Q&A

Mother demands answers after son is among victims in series of shootings in 24 hours in Lancaster [More]

I have questions, too, starting with “Mom, where was your husband in that clip?”

Or are we not allowed to extrapolate from generalities? Because those who say we need more “gun control” sure do.

Is the answer really more police, or is that just a reaction to an effect?

We’re the Only Ones Catching and Releasing Enough

Illegal Alien From Turkey Accused of Raping 15-Year-Old Girl… The border patrol arrested Akkan in the San Diego sector on November 5, 2023… Authorities released Akkan a few days later “on his own recognizance due to a lack of bed space and ordered to appear in a Philadelphia court on Feb. 19, 2025.” [More]

The question is not only “Why do we need such a government?” but “Why shouldn’t we ‘alter or abolish‘ it?”

Some People Just Won’t Learn

The reason you see headlines claiming someone is serving a long prison sentence for possession of a small amount of drugs is that they are repeat offenders. Repeat offenders receive longer sentences, and most people in prisons are repeat offenders. [More]

So, it wasn’t really about a slice of pizza…?

Not that I’m endorsing prohibition… part of me wonders if Fentanyl losses don’t have a plus side.

TPD renews gunshot detection system as NYC audit casts doubt on ShotSpotter accuracy [More]

Despite the fact that “in more than 80 percent of its activations, no one called 911.”

What else would we expect from a Bloomberg city, which makes this all the more difficult to explain…

The Saga Continues

Here’s the latest in the Sheng Thao brouhaha.

Brass responded to the mayor’s office’s statement, calling it absolutely untrue and telling KRON4 he received no communication from Thao on Saturday about changing attorneys. [More]

So she’s out there protesting her innocence while her attorney says she’s a liar and wants nothing to do with her…?

Still, when are the feds gonna move and what’s taking them that long?

FAFO

‘I don’t understand why he was shot because there were two men and just him. Why not hold him at gunpoint? Or why not beat him up?’ [More]

Those are all concerns someone with more than a split second to make an unplanned decision where adrenalin is surging might consider afterward.

There’s a better choice that could have been made in the first place.

You Can’t Have One Without the Other

Mandatory death penalty within twelve months of trial for the murder of any law enforcement officer should be a federal law. [More]

“Any”? Why do Waco and Ruby Ridge come to mind?

Or Katrina confiscators?

Somebody wanna tell this guy about the “Only Ones” files?

And what the hell did he mean we should do about this?

Hartford Citizen Patrol Presents Dilemmas for Gun-Grabbing Democrats

The Self-Defense Brigade, organized “at the behest of Archbishop Dexter Burke of the Walk in the Light Church of God,” is reminiscent of an effort from the middle of the last century, one remembered and honored by Amendment advocates with long memories, but for the most part ignored by Democrats and self-designated “civil rights leaders,” none of whom, if they even know about him, are keeping the example set by Robert Hicks alive, to be reflected on today and passed on to the next generations. [More]

Go ahead, sic the cops on ’em, Democrats. I dare ya.

We’re the Only Ones Discarding Enough

23-year-old Sandra Birchmore, who was allegedly groomed and sexually assaulted by three former Stoughton police officers for nearly a decade, according to a wrongful death suit filed in 2022, was found dead in her Canton apartment on Feb. 4, 2021. [More]

Just reading this one account and not knowing anything else about the case, I see how lynch mob mentalities are formed. I had to take a deep breath and think “due process” to myself a couple times.

To Themselves and Their Posterity

How non-citizens are getting voter registration forms across the US — and how Republicans are trying to stop it [More]

A plan comes together:

Texas AG Ken Paxton on Impact of Biden’s Illegal Aliens: “The Plan From the Beginning, Get These People Here As Fast as Possible and Get Them Voting”

That they get welfare instead of an ICE bus to the border shows that horse left the barn a long time ago.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
