You study, I'm beat
Yes the shoulder's improving. It's still taking a lot out of me. So you get to the data, and I'm getting to flop.
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri:
the voters need to remedy their error in electing him.
Really, Sheriff?
Remember that violent idiot running the Colorado ACLU chapter? "I didn't actually SAY that, but I mean every word of it!" Yeah, that makes it all better.
Well, of course he did.
A source told Jack Murphy of SOFREP that the FBI instantly believed the shooting, which left 14 dead, to be a clear act of terrorism. The White House, however, didn't feel the same way and quickly moved in to squash the terror classification.
This source added that as soon as the shooting took place, Obama convened a meeting with the National Security Council and the heads of other federal enforcement agencies to discuss a public relations strategy.

Yeah, when Obama's stirring up noise about gun control and 'Watch what you say!',
people aren't talking about this stuff:
Remember Solyndra? $535 million in loan guarantees up in smoke?
Heard about Solana? A solar power station built here in Gila Bend, AZ? The Dept. of Energy under Obama guaranteed $1.45 billion in loans for that project. And now the parent company, Spain's Abengoa, is on the brink of bankruptcy.
But wait! It gets better!
That, and the other stuff. Like ISIL, like the part Obama and Hillary played in collapsing Libya, that other stuff.
To the Democrats, anything that stops them from doing whatever they want to you is a “loophole.”
Or, as Tam put it, 'Loophole: people doing legal !(#* I don't like.'

From Michael Williamson,
on the recent thing in Britain of comparing sexual consent to serving tea:
HOW CONSENT AND TEA REALLY WORKS
Great Britain: Hey China, I want some tea.
China: Ummm...okay, I'll fix it for you-
Great Britain: No, I want to buy your tea and sell it myself.
China: I don't think so.
Great Britain: I'm selling your daughter opium and whoring her out until you see it my way.
China: Son of a Bitch! Get out of my house!
Great Britian: My army says dibs on the guest room.
China: How much silver is it going to take to make you gwai lo lay off?
Etc.

These people have balls
and I hope they've got good security to go with it. They're likely to need it.
He told “Fox & Friends” co-host Clayton Morris that members of the Muslim Reform Movement posted their declaration on mosques in the D.C.-area in a symbolic reference to Martin Luther’s reformation:
Make that BIG balls.

“Some of the members of our reform movement took it to the mosque in Washington, which is Saudi-affiliated, and put it on the door.Jasser added that he didn’t expect the mosque to join the movement.
And we have video of them putting it on the door, and handing it to them and saying, ‘We want a response from you about these things; and will you sign it and join us?’
If they don’t, they’re part of the first three or four steps of radicalization and Americans need to realize that.”
Make that BIG balls.
Damn. Democrats really hate due process, don't they?
"Governor Malloy is planning to take what is in our view unconstitutional executive action that would prohibit firearms purchases and seize firearms of individuals who have not been indicted or convicted for any crime.
While we are all concerned about terrorism, this approach is very
un-American and shameful”.
About what we've come to expect from these anti-rights bastards.
About what we've come to expect from these anti-rights bastards.
Apparently the ACLU dislikes the 2nd Amendment only
when someone else uses it; when some ACLU asshat is planning murder, it's a wonderful thing.
The thing is, we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, “This is Goebbels. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before election day.” They’re not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there’s always force, as Laurie would say.
Bitch, you make me want to announce "I like Trump!", and tell you 'Come get some.'

Another side-effect of "We bombed a truck and an outho- ah, ISIL outpost!"
being declared a victory: "Damn, we could really use those bombs and missiles we wasted on that crap."
Yeah, I yelled about the bomb/missile shortage before; Weaponsman brings in this somewhat-different viewpoint.
Problem is, we just spent somewhere between a half million and a million, and risked at least four aircrew lives, to engage an enemy that wouldn’t exist absent the power vacuum created by us bugging out, and to blow the living daylights out of a (probably empty) $25k truck.
And now we’re running low on the essential ingredients of FOOM.
Including some history:
Funny, last time we used jets instead of Western Union to “send a message,” we ran out of bombs too, and we didn’t seem to get the message across to Ho Chi Minh, either.
As Tam said a while back,
Can you imagine Gen. "Pete" Quesada, whose IX Fighter Command carpeted northern France with dead Germans, putting out a press release to acknowledge the destruction of a guard shack? That is the inherent problem with the administration trying to convince the world that we're serious about ISIS. The world (ISIS included) knows what we look like when we're serious, and this ain't it.

