Tim McGraw lends support to divide and conquer tactic with anti-gun concert

True, the group’s chair, Kristin Lemkau, is an accomplished individual, but that’s in another field, as Chief Marketing Officer for JP Morgan Chase. At least there’s an established gun connection with the bank -- several, in fact. Not only is JP Morgan ATF’s credit card provider, it was a designated landing place to get a double-dipping Fast and Furious manager out of the country, a top Obama campaign contributor, and the bank that abruptly terminated the account of Defense Distributed. It is presumed their card also enabled an ATF Director of Industry Operations to engage in his own form of “double- dipping.” [More]

Coming Soon to a Caliphate Near You

I admit I have not had time to give The Betrayal Papers more than a cursory look, but I have to admit, the premise of "Authorized Journalist" complicity is one that resonates with me. [More]

Stock Manipulation

Walmart wins the right to tell some "progressive" activists (posing as a church for IRS purposes) who own under 4k of over 3b shares that they don't get to tell the company how it will be run. [More]

The real question is why it wasn't thrown out in the district court with the "church" and its lawyers sanctioned, because the unrepentant subversives are still making noises promising more agitation.  But then again, I don't expect the answer would surprise anyone.

An Incremental Gain

You know, prohibiting the collection of race data. [More]

Prohibit the collection of all data and I'll get excited.

Unanswered Questions

Expect them to stay that way, and for anyone getting close to be ridiculed as a conspiracy theorist. [More]

What that does is, it allows "competing" conspiracies, including directed disinformation, to steer a detached public's short attention span away from actual conspiracies.

"Botched gun sting," anyone?

Jeffrey Walker told jurors that the Philadelphia Police Department drug squad targeted white “college-boy … khaki-pants types” who were “easy to intimidate.” [More]
Eric Holder and the civil rights squad will be right on it.  I just hope somebody can restrain Sharpton and Jackson...

Y'know, when you realize Philly is ruled by "progressives" and it's known as "The City of Brotherly Love," this makes perfect sense.  Kind of like declaring Independence Hall a UN World Heritage site...

This Day in History: April 15

On this day in 1783, the Continental Congress of the United States officially ratifies the preliminary peace treaty with Great Britain that was signed in November 1782. The congressional move brings the nascent nation one step closer to the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. [More]
They didn't get there by "compromising," they were not deterred by the more "reasonable" who were afraid genuine defiance would make them all look bad, and they did not achieve it without personal involvement, commitment and sacrifice.
