Bienvenidos a la Fiesta, Amigos

And all with no hyperventilating accusations of racism…

I guess protest can’t happen unless there they serve cartel interests…

Down the Tubes

Screen shot of page with video I used in las t post:

That’s as tame as I’ve seen– others have been a lot more explicit, forcing a quick reaction when trying to watch something with my three-year-old granddaughter on my knee. I’ve contacted them before, a few times now, and always get a hollow, no-reply response:

They know about it:

Explicit ads are plaguing YouTube and it’s only getting worse

And they’re incentivized not to fix it:

What can you do to protect yourself from inappropriate ads on YouTube? The easiest (but probably not the most pocket-friendly) way to protect yourself from bad ads on YouTube is to get a YouTube Premium subscription.

These are the same bastards who told me “We wanted to let you know our team reviewed your content, and we think it violates our child safety policy,”about an innocent family video sent as a Christmas gift to my wife and my parents.

UPDATE

And again…

Speaking Candidly

The 2026 National Rifle Association Board of Directors election is approaching. Who’s running? How many incumbents are there? Who was nominated by the committee? Who’s on the ballot via petition? [More]

With the way every single one of them, so-called “reform” and “Old Guard,” has been silent on the greatest threat to 2A, the way to preemptively avoid Trump administration betrayals, and the great test now facing gun owners in Virginia that will set the tone for the midterms, I’m with Capt. Butler:

The Group That Wasn’t

Politicians and pundits are denying that the left-wing anarchist group exists, mocking President Trump’s designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization. [More]

Funny, the same deniers have no problem calling Three Percenters not just a hate group, but a militia, despite former Marxist Mike Vanderboegh’s purposeful definition:

The Three Percent idea, the movement, the ideal, was designed to be a simple, powerful concept that could not be infiltrated or subjected to agents provocateurs like many organizations that I observed in the constitutional militia movement of the 90s… The Three Percent idea, being an idea, is internalized and finds expression in action when required without any top-down organization issuing orders…

That there are groups that call themselves Three Percenters shows a fundamental misunderstanding, which is not surprising when you see their websites make no mention of the founder of the concept.

So, what’s the difference?

That’s easy:

But as I have said before in other places and at other times, we are today in fact two nations — as they were in 1775 — divided by the answer to this fundamental question: Does the government serve the people or do the people serve the government? Whatever the individual issue that we fight over these days, the answer always boils down to that. Who serves whom? Do we serve the government of does the government serve us as the Founders intended?

Oh, but Antifa are anarchists? They don’t believe in government? And the reason communism hasn’t worked is because no on has done it “right”?

The ones who intend to rule don’t care what the useful idiots they’re dispatching at this stage of the takeover believe. Once they’re no longer useful it’ll be their turn in the lime pit.

You Can’t Offload NRA Responsibilities on TPUSA

Guess who else could.

Sure, TPUSA could be a big factor, but you can’t offload NRA’s responsibilities to mobilize its members on them. Why there has been silence on this from NRA “reform” directors is a question only you guys can answer.

And do it in more than a one-liner on X.com. Analyze Fusaro’s proposal and strategy, and if there are specific areas where you can offer improvements, do so.

Because the economy plan isn’t going to work and is going to end up exposing that nothing in Fairfax has really changed despite all the noise.

You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet!

GOA says “Yikes!”

It’s all part of that bipolarity we’ve been talking about.

Fortunately, there’s a cure. We’ve even got the legal wrangles and alternatives figured out.

Except none of the rice bowl groups want to play. They say they have their own contacts, and apparently perceived exclusivity if their priority. Except that means things get done in secret with our rights that we may not agree with– as has happened before and will happen again — and the bipolar disappointments and flat-out reneging and betrayals will continue, the groups will continue to walk on eggshells so no administration feathers are ruffled, and popular 2A cheerleaders will convince a critical mass that it’s not only a good thing, but masterful 3D chess.

