Dem Rep Illustrates Standard Anti-Gun Stupidity Following Virginia Beach

Tuesday, June 4, 2019

AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite Anti-gun politicians have a standard script they tend to follow in the wake of a mass shooting. It seems that no matter what gun control bill they’re advancing, that is the key to averting the mass shooting.

It’s not about lives to them, but legislation. Unless Nadler is a complete and total moron–a fact I’m not willing to rule out completely–he knows there’s not any information to suggest that HR8 would have made any difference in this shooting. None whatsoever. He just hopes that the voters are too freaking stupid to catch this fact.

*** end quote ***

I often wonder about politicians and bureaucrats, who push their agendas and pet projects regardless of their applicability to the situation at hand.  I think we need a special adjective to describe this behavior and I can’t think of one that applies.

Maybe you the reader can help?

It’s worst than “dishonest”.  It’s worse than “despicable”.  It’s worse than “deplorable”.

Argh!

Attkisson: 10 Questions I’d Ask Robert Mueller (If I Were Allowed) | Zero Hedge

Tuesday, June 4, 2019

Does it concern you that the FBI claimed “collection tool failure” in stating that 19,000 text messages between former FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strozk had been deleted and were unavailable for review by the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general? Is it worth investigating how the inspector general was able to recover the messages, when the FBI said it could not? Does the FBI lack the technical expertise, or the will? Isn’t it a serious issue that should be addressed, either way?

If this IT guy was on Wall Street, he’d have been fired on the spot!

That’s only because having that person “drawn and quartered” is permitted.

Gunsmith uses 19th Century technology to fight ridiculous gun laws

Monday, June 3, 2019

To comply with California’s ridiculously ineffective SB 880 gun law, AR-15 owners must use a fixed magazine. With this configuration, shooters must disassemble the firearm in order to load a second magazine. Gunsmiths across the country have been developing new concepts to sidestep these backwards laws. Mean Arms went the other direction and looked to […]

Meet the MA Loader, a detachable polymer loading device that attaches to the weapon’s ejection port. What’s basically a 10-round stripper clip in a plastic guide lets the shooter rapidly feed fresh rounds into the fixed magazine. After the MA Loader is removed the bolt slams shut and chambers the first round.

I love when the “free market” satisfies demand and frustrates the Gooferment’s politicians and bureaucrats efforts.

EconomicPolicyJournal.com: Solving the Homeless Situation in American Cities

Monday, June 3, 2019

Finally, I would eliminate government schools, which in the inner cities does nothing but destroy minds and spirit–and distorts the thinking of youth in all other non-inner city schools.I am, more and more, beginning to think that government schools are the most dangerous institutions in America. I would end government-funded “education” of all kinds, including for all public schools and for all voucher programs.

Good luck with that.  I agree completely.  But the Gooferment Skrules are politically controlled by powerful unions that have the politicians and bureaucrats on a leash.  And, they are the closest thing to a national religion we have.

Short Circuit: A Roundup of Recent Federal Court Decisions – Reason.com

Monday, June 3, 2019

*** begin quote ***

  • The DEA classifies marijuana as a drug with no accepted medical use, akin to LSD and ecstasy (among others). But many turn to it for medical reasons, as do plaintiffs (a group of children and adults suffering from life-threatening medical problems), who sue the DEA to challenge its classification. Second Circuit (over a dissent): Alas, we cannot hear the case until you first ask the DEA to review it. But because the DEA is notoriously slow in reviewing classifications (petitions average nine years each), we will retain jurisdiction of this case so we can ensure speedy review.

*** end quote ***

Where is the treasure? Where are the assets? Where’s the loot?

Sounds like typical Gooferment bureaucrat “barbara streisand”!

The phrase “no accepted medical use” rings hollow when so many are using it as side-effect free pain reliever?

EconomicPolicyJournal.com: California Town Sees Businesses Vanish Following Minimum Wage Hike

Sunday, June 2, 2019

Representatives from the Mills College Lokey School presented data from its recent ‘business conditions’ survey to our City Council on Tuesday. The study confirmed what restaurant owners warned when the ordinance was hastily passed in 2015. They are struggling, rapidly raising menu prices and increasingly looking to leave. …It’s getting harder to find small food service businesses that were around in 2015 when the MWO was passed. Emeryville institution Bucci’s, Commonwealth, Farley’s, Scarlet City … all gone. In fact, nearly all the brick & mortar businesses that comprised the short-lived Little City Emeryville small business advocacy group have moved, folded or sold. …The survey also identified that “the restaurant industry is clearly struggling.” Specifically, small, independent, non-franchise establishments are having the most difficulty.

The politicians and bureaucrats don’t understand the Laws of Economics are just like the Laws of Physics and not like the “Laws” that Gooferment passes.

It’s really unfair to use the same word “law” to apply to the fundamentals of the Universe and the diktats of politicians!  If the Eskimos can have a lot of words for snow, then the English language should have two different words for “Universal Laws” and “political diktats”!

Argh!

Federal Subsidies Spur Massive Fraud | Cato @ Liberty

Friday, May 31, 2019

One of the problems with federal hand-out programs is that individuals take advantage of them and scam artists outright loot them. You see this in programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, school lunches, earned income tax credits, housing aid, student loans, and farm subsidies.Daily Beast writer Evan Wright has an appalling story of Christopher Bathum, who looted addiction-treatment funds made available by the Obamacare law. The law required addiction-treatment funding by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies.

Sorry but all Gooferment “handouts” have “Unintended Consequences”.

The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

North Korea executes a special envoy to the United States | Daily Mail Online

Thursday, May 30, 2019

Kim Jong-un is believed to be carrying out a massive purge following the failed U.S.-North Korea summit earlier this year after a special envoy to the U.S., Kim Hyok Chol (pictured), was executed.

Sounds like Kim would be prefect for a Wall Street job.  Maybe a Wall Street regulator?

In his first day on the job training manual should have a chapter on “You can’t call the secret police to execute a Wall Streeter who fails to follow your regulation or anyoneelse who displease you.”   (Hmmm, I guess that’s true if your name isn’t Clinton.)

Wow.  Wonder who want this guy’s job next?

Killing Assange? – May 30th Update

Thursday, May 30, 2019

RPI Board Member Judge Andrew Napolitano hits the nail squarely on the head:

Why was Assange indicted? Government killers are a mob, and mobs love anonymity. Assange assaulted their love by ending that anonymity. When the government kills and rejoices and lies about it in our names, we have a right to know of its behavior. Democracies spy on us all, yet they persist in punishing, to the ends of the earth, those who dare to shine a light upon them. Tyrannies do the same.
