Raising Arizona

Jerome Corsi brings the subject up in regard to Gunwalker shenanigans. [Read]

Tweet SOTU

An NC Gun Blog weighs in. [Read]

Which reminds me: We need to get a photo of someone wearing one of these standing in front of this place.

Time to get one for yourself is quickly running out.

Authorized Journalist Code Words

Laurene Powell Jobs is the founder and chair of Emerson Collective, which helps under-served communities build better lives. [More]
Figures the billionairess hawks the collective.  And nice "straight news" reporting there, Lori Preuitt, using   unsubstantiated conclusion-producing agenda phrases like "under-served."

The flip side to that, of course, is "over-mastered," but "progressive" Lori, in her NBC Bay Area-assigned mission to keep us under-informed, won't tell you that.

Issa on Cunningham: 'We are still going to bring him forward'

Issa's appearance on Fox News answers the question of whether or not Cunningham will still be called before the Committee:

"We are still going to bring him forward."
See the sidebar video player for the complete Issa interview. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report brings expected news--I have a call in to ask when we'll get some feedback on the questions asked--the deposition was originally scheduled for today.

My Interview with the President

In re today's GRE.
 [Click image to enlarge.]

I thought these were pretty good.

Question: I don't see a way to direct people to  specific posts to vote for them...Here's mine:
But the url is just the generic http://www.youtube.com/whitehouse.


Help please? How can I direct people to my question to vote? Because so far, there are 5 votes to remove it, and it looks like only a few more and it will be gone.

Eat Fascist Death, Flaming Media Pigs!*

Start with this Jeremiah's Johnson here. [Read]

What a d!ckhead.

I haven't been this inspired to crank up the guillotines since Vanessa Redgrave had her chauffeur pull the limo over so that she could preach Trotskyism to the workers.

They Got THAT Right

Comment posted here:

I note they didn't say "Wrong" or "Untruthful"...

I'm just jealous he could access this site.  I try so hard to be a wild-eyed "hatriot."

Ask Obama about Gunwalker

It would be appropriate to see everyone who is outraged by the government's actions, stonewalling and outright lies to get personally involved and to also spread the word about this. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report casts a net using social networks. And what it asks of all of us can be done in mere moments.

Spending Political Capital the "Pragmatic" Way

Let me get this straight: Grading a confirmation vote for Sotomayor was "burning" it, but urging everyone to spend time and money nationally patronizing Starbucks to counter a boycott proposed by a publicity-seeking nobody is something we should all rally behind?

Maybe They're Afraid of Promoting Senseless Violence?

“ABSOLUTELY NO FIREARMS, AMMO, HUNTING OR KNIFE COMPANIES WILL BE PERMITTED AS SPONSORS IN ANY ZUFFA PROMOTED EVENTS.” [More]
I just can't think of any reason why anyone who should be taken seriously would waste one second of their lives on "ZUFFA PROMOTED EVENTS."

Thing is, there appears to be a broader network policy as well:
This time the ban appears to stem from FOX.
And:
The MMA Corner has learned from sources close to the situation that the latest impact is that guns and ammunition sponsors, such as The Gun Store and Ammotogo.com, have been banned from events that take place on the Fox family of networks.
Say, aren't they the folks with that "conservative" news network the regressive' left's useful idiots have been primed to publicly hate? You know, the ones whose top guy supported Hillary...?

Well, smack me down with a folding chair.

Speaking of Trains

Anybody know what's north of Watsonville and South of Santa Cruz that this one would be traveling from and to? [Watch]

Meanwhile, Over in Furious Mike Paradise...

4 People Die In Unrelated Subway Incidents [More]
In spite of near total enforced and surveilled train control...

Stakeholders

Reforming gun laws and why we all have a stake in mental health [More]
You know, the myth perpetrated by the regressives that the Royal "We" (i.e., "they") have a claim on everything, which naturally includes your and my rights...

I'm sure it's a mental illness for some, but for others, it's pretty much just the same motivation that prompts a highwayman to demand your money or your life under force of arms.

I'm not sure whether Bobbie Paxton suffers from an affliction, ignorance, or some darker motive, but hysteria over "the NRA with its unlimited power" does make me question her capacity for rational thought. Maybe if she watched a few relaxing turtle dove hunting videos she'd calm down...

In the interim, if anybody's going to be holding a stake around here, put it to good use.

We're the Only Ones Pulling Enough

SC mayor pulled over, then pulls trooper over [More]
You know, give us our "professional courtesy"--or else.

This Day in History: January 24

I should have been glad had the situation of the Army, in respect to General Officers, admitted of my granting your request for a longer continuance of your furlough. But I am really obliged to dispense with many necessary Camp duties and to send Officers of inferior Ranks upon commands which ought in propriety to fall to General Officers. [More]
