Mote, Meet Beam

Baltimore County executive proposes new gun shop security rules to prevent stolen firearms [More]

Because if you can't trust Baltimore government to get things done right, who can you trust?

We Could Tell You But Then We'd Have to Kill You

Gun Owners of America has obtained the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF] Industry Operations Manual used by Industry Operations Inspectors (IOI). The gun-rights group received a copy of the document after submitting multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request the federal law enforcement agency. This copy is the first time since the 1990s that the manual has been made public. [More]

And the question there for our supposed "pro-gun president" is "Why?"

Send These, the Homeless, Tempest-Tossed, to Me

Northam tells Trump administration Virginia will accept more refugees [More]

Of course, the Democrats will.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."  Right, Saviors?

We're the Only Ones Pen-Palling Enough

Convicted GTTF Detective Writes Letter From Prison, Says He Has Information About Det. Suiter’s Death [More]

Bloomberg’s Moms Demand Action Email List Rental Appears to Violate Privacy Terms

Anybody see anything in there about information being turned over to a third party for political campaign purposes? [More]

It'd be a shame if somebody encouraged Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders supporters to complain to the Moms, or better yet, to the FEC...

J'Accuse...!

Suddenly, prosecutorial power and authority are now virtues? When they’re your prosecutors, absolutely. [More]

Hey, if you can't trust Torquemada, who can you trust?

That Voodoo that You Do So Well

Silva] Koshwal faces an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 10 to 25 years for stabbing his former girlfriend Nadine Skow more than 100 times, then removing some of her organs. [More] 

But we know for sure it'll be safe to let him out?

I'm asking for the neighbors.

Valley Plaza Mall Shooting in Bakersfield [More]

So how many "commonsense gun safety laws" were broken this time?

A Bottomless Well

Rep. Tom Sullivan, a Democrat from Centennial, has a long list of gun reforms he hopes to see become law. [More] 

Disregard for a moment that murders in a "gun-free zone" by a maniac who ignored "gun laws" is what drew Tom into his obsession for taking it out on everybody else.

That's What It's All About

Here’s how they plan to tackle violent crime. First, they want new gun laws passed to keep weapons out of the hands of juveniles; second, more money for community mental health patients who don’t necessarily need an emergency room or jail; and third, money for witness protection. [More]

In other words, since they already have the first one, they want more money.

Just Part of the Equation

Obama and his Department of Education ignored the real-life experiences of teachers and school administrators who knew that keeping a student who should be expelled or at least suspended from school for extremely outrageous behavior was not a novel concept, but a dangerous one. [More]

True, but you can't just kick the can down the road, either.

So Much for Freedom of Association

St. Louis city leaders are considering a proposal that would remove criminal history questions from initial job applications in the private sector. [More]

Coming from someone with zero experience working in a for-profit business, but then again, that's not what this is about...

Reparations First, Disarmament Later

She wrote that “guns are an expression of hate,” and encouraged people to put them down to prevent them from being used as an excuse to be killed ... "If extreme gun control comes into play before the Black community changes its relationship to guns, it will give law enforcement free rein to murder any Black person they even think has a gun regardless of behavior.” [More]

But the rest of you, go ahead and disarm.

A Chicago Democrat

Chicago Police have arrested Illinois State Rep. Curtis Tarver II after finding a gun in his car they say he was not licensed to carry. [More]

Clerical errors, you see.

Who does this guy think he is? Richard Mell?

Kind'a makes you wonder if a lawyer/legislator can get tripped up in them, what chance does his average constituent have?

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

UPDATE: Bear calls BS on "clerical errors."

How to Divvy Up this Pie...

Corporate Executives Try to Assess Potential Impact of Tax Change Proposals [More]

I guess that depends on who wins and what that takes.

Oh, wait, I see -- this article assumes an enforceable, self-empowering global taxing authority for strategic property and resource redistribution as a permanent given, with just a few details to work out...

Never Attribute to Stupidity that Which is Adequately Explained by Corruption

Does it sound like time to start getting rid of Democrats running the House, hellbent on impeachment even as the country gets engulfed? Republicans would be idiots not to use this evidence of an emerging crisis from our south, before it really gets out of control. [More]

Not idiots. Whores.

Duress Code

I was too livid to express it at the moment, but when I did convey this misunderstanding to the HR rep later, her response was, “That’s not your decision to make.” [More]

So anything goes unless it melts snowflakes. Got it.

I'm recalling the instruction on "decluttering" from Robert Townsend's near-forgotten classic, where he talks about eliminating the personnel department. Having spent decades in my past life in heavily regulated corporate environments, I've pretty much seen the trends that led to where we are today before things wholly metastasized. I am so glad I'm out.

Obviously, rounded tips will be a big part of the longterm solution. No?
