My latest from JPFO.
Category: Guns and Gun Rights
Of course.
Gunshot to butt helps … er, crack case. (H/T for the laugh to LA) No drugs, no alcohol. Just vast quantities of stupid found at the scene. Used to be, the more student debt you incurred, the more likely you were to own a house. ‘Cause after all, that debt meant you were better schooled, therefore better paid. Not so much any more. More on politically correct academia devouring its own. I liked Joel’s take better. Our Masters do not like being humiliated. (H/T Shel from comments) Susan Cain: TED talk on The Power of Introverts. Boy, is that the…
I wrote briefly about it here the other day. This weekend I have a longer piece at JPFO about Operation Choke Point and its potential effects on both gun rights and society.
As of this afternoon, JPFO has a F*c*b**k page — and it’s all thanks once again to the Amazing Nicki. JPFO lost control of its old social media feeds late last year for reasons too grim & complicated to go into. It took social-media whiz Nicki no time at all to get new ones going. Now, of course, comes the long slog of winning back all those JPFO Twitter and FB followers — and there were thousands. So please … spread the word. I swear, just watching Nicki work wears me out. I think I’ll go have a Bloody Mary…
JPFO has a brand-new Twitter feed managed by the amazing Nicki. Obama’s war on government watchdogs. Very nice tribute to Don Kates. Of course the growing cybermilitary will never be used against thee and me. Never. How could you even think such a thing? But now that you have thought such a thing, you can be sure that the NSA, the Pentagon, and a whole bunch of rich government contractors know what to do about it. (H/T H) But while we’re on the subject: “What a toilet hoax can tell us about the future of surveillance.” Eeeeeew. In other non-news:…
This is both fun and educational: How Secure is My Password? Just in case, I suggest you not enter any real passwords, but something entirely different that just has the same general mix of numbers, letters, and symbols as any password you might use. And of course, how long it takes a PC to crack your password and how long it takes some creepazoid with the full power of government behind him are two very different things. Why we should all watch Groundhog Day. (Contains spoilers; but then, is there anybody who hasn’t already seen or doesn’t already know how…
In light of the latest in the endless series of revelations about Internet Explorer bugs and vulnerabilities, I bring you … And now, being gunfolk and technoids (as so many of you are), you can all go off to the comment section and beat each other about the head and shoulders over which firearm should actually represent which browser. But nobody will disagree on the one that best depicts IE, right?
Well, to no great surprise, we now get a glimpse of Bloomberg’s idea of “grassroots.” His new Everytown for Gun Safety outfit paid demonstrators to protest at the NRA annual meeting. And when a gun-friendly reporter tried to question Bloomy’s plastic PR “mom” Shannon Watts, Watts was whisked away. By armed guards. In an SUV bearing New York license plates. Oh yeah, this “grassroots” effort is going really, really well. ADDED: Just lookit that incredible mob of “grassroots” hoplophobes! Inside the convention hall, better things transpired.
That KKK killer who shot up those Jewish centers recently? A protected and pampered creature of the federales. Wonder why that’s not getting more attention in the MSM? David Codrea has that and more about the FBI in last night’s JPFO alert. Studies: The more privileged you are relative to others around you, the less trustworthy you’re likely to be. (Don’t blame me. I’m not the one who said it.) Deputy shoots cattle dog for no good reason. Outraged dog-dad sets up F*ceb**k page demanding justice. And more. Deputy gets fired. Wayne LaPierre announces he’s shutting down the NRA. 😉…
