The deputies ran into Orey, and one of them had a “spontaneous reaction.” [More] 

Hey, he DID go home at the end of his shift. Do you think she would have, had she mistaken him for an intruder, and had a spontaneous reaction of her own?

So we know the victim's name.  What else is missing?

Facts of Shipley case lead to some conclusions, much speculation

One that readers have asked in correspondence: How could Shipley’s attorney allow such prejudicial tactics on the part of the prosecution?

Another is why the government went to such lengths to go after Shipley. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some questions will require more people asking them if we expect to get answers.

An Interesting Dilemma for NRA

I'm assuming everybody here is familiar with the Todd Akin brouhaha by now.

And they also know that winning the Senate is a key objective of "conservative" political activists.

If he does not drop out, will NRA dare back--and by that I mean endorse and financially contribute to and send out mailers on behalf of--this candidate with "an 'A' lifetime rating"? Especially considering they gave Claire McCaskill an "F"?

Or will they, as so many are doing, either keep a low profile, scale back, or abandon him altogether, out of political considerations that have nothing to do with his stance on guns?

If so, what happens to that "single issue organization" mantra their apologists employed to defuse criticism over Harry Reid?

By Any Other Name

Those Who Would Give Up Essential Liberty to Purchase Bucs Tickets

"It wasn't that obtrusive, and I feel it was necessary if that what's they decide to do," said Bucs fan Jim Campbell. [More]

OK, Jim. Enjoy your bread and circuses.  Have an $8 beer.

And when the tyrannical overreach, excuse me, I mean what "people are comfortable with" spreads to everyday life--and that's already happening--there will be no shortage of herd animals bleating their approval.

Which pleases those doing the herding no end.

Nice to see we're so flush we have money for this kind of foolishness. Oh well, since it's "free," why not take advantage of it?

You can "Ask a Question" here.

I'm thinking something along the lines of having them produce a flow diagram to show how you can let guns walk, lose track of them south of the border, and then identify kingpins on the other side...something more compelling than this...

But it can be about anything: the possibilities are endless...

Pigs is Pigs

At the trough:

Bronx Democratic Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera allegedly used a taxpayer-funded nonprofit as her personal piggy bank, installed her unqualified lover as the group’s leader — and then helped him get a fat raise so he could take her on nice dates.

And throughout the sty.

What a feral sow.

This Day in History: August 21

Extract. -- From Earl Cornwallis to Lord George Germain, dated Camden, August 21, 1780.

On the morning of the 17th I dispatched proper people into North Carolina, with directions to our friends there to take arms and assemble immediately, and to seize the most violent people and all military stores and magazines belonging to the rebels, and to intercept all stragglers from the routed army; and I have promised to march without loss of time to their support. Some necessary supplies for the army are now on their way from Charles town, and I hope that their arrival will enable me to move in a few days. [More]
