The Art of Lying

It’s alarming how frequently Watts manipulates data to craft a narrative that America is held hostage to a violent gun culture, and how often she and her organization regurgitate the usual debunked Democrat Media Industrial Complex myths, lies, half-truths, and conspiracy theories. [More]
That's because she's a professional wormtongue.

Curious: She hasn't tried to spin her way out of this.

That's probably because no one else is challenging her on it.

A Public Service Announcement for Baltimore Gangbangers


If you get arrested with a firearm on Dec. 17, 19 or 21, just tell them you were bringing it to the "buyback," they didn't tell you how to transport it, you don't know how to safely see if it's unloaded. and they promised no questions asked. [More]

How to Teach a Child to Shoot a Gun (safely & effectively) [More]
It sure beats the "commonsense gun safety advocate" tactic of ignorance and avoidance.

Beating a Dead Magic Pony


Is there anyone more provincial and insulated than Peggy Noonan? [More]

She really can't conceive that it was support for issues, not Beatlemania over the man, that resulted in Trump winning. 

What does she think the results would have been if he'd run on his past and his personality instead of on his platform pledges?

Ghosts of Pauline Kael...

One Side of the Story

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States died by guns last year, marking the highest number of gun deaths in decades, according to a new analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's WONDER database. [More]
And what about the number of defensive gun uses?  Not even a nod that they exist?

Why?

This is CNN

A photo showing Gen. Scott Miller holding a fully loaded assault rifle in Ghazni, Afghanistan, is grabbing headlines. [More]
Why?

And why isn't it a "patrol rifle"?

He Says That Like It's a Good Thing

They could give Trump the $5 billion he is asking for to begin construction of the wall, in exchange for a path to citizenship for the nearly 2 million "dreamers" -- illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children through no fault of their own...Then, when Democrats take the majority next year, they could offer him the remaining $15 billion to $20 billion he needs to finish the wall, in exchange for legal status for the other 11 million people here in the country illegally. The wall could buy legal status for every illegal immigrant living in the shadows -- a longtime Democratic priority. *
And why do you think that is a Democrat priority, Marc Thiessen?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Obstruction of Justice' Is

Mueller's office wiped data on Strzok, Page iPhones [More]
Why is it every time I look at a picture of that broad I wonder if "gumjob" is a real thing?

Come Now, and Let Us Reason Together

Such reasoning is beyond stupid. [More]
That's because reason has nothing to do with it.

Of parallel interest should be the calculations behind the reasoning that welcomes foreign ingrates and subversives.

Face It

The security measures taken for Swift’s event could be considered extreme... [More]
Not as extreme as her taking measures to undermine the one thing the Founders deemed "necessary to the security..."

Black South African politician urges followers to 'kill whites', saying: 'We will kill their children and their women' - Andile Mngxitama says for every one black person killed we will kill five whites - The BLF President even claimed cats and dogs owned by whites should die [More]
So... white racist paranoia...?

About Those 'Russian Bots'...

A Russian robot named ‘Boris’ hailed as hi-tech on state TV has been unmasked as a man in a suit [More]
There's an Opposite Day "progressives" observation in there somewhere...

Speaking of Ridiculous

It’s ridiculous that it’s unconstitutional for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president - Immigrants, young people, and everyone else should be allowed to run. [More]
What can I say but "Vox"?

Embracing the Dark Side

Former Congressman John Dingell, Jr., a partisan Democrat whose immediate family has controlled the same seat in the House of Representatives for 86 years, has some suggestions for fixing Congress.  We should abolish the Senate and the Electoral College because they're undemocratic, "despite the constitutional hurdles of doing so."  [More]
Because if we can't trust a back-stabbing traitor, who can we trust?

It's now pretty clear he meant it as a term of admiration.

We're the Only Ones Broadening Enough

RaShall Brackney, Charlottesville’s chief of police, said she was glad officers might have more ability to limit firearms at public events, but she would like broader authority from the General Assembly for localities to limit guns in public places. [More]
More enforcement power to limit rights? Now there's a "progressive" idea!

Can We All Get Along?

Glover says she wants to persuade former Vice President Joe Biden to pick GOP Sen. Mitt Romney as his Vice President and running mate. The two would run on a one-term unity party ticket with a promise to address the nation’s growing variety of deep problems, and they could pull enough votes from both parties to earn a less-than-5o-percent win in many states, she said.  [More]
Is being delusional a prerequisite  for being a RINO?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Bold Ideas' Is

According to the straw poll, the plurality of members were undecided on whom they will support in 2020 with no front-runner, expressing support for Beto O’Rourke (15.6%), Joe Biden (14.9%), Bernie Sanders (13.1%), Kamala Harris (10%), Elizabeth Warren (6.4%), and others—but more votes were cast for “Don’t Know” than for any candidate. And with small margins, it’s a sign that MoveOn members are waiting to see who can inspire us by articulating an agenda of bold ideas. [More]
No Hillary? No Bloomberg?
