Flip or Flop

No Surprise: Tulsi Gabbard Flip-Flops on Spying in Desperate Bid to Save Nomination… (REALLY EASY IQ Test: Are you surprised by any Gabbard flip-flop?)… (REALLY TOUGH IQ Test: Has Gabbard actually changed her position on anything, ever?) [More]

That’s what I want to know.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Major Victory’ Is

GOP Lawmakers Might Be Poised to Score a Major Second Amendment Victory [More]

If you call further codifying permits for rights as the national standard, continued state infringements, and salvaging deservedly tarnished reputations a “major victory”…

Not that it will pass. Or not be tied up in courts until the pendulum swings back to Democrats.

We’re the Only Ones Improbable Enough

LAPD Has ‘No Probable Cause’ to Charge Wildfire Suspect Carrying Blowtorch With Arson [More]

But Gavin Newsom, the Democrats, and the DSM have enough to convict climate change and Donald Trump in the court of public opinion.

So, it’s not just climate change…?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

They’re oblivious to what unforgiveable Nazis deserving of being chased away howling they are, aren’t they?

My Mom always wondered what it was her kid brother died for.

Why are we still committed to defending this tyranny again…? I’d not only not die for these people, I wouldn’t even send them a gun.

CO Democrats Selective in Which Rights They Shred

New Concealed Carry Law Takes Effect July 1 – Plus a Lib Bonus: Vehicle Weapons Now Must Be Locked Up [More]

I don’t suppose being forced to take an eight-hour course and pass a written exam to vote is in the cards…

Coloradans take note. You’ll find no more staunch defender of all rights from government abuses than Mr. Gramlich & Co.

You can subscribe for hard copy or online editions. It sure beats the DSM.

Moment in the Spotlight

Should you intervene in a mass attack? Is defending a third person legally different from defending yourself? Do you have a duty to retreat in these situations? And what practical considerations should you weigh, like your physical safety and the chaos of multiple 911 calls? Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Richard Hayes discuss whether you should stop a mass attack, the legal and practical risks of defending others, and how to protect yourself responsibly in high-threat situations. [More]

Having time to think about it, my inner Rick Blaine wins. Responsible people make their own preparations and irresponsible ones disparage armed citizens.

Without having time to reflect, I suppose the unique situation itself would steer my decision and repercussions would be the last thing on my mind. I know from past experience where I felt the end was near my instincts have been to focus and act, not freeze, and do my shaking afterward.

We’re the Only Ones Penetrating Enough

Sergeant Weaver has also been charged with Sexual Assault, and former Officer Krasley has been charged with Kidnapping, Involuntary Sexual Intercourse and Intimidation of a Witness… [More]

I see “Allentown Police Department limited who can comment on this post.” I wanted to ask them how someone could go for years and rise to the rank of sergeant and this is the first inkling anybody had that something might be off with him.

I got dragooned as an alternate for jury duty years ago, a pimping and pandering case that trotted out scumbag vice cops, irredeemable whores, and twitchy-eyed johns, and couldn’t decide who was more contemptible and pathetic, including the defendant, whom I see has gotten into more trouble since, and her defense attorney, who played the strong woman card until she decided it was time for the tactical decisions to play the tears of victimhood for jury sympathy card.

They vote for a government that won’t allow them to protect their lives and their property…? One that wants to forcibly disarm me?

How bad for them am I supposed to feel?