But turning him loose was such a WONDERFUL idea, right, Mr. President?
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a new video featuring a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani.
In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012.
Qosi joined AQAP in 2014 and became one of its leaders. Qosi and other AQAP commanders discussed their time waging jihad at length in the video, entitled “Guardians of Sharia.”
You've got two choices: Obama is stupid enough to actually believe "A gesture such as this from Me will change them", or he knew- and wanted- they'd go right back to it.
Yeah, it's just marvelous how the ACLU standards change when they have a chance to whack at a right they don't like, isn't it?
At the time of the American founding, it was widely understood that there was a real danger in a government’s attempting to deprive the people of what Alexander Hamilton called their “original right of self-defense.” This is why, when it came to writing the Constitution, the anti-Federalists, who feared the government’s potential to become corrupt, refused to sign on to a more powerful national government until they had been promised certain explicit protections. Then, as now, their logic was clear: It makes no sense to allow the representatives of a free people to disarm their masters.
Reacting to this argument, we often hear advocates of gun control propose that the Founders’ observations are irrelevant because they could “not have imagined the modern world.” I agree with the latter assertion: They couldn’t have. As well-read in world history as they were, there is no way that they could have foreseen just how prescient they were in insisting on harsh limitations of government power. In their time, “tyranny” was comparatively soft — their complaints focused on under-representation and the capricious restriction of ancient rights. In the past century, by contrast, tyranny involved the systematic execution of entire groups and the enslavement of whole countries. The notion that if James Madison had foreseen the 20th century he would have concluded that the Bill of Rights was too generous is laughable.
CBS: Professional Journalism.
Idiots.
Unfortunately for CBS News, they mistake ATF National Firearms Act (NFA) registration data on rare and heavily regulated firearms such as machine guns, short barreled shotguns, and silencers, for some mythical "national registration database" for all firearms.
Gee, the media is full of crap in their attack on Scalia? This is my shocked face.
Most of these reports came out before the transcript was released, based on accounts of those who were in the courtroom at the time (oral arguments are never televised). But once the transcript emerged, it turned out that critics had jumped the gun. Scalia wasn’t sharing his own views, he was asking about a very serious academic critique of affirmative action that others had made.

Stali- excuse me, Jerry Brown really likes controlling people,
doesn't he?
Later, at the site where world leaders are meeting to negotiate a climate pact outside of Paris, Brown urged a small crowd to “never underestimate the coercive power of the central state in the service of good.”
“You can be sure California is going to keep innovating, keep regulating,” the Democratic governor said. “And, shall I say, keep taxing.”
Old warning: "The power to tax is the power to destroy." Which is what this statist bastard and the Democrat Party are doing to Californicated. And they plan to keep on doing it.
There's a quote on the sidebar which fits this very well:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.
And this crap on 'green energy' companies:
K.R. Sridhar, chief executive officer of the fuel cell company Bloom Energy, said,
“There’s almost nothing in the post-industrial age, no business, no industry that ever got started or ever flourished without policy support, without subsidy and without federal support.”
He cited as examples the Internet and the aviation industry. Roads that support commerce, he said, are built with taxpayer money.
It would be wrong to “single out” the green-technology industry, he said, because it only needs a “helping hand,” not a permanent subsidy.
Really? 'no business, no industry' can start or flourish without subsidy? Mr. Sridhar, you're a liar. You really want Brown & Co. to keep giving you other peoples money, don't you?
Californicated, you really are screwed.

"Screw terrorism and piles of bodies, you didn't say
what I wanted you to!"
Immediately after the San Bernardino terror attack, the President of the United States was said to be initially interested in the events to the point of outright excitement for the opportunity to once again make a call for enhanced federal gun control measures – which he did.
Within hours of the attack it became clear to federal officials that Islamic terror played an integral role.
Once that was known, Mr. Obama’s enthusiasm is said to have “waned considerably.” And then when the L.A. FBI office went public with calling San Bernardino a terrorist attack, both Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett went into “warpath mode.”
Just go read it. I don't know about otherwise, but this FBI director seems unwilling to be a puppet, and it's driving them nuts.
And the media, again, is playing along
When Director Comey went ahead with a planned press conference on the issue, Jarrett sent Attorney General Loretta Lynch there to oversee the Director’s statements on the San Bernardino attack. Included in that press conference was a moment the Mainstream Media then attempted to hide as Jarrett operatives terminated the Director’s public comments when he moved away from his Jarrett-approved script via an attempt to open the press conference to questions from the media.
A video of that unsettling moment is still available below. You can witness it at approximately the six-minute mark:
Hey, Eric Schmidt, here's something for you to filter: Go fuck yourself with a splintery shovel handle, you freedom-hating, PC-brained moron.

"No military assets close enough.
Nothing could be done."
Miserable, lying, corrupt bastards.
The Sept. 11, 2012, email was sent at 7:19 p.m. EST by then-Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash. The text reads:
“I just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S [an apparent reference to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton]
“After consulting with General Dempsey, General Ham and the Joint Staff, we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak. They include a [REDACTED].
“Assuming Principals agree to deploy these elements, we will ask State to procure the approval from host nation. Please advise how you wish to convey that approval to us [REDACTED].”
Among the recipients of Bash’s email are Jacob Sullivan, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman, and Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides.
Every God-damned one of them. Liars. Bastards who left people to die.

