The Last Roundup

FBI Raids Up To 50 Trump Allies In One Day: Bannon, Dhillon [More]

I saw something about this flash across the screen on Fox News as we left my Mom’s place Friday night, but on getting home saw nothing about it.

For some reason, most “real reporters” don’t find this newsworthy.

I wonder how long it will be until talk about the Second Amendment being a deterrent to tyranny is regarded as an actionable seditious conspiracy by federal law enforcement.

To Be or Not to Be

Gun suicides rose 11% in past decade, linked to cities with lax gun policies: New research [More]

Because everyone knows correlation equals causation and there’s no more reliable research than the kind bankrolled by political extremists with totalitarian agendas! Especially when given glowing reviews by DSM cheerleaders!

Why, every time I think about how the town where I live hasn’t closed the “boyfriend loophole,” I just want to stick my head in the oven– until I remember it’s electric.

Feeling the Cultural Vibrancy

Sources told KGO-TV that the victim and the suspect were in an ongoing relationship. According to authorities, the young woman filed a restraining order in April against the suspect, Jose Solano Landaeta. Sources informed the news outlet that there was a history of domestic violence.v [More]

What else was there a history of?

Would it be out of line to wonder if San Carlos being a self-declared “sanctuary city” played any part? I ask because no “real news” report apparently will.

Taking a Leak

Elected officials, police chiefs on leaked Oath Keepers list [More]

The story here is really “Who leaked it?”

The feds?

In a related development:

The founder of the far-right Oath Keepers fired his attorneys on Tuesday…

The “real reporters” just can’t resist poisoning perceptions with a narrative talking point right out of the starting gate. I wonder if you asked them what is extreme about keeping your oath to the Constitution or insisting that the Uniform Code of Military Justice be enforced to ensure only lawful orders are obeyed if they’d be able to do more than babble and try to change the subject/argue non-sequiturs.

The Buyback Menace

In fact, the study said a 7.7% increase in crimes involving a gun occurred in those cities and counties in the immediate two months after a buyback. [More]

The Philadelphia Inquirer Iditorial Board has an about-damn-time epiphany of sorts, then wrings its hands and wails “Something must be done,” all the while clueless as to what that something needs to be.

Render Unto Seizure

More than 15K “red flag” gun seizures since 2020, but AP claims the law is “barely used” [More]

Speaking of “barely used,” how about the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

And as long as we’re talking “woefully low” and “too small a pebble to make a ripple,” I wonder if anyone has compiled verifiable figures proving a documented number of saved lives attributable to “red flag” confiscations.

Chippie Off the Old Block?

“I have 4 daughters that play the game, 3 at the college level. We’ve always had that occasional idiot in the crowd, but never an atmosphere like this.” — Marvin Richardson, father of Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson who was called racial slurs during a match at BYU [More]

So what, actually, was said? Be nice if there was– you know — evidence to back up the accusations. Which there apparently isn’t.

Kinda makes you wonder if ol’ Marvin is this fast and loose with dangerously prejudicial allegations in his capacity as a highly placed administration ATF mucky-muck — and why he wasn’t so identified by the CNN “Authorized Journalist.”

In the Interests of Transparency

Cover-Up: Biden Treasury Makes Move to Stop GOP From Getting Hunter Biden Records [More]

Criminal conspiracy stonewalling and cover-up from the highest circles… where have we seen that before?

Funny, how we have to learn about this from Red State and the New York Post, while all the majors only seem to be concerned with Mar-a-Lago records…

We’re the Only Ones Simple Enough

Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong had a simple message Tuesday outside City Hall in the wake of a spree of deadly shootings in the city: put down the guns. [Watch]

Expecting that to make a difference is beyond simple. It’s retarded.

As is everyone in this video, starting with the incompetent “Authorized Journalists” putting the blame on “gun violence,” every self-promoting “official” spouting blather, and every “community” moron wearing an orange shirt and nodding solemnly after each buzzword.

Aid and Comfort to the Enemy

Former Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL) criticized South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham for predicting violence if former President Donald Trump is indicted but not condemning it. [Watch]

I met this self-serving character at a Gun Rights Policy Conference where we all assumed he was a friend instead of a citizen disarmament-enabling traitor.

It’s interesting he identifies himself as someone who “escaped the MAGA cult.” What a deceptive way of smearing his countrymen who believe in traditional American principles because they foster freedom and prosperity.  This cultist ingrate has just switched over and become an “evangelist” for the dark side.

Happy shooting, kids!

Operation Demoralize

“The media swarms and lies. Tells you it’s over, wants you to give up. Happens every single time.” Don’t fall for it. [More]

Think of it as a coordinated buzzkill. Just look at what all the  Google News hits on “red wave” are suddenly and in unison telling us, and then look at the same term on prior publication dates.

None of which means the Stupid Party isn’t trying its best to blow it.
