Hopefully there’s documentation. What a hoot it would be to see them have their 501(c)(4) classification revoked, and one of their mouthpieces get disbarred over ethics.

We’re the Only Ones Homicidal Enough

Three years ago, Detective Daniel Leyden shot and killed his girlfriend, Deputy Abigail Bieber, before turning the gun and killing himself. It was the third murder-suicide involving Hillsborough County deputies within five years. [More]

And the LEO/”civilian” divide isn’t just localized.

Just think of all the situations and places where they can have a gun and you can’t. Then ask yourself what the state is unleashing on the rest of us.

Calculated Failure

How the 9th Circuit Misfires on the 2nd Amendment [More]

That’s presuming they’re just wrong instead of evil.

Grover promotes that kind of $#!+ to wheedle donations from thick-headed “moderates.”

Lest Ye Be Judged

Obama Judge Says to Hell with the Supreme Court, Orders Trump DOJ to Turn Over Docs Related to Decision to Revoke ‘Protected Status’ for Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants [More]

Millions of Democrat cultists are fine with inferior courts imposing their subversion on the rest of the Republic, and they have enough representation to block a fix by Congress. At some point, Trump will need to exercise executive prerogative.

If Only They’d Disarm You and Me…

How many Maryland “gun law” violations can you count?

And there’s the obligatory Kris Brown quote, claiming “guns are ‘the number one killer’ of children and teens…”

The Name of the Game

As Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Joe Biden was intimately involved in the subsequent investigation. A few months after the investigation was triggered, Barack Obama announced Joe Biden would be the Vice-Presidential nominee. Does that answer your question? [More]

It’s not the blackmail, it’s that so many can be extorted with it.

Superiority Complex

MA Superior Court Declares “Suitability” & “Discretionary” Licensing Constitutional [More]

An Old Playbook

“With that done, power can rewrite history with grotesque false narratives. They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity is now described as illegal. Equity is to be shunned. Inclusion is a dirty word. This is an old playbook, my friends. There’s nothing new in this.” [More]

He’s right. It is an old playbook.
