Voting with Their Wallets

Oregon State Police saw a spike in requests for Firearms Instant Check System (FICS) background requests leading up to and especially following the midterm election. [More]

They’d better hurry:

While many assumed that the implementation date would be 30 days after the election was actually “certified” (given that votes were being counted long after Nov 7th) now we are being told the Secretary of State has no plans to wait and the ban of new gun sales and magazines will begin December 8th.

I have an AmmoLand piece on Measure 114 in the publishing queue.

Roach Clip

Harstfield also said the attack on his food truck was a hate crime, as he is black and gay… Tuesday, Hartsfield was charged with both arson and insurance fraud in connection to the fire that destroyed his food truck. [More]

If you can’t trust the proprietor of a vegan roach coach, who can you trust?

I’ll have the Jussie Smollett special served up with a side of irony, noting who he (allegedly) ended up ripping off on GoFundMe…

And we should preserve this before it goes away:

Adventures in Baselessness

Physical ballots and v-drives were reportedly taken to a closed building without observers present and kept there for six hours before being taken to the counting center. This would shatter the chain of custody along with breaking the law that the ballots go directly to the counting center. The plaintiffs say they can further show the county mailed official ballots to unverified voters and deleted at least 2,778 records of requests for mail-in ballots. [More]

Damn deniers.

We’re the Only Ones Flip-Flopping Enough

“That individual is still out there,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry said during a news conference Wednesday. “We cannot say there is no threat to the community.” [More]

That’s OK, Chief. We didn’t believe you when you said there wasn’t one.

Let’s hope these guys are stepping up and offering training.

A Common Factor

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Delaware’s recently-adopted ban on so-called “assault weapons” on the grounds the legislation—known as House Bill 450—violates the Second Amendment. [More]

Show me a “commonsense gun safety” bill that doesn’t.

The Enemy of My Enemy

President Xi humiliates Trudeau as he is caught on camera tearing strips off Canadian PM… [More]

To paraphrase Rhett Butler, he should be humiliated and often, and by someone who knows how.

Actually, it looks more like the boss dressing an employee down in front of the others.

FIFY FAFO?

Today, the Attorney General sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sky Tactical Supply, warning the company that it is potentially committing criminal offenses by selling the FIFY in California, and is misleading California consumers about their criminal liability if they buy the product. [More]

This stuff makes my head hurt.

Like Mike

Is Michelle Obama Running for Office? [More]

Unless something shockingly heinous is secretly in her background, I have long thought she’d be unbeatable.

As for the “rumor” from Barack’s half-brother, my guess is with today’s electorate, it would work in her favor if true and anyone criticizing her for it would be smeared as a hater.

Speaking of Fascists…

A Portland “anti-fascist” activist has been found not guilty of being a fascist by roughing up a journalist and stealing his phone because he didn’t like what the reporter said about his Antifa friends. After the Portland judge let off the notorious Portland Antifa attacker, he delivered a lecture to the victim, reporter Andy Ngo. [More]

Sometimes, you can judge a book by its cover.

There Can Be Only One

Donald Trump should not get free airtime on CNN and other news networks. Sign this petition immediately. [More]

You can’t have free elections with anyone who’s not a doctrinaire communist running because “our democracy” relies on there only being one side!

And I put in an addendum from “Ultraviolet” complaining that Facebook “fact checkers” aren’t censoring Trump supporters.

These people really don’t want any thought that doesn’t come from them being out there.

Amazing Grace

Very interesting, how four students can be overcome by one person with a knife, not a gun. [Watch]

Very interesting how anti-defensive gun use Nancy Grace can wonder about that.

Those of you who have sent in news tips on this story know I’m holding off on saying more about it until more is known.

Speaking of ‘Systemic’…

Spivey was indicted on the charges of aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault and having weapons under disability. Cleveland police said Spivey shot and killed Delvonte King, 22, and Domonique King, 26, while they were sitting inside a car near the 16100 block of Walden Avenue. [More]

Is it fair to wonder if Spivey was outraged by George Floyd’s death because Black Lives Matter?

It’s a Big Club and You Ain’t In It

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been exchanged on the stock market by our elected officials in 2021 alone. In just equities, Congress bought and sold nearly $290 million throughout the year. In 2021, Congress beat the market! [More]

Did someone say “insider trading”…?

And then, of course, there are other highly lucrative forms of financial compensation that no one seems interested in…

Our Last Best Hope?

The 2022 Mid-Terms Exposed the Existence of Two Americas and the Overwhelming Importance of the 2024 Election [More]

Forgive me if that sounds like a combination of wishful thinking and whistling past the graveyard of history.

Republicans managed to do exactly what I consistently feared. As did their leader. “Stolen elections” notwithstanding, it was their job to make sure that didn’t happen.

And the way things are shaping up for ’24, I see no change in plans.

Got alternative ones?
