Cost Estimates

The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers [More]
Not so fast, say "libertarians" at Cato who deride border enforcement as "silly":
We suggest an easy remedy for this problem – cut immigration enforcement.
You'll note not a one of them has a word to say about the real costs...

Or the effects that will continue to have on this...

UPDATE: Oh look, more costs:
ER Wait, Illegal Aliens, and Units

The Controlled Opposition

With friends like these, who needs Democrats? [More]
Indeed.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Right' Is

While I appreciate the fact that these men are attempting to remove restrictions and regulations to people’s rights, they need to be appealing to the fact that they are not in a position to permit anyone anything regarding their rights nor make a demand to pay the state for a license for the privilege of exercising those rights. [More]
What did Mr. Pynchon say...?

Game of Crones

“She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding,” filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi says about her mother... [More]
Winter is here.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

He said the reason for his suspension was an August Facebook post in which he criticized Bell. [More]
Well, yeah. Commies purge. Everyone knows that.

We're the Only Ones 'Mentoring' Enough

45-year-old Ryan Shomaker of Washington, Missouri has been charged with statutory sodomy with a person less than 14-years-old. [More]
Again with the dating dilemma...

Scofflaw

On January 1, I became a criminal in my hometown of Boulder [More]
He had me up to:
I respect the police, greatly. The cops I know hate the idea of enforcing this intolerance. I ask them when they come to arrest me and confiscate my guns, they give me enough warning, so my kids aren’t around when they do it.
"I was only following orders" does not absolve oath-breakers. Any "Only One" that would do that deserves no respect.

Sic 'em!

Lawsuit Claims SPLC Abetted Theft, Spread Lies to Destroy Lawyer for ‘Thought Crime’ [More]
Good. Haters should not be tolerated.

Flip or Flop

The Times describes how California's famed ballot-harvesters, who flipped places such as Orange County blue by "helping" fill out, turn in, and continue to turn in ballots from otherwise uncommitted voters until they got the result they wanted, aren't actually U.S. citizens.  [More]
Again the focus is on effects, not the cause.

How about if they're not here in the first damn place to flip anything?

We're the Only Ones Showered Enough

Reichberg was said to have showered top law enforcement officials with gifts, expensive dinners, and trips on private jets with prostitutes. [More]
Is it any wonder these people want your guns?

Too Little Too Late

So, will 2A community reach out to the legal immigrant community to properly educate them on their rights in this country and to shape future pro-2A voters, or will the 2A community continue to pander to anti legal immigrant sentiment and drive these future voters into the open arms of the Democrat party. [More]
First, pointing out verifiable observations is not pandering.

By all means, they should have been outreaching all along. But you can't treat causes by trying to treat effects, and the paradigm shift won't be enough to alter outcomes in a major way.

After all, who controls the public education establishment their children will be indoctrinated by as well as the media and means of mass communications to do that? Who controls cultural and entertainment platforms? What is their sentiment toward an armed people, besides blocking, limiting, conflating and banning?

Future Communist Voters and Office Holders of America

As the humanitarian crisis continues along the U.S-Mexico Border, officials with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) say that 22,000 minors “illegally crossed the border” in December. Nearly 25 percent of those were unaccompanied. [More]
I'd say the ones luring the illegals own that "humanitarian crisis" as much as the ones actively exposing children to dangers and hardships you couldn't get away with subjecting an animal to.

UPDATE: Everybody ready for the next wave, emboldened by Democrat "victory"?

Meanwhile, Over at the Tolerant Left...

Michael Savage, facing death threats, heads to secret location [More]
I'll have more to say about this later-- this one leads to some related observations, but right now I'm occupied on another project that could take the rest of the day.

Those Violent Straw Purchasers


The guy's a serial douche. [More]

And it's not her fault. Props for punching back.

A New Day is Upon Us



And the first object is to secure power. [More]

How to Get the Party Started

How can we Win when We can’t even Decide how to Begin? [More]
What was it Mr. Kennedy said...?

Reshaping America to Foreign Ideologies, an Attack on Guns & Freedom


Omar has been able to exploit manipulated demographic changes to obtain political power and thus puts a face on the ideological and cultural transformation that will ultimately prove to be the greatest threat against gun owner rights. Most in the “gun community leadership” ignore that and some even deny  that observation, but none will present verifiable facts to refute it. [More]
Curious that so many "refugees" that have been generously admitted want to make this country more like the places they fled.

The Definition of Insanity

5 years ago KC launched effort to stop homicides. City still ranks among worst in U.S. [More]
Not that anyone besides you will be held accountable for the utter failure...

[Via bondmen]

That's Her Story and She's Sticking To It

Schupp said she filed SB42 with the intention of protecting families from dangerous domestic abuse situations and preventing suicide. [More]
Not that it will do either, but the important thing is to occcupy that ground and then go on to the next assault.

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Provocative Enough

A Missouri police chief whose Twitter account suddenly disappeared on the day he was suspended had been following a handful of sexually provocative accounts, including one for a used underwear resale shop. [More]
So when he refers to skid marks from his hot pursuit he's not talking about a chase...?
