Gun Bill on CSPAN Now



We're the Only Ones Recognized Enough

A Bold Statement


Jeez, Boston 25 News, editorialize much? [More]

And do the useful idiots at St. Susanna's have any idea how much gun-grabbing "progressives' hate everything else they stand for?

If someone took advantage of their advertised "No Guns" policy, I wonder what Father Stephen Josoma would be able to do to protect his "flock."

Heresy on Top of Everything Else!

In a statement before the calls for his resignation started, Franken denied the latest accusation against him. [More]
I thought the mandate was that all women must be believed...

Say, you don't think who's being accused has anything to do with that, do you...?

Anthology Day


[More]
Didn't forget, did'ja?

Ask a Silly Question

Student Op-Ed Asks Just Why Can’t He Carry A Gun On Campus [More]
Because Larry Hincker says prohibiting it is "a very sound policy."

Much Ado About ... What, Exactly?

As recently as yesterday, Senator Chris Murphy said that such a combined bill would be dead on arrival in the Senate. [More]
Dang, this Vulcan chess makes my head hurt.

The Competition Intensifies

U.S. LawShield Launches in Six New States [More]
Hope you guys don't have any plans to go to the Annual Meeting...

Kristen Demands Crucifixions?

“It’s an example of an industry that can essentially do whatever they want and there’s no consequences other than being held accountable in a civil liability context,” said Kristen Rand, legislative director of the Violence Policy Center in Washington D.C. [More]
What other accountability should there be? Besides, if criminal activity related to this can be proven, there's no immunity.

So much for the lie that gun makers are immune to lawsuits. But those spreading that lie know it.

Sauce for the Goose

Top Clinton Aides Face No Charges After Making False Statements To FBI [More]
Right. If this were about anything besides a coup, that would matter.

Another Application for the Truism

The airport of the future will have extremely complicated lines - More types of vetting means more types of passenger [More]
The same criteria applies for people who can't be trusted on an airplane.

Capitulation Rejected

In fact, two of the most dedicated protesters — Eric Reid of the San Francisco 49ers and Michael Thomas of the Miami Dolphins — have vowed to keep kneeling and described the deal as inadequate. [More]
What? You mean throwing a scrap of flesh to a circling pack of jackals doesn't work?  Quick -- somebody tell NRA and the Republicans!

I wonder if anyone has assessed what a reverse strategy of firing and replacing the malcontents might yield. I mean, it's not like they're air traffic controllers or anything...

Close Enough for Government Work

Pentagon Failed to Share Criminal Data with FBI for Decades: IG [More]
That's OK -- the standing army top brass responsible for overseeing that have a solution to "gun violence."

[Via Jess]

We're the Only Ones Optional Enough

Crawford sheriff says man given 'options' before cutting dog's head off [More]
Yeah -- do what we say or we'll take you hostage. And if you resist, we'll kill you.

[Via Jess]

Hey, If You Haven't Done Anything Wrong...

A criminal justice system that operates in the dark is arbitrary, unjust and criminal. [More]
How do we know?

Ohhh...

A Liberal Voice

“I’m smart enough to know to give them what they want.” [More]
Even if what they want is you?

Report: ATF Order to Seize 4,000 Guns Incites Calls for More Control


We expect overblown, gun-grab agenda-advancing hysteria from USA Today. What we shouldn’t  expect (but sadly have come to) is the same kind of hyperbole from “A+”-rated John Cornyn, who is trying his hardest to give concessions to the gun-grabbers with “Fix NICS,” which Rep. Thomas Massie just warned will be tacked onto the national concealed carry reciprocity bill being voted on this week in the House. [More]
Consider the source, or in this case, the sources.

We're the Only Ones Unqualified Enough


Just as a human being I find it hard to grok how he could claim qualified immunity -- as opposed to being perpetually overcome with guilt and shame. [More]

After All, What Is a Blizzard But a Lot of Snowflakes?

Harvard: Millennials now biggest voting group in U.S., 2-1 Democratic [More]
It will be their world -- all we can do is warn and continue to fight against those doing this to them.

That and find common ground. And hope this quote and this one remain true (despite correct attribution doubts). And work at discerening and sharing the truth. And pray.

Oh, Look: More Fake News!

So the bank records weren't subpoenaed after all...? [More]

Jeez, between that and ABC spooking the stock market, you'd think the media had an agenda or something...

Speaking of Big Liars...

Dozens of Republicans are clamoring for a ‘dreamers’ fix by year’s end [More]
Think a one of them is up to addressing the challenge...?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

The Big Lie

Depending on what the committee finds, there could be a vote to censure or expel Mr. Moore. The many Republican Senators who have already called for him to step aside as a candidate would face a difficult political choice in an election year. If Mr. Moore is a Senator, the media will hang him around the neck of every Republican candidate as Democrats try to drive turnout among women and dispirit GOP voters. [More]
The choice isn't difficult at all. You just said it:
"Depending on what the committee finds..."
He can either be proven guilty or he cannot be.  This business of it's an election, and therefore our standard only needs to be collectivist/establishment-motivated accusations is  bullshit. If it can  be established the guy committed crimes against minors, then boot him out and let Gov. Ivey appoint a Republican replacement.

What you don't do is what all the #NeverTrump "Republicans" are doing: Cede the seat to the Democrats.

Unless your goals are the same as theirs...

And there's plenty of evidence that's the case with Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney -- much more evidence than there is against Roy Moore for anything. I hope those two subversives enjoy all the accolades they're getting on Twitter from Democrats who will never vote for them and will revert to overtly hating them again the next time they run for office.
