  • Chelsea Manning has asked Obama to cut her ghastly sentence to time served. Good luck, Chelsea.
  • Larry Correia writes a guide for liberals who are suddenly interested in gun ownership.
  • The whimpering “safe space” infants aren’t only on college campuses. Andrew Torba, founder of Gab.ai has been banned from the directory and community of the famous venture capital outfit Y Combinator because his very existence makes people feel “unsafe.”

    • Lies of Omission

    Published November 1, 2016 1:11 am by Claire

    Recently I was interviewed for the documentary-to-be, Lies of Omission. There’s now an Indiegogo fundraiser with a three-minute teaser trailer. More footage will be shot and more interviews done if the filmmakers, T.L. Davis and his daughter Sammi Lee Davis, get the support they need from the pro-gun and freedom community. I recently talked with both T.L. and Sammi by email to find out how their project came to be and what their plans are for it. —– 1. What gave you the idea for “Lies of Omission”? TLD: Well, for me it was a frustration in watching lefty documentaries…

  • Oh weep! Oh wail! Oh, such a tragedy. Some 100+ DMV offices in California were closed for business up to two days due to a presumed hardware glitch. (H/T ML) Seriously, though, this does give a preview of either a) TEOTWAWKI or b) election day; take your pick.
  • Hm. Seems Iceland isn’t the only country where clowns and jokers are rising in national politics. Italy, too. (Tip o’ hat to the elusive J)
  • Hardly news, but always a good reminder: activists must be on guard against entrapment. (Also: read Rats! the free no-snitch book and pass it around.)

  • There should be a special hell — a very special hell — for so-called private companies that thrive by enabling mass, unlawful government surveillance. (H/T MJR)
  • I’ve complained of authoritarian bigotry from some of the most ardent Trumpists. But ain’t nothing compares with this from some San Francisco Clintonista, who wants Trump supporters to die and their houses to burn down. Unless this is particularly wicked satire, it’s additional evidence that the authoritarian left is more violent than the right in the U.S. will ever be.
  • Though I don’t, can’t, and won’t ever support Trump, I understand those who find themselves increasingly pushed in his direction.

    OMG, it’s an all-politics links day. Avoid if you’re already overdosed. But what can I say? The election is a trainwreck that’s impossible to look away from. These people are “better” than entire herds of Kardashian-Jenners.

  • The title says “How Half of America Lost Its F*cking Mind.” The author says rural Americans have been abused to the point where Trump looks like their savior and they’re understandably, righteously pissed at political business as usual.
  • Hillary’s views on cybersecurity are not only dumb and evil. They’re impossible, as even some of her advisors clearly understood. Can’t have super-security plus nice backdoors that only the “good guys” — that is, Hillary’s friends — can walk through. But not to worry! Hillary! Has the Experience! We Need! To become our dictator.
  • How one itty-bitty Nebraska town v*ted itself out of existence. (H/T MJR)
