We’re the Only Ones Pyrotechnic Enough

Sheriff’s lieutenant with million-pound fireworks stash led to deadly blast, prosecutors say [More]

This one particularly grinds my gears because I used to work in the fireworks industry in California, initially brought in to help fight multiple municipal ballot measures to ban them. The “rationale” was to blame tepid “safe and sane” fountains for the illegal stuff brought in from Pahrump and beyond.

When I think of what we had to go through to operate in compliance, the worthy nonprofit efforts that were denied a great fundraising tool, the sanctimonioius blue noses who demanded their prejudice ruin things for everybody, and the Democrats who led the efforts to ban them, let’s just say I would not be a very fair juror.

Well, if New York Democrats weren’t racist

Say, does that “median household wealth” distinguish between those who work and those who don’t?

Wiping Off the MAP

WaPo Editor Pleads Guilty in Federal Child Porn Case… He was part of the newsroom team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for investigative reporting tied to coverage of Roy Moore’s Senate campaign. [More]

So he had three fingers pointing back at him?

What is it about WaPo award winners?

What is it about Pulitzer?

Did someone say “Morbark”?

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

“We’re going to make the case on why this new gunshot detection technology, as well as license plate readers, our real time center, more cameras, all this technology, gives us more intelligence, gives us more data to keep our streets safe,” Bibb said. [More]

“Safe”…?

Of course Bibb’s a member!

And I like how the biggest objection his Menshevik rivals have is the data could be shared with ICE.

At least we’re not Detroit!

I Need to Start a Pool

Through the Downtown Ambassador Program, safety ambassadors will roam downtown Thursdays through Sundays from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m., according to Nickie Davis, executive director of the Downtown Community Improvement District. These unarmed ambassadors will serve as “extra eyes” for the Columbia Police Department. [More]

I understand they even have their own patrol vehicle.

Bloodlust In/Bloodlust Out

Attorneys representing the wife of one of two men killed last year during a mass shooting at Florida State University, which was allegedly committed by 21-year-old Phoenix Ikner, say that they will soon file a civil lawsuit against ChatGPT and its parent company OpenAI, after learning that the chatbot allegedly helped Ikner plan his mass killings and aided him throughout the commission of his crimes. [More]

Interesting… he got a gun from his “Only One” mother…

It’ll also be interesting to see what he input and what its response was. I’m no fan of ChatGPT, but I have had occasion where it or Google AI have responded they could not provide an answer to my query because… well here, let me show you:

I did that on DuckDuckGo, so hopefully SWAT won’t be showing up anytime soon.

We’re the Only Ones Promotional Enough

Michael Ketcherside was charged with continuous promotion of prostitution. Matthew Cantrell, the former Godley Chief of Police, was charged with promoting prostitution. Former Godley police officer Solomon Omotoya was charged with soliciting prostitution. [More]

Not very Godly of ’em…

At least tell me they were out of uniform…

Looks like they won’t be promoting anything for a while.

“This illegal alien barbarically hit this woman in the head multiple times with a hammer. This heinous murderer was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Not only did the Biden administration release him into the country, but they then gave him temporary protected status. Their reckless immigration policies cost this woman her life,” said Acting Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis. [More]

I’d use a different word than “reckless.” If this isn’t treason, nothing is.

That’s what every stupid white woman “No Kings” protestor continues to not only enable but demand.

I had to do some searching to find out the murder happened at a Chevron-affiliate. And “Chevron tells employees to leave their guns at home.”

That’s just the way Democrats against a woman’s right to choose life want things.

We’re the Only Ones Corrupt Enough

He Used Drugs to Exploit His Victims – Now He’s Facing Decades in Prison – An Ohio jury found a law enforcement official guilty for using his former position to intimidate witnesses, steal department property, and corrupting confidential informants. [More]

Thank goodness we have men like him out there taking guns away from crimin… oh, wait…

When Seconds Count

As details emerged, students voiced concerns about their safety and the university’s response, calling for faster and clearer communication. Many expressed frustration with how Northeastern handled the incidents, saying they turned to social media and peers to fill information gaps left by delayed and sparse official alerts.  [More]

Everything but realize what they’re going to have to be prepared and able to do if they hope to have a chance when its their turn in the barrel, and then demand the right to do it while disregarding anyone who orders them “No.”

Of course, it’s easier to just stick your head in the sand and believe Ruben.
