Document of the Day

After the murders in Sutherland Springs, Texas by the former airman, the only record you could find about his court martial was a two page summary... [More]
Thanks John. Nice to see someone noticed.

Lord knows "professional media" won't.

An Explosive Climax

Henrico man charged with murder of girlfriend said she asked him to pull trigger during sexual encounter [More]
I can't begin to tell you how many women I've done the same thing to when I was 33 and living at my parents' house (which is a surefire attractant for quality partners, by the way).

Speaking of which, everybody see this? It sure sounds like nobody strapped 'em on when it would have made a difference and that this is a monster of their own making.

A Lively Debate

Dr. Lively Defends 2nd Amendment in Far Left Gun Control Debate [More]
Yeah, well, you're going to have to flesh out how you intend to ensure full due process protections on those "extreme risk protection orders" you say you favor, and why you think a piece of paper saying "No guns" will work.

At Sixes and Sevens

On May 21, the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee passed 6 of the 7 anti-gun bills it was considering, and “held” the 7th bill, ostensibly to allow additional time for amendments that were not ready at the hearing.  [More]
Designed to make it even more of an Intolerable Act, I presume?

Deal with the Devil

The president’s legal advisers have been working with California’s two Democratic senators, Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, to vet potential nominees. [More]
So we can look forward to more of this?

Speaking of which, I like how one guy accused me of "eating our own" and another of not understanding contracts...

Word for Word

Marquette begs students not to use 'the i-word' for illegals [More]
Deal.

"Invaders" is more accurate.

A 'Progressive' Idea

Can Americans ditch guns the way we ditched cigarettes? [More]
Like a typical Opposite Day "progressive," Petula's bright "new" idea is wholly unoriginal and she fails to credit the person she stole it from. (I thought WaPo has learned its lesson on that.)

As for the success of the effort, anybody have a handle on how effective those warnings have been? Or more to the point, on why smuggling (especially into "progressive" jurisdictions) still pays big bucks in spite of costs and risks?

A Sign of the Times

The opioid’s potency has transformed the global trafficking — and policing — of narcotics. [More]
Mr. Adams' "wholly inadequate" observation comes to mind.

People of purpose and hope have better things to do. That "our society" produces so many unfit to live responsibly and freely makes a "readjustment" inevitable.

Why are so many without purpose and hope?

Put another way, who benefits?

Can We All Get Along?

I attempted to cordially introduce myself, but they unjustifiably responded with, “We don’t shake hands or talk with Nazi sympathizers.” I thought to myself, “What?! Who in the world do you think we are? We don’t stand for such beliefs, nor do we ‘sympathize’ with them.” [More]
But you still don't get it, do you, Craig?

There can be no "middle resolution" with totalitarians unless it's you in the middle of a ditch.

It Would Be Cheaper to Build a Wall

Arizona Is Planning For Exodus to State in Event of Major Calif. Quake [More]
Just what a Red State needs. Are they planning on rerouting the ones who don't belong here, or would that be "illegal"?

Give the Public What It Wants

Guns On The Playbill? Every Major Studio Has Them This Season [More]
Hollywood hypocrites?  Say it ain't so!

The congitive dissonance among the ticket-buyers shows how far the culture has degraded.  Some day I hope to resurrect my old "The Fandom Menace" piece from Guns & Ammo.

Having It Both Ways

The NRA Versus the Constitution - Its top priority, ‘concealed carry reciprocity,’ would violate states’ rights and cannot pass legal muster. [More]
So what other rights are they free to ignore? And how come they never squawk about federal bans?

Elevating Us All

Defense attorneys declined to comment, but they wrote in their motions that a neuropsychologist who evaluated Torres, 23, of Sterling, found he had significant cognitive limitations, poor memory and severely impaired judgment. He is also functionally illiterate... [More]
And welcoming such people into the country helps "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" how, again...?

She Asked for It

The migrant, who had downloaded pornographic films from websites Cabfake.com and BogusTaxi.com just days before the attack, told police investigators the victim’s skirt was “too short”. [More]
And the guy was already in the database, yet still allowed to remain not only in country, but free to assault new victims to boot? It's revealing, how an Opposite Day  "progressive" system ostensibly supportive of women enables their attackers.

The Self-Incriminator 3000

LocationSmart Demo Tool Leaks Real-Time Location of Everyone in the U.S. [More]
Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong,what's the problem?

Besides, they'll know if you are.

Say, gang, I've got a swell idea!

On the Fly

Ciccolo’s mother, Shelley MacInnes, told New England Public Radio last year that her son is ‘‘very compassionate’’ and ‘‘would not hurt a fly.’’ He converted to Islam a few years ago, MacInnes said. [More]
Where have we heard that before?

Enabling mothers are responsible for much of this country's misery. Props to the dad for being strong enough to do the right and painful thing.

Putting the Quislings On Notice

Hello, I am an active voter, and I vote on gun rights. I am calling to insist that the Senate pass HB 746 this session, or I will be sitting home in November. Thank you.  [More]
Add "and cleaning my guns" and I'm right there with you.

More gun owners need to do this and mean it.

Built to Last

Army Finds 94-Year-Old .50-Caliber M2, Never Serviced, Still Works Great [More]
Which is why you hear more and more talk about confiscation.

After All, Turnabout IS Fair Play...

Sociology prof convicted for smearing fake blood on NRA lobbyist’s home [More]
I doubt the $500 fine will pay for clean-up, let alone costs to investigate, process and prosecute.  And she still "plans to appeal"?

On the plus side, that TRO makes her a prohibited progressive, and we can't have too many of those.

She should watch it, because it only takes a minute or two to find out where the sentiment could be returned.

Not much on lawn care, are ya, sweetie?

Smile When You Say That


Talk about bullying... [More] 

"Progressives" with "authority" always are, which is why the cowards don't want anyone capable of fighting back and knocking them on their asses. And it's why when they run schools (and they do almost all of them) a kid defending himself gets punished along with the aggressor.
