Did Someone Say ‘Mission Creep’?

Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz — putting one-fifth of world’s oil supply at risk [More]

And Trump promises more if they retaliate.

So much for “We’re just going to take out the nukes, honest.”

Did someone way “regime change“?

Let’s see, how do they retaliate?

We strike military targets. They target civilians.

Let’s see what happens to that “increasing appetite” when their people here start doing that. Speaking of which, file this under “WTF?”

I want the Constitution observed. Since this affects me and mine, I want my representatives to weigh in. Calling someone who agrees with that a “pathetic loser” is ad hominem, a logical fallacy. It does not speak well to position or character.

Oh, and I’d like to see the evidence.

Still, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge how we got to this point.

Something About Prohibitionists

“Last night, I was seated first and had a glass of wine,” the woman wrote. Soon after, she was joined by two adults and three children who were seated at her table. The mother of that family turned to the woman and said, “We do not wish to expose our children to women drinking alcohol.” [More]

Those poor kids haven’t got a chance.

I can see the red “Moms Demand” t-shirt now.

Just Here for the Ratio

Anybody see them object to this by one of theirs?

Spoiler Alert

North Carolina Democratic Gov. Josh Stein vetoed his first bills on Friday, blocking for now Republican legislation that would let adults carry concealed handguns without a permit and make state agencies and local sheriffs more active in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. [More]

Was there ever any doubt?

The party that screams “DEMOCRACY!” once again rejects what the people’s representatives voted for.

Oh, look, another North Carolina Democrat politician!

So Much for Text, History, and Tradition

The Fourth Circuit found Wednesday that a federal regulation prohibiting the commercial sale of handguns to those under 21 is constitutionally valid, despite efforts by a group of 18 to 20-year-olds who say they should be able to buy handguns. [More]

“Federal”?

Bondi’s DOJ hasn’t thrown in the towel? Why not?

And I see the DSM is still putting “Reagan appointed” in front of that f_ing treasonous judicial dotard Harvie Wilkinson’s name, as if that somehow makes everything appear “bipartisan”…

Don’t Cry for Me Argentina

President of Argentina Javier Milei signed a decree Wednesday broadening gun rights in the country by allowing Argentine civilians to purchase and possess semiautomatic weapons for the first time in 30 years. [More]

It’s not uninfringed, but it’s a damn sight better than it was.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

The US government skyrocketed the USAID budget for Brazil while Bolsonaro was there. Not to help Brazilians economically, but to flood the political opposition in Brazil with money to try to take him out. [More]

Unsurprisingly

Today’s Low-Hanging Fruit Report

Federal agents thwart man’s explosive alleged plot against officers during LA riots – Store employees alerted authorities after suspect allegedly requested ‘largest explosives available’ to use against law enforcement [More]

So the headline really ought to be “Store employees thwart self-incriminating moron’s…”

Note he had to go to New Mexico because California bans all but so-called “safe and sane” fireworks, the kind that whistle and sparkle, but don’t fly or explode.

As with guns, the Democrat “solution” is to ban them everywhere.

I’m Late, I’m Late

Had a real late night. Had to write an article. Had to deal with problems in the basement resulting from recent storms that I noticed had worsened the other day when we had to retreat there because of two separate tornado warnings.

I’ll see what I can get to with news tip posts for the rest of the day.

Those are my excuses. Anyone still not satisfied, please see my money back guarantee policy in the right sidebar.

Semper Paratus

Former Coast Guard Officer Arrested for Allegedly Making Numerous Trump Assassination Threats [More]

So, when the grabbers use vets to stump for citizen disarmament, we should remember the false authority logical fallacy and that one of the biggest traitors was a “war hero”?
