The Power of Suggestion

“Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels”‘Suggests’???? You’re Kidding, Right? ‘Suggests’? [More]

No, I’m not kidding. I laid out some documented examples of corruption to build my argument, but if I was going to use the word “Proves” for the specific instance of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum being in league with the cartels, I’d need to provide more than circumstantial evidence. I’d need to produce documentation establishing that she’s in communication with, on the take, or under direct threat from specific cartels. Barring that, it’s the same reason why words like “alleged” are used.

The commentator, who “suggests” he was a CIA operative in Mexico who had a direct hand in getting DEA agents in and then out of the country with their captures, claims direct knowledge I confess I cannot. If he’d like to be a whistleblower and blow the lid off this, I can guarantee the same level of care Mike and I gave to our Fast and Furious sources– after vetting them .

Hey, Teacher, Leave Them Kids Alone

Fred Wilson, a special education and social studies teacher at Egg Harbor Township High School, allegedly wrote, “I think we are at the moment where assassination is at least a talking point,” on Facebook, according to the Secret Service and reports. [More]

Actually, Fred, the bigger talking point is how those of you who would like to do it to him would like to do it to us, and we’re wondering how long it will be until someone acts in preemptive self-defense against the threateners.

We’re also wondering why 0ur tax dollars should be used to feed people who want to kill us.

We’re the Only Ones Remunerated Enough

In exchange for cash, “discounted legal services, gift cards, hotel rooms, and other gifts,” officers would either refrain from filing charges against DWI suspects or deliberately miss pretrial interviews, motion hearings, trials, or administrative driver’s license hearings. [More]

And it was pervasive…? Kind’a makes you wonder what the “heroic” Chief Medina has on the city’s Democrat “leadership” to keep his job.

I guess being a stooge for the citizen disarmament agenda is enough.

What a cesspool they’ve turned that town into.

What Do You Need an ‘Assault Weapon’ For?

Chilling surveillance footage showed one of the club’s security guards – who appeared to be wearing body armor – calmly raising his weapon as he steps in front of cowering clubgoers diving to the ground below. [More]

“Commonsense gun safety advocates” would rather he and the sheep he protected had been slaughtered.

About That Rumor

Despite the widespread speculation, here’s what we actually know:

A private criminal complaint was filed against Shapiro. The Butler County District Attorney disapproved the complaint. There is no official confirmation of any criminal charges or federal investigation. Social media claims of a cover-up remain unverified. [More]

For what it’s worth, he’s a Democrat…

That said, I join in cautioning not to leap to any illusions. Just from a making sense standpoint, it doesn’t.

And that said, boy, wouldn’t it be rich?

Should Be Easy Enough to Determine

“They sell weapons to drug cartels… the fact is that the Ukrainian military sells a huge percentage, up to half of the weapons we send them. And this is not my guess. This is a fact. Not speculation. They sell it, and a lot of it ends up with drug cartels on our border. So this is a crime,” Carlson said, quoted by RIA Novosti. [More]

If true, it should be provable from “crime scene” serial numbers, like in Fast and Furious . If not, a correction and apology are in order.

So… is anybody else looking into it?

We’re the Only Ones Underpaid Enough

Under an expired contract, pay for sergeants starts at $98,000 and is capped at $118,000 after roughly five years, according to the NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA). Patrol officers top out at $115,000 – meaning hundreds of sergeants make less than thousands of rank-and-file cops who have reached top pay for their position. [More]

Oh, the weight of the badge… “Law and order” Republicans are outraged!

The standing army sure makes a lot more than the average member of the Constitutional Militia it keeps disarmed, members who don’t have qualified immunity and union protection…

So what do New Yorkers get for their losses in freedom and treasure…?
