Bob Owens, RIP

I read his blog Confederate Yankee and his articles on Bearing Arms daily. Never had the pleasure of meeting him. Now he's gone. His wife and children need help. You can donate here.

Trump Fires Comey

Trump fires FBI Director Comey

I'm not sure this surprises me at all. What it doesn't do is bother me. Adding intent to a Federal statute that doesn't require it just so he could avoid recommending charges is enough for me. On the other hand, expecting no politics from a post that is political in nature is senseless. Now I expect the Democrats to rally 'round Comey because "Trump".

[UPDATE] What I said.

A Teachable Moment

Ohio middle school student suspended for ‘liking’ Instagram photo of a fake gun

The student liked an image of an airsoft gun on Instagram while he was home. The next day upon arrival at school he was searched and suspended for 10 days. The school administrators insist they have jurisdiction over your child 24/7. The suspension has since been revoked, but this should be a teachable moment for the school administrators. I think a lawsuit would do it.

Funny, Isn't It

Bloomberg's minions try to shift the blame for their incompetence, and get called on it by the local media. It's not often you see someone out of government piss away twenty millions dollars.

Term Limits by Vince Flynn

An unknown group assassinates three Senator and Congressmen then demands changes in how the government does things or else. Mayhem ensues. The demands amounted to balance the budget and pay off the deficit. Of course I liked it just as much this time around as I did the first time around 1998. I looked back at the Library Journal and Kirkus reviews of the original edition and they hated it mostly for its "right wing politics" That should be recommendation enough. It does suffer a bit from an author who is learning his craft, but nothing there that really harms the final product. Read and enjoy.

Ya Know What GOP?

We didn't give the GOP the House, Senate, and White House to have you replace Obamacare. We put your there to REPEAL it. To bad you weren't listening. 2020 is going to be interesting for you guys.

Compounding the Stupid

In Wisconsin, a High School was evacuated because a student worn a Darth Vader costume to school.

"Ashwaubenon Public Safety is not seeking any recourse toward the student as it has been determined that this was merely a mistake or lapse in judgment," reads a statement from police.

Yes, there was a "lapse in judgment"...by the parent who reported the kid wearing a costume, by the school administrator who called the police, and by the police who responded to the event and evacuated the school then failed to admit the entire "incident was an overreaction on their part. The only people who should be held responsible for this charlie foxtrot are the adults. Blaming the kid who chose to wear a costume of a fantasy character to school is just compounding the stupid.
