Munitions Monday

As noted on my "Firearms Friday" interview with Michael Dukes, streaming was down. He's since posted it to SoundCloud:

Coming Soon to a Caliphate Near You

Yahyah Farroukh, a 21-year-old refugee and former foster child, is registered as living at the address in Stanwell where police today conducted a search. His arrest comes after an 18-year-old was arrested at 7.50am in Dover port on Saturday morning as he attempted to board a ferry. The 18-year-old was fostered by Ron and Penny Jones in Sunbury-on-Thames before his arrest, as was Farroukh - though he has since left their home. [More]

It seems the moral equivalent of rescuing predators and then turning them loose.

Thank goodness we're not only rigorous here, but that this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Zazzle-Dazzle

[More]

That's quite a category they have there.

Oh, and look: They have partnered with Hallmark and Disney, and got seed money from Google investors!

No Problemo

Dealing with Democrats? Protecting 'Dreamers'? Here in Arizona that's just fine with these Trump supporters [More]

Just trot out a couple "moderates" and presto, you've got yourself a narrative.

In Your Face!

The 41-year-old attacker used a cleaning substance containing hydrochloric acid that she is thought to have picked up from a local DIY store. [More]

There's something missing from this account.

But what?

Whose Agenda?

“The National Security Council, I think, has served the president well in bringing him multiple options. There were some who tried to operate outside of that process for their own narrow agendas. And that didn’t serve the president well,” McMaster told “Fox News Sunday,” in response to questions about his policy clashes with Bannon. [More]

Yeah, screw Americans who voted for an agenda that impedes the broad globalist one...

California Hate Crime Gun Bill another Incremental Disarmament Tactic

So the disarmament bar moves from felony conviction to misdemeanor to accusation, and you’re supposed to roll over and take it. And if you do put up a squawk, why, that must make you a hater, meaning you need to be disarmed. [More]

The "ideological cleansing" continues.

No Comment

I don't know what happened, but many comments from the past couple weeks have been lost.  I tried to reconstruct what I could from undeleted emails, but I didn't have that many to salvage from.

Blogger has a backup/restore function but you need to go through a theme download that can erase gadgets. I'm out of my depth with that and don't want to go blundering in and make things worse.

I'm sorry if something of your is gone. If it's important to you, all I can offer is posting it again.

Thank you to those who understand no one is more upset by this than I am.

We're the Wannabe Only Ones Draftworthy Enough

A white security officer told police he was shot by a black man. Turns out, he’d shot himself, police say. [More]

Sounds like this boy's ready for the majors.

The cognitive dissonance, it burns.

The Elefante in the Room

Latinos in America are a done deal. Good idea, bad idea, disaster, or doesn’t much matter–it’s still done. [More]

UPDATE NOTE: There is a problem with the link at present. If it persists, here is the cached version.

I mostly like Fred Reed. And as much as I don't want to admit it, he's probably right about illegal immigrants being here to stay, although he's kind of short on probabilities when two disparate cultures try to occupy the same turf. He appears to have the background to grok that.

But while ridiculing motives of amnesty opponents in this and other essays on the topic, reducing it to a cartoon combination of bigotry and South Park "'ey took our jobs!" resentment, I've never seen him address the main motivator, which has nothing to do with the simple prejudices he limits his arguments to lambasting.

There's an elefante in the room I've never seen him acknowledge, let alone address.

Maybe he can be the one to answer my longstanding challenge, because it's a cinch none of the cheap labor Republicans or the NRA want to touch it:

Audit all credible polls against real world experience in places like California and then produce credible data – not opinion, not anecdotes, not isolated examples, but something that can be independently validated – demonstrating that “amnesty” and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals in this country illegally (and legally, with CURRENT culturally suicidal policies) WILL NOT overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners.

Show your sources and methodologies for determining this WILL NOT result in supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will then be able to pass all kinds of anti-gun edicts. Show how this WILL NOT result in nominations and confirmations of judges to the Supreme and federal courts who will uphold those edicts and reverse gains made to date.

What, we need to start to think about assimilation instead? It's a little late for that, but I could add "Show how assimilation will reverse this outcome-- be sure and provide verifiable numbers to show costs and percentages against a timeline, and the likelihood that enough factions can agree on a unified plan to make a bit of difference."

In the absence of any substantive response, the questions become" "Who will be assimilating whom and under what terms?" and what happens when a critical mass will "not go gentle into that good night"?

That terrible probability is why some of us, a handful, strive to warn, futilely, I fear.

But not going gentle means not giving up.

UPDATE:  Comments gone.

I don't know if this is a hack attack or if I accidentally deleted everything with a wrong check mark in a box, which seems a system flaw to allow that much to be lost by a simple keystroke withno "delete" confirmation dialog --I'm going to try to get back in and see if any reconstruction is possible -- in the mean time I'm putting in what I can recover from undeleted email notices under this and a few other posts, but it looks like it may be extensive and going to manyother posts.

My People are Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge

Americans Are Poorly Informed About Basic Constitutional Provisions [More]

And who benefits from that?

In addition to background checks, how about proof of competency?

Let's hear it for...what did GW always call it?... "our democracy"!

Coming Soon to an Estado Near You

California Poised to Become ‘Sanctuary State’ [More]

We're gonna need a bigger wall.

Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Finishing the Work Mr. Reagan Started

And I guess Col. Cooper should have written "Except at exhibit booths"? [More]

A Lapse in Judgment

Das Eiden and several collaborators won an award to study whether violence exposure and substance use raise the odds of gun violence in high-risk adolescents. [More]

I'd like to do a study on whether tax-funded grants to "progressive" academic parasites raise the odds of agenda-"corroborating" bullsh!+...

Well if Paul Vaginas and Thomas Douche are Against It...

Sorry for the typos... [More]

Because Law-Abiding Citizens are Obviously the Cause of New Jersey 'Gun Crime'

Louis Cappelli Jr. is Camden County freeholder director. [More]

Sounds more like freedom holder-upper...

Maybe you shouldn't "prohibit [y]our own citizens," genius.

Opposite Day 'Progressive' Grass Roots in Action

Everytown, gun control group, turns on spigot in Virginia elections with $1 million [More]

And that's just seed money. More to come.

At least they didn't call them a "gun safety group."  I wonder if anyone has caught any grief over that.

Gone But Not Forgotten

[No More]

Gee, I wonder why.

And were they working with anyone?

I know what some are thinking: It says "Airsoft."

Stranger things have happened.

SHARE and Share Alike

Under the successful leadership of Committee Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) and Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock (R-CA), the SHARE Act now moves to the full U.S. House of Representatives. [More]

Somebody wake me when this changes:

I mean, it's not like the Republicans are in charge or anything.
