Unintended Consequences

I’m hearing a lot of this out here in the wild.
A lot.
A LOT.
My personal favorite was “I am so ardently resolved to vote for Trump that I would traverse a mile of shattered glass to cast my ballot.” https://t.co/dJP24QT07z

I just donated $300k to Trump

H/T to Instapundit.

But This is Different...

Wow I can't believe Putin arrested another journalist.

I'm so glad we live in a free country where that never happens. https://t.co/5xVnckeiS2

Of Course They Do

Say What? Antis Call for Assault Weapons Ban after School Shooting with Pump Shotgun and Handgun

It was an assault shotgun and an assault pistol because they get to make shit up as they go along.

People in Glass Houses...

...should shut the f**K up.

Enough is enough. Clarence Thomas must resign — or be impeached.

This dimwits opinions aside, no one in Congress or the Senate who isn't blatantly partisan or had their own ethical failures shoved under a rug has a problem with this. None of the other Supreme court Justices have a problem with this. The people who do have a problem with it are pissed off a Conservative Court wont' do as they are told by the Left. They want a "liberal" majority so bad they will do anything to obtain it. Well, with a Republican majority in the House, i suspect it ain't gonna happen any more than a Democrat Majority in the Senate would find President Biden guilty of high crimes and misdermeanors, guilty of them or not.

Thank You Joe Biden...

Ain't nothing gonna happen to them because its only illegal when conservatives do it. The bit that matters is Biden's DOJ don't care.

They Change Their Definitions at the Whim of the Woke

...and know not of which they speak, but it's not like they are a real dictionary anymore.

A major corporation just openly mocked Kyle Rittenhouse for breaking down while reliving the worst trauma of his life. This is the society we live in now.

UPDATE: Ah, the new Leftist talking point.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, now 27.

I'd like to say "that's California", but if the Left has it's way, that's the rest of us as well. I can't afford six dollar a gallon gas. The mid-terms are coming. Choose wisely.

OK, I'll admit context is everything. The screwdriver, needle nose pliers and scissors could be used as stabbing weapons. No on the file and pliers. Advertising this seizure makes the officers look like fools. In Britain that's apparently encouraged. Poor Bobbies.

I might also add that this is what lies at the bottom of the slippery slope.

Two guys break into a house...

...and use a screwdriver to attack the homeowner. The homeowner defends himself with a knife and kills one of the intruders. Guess who gets arrested for homicide? In Great Britain, the homeowner.

Pictured: The pensioner, 78, arrested on suspicion of MURDER after 'stabbing armed burglar, 38, to death in struggle in his kitchen' when two intruders woke him as he slept next to his wife

Not the first time.

This kind of shit is what we in America can look forward to if David Hogg and the Parkland children and the big money backing them get their way.

I cite those celebrity assaults not because celebrities are more prone to wind up as crime victims than anyone else, but only because the measure of a civilized society is how easily you can insulate yourself from its snarling underclass. In America, if you can make it out of some of the loonier cities, it’s a piece of cake, relatively speaking. In Britain, if even a rock star or TV supremo can’t insulate himself, nobody can. In any society, criminals prey on the weak and vulnerable. It’s the peculiar genius of government policy to have ensured that in British society everyone is weak and vulnerable –from Norfolk farmers to Tom Cruise’s neighbor.

And that’s where America is headed if those million marching moms make any headway in Washington: Less guns = more crime. And more vulnerability. And a million more moms being burgled, and assaulted, and raped. I like hunting, but if that were the only thing at stake with guns, I guess I could learn to live without it. But I’m opposed to gun control because I don’t see why my neighbors in New Hampshire should have to live the way, say, my sister-in-law does–in a comfortable manor house in a prosperous part of rural England, lying awake at night listening to yobbo gangs drive up, park their vans, and test her doors and windows before figuring out that the little old lady down the lane’s a softer touch.

Read the whole article. It applies now more than ever.

Way Up North

So, three armed invaders break into a home where they encounter two residents. In the resulting struggle one of the residents get s gun away from one of the home invaders and opens fire. The home invaders flee and one is wounded. The responding police then arrest the resident who defended himself for attempted murder and associated firearms charges. Maybe that's because he tried to nail 'em on the fly as they fled. Maybe it just a f****d up view of what is and isn't self-defense. Maybe it's just Canada. What I do know is I'm glad I'm down here south of their border were if three armed gits broke into my house I'd be allowed to defend myself.

How's that working out so far?

"We're going to distribute bread at a much cheaper price and in larger quantities than before," said Jose Enrique Solorzano, who heads the socialist committee that assumed control of Mansion's. "It's no longer going to be about the exploited and exploiter, no more boss and chief. We're all going to become productive, living and producing in equality."

When Politifact calls you on it you know you're out in left field.

Fake News

The NYT headline says "C.I.A. Judgment on Russia Built on Swell of Evidence" and I'm instantly skeptical about whether what's in the article supports that headline.

It's called grasping at straws.

Quote of the Day

I've got to say: if you're trying to make a case against Trump via trying to reverse the election by mob rule, by threats of violence against electors, and by openly planning an insurrection -- er, "disruption"?

Then you're making one hell of a good case that Trump is less of a threat to democracy than his opponents. - Charlie Martin

I'd kinda figured Trump was a one term President. Now, I'm not so sure. If the whiners are the guys who select Trump's opponent in 2020, he'll be so far to the Left even Trump can win a second term.
