Investigation into Alleged FBI Finicum Shooting Evidence Tampering Faces Credibility Hurdles

If confirmed, such evidence tampering at a crime scene would not just be a career-ender for those involved, it would be a crime that merits prison time. And while “Former FBI agents and criminal justice experts have said they’re baffled why elite FBI agents might hide the shots,” the incentive to engage in cover-up does not appear all that puzzling of a riddle. [More]
What possible reasons could there be for the FBI to remove casings from the scene of LaVoy Finicum’s shooting? Will we ever find out?

The American President

If I may, Sen. Cruz, someone endorsed by GOA finding that movie to be quote-worthy, especially from that scene, is problematic. [More]

Case in point:

'I Don't Deserve to Feel Afraid at My School'

Yes you do. [More]

If chalk scares you, that's precisely what you deserve.

Funny though, how your side can use it just fine.

Now crawl back into your Rights-Free Zone "safe space." That "No Guns" sign will give you all the protection you merit.

UPDATE:

So how exactly is saying you're going to hunt a student down supposed to make fragile psyches feel?  And "Trump 2016" is "racial intimidation"?

I guess that's no more ludicrous than "Reason" conflating standards for who should be welcome and how many can be accommodated with xenophobia, or that their writer is "horrified."

GIGO

It affects more than AI, and in fact explains much about how "real" people respond when beliefs are influenced by agendized inputs. [More]

Yes, but just look at all the amenities in this cage. [More]

Even the ones who enact and enforce citizen  disarmament edicts!

Perhaps Mr.Mason would care to weigh in?

Hey, I'm sure once they have theirs, they'll be happy to invite the rest of us to the table.

No?

Can't Be Trusted with a Gun

When I sit down and tell my story, I ask, “Do you think that a young man who would murder his dad a month later with a knife should be allowed to own firearms?” I don’t think there’s one person who would say yes. This would be an unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic having delusions going and purchasing firearms. I haven’t met one person at the Texas Capitol who has said yes. [More]
In other words, he can't be trusted without a custodian.

The Obvious Solution

Background checks and registration, of course! And no straw purchases! [More]

The Black Market will thank you.

We're the Only Ones Not Evident Enough

Two bullet casings that might have proven an FBI agent shot at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum apparently disappeared from the scene shortly after the Jan. 26 highway confrontation turned deadly, according to law enforcement sources and newly released police reports. [More]
No, really, we were just bending over to tie my shoe. Yes, of course I needed help.

Motormouth City Madman Redux

President Obama is dithering while the free world dies at the hands of these rabid monsters. If elected, there is every indication Mrs. Clinton will carry on with the guaranteed horror of self-inflicted multiculturalism that has turned so much of the world into a jihadist playground. [More]
You mean like the kind your buddy Grover wants to impose, Ted?

Go ahead, make my day. Argue that your actions don't contradict your words.

As long as he's going to ignore me, I might as well slap him in the face to  get his attention. So in the spirit of 'VLLA SELLA...":

Hey Zelman Partisans-- does language like this seem reminiscent of anything?
Never invite rats, mice or cockroaches into your home. Kill them all before they even get close. Exterminate them.
That's certainly problematic.

Are you still interested in him being your most famous member?

That was from January.  Anybody care to make that call now?

He was right about the "No Go" zones, too.

Ah well, if there's one thing the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists at The Times are experienced at, it's lying to everyone about enemies.

'Hard Right,' Establishment-Style

Sean Cairncross, the RNC’s chief operating officer, addressed a trio of exclusive, off-the-record gatherings that brought together many of the party’s most prominent hard-right voices, including the the Club for Growth, Family Research Council, and the Heritage Foundation. The gatherings, all in Washington, were the Conservative Action Project breakfast, anti-tax activist Grover Norquist’s Wednesday meeting, and what's known as the Paul Weyrich lunch, named after the late conservative activist. [More]
All pushing essentially the same "immigration" policy as Obama and Hillary.

Yes, Prof. Quigley? You had something to say?

Besides "It's a big club and you ain't in it"...?

A Hypothetical Match-Up


The people want Kasich!!! [More]

The people want more Islamist refugees and amnesty for illegal aliens! And fewer jobs! And "gun control"!

And what we REALLY want is a heartbeat-away-from-the-presidency Democrat running mate!

Feel that fire in your belly flaming up yet...?

What's "reality" got to do with it? Faux News said it, I believe  it, that settles it.

And one thing about about political polls:  There's a difference between "registered voters" and "high propensity voters." Curious, that for such potentially game-changing results, this one polled the former.

It's Free!

From a letter at the end of Camille Paglia's latest proof of bipolar disorder:
I went to the City College of New York in the ’60s. It was FREE ... I do not understand, and neither does my 96-year-old mother, why it was fine for me to have a free education, but not for the students of today. We both wish that Bernie would remind people of these facts when he talks about free college and gets chided for it. 
He gets chided for it because it's NOT "FREE." Somebody pays for it, whether they want to or not, or else.

For "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.
