Dick Cheney Award Finalist, International Division

So Poland selects shooting competition judges based on how many of the rules they can break? I can see the “Certain Ethnic” skit now…

We’re the Only Ones Resigned Enough

According to the non-prosecution agreement, in exchange for Castleberry resigning from his role as Kimble County sheriff, surrendering his license to serve as a peace officer along with all certificates issued to him by the TCLE, the district attorney pro team and county attorney pro team terminated “any further investigation of the incidents involving Sheriff Castleberry and his family.” [More]

So… he basically just has to get a new job…?

And nothing about being ordered to surrender his guns and designated a “prohibited person’…?

The Meadow Soprano Story

The House Minority Leader is known for iron fisted party discipline and intimidation. Where did she learn to do that so effectively? [More]

Money isn’t the only thing these people launder.

But no matter how much they try to appear legitimate, they just can’t shake the old ways of corruption, extortion and coercion.

She just joined a bigger gang.

The Expendable

…Stallone has stayed pretty quiet about his personal politics over the years and admitted to not voting in the 2016 and 2020 elections [and] did not publicly endorse Trump during the 2024 election cycle… [More]

But now that he sees which way the wind is blowing, and instead of cancellation sees opportunity, he’s hopped on the train the rest of us boarded, stoked, and rode into the station…

I wonder if he still wants police to go door-to-door to confiscate all the guns while he headlines Brady fundraisers.

What a phony. He always has been.

Speaking of Hate Hoaxes

“We will not tolerate hate in Ohio,” Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement on the social media platform X on Saturday evening. “Neo-Nazis — their faces hidden behind red masks — roamed streets in Columbus today, carrying Nazi flags and spewing vile and racist speech against people of color and Jews. There were reports that they were also espousing white power sentiments.” [More]

So, we don’t know who they really are and what their real motivations are, do we? All we know is it furthers the politically usefule meme that white people are “the greatest threat.”

Everybody knows Hitler was a Democr…uh…National Socialist, right?

As was Mussolini…?

It Beats Actually Doing Something That Works

Democratic Georgia lawmaker sets goals for 2025 intended to reduce children’s gun injuries [More]

What’s the Road to Hell paved with again?

I guess that serves some purposes better then “Moron tries to punish everyone else for his own cConstituency’s bad behaviors.”

Or “Lickspittle media helps politican mask his own incompetence at finding real solutions in order to convince anyone dumb enough to vote for him that he’s got a viable plan”…

The Impossible Dream

How is it possible to do any part of the job without infringing on someone’s rights?

There’s no such thing as a good overseer. Some are just less cruel with their illegitimate power than others.

Who’s the Fascist?

DSM über alles!

Funny, how someone with a Bachelor of Arts in English feigns competence to make qualification pronouncements on state and defense…

And funny how the side whose vision was rejected is determioned to impose it anyway.

On the Short List

Attorney Mehek Cooke, a Republican attorney who served as a political and legal surrogate for Trump in 2024, is under consideration to be chosen to fill Vance’s seat… [More]

Knowing DeWine, who he picks is a real concern.

She seems to have the right attitude on guns.

And on illegal immigration

The idiot prohibitionists piling on, that is, the losers p!$$ed off about election results, offer the same tired, refutable arguments:

“Well regulated” refers to the militia. It has no bearing on weapons kept at home, and the Constitution delegates no authority for any branch of government to overcome “shall not be infringed.”

The “It’s the gun ” argument ignores the tens of millions of us who morally coexist with guns every day. Their only “solution” is to do what they say we’re paranoid for fearing: Ban guns.

And don’t argue “suicide” and then argue the police should be the “Only Ones” armed.

In This We Can Agree

“People violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.” [More]

Unfortunately, the court can’t pay proper attention until charges are brought against her.

In the Kapu Tradition

Did you know that Hawaii currently lacks any state-funded shooting facilities across all counties? This means limited opportunities for safe firearm training, recreational shooting, and practice for our local law enforcement. [More]

No one really believes Marxist citizen disarmamament fanatics when they mouth the words “commonsense gun safety,” do they?

I Come to Bury Caesar, Not to Praise Him

Ted Olson, 9/11, Citizens United, Bush v. Gore & The Importance of A Great Solicitor General [Watch]

That would be the same Ted Olson who argued against the Supreme Court hearing the Emerson case, asked the Supreme Court not to intervene in the Haney case, and argued against “restoring” a gun owner’s rights in the Bean case.

I don’t set out to pick arguments with influencers. It’s just that sometimes I hear things that trigger my inner Fletcher.

Slow Going Ahead

I’ve got to take the wife to the ophthalmologist this morning (I don’t want her driving after they dilate her eyes) and then have an article to write for Firearms News, so I probably won’t get to too many news tips today — and I generally don’t post here on weekends.

Please hold off on news tips or understand if I just can’t get to yours. I’ll try to post some stuff later today if I can.

Sale of InfoWars to The Onion Unintentionally Highlights Everytown’s Illegitimacy

It’s ironic that Jones has essentially been punished for “fake news,” the very thing The Onion exploits for its own profits. [More]

When it’s all said and done, my guess is these gloating (and ultimately humorless) prohibitionists are going to be anything but happy.

The Five Pillars of Tyranny

Hallmarks of Tyranny in an Evolving Social Democracy [More]

Dr. Miguel Faria shows us the fundamental commonalities shared by despotic regimes, all of them recognizable and in various stages of imposition in our own society.

If you read one thing today, make this it. Then do the people within your sphere of influence a great service by sharing it with them.

Lest Ye Be Judged

AZ Judge Recuses Himself From ‘Fake Electors’ Case After Emails Surface Demanding Judges Defend Kamala [More]

The real scandal here is that emails had to “surface.”

I will say that bit about Kamala being “promiscuous with generals in the Situation Room” would probably make for a pretty lucrative porno movie.

Getting Down to Brass Tacks

After years of feminizing the US military through DEI initiatives, a new executive order under consideration by the Trump transition team would establish a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel which would be granted the power to review three- and four-star officers and recommend any removals of those deemed unfit for leadership. [More]

Start with these “advisors.”

I Went to the Animal Fair

Visitors on-board with Saint Louis Zoo’s new security system… The system will detect concealed weapons at the north and south entrances. [More]

Presumably, the ones who aren’t on board aren’t visitors.

Don’t look for assaults to stop, and as for that crack team of highly trained professionals Eidman is bragging about…

Buyer’s Remorse Already?

Trump Shouldn’t Hire Kristi Noem, Or Anyone Else, To Run DHS. He Should Abolish It [More]

I didn’t know she screwed us with the Somalis.

Now comes the Herculean job of trying to rein him in.

I hope some of those inclined to ignore valid critiques by angrily demanding to know if we’d rather have Kamala will take a moment to understand there’s a real difference between supporting Trump and supporting the agenda we elected him to enact.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Big Win’ Is

Another Big Win for the Second Amendment…Huge and good news out of the US Senate today and Sen. John Thune has been selected the new Senate Majority Leader. [Watch]

Because NRA ratings

Pay no attention to the men behind the curtain.

Between this and the constant defeatism, I’m just not inclined to link to this guy any more.
