Notes from the Resistance...
Those calling for such a return want NRA out of politics and focused on being Fudds. They really just want to be able to pass disarmament edicts, elect gun-grabbing politicians and appoint anti-gun judges without any significant organized opposition. Curiously, although unintended by those offering such “advice,” returning to its roots is exactly what is needed. [More]The real roots involved training American citizens to become proficient in keeping and bearing “weapons of war.”
Option 1. A majority of the Board circles the wagons in defense of Wayne LaPierre and his pals and tries to weather the storm. (They’ll fail, and the whole ship will sink.)
or
Option 2. A majority of the Board fires LaPierre and other executives (or accepts their resignations) and nullifies their contracts, suspends all vendor contracts pending thorough review and renegotiation, and purges culpable members of their own body – demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding NRA assets on behalf of the membership. (Plugging the holes and possibly saving the ship.) [More]While my vote would be for #2, my money would be on #1.
NRA’s Wayne LaPierre Says He Is Being Extorted, Pressured to Resign - Group’s longtime leader says Oliver North, president of the NRA, wants him outNorth is a creature of Ack-Mac, so I'm not looking at this as a development where the prime concern is serving the right to keep and bear arms.
Taking the stage later Saturday, LaPierre got two standing ovations from the crowd of more than 1,000 NRA members...I just hope Patrick didn't hurt his hands.
“You know what? I didn’t even know what a bump stock was,” said Patrick Callahan, 61, from Wyoming. “I have no problem with a bump stock being banned, to be honest with you. I think there’s always balances.” [More]Even most NRA members think it's about bump stocks and remain oblivious to the greater danger.
The original mission was to train warriors to effectively shoot in a war. [More]Yes. Exactly. Perfect rebuttal.
If the catastrophic fire at Notre-Dame de Paris was a simple accident, why has the French government forbidden state-employed architects to give any further interviews about the fire? [More]Next, you're gonna be telling me we haven't been told everything about Las Vegas.
The universe is expanding faster than we thought, and no one knows why [More]The first thing that came to mind was the line "'T is clear enough the Elephant Is very like a tree!"
The Supreme Court of Sweden has ruled that a rape conviction is not a sufficient reason to deport a non-Swedish citizen... [More]I've been working Tommy Lee pretty hard lately.
Boone is the 11th South Carolina sheriff indicted or accused of criminal activity in the past decade. The accusations have included using inmates for personal work, running a scheme to create fake police reports to help fix credit problems and protecting drug dealers. [More]
Former officer gets 25 years in shooting death of stranded motorist [More]Hey, he was just being active...
Oyer referenced President Donald Trump multiple times, comparing her client's racial slurs and targeting of Democrats and the media to similar views that the President has taken ... "Donald Trump uses similar epithets in his everyday language and tweets," Oyer said. [More]And by default, if you agree with the agenda he campaigned on, she's talking about you.

| Well according to this, Frank, he was a model prisoner. |
Bishop argued to the parole board that his client was a "model inmate" and posed no threat to anyone in the community. [More]Yeah, all the time he was under 24/7 custodial care he didn't shoot anybody.
Reed, who lost a nephew to city gun violence, said it's time to try something new and that this is a program proven to work. [More]Information on who the nephew was and what he was doing does not seem readily available in the reports I've seen that repeat this claim.
International thieves from Chile are suspected of committing hundreds of burglaries across Southern California after obtaining visa waivers to enter the United States, authorities said. [More]Based on what the politicians Californians elect encourage and discourage, I'm with Tommy Lee on this one.
“Actions are better than reactions,” Noor continued. “If you are reacting, it's too late to protect yourself." [More]Sweet. You could use that "justification" to kill just about anybody.

Mueller report contains claim Russia taped Bill Clinton having phone sex with Monica Lewinsky [More]Whoever has that tape could make a fortune if they set up a site where they charged people to hear it. I'd want to play it fast so it sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks. And post it to Hillary's Twitter feed.
A Massachusetts District Court Judge and Trial Court Officer were indicted today in federal court in Boston on obstruction of justice charges for preventing an ICE Officer from taking custody of an alien defendant. [More]Democrats, naturally. Throw the book at them. Put them in prison.
Trinity College professor tweets ‘whiteness is terrorism,’ refers to Barack and Michelle Obama as ‘white kneegrows’ [More]And:
At the time, Berger-Sweeney said she supported Williams’ right to express his views, but found his words personally offensive.Everyone who thinks she'd take that official position had a white professor made comparable comments raise your hand.
