I’ll be joining in for a bit at around 4:00pm Eastern.
Up in Smoke
THAT’ll Teach ’em
Four teenagers arrested after crashing an allegedly stolen Kia during a police pursuit in Edina have been released from custody as prosecutors weigh charges against two of them… Eden Prairie police spokeswoman Joyce Lorenz said two of those arrested were 16 years old, one was 17 and one was 15. All have been released, Lorenz said. [More]
No, of course we can’t tell you who they are.
Who thinks this is the last we’ll hear of them?

Mexican Standoff

60 Minutes Gets Dragged on Twitter/X Over Story Praising Gun Control Policies in Mexico [More]
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be dragged and often, and by someone who knows how.
They had a chance to sustain real journalism about guns and Mexico with Sharyl Attkisson, but instead decided that didn’t fit the approved narrative. They could’a been contenders instead of DSM bums, which is what they are, let’s face it.

Might as well let ’em know someone’s on to their bullSh!+.

Migrants traversing Darien Gap plummet 40% as Panama cracks down on major route [More]
Think of the rhetoric as a way to get them to turn the flow off at the source. That and get a better deal on transit.
Carter was such a boob.
And all that said, Trump needs to tread gingerly. There is a significant American expatriate community in Panama, and stirring up hatred among those they’re immersed in could backfire bigly.

A Burning Question
Public can’t access fire extinguishers in subway system — and MTA has no plans to change that after horrific murder of woman on F train [More]
What, the one where the useless “Ony Ones” just walked past it while others were askling why aspiring Daniel Penny’s didn’t step forward?
If “Amelia Carter” really is an invented meme (and why wouldn’t we believe “fact-checkers“?) why don’t we know who the “the woman” really was?

Food Fight
A Pennsylvania man convicted of food stamp fraud cannot be barred under federal law from possessing a gun, a U.S. appeals court held for a second time, declining to change its conclusion in light of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that clarified the standard for when a firearms regulation can pass constitutional muster. [More]
I’m thinking over how I’d feel about a lifetime ban for those who imposed one on Bryan Range… or better, add “political power” to the law…

Dumb and Dumber
Bill would require MSP to destroy guns from buyback programs [More]
Great. Make something everybody knows doesn’t work even more of a tax burden.
Not just Democrats, Michigan Democrats…

Fish Story
Reeled in: A DNR rule against carrying guns while fishing has been repealed… “These regulations were intended to aid the DNR in preventing the illegal shooting of fish… [More]
Punish everyone for the illegal acts of a few — where have we seen that before?
Leave it to “state Sen. Kelda Roys, D-Madison, and Sen. Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee” to vote against it because of the Abundant Life Christian School gun-free zone exploitation, which if you think about it, thanks to opportunist control freaks like them, is like shooting fish in a barrel.

YouTube Grinch Steals Gun Owner’s Christmas Gift to Relatives

The simplest explanation is that YouTube agrees with the gun prohibitionists on zero “tolerance” for young people being anywhere near them. [More]
They have subsequently recanted and allowed the video, but too little too late and I’ve had it with them.

Trump and the Republicans can stop this.
Will they?
