Everything — everything! (except memberships) — is 25 percent off at the JPFO store through Thursday. And even with memberships, there’s an ongoing 25th-anniversary special. Much good stuff. Prices low enough to enable you to share many items with friends. Books. DVDs. Targets. Bumper Stickers. Those wonderful, EZ-read Gran’pa Jack booklets. Tee shirts & hats. More Izula knives! I wish I’d thought of this line myself, but I’ll steal it from David Codrea, who headlined his post about the big sale at Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership with, “Have we got a deal for you!” 🙂 —– And…

Sometimes you need to say “no” to Big Brother
Via jed: Artist sends the National Spy Agency a super-encrypted “mixtape.” So why would Huerta create a mixtape no one else could open? Well for one, there’s no worry that someday he’ll regret sending our nation’s protectors a whole bunch of mushy love songs that will sound really, really cheesy 10 years from now. Oh, and there’s this, which he posted on his Medium blog: “The NSA can read my stupid Facebook updates but without my consent it will never be able to listen to my kick-ass mix tape, even if it’s sitting right in front of them.” Actually, that…
Liberty or tyranny, happiness or misery, life or death. You decide. (H/T WRSA) And along similar lines, Paul Bonneau reminds us of a classic piece of his: “A New Berry Bush for the Garden.” The natives are surely getting restless when a law professor says things like this. The prof in question is Glenn Harlan Reynolds. But still … Yet another reminder that the Internet is full of idiots. Campaign challenges users to quit F*c*b**k for 99 days. (Hey, I think I’ve beaten that challenge already!) Malkin hands it to Bloomberg. Hands him his posterior, that is. And yes, that…
A different way of fighting addictions. Article is a little vague on whether these newish ways are more effective than the old. But it’s certainly good to see the old “you’re helpless, forever sick, and dependent only on a higher power” model of treatment getting some competition. Kim Jong Un is terrified of … poor-quality imitation Moon Pies??? Well, take it with a grain of salt, but stranger things have helped bring down tyrants. Yes, some cops should be charged with murder. And conspiracy. And attempted coverup. And … Obama The Great. Or why he thinks he is and is…
It has been so freakin’ BUSY! I’m sorry for the “lite” posting, but when I do have some time, summer tempts me to spend it elsewhere than the computer.
While articles are being written, doors are also being painted, junk heaps reduced, and projects planned.

I even (I blush to admit) spent time last week prepping artwork to submit to the county fair.
Wendy McElroy’s latest. A good read for Independence Day. Spread it around. —– (I’m still deadlining. Two articles down, one to go. Plus Life. More soon.)
Okay — show of hands. How many of you believe the IRS “accidentally” lost two years of Lois Lerner’s emails? Sharyl Attkisson offers a list of very specific questions Congress should be asking. IRS honesty is like NHTSA voluntaryism. Yeah, if the defense did it, people would be going to prison for witness tampering. How widespread is this, anyhow? (H/T S) Oh yeah, Mr. Obama. Homicides committed with firearms are off the charts. Flags, true and false. The latest speech from Mike Vanderboegh.
What’s lost as cursive handwriting goes away? Intelligence … memory … turns out handwriting isn’t just some bugaboo in stuffy, old-fashioned teachers’ minds. In Thailand, protestors salute with the touching gesture borrowed from The Hunger Games. The junta doesn’t like it. Hm. I dunno. I guess if you’re too busy, have the bux, and don’t mind your dog pigging out on treats, this could assuage your guilt. Frankly, though, if I had the money and no time, I’d go with an automated fetch machine, instead. Keep ’em lean and well-exercised. (H/T ML) Whotta place to be caught: between secrecy and…
Eighty-four square feet, 305 possessions. I’m glad my own tiny-house phase is over, but I’m also glad I had it. I’m really glad it never went down to 84 square feet. Join the IRS. Cheat on your taxes. Misbehave. Win awards. Where do I sign up! Not just renegade ranchers, but the Texas attorney general, is ready to say, “Come and take it! (H/T LarryA in comments.) Rebels, rebels everywhere. And some intriguing background on who really “owns” all that Nevada land. (H/T Pat and naturegirl in comments.) Fellow plane passengers perform one, tiny non-violent act of resistance to save…