A suspected burglar has been killed by an alligator while hiding out in a pond.
Chomp.
Why the ACLU can never be trusted:
“The American Civil Liberties Union is taking no position on legislation that would bar people from buying guns if they are on the federal government’s no-fly list — a list that the ACLU has spent the past five years arguing is unconstitutional.”
Yeah, they'll defend your rights. As long as it's rights they approve of.
Would've been nice if Lynch had read it before she decided to violate that oath she swore to uphold it.
Of course, she'll still try to do this crap, she just realized what heat that 'protected species' crap is generating.
This is only a surprise if you're an idiot.
Intelligence officials have determined that Islamic extremists have explored using the refugee program to enter the United States, they told the head of the Homeland Security Committee.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) revealed portions of a classified letter from the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) on Monday, which offered new claims not previously disclosed by the Obama administration.
And what seems the really important thing to The Hill?
The disclosure could give ammunition to critics of the White House’s refugee plans who have warned that the program is vulnerable to infiltration by adherents of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
I mean, damn, they've openly SAID they're using the refugee mess to move people into Europe and planned to do it in the US, too. But I guess this being part of a Official Intelligence Discovery makes it real.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Burwell awarded a rarely used open-ended sole-source contract to a firm whose corporate owners were embroiled in a $400 million fraudulent medical data scheme that cheated doctors and consumers, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
The company Burwell selected is Optum Labs, which is part of United Health Group’s Optum subsidiary. Andrew Slavitt, President Barack Obama’s nominee to head HHS’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), was formerly a top Optum executive at the time of the fraudulent database involved in the scheme. The database enabled insurers to pay dramatically lower reimbursements to doctors and patients for out-of-network care.
Wonderful, isn't it?
But wait!
There's MORE!
Slavitt was granted a rare “ethics waiver” by the Obama administration that permits him to rule on issues involving past employers.

And the same bastards behind this will wonder
why nobody trusts the cops or the prosecutors.
Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez's decision not to charge a Chicago police officer who fatally shot Ronald Johnson III was made after virtually no independent investigation by her office and despite a police dashboard-camera video that shows Johnson being shot in the back while running from police, the lawyer for Johnson's family said Monday.
...
But Oppenheimer said several officers he took depositions from said they were allowed to watch the dash-cam video back at the Area Central police headquarters before any official reports were written. After viewing the video and seeing that Johnson had never turned, detectives filed a case report that day stating that Hernandez feared that "at any moment" Hernandez "could fire shots" at him or other officers on the scene, according to a copy of the report supplied by Oppenheimer on Monday.
Oppenheimer said the report was written in legal language that was clearly tailored to match what was in the video. "This is a cover-up from the beginning," he said.
Yes, I know, various possibilities. Problem is, between some of the WTH? in this, and the other mess that recently blew up... well, would YOU trust them?

Higher Education
A biology professor at the University of California, Irvine subjected his class to an off-topic discourse on gun control Thursday in response to the San Bernardino shootings.
In a video provided to Campus Reform by Peter Van Voorhis, a student in the class, Prof. Richard Symanski advises his introductory-level Biological Sciences 1A course—specifically singling out the many freshmen that he knew would be in attendance—that if they are looking for a cause with which to become involved, they should "probably jump on this gun issue," noting that it "just boggles my mind every time I think about it."
Must be nice having a captive audience, with everyone who disagrees afraid to do so because you've got control of their grades.
In response: oh, the sounds of heads exploding would be deafening...
Why do we argue about gun control when we could easily make it about gun control? Here’s what I want to hear from the best current Presidential candidate:
Sen. Cruz: “It is an outrage…it is an abomination…that millions of Americans cannot obtain weapons with which to defend their families, while wealthy Americans can hire armed guards for themselves. And so I submit the Fairness in Firearms Act: in any jurisdiction in which law-abiding Americans are not guaranteed their 2nd Amendment rights, no private bodyguards or security firms can be so armed while defending their clients.”
“This also applies to off-duty LEOs and military personnel. Of course, as they may be called to duty at any time, their weapons can be present but peace-bonded, kept in trunks, etc.”
The BBC is covering itself in crap again.
The BBC broadcast an obscure programme on state radio on August the 5th, on Radio 4, called “what’s the point of the MET office?”, which allowed the voice of climate skepticism onto British broadcast radio. As a result of this massive breach of BBC policy, there has been a major internal inquiry, and several BBC officials have been sent on mandatory climate re-education courses.
This is scary stuff; this is Soviet. In once-Great Britain.

went something like this:
"I want an Executive Order banning this and licensing that!"
(various Democrats)"Are you trying to DESTROY us?"
"I have a pen!"
"And we don't have to support your crap! We want to STAY in these offices, and if you do this- it's an ELECTION YEAR, you idiot! Just stick with "We must be tolerant", and hit on the no-fly list; enough people will believe that that it'll get you through your speech without killing us."
Etc.
So we get a speech that
"I have everything under control.
The important thing is to make sure we don't offend any muslims.
I want you to let me take your guns away based on a secret list that we don't even have to tell you if or why you're on it."
Borrowing from Insty,
Because when people are talking about gun control, they’re not talking about Obama’s many failures, ranging from the failures of vetting and counterterrorism that may have led to the San Bernardino attacks themselves, to Obama’s foreign policy debacles in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, to how the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag campaign against Boko Haram accomplished nothing, to how Putin is running wild in Eastern Europe, to Obama’s plans to import more poorly-vetted refugees from Muslim countries that foment terror or the still-anemic economy that has left far too many Americans unemployed or underemployed despite years of “recovery".

