Epstein files – The War on Guns

The X-Files

Trump admin releases highly anticipated files… [More]

No, not the ones Pam Bondi sat on…

These won’t really tell us anything, either.

The truth is in there.

Quis Custodiet ipsos Custodes?

When you control the people who do the arresting you never have to worry about being arrested. [More]

The “Why didn’t the Biden administration go after Trump?” deflection answers itself when you realize MAD doctrine has been invoked.

Or are those of us not satisfied acting like a “petulant child” because we don’t understand legal technicalities?

Greene with Envy?

Greene recounted a tense exchange with Trump after she suggested inviting the victims to the Oval Office, during which he threatened, “My friends will get hurt.” That confrontation marked the final straw in their relationship, cementing her decision to step away from Congress after two terms. [More]

IF he actually said that. And if that was the final straw.

I’m no Trump über alles defender, especially over this, but I need more than leftist media exploiting MTG, who either is unaware they’re using her to destroy Republican midterm chances, or more likely, knows full well she’s being destructive but stands to personally gain from all the noise.

In Like Flynn

.@realDonaldTrump I hesitated to write this however, with the utmost respect and deference to you for all you’ve withstood (few know it better than me what the “deep state” can do when they want to turn on a person). The EPSTEIN AFFAIR is NOT about who killed him or if he…

So, what’s the holdup?

A False Argument

As seen in reader comment at Fox News:

You can rest assured if Trump was involved, even in the least way these files would have been released during the 4 years that Biden had them

That’s a narrative defenders of the indefensible are using, and it’s bull$#!+. Files weren’t released under Biden because it’s a Mutually Assured Destruction pact where top Democrats — and donors/cronies both parties are beholden to — would also be exposed.

The Democrats screaming loudest for full release are the new radicals out to replace the Old Guard, who stand to benefit by unseating tenured rivals.

This reminds me of nothing so much as this.

Democrats and the media smell blood and they’re going for it. As far as the mid-terms go:

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
