Man Photographed with Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Routh Receives Presidential Medal of Freedom From Joe Biden [More]
And remember: Trump is an avatar.
Tell me Biden’s handlers didn’t know exactly what they were doing.

The Bottom Line
Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has emerged as a late and leading contender to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, three Republicans familiar with the process say. [More]
I have a bad feeling about this:
Husted did not clarify the difference between what he supports and a red flag law. “The bottom line is Governor DeWine and I support second amendment rights,” said Husted. “We support freedom loving Americans who want to exercise those rights, but we also want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are not legally allowed to own them.”
We know that doesn’t work.
Aligning himself with DeWine is a big red flag in itself.

The Dead Samaritan
Three charged with murder after body of good Samaritan who left his home to help a stranded motorist was found beside burning car [More]
Tbere’s nothing lower and more deserving of execution.
Was one of the killers the guy who asked for help? Because the vampire/invite trope comes to mind.
Not to blame the victim, but a grown man with a family ought to know better. My response, without exposing myself, would be to let the stranger know I was dialing 911 to get him help.

Shamsud We Hardly Knew Ye
The terrorist who killed 14 people and hurt 35 more in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year’s Day prepositioned bombs that used an extraordinarily rare explosive compound, senior law enforcement officials have told NBC News. The two devices didn’t detonate, but authorities are scrambling to learn how Shamsud-Din Jabbar was able to incorporate a type of explosive that has never before been used in a terror attack in America or Europe.

So why are they so sure he was a “lone wolf”?
And all those unanswered questions about the Las Vegas “moderate”…
Kinda makes you wonder why some gun owners adamantly advocate believing what the government allow us to see about school shooters…

Speaking of Much Ado About Nothing
H.R. 129: To abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives… 2% chance of being enacted [More]
Just more self-serving noise that distracts from doing the doable.
And I note there’s no text yet, but here’s one reality you can take to the bank: The only thing that will change is the men behind the masks enforcing NFA, GCA, Hughes, Lautenberg, and all the other infringements.

Much Ado About Nothing
Cornyn and senators tell ATF director no new policies before Trump takes over [More]
They know any new rule will require a comment period extending into the new administration, which can kill it, but it’s a way to make gun owners think they’re doing something for them.
But enforce existing Intolerable Acts, right, Mr. Bipartisan Safer Communities Act?

The ‘Convicts’ Tar Vanishes
US newspapers are deleting old crime stories, offering subjects a ‘clean slate’ [More]
So now it’s the job of “Authorized Journalists” to suppress relevant information. My “For ‘progressives,’ every day is Opposite Day” adage just keeps proving itself.
That’s one way for authorities to absolve themselves of the predictable results of catch-and-release.

The only thing controversial is why anyone still watches CNN.

The Cognitive Dissonance… It Burns
The national Liberal Gun Club said it has received thousands of training requests since the election, more than in all of 2023. A spokesperson for the group estimated that roughly a quarter were from LGBTQ people. In Philadelphia, in the waning weeks of the year, residents peppered local queer Facebook groups with questions about guns and training. The local chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association, a leftist analogue to the National Rifle Association, said it saw a surge in paid memberships; [More]

‘Fact Checker’ Meltdown
Doltish reporters Rebecca Shabad and Ryan J. Reilly breathlessly reported that “Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., falsely claimed in a lengthy post on X this morning that ‘thousands of peaceful grandmothers’ gathered Jan. 6, 2021, to take a tour of the U.S. Capitol building and that people peacefully explored the building.” They go on and on about “false” and “untrue” claims in Collins’ post, including some assertions that aren’t false.