A milestone passed!
Well, I rolled the bike out of the garage, anyway. First time in more than a month. So I could start it. Turned the key, pushed the button, and on the third crank it fired and ran normally(yay modern engineering! Yay battery tender! Yay Sta-Bil!). And, it being Sunday morning and almost no traffic, after it warmed up I pulled on the helmet(interesting with about 1.3 arms) and gloves, and rode it.
Mind you, had to give my right arm a slight boost to get it on the grip(think Inspector Kemp in Young Frankenstein), and I wouldn't have even thought about it if there'd been any real traffic(among other things, if various people had known they'd have thrown fits). But a mile down the road, then back, had it a full operating temp for a bit, and cleaned the dust off while it cooled.
It's back in the garage now. But it felt really good to ride, even a short hop like that.

I'd say the man isn't a fan of the EffingBI or the media:
What could the terrorists’
motive possibly be? How many times did
you hear that absurd question asked? Were you yelling at the TV set too?
And how come no networks replayed Obama saying three weeks ago that ISIS was “contained?” Think they’d have given George Bush that kind of pass?
Neither cops nor the media dared tell the un-PC truth, that this was yet another terror attack by Muslims, one of whom was an alien. Nobody from Boston has any illusions about the FBI — Famous But Incompetent. But they’re worse than ever. Did you see that G-man from the LA office, making like Inspector Clouseau — “I suspect everyone, I suspect no one.”
Was kind of amazing, wasn't it? "We're going to leave ourselves every possible out to not say the 'T' word, because it makes the President and the AG unhappy.* And the media... first report I heard on this: 'Three white males'. And the PP hysteria("There's a PP office only 20 minutes away, could it have started as an attack on them?!?") was amazing.
And our President. Who STILL won't call it a terrorist attack, STILL says "Maybe workplace violence."
That’s Barack Obama’s favorite excuse for terrorism. And you know the best way to fight terror — I mean workplace violence. Common-sense gun-safety laws. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Common sense — take away the guns from law-abiding people so that they can’t defend themselves against the terrorists and the gangbangers who don’t give a flying bleep about the law.
Yeah, the same man who starts commenting and insulting cops and whoever gets in the way of a victim class while the mess is still going on, immediately starts "We need more gun laws! It's the Democrats main chorus, hell, after PARIS they were insisting WE need more gun laws.
And the media shills doing everything they can to make excuses for the murderers of fourteen people("Maybe they were made uncomfortable! One of the victims had argued with him! Did we/they DRIVE THEM TO IT?") is sickening. A terrorist/s could specifically target a media outlet and slaughter half the people in the building, leaving notes that "You die for the leaders of ISIS and ALLAH!", and the rest of them would still try to blame the US for it.
And let us not forget the No-Fly List: "If you're too dangerous to fly, you're too dangerous to be allowed to buy a gun!" Never mind even the EffingBI and DHS can't tell you how many people are on it, or actually why; never mind all the people there for bullshit, or pure error; never mind that the Democrats(lots of Republicans, too, but they're not the ones trying to use it to disarm people) used to HATE that list because of the protected species who wound up on it; NOW it's a WONDERFUL thing!
And, of course, the borders. That the previous cackling idiot running DHS insisted 'is more secure than ever before', and the current cackling idiot continues to parrot that. No, none of those people sneaking across could possibly be a threat, nooooo...
As a side note, to every Republican who helped put Lynch in the AGs office: thanks a lot, you chickenshit bastards.

About that no-fly list
that Obama & Co. think should be sufficient to take away a basic enumerated right(not to mention prevent you from flying):
A hearing in federal court Tuesday has apparently marked the conclusion of a drawn-out, costly, and, to use the judge’s own term, “Kafkaesque” legal battle over the government no-fly list. Malaysian college professor Rahinah Ibrahim sued the government back in 2006, after Dr. Ibrahim’s name mistakenly ended up on a federal government no-fly list.
Last month, US District Judge William Alsup ruled that Ibrahim must be removed from the government's various watchlists. At Tuesday's hearing, a Department of Justice lawyer said that the government did not intend to appeal the ruling. The ruling in Ibrahim v. DHS calls into question the government's administration of its controversial no-fly list as well as other terrorist watch lists, but it leaves no clear roadmap for other people wrongly placed on such lists.
This garbage we're supposed to trust? Really?
But Ibrahim's case, as just one of hundreds of thousands of individuals who have been placed on such lists, shows the system's opacity. First, the only surefire way to even determine if one is on such a list in the US is to attempt to board a flight and be denied. Even after that happens, when a denied person inquires about his or her status, the likely response will be that the government “can neither confirm nor deny” the placement on such lists.
From the ACLU:
The 'redress' procedures the US government provides for those who have been wrongly or mistakenly included on a watchlist are wholly inadequate. Even after people know the government has placed them on a watchlist... the government's official policy is to refuse to confirm or deny watchlist status. Nor is there any meaningful way to contest one's designation as a potential terrorist and ensure that the US government... removes or corrects inadequate records. The result is that innocent people can languish on the watchlists indefinitely, without real recourse.
Get the feeling that a bunch of bureaucrats and agents in various 'security' places need to be beaten with clubs?
But according to Obama & Co., having rights stripped away based on this is just fine.

