No ‘T’-Word?

Why details are limited on the man who opened fire on Fargo Police officers – While we’re starting to get a picture of what he may have been planning, we still don’t have a photograph of Mohamad Barakat. [More]

Who thinks there’d be any holding back Democrats and the DSM if he were a white Christian Nationalist?

Would it be particularly hateful of me if I presumed to ask if the word “rigorous” applies?

Revenge of the Vichycons

Lisa Murkowski should have been out of the U.S. Senate in the 2010 elections, when she was beaten in the Republican primary by Joe Miller. Instead, she conducted a write-in campaign in the general election and managed to survive when Democrats fled from their candidate and wrote her name in to deny Miller, a tea party conservative, an opportunity to serve. And then Murkowski had her allies pass the chaotic, corrupt, and infamous ranked choice voting system, together with a jungle primary, in advance of last year’s election. Had there been a Republican primary, she would have been crushed by Kelly Tshibaka, whom the state GOP endorsed. [More]

Yeah, well, some of us have tried to warn, but our reach is limited.

That must be why I still hear “conservatives” raving about Tim Scott.

We’re the Only Ones Expelling Enough

It’s unknown what brought the officer there, but a probable cause statement said Davis “…deactivated his body-worn camera, did not inform the dispatcher he had a suspect in custody, and instead drove the victim to a remote location… There, the officer pepper sprayed the victim, struck him repeatedly with a baton, and ordered him not to return to the City of Northwoods.” [More]

“Practically never” isn’t good enough.

What Gun Owners Elected Them For

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled that banning large capacity magazines and requiring a permit to purchase a gun falls in line with “the nation’s history and tradition of regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety”… [More]

Thanks, Donald Trump and Senate Republicans!

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

“We estimate that about 70 percent of the guns that end up in Mexico are guns that come from the United States of America,” said Salazar. [More]

They’re counting on short memories.

That’s what happens when you’re confident your operations can abet killing people with impunity and the DSM will cover for you.
