Finishing Katie's Job for Her

The editing simply dramatizes the sophistry of the VCDL members. [More]
Not that Gibney is beholden to any ideologies or anything...

Just Because You Have a Gun...

...doesn't mean you're going to win. [More]

What it gives you is a choice and a chance. How well you make that choice is up to you.

And if you look for trouble, chances are you will find it.

We're the Only Ones Backed Enough

The bill would create new federal crimes, impose federal police over the will of local officials and voters and shield police officers from virtually any civil liability, even in cases of egregious misconduct. [More]
Brought to you by the Stool Sample wing of the Republican Party.

What could go wrong?

You Don't Say

Many newcomers to Canada and Europe are demanding laws similar to those from which they claim to be seeking refuge. [More]
Kind'a like Californication on steroids.

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

Right, just about every one of you self-styled "gun bloggers," who daily get away with ignoring the threat yet CAN'T answer my oft-repeated challenge?

Let Me Guess: Republicans?

Study: More Than 7,400 Illegal Votes Cast in Virginia Since 2011 [More]
Don't assume the"study" caught it all.

Virginia, eh? Right under the noses of the Lairds of Fairfax.

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

Right, Sir Grover? Sir Wayne?

Sir Michael?

#STUPIDPARTY

Where is the special prosecutor for Hillary and Barack? [More]
I wonder if stupidity is really the explanation -- just like I questioned the "Not evil just wrong" presumption.

I'm more inclined to believe in a combination of Quigley's maxim backed up with compelling incentives courtesy of Dolly the Love Ewe.

Or as old pal Steiger once noted:
We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.

Captain's Log

Those are Some 'Safety Tips'

The spokeswoman said Uber has safety tips for drivers and riders, developed with the assistance of law enforcement agencies. She also said that drivers are encouraged to contact local authorities if they ever feel unsafe, and that the app has a two-way feedback system that is monitored around the clock by a team that investigates any problems that are reported. [More]
I wonder if the idiot "spokeswoman" has ever tried any of that while being slashed, stabbed and hacked to death.

Based on results, Uber's multillionaire owners would rather its drivers of modest means be butchered alive than armed.

Good for the Goose

Do what the left does. [More]

I have been. For years. That's a component of the VLLA SELLA philosophy.

I found and passed along contacts.

I even found one that is eminently pre$$urable because of its foot in the gun camp.

If nobody does anything with them, then nothing will be done. It's just that simple.

And sure, of course there are more important efforts and bigger fish to fry.  That's why this will only take a few seconds.

SCOTUS Picks a Side. Guess Whose.

But under modern jurisprudence, when the police barge in you’re likely to carried by six and then judged wanting by one: You’ll die in the face of overwhelming firepower, and your estate’s case will be tossed right out of court by a judge.[More]
Especially considering all those "Fauxnly Ones" examples I've compiled here without even trying.

Opposite Day 'Progressive' Southern Poverty

Brian Halligan, Chief Executive of software company HubSpot and an avid Deadhead purchased the guitar at a Guernsey's auction benefiting the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) at New York's Brooklyn Bowl. Halligan's bid was also matched with a $1.6 million donation, raising $3.2 million total for the SPLC. [More]
All I can figure is he's on acid.

Fluid Dynamics

Currently, we do not have any plans to cancel the show although the situation is still quite fluid and will continue to be evaluated as the date approaches. [More]
Here's something to be on guard against that came to mind when one of the other venues, that did cancel, said they'd received threats.  What with all the documented cases of false accusations, virtually all of them coming from Opposite Day "progressives," don't be surprised if some leftist fanatic calls in a bomb threat or something similar and tries to make it look like Trump supporters are terrorists.

Coming Soon to a Caliphate Near You

Two months ago, we did the same for the victims in Stockholm. Last December, for those in Berlin. And, earlier, for those in Nice, Brussels, Paris, Copenhagen… [More]
Gee, it's almost like there's a common thread or something...

Feeling Unappreciated

[S]tudent activists complain they’re being vilified by conservative media. [More]
Awww, poor babies. Seems to me you raging moral and intellectual defects are doing that all to yourselves...

But She Was So Well-Suited for the Job


Squatty Potty flushes Kathy Griffin. [More]

So does Route 66 Casino, which I did not see on the upcoming tour dates list.

Meanwhile, Tyler Shields evidently wants to suffer for his "art."

Funny. I wonder why his current Leica Gallery exhibition notice has been taken down and is only available via Google cache...?

I suppose I could ask Leica what the deal is. You could, too. Especially since they're big on hunting optics and their "press center" page gives all kinds of contact/social media info.

"Celebrities" may be too stupidly insulated from the real world to not act that way, but the money men who enable them don't want any trouble -- they just want to make a buck.

We're the Only Ones Despairing Enough

The Chicago Police Department has recorded suicide rates 60 percent higher than the national average. [More]
Isn't that one of the reasons the antis want the authorities to disarm us? And by admitting "no solution, just yet," doesn't that mean the department knows it is sending forth ticking time bombs?

Just one more example of the "Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town" dysfunctionality that ensures breakdowns at all critical pressure points are the norm. And the decision-makers keep heaping on the statism, as if that'll lead to anything but catastrophic failure.

The defintion of insanity and all that ... which is what the cops are deployed to deal with, when in fact, the mess the masters make cannot be cleaned up, and is looking more and more like a design feature. No wonder some snap.

As an aside, "reporter" Fernando Hurtado certainly lives up to his "progressive journalist" credentials with idiotic statements like "A FOID card is what gives officers the right to carry a gun."

Unclear on the Concept


I’m a pro gun democrat. I have no problems with guns…I do have a problem with republican polution of our fields and streams. I’ve never heard a democrat suggest taking away our hunting rifles, fishing poles, or shotguns…even if they want to keep war weapons only in the hands of the military. Fact is, I can hunt with a bow if it comes down to it…but PRO pollution destroys the environment I LOVE to hunt in. [More]
LeBouef, eh?

Any relation?