One more bigoted control freak tells us what she is
“We let the assault weapons ban, which was led by our senator Dianne Feinstein ,
we let that lapse. So you know, multiautomatic round weapons are easily
available, even though not in California, but they can cross the state
line, as you know,” Sanchez insisted.
Referring to the AWB that even the people who shoved it through admitted had nothing to do with crime control. And which didn't work. "But we want it back anyway!"
Not to mention the terrorists got the AR15s I think this clown is referring to. Right there in Californicated.
“The second thing is, we really haven’t done that much about mental health. I’ve been working with my colleague, Grace Napolitano here out of the Los Angeles area to try to get mental health services more available for people, and it hasn’t happened.”
Well, your party has controlled Californicated for- what, decades now? So if it hasn't happened, who's responsible?
“But then we have this thing called gun shows, which come into town, sell everything, don’t do these background checks.
Flat-out lie, but she doesn't care.
Question: Is she that stupid and dishonest on her own, or did she catch some of it from Ma'am Boxer?
The Professional Journalism of NBC. On full display. No wonder Brian Williams got away with his shit so long, he was among like-minded journalists.
Joe Huffman found a good one. You need to see this.
According to WaPo, “In 1993, there were seven homicides by firearm for every 100,000 Americans. … By 2013, that figure had fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 [per 100,000].”
Breitbart News previously pointed to this decline and explained it correlated with a massive increase in privately owned firearms over the same period of time.
...So gun ownership increased for 20 years, but “gun homicides” decreased–except in gun free zones.
Yeah. Mostly evil white males. Except it's not.
A: The woman went through the vetting process- which the State Department says works just fine- despite some, let's say 'warning signs'. And now CAIR and mouthpieces are out in droves, because the real victims here are muslims.
I'm sick to death of CAIR coming out and delivering ISIS' list of grievances to us, on behalf of Muslims worldwide, while at the same time claiming that Islam has nothing to do with ISIS.
Islam has nothing at all to do with ISIS; but, that said, here is our list of demands.
Speaking of CAIR and mouthpieces, who IS paying this lawyer?
And don't forget, it's actually our fault.
"How dare you show her face! It's disrespectful!" Well, Mr. Hashem Said, we don't have much respect for terrorist murderers. So take your outrage, fold it to eight corners, and shove it up your ass.
I don't doubt it. Especially the last.
**Barack Obama is said to have asked during an earlier meeting regarding the San Bernardino terrorist attack how best they, “control the message on this.” Jarrett operatives have apparently already reached out to and continue to then remind supportive media figures to describe San Bernardino as a “shooting” and not connect it to Islamic terror.
It seems the administration’s motivation will continue to demand the terror attack be used as yet another tool for further calls for federal gun control laws despite ever-increasing evidence the attack in San Bernardino was exclusively the result of Muslim terrorism. FBI Director James Comey appears increasingly unwilling to play along with the Obama White House’s insistence the actual terror threat be downplayed while the push for gun control be expanded.
—————-
UPDATE: Rumors now circulating that Barack Obama recently stood over Director Comey, who was seated at the time, and inquired whose side the FBI Director was on. Apparently the two men have been at odds for months, including Comey’s repeated repudiation of the Black Lives Matter movement and its highly negative impact upon law enforcement morale.
"I put you in that job, you're supposed to do and say what I tell you!"
And the last thing I have for now: you realize this means that if the other 75% of those sorties had actually dropped munitions on the bad guys, we'd probably be dry? And how long it's going to take to begin to replace enough of this to make a difference?

Yep, it's that time
Damn good thing, too; took daughter to dinner, I'm now full and sleepy, and the ache has eased off, so good time for some study
Yeah, I'd wondered about this
The media kept yelling "All the guns legally purchased!" at the same time the murderers hadn't bought the rifles(which brings up "You mean a federal violation for straw purchases?"). And, as I'd thought,
While they were originally sold legally, with magazine locking devices commonly known as bullet buttons, the rifles were subsequently altered in different ways to make them more powerful, according to Meredith Davis, a special agent with the ATF.
The Smith & Wesson rifle was changed in an attempt to enable it fire in fully automatic mode, while the DPMS weapon was modified to use a large-capacity magazine, she said.
Those alterations made the weapons unlawful under California’s ban on assault weapons, which bans guns with magazines that can detach for quick reloading.
Yes, it's an idiotic statement to say to make them more powerful ; it IS coming from ATF. Basic point stands: they were modified in violation of both state and federal laws.
But the gun bigots and the media, which is mostly Democrat operatives with bylines, will keep claiming we just need one more law, and all will be wonderful!

