And There Was War in Heaven

Unlike Mike, I just recently learned of this. [More]

I agree with him.

And no, if you don't know what it's about, don't worry about it. I'm not inclined to put out any further details at this time.

The Chase

Tonight, on "Stop the Threat"... [More]

We're the Only Ones Circumventing Enough

The Senate gave its stamp of approval Wednesday to an Assembly bill to allow police agencies to circumvent a recent win in the courts on how sheriffs consider carry permit applications. [More]

Gee, I wonder if you or I would be able to "circumvent" court rulings...?

Against the Rules

The 67-year-old man who shot an alleged intruder accused of trying to steal his prescription painkillers has been told by his landlord he cannot have a firearm in his apartment. [More]

We talked about this yesterday.

You could ask if they'll sign a contract assuming a duty to protect with liability should they fail, but it would just be simpler to tell him and the management company, and especially Russell Gagne, who would obviously rather their tenant had been killed by a home invader, to go f*** themselves. It's an unenforceable condition, and this is screaming for a lawsuit.

But the nerve of those a******s...

We're the Only Ones Incredibly Proud Enough

“Honestly, I’m incredibly proud at how I handled the situation,” said Spitzer... [More]

What, for reinserting yourself into a situation and threatening lethal force against someone who made no threats and who did not try to attack you...?

“There’s a million different ways to handle an issue or an incident, but what he did did not constitute any type of crime,” Lt. Jeff Hallock of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said.

That's because he's a supervisor, enjoying "Only One"-like carry "privileges."  Any guesses what tune Hallock would be singing if you or I had done that in "may (not and probably won't) issue" SoCal?  Weapons charges, brandishing, assault, kidnapping...

Oh, look: Sandra Hutchens was co-chair of his campaign.

You know, the OC sheriff who "is back to making it tough for people to get concealed weapon permits."

There are laws for you and laws for them. Just like the Founders intended...

TTAG Exclusive: Fast & Furious Whistleblower Says Put ATF on Trial for Brian Terry’s Murder

“If I had my way, the ATF agents and managers who helped arm the rip crew defendants that killed Brian and the DOJ executives who turned a blind eye to the gunrunning would be on trial right alongside Ivan Soto Barraza and Jesus Lionel Sanchez Mesa,” Dobyns concluded. [More]

If I had my way, we'd also find out how much higher up charges would have to be filed.

The Old Double Standard

A Kentucky clerk defies a law she opposes, and they throw her in jail. [More]

The "progressive" and "tolerant" rulers of the City of San Francisco do it, and they send the cops after the guy for asking them if we're all free to disregard laws we oppose.

America. What a country.

Duck and Cover

The community college in California's capital was under protective lockdown as police continued to search late Thursday for the suspect, described as a man of Pacific Island background wearing a white T-shirt and beige cargo shorts. [More]

All I can say is, he'd better not be a student.

Hey: Great timing!

A Sophomoric Opinion

[More]

Now stamp your feet. If that doesn't work, hold your breath.

Exodus

The problem is, they bring their nest-fouling habits with them. [More]

Reflections

And yet, we do what we can with what we have, for God commands us to stand. He doesn't command us to win, but he does expect us to fight. [More]

Mike considers his situation.

I wish I could give my friend his grandson, his goats and his bees.

Unfortunately, Powerball is designed for people with an extremely limited grasp of wise investment strategies, and the sad reality is, all I have to do is get six lousy numbers and I can't even do that right.

Rotten Olive Branch Offered after Roanoke Murders

I challenged the assumption that such edicts exist, and also the admonition that “public civility” is always the appropriate response to hostile subversives and useful idiots. Those were general concepts. Let’s take a look now at the specifics being offered by IFoA. [More]

My latest AmmoLand offering looks at a preemptive surrender being offered by the more "moderate" among us. I didn't even use any cuss words.

Fine By Me

[More]

Some of these guys have decided to engage, but the bottom line is, a critical mass of us will not comply with illegal infringements no matter what stupid sh!+ these hive insects try to come up with.

Turnabout's Fair Play

RNC presses Trump to pledge no independent 2016 run [More] 

So will the other RNC candidates and "leaders" pledge to support Trump if he does win the party nomination?

Third party may actually be the way to go this time, if only to show it can be done, and that people are catching on to a foolish and fraudulent idea.  With Hillary's criminality becoming less concealable each passing day to all but dependents and fanatics, with the GOP offering the usual gang of establishment sellouts, and with his ability to attract working class voters, I can see Trump pulling in over a third of the electorate. That will make the tired accusation we've seen over the years that "If you don't vote for _____ that means the Democrat will win," into something The Donald's supporters can turn back on the ones making it: You don't want Hillary? Vote for our guy. otherwise, it's your fault.

I'm enjoying the theater, especially seeing increasing desperation from the same political con men who have been ignoring, putting down and betraying their base for years under the arrogant assumption that conservative-leaning voters had nowhere else to go.

UPDATE: I guess it's a moot point now.  Perhaps it will forestall some savage attacks.

An Expert Opinion

[T]hat immigrants and other losers are destroying the country while the cultural elites that look down on him stand by and do nothing resonates strongly with the less-educated, lower-income whites who appear to be his base. [More]

Oh, Arthur Goldwag-- you're so much more "progressive" than those provincial, ignorant racists you rightfully feel so superior to. I mean, you've obviously got really broad life experience yourself.

Of Course They Knew

Records indicate DOJ execs aware of misconduct alleged in ATF case [More]

A-yup.

That's objectionable, alright.

Why We Need Waiting Periods

So wheelchair-bound homeowners can have an extended "cooling off period," of course... [More]

He kept it under his pillow?  I thought trained professionals were the "Only Ones" who could do that. I also see the guy doesn't understand the value of keeping his lips zipped.

That said, what's the DA's hold-up?

We're the Only Ones Trigger-Happy Enough

Looks like attempted cold-blooded murder to me... [More]

And the guy's a lieutenant, with prior lethal force issues in a department where that appears to be part of the culture. He's been getting away with being who and what he is for a very long time, and everyone knew it, but still set the Sardaukar loose on the public.

Not that The Daily Beast will change its mind on the wisdom of sociopaths like this being the "Only Ones" armed... After all, that would result in true egalitarian power sharing, and what is it we know from experience about "progressives"...?

We're the Only Ones Bearing Down Enough

They call it “The Bear.” The Detroit Police Department’s new bigger, badder and better SWAT vehicle is able to hold more team members, set perimeters for police and assist in search and rescue operations. [More]

Man, when we think of the destruction one of these monsters could do in a wrong-house raid, hell, brings tears of joy to our eyes...

[Via Florida Guy]  

Take the Train

What do you want to ride around in environment-ravaging personal vehicles for, when more socially responsible alternatives exist? [More]
