Homicide detectives with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department believe a mother tried to frame her 2-year-old son for the shooting death of the child’s father. [More]
And she’d have let him live with that.

Notes from the Resistance
Illegal migrants are being ‘encouraged’ to vote, top Republican warns after shocking documents reveals ‘training’ for noncitizens to cast ballots in Washington D.C. [More]
Why is there even a discussion? Seriously…?

“We’re talking about rigorous video surveillance…and it was positive in solving this crime. It’s upsetting, but we’re moving forward.” [More]
Still making excuses, eh, Taulby? How about something positive to prevent it from happening in the first damn place?
And why does the Roach Motel slogan come to mind?

“According to witnesses, the event was peaceful until an argument took place, which led to at least one subject shooting multiple rounds into the large crowd, Reid said. [More]
Nothing about those involved, or is the takeaway supposed to be this could happen to everyone in Everytown…?

New Jersey Mayors Want the Power To Sue You For Asking Too Many Questions – A bill backed by the Conference of Mayors would let courts issue restraining orders when people “harass” officials with information requests. [More]
And just look at that list of New Jersey mayors…
They’re not the only ones complaining:
“In short, there is a tangled web of connections between a small cadre of firearms activists and their efforts to recover fees through largely unsuccessful FOIA litigation.”
After all, who works for whom…?

Likening drug users to people who are “mentally ill and dangerous,” the ruling says barring them from owning firearms is not unconstitutional on its face. [More]

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just said that the felon in possession of firearms statute may not apply to nonviolent felons. [Watch]

While it’s interesting that candidates who never lifted a finger to protect gun rights are desperate to appear to have the support of gun rights organizations, voters deserve to know what’s really happening in our elections. And it’s not pretty. Do nothing organizations have long sought to cash in on the generosity and commitment of gun owners. And often they are quite successful. [More]
There’s clearly moneyed interests behind their site.
But they don’t want to tell you whose.
And I see no “social media” icons– I guess they don’t want to be called out in publicly viewable comments.
Tennessee Appeals Court Rules Against Wildlife Agents Who Planted Cameras on Private Land [More]
I guess that’s one way to collect free cameras.
Figures the roots of this tyrannical assault on property and freedom are from the Prohibition era.
That whole mentality runs counter to everything the Republic was established for.

This bigoted, dangerous rhetoric and its related dog whistles dehumanize migrants and communities of color, positioning them as an existential threat that must be met with violence. [More]
No, it must be met with law. If enforcement must turn violent, that’s on them.
So if you’re against open borders, illegal immigration, and unlimited and “rigorous” refugees, you’re a violent racist. Figures Giffords has joined hands with all the other commies on the list.
Perhaps just one the many signatories will be up for my challenge.
Looks like they finally landed a workable url over at Cold Fury. [More]
Telling the audience how he improved a bad bill hardly addressed his assertion that Lautenberg “is strong protection for women and children,” or his claim that his amending language kept it from being “declared unconstitutional.” He then goes on to support the concept of “prohibited persons.” So, the answer is, no, he wouldn’t repudiate his past support and spearhead the effort to repeal it. Instead, he preferred you to be caught in the trap and then go through a Catch-22 appeals process. [More]
More to the point: What’s a gun-grab proponent even doing on the NRA board in the first place?

The current “free speech zone” for the convention is in Pere Lafayette Park, a mere quarter of a mile from the convention venue. By comparison, the Democrats in Chicago have set up a free speech zone about three miles from the United Center where the convention will be held. [More]
So, who picked a Bloomberg city?
And once off the property of the venue, where are such “zones” authorized and why is “the party of small government” demanding them?

Ohio Community Outraged After School District Allegedly Withholds Information on Student Accused of Raping 9-Year-Old — Suspect Still in Class, Playing Sports [More]
That’s my town and that’s the high school feral sons Uday and Qusay graduated from. I wonder if the outrage will affect voter inclinations to approve school levies. Experience says “No.”
Then again, while the crime he’s acccused of is inexcusable and heinous, legally, he’s innocent, and we’re supposed to have due process. I just wonder what the school’s position would be had he been accused of having a gun.

“Its About Your Loyalty, Who Do You Support?” – Vivek Ramaswamy and Ann Coulter on Citizenship [Watch]
I’ve been beating the dual citizenship and immigrants on 2A drums for a long time. It’s nice to see someone else talking about it, but it’s still a far cry from someone doing something about it.

This Custer County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting on May 1st started out “normal” (whatever that is here in Happy Valley) but when the subject of an upcoming BOCC Election Integrity Forum came up at the end, some of our left leaning locals went full victim outrage Stage 10 Soy Boy trying to suppress free speech as they didn’t agree with the meeting’s subject. (Just like the libs do on our college campuses around the country.) [More]
The Sangre de Cristo Sentinel continues tobe the unyielding watchdog a free press was meant to be.
How many hometown papers can say that? Can yours?
