Bermuda, Bahama, Come on Pretty Mama

United States residents traveling to the Bahamas should exercise “extreme caution” in Nassau in the wake of 18 murders since Jan. 1, the State Department said in a new travel advisory. “Murders have occurred in all hours including in broad daylight on the streets,” according to a security alert that was posted on Jan. 24 by the U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas.

And here’s a shocker:

Bahamas law does not permit the carrying of concealed weapons.

Neither does the cruise ship that gets you there.

The Grabbers Wanted More Than Hope and Prayers

The mother prayed and her children recited scripture even as they heard Goss kicking in the doors inside their home. He eventually found them hiding in the closet that was designated as the family’s safe room. The mother shot him as he entered the closet still holding the knife. Goss then fled the scene. [More]

Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence would rather they had been butchered than armed.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Pornographic Enough

In some instances, these scammers will demand the victims send photos and videos of them having sex with someone to prove they do not have drugs. [More]

Wait, you mean that was…? Ah, jeez, I haven’t felt this ripped off since I sent my PIN to Mr. Franky Samora

How is anyone really this stupid?

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones and County Executive Sam Page have introduced the Regional Anti-Violence Collaborative, which is aiming to reduce violent crime, grow the economy, stabilize neighborhoods, and give residents access to more safe and affordable homes. [More]

In other words, they’re going to buy votes with money that’s not theirs, and the only impact on crime will be it will go up because no one charged to fight it has a clue.

We’re the Only Ones Working Around Enough

“The US government should not be funding and legitimizing a shady industry whose flagrant violations of Americans’ privacy are not just unethical but illegal,” Wyden said in a letter to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines. “To that end, I request that you adopt a policy that, going forward,” intelligence agencies “may only purchase data about Americans that meets the standard for legal data sales established by the FTC.” [More]

“Request”…?

In a world where it didn’t mean arresting themselves, the “official” criminals participating in this conspiracy to deprive citizens of rights under color of authority would be behind bars…

Baldwin Indictment is Karma for Gun Prohibitionist Who Made a Point of Being Obnoxious About It

With a history of personal nastiness combined with repeated demands to lay claim to the rights of his countrymen, it’s natural that the targets of Baldwin’s obsession would see the humor in his becoming victim of his own hubris. [More]

Or as Shakespeare wrote, “Hoist with his own petard…”

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

My wife and I play these scenarios over in our head all the time. We’ve practiced going out through the back seat to get our kids out of our car if we are carjacked. [More]

And if the people who don’t obey the citizen disarmament edicts you demand decide not to let you…?

What kind of non-man admits to the world he leaves the safety of his wife and children, to the mercies of predators?

And what about Fang Fang?

The Definition of Insanity

For seven years, this initiative has allowed public officials to hear about the real issues impacting the community from the residents themselves. [More]

So how many more years will they carry on this farce before they realize what they’re doing isn’t working? Or more likely, they know, but going through the motions is more personally career-enhancing than admitting they’re clueless.

Through a Glass, Darkly

Murphy has filed a lawsuit against Sunglass Hut’s parent company after a store’s facial recognition program falsely identified him as a robber. As a result, he was arrested and jailed, which led to him being sexually assaulted. [More]

How is it the state can assume custodial control of someone but not assume a duty to protect with attendant liability — and no qualified immunity?

What Better Way to Expose the Fraud of ‘Gun Control’?

America’s Stolen Guns: A Silent Contributor to Gun Crimes in the U.S. (2024) [More]

I get two takeaways from this:

  • “Gun-free zones” make things more dangerous because, aside from leaving “law-abiding” gun owners defenseless, they require them to leave their property unattended and vulnerable to theft. And lock box/safe “solutions” are defeatable, even the best ones if the whole car is stolen.
  • The numbers put the lie to needing serial numbers to trace guns recovered from crime scenes to the guilty party, and if you think about it, the whole “background check” scam.

So naturally, the grabbers will use this to demand more prohibitions.

We’re the Only Ones Rummaging Enough

The FBI violated the Fourth Amendment when its agents rifled through the contents of more than 700 safe-deposit boxes in the aftermath of a March 2021 raid, a panel of federal appeals court judges ruled unanimously on Tuesday. [More]

And the reason every damn one of those oath-breaking, jackbooted fascists isn’t behind bars…?

Insult to Injury

“For the city to not only fail to protect…small businesses but on top of that give us an invoice for doing the work that they did seems fully irrational… It’s literally the definition of kicking someone when they’re down,” he said. [More]

Would it be out of line to ask him how he votes?
