We’re the Only Ones Flashy Enough

A U.S. Border Patrol agent was briefly arrested last week after attempting to bring a flash-bang grenade through security at McAllen-Miller International Airport in Texas, prompting a police response and raising questions about airport security enforcement and prosecutorial decisions. [More]

Charges were dismissed against him but not against a “civilian’ who forgot his handgun in his carry-on.

I’m not buying the “probable cause” excuse. This looks more to me like another case of “professional courtesy.”

Suffer the Children

Ally Kotetsu, who describes himself as “a non-binary transgender woman who is transrace Japanese,” is campaigning both online and in public through an effort he calls Beyond the Plus, which advocates for the rights of “beings who are romantically or sexually attracted to beings who are below the age of 18.” [More]

Disparaging Armed Citizens Undermines Trump Administration’s Credibility

Maybe it’s time to stop dousing the fire in gun owner bellies, especially with top administration officials making inane comments that spit in the faces of Second Amendment activists — the very people Republicans need to win. [More]

In what reality is making core constituents feel like they’re being used smart politics?

L-a-a-ambert!

This guy got arrested at a Christmas parade in Florida for wearing a body armor vest concealed under his shirt. The problem is, that wasn’t illegal. I saw this in the news, with cops taking a victory lap and Karens rejoicing about it, so I put in a request for the footage, and just got it. And it’s worse than I even thought it would be. Lawful conduct does not become illegal just because police officers – or Karens – are afraid of something. My rights don’t end where your fear of some perfectly legal object begins. [Watch]

Those “citizens” grateful to the “Only Ones” remind me of nothing so much as the sheep bleating for Lambert to save her.

Why would communists be afraid of them?

Grok This

The Tumbler Ridge school shooting is confirmed, with reports of 9-10 deaths and 25+ injuries. Some media outlets name 17-18-year-old transgender Jesse Strang as the shooter, citing family sources, with claims of starting transition at 15 and being on SSRIs. However, official police statements have not yet confirmed the identity or these specifics. [More]

Why not?

See, this is why I didn’t post speculation as fact yesterday. Fox News ID’s him as Jesse Van Rootselaar.

Oh, this is why:

Mother killed by transgender Canadian school shooter son had called out trans hate…Jennifer Strang, mom of 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar…

That’s what happens when useful idiots outlast their usefulness. And it looks like she sacrificed her other kid on that altar.

Is that the rifle? If so, will it be open season on Fudds?
