Parishioners ensure that three counts of attempted murder didn’t become something much worse. Would love to know more details about how this guy hid out in plain sight. Man vandalizes own truck for money, blames Black Lives Matter. No comment. L.A. freelancers. In an … um, interesting tax situation. Ahhhh, free enterprise. In Pakistan, it seems, you can rent yourself a mob from people who specialize in this “valuable public service.” And this! Spy-agency contractor will pay $1 million for an iPhone hack. Some of us predicted this way back in the 90s: sensors in drugs that can report to…
Category: Guns and Gun Rights
Of course.
Some climate scientists want those who disagree with them to be charged with treason. The latest bunch isn’t so hysterical in its desire to suppress opposition. They merely want the RICO statutes levied against those who don’t share their opinions. Somebody should tell them this isn’t how science “settles” questions. Bovard has an article in Barrons on how the Nazgul discarded existing rights while proclaiming new ones. Cane-weilding “pacifist” homeowner gets gun from intruder and kills him dead. Fascinating. Why Holocaust denial exists and why Jews are guilty of it, too. (H/T E.A.) Yes, you and I know most of…
Pilot diverts an international flight to save a dog traveling in cargo. (Yeah, I’ll bet that made some passengers mad, but …) The busybodies and their puppets in poly-ticks who hope to control all human behavior (including human ingenuity), really ought to have another think: prisoner nearly escapes using toothpaste and thread. Director of the Nobel Institute at the time President Unicorn got his peace prize regrets the award. Speaking of Obama, he’s just signed an executive order essentially allowing fedgov agencies to perform social “science” research on us all. Naturally, the evil father of “libertarian paternalism (spit!),” Cass Sunstein,…
“Elite” SWAT cops petulently destroy their own office. So what do you suppose this guy was ticketed for? I’m not sure which is more remarkable: that three-year-olds are now getting type II diabetes or that this one recovered with sensible lifestyle changes. Your government at work — threatening, bombing, shooting, and otherwise terrorizing its unwanted neighbors. (Via Shel in comments) Here’s a new thought (and a longish article on it): what if all those creeps who are aggregating and selling our personal data are a national-security threat? (Everything else is, so why not them?) Americans (particularly those of means) continue…
Ha! Here’s a dude who decided to rob the wrong young woman. Five parenting situations that require alcohol. And not the rubbing kind. A loaded gun. A round in the chamber. And guess where this dumb tweaker broad decided to stash her firearm? Great advice for LEOs (and the person who sent me this link spent his career in that category): how to avoid being killed or being a killer of the innocent. Eight things that might get you on the infamous no-fly list. And note how few of them have anything to do with being dangerous. (H/T PT) The…
Boys with sticks learn what sticks are for. Beautiful. Bovard on the latest “food insecurity” fraud. Hmph. Must be nice to be so powerful that airlines change their routes so you can get to your second home more quickly. Seven archeological mysteries that could be solved in this century. Another potential use for cannibis: preventing organ rejection after transplants. Much more research needed. The rise and fall of the Salem witch hysteria. This dog is a caretaker at a zoo.
Taking tacticool to an even more ridiculous extreme. (H/T jb) Remember that New Yorker article on the coming Cascadia “coast is toast” quake? Went a little over the top in places. Now its author, Kathryn Schultz is back with some pretty sound advice for staying safe when Cascadia decides to do its thing. This history of modern government medicine was a bit thick for me, I confess. But if you really want to know how we got in the fix we’re in, this is the article for you. (H/T ML) Look who’s pushing the international arms treaty and how they’re…
What the poor, poor media has do do when the murdering jerk is the “wrong” sort of person. And here’s the non-funny but more in-depth view of the same phenomenon. I haven’t heard from Stewart Rhodes yet about the Ferguson open-carry march controversy. But Mama Liberty found this even-handed Reason article on the issue with extensive quotes from him. Oliver Sacks, the great neurologist and racconteur died on Sunday. He was a wise, humane, and funny man. He went through life with face-blindness, which must be a special curse for such a public person. Kent says it well. You can’t…
I’m sorry for your grief, Mr. Parker. No parent should have to endure what you suffered. I was keeping my mouth shut when you first went on your blame-the-gun warpath. But now I know you’ve added hypocrisy to your repertoire, sympathy stretches thin: The father of slain TV reporter Alison Parker says he thinks he will have to buy a gun now that he has decided to be an outspoken advocate for tougher gun laws. Yeah. So everybody else who owns guns is a maniac waiting to strike. You, OTOH, are … what? Ignorant, for one: He says background checks…
In response to some pants-wetting coward who sees every gun-rights advocate* as a threat to him and of course his children. —– * Specifically those sporting NRA stickers. Ha! Little does he know those are only a modest few of the actual gun-bearing population.
