My People are Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge

Poll: Majority can’t name a single Supreme Court justice [More]

But I'll bet they all have strong "legal" opinions.

‘Progressive’ Praise for McCain Shows Limits of ‘Acceptable’ Conservatism

If that’s what they'd say about a man many of us considered unacceptably “moderate,” what must they want followers to think about those of us that are more hard line and less willing to cede any ground? [More]

There's a reason why they're saying nice things now.

The Unendorsed

A week after Election Day, Governor Jeff Colyer officially conceded to Secretary of State Kris Kobach after provisional ballot results in the more populous counties showed Kobach’s narrow lead growing. [More]

Despite the Lairds of Fairfax trying to torpedo the guy.

After their pick had sold their members out.

And right alongside the anti-gun Kansas City Star...

Don't Protect It, Either

"DON'T INSPIRE EVIL" CAMPAIGN GAINS TRACTION - Mass Media Promo of Mass Murderers Questioned - JPFO spearheads effort to stop glorifying killers and copycats [More]

The key word is "gratuitous," but in any case, that horse is already outside the barn. By NOT identifying the mutant, we're left dependent on what "officials" and their approved media megaphones tell us, cutting off independents from doing their own fact checks.

I shouldn't need to tell readers here what that means.

If anything, I'd like to see their social media sites and everything about them left up so we can see for ourselves the mindset they had and from what ideologies they sprang.

We're the Only Ones Diverted Enough

A former Sedgwick County sheriff’s deputy who was charged with official misconduct has entered a diversion agreement where he will pay $353 and perform community service. In his agreement, Justin Price admitted that he destroyed evidence three or four times to ensure the outcome he promised to suspects of crimes. [More]

I mean, come on -- he was only charged with a misdemeanor so the wrist slap and expungement are appropriate. It's not like he ought to be doing time for multiple felonies or anything...

Besides, who wouldn't make a deal if a woman we had power over with "a glow-in-the-dark tingler ring sex toy" was "cooperative"?

We're the Only Ones Inscribing Enough

Simmons alleges Drum took him to a nearby jail, where Drum allegedly forced Simmons to strip and touched him inappropriately with a pen. [More]

University Allows Concealed Carry, Professor Immediately Cancels Officer Hours. [More]

I don't suppose encountering people also carrying off-campus has occurred to this genius?

The Will of la Gente

280,000 people are illegally registered to vote in Texas, according to the DPS database. Just over 4 million of the registered voters – or 30% of registered voters – DO NOT match up to the DPS database! Again, roughly 30% of all registered voters in Texas cannot be matched in DPS’s database! Just let that sink in! [More]

Anybody have any corroborating details? Because if we rely on Google's "News" feed, the problem doesn't exist.

Hate Speech

I believe that the unfettered ownership of private property and the right to own and use firearms, including for self-defence, are the God-given rights of free people everywhere. And I believe, as the American revolutionaries did, that government is usually the problem not the solution and that, in order for people to be, Free, the power of government needs to be constrained. [More]

Damn. Read the whole thing. He also thinks "immigration" ought to serve the interests of his country instead of destroying it.

What a racist.

Two Sets of Standards

Official Twitter Ruling: Saying That Dana Loesch's Children Must be Murdered to "Make Her Understand" Does Not Violate Twitter's Rules [More]

The only way these useful idiots and apparatchiks will learn is if it affects them directly.

More on the Moron

Jacksonville shooting suspect underwent psychiatric treatment, purchased guns legally in Baltimore area [More]

Seems like there's an applicable and inviolable law in here somewhere...

I haven't seen any retractions, so I'm assuming this is true. If that's the case, I'd love to learn more about his parents' political sympathies.

Well That's a Relief

Though the Brady Center to Combat Gun Violence, a group known for its support for gun control, is backing the campaign, the campaign itself does not appear to push a legislative agenda in its ad or on its official website, which should come as a relief to gun owners and Second Amendment supporters. [More]

Of course it pushes an agenda. And a "pro-gun" site is helping them "legitimize" their claim of being "commonsense gun safety advocates" with that kind of characterization.

They really don't know what the billionaire-funded Astroturfers continuously use "PSAs" for, and how fake they are? They don't see the talking points and the manipulation? They don't know that "kids" include gangbangers that are tried as adults? They don't instantly recognize the goal here? Really?

You don't invite a vampire to cross the threshold. The people behind the "campaign" want you disarmed. By force. They have since Day One.

And once you are, they'll want more and there won't be a goddamn thing you can do about it.

They are the enemy.

They Must Be Joking

But this being a movie project that will veer off-center from the traditional Batman canon, sources say the script paints Thomas Wayne as a cheesy and tanned businessman who is more in the mold of a 1980s Donald Trump. [More]

"Starring" Alec Baldwin and Robert De Niro...?

I'm imagining an investor meeting where a project requiring over a hundred million dollars that's guaranteed to alienate most people in the red part of the map is pitched.  Add the fact that they'll be ginning up the hate in "gun free zones" with near-identical stimuli that have already worked once and thanks, but no.

Infantocracy

A Third Of Teens Haven’t Read A Single Book In Past Year - Stunning research shows just 2% of sophomores read daily newspaper — compared to third of same-aged teens in 1990s [More]

What, you mean the demographic that demands the power to define our rights and tell us what to do?

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions

When should the media report on murders by refugees? [More]

Uh...when they happen?

Find one excuse being given that's not pure, agenda-covering horsecrap. Here's the motivator:

ARD is publicly financed and therefore free to cover the news without fear that low ratings will drive it into bankruptcy.

If you're a government-dependent mouthpiece, it's not free and it's not news.

The First Thing You'll Learn is How to Slide Down the Pole

I was sexually assaulted by FDNY firefighters on my first day [More]

I'm sure such aggression is much more prevalent in the MEC (Media Exalted Class) than we've been led to believe, but don't look for an extension of the #MeToo movement any time soon.  After all, if the City is arguing this was just "a funny way to break the ice," who am I to doubt?

Besides, just ask George Takei how much credence is given to accusers.

Reported ‘Gun Hypocrite’ Brock Advancing Soros Media Suppression Plot

The totalitarian lobby demands controlling far more than just our guns. [More]

Don't think of it as guarding against "fake news," Think of it as ideological cleansing.

Besides, You Don't Need a 3D Printed Gun to Hunt Deer

Judge allows temporary ban on 3D-printed gun files to continue [More]

As I read this, it's because the government screwed up so the people must be punished...

Much Ado About Smearing

Michael Cohen's lawyer backs off claim that Trump knew of Russian interference [More]

Sure Emily, go ahead:

Besides, it doesn't matter, because tell me Clinton apparatchik Lanny Davis didn't know that once the allegations were out there, they became repeatable "truths" for millions suffering the brain-crippling effects of TDS.

It sounds like grounds for an exploratory bar complaint to me.
