Malheur Situation Continues to be Powder Keg after Death, Arrests

Now that “authorities” have drawn first blood under disputed circumstances — with no grievance issues resolved — it’s anyone’s guess what, when and where the next move will be, and importantly, by whom. [More]
The situation has still not been resolved and may now actually be more dangerous.

"Conservative" Fox News

That's what the manipulators want us to think about the controlled opposition. [More]

I like that The Donald told them to go to hell.  I bet if he offered an exclusive interview to another network in the same time slot, he'd get better ratings than the other Republicans combined.

We're the Only Ones Approaching the Bench Enough

Guzy confirms the deputy, with more than ten years with the office, accidentally discharged his weapon, firing one bullet which smashed through a wall and imbedded into the desk of a judge.  [More]
Maybe he though it was the judge's turn to rise for him...

Cognizance is Bliss

Former St. Louis assistant circuit attorney Bliss Barber Worrell leaves the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse on Monday, Oct. 26, 2015, after admitting she helped cover up a St. Louis police officer's assault of an arrestee.  [More]
Remember when we though ignorance is Bliss?

Powers that could be designated to volunteers include the ability to detain a person for up to 30 minutes and search someone who has been detained for dangerous items - provided the chief constable has authorised it and it is appropriate to the work the volunteer is doing. [More]

We're the Only Ones 'Third Time's a Charm' Enough

Police shot man dead after he called 911 for help 3 times [More]
That's what we in the business call "a spate."

I'll be damned if I can figure out what happened  -- was the bat to attack police or to defend himself? Are the two mutually exclusive? And what did the woman neighbor do?

In any case, if you're in need of rescue in the gun-hostile Windy City, forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Bernie Sanders’ Divide-and-Conquer Gun Stance Relies on Willing Dupes Ignoring Backers

So what of the doctrinaire “Fudd,” who cares only about duck season and wabbit season, and doesn’t care what else Bernie bans? “Do not ask for whom the bell tolls” and “I shall eat you last” come to mind. [More]
The only thing we need to realize about Bernie Sanders and guns is that he understands Chairman Mao’s observation that “Every Communist must grasp the truth; ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.'”

Federal Heroes Pick Low-Hanging Fruit

A 23-year-old Milwaukee man is facing federal charges for possessing multiple machine guns and a silencer, which he planned to use during a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday. [More]
I don't suppose the "rigorous security screening" that ensured we're graced with Samy's presence in the first place is up for examination...?

Nah, that's not the agenda they're being paid to advance...

Pacific Patriots Network – Official Statement for Immediate Release

It has come to the attention of PPN that many individuals are responding to this news as a ‘Call to Action’. The Pacific Patriots Network is issuing an immediate “STAND BY” Order to all those who are mobilizing to the peaceful city of Burns, Oregon. We will not pursue any action until all of the facts have been pieced together regarding the traffic stop and the arrest of Ammon Bundy. During this time, cooler heads must prevail. We do not wish to inflame the current situation and will engage in open dialogue until all of the facts have been gathered. [More]
In other words, they don't need this guy showing up.

White Privilege

Sorry, my mistake. I thought this article was about our guinea pig... [More]

In that case, the assessment would have been accurate.

She's clamoring again.  No, forget the Timothy-hay and kibble -- we want Romaine lettuce, matchstick carrots and grape tomatoes...

Stop the Vendetta against Gun Owners

The February “short session,” which was sold to Oregonians as a way to deal with nothing but budget issues, is being used to ram through more of Michael Bloomberg’s wish list. [More]
Action needed.

Florida Alert

HB-163 will allow persons with a Concealed Weapons & Firearms License the right to choose to carry firearms openly or concealed ... We need you to contact committee members immediately and urge them to pass this bill. [More]
Since it will be in committee tomorrow, this needs action now.

A Negligent Way to Die

No question about it. [More]

But what's really telling are some of the comments on "progressive" sites rejoicing in this woman's death. No, I won['t link to them here.

We're the Only Ones Commandeering Enough

A federal court has ruled that the Drug Enforcement Agency does not have to pay a truck owner whose vehicle they commandeered in a botched drug sting operation – without his knowledge or permission – in which the agency's confidential informant driver was shot dead and the truck was damaged. [More]

Just Thought I'd Mention This

Now that Ammon Bundy & Co. are in custody, I'm hoping there is a way to make the captors think twice about abuse.  For some reason, I can't shake the memory of the convenient jail "suicide" of Irv Rubin and murder of Earl Krugel, both of whom I'd met while living in L.A.

Oath Keepers Report on Bundy Arrest

Blaine Cooper has reportedly assumed leadership at the Refuge and has been told to leave immediately. During a phone call with Pete Santilli, Pete can be overheard saying, “Blaine, please don’t do this.” Blaine is reportedly wanting to make a stand. Women and children are still at the Refuge. [More]
The danger isn't over.
