Shot in the Dark

Speaking Of Shots In The Dark: Welcome To the New Design!

  • Victims

    This is the Associated Press, over the weekend: In a sense, they have a point: I’ve been gleefully urging Democrats to push impeachment without rest almost since Trump was elected, seeing it as at best a goldmine for Trump, and at worst a gateway to a candidate I’d have actually supported on my own in…

  • Men In England Now A-Bed…

    The tale of the Brits who, despite their government’s best efforts to neuter them, dealt with the terrorist attack in London over the weekend: Of course, the Brits are lucky it’s a story that’s gone ’round the world; if it were regular street crime, they’d be prosecuted more seriously than the thug. It’s something to…

  • End Traffic Violence!

    Nobody needs more than one car. Nobody needs to drive a car more than once a month. There should be psychological profiles and strict background checks for all vehicle transfers, including loans to friends and rent a cars. A 6 gallon gas tank limit is plenty. No wonder the Democrats and media are pushing the…

  • Poison, Picked

    Who am I talking about? A group with a political point of view gains control of the means not only of disseminating the nation’s history – its very story. The official story is made to comport with that dominant group’s narrative – in schools, journalism, academia, even museums. They even bring the apparatus of the…

  • Review

    The Supreme Court, for the first time in nearly a decade, is hearing a significant Second Amendment case: Faced with a defunct ban on transporting guns outside city limits, the increasingly conservative court majority could render a decision making clear what some justices believe: that the Second Amendment extends beyond the home, and that lower courts should…

  • And To Think Conservatives Believe Big Media Writes Stories About Conservative / Republican People And Events Long Beforehand, Because They’re All Writing To A Narrative

    Jessica Kwong, progressive stenographer at former magazine “Newsweek”, on Donald Trump’s thanksgiving: “it was written before knowing about the president’s surprise visit to Afghanistan-an honest mistake” In other words, pre-written. The Big Media aren’t “the enemy of the people”. They’re worse; after assuming the mantle of “guardian of democracy” (which, we are told, without their…

  • Just In Time For Holiday Family Gatherings That Include “Woke” Relatives

    If gender is just a construct… …then “mens’” opinions about abortion are of absolutely equal weight with “womens’”. You’re welcome.

  • Calling BS On BS

    A friend of the blog emails: Here we continue the liberal saga perpetuated by white men that women and people of color do not have any power. I haven’t looked back far enough in history to see if Andy Richter was happy that Clarence Thomas was appointed and sharing power with white Supreme Court justices. …

  • It Could Happen Is Happening Here

    Tyrants, like abusive spouses and sociopathic gaslighters of all kinds, are fond of making their victims believe that their travails are their fault. Westerners – those who still bother to criticize Red China, anyway – learn with some muted horror that when the Chinese government executes a convict via their preferred method, a bullet to…

  • Tear Down This Wall

    This week is one of those time when one hopes that the people of Hong Kong know what Lech Wałęsa knew, and our “elites”, then as now, didn’t: he Hong Kong pro-democracy movement achieved a stunning victory in Sunday’s district-council elections. With turnout exceeding 70 percent, close to 90 percent of the seats went to…

  • Premonition

    Oh, so NOW they’re starting to talk about it?  I’ve been pointing out this looming problem for years.Look, people can afford about $1,500 per month for housing.  If interest rates are 7%, then most of the payment goes to interest so principal must be lower – home prices fall. But if home prices fall, Baby Boomer…

  • Addicted To Envy

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Elizabeth Warren is tired of freeloading billionaires.  They should pay their fair share.She’s got a point.  Nobody needs a billion dollars.  At some point, you’ve got enough money, right? But what is that point?  A billion?  A million?  A hundred thousand?  The underlying motivation is not economics but envy, which judges…

  • Exercise In Logic

    If, as the ACLU says…: …then I guess men’s opinions about abortion really do matter, then.

  • Kamala Harris: Going For The Banana Republican Nomination

    Alleged presidential candidate Kamala Harris on how she’ll solve the “crisis” in pharmaceutical prices: Wait. Wasn’t Trump supposed to be the wannabe dictator?

  • Some Pathological Liars Are More Equal Than Others

    Famous not-actual-Native American Elizabeth Warren, who was not fired from a job for being pregnant, didn’t actually send her kid to public school. But it took other people, in every case, to make that info public. The school thing? Oh, yeah: Sarah Carpenter, a pro-school choice activist who organized a protest of Warren’s Thursday speech in…

  • Opening Shots

    The newly Democrat-clogged Virginia Assembly is hearing a number of California-style gun grab bills in coming weeks. In response, a number of Virginia counties are declaring themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries: So far we have at least 7 brand new Sanctuary Counties in Virginia that we are aware of: Charlotte County, Campbell County, Carroll County, Appomattox…

  • More Of This Now

    A Michigan bill would put liability for mass shootings in “gun free zones” on those posting the zone: State Rep. Gary Eisen, R-St. Clair Township, introduced House Bill 4975, which would revoke governmental immunity from lawsuits arising from injuries sustained on government property where guns are banned. Eisen is also the sponsor of House Bill 4976, which…

  • The Minnesota Medical Association Jumps The…

    …I was going to say “shark”, but it’s really just a 50-something ninny with ELCA Hair and a shark fin taped to their collar who identifies as a shark. Minnesotans’ main concerns about healthcare – about which the MMA is putatively supposed to be concerned, itself – are affordability and access. Naturally, they’ve made gun…

  • I Heard It On The NARN

    Here’s Lacy Johnson’s website. He’s looking for the GOP nomination to run against Ilhan Omar. Help him.

  • Ilhan Omar: Back To The Sixties

    Back in the sixties, when “affordable housing”  – i.e. having places more or less fit for human habitation to put the poor in – became a thing, America (like the UK) went on a binge of building it.  It was awful – Soviet-style high-rises, or endless blocks of cheap townhouses and low-rise buildings, with brutalist…

  • They’ve Got Questions. I’ve Got Answers.

    “Hey, Mitch – why does anyone need a magazine with more than six or seven shots? Future president Joe Biden assures us two is all you need!” I’m going to answer you with a question. Several, actually. First: are you ever going to be attacked by someone who wants to kill you, then and there?…

  • Forget the Ukraine, how did President Trump manage to rig a DNA test, to make Hunter Biden look like heel, to make his father, Joe Biden, lose the Democrat nomination?  The guy’s amazing.  Is there anything he can’t do? Joe Doakes Conceal his mental decline forever? 

  • Minneapolis: Let’s Get Scientific!

    The City of Minneapolis is likely going to vote to bar “conversion therapy” for people under 18. I’m going to add a bit of emphasis: The controversial practice aims to change a person’s sexual orientation from gay to straight. It has drawn the ire of many in the LGBT community and others, who say it doesn’t work, has…

  • A Nation Of Coulters

    Business opportunity: training young Republicans/conservatives how to respond to hate crimes and bullying like this: Not saying Big Left is trying to start a hot civil war. But if they were, I’m not sure what they’d be doing differently.

  • The Leading Causes Of Death In Minnesota

    #3) Cancer #2) Heart disease and its complications #1) People dying while holding their breath waiting for the Star/Tribune, MPR News, and the Big Four TV stations to cover Ilhan Omar’s successive bits of corruption. Fortunately, we’ve got that conservative-biased New York media to do it for them. Rep. Ilhan Omar paid another $150,000 to…
