With Trust in Media at New Low, Establishment Tries to Shut Out Alternatives

These are the people claiming the mantle of legitimacy who would monopolize the public discourse and exclude all others. [More]
The "progressives" and neocons really don't like what's going on. This is their pincer strategy attempt to control the narrative. Leave it to liars and fakers to accuse others of lying and faking. Leave it to Stalin's Apologists to accuse "conservatives" of being Putin's useful idiots.

Coming Soon, to a Caliphate Near You

Keep being militantly "tolerant", "progressive" women... [More]

Shelter in Place

[More]
My brother just called. His son is with a group of about 200 other students locked down.

Here's the Google News feed to keep up.

I'll be back with more.

UPDATE: Need you ask?

I guess the deck is stacked against this proven-effective reaction.

UPDATE: Columbus Police Dispatch scanner.

UPDATE: Shelter in place lifted per police dispatch. Hundreds of students out. Still in process of clearing garage. It looks like they were let out before all the cops were ready. Classes cancelled for day.

UPDATE: Relaying information -- police clearing 4th floor of building needed to be advised that others were clearing 5th floor.

UPDATE: Car dispatched -- someone called 911 saying he was going to kill people. 136 W. Woodruff...

UPDATE:
The situation was initially deemed an "active shooting", though there have since been reports that the suspect used a long knife or machete, and the gunshots may have come from police.
UPDATE: And this is what happens when the system is set up to spread hoplophobia:
At least eight people were stabbed, hit by a vehicle or otherwise injured in an attack Monday morning on the Ohio State University campus, and a suspect was shot, school and hospital officials said. Police did not immediately release the suspect's condition and gave no details on a possible motive. Hospital officials said the eight victims had non-life-threatening injuries.
So much for smiley-face blood-dancing wishful thinking opportunism:



And her avatar says "God is Love"! For "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

UPDATE: Who could'a seen this coming?

and:
The dead attacker was believed to be an Ohio State student — a Somali refugee who lived near campus, NBC News reported. It said he was a legal permanent resident of the U.S. 
Well then, there's really only one thing left to say:

Rigorous.

UPDATE: What's in a name?

Sloane Misses

Can She Take Away America’s Guns? Miss Sloane Gives It a Try [More]
Keep rubbing yourself in anticipation, Bloomberg flack. From the opening weekend numbers, it looks like all the press inspired about as many people as showed up for the "No MoreNames" bus tour:


We'll see what happens when they expand the number of theaters in wider release -- although it doesn't exactly scream "heartland."  Maybe it'll be as impressive as Michael Shannon's new flick.

Then again, it could just be that Hollywood elites are in denial about what their customer base just told the world on Nov. 8

C'mon Harvey -- spend the money. How many years are you going to keep your threat "in development."

If It Ducks Like a Quack

The scientific journal JAMA Internal Medicine has published a paper utterly devoid of scientific or public policy merit, fraught with abject error and ignorance, and utterly lacking any arguable purpose other than to deceive gullible readers about the nature and merits of Florida’s Stand-Your-Ground law.

Why not file ethics complaints against everyone involved?

Time was, no one would dare utter such sentiments.

A William Golding quote comes to mind.

Right after the Salish epiphany.

Speaking of Disruptors

We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies. If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over. [More]
That's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, is it not? Does this psychopathic hive insect really believe a defensive response to aggression is some sort of "gotcha"?

"Ex-Workers' Collective"...

So who feeds these tools if they don't work?

Narrowing Down the Choices



I saw this some years back, was just reminded of it over the weekend, and thought now is as good a time as any to resurrect it. Especially in light of the "Authorized Anarchists" showing their true red colors in a recent solidarity with "progressives" manifesto...

Adding a New (for me) Word to the Lexicon

Crybully. [More]

It's perfect. I love it.
