Killer Instinct

“Sometimes people will give him a pass because he will say the right thing and he is a Second Amendment advocate, but then, when you understand this is only because he believes the Second Amendment needs to be used for Black people to protect against White people, you realize he cannot read crime statistics,” Crowder said. “The more you listen to him, you realize he is intensely racist and effectively wrong about everything.” [More]

I have to confess being out of touch with some of the new 2A influencers, because I’ve never even heard of the guy.

One Thing’s for Certain

Point:

Tucker Carlson Claims ‘Terrified’ Dan Bongino Told Him Trump Shut Down Butler Assassination Investigation Himself

Counterpoint:

“More receipts incoming on my show today that the nepo baby is lying again,” he wrote on X. “He’s like Teddy Ruxpin, you put a coin in his back and he tells you a story.”

There’s no misunderstanding or middle ground here. Someone is lying through their teeth. As both are voices of significant political influence, and as this story goes to the heart of everything our system is supposed to stand for, there is no excuse for not exposing and forever discrediting the guilty party(ies).

Is “controlled delivery” anything like walking guns, and how does one ship silencers from China without Chi-com complicity?

Stop Me if You’ve Heard This One Before

A recent burning cross in a Chicago park was not aimed at the city’s black population but at President Donald Trump and white Christian nationalism. The perp wasn’t an angry, racist, white person as Democrats like Mayor Brandon Johnson and others had wished; instead, the flaming cross was admittedly set by a 21-year-old, gay, socialist, Asian-American man.

Good thing hate hoaxes are so rare. Right?

Fortunately, SPLC has come up with an authenticity workaround.

Mollifying Harpies Gets You What?

“First of all, I’m very skeptical of that number, because we have a lot of immigration pathways in the United States of America,” he responded, touting that he believed in uniting America as a big coalition, including those who did not vote for him and Trump. [More]

Yeah, well…

Who watched The View? Why do Republicans feel a need to make concessions to people who hate them regardless?

Or was it a concession?

There’s an Analogy in Here Somewhere

What’s the first rule of Plot Club?

Can you imagine having your mom turn you in?

“Vanguard of the Old”… Good grief.

Singing like a bird and ratting out his low-hanging fruit comrades to save himself now, is he? He’s a “leader” of a Signal chat group that wanted to “jump-start” another American revolution”? Can you imagine this incel blockhead being a “Founding Father”?

And “espousing anti-Semitic beliefs on social media and professing sympathy for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler” is a nice touch. Forgetting for a moment that Hitler was a socialist, it lets Constitutionalists concerned about an Epstein cover-up, the effects of data centers proponents aren’t talking about, and the extent of Israel’s influence over the Republic in general and the administration in particular get lumped right in with the collectivists.

Convenient. That’s one way to silence critics on the “real right” before the midterms. Cui bono? I think Longbow may be on to something.

And I also wonder what real threats, the ones with more serious operatives, might be ready to activate, will catch authorities completely flat-footed, and how many will be allowed to happen for a perceived political advantage.

That’s the problem with betrayed trust in government, isn’t it? You get to where you believe those addicted to power over others are capable of anything, even the ones who sometimes tell you what you want to hear.

Hearing Scheduled for Militia-Based Challenge to VA ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban

553818 militia challenge virginia assault weapon ban hero 1200x800

“Plaintiffs challenge these prohibitions solely under the militia clause of Article I, Section 13 of the Constitution of Virginia. They do not rest their case on the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, nor on the individual right to keep and bear arms also embodied in Article I, Section 13,” the complaint declares. “Their argument is simpler and more fundamental: the militia clause guarantees the existence of a ‘well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms.’” [More]

My Kind of Town

So abandoned yet readily accessible buildings provide shelter for nefarious activities to go basically unchallenged? Who could have foreseen that?

It’s like providing the petri dish and the agar and then acting all surprised when something nasty grows in it.

Funny: As demand for schools went down, Stacy Davis’ compensation has gone up

Don’t worry, though: The population is growing again!

International migration has helped boost Chicago’s population in the past few years. More immigrants moving into Chicago have helped offset the number of residents leaving Illinois.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.