One of the problems with this shoulder mess
is that you need to move things around to help keep the joint from stiffening up, but you've got to be pretty careful about not doing too much, and/or too soon. I've also been, bluntly, kind of terrified of doing something(a slip, a fall, something being grabbed by reflex) that might injure the joint again and cause me to have to start this all over from scratch.
So, yesterday, when something slid under my foot and I fell, the only thing that went through my mind was "PROTECT IT!" While screaming something unprintable as I went down. Happily, I did manage to tuck it out of the way and took the impact on the left arm, and all seems ok.
However, this just reinforces the 'protect it at almost all costs' mindset. Which makes it even harder to get anything done other than sit here, or read. I've got a bunch of branches in the back yard I need to drag around for pickup, but that means left-hand only, and with the yard still wet and a bit slick in spots, being very damned careful while I do it.
'Course, it could be worse; this could be before this surgery was possible, and I'd have to live with my shoulder and arm becoming less and less useful.

Ma'am Boxer: dumb as a box of rocks,
or Obama making a pronouncement in Paris, take your pick.
“Sensible gun laws work, we’ve proven it in California, and we’re not gonna give up.”
What she did not note is that the shooting yesterday––the one that they reacted with such emotion and passion to––happened in California.
You'll note Mediaite claims that Californicated gun laws 'have helped reduce gun deaths'; wonder if they include gang-banger and illegal alien-connected deaths in that, or do they
discount those, like Obama discounts mass shootings in nations he doesn't want to mention?

"Of course these laws wouldn't have stopped this attack. But we want them anyway!"
Which is what you'd expect from these clowns.
No kidding?
As video footage played of police closing on the San Bernardino Muslim couple who committed at least 14 murders and injured 17 others in San Bernardino Wednesday, the CNN guest professed the obvious.
“I think one thing that’s clear though, is that… none of these things occurring have anything to do with climate change.”

'Workplace violence' my ass
No matter how they try to spin it
...
The source said the vehicle also contained so-called “rollout bags” with multiple pipe bombs, as well as additional ammunition. The couple also had GoPro cameras strapped to their body armor and wore tactical clothing, including vests stuffed with ammunition magazines.
Farook and his wife left their 6-month-old girl with Farook’s grandmother Wednesday and said they had a doctor’s appointment.
They abandoned their child? Okay, stop. This was not driven by a
workplace dispute. To leave your infant child and then commit horrific
violence that is likely to lead to your death from police action
requires an almost otherworldly devotion to . . . some other cause, something you consider more important than life, death, and the inherent biological urge to protect your offspring.
“Larry from accounting keeps taking the last doughnut at staff
meetings” or “they took my red Swingline stapler” isn’t the sort of
motive at work here....
The source said the vehicle also contained so-called “rollout bags” with multiple pipe bombs, as well as additional ammunition. The couple also had GoPro cameras strapped to their body armor and wore tactical clothing, including vests stuffed with ammunition magazines.
“That’s a military tactic for a sustained fight,” the source told Fox News of the rollout bags.
That’s the sort of thing you bring if you want to make videos to
terrorize other people, and rally others to their cause or ideology . . .
it also would explain why they left the scene instead of staying to
shoot it out with police at the social services facility. They intended
to live to tell the tale, at least for a while.
Why so many Democrat(and a few Republicans of 'proper' words) get away
with the crap they do: most of the media is either in their pocket or up their ass.
'Disgusting' is a good word. Had any journalist worth being called a reporter actually cared to, and had an editor with some balls, piles of this crap could've come out a long time ago.
Ever notice that Obama & Co. have nothing to say about another weekend of carnage in Chicago, but when they want to pump up the 'MASS SHOOTINGS!' numbers, every one of the incidents gets thrown in?
Insty has a reminder of what a Clinton staffer said:
“We have yet to propose anything that people think will make any difference. The people who are generally for gun control don’t make it a voting issue because it has no real impact on their lives. On the other hand, the inconvenience and hassle of wading through another round with indifferent and incompetent bureaucrats and the fear that this is only the first step toward more radical measures are quite real to people who own guns.”
Then came the real bombshell:
“Much as I hate to say it, the NRA is effective primarily because it is largely right when it claims that most gun control measures inconvenience and threaten the law-abiding while having little or no impact on violent crime and criminals.”

