We’re the Only Ones Breaking Bad Enough

An NYPD cop and her boyfriend were arrested Thursday on federal narcotics distribution charges and related conspiracy counts for selling more than a kilo of heroin and nearly a pound of fentanyl to a confidential source working for the FBI. [More]

And up until the time she was arrested, she was legally empowered to arrest you for being armed where the city dictated you could not be.

On the Gunny Side of the Street

Among other restrictions, the law bans the public carry of firearms at designated sensitive locations and institutes a default ban on carrying firearms on private property without express permission from the property owner. [More]

WarOnGuns Correspondent JR asks if a public easement means you can be armed on private property traversed by a sidewalk.

Weasel Wording with Winchester II

WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike F writes:

I contacted Winchester Customer Support and got the same response that the other gentleman received.

The same non-response…

Based on the number of gun owners contacting them, that is, a handful, they feel they can ignore inquiries. That tells us something about their management. It also tells us about something else.

It’s nice to know they’re not all like that.

Speaking of Zero Tolerance for FFL Errors…

*Glock 22 40 caliber REVOLVER??
*Glock Model 27 45 (it is supposed to be a 40)
*Browning B799 (it should be a BT-99) 12 ga

This wouldn’t be a big deal, but…the ATF is shutting down gun dealers for minor paperwork errors… [More]

I came across this 2008 post while looking for something else. The original link to the spreadsheet is no more so I had to download one from the Wayback Machine.

Collective Guilt

“He is unequivocally mentally unstable, and he is racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, vulgar and prone to violence,” Romney said, per the book. “There is simply no rational argument that could lead me to vote for someone with those characteristics. I believe your endorsement of him severely diminishes you morally … and that you must withdraw that support to preserve your integrity and character.” [More]

And remember: Trump is just an avatar.

That’s what My Man Mitthead and the Swamp Vichycons think about anyone who votes for the MAGA agenda.

The Road to Perdition

‘The left has really let us down.’ Why many American Jews feel abandoned [More]

Seeing as how the ones being talked about here spent their adult lives voting me and mine closer to the camp, why should I feel sorry for them?

I saw a troubling Twitter/X post that I believe merits further serious investigation, especially since it looks like we’re all being dragged along for the ride in a politically and media-fueled feeding frenzy that exploits our demands for justice and our fear.

We all have an existential interest in this.

It’s stipulated the person in the video sides with the Palestinians. Can we get a similar stipulation for those stirring the pot? The question for us, as “jurors,” is if her testimony is credible or if we could honestly assign a “guilty” verdict on Hamas misfiring rockets beyond a reasonable doubt.

And yes, of course, we all saw the parachutes. That’s a different discussion. I’m only asking about the hospital incident. If you can demonstrate Sara El-Yafi’s arguments are false, I’m asking you to be an expert witness and educate us on the “jury.”

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Here’s some more fuel for the fire.

Thing is… (grab the video before they block it again)

Feel the Bern

Bernie Sanders siphons off $75,000 in campaign donations to family organization [More]

And like the Sham-Wow! infomercials said, but wait, there’s more!

Now He Belongs to the Ages

Agustin Blazquez’s THE KILLER FLIES OF LUXOR, a novel about an artist’s escape from Cuba into a dream-world of art and movies, illustrates Braque’s insight that “Art is a wound turned into light.” [More]

Readers should remember him from here and from WOG’s previous incarnation.

I’m told that “the book he was working on at the end of his life will be published November 1st and is now available for preorder…”

As always, I never ask readers to support anything I don’t support myself:
