One More to Consider


One of the second-tier candidates I mentioned (but did not profile) in my latest Oath Keepers piece inspired a Facebook PM from WarOnGuns Correspondent Greg K:
Heads up....This is from a former federal prosecutor...Henry Hudson is one of the people being interviewed for FBI director. He was director of the US Marshals Service during Ruby Ridge. He is not respected by most marshals, and many blame him for the fiasco at Ruby Ridge. There are other issues with him also, and I hope that the FBI doesn't get saddled with him. Waco involvement too
Looks about right.

It's the Law


DISCOUNTED FOR YOU: ANDREW BRANCA'S 'LAW OF SELF-DEFENSE' SEMINARS [More]

Calling All Xenophobes


[More]
Thank goodness them coming here for that "pathway to citizenship/birthright citizenship" is merely an existential threat and thus has nothing to do with that "single issue." Right, Grover, Wayne, Alan, "gunbloggers"...?

New from DRGO


Where's Weirdo?

They were a few blocks away. [More]

And considering over 80,000 armed citizens gathered peaceably without so much as a mishap, let alone an act of armed aggression, I'd say some big ones are penning stupid comic strips unintentionally revealing what pussies they are.

Just In Case You Don't Get Enough Email...


I don't maintain an email list because I just don't have time to administer one.  I figure if people want my stuff they can come to me, otherwise it would be presumptuous to start spamming.

If you don't get enough email of the type you welcome, there's a simple "Follow By Email" gadget in the left sidebar -- put in your edress and hit "submit," and you'll get one email per day with all the posts -- with an "unsubscribe" option, of course.

There's also a "Contact" form directly under the "Follow" form in case you don't know my edress (dcodrea@hotmail.com) or know how to message me on social media.

One Hurdle Cleared

Judge Rules Students for Concealed Carry Can Sue Ohio State University [More]
Here's a copy of the complaint. I'll ask if they have a landing page where all related documents and updates are linked, and what the next step in the process will be.

Un-American University

American University is blocking whites from cafe designated as ‘sanctuary’ for nonwhites [More]
Yet Opposite Day "progressives" say whites are intolerant haters.

Why shouldn't we view the banana brouhaha as another fake hate crime?

Say, how come privileged whites pay the same...?

So It IS About Duck Hunting!

“I’m a hunter,” Newsom told the union crowd when a man in the audience grumbled about his support for gun control. Newsom, who in his younger days shot lizards with a rifle on visits to his father’s place in the Sierra foothills, said he has hunted ducks and enjoys skeet shooting, but nonetheless supports background checks for gun owners. The hunting might surprise some of Newsom’s fans on Twitter, where he skewers the National Rifle Assn... [More]
What kind of Fudd would buy that, and not know in his heart he was doing wrong?

Yeah, he "nonetheless suppports background checks."  That and a bit more, right, "Contact Reporter" Michael Finnegan? Why minimize it that way?

That "Our Dishonest President" pop-up for The Times' six-part "editorial" series is almost funny. While arguably true, you would never see such an effort had Hillary won.

Hey, here's  an "Authorized Journalist" challenge: He told the hammer and sick... uh ... arm and hammer crowd he's a hunter, present tense. He said he "might go ... for the first time this year" in November, 2015. Did he? When's the last time he pulled a license from Fish and Wildlife?

Think they'd tell me...? (I've written a PRA request and am waiting for legal feedback to see it it's feasible).

UPDATE-- And now I wait some more:

FBI’s Motto Key to Vetting Director Candidates


So what can we demonstrate or infer from Saturday’s round of picks, with an eye toward who has shown true faith and allegiance, particularly toward the right to secure all others, the Second Amendment? [More]
“Fidelity” to what, exactly?

All Fired Up

Gunfire victimizing Kansas Citians at alarming rate [More]

When Seconds Count

“Is somebody going to come over here? If not, I’m going to take care of this.” [More]
You can't always lock yourself in your car.  And depending on what the attacker has, that might end up being the worst thing you could do.

We're the Only Ones Off Roster Enough

“In some instances, ATF has discovered officers who purchased more than 100 “off roster” firearms that were subsequently transferred to non-law enforcement individuals,” Harden continued. “Such transactions potentially constitute violations of federal firearms laws, to include dealing firearms without a FFL, and lying on a federal firearms form when purchasing said firearm — also known as “straw purchasing.” [More]
Gee, special privileges lead to a sense of entitlement that the rules don't apply. Who knew?

Tales of the Unexpected?

At a rambunctious town hall in his district, Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., ran into something he probably never expected to see in his district: voters booing the concept of fundamental, God-given rights. [More]
I don't know that I agree.

He's been around long enough I'm sure he realizes the resentful grievances these raging creatures have is -- and always have been -- with "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
