What Took Him So Long?

Trudeau promises swift action on gun control following Nova Scotia shooting [More]

If expanding on what hasn't worked isn't a "progressive" idea, I don't know what is.

Looks Like a Good Way to Get Malware to Me...

Find david codrea and mike vanderboegh book free download [More]

I know there's no book by us, and if there's a book about us it's news to me and certainly not authorized or the result of any collaboration.

This says the site itself is not suspicious, but just from that description, I'm suspicious as hell, and not inclined to download whatever that "book" is...

Statement of Earnings

Groups this low deserve to be called out loudly, aggressively, passionately.  [More]

Don't get me started on what they deserve.

A Higher Calling

This reasonable reader cannot see how those 70 militiamen, with guns suicidally drawn against a vastly larger force of professional soldiers, were advancing their economic self-interest, suppressing class tensions, claiming land out West, promoting commerce, or defending slavery. [More]

They were there for a much more basic purpose.

Harmful Misinformation

I guess that's whatever he says it is... [More]

You know, stuff like this...

The Quality of Mercy

“I think it’s unconscionable just on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done,” the mayor said during his morning briefing Monday... [More]

Yeah, what do you think they do? Why do you think they had to be locked up like animals in the first damn place, moron?

You oughta see what they'd do to you, your wife and your children if you didn't have taxpayer-funded bodyguards and were dependent on their "mercy," which makes your demands for citizen disarmament all the more hypocritically evil.

Points/Counterpoints

"Sweden’s Chief Epidemiologist: Our Open Approach To Virus Seems To Be Working" [More]

and

‘There’s no direct evidence that the lockdowns are working’ [More]

So what does Fauci know that they don't?

I had a thought today when out for a walk and watching a plumbing truck pass by -- Is anyone keeping track of new case rates for those "essential" workers whose jobs require them to come into contact with different people in their home environments on a daily basis? It would seem they'd be dropping like flies...

UPDATE: Yeah, the experts aren't sorcerers or priests.

What Have We Learned?

First-Time Buyers Explain Why Coronavirus Drove Them to Gun Stores in Record Numbers [More]

We've all read these stories. Now do something new and have them explain how they've voted in the past and if that will affect how they vote in the future.

Rules are for Little People

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally was asked to explain why – despite repeatedly accusing President Trump of "underplaying" the coronavirus threat – she was in San Francisco's crowded Chinatown in late February encouraging people to come join her. [More]

So will Bay Area people issued citations for not following social distancing mandates be able to challenge them on equal protection grounds? 

Is it too late to call the snitch line?

Staying Power?

The virtual closure of national borders from Central America to the United States because of the Chinese Virus might end the migration of Central America’s poverty-stricken hordes to the United States, but only if the controls stay in place long enough to become settled policy. Mass apprehensions at the border have dropped by more than half. Helping, of course, is the knowledge, even among illegal aliens, that one might contract the deadly microbe on the trip north, but the border controls are what counts. The virus will pass. Stopping a return to the status quo ante depends on President Trump’s surviving the social and economic upheaval the Asian pathogen has caused, which means Trump—The Sequel must begin on January 20. [More]

Meaning desperation to execute an agenda makes this a very dangerous time...

Toxic Non-Masculinity

'I crawled in bed and cried': CNN face has meltdown - 'Tears that had been waiting a month to escape' [More]

Whatever.

A Targeted Response

WHO Advisory Committee Member Retweets (Then Deletes) Michael Moore Clip Endorsing Anti-Trump Violence [More]

And never forget that Trump is an avatar.

We're the Only Ones Running Down Enough

Atlanta police supervisor accused of attacking, attempting to run over fellow officer... Police said the off-duty officer tried get Steed out of the car and she resisted, ultimately biting the officer’s hand [More]

I guess that's the difference a trained professional brings to the scene. Bring but an amateur, none of those options would have even occurred to me in this situation.

Of course when "civilians" try bumping their cars into "Only Ones," the results are usually pretty definitive and immediate.

The Hack List

Yes, a gun manufacturer is on a list that includes kidnappers, murderers, and traitors for the crime of making guns... [More]

And they missed an opportunity to portray him as a racist...? The writers must be slipping.

We're the Only Ones Alpha and Omega Enough

“Each of us took an oath to uphold and defend the Michigan Constitution, as well as the US Constitution, and to ensure that your God given rights are not violated,” the sheriffs said. “We believe that we are the last line of defense in protecting your civil liberties.” [More]

Would that you were.  But I can't show certain "unpermitted" guns to any of you, can I?

Guess what: You're typically not the "first responders," either.

Teach Your Children Well

Yet Elizabeth Bartholet, Wasserstein public interest professor of law and faculty director of the Law School’s Child Advocacy Program, sees risks for children—and society—in homeschooling, and recommends a presumptive ban on the practice. Homeschooling, she says, not only violates children’s right to a “meaningful education” and their right to be protected from potential child abuse, but may keep them from contributing positively to a democratic society.” [More]

A ban on parents teaching their children...

Enforceable by men with guns...

It's the only thing those who would force their will on the rest of us understand.

And could there be a more "progressive" laboratory to measure results...?

Food Riots and Looting in 3...2...1...

So why float the idea of closing off grocery stores to foot traffic? That's what CNN and its "experts" are doing. [More]

It's almost like some manipulators are trying to provoke widespread violence.

[Via Michael G]

Plan B?

China owned US pork producer, Smithfield Foods, shut down its operations in South Dakota recently due to the coronavirus. Actions like this lead to many wondering if China is attempting to undermine the US food supply. [More]

So does that mean Plan A didn't work?

Or is all this just my overactive imagination?

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gulag

The key elements of both the Green New Deal and the Lockdown are reduced economic activity to stave off some crisis that is both unsubstantiated and unverifiable. It is the invisible threat that is relied upon to force people into economic devastation, thus relying heavily on government for their lives and when that cannot be accomplished (and they truly don't see the irony of it at all) a certain amount of people will have to die to save the rest. People are not ecologically sustainable in their model. [More]

Think of it as beta testing.

And that can be taken two ways.

From the #BelieveWomen Files...

A Manchester woman has been arrested for filing a false report to law enforcement after she claimed she was drugged during an off-campus fraternity event at the University of New Hampshire. [More]

Next thing you're going to be telling me most "hate crime" reports are hoaxes...

I found a social media account by someone with the same name I won't link to because I can't be sure it's the same person. I bring it up because it had a Women's March Global "Believe Women" post that struck me as ironic.

Funny, how that's so selective, isn't it?
