UNCLE!

We’re coming up on the end of the week and I haven’t even gotten to news tips sent in yesterday morning yet. Sorry, but the article work that lets me do all this has to come first, and I’ve been up to my neck in that, with a pending article on Merchant Category Codes for Firearms News and the “Active Shooter” Alert bill for AmmoLand.

I’ll get to what I can but chances are I won’t get to most.

Thanks for understanding.

Those Who Can’t

As a teacher, I attended the National Education Association convention last week, and my worst fears were confirmed… From what I observed, the NEA’s goal is for public education to be a training ground for political activism, while demonizing anyone—including students and their families—who does not share those same political and sociological beliefs. [More]

Good grief. How long have you been a teacher? Because I’m not one and I could have told you that decades ago.

The Company They Keep

Ron Paul Institute Hosts UN Weapons Inspector Who Was Jailed on Child Sex Charges [More]

Just because you rightly mistrust the West on its Ukraine assertions is no reason to unquestioningly embrace a Russian apologist:

Believe him and his adherents if you like, but some of us aren’t going to kneejerk swallow fantastic allegations without actual evidence, especially when they come from someone who helped the United Nations implement arms control treaties and who was later “found guilty of unlawful contact with a minor and five of six other charges after a three-day trial in Monroe County Court on charges stemming from an online sex sting.”

The Congressman might want to keep a closer eye on what and who is being promoted under his name.

In the Regulatory Scheme of Things…

Court records state store owner Jon Whitley told Berkely County Sheriff Deputies he bought a replica Glock BB gun and placed it among the other real firearms “with the intent of pranking his friend,” identified as 36-year-old Stefan Mrgan, an employee of the store. Whitley mistakenly picked up a real firearm instead of the replica, pointed it at the victim, and fired, the affidavit states. [More]

Inexcusable. And the moron is still in business?

Nonetheless, OSHA inserting itself into the equation recalls a warning from the past, which I’ll probably dredge up again soon.

We’re the Only Ones Inconsequential Enough

Two police officers who wrongly arrested a Coralville man for being an impaired driver without any evidence and locking him up in jail for nearly three months didn’t lose their jobs or face any consequences that were made public. [More]

It sounds like they’re not the “only ones” who need to be held accountable.

I hear stuff like this and my first thought is how could anyone so wrong another human being and not be consumed with guilt and a life priority to atone and make amends.

Then another voice says “Grow up. This is why people who don’t victimize others must never allow themselves to be disarmed.”

The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!

Somebody’s bot wants into “comments” here bad:

                                                                  Open in new tab to enlarge.

И тебе доброе утро, солнышко.

What I can’t tell is if this is just a routine criminal exploitation of opportunity attempt or if this is directed because I don’t buy Putin’s line of sh!+ any more than I buy the globalists’.

Until now, Russia has not been among the top 10 IPs or countries blocked (The U.S. leads by far: We’re Number One!).  Attack attempts so far have been mostly via malicious file uploads and known malicious user agents.

And not to be outdone, I just got a series of five warnings about this:

A user with IP address 78.182.154.49 has been locked out from signing in or using the password recovery form for the following reason: Exceeded the maximum number of login failures which is: 20. The last username they tried to sign in with was: ‘admin’.
The duration of the lockout is 4 hours.
User IP: 78.182.154.49
User hostname: 78.182.154.49.dynamic.ttnet.com.tr
User location: Istanbul, Turkey

You gotta wonder what kind of total @$$hole parasites dwell in such dark worlds, with a life purpose goal of helping themselves by hurting others.

It’s a Big Club and You Know How the Rest of It Goes

Hunter Biden was longtime friends with a well-connected lawyer and lobbyist with deep roots in DC Republican politics — who praised him as a “rock star” and “beacon of hope.” [More]

He “served on former President Trump’s 2016 transition team”?

This swamp thing?

Proud of his working relationship with Norman Mineta, is he…?

Come Point and Laugh at the Wacky Right-Wingers!

The HANDBOOK OF HATE MEMES bundles over 200 full-color pages with over 600 hate memes carefully arranged into 100 topics, covering QAnon conspiracy theories, COVID-19 disinformation campaigns, Russia–Ukraine propaganda, and more, with commentary by PVE/CVE experts from academia, law enforcement and the tech industry. If you ever wondered whether we are secretly ruled by alien reptilian overlords, when the Dark Enlightenment’s acceleration will begin, what the tailless amphibian wildlife in Kekistan is like – look no further. [More]

The Europeans are going a little heavy on the Alinsky Rule 5 Ridicule and that makes me think there must be a reason…

As long as we’re skewering ludicrous conspiracy theories, I wonder if they have anything on gun control working, a global violence monopoly being our salvation, the efficacy of Covid shots and masks, “climate change,” “systemic racism,” men getting pregnant,  diversity being our strength, drag queen story hour teaching tolerance to children, the J6 “insurrection”…

The Blame Game

Texas mother sues Academy after selling daughter the gun used in her suicide [More]

The store is supposed to employ mind readers? Not knowing a store is closed and coming back the next day are hardly unmistakable clues.

Sorry, lady. You had a lot more time to influence your daughter’s behavior than they ever did.

My natural human sympathy takes a real hit the second they turn to some scumbag lawyer and jeopardize our right to buy and sell arms.

UPDATE

They’ve been through this once before and were vindicated. Recalling that, I hope they sue the crap out of the plaintiff and file a bar complaint against her lawyer.
