One Person’s Actions Cannot Change a Nation
The actions of one psychopath should not be able to change an entire nation.
Crime
We Have to be Careful
A very common Democrat talking point is that most Americans favor some form of reasonable gun control. And it is true that most people do. The problem with that is that we know history. If we start with some reasonable laws about firearms, that don’t actually prevent every single murder using a firearm, the left will immediately proceed to unreasonable limits.
Supreme Court Defeats Ilhan Omar’s Liberal Agenda in Her Own Backyard
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has failed to meet his legal duty to hire more police officers or to demonstrate why he hasn’t done so. This decision is a big win for a group of eight city residents who sued the mayor and the City Council over the huge spike in crime that …
Philadelphians Are Fighting Back!
We have previously noted that the law-abiding people in Philadelphia have been seeking concealed carry permits at a record pace. And we have seen stories about some of the bad guys in Philly being sent untimely to their eternal rewards. Why are people in the City of Brotherly Love arming themselves? When there are innocent …
No, Requiring Liability Insurance On Firearms Would Not Stop Gun Crime
Driving a car is not a right. However, ownership of a firearm is, and “shall not be infringed.” Sorry professors.
Don’t Celebrate Too Soon! (Reprise), Part 1
Congratulations, President Biden. You have broken so many records they are hard to count. As someone I am intentionally not citing recently shared on Facsistbook, Biden has so far presided over historically high inflation, record oil and gas prices, a disastrous pullout from Afghanistan costing 13 American lives and 169 allies lives, a deepening migrant …
Where Have All The Cops Gone?
Be careful what you ask for because once the people who bleed blue stop caring, the darkness of the world will have no keepers. –Bradley Nickell Some time ago, I was contacted by a close friend living in a small city (Population 100K) over an issue concerning her. While she is very liberal politically, …
Body Cams; Not Just For Police
Body Cams are a net positive for Law Enforcement…and could be used for other public applications
Do You REALLY Want Federal Gun Control Intervention? Well, Here’s an Idea for You
We don’t have a gun problem. We have a Democrat overpopulation and governance problem.
31 Linked to White Nationalist Group Arrested Near Pride Event in Idaho
Thirty-one people affiliated with the white nationalist group Patriot Front were arrested
Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, the ACLU stood for something. Its official statement was that it stood for the rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
Police and Professionalism
A urban fable that’s come up recently, is that being a law enforcement officer (LEO) requires less training than a beautician (although inaccurate, I must agree some states put ridiculous requirements on licensing to cut hair). The implication is that police are undertrained, or worse, untrained. To put it mildly, that is inaccurate. Liberals in …
Most Assault Rifles…Aren’t
The above is not an assault rifle, and neither are most of the firearms now under attack by the left. We need to take back the language.
“Hate Speech” as a Weapon of the Left
John R. Surdu Last week I posted an article, called “What is Hate Speech?” In that article, I asserted that social media tech tyrants, media talking heads, members of every perpetual victim class, Leftist, and woke politicians define “hate speech” as “anything I don’t like.” The Left uses many weapons to divide us, create …

Civil War II, Part II
Some of you are old enough to remember way back in May when I first wrote about the Dems hankering to start up a new Civil War over the supposed overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Chinese State Media Trumpets AOC Quote Bashing America
During a Wednesday House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on gun violence, Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told colleagues the escalation in the frequency of school shootings, which she established is unique to the U.S., is “internationally embarrassing and delegitimizing.” The congresswoman from New York asked National Education Association President Becky Pringle, “Between 2009 and 2018, how …
There is Nothing Sensible About Common-Sense Gun Laws
Using “common sense” to describe the gun laws under discussion is about as misleading as using “affordable care” to describe Obamacare.