And a bunch of the left, once again, demonstrate what shitbirds they are
Today, all the typical imbeciles were on the same page. From The Nation to Huffington Post to this guy...
...the leftwing sure appeared to be in a coordinated mockery of offering "thoughts and prayers" to victims of shootings.
Gee, ya think maybe?
On whether the attack is terrorism, Bowdich said he was "still not willing to say that we know this for sure," but said some adjustments were being made to the investigation.
"It is a possibility, but we don't know that yet," he said. "We will go where the evidence takes us... when we are fairly sure we'll let you know."
Bowdich added "there's a few potential things" that point toward terrorism.
Also,
Two suspects in the SUV were killed in the gunbattle with police: one male, one female, both dressed in "assault-style clothing," both armed with assault rifles and handguns. The chief added that "sensitive stuff" was discovered around the vehicle.
That mean Dianne Feintstein will now introduce the 'Public Safety Ban of Assault Clothing Act of 2015?
And, as expected, every blood-dancing bigot and hoplophobe out there is screaming at the tops of their lungs for 'MORE GUN LAWS!'
Other
countries must have fewer mass shootings because their conservative
politicians offer thoughts and prayers more vigorously.

Gee, ya think maybe?
On whether the attack is terrorism, Bowdich said he was "still not willing to say that we know this for sure," but said some adjustments were being made to the investigation.
"It is a possibility, but we don't know that yet," he said. "We will go where the evidence takes us... when we are fairly sure we'll let you know."
Bowdich added "there's a few potential things" that point toward terrorism.
Also,
Two suspects in the SUV were killed in the gunbattle with police: one male, one female, both dressed in "assault-style clothing," both armed with assault rifles and handguns. The chief added that "sensitive stuff" was discovered around the vehicle.
That mean Dianne Feintstein will now introduce the 'Public Safety Ban of Assault Clothing Act of 2015?
And, as expected, every blood-dancing bigot and hoplophobe out there is screaming at the tops of their lungs for 'MORE GUN LAWS!'
Part 652 or so of "The hell nobody wants to take your guns"
Part 652 or so of "The hell nobody wants to take your guns":
Deputy Attorney General Thiruvendran Vignarajah of the People's Republic of Maryland:
...Over drinks, the woman asks him "off the record" about guns.
"My complete answer, off the record, is we should ban guns altogether, period," he said. "If you want gun practice with a gun, you can go to the gun range and then you leave it there and you go home."
He said, in his opinion, personal ownership of firearms should be limited to law enforcement and to individuals who pass licensing tests, pay a tax, have insurance and, as technology allows, have fingerprint trigger locks.
Isn't that nice of him? "Jump through all my hoops and I may allow you to have a firearm locked-up at a range, peasant."

This was a really stupid place to make this statement
...Obama went on to say he hopes the latest incident will ignite conversations at all levels of government to reduce gun violence that he said “just doesn’t happen in other countries.”The failed President delivered his diatribe from Paris, France, where 130 were murdered and 368 were injured in terror attacks just two weeks ago,the majority of whom were gunned down by Islamic terrorists.
I can only figure that he thinks the left- which includes most of the media- won't care about the bullshit, as long as what he says feeds the Preferred Narrative.
Slight problem: even some of the usually-tame media seems to be saying "Uh, just a minute there, Sparky":
...Is his statement true? In one sense, the answer would be “yes.” President Obama’s statement was in the form of: “Every time X happens, I say Y.” As a historic self-description of Obama’s own rhetoric, Obama’s statement is mostly true, but only in recent years.
...
Is the president’s statement about “other countries” accurate? No. For example, on Nov. 20, 2015, mass shooters attacked a hotel in Mali, murdering at least 19 people.
There's a list of others, then
Perhaps President Obama does not know about the above events or believes that for some reason that mass shootings in Africa, Asia or Latin America don’t “count.” This is a surprising perspective for someone who, in his autobiography, claims to have closely studied the works of radical anti-colonialist “Franz [sic] Fanon” and to have spent much time discussing “Eurocentrism” with his Columbia University friends.
Suppose we accept the president’s implicit premise that “other countries” includes only the most-developed countries of the West. With this limitation, what is the accuracy of his statement that “these mass shootings; this just doesn’t happen in other countries”? Plainly false, especially considering that the president was speaking in Paris, the site of multiple mass shootings on Nov. 13 and of the Charlie Hebdo mass shootings in January.
There's a lot more. At the end
As President Obama pointed out today, he has repeatedly made the same claim about “other countries” and mass shootings. When he did so last June, Politifact examined the issue, including the research of Professors Schildkraut and Elsass. Politifact rated the Obama claim “Mostly False.” Yet he continues to make the claim, speaking in a city with repressive gun control and which only 18 days ago suffered a horrific series of mass shootings. President Obama’s second book touted his “audacity,” and the president’s remarks today demonstrated chutzpah.
Personally, I'd say they 'demonstrated his usual method of lying and counting on his ass-kissers to back him up', but that's just me.
When is a mass-shooting not news?
When the facts don't fit the Preferred Narrative. Including at least one of the bad guys being
Black.
Convicted felon(cannot legally so much as pick up a firearm).
Out on a catch-and-release program.
And so much more.

