Daily Defense

I’m wondering what we could possibly have to talk about. To find out, go to the Armed American Radio website to stream and listen/watch live, or to find a broadcast radio station near you.

That’s the Old Pepper!

A fully-discharged bottle of bear spray was discovered at the scene. The bear was apparently unimpressed! [More]

As previously noted:

The problem is, U.S. Geological Survey researcher Tom Smith has documented cases where pepper spray has proven to be an attractant, and observed “bears on their backs, paws skyward, vigorously rubbing their heads and back in the red pepper-sprayed gravel.”

Snuffles comes to mind.

SIG Events

New Hampshire-based firearms company Sig Sauer plans a $150 million expansion of its Elite Performance Ammunition manufacturing facility in Jacksonville to help fulfill its contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. [More]

Great, but help me out here.

What does provisioning the standing army have to do with “defending the Second Amendment” and “reaffirming Arkansans’ right to keep and bear arms…”?

Flight of the Nazgûl 

Ninth Circuit issues partial stay in California large-capacity gun magazine case – The four dissenting judges railed against the majority decision, calling the Ninth Circuit’s attitude about the Second Amendment “laughably absurd.” [More]

Except this is no laughing matter.

The Ninth Circuit wrote the book on Second Amendment absurdity going back to their “no individual right” days when the late, dunderheaded Cynthia Holcomb Hall wrote:

Moreover, even if we determined that Hickman had standing to sue for violation of the Second Amendment, his suit would nevertheless fail because the Second Amendment is not incorporated into the Bill of Rights.

The Slaughter of the Lambs

HAMAS terrorists massacred at least 40 babies and kids in a sickening rampage in one town – with some found beheaded, Israel claimed. [More]

The operative word here is “claimed.” While I put no atrocity beneath those murderous savages, we accept what the DSM feeds us as Gospel at our peril.

And at the risk of P!$$!ng off everyone jumping on the wagon those with hor$e$ in the race want us on, I’ll observe that massacring babies in horrible and agonizing ways is not unique to Hamas.

Attack of the Nepo Collectivists

Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today’s announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country. [More]

Who better to turn to for shared values than Cheatin ‘ Kerry and Lyin’ Kathleen?

Or silver spoon SJW Rory or … what kind of insufferably self-inflated egotist would refer to himself on social media as “Honorable”…?

In terms of Bobby Jr., as I’ve noted before, I’m in the middle of his Fauci Covid fraud book— it’s great. That said, he’s not “one of us,” and it’s in our interests to let those within our spheres of influence know why.

Calling All Subhumans

I was surprised to wake up this morning and discover that many MAGAnuts had lost their minds over my suggestion that “Coach” Tuberville not be considered a member of the human race. [More]

That’s not what he said.

And the smug maniac has endorsed worse than that on tens of millions of us. Hey, it’s not like vermin don’t deserve it…

But thanks for “MAGAnuts,” you gernocidal piece of $h!+. You’ve proven my point.

A Good First Step

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced Tuesday that 10,000 assault rifles are being purchased and distributed to civilian security teams in communities along the country’s borders. [More]

This isn’t a case of just handing out rifles to civilians like they did in Ukraine:

Civilian security teams provide security to small towns and communities in Israel’s periphery and in West Bank settlements, some of which helped defend residents from the Hamas invasion on Saturday before the IDF was able to arrive.

But like Ukraine, what the government giveth, the government taketh away:

Approximately three years ago, the IDF began taking away firearms from some of these security teams due to the repeated theft of such weapons … they were essentially unarmed during Hamas’s invasion.

“Gun control” kills.

As the World Turns

Biden Welcomed 4 Million Illegal Migrants Within 26 Months [More]

Good thing that where they came from, what their backgrounds are, what their health is, and what agendas they may have are not as important to those arranging all this is as how they’ll vote — as we’re told is their right.

No worries: They’re working on it.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Still no serious takers, though…

Shallow Media Treatment of ‘Accidental’ Shooting Leaves Public Open to Manipulation

It also shows the danger of lazy journalism when a news organization asks no questions/does no independent research, and essentially copies a government press release. To paraphrase the late Paul Harvey, “And now, the rest of the story…” [More]

Another “accidental child gun death” warranting the government to issue a word of caution to the public? How do you “accidentally” shoot your child four times, and would it be too much to ask “professional journalists” to even acknowledge the unexplained disconnect?

Way Off Base

Former Dodgers star Steve Garvey jumps into the California Senate race as a Republican [More]

He’s got plenty of “I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you” happy-talk platitudes, but where does he stand on anything? And have California Republicans learned anything from the last time they backed celebrity over principle?

At least we know Garvey’s got the screw constituents and duck the fallout part down…

This guy’s got more shady baggage than Sam Brinton…

We’re the Only Ones Gotta Catch ’em All Enough

Dashcam footage released by the Los Angeles Police Department captured two former police officers ignoring a robbery call to play Pokémon Go. Officers Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell were fired in 2018 after an internal investigation and disciplinary review panel ruled they violated department policy by failing to respond in 2017 to multiple backup calls for a robbery, “despite being parked directly across the street.” The officers then lied about playing the popular mobile phone game… [More]

What took so long to release it?

From the department that enforces disarmament laws against you…

Meanwhile, their shameless lawyer complains “The right to privacy of the officers is really what was at issue here.”
