That Explains Everything

The wrongdoing that he was accused of in the criminal case took place while he held that job and was chairman of the Missouri Democratic Party. [More]
So while pretending to be a champion of the people, he was really in it for himself, not to mention to cheat on taxes.

'Gun Violence' Averted Thanks to 'Gun Laws'!

Spain had previously been imprisoned for a number of different crimes. He served time for stabbing someone with a sword and was most recently imprisoned for abducting a 15-year-old girl in an attempt to rape her. While in prison for the kidnapping, he became radicalized. The DOJ said Spain "swore a pledge of loyalty, commonly known as bayat, to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS." He even went so far as to have the ISIS flag tattooed on his back. DOJ said he "repeatedly expressed a desire to engage in acts of violence" before being released from prison. [More]

‘Sadistic Guard’ Story Hints at Why Rights Enforcement Has Never Been More Needed


In some departments, corruption and/or complicit silence about it is so widespread as to make the “few bad apples” disclaimer suspect. And with such as these, who thinks state-sanctioned terror squads on U.S. soil are a now-and-forever impossibility? [More]
"Supreme Law of the Land" enforcement demands a rights enforcement priority.

What Am I Waiting For?



Aside from cabin confirmation for the Wakanda cruise, one of the things I'm waiting for is streaming, assuming I watch it at all.  Cinemark's reported "Gun Free Zone" policy and the stirring of racial resentments the media is egging on, combined with expected record opening weekend box office numbers, has me thinking my safest personal choice is to sit this one out.

It seems like an enhanced probability for escalating disputes, for lone losers and for false flags, any of which could result in unintended (or intended) fallout for both RKBA and for the communal theater business model.

If something bad goes down, it will be important to remember that the "something must be done!" faction will offer no specifics that could have made a bit of difference. And no, of course this is not a backtracking on support for an armed society-- it's simply the recognition that this society has allowed itself to degrade to the point where people who can't be trusted without a custodian mingle and prey with ease on those who can. Disregaridng due process and imposing prior restraints will do nothing but further enable that.

Betomania

Politicians get away with anti-gun crap like this because there's nobody in the audience with the knowledge to stand up and call them out point by point. [Watch]

The question is: Why not?

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter

“It strikes us as odd that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia investigation.  In addition, despite your claim that President Obama repeatedly told Mr. Comey to proceed ‘by the book,’ substantial questions have arisen about whether officials at the FBI, as well as at the Justice Department and the State Department, actually did proceed ‘by the book.’” [More]
Yeah.

"Odd."