Ohio Action Alert

The Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) was shelved last December, and lawmakers have done nothing to advance it in nearly a year. Which means the critical time for action is NOW! … With complete republican control in Ohio, there is no excuse for the lack of pro-gun wins in 2025, so let your elected officials know you are displeased with their lack of support for the Second Amendment. [More]

Yeah we can expect better than redundancy and “Only Ones.”

We’re the Only Ones Vigilantist Enough

Dad charged with killing his 14-year-old daughter’s rapist now running for sheriff: ‘It’s about restoring trust’ [More]

While I can sympathize:

A. He’s a prohibited person until he can get charges dismissed and would be a sheriff who can’t have a gun and is likely to go to prison.

and

B. I have to put my trust in respecting due process, not in giving enforcement powers to a man who has already proven he would deny it.

Pipe Dreams

A detailed analysis of the Jan. 6 pipe bombs found new problems with the FBI evidence and advances the notion that the case could turn out to be a government-created hoax. [More]

I’d ask why this isn’t the lead story in all the major newspapers and networks, but I know better.

House Oversight didn’t carry that one to the finish, either.

We’re the Only Ones Secondary Enough

Abigail Spanberger has consistently aligned herself against law enforcement. For the PBA to throw its support behind her is not only baffling — it is reckless, tone-deaf, and dangerous. [More]

That’s shallow thinking, to believe the primary function of the union is to protect its members. The primary function is to advance subversion, and when it comes to that, it’s understood by the commissars that their individual “causes” will take a back seat to that.

Mass. Hysteria

Three people were hospitalized after they were injured Saturday afternoon in a shooting in Mattapan, according to Boston police. [More]

Huh. We were just talking Boston and the Massachusetts Democrats who won’t let you defend yourself.

So why won’t the purveyors of “our democracy” let the people vote on that? And now Orwellian is “protect[ing] Mass. gun laws from upcoming ballot question” as opposed to protecting the right of citizens to vote on their own safety?

Looks like the violence monopolists succeeded– the measure didn’t make the list.

Rules for Rules

Sen. Johnson introduces legislation to fix serious problems in Ohio… SB 278 seeks to add teeth to the law by giving individuals the power to seek punitive damages against cities that pass gun control measures… SB 279 would make it illegal for a business, state agency, or political subdivision from preventing an off-duty law enforcement officer from carrying a firearm. [More]

So those who would impose new laws on us willfully violate what’s already on the books with impunity? Yeah, punishing Democrats would be nice. Too bad it’s not the politicians themselves who have to pay but the poor tax slobs they already overburden.

As for off-duty cops, yeah, I know, it’s another carve out for “Only Ones,” but like I said in my Firearms News report exposing the illegal rule at Youngstown State’s stadium and citing existing Ohio Revised Code:

[T]he issue here is YSU officials do not have authority to override state preemption on gun laws and impose local prohibitions.

So, basically, we’re talking two new laws to enforce two existing laws.

And here you thought government was ludicrously overblown, redundant, and wasteful…

Speaking of Ethics in Journalism

While going through some old stuff, I came across a post about some hysterical hand-wringing by an “Authorized Journalist/real reporter” over Ohio’s permitless carry bill:

A Republican permitless carry gun law will bring Ohio more death

Reality, of course, has shown that to be utter nonsense.

I challenged the claim and the methodology behind it at the time, and invited the author to respond. Lo and behold:

I’ve learned everything I need to about you, Craig Calcaterra.

We’re the Only Ones Torched Enough

Blue city street takeover suspects torched police cruiser in ‘hell-bent’ attack on cops: union chief [More]

‘Takeover” = conquest. Temporary, for now.

In other words, Democrat cities can’t only not protect you, the Only Ones can’t protect themselves and they won’t allow you to protect yourself.

I wonder what Sam Adams and John Hancock would have had to say about that.

Looking around for more information on Boston lawlessness, I found a hypocritical excuse for a projected homicide increase:

…small increases in homicides look large in percentage terms

What have I been saying about the grabbers using rates to try and paint low population red states with concentrations of blue as more violent? A few incidents within a smaller overall population will yield a higher RATE than many incidents within a larger population.
