In case you’ve wondered how a jury could watch a video of a cop executing a man in cold blood and still vote to acquit, it’s because authoritarian mind-warping is so very effective. Lisa Mearkle. Remember the name. Lisa Mearkle. Idaho deputies ask rancher to put down an injured bull. Before he can, they put down the rancher. The family tell their story. I wonder what the “official” story will be. In all the news about local cops getting away with murder, Jim Bovard reminds us that their federal brothers and sisters are still doing their share — and still…

Of course.
It’s been a decent year in life, but a tough one in the pocketbook (what with The Great Bathroom Project, more medical expenses than I’ve had in the last 25 years, and giving up my biggest client on one of those thorny, stubborn Issues of Principle). Pardon me for being blunt, but I need this Amazon Christmas season to be really, really big. So once a week between now and Chrismakwanzaahanukkahyule I’m going to feature a few cool Amazonian goodies. You faithful (and blessed) Amazon buyers know the drill. Enter Amazon through any of my Associate links and anything you…

3 CommentsThere’s one deadly sin that we do less as we age, says the WaPost. Actually, I can think of several. But the article is still a nice reminder that getting old has its great benefits. MamaLiberty tests 9mm ammo. OTOH, while 9mm is emerging as the clear favorite in TZP’s current poll, Mike Vanderboegh offers a rather compelling, if strictly empirical, argument on why .45 ACP is “better.” (Great link to ballistics tests, too.) The Blackphone2: “not recommended at this time” for paranoid patriots. So typical. So very, very, very typical. That crooked cop who staged his own “murder” had…
13 CommentsFunny that TZP is in the middle of doing a poll on favorite EDC ammo, and we get an offer for free boxes of the most popular caliber. Want free ammo? Check it out over at TZP courtesy of Ammunition to Go and and Magtech.
5 CommentsThanks to our old friend Carl-Bear Bussjaeger and The Amazing Jo Ann over at The Zelman Partisans, TZP is about to go live with an email alert/digest system. For now, emails will be weekly and will contain TZP updates and a few notable news items or op-eds from outside sources. But the system will also enable TZP to send urgent news or action alerts as need be. You can help beta test the system. A trial alert will go out about 24 hours from this posting and TZP invites your opinion. To sign up, just head over to TZP and…
Leave a CommentThe new poll and results of last week’s poll are now up at The Zelman Partisans. Let your opinions fly on the question of what’s your favorite caliber for everyday carry.
18 CommentsAmish man sues to buy firearms without photo ID. Those secretive, usually warrantless stingray units? Turns out they can record the content of phone calls; not just act as a locator. (H/T MJR) Liberalthink: We MUST have the $15/hour minimum wage even if it puts people out of work. The news just gets more dire for Obamacare’s race to the bottom. Kevin Wilmeth asks, “How cool is Marilyn Williams?”, who defended her home with a precision air rifle (aka “sniper rifle” to the media). I’m not sure how the term “social justice warriors” (SJW) came into such popular use. But…
26 CommentsWhy are U.S. Jews generally anti-gun?
8 CommentsWow. You know that woman who drove into the parade crowd in Oklahoma? Apparently at least some of the media seems more than usually pre-programmed to blame the non-existent gun. David Codrea points out that the car-killer babe is apparently an Obama fan, too. I don’t know about you, but this sort of vague, ill-reported United Nations “science” makes me want to go right out and eat bacon. Maple flavored. Crisp. Oh, I have no doubt processed meats don’t qualify as health food, but I also doubt that the big bacon and sausage eaters dying of cancer are otherwise noshing…
