What's in a Name?

 

[More]

Close, but I'd have gone with something a bit stronger...

Think of It as Ideology Shaming

 A Fordham University student who was kicked off campus for posing with a legally owned firearm won't be allowed back without an escort. [More]

Sapientia et Doctrina my ... eye.

Just the Name 'Christian' Alone Should Disqualify Him

No one will fight harder for the civil rights of black people than Christian Adams will. He will do so, however, from the standard not of racial grievance, but of strict equality before the law.[More]

There's got to be something we can smear him with... Hey, has he ever known any bipolar chicks suitable for planting "recovered memory" suggestions in...?

I May Just Have a Solution Here

In contrast, police departments and unions have vocally defended qualified immunity, saying the protection it affords officers is essential to their ability to react quickly and decisively in life-or-death situations, and that getting rid of it would deter people from choosing a career in law enforcement. [More]

How about in exchange for you keeping it, we, the members of the citizen militia, also get it, including when defending ourselves against those subjecting us to unlawful orders?

And people say I'm never willing to compromise...

Girl Fight!

Rose McGowan calls out Kamala Harris for accepting past donations from Harvey Weinstein [More]

Why, you don't think Willie required the same of her?


Who's Got the Match?

Now several far-right groups, including militias and white supremacists, are planning an answer rally on Aug. 15, and a broad coalition of leftist anti-racist groups are organizing a counter-demonstration. Local authorities, who have been closely monitoring online chatter about the rally, are bracing for possible conflict.[More]

See, those characterizations right there are editorial comments that smear one side and justify the other, not objective reporting. I'd bet based on numbers and percentages the "patriot" side has far fewer haters.

One point for clarification: "Confederate States III%"? I knew a guy once who considered it an idea, not an organization.


Reports of Their Death are Greatly Exaggerated -- For Now

NY Daily News Closing Newsroom But NOT Closing Paper - My source stressed: No layoffs. (There aren’t many left to lay off.) [More]

Gee, that is so too bad.


And Remember to Do It Politely

Second Amendment supporters should contact their Senators and Representatives and politely urge them to oppose HR 3569 and to instead support legislation like the Protecting Communities and Preserving the Second Amendment Act and the Prosecuting Gun Crimes Saves Lives Act. [More]

Yeah, "fix" prior restraint "background checks" that violent criminals won't go through and also go after gun owners who have been found guilty of defying existing gun laws, all while bolstering the illusion that citizen disarmament edicts are effective at what they promise.

What freedom advocate could possibly be against that? 


About That Hero of the Proletariat...

Hey, useful idiots: Karl Marx was a racist and anti-Semite [More]

Rule 4 applies -- not to the destroyers, who observe no rules, but for the yet-persuadable, to see the disconnect.


We're the Only Ones Choosing Sides Enough

Around midnight, Bend Police tweeted that it appeared the federal agents had left the area, adding: "The attendees of the First Amendment event appear to have dispersed peacefully." [More]

Translation: They abetted the mob in interfering with the arrests of two "criminal aliens [who]  each had a history of criminal violent behavior."

Hawaii Folds on American Samoan Gun Ban

 

“Therefore, it is stipulated that [Hawaii Revised Statute’s] citizenship requirement be permanently enjoined as it applies to non-citizen United States nationals,” the order declares. That means Mr. Nickel’s right to apply for and purchase a firearm is now recognized and the state and county/city may no longer refuse him. [More]
With the right attorneys and legal arguments, it is not always necessary to turn to major gun groups to take on cases. Besides, if up to the "enforce existing gun laws" crowd, the plaintiff would have had to eat it and like it.

The Task Ahead

 It is not enough to win an election. [More]

Anyone who thinks it is shares culpability for why we're in this mess.


Just One Question

 Prof: 'The Constitution is racist' [More]

Where is Pol Pot when you really need him?

I Can Live with That

David Hogg has reservations about running for office because he’s white [More]

Not because he's an incompetent child with no life experience except feeding his mania for attention and control?

The telling thing is Democrats would vote for him.

[Via Michael G]


A House Divided?

“If you ain’t from Englewood, get the f–k out of here,” longtime local resident Darryl Smith shouted at protesters during tense confrontations. [More]

So it's not the monolith we're being told?

To channel the Democrat candidate for president, Darryl sounds like he just ain't black. Will he and his neighbors remember come election time?

Hoist with Their Own Petard

 Now attacking a store because it's associated with the wealthy isn't a hate crime under Illinois law. But if it can be proved that a looter attacked a store partly because it was associated with people who are not "Black and Brown" (whether those people were owners, indirect owners, managers, or patrons), that would be a hate crime—just as of course it would be a hate crime to attack a store partly because it was associated with people who were "Black and Brown." [More]

That's a chair and this is a vicious bar fight.

Stupid Women for Defenselessness

Kamala Harris Has a Chance to Enact Major Gun Control Legislation [More]

Yeah, we know. But it's instructive to see the MILMs drooling. 

I knew I'd run into Marie-Claire before.  Figures they're French.

I see they don't believe in comments any more than Defense One does.


Speaking of Domestic Enemies

 At this moment of Constitutional crisis, only two options remain. Under the first, U.S. military forces escort the former president from the White House grounds. Trump’s little green men, so intimidating to lightly armed federal law enforcement agents, step aside and fade away, realizing they would not constitute a good morning’s work for a brigade of the 82nd Airborne. Under the second, the U.S. military remains inert while the Constitution dies. The succession of government is determined by extralegal violence between Trump’s private army and street protesters; Black Lives Matter Plaza becomes Tahrir Square. [More]

Where does the delegated power for option one come from again?

What a pack of paranoid and hysterical mob-inciting lies throughout, the biggest being that he would refuse to abide by a fair election. And these two treasonous apparatchiks want to talk about oaths.

Anybody see a "Comments" section over there?



Armor of God

 BIBLICAL BADASSES: A Raw Look At Christianity And Art [Watch]

Anyone hanging out here knows I don't wear religion on my sleeve and don't present myself as more than someone who struggles with faith and with doubts, but this kind of gives a feel for why my favorite cigar label is on the Ave Maria Ark of the Covenant and I dig St. Michael's attitude.


Enemy at the Gate

Screen shot from video, just as the gate is being opened by lead agitators of the mob of protestors. In this screen shot , the gate is about a foot open, likely no more than a half second after the latch was jimmied. [More]

Add that to the pressure and the evidence tampering, and what's keeping the feds from frog-marching Kim Gardener out of her office and into a courtroom, aside from the fear of more riots?
