After Action Report

Bearing Arms contributor John Petrolino joins Cam with a first-hand report from the NRA Annual Meetings in Houston, Texas, including some new changes to the leadership structure. [Watch]

It’s probably a good thing I couldn’t go. I’d have put every one of the “Voices of the Second Amendment” (and any officer and director I ran across) on the spot to take the challenge Cam never responded to after I’d taken his.

Salting the Mine

Blanche said the SPLC was paying roughly $270,000 to a member of the leadership group that planned the Unite the Right protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, that resulted in the death of one person and injured dozens more. He added that between 2014 and 2023, SPLC paid at least $3 million to eight people, three of whom were allegedly affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, the Nationalist Socialist Party of America Nazis and the American Front. [More]

They were giving low-hanging fruit the resources to do something stupid that could then be exploited as “proof” of hate being ubiquitous among whites. In other words, they were trying to set up a supply of well-funded “hate” statements and actions they could then exploit to scare more donations from their useful idiot supporters…

There also needs to be a concerted effort to root SPLC influence out of LE, with special focus on FBI affiliations over the years, after they’d said they quit.

Mike would’a had a field day with this.

Along those lines, I was getting ready to post this when a “great minds think alike” link came across the transom:

Vanderboegh’s Revenge

It includes SPLC reveling in his death and blog closure under it’s “Hate Watch” heading and a link to “Lies of Omission.” Interestingly, Google’s algorithm (something I’ve noticed in the past suppresses my stuff) is also disappearing Mike’s work: Do a search for “Sipsey Street Irregulars” and find a link to the actual blog.

Point of order: I believe Mike’s “last public appearance” was this:

Here’s the link Google doesn’t want to share. And if Blogspot ever spikes it, go to The Wayback Machine. That’s where the archive is for our joint Project Gunwalker reporting.

Shell Game

Woman opens fire on Maryland gas station clerk during attempted robbery… “At approximately 7:43 p.m. April 17 police were called to the Shell gas station in the 7200 block of Cradlerock Way in Columbia for a report of a shooting,” police said in a statement. [More]

Maryland, eh?

Shell, eh?

“Unrelated charges in another state”…? My, aren’t we entitled.

I’m entering this on Tuesday evening. I predict they’ll have identified this stupid, angry, waddling Democrat welfare parasite by the time I’m ready to post it.

Ha! Shantay O’Donnell.

Any relation to Rosie…?

Nationwide Concealed Carry for ‘Elite’ Veterans Will Create a New Class of ‘Only Ones’

It’s the right of the people, not the right of special operators. [More]

What may at first sound like a good idea is not one the Framers would have approved.

Wild in the Streets

The new “American Exceptionalism,” courtesy of Democrat rule… [More]

Heritage Americans are loony, Vivek…?

Mr. Adams would disagree.

When government fails to fulfull its obligations under the Preamble, what’s a citizen it’s trying to disarm to do? Especially when that government breeds, nurtures, sustains, aids and abets the destroyers?

Tales of the Bizarro World

Far Left Anti-Billionaire Group Linked to Bernie Sanders Endorses Billionaire Tom Steyer for Governor of California [More]

The issue never really matters– those are just hooks to bring in disgruntled pawns. The cause célèbre always takes a back seat to the greater goal of conquest through subversion.

When that’s won, the useful idiots will get what’s coming to them.

One Percenter Steyer, of course, wants you disarmed.

He sure is keeping his security measures close to the vest.

This Day in History

“We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father’s name.” – Sam Houston​ Addressing the troops on April 21, 1836.

Think this is what he had in mind they were doing it for?

When Seconds Count

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch said deputies responded to a home in Wilmer just after 2:30 a.m., where they discovered the three bodies in separate rooms with their hands tied behind their backs. The victims were identified as 46-year-old Lisa Gail Fields, who was stabbed; 17-year-old Keziah Arionna Luker, who was shot; and 12-year-old Thomas Cordelle Jr., who had his throat cut and was nearly decapitated. [More]

If this were your home, would you be glad you followed this advice?

And yeah, sometimes crucifixion is the answer.

Fight Could Have Been Avoided

DOJ Surrenders its Appeal in Fight Over ATF “Engaged in the Business” Rule… After the enormous pressure brought to bear by gun owners, DOJ is seeking a dismissal allowing the case to return to district court.  [More]

Why was “enormous pressure” needed? What kind of resources had to be expended that now aren’t available to fight other infringements and advance the ball?

Why couldn’t it have been a tick box for the task force?

There I go “blackpilling” again.

What, there’s no room for that in the dialog…?

And what happens after Republicans blow things?

Speaking of Offensive

Amazon removes 1973 novel about the destruction of Western Civilization through mass migration… citing “offensive content”… [More]

It’s what they don’t find offensive that reveals their souls.

Kinda like Disney family values

Ah, well, who wants to read “loser $#!+“?

Now Hiring

Although you might not think so, but this is a huge deal, folks. The United States Department of Justice, including the Office of Civil Rights that fights for our right to keep and bear arms just announced that they’re going to start to hire people that do not live inside the beltway. [Watch]

So… they’re going to be employees, beholden to the hand that feeds them…? They’re going to do what they’re told they can do, and no more…? And not be able to share their disagreements if they want to stay on…? Say, will those eligible include lawyers currently suing ATF and DOJ, or would that be a conflict?

Meanwhile, the people whose lives and freedoms are being decided are still locked out, ears pressed against the door…?

While there are multiple options to include them…?

Now, something like that would be a huge deal.

Flag on the Play

Governor DeWine Orders Flags Lowered in Honor of Former Ohio House of Representatives Member William ‘Bill’ Patmon [More]

The Democrat who opposed “stand your ground” and instead demanded to impose “lock up your safety”…? And said “Everything that looks like a gun and is not should not be on our streets”…?

I think I’ll see if I can raise mine up a notch.

There are no “friends across the aisle.”

And with friends like DeWine
