We're the Only Ones Blubbering Enough

“Sir, I am begging you, please don’t send me to jail,” Arbeeny said. It worked. [More]
Think this oinker would have listened to that from a collar...?

And despite it all, his legal strategy is still blaming "arrest quotas" instead of himself. No wonder the kid is messed up.

Wonder how much Judge Reichbach cost.

Larger Point Being Intentionally Missed in Ginned-Up Kentucky Gun Rally Hysteria


What this does more than anything is expose a larger point, the evil fallacy of “gun-free zones.” After all, if Americans can't be trusted in the Capitol, or a campus, store, church or school while armed, we can't be trusted with firearms anywhere. Right? [More]
Sometimes, revealing just who they’re trying to disarm by fraud and force is not only appropriate, it’s overdue.

It's Not Easy Being Green

Don't "her people" have some kind of saying about forked tongues?

The terrorist shot dead by police after stabbing two people in Streatham on Sunday was automatically released from prison just a few days ago, after serving less than half of a three year-plus sentence for 13 terror offences.  [More]
Be candid, Tommy Lee.

Si al Principio no Tienes Éxito

" 'They come for revenge', added activist Luis Garcia Villagran, who said that many of those deported in the first caravan of 2020 return to the border with every intention of confronting the National Guard... " [More]
Then I guess the Guard will be justified to adjust their rules of engagement accordingly.

Déjà Vu All Over Again

Officers said the person who died in the shooting is a 51-year-old woman from Colombia. [More]
Weird. I just got done posting a story where this one has three things in common:

Laws were broken.

Rules were broken.

And those reporting were being coy with perp identifying details.

Four things, actually:

Against the Rules, Eh?

Three people were killed and two others wounded in a shooting in an apartment rented on Airbnb in Toronto, police said Saturday. [More]
Toronto?

Airbnb?

I wonder why AFP is being so coy about identifying all the players...

Ye Shall Know Them By Their Halftime Show

I hate to disappoint but Shakira’s tongue expression is called zaghrouta, a way to express joy in Arab culture. [More]
Not quite.

What do you suppose anyone who "expresses joy" that way would do about the way this overprivileged bint is dressed?

Bigotry is Founded in Ignorance

He said, “If it’s 30 bullets or 20 bullets or 10 bullets before you run out, I would suggest God wants that deer to live.” [More
How does God feel about tyrants?

We're the Only Ones Infringing Enough

Florida Carry, Inc. has put Florida’s top cops on notice: Stop violating the rights of law abiding gun owners or you will get sued. [More]
Might want to give them some personal incentive...

Hell Hath No Fury

Or say a woman is married to a police officer. She files for divorce, claiming that he had abused her, and then finds evidence that the husband had gotten his coworkers not to investigate the abuse. She can't then write to the police chief or the mayor to complain, since that too would presumably involve "disparaging remarks" said to the husband's employer. Indeed, she might be violating the law simply by filing a complaint with the police about her husband's supposed abuse. [More]
It wouldn't be fair to make this an "Only Ones" post since technically the law could apply to anyone. That said, divorcing couple say all kinds of sh!+ about each other to gain an advantage or to hurt, and an "at-will" employer may just not want the added turmoil.

I'm not trying to make excuses for this, but I'm wondering how many who have been libeled or slandered have the wherewithal to get justice, or at least stop the damage from a vengeful ex.

They Should Have Done a Super Bowl Ad with This Guy

Former NFL Star Burgess Owens Recounts His Family Learning About Guns From the NRA After Becoming Freed Slaves [More]
Sounds like a good candidate to check into.

He could use some beefing up here.

Why Start Now?

...the firearms and ammunition industry would urge the state attorneys general to read the rules and get their facts straight. [More]
The problem, of course, is there's no "or else" if they don't.

Just a Question of 'Where?'


Super Bowl argument at family barbecue leads to man's shooting death - "Preliminary info is that they were rooting for different teams," said police. [More]

Every Right to Lie

Of course, Bloomberg has every right to spend his money to spread his views and advocate his anti-gun message. [More]
I question that-- not if others have been rejected, and not if he's going to get candidate ad rates as opposed to what a gun PAC would be charged.

So Much for the Ballot Box...

From Dave Licht via email:
Have you heard about or seen the california primary ballot? It’s AMAZING!!!! Absolutely Zero reason for a conservative to vote. They orchestrated a completely rigged game. Constitution is DEAD in crapifornia
Take your pick.

And we may not "owe" it all to The Great Communicator, but he sure owns his portion.

And here are the current Numbers USA grades for the surviving handful of Republican House incumbents:


Only Tom McClintock is a champion. As I expected he would be.

How much more evidence do we need to see?
