The Incredible Shrinking Plan

The National Rifle Association saw revenue continue to decline in 2021, when it collected $227 million, the lowest figure in a decade and a 20 percent drop from the year before, according to the group’s most recent IRS filing. Back in 2016, the organization took in a record $367 million. [More]

Bloomberg-“seeded” The Trace takes its mouth off his teat long enough to gloat.

That said, numbers don’t lie, and the board knows what it needs to do to begin to appeal to member confidence. Except Wayne has his fingers dug in and wrapped around the spine, lest he falls off the tiger and gets devoured.

Doing the Job the FBI Won’t Do

Bobulinski’s reference stems from correspondence involving Hunter Biden where 10% of a Chinese business deal will be “held by H for the Big Guy.” Critics have long contended “H” is Hunter Biden and “The Big Guy” is Joe Biden. [More]

Not only did the Bureau ignore this before the mid-terms, but they also waited until afterward to admit Mar-A-Lago wasn’t everything they cracked it up to be.

UPDATE

And MSNBC is engaging in utter lying gaslighting. The thing is, most of those who watch it know and don’t care.

Adventures in Baselessness

Physical ballots and v-drives were reportedly taken to a closed building without observers present and kept there for six hours before being taken to the counting center. This would shatter the chain of custody along with breaking the law that the ballots go directly to the counting center. The plaintiffs say they can further show the county mailed official ballots to unverified voters and deleted at least 2,778 records of requests for mail-in ballots. [More]

Damn deniers.

It’s a Big Club and You Ain’t In It

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been exchanged on the stock market by our elected officials in 2021 alone. In just equities, Congress bought and sold nearly $290 million throughout the year. In 2021, Congress beat the market! [More]

Did someone say “insider trading”…?

And then, of course, there are other highly lucrative forms of financial compensation that no one seems interested in…

We’re the Only Ones ‘Gotta Catch ’em All’ Enough

Former JoCo deputy loses police license after fraudulently trying to buy Pokémon cards [More]

I wonder if I could commit a felony and get a “diversion agreement,” because I can’t tell you how many times “stress and anxiety” have induced me to rip off others…

Faithfully Representing Their Consituents’ Interests

Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade (D – District 132) and several others signed a letter sent to Gov. Mike Parson’s office on Thursday. The group suggests three specific courses of action in the letter to prevent tragedies like last week in Missouri: Universal background checks, strengthened extreme-risk protection orders and repealing the Second Amendment Preservation Act. [More]

Yeah, go after “the law-abiding!”

That’ll fix exactly nothing.

Which is kind of the point.

We’re the Only Ones Dated Enough

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith.

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”

In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

Meanwhile, Over at the Heart of Darkness…

It doesn’t matter what brand your politics is, this is Stasi stuff. [More]

Which is why they’re so intent on declaring anyone who knows that an enemy of the state… and noting how far they’ve dumbed down their constituents, all they have to do is scream “Racist!” and “Nazi!” and their DSM functionaries will do the rest.

Rotting from the Head

The FBI is asking a U.S. court to reverse its order that it produce information from Seth Rich’s laptop computer. If the court does not, the bureau wants 66 years to produce the information. [More]

That every elected official and every major news organization is not unrelentingly screaming “WHY?” tells us what we need to know.
