What Better Assurance Could We Have?

The Enemy Within


However, I do think there are some steps we can take that may save some lives. For example, I do not think people under 21 should be allowed to purchase a weapon of any sort. [More]

Well, then you're a goddam fraud who deserves to be repelled just as assuredly as any communist.

Could you please remove the flags? [More]


Sounds like something the Keeper would do...

Vox Populi


America's Anti-Democratic Constitution Explained [More]

Your Tax Dollars at Work


Michigan State University launched a new website for “undocumented students, refugees, and recipients of...DACA,” with a goal to "reduce apprehension." [More]

Michigan State? Funded by whom?

And this differs from a "bullet fee" how...?

I'd think there'd be federal funding implications here that could be called into play if someone really wanted to...

Preemptive Strike

S.C. attorney general files lawsuit against City of Columbia over gun laws [More]
I don't like the idea of anyone claiming authority to infringe, but this is a necessary defensive maneuver.

It's Your Own Damn Fault, Anyway


This bill not only forces you to lock up your self defense firearms, it punishes you even if you DO lock up firearms. While it penalizes gun owners if their firearms are stolen, it does nothing to penalize gun thieves. [More]
Well, if you didn't own guns, this wouldn't be a problem, now, would it?

A Method to His Madness


Simply put, the billionaire mayor gets a lot more for his money as a candidate than he ever could as a donor or even as the operator of a super PAC...Then, there’s something campaigns have that no PAC has — and that’s access to the best rates the market has to offer. [More]
So basically commit "legal" campaign finance fraud...?

We're the Only Ones Rifled Enough


The officer came out in the morning and found the back window had been smashed in an Explorer SUV. He looked in the vehicle, found a lot of stuff was missing, including a patrol rifle and shotgun,” the chief said. [More]

"Patrol rifle"?

So it didn't become a "weapon of war" suitable only for killing as many people as possible until after the "Only One" left it inadequately secured?

When Tactics Work


Panic About Peaceful Protest Reveals Gun Controllers' Bigotry [More]

You know where the real bigotry is coming from, don't you Mr. Sullum?

Follow the Money


Feds charge Philly City Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson with using his office to enrich himself and his wife [More]

Now who's going to fight "gun violence"...?

We're the Only Ones Off the Cuff Enough


Cpl Owen then entered the patrol car and sat next to Green. A short time later, Green, who had his hands behind his back, was shot seven times for reasons that were still being investigated, according to police. [More]
I don't see how any of us who have never had occasion to shoot a bound and confined man are in any position to second-guess him.

The Politics of Personal Destruction


Matt Shea is not a man the regressive left can allow to roam the earth. [More]

You know who's not divided?

We're the Only Ones Cheating Enough


32 new Georgia State Troopers fired, 1 resigned after allegedly cheating on exams [More]

So basically there were no good apples and the barrel was fresh? These are the people we're hiring to shoot our dogs?

Kind'a makes you wonder how seriously they would have taken their oaths...

China Syndrome

Acclaimed Harvard chemist and nanoscientist, Dr. Charles Lieber, had served as a “strategic scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology for the past nine years and is accused of lying about his role as a “contractual participant” of China’s infamous Thousand Talents Plan. Last fall, after years of intel warnings, a bipartisan Senate committee blew the whistle on TTP’s systematic recruitment of an estimated 7,000 academics who have agreed to “transmit the knowledge and research they gain here to China in exchange for salaries, research funding, lab space, and other incentives.” Lieber reportedly received $50,000 a month plus living expenses and more than $1.5 million for a Chinese research lab, all while soaking up $15 million in federal grants from the National Institutes of Health and Defense Department. [More]
Meh. Small change.

Americans in Name Only


Three senators – Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, and Mitt Romney of Utah – are rumored to be willing for witnesses to be called in the impeachment trial now underway in the Senate. [More]

This is just a stop along the way to where "lesser of two evils" voting will ultimately take us. Had examples been made of betrayers 30 years ago, and then consistently applied, the lesson would have been learned by the GOP.

I just got a solicitation from the Republicans asking for money-- which they will distribute based on considerations very different from my priorities. If you do donate, do it for individual candidates who have earned it-- giving it to the party means unavoidably giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The Gospel of Trayvon


“The Gospel of Trayvon” is the fiction into which black Americans have been indoctrinated for almost eight years. [More]
A-yup.

Not to worry-- Mary Sanchez, an "Authorized Journalists" with real reach, tells us the "documentarian, also questionable ... is pimping a new book and a movie..."

Hey, why come up with documented facts when you can just smear and get paid for it?
