Quote of the Day - Scott Adams' Edition

I watched Clinton surrogates on CNN criticize Trump’s speech, and their criticisms were mostly these two:

1. All of Trump’s foreign policy ideas are crazy and uninformed.

2. Obama is already wisely doing all of those same things.

That would seem absurd in any other context. But keep in mind that we voters believe we can assess foreign policy ideas by listening to biased liars talk on television. So the entire situation is ridiculous, but we play along.

SJWs Demand 'Deus Ex' Video Game Not Let Gamers Make 'Immoral' Decisions

That's what normal people do. Instead, these SJW grumps insist the rest of us conform to their world view. I say no, and if the producers of that game don't say the same I suspect they'll have a flop on their hands. Their choice.

Fact Checkers my...

...ass.

Fact Check Sites Covering for Hillary on Guns

Too busy making a case for their chosen candidate to actually pay attention to what Hillary is saying.

“The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment. And I am going to make that case every chance I get.”

H/T to Sebastian. Lying liars lie.

The King of Las Vegas by John Van Stry

I picked it up on impulse and damn was it a good read. Reminds me a bit of Dead Easy by William Mark Simmons. I'll definitely be reading his other novels. Highly recommended.

Detective accidentally shoots self as police pursuit ends in crash

Also the police knew who he was and could have picked him up later yet chose to pursue him through town. The crook wasn't the only one who put lives at risk.

He's not a Libertarian...

This drawing is by Johnny Craig of EC fame. Post EC he worked mostly in advertising and this is probably a preliminary sketch from that work. I'd love one of his comic pages but would rather not mortgage the house. This will do.

This is by Joe Pimetel out of Brazil. To my knowledge he hasn't done any professional work here in the States. He doesn't seem to have any presence online. No idea about Brazil, but I do like his style.

The Law?

We ARE the Law

It's like where I work. We're told the General Orders are for the employees not the Administration. Ya know, rules are for the little people.

Not Just Gore.

Democrat Operatives with Bylines

I got a call this morning.

I don't remember my source for the new DDTC "guidance" intended to put gunsmith's out of business. I didn't even blog on it. I just sent off emails to my Senators and Congressman. I got a phone call from one Senator Tillis' staffers this morning asking me about it. She said she wanted to make sure my take on it matched hers before talking to Tillis about it. I have never gotten that kind of response from an email to any politician...ever. That's kinda neat, but my take away from the short conversation is that this thing had gone under the radar of our representatives in DC. That may not be the case now, but those of you who haven't called or written your representatives on this matter probably oughta. Just a thought.
