The Purge?

In the past few days I've been contacted by two "conservative" Examiners telling me their accounts have been shut down because some nameless corporate authority has suddenly, without warning and after years of productivity, deemed them not to be "good fits."

One person I did not know; she contacted me because she'd been told what happened to my column by a friend. The other is someone I've been following for some time, and  consider him a journalist capable of producing outstanding content with the best of them -- and the reason most will never hear of him is because he focuses where the establishment doesn't want us looking.

It's a shameful indictment on not just "the media," but on the culture as a whole-- where the latest slutcapades by the celebrity whore du jour will attract more eyeballs and attention than an entire body of work from someone of substance.

As for Examiner, the editorial dolts who are incapable of recognizing, let alone assessing investigative journalism, are only interested in rewording the work of others to capitalize on key word trends. One thing I've started doing, when I need to reference one of my Gun Rights Examiner pieces, is link to  an archived version over at The Wayback Machine, just so that I'm not sending any ad revenue traffic their way.

Red-Green Axis Spells Out Danger Threatening to Destroy the Republic

I can say, without hyperbole, this is a vital report addressing nothing less than the survival of the Founder’s Republic in the 21st Century, one that you ignore at your peril, and at the peril of everyone you love. I cannot urge you in strong enough terms to get it and read it, and to do that without delay. Like now. [More]
Those administering national assisted suicide hope you neither become aware of, nor share this information.

Some months back I and some others participated in a phone interview with the NFA is Not OK folks, and they have now posted it online.

My segment starts @ 15:30 in.

Leaders of the Pack

We are a pack of wolves, not a herd of sheep. [More] 
So naturally, leaders of the herd hate men who don't think and behave like anti-gun males.

We're the Only Ones Dynamically Entering Enough

Thank goodness our community heroes made it out of that place!

We're the Only Ones Getting Props Enough

Police chief investigates 'most grisly murder in 35 years' before discovering blood-spattered scene is a horror movie set [More]
The real horror is, if someone had panicked and shot the hotel owner, it would have probably been written off as within protocol.

Recall Grover Norquist?

Fine by me. [More]

That said, those behind this effort totally ignore the primary danger his influence poses, and focus instead on a diversion from that.

I note they conclude with:
There is no desire for any media attention whatsoever.
Why not?

I also note the people behind the petition have registered their site through a proxy -- I'd feel better knowing who they are and that all motives are on the table.

The Time Has Come for Someone to Put His Foot Down. And That Foot is Me.

“I said at my State of the University address that there is zero tolerance on this campus for sexual assault and sexual harassment,” Old Dominion University President John R. Broderick wrote in a Facebook post. “This incident will be reviewed immediately by those on campus empowered to do so. Any student found to have violated the code of conduct will be subject to disciplinary action.” [More]
Kind of a tight-ass there, aren't you, Dean Wormer?

"Progressive" universities -- is it any wonder they've become enclaves of hive insect repression and intolerance?

This Was Just a Friendly Reminder

Constance Hester with the ATF said this is a good time to meet the community on a lighter note. [More]
Armed government workers telling citizens where they can't have guns and what they'll do if they catch them...

Sickening.

Inverting the Ratio

We used to count black Americans as 3/5 of a person. For reparations, give them 5/3 of a vote. [More]
A Marxist monopoly of violence. What could go wrong?

There's "progress" for ya.

Then there's this:
I wrote that mentioning the word reparations shuts down convos about race;I was wrong. It's worse. Silence is preferrable to hate it elicits.
No, you mean the hate you elicit by advocating tyranny.

No need to ask how a twisted, self-entitled meathead such as this gets a megaphone to spew his subversive crap -- the people rewarding him for doing so benefit from the divisiveness their tool helps create.

Lady Gag

Is this really necessary? [More]

Taking Stock of the Situation

Uh-oh... time for some manipulation along with redirection.

Hey, look everybody: Celebrities being outrageous!

How Dare You Question Me?

Don't you know who I am? [More]

"Progressive" Neutrality

British artist Carl McCrow is asking the world's most successful filmmakers to make an unambiguous pledge: For every gun that appears in their movies, he wants them to destroy a real one ... This call-to-disarm is part of McCrow's "Gun Neutral" campaign... [More]
Yeah, that sure sounds neutral to me.  If you're in to Opposite Day...

As for high-profile supporter Martin Scorsese, what else would you expect from someone who "makes violence an art"?

New York, New York

It's a wonderful town! [More]

Then there's this observation:
Nobody stepped in to break up the street fight, with spectators instead intently watching it or milling around once it ended.
I'm sure the reporters and the New York Daily News editorial board could have shown us all how it's done.

As long as we're there, let's take in all the sights:


I could go on in this direction, but there's another side trip we need to take, just to validate those Sullivan Laws Emperor Bloomberg fantasizes about imposing on the rest of us under force of state arms:


Actually, the lyrics in "On the Town" were changed from "Helluva" to "Wonderful," to make things acceptable to Production Code sensitivities of the time. Sounds to me like they had it right the first time.

You know what would fix everything?

Banning horses.

Not the Way to Do It

There's a right way and there's a wrong way. [More]

Guess which way this was.

One Time Too Many

Detroit resident Darrell Standberry doesn't navigate streets of the Motor City without his licensed handgun, and it already has saved his life once. [More]
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, with the finest armed bodyguards money can buy, wishes it hadn't.
