We’re the Only Ones Pyrotechnic Enough

Sheriff’s lieutenant with million-pound fireworks stash led to deadly blast, prosecutors say [More]

This one particularly grinds my gears because I used to work in the fireworks industry in California, initially brought in to help fight multiple municipal ballot measures to ban them. The “rationale” was to blame tepid “safe and sane” fountains for the illegal stuff brought in from Pahrump and beyond.

When I think of what we had to go through to operate in compliance, the worthy nonprofit efforts that were denied a great fundraising tool, the sanctimonioius blue noses who demanded their prejudice ruin things for everybody, and the Democrats who led the efforts to ban them, let’s just say I would not be a very fair juror.

To Each According to Their Need

Zohran Mamdani’s NYC: Machete-Wielding Subway Attacker Was a Repeat Offender [More]

Well, if New York Democrats weren’t racist…

Say, does that “median household wealth” distinguish between those who work and those who don’t?

Wiping Off the MAP

WaPo Editor Pleads Guilty in Federal Child Porn Case… He was part of the newsroom team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for investigative reporting tied to coverage of Roy Moore’s Senate campaign. [More]

So he had three fingers pointing back at him?

What is it about WaPo award winners?

What is it about Pulitzer?

Did someone say “Morbark”?

Fear is the Mind-Killer

Maryland LGBT Community Arming Up Over Fears [More]

Unfortunately, the source being The Liberal Gun Club is a stong indicator that they continue to vote for thier disarmers. I’ve pinned the cognitively dissonant down on that before:

We are Democrats, and as such we will support our party’s nominees for local, state, and federal office.

The other impression most will walk away with is they need to arm because of violent white homophobic males.

Really?

It’s Nothing Less Than Existential

Birthright Citizenship: American Sovereignty Dangling By a Thread in the Supreme Court… The future of the United States of America is at stake. [More]

And it will be a very different country the next two or three generations grow up in, despite what critics with louder voices opine.

None Dare Call It Hate Speech

“I hate Republicans,” Piker said on “Pod Save America.” “I oppose them. I say that all the time. I think that the Republicans are far more damaging. The biggest terrorists, the biggest domestic terrorist in this country, the biggest terrorist internationally is the Republican Party. And not only that, but it’s just like, they … I want to fight against the growing fascist movement in this country.” [More]

I just don’t believe he doesn’t realize Mussolini said:

“Do not imagine that by tearing up my membership card in the Socialist Party you can forbid my socialist faith or prevent me from continuing to work for the cause of socialism and the revolution”

Maybe he’s resorting to a form of Taqqiya:

Hasan Doğan Piker was born on July 25, 1991, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, to Turkish parents. He grew up in Istanbul and was raised as a Muslim.

I know, I know: Give it another generation of two.

In the meantime, The Newsraper of Record says he’s not the enemy, which I guess means Republicans are.

Biden… Excuse Me, I Mean Trump Administration Coming After Pistol Braces… Again

He not only made numerous promises to Americans regarding the Second Amendment, but he also specifically referenced the pistol brace rule, going so far as to say he would tear it up immediately upon moving back into the White House. How then have we arrived at the current impasse? [More]

This is a brave article when you realize the epic fury of the MINOs (MAGA in Name Only) will be vented not at the serial breaker of campaign promises, but at the writer and the magazine. I say this as someone who has prompted more than one demand for a publisher to choose between firing me or having their subscription cancelled.

Here’s the thing before dismissing this as “blackpilling”: Find one charge made that’s not documented. Pointing out his betrayals is not a betrayal of him. To not point them out would be a betrayal of ourselves.

Those of us calling Trump and his administration to task have offered course correction after course correction to steer things right again, only to see him ignore us and order full ramming speed. And it could have all been avoided with some simple inclusion.

If the Dems take it all it won’t be because of Cassandras’ urgent warnings. It will be because those warnings were unheeded, suppressed, ignored, disparaged, denounced, and ridiculed.

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

“We’re going to make the case on why this new gunshot detection technology, as well as license plate readers, our real time center, more cameras, all this technology, gives us more intelligence, gives us more data to keep our streets safe,” Bibb said. [More]

“Safe”…?

Of course Bibb’s a member!

And I like how the biggest objection his Menshevik rivals have is the data could be shared with ICE.

At least we’re not Detroit!

Behind Every Silver Cloud is a Dark Lining

The principal of Pauls Valley High School was injured on Tuesday afternoon when authorities said he tackled a gunman entering the school. Kirk Moore was shot in the leg and airlifted to the hospital. Authorities said his injuries were non-life-threatening. [More]

Good on him. He has my impressed respect.

That said, it’s a key gun-grabber argument for why stunted capacity magazine mandates are needed: so that someone else besides them will have time to tackle a shooter while he’s swapping mags.

Getting Drafty In Here

Trump Administration Moves To Automate U.S. Military Draft Registration… While Trump built the campaign that led him back to the White House upon a platform of refusing to drag the country into any new conflicts like the endless cycle of regime change wars in the Middle East that has haunted the United States since the dawn of the new millennium, that promise has been completely broken little more than a year into his second term in the Oval Office. [More]

It’s like he’s trying to break every promise and blow the midterms, be impeached and then prosecuted, and hand the whole thing over to the Dems in ’28.

Blackpilling or observing?

I know… 3D chess!

I Need to Start a Pool

Through the Downtown Ambassador Program, safety ambassadors will roam downtown Thursdays through Sundays from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m., according to Nickie Davis, executive director of the Downtown Community Improvement District. These unarmed ambassadors will serve as “extra eyes” for the Columbia Police Department. [More]

I understand they even have their own patrol vehicle.