Why the Tueller Drill came into being
If you're not familiar, the Drill is basically "Someone with a knife within 21 feet is an immediate lethal threat."
And if there's space, keep backing while shooting, because distance is your friend.

More and more, I'm so glad son can't be sent off as a 'This will prove I care!' pawn
by these corrupt bastards.
● Hillary Clinton calls for more ground troops as part of hawkish Isis strategy.
—The London Guardian, November 19th.
● Clinton can’t “conceive” any condition for combat troops in Iraq, Syria.
—CBS, yesterday.
Speaking of corrupt bastards,
President Obama on Monday promoted an official to be his top adviser in the fight against the Islamic State, one he fired from his presidential campaign in 2008 for talking to Hamas.
White Housespokesmanpaid liar(there, fixed it) Josh Earnest said Rob Malley, now a senior
director at the National Security Council, would be his senior adviser
for the counter-Islamic State program. Malley, a Clinton administration
alumni, will work closely with Brett McGurk, special presidential envoy
for the global coalition to counter the Islamic State, Earnest said.
"She can't pass the tests, but we need more women on the roster, so pass her. It'll be FINE!"
A firefighter who was allowed to graduate the Fire Academy despite failing physical tests has already gone out on medical leave — just 10 days into the job, The Post has learned.
Probationary firefighter Choeurlyne Doirin-Holder injured herself Monday while conducting a routine check of equipment at Queens’ Engine 308 in South Richmond Hill. Getting off the truck, Doirin-Holder missed a step and landed on her left foot, suffering a fracture, sources said. …
“If you’re going to get hurt in the firehouse checking a rig, what would happen at a fire?” an insider asked.
Silly bugger, the brass don't care about that; she filled various Diversity points, that's what's important.
I have a hard time writing about this, because it pisses me off so much.
"Yes, you want electricity, but we don't want you to have it unless it's green/sustainable/etc. enough to satisfy us. So we'll teach you how to make a clay firepot, use wood we'd really rather you not burn to fire it, then use more firewood you had to gather to power this gadget which will charge a phone, and the other small electronics we approve you having.
Powerplant? Dam? Lots of electricity? No, we don't approve that; not only would it not be Green, but it would ruin that primitive village ambiance we so approve of(since we don't have to live in it)!"
...Radical Islam is the ultimate in gender equality, in a way.
The blade against your throat doesn’t care what’s between your legs.
Radical Islam frightens feminists because it makes it just so clear how very privileged, revered, fortunate and favored Western women really are. If and when push comes to shove, feminists are going to have to swallow every hateful word they have ever written about the men in their own societies and plead for their protection. You think ISIS is scary on a satellite feed beaming in from thousands upon thousands of miles away?
Try them on your doorstep.
Because when ATF does it, it's not a problem. No matter what laws and regulations they break.

Wondered about this myself; or is cultural appropriation only bad
when it goes in one direction?
Half-Pakistani in descent, I feel a personal sense of guilt at how non-western countries have unapologetically oppressed their fellow nations. I’ve therefore taken it upon myself to compile a list of all the things the world has culturally appropriated from the west, in hope that this injustice might one day be corrected.
Why a peaceful majority may not matter.

The story from Australia about the police hiding data on crimes involving firearms?
Probably because it shows how badly their laws are working? The author has taken notice that "Those gun nuts in America, and the nasty NRA, are trying to use my report for their own ends!"
'Trying' my ass; Mr. Lekakis, you wrote about
Gun laws that aren't stopping armed crime,
Aren't keeping bad guys from committing crimes,
Are only screwing honest people around, and
How the usual suspects are playing the usual song of "The philosophy cannot be wrong! Do it again, ONLY HARDER!!"
And you expect us to ignore it? To not pass it around, as loudly as possible?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ahem.
In 2010, the Daily Show humiliated the United Food and Commercial Workers for hiring temporary workers at $8.25 an hour with no benefits to protest Walmart over low pay and lack of benefits.
...
Just a few months ago, the UFCW’s hypocrisy reared its head for the public eye to view as Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart) organizers claim they were fired by the UFCW for attempting to organize their own union.
No, the ranchers are NOT responsible for these dead illegals.
Also,
Human rights activist Eddie Canales said the woman is one of hundreds who die in the brush. He said the biggest obstacle to finding remains of missing people is getting access to do searches on private property.
Yeah, because illegals are already damaging their property, stealing, etc., that means the ranchers should be just THRILLED to let you run all over their land.
Response:
Kibbe said people dying on ranches are not the biggest problem. “This is after the fact. This is a symptom of the overall issue,” she said.
The main issue Kibbe said is people in the country illegally are fleeing from their homelands. She said human rights activists should change their focus from the ranches to Central America.
“I think if they want to help these people, they need to go down and help them in their countries,” Kibbe said.
This. See if these countries appreciate your efforts to make them no longer third-world shitholes that make risk of death crossing deserts and such to get somewhere else acceptable .
