A Good Guy With A Gun: Fort Myers Edition
In an incident overnight, a law-abiding citizen with a carry permit shot and killed a man who was pummeling the stuffing out of a sheriff’s deputy in Estero, Florida, near Fort Myer: The Lee County Sheriff’s Office told local news media that the deputy who was involved, 12-year veteran Deputy First Class Dean Bardes, is expected…

Three
I’ve said for some time now that there have been two reasons I could get behind Trump; his SCOTUS picks, and his stance on healthcare. And now there’s a third: Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump — who said he has a concealed carry permit — called for the expansion of gun rights Friday, including making those permits…

Dear Democrats

Wou hou!) to: Condescend to the working class more Write more editorials sniffing down your nose about the “Best Interests” of “Flyover Land” Insult gun owners more! You can…

Safed
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: My Facebook page is full of complaints by Liberal friends. They’re hurting now because ignorant racist misogynist Trump voters rejected Hillary. They demand that Trump voters be respectful of their feelings. Don’t gloat over winning: reach out, be inclusive, help heal America. They’re unfriending family members who crow about…

Your Own Private Wilderness
Earlier, I noted that Donald Trump’s election is a result of liberal attitudes. Here, a liberal agrees. Language NSFW. By the way? Now that Republicans (not necessarily conservatives) are in power, it’d be good to make sure the good guys take this to heart.

The New Romans
Trump’s election has thrown a good chunk of the American left for an unexpected loop. Not least of the loopers is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), famous for “ELCA Hair” and unctuous, smug politics slathered on a fairly neutered reading of the Bible. And over at their “Engage” blog – the ELCA’s gun-grab…

Starting Off With A Bang
As the nation – or at least the nation’s chattering classes – continue to rend their garments over Democracy giving them the leader they deserved, and with about 66 days until Donald Trump takes office, let’s take a break from the Peltschmertz and start talking policy. Donald Trump proposed a healthcare plan. It’s on his…

That’s Right, Democrats…
…you lost because the Democrat Party wasn’t radical enough. This’ll fix it. Oh, yes it will. (Seriously – who else could make Deb Wasserman Schultz look like a moderate?)

Time To Ring In Some Changes
Back when conservative blogging was a large, signfiicant force in the 2004 elections, many of us pointed out consistently and clearly that the mainstream media’s consistent, overwhelming bias was going to render it irrelevant. It didn’t happen right away – although the 2007 recession gutted ad revenues, which certainly accelerated the process – but this past election…

Spoils
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: “Hello, Congressman Never-Trump? Yeah, hi, this is PRESIDENT Trump. What’s all that wailing in the background? Oh, you were just about to call to congratulate me? Yeah, that’s great. Listen, I’m gonna need some money to build the wall with Mexico. About those appropriations in your district . .…

It’s Been Almost Eight Years That I’ve Carried A NARN; At Home It’ll Almost Be Spring
Today, the Northern Alliance Radio Network – America’s first grass-roots talk radio show – is on the air! Today, on our final pre-election show: Bryan Strawser of the MN Gun Owners Caucus and the Minnesota Gun Owners PAC will be joining me to talk about the election results. I’ll be talking about election day, its aftermath, and the…

A Win And A Warning
Well, “Protect Minnesota” certainly seems happy – they broke out the “happy” stock photos yesterday! So Protect Minnesota is happy about something that happened in California? Why is that? Because they’ve got nothing to celebrate in Minnesota. Bupkes. Anti-gun Pro-criminal groups – “Protect” Minnesota and Moms Want Action, which are really nothing but puppets of Everytown, the group controlled and owned…

Liberal Logic
Near as I can figure, it’s: Step 1: Run around waving signs, chanting chants, burning things and looting things and attacking people and vandalizing dissenters’ property (actually property dissenters rent…): …and block highways. Step 2: Trump resigns. Dear protesters: please keep it up. The GOP will gain seats in the mid-terms.

The Eternal Genius Of Paul Krugman
Paul Krugman on election night: “The sky is falling and we’re all gonna die.” A day later: “It’s not and we’re not, and anyone who takes Paul Krugman seriously had better hope they have a fat government pension to rely on”. Paul Krugman; the most useful of idiots. Note: back during the Obama administration, when…

A Modest Proposal
I didn’t get to bed until 5AM yesterday morning. It wasn’t “excitement” so much as “restlessness”, to be honest. Watching liberal media, blogs and social media, you’d think the US just got conquered by Francisco Franco. It did not. Watching the mobs of pajama boys grrls that our “educational” establishment has spawned taking their sick days…

A Sigh Of Relief
The biggest relief of the Trump landslide? The SCOTUS. If Trump keeps his promise to draw from his list of Supreme Court nominees, this nation has at least a hope of having a backbone of relative sanity for the next generation. I’m relieved to see that that was the impetus for an awful lot of…

What A Difference Eight Years Makes
2008: Discussion of secession from the union (by Texas, were the sentiment is pretty strong) or from oppressive an alienating state governments (inland and northern California) are “treason” and a call for a return to slavery. 2016: Calls for secession are all the liberal rage. I say keep it up. You may never get seceded…

Kaeled
Last year, exactly one pundit predicted Donald Trump would be in the race as of Christmas, to say nothing of winning the primaries and (as he predicted in May) the election itself. It was Scott Adams, cartoonist behind Dilbert. That Scott Adams. Last year, when many observers were saying Trump was a stupid, under-informed clown, I…

The New Order
I’ll be the first to admit – I didn’t see last night coming. When I went on the air, I knew that Trump had to win North Carolina, Florida and Ohio to have a shot – even a long shot at the presidency. All three fell; North Carolina fairly quickly, Florida with a bit of suspense, and…

I, Jeremiah
Heh. On the one hand, 4-8 years of Clinton will do for women what 8 years of Obama did for race relations. On the other, we’ve got four more glorious years of non-stop blog and talk show fodder. UPDATE: Clearly, I wrote this on Sunday, expecting a Hillary win. I neglected to delete it. What…

Mayflower Stock
Hark. Is that the sound of packing tape and boxes being stacked? I tend to doubt it. I’ve been up front about my ambivalence about Donald Trump. I cordially disliked him back when most liberals were watching The Apprentice faithfully. But I do suppose legislation making “If [something I don’t want to happen happens] I’m…
