I hate to say I told you so — oh, who am I kidding; it’s what I do — but the Senate GOP is set to “compromise” on gun-control, enacting the one proposal I predicted they would enact (while proclaiming victory for beating back the rest of the Feinstein agenda), so-called universal background checks. Which of course are no such thing, because the only people forced to comply will be

“Washington State Proposed Gun Law Calls on Sheriff to Inspect Homes of Assault-Weapon Owners”
The Constitutionality of such introduced measures is no longer even considered. Big Brother is here, and he is working to make sure law enforcement joins his fascistic team. But it’s benevolent fascism. For “public safety,” you see. And Big Brother will get what he can done before the courts catch up to him. In Colorado, for instance, while the Sheriffs association is holding firm, the police chiefs association supported a

Left-feminist new Outrage(s) du Jour [Darleen Click]
I don’t think I need even comment further on how much Left-feminist “seriousness” is really self-parody Every month or so, I receive a glossy coupon from Victoria’s Secret in my mailbox. “Free panty!” it beckons. “No purchase necessary!” Reading those words, I cringe a little bit. Not because I hate underwear—I’m an ardent lover of underwear. It’s because I hate the word “panty.” I hate the plural form of “panty”

When taxpayer money for medical research is used for political hit-jobs [Darleen Click]
William Jacobson muses What “medical research” will look like in the age of Obamacare Had I but world enough and time, I would write something original about the sickeningly stupid argument that the Tobacco industry and Koch brothers began planning for the Tea Party movement over a decade ago and long before anyone had even thought up the Stimulus and Obamacare legislation which actually sparked the movement in 2009-2010. The

“It’s full of fecal matter” [Darleen Click]
Obama’s new catchphrase, Ladders of Opportunity CHICAGO (AP) — Pressing his case in the town that launched his political career, President Barack Obama called Friday for the government to take an active, wide-ranging role in ensuring every American has a “ladder of opportunity” into the middle class.

I aim to misbehave
And why wouldn’t I? After all, that’s what outlaws do — and today’s CO general assembly votes are fixin’ to make me and my weapons and my high cap magazines an outlaw. — Which, I already was, of course. Only the Democrats are intent on making it official. I wonder, though: will that make me even more sexy to women? Glass half full and all.

“MN Democrats Abandon ‘National Conversation’ on Guns — Literally”
Bob Owens: A short video from Minnesota (which has been pulled from YouTube since the writing of this article) spotlights shameful behavior by elected Democrats, supposedly interested in conducting a “national conversation on guns.” At a meeting, two firearms experts came forward to speak, bringing with them two common Ruger 10/22 rifles that had been cleared by security. The purpose of their presentation was to explain how the gun-control laws currently

“Our Incorrigible Media”
Matthew Continetti, WFB: For the last several weeks, as you are no doubt aware, the Washington Free Beacon and other news outlets—most of them conservative—have been investigating secretary of defense nominee Chuck Hagel’s positions, finances, associations, career history, and utterances. Which seems to us to be precisely what you would expect an intrepid and creative and entrepreneurial press to do when the president of the United States nominates a controversial
