Collectivist "journalist" Travis Gettys apparently gets all his story ideas from Sipsey Street.

"Suspicion has one thing in common with the usual virtues: it is only effective on condition that it allows of no exceptions." -- Robert Merle, Malevil.

Border militia plot evaporates into ‘cluster coitus’ as doubts arise over ‘commander’

I have been roundly criticized for my caution regarding the "Hey, let's run to the border and point rifles in the faces of children" plan of “Commander” Chris “Threepercenter” Davis. Davis apparently continues to disappoint in many quarters, including this carpet-chewing Internet broadcaster.

Obscenity warning:

It is also apparent that collectivist "journalist" Travis Gettys gets all his story ideas from Sipsey Street.

Ukraine’s Do-It-Yourself War

Ukraine’s military isn’t up to the task of fighting off pro-Russian separatists itself. So ordinary citizens are picking up the slack.

Feeling better. Might actually get to some original posts today.

Crapped out again last night and slept most of the night. I am painfully aware of how behind I am on my original posts and have a half-dozen in varying stages of completion. Will try to get some of them out today after the morning rush to take Rosey to work, etc.

You can't make this up. An article about police-enforced tumescence written by a guy named "Jackman."

Manassas City police say they will not serve search warrant in teen ‘sexting’ case

“Some of them have had gray hair and they're telling you that they're 17 years old and they have no documentation.”

Political fallout from underage illegals may spread far from the Rio Grande Valley

Regime tries to get ahead of the Benghazi hearings with selective leaks.

When you read this, ask yourself the old Marine counterintelligence officer's questions: "Why is this SOB telling me this? And why is this SOB telling me this NOW?"

Thin skin much? Regime sends member of the secret political police to investigate outbreak of double plus ungood wrongthink.

DOJ investigates Nebraska parade float critical of Obama

Holder plays the race card -- again. Hell, I don't care about his skin color. I do care about his criminal brain.

Holder sees 'racial animus' in opposition.

Holder: 'Homegrown Violent Extremists … Keep Me Up at Night'

‘Progressive’ critics confirm premise of Vanderboegh Texas speech

That was noted by “progressive” critics feigning shock -- shock -- that anyone would conclude that people who mean to rule by ignoring proper restraints on government can live in harmony with those who won't let them.

‘Dirty Harry’ Reid’s increasing eccentricity. "Eccentricity"? That's one way to put it.

"The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it." -- Paul-Muad'Dib Atreides, in Dune.

Harry Reid is channeling Emperor Shaddam and will continue to do so, right up to the point when his real masters tire of his inability to deliver the spice.

Senate majority leader practices politics of personal destruction

Pruden skewers Reid, but the fact of the matter is that Reid is a creature of the corrupt machine of casino owners in Vegas. When they tire of him, he'll be gone. The only question is, will the Koch brothers themselves tire of him and his attacks and use THEIR money to fund investigative journalism that will rip the mask off the gambling plutocrats who have created Harry and shielded him and the entire rotten structure that extends all the way down to the bumbling assassins who murdered Erik Scott four years ago? It strikes me that the Vegas criminal enterprise has two principal weaknesses. One is water and the public relations related to same. (One wonders what would happen if anti-Reid machine guerrillas started messing with the Vegas water supply in non-fatal but very creative ways? Will they, like the Guild Navigators in Dune, decide they've had enough of Emperor Shaddam?) The second is their allergic reaction to the antiseptic qualities of light. Like cockroaches, they only are happy operating in the dark. So far they have managed to do that. What happens to Harry if and when he makes enough powerful enemies that atrocities such as the Scott murder and the corrupt way it was covered up become the subject of real press attention? The Koch brothers have the money to do that. And there are certainly enough victims of the Vegas Machine who are willing to enlist in such a cause and aid it with leaks of what they know. Film at eleven, as they say.

AP Acts As If Only Dems Have Problems With Bloomberg's Ridicule of Two Colorado Cities.

The Post doesn't note any direct response by Hickenlooper to Bloomberg's insults.

Disorder at the Border

What Obama wrought.

Yesterday wiped me out as far as posts go.

Sorry, but I got home only to crap out on you. It is evident that doing the show and everything else that is required of me day-to-day on top of that was a bridge too far this close to my return from the CO trip. Getting old sucks. I have to be at the show again this morning but don't know whether I'll be there much past noon. For those of you who are there this morning, I'm at table B-46. Sorry. The spirit is willing but the flesh is still weak. For those of you who I met for the first time yesterday, I can't tell you how much I appreciated talking with you. You raised my spirits greatly.

Got some sleep yesterday and will be at the Birmingham AGCA gun show today working a table. Also, I'll be on Alan Collectivist Colmes radio show on Monday again.

Feeling a bit better after crapping out all evening yesterday. In any case, I have to work a table at the Birmingham gun show this weekend to help replenish the coffers from the CO trip. That means that I will be there both days, Lord willing. I'll be wearing the usual suspenders with my "Got Guns?" black hat. I will also take my computer and work on my Erik Scott post, as well as a response to the SPLC hit piece and other topics generated by my CO trip. So, I'll have more later.

Also, Mary Rydzeski, the Colmes radio show producer, called yesterday afternoon to ask if I would be on Mr. Collectivist's show Monday night at 6PM CDT. I expect they want to ask me about the SPLC calling me an "aging government-hating propagandist." Should be fun. Of course I am known to have a curious sense of fun.

Throwing away that Mandate of Heaven thing with both hands and kicking it down the street.

Obama Goes Rogue: Is He Having His ‘Katrina Moment’?

I was asked in Colorado why this whole self-delegitimization is important. I explained: you cannot pull off a Reichstag Fire unless the people believe the propaganda minister. You cannot persuade a skeptical people to surrender their sovereignty. Every self-inflicted blow to this wannabe tyrant's credibility makes it less likely that he will be believed in a crisis and more likely that he will be resisted.

But by not thinking through the incentives the current immigration mess creates—or at least not thinking about more than domestic political considerations—we now have two crises on our hands. The first involves the children. The second is a crisis of legitimacy as we have ceded our immigration policy to conditions abroad beyond our control.

Horrified collectivist gets around to reporting my speech in Big Spring, Texas.

Open-carry advocate: When our arguments fail, we must vote with our guns. The comments are priceless. Examples:

"When the civil war to end all civil wars is over the first thing we do is get rid of the Second Amendment."

"I wouldn't even want to be close enough to have to breath the toxic air this creep breathed out."

"I wonder if that jerk knows what comes from his septic mouth borders on incitement of sedition. Sedition, if convicted of it, can put you away for a long time."

"These fuckwits need to have secret service agents stepping on their heels 24/7."

Bloomberg comment exemplifies elitist gun-grabber snobbery

The reality is, as they’ve shown us time and again, and never once refuted, with “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. The thing these elite champions of the common man can’t seem to finesse (lie their way) around is that there is no more true egalitarian power sharing arrangement than that provided for in the Second Amendment. So what is it they demand? Its antithesis, a monopoly of violence...
