Picking the Low-Hanging Fruit

Hawaii soldier remains in federal custody, accused of trying to help ISIS [More]
Gosh, and after all those "background checks"...

The operative word is "trying, because it appears he did his plotting with an "undercover agent."

Who would have guessed?

When something really big and bad does happen, odds are it will involve plenty of unfollowed leads beginning after a process that can best be described as "rigorous."

In the mean time, let's all focus on what scary, evil bastards those right wing extremists are.

Matt Bracken: The Deep Pockets Behind the Migrant “Rescue” Industry [More]
Fortunately for us, the Donald Jr. non-story is more worthy of loud and indignant investigation.

Are You Sure You're Ready for the Answer?

What Gun Regulations Should be “Repealed or Replaced”? The ATF Wants to Know. [More]
Piccolo, you got this one:


Up the Volume

So let’s make some noise on Capitol Hill about the SHUSH Act. Contact your Senators and Representatives to urge them to cosponsors S. 1505 and H.R. 3139. [More]
And if your senators and reps are safe state pieces of crap who laugh at such pleas, contact some who may have incentive to do the right thing, if not out of principle than out of pragmatism. If you use social media, you can get around the "not my district/state" evasion.

Guardians of the Tree of Knowledge

The gatekeepers are bound and determined to keep any divergent signals from going through, over under or around. [More]

The Consistency is in the Subversion

A bunch of Wisconsin atheists are angling to stop the state of New Hampshire from holding hunter safety classes inside church buildings. [More]
So they'll also no doubt also object to mosques applying for DHS grants to "beef up their own security"?

Not Following the Narrative

Four people are facing felony charges following Saturday’s Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan rally in Charlottesville. [More]
Wait a sec... none of them were Klan members...

Coming Soon to a Caliphate Near You

A Canadian landlord who was fined $12,000 for wearing shoes in a Muslim tenant’s home ... [More]
They sure assimilate quickly when they want to.

At least our neighbors to the north know who to thank for all the vibrancy.

Here Comes the Judge!

The Texas Supreme Court has suspended a Houston judge amid allegations she sexted while on the bench and used illegal drugs. [More]
But she came so highly recommended...

I KNEW It Was Somehow All My Fault



Militant, ain't she? [More]

Before you start the revolution, sweetie, you might want to check the You Tube "thumbs up/down" ratio.

Forget who's in charge of the cities and the schools. If you dare to protect yourself, you're racist.

Why just the other weekend, I'll bet it was NRA members that did this. I mean, logically, who better to disarm if your beef is with "Only Ones" enforcing for Democrat regimes?

As long as people choose "leaders" like this hate-filled, seething Marxist rabblerouser, they'll continue self-destructing.

"Dignity and Power Now" -- with "progressives," every day truly is Opposite Day.

Oh, and by the way, as long as I'm in for a penny: Why is Maxine culturally appropriating that hair?

Almost There, Mr. Praeger

I am certainly not equating leftism with Nazism. [More]
Then, your other fine and true words notwithstanding, you'll continue to avoid coming to real grips with your central premise.

We're the Only Ones at the Climax of Our Career Enough

Missouri sheriff's corporal accused of taking nude photos, demanding sex acts from prisoner [More]
So he use his ... uh ... position to coerce her to do ... uh ... hard time...?  Isn't that rape?

Stop the Threat


After work, a woman parks her car by her apartment complex, but is distracted while chatting on her cell phone as she exits. Unaware, she proves to be an easy target for an assailant lurking in the shadows. [More]
The July featured episode is on Amazon Prime.

We're the Only Ones Igniting Enough

Suicidal man doused in gasoline catches fire after police use Taser on him [More]
Well, they did need to spark up a conversation...

They're Always After Me Lucky Charms

Man in drag guilty of murdering pigeon enthusiast with sub-machine gun [More]
There's a headline you don't read every day. And in "restrictive" Ireland of all places!

I Smell a Discrimination Lawsuit

PROBLEMS WITH DISCRETION: FEW CONCEALED HANDGUN PERMITS GIVEN TO HISPANICS, BLACKS, OR WOMEN IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY [More]
Nice to see this issue finally being resurrected after all these years.  The last time, "progressive" state hypocrites tried to destroy records to hide blatant discrimination they would not tolerate anywhere else.

Trouble in Paradise

Hawaii News -  Growing homeless encampments prompt proposal for armed park rangers [More]
"Progressive" problems call for "progressive" solutions. And who better for Opposite Day social justice warriors to take out than the least protected and most "underserved" among us?

It's the national socialist thing to do!

God, they have screwed that state.

A Matter of Priorities

BART Withholding Surveillance Videos Of Crime To Avoid ‘Stereotypes’ [More]
The code words "kids" and "teenagers" do that all by themselves. Despite Google images.

The nerve of the people who pay for it all, expecting "public servants" to provide identifying information on proven violent threats that are still out there endangering the community...

Unequal Protection

“The bill decriminalizes so-called ‘gun free’ zones for concealed handgun license holders,” said bill sponsor, Rep. John Becker, R-Clermont. [More]
So those who refuse on principle to apply for the usurpers' pemission to exercise a right are still screwed?

Once members of lobbying groups have their place at the table, will they then devote resources to bringing everyone else in, or will this be kind of like LEOSA, where those who have theirs have little personal incentive to care and plenty to remain exclusive?

Hell, I expect even asking that question will touch some nerves.

If you want to argue "incremental improvement," I hope you're prepared to commit to true "Constitutional carry" and to flesh out a realistic plan.

Dennis Moore Economics

Seattle City Council approves income tax on the rich, but quick legal challenge likely [More]
What's the matter? Don't well-to-do "progressives" want to pay "their fair share"?

Blimey! This redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought!

Flawed Right-to-Carry ‘Study’ Bolsters Agenda against Guns


Once the headlines have been absorbed, reinforced biases will make unquestioning voters receptive to politicians promising more disarmament legislation. [More]
Lather, rinse, repeat. And ignore/disparage the guy who can set everyone straight.
