IT’S TIME to raise the voting age back to 21. The only exception I would make would be for those who are active duty military. If they're willing to serve, it's a good bet they're responsible enough to vote.

PROGRESSIVES MUST STOP USING TERROR to try and intimidate conservatives.

When you normalize hate, you end up with hate being normalized for everyone. You do not want that. You really don’t.

As Kurt Schlichter has repeatedly pointed out, it's the conservatives who have the weapons - and know how to use them.

MASS SHOOTINGS: What changed? I'm a bit older than Mr. Lehman, since I graduated high school in the early 60's, and short a few minor details, he's right on both history and culture.

The take-away, for me at least, is that the current gun control contremps isn't about guns; it's about the collision of two cultures. One is a victim-oriented culture of no personal responsibility where fault is replaced by circumstance, consequence shifted to society, and reparations required for any loss, perceived or real. The other is a responsibility-oriented culture where actions have consequences, consequences are personal, and 'reparations' are for damaged goods, not damaged feelings,

The former pushes gun control; the latter, gun responsibility.

CNN ANALYST: Women carrying guns is not practical.

Read the comments. My favorite: "If this guy carries it's not up his butt. His head would get in the way."

QUIZ: Can you identify all these historical objects? I missed 3 out of 100.

THE POLITICS OF [GUN CONTROL] OUTRAGE: "I simply can’t listen to pinheads railing on removing freedoms so they can feel safe. If I can feel safe, in spite of these events, so can they."

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Not a single CNN show is in the Top 20 for cable news.

Fifteen of the top 20 are on Fox; five, on (gasp!) MSNBC.

Heh.

NOT MSM NEWSWORTHY: Demonized AR-15 used to stop brutal attack.

IF WE'RE GOING TO BAN THINGS, let's ban the right things.

THE ATLANTIC on gun control:

Progressive policy prescriptions, like assault-weapons bans and bans on large-capacity magazines, are opposed because they’re perceived to have exactly the wrong effect. They’ll present only the most minor of hurdles for the lawless, while the law-abiding experience the law’s full effect. It’s a form of collective punishment for the innocent, a mere annoyance—at best—for the lawless.

It's not just gun control; the progressive prescription for any perceived ill is to punish the innocent to protect the guilty from the consequences of their actions.

Read it all.

TEEN ANTI-GUN ACTIVIST claims he won’t return to school without gun control.

The thing is, it’s no skin off anyone else’s nose if he doesn’t go back to school. He could drop out for all we care. Or he can get homeschooled. Frankly, no one outside of his family is really concerned about whether or not Hogg ever goes back to school. No one at all.

But we should care - a little. These days you can hardly make it as a Starbucks barista without an elite university liberal arts degree....

AN EXCELLENT IDEA: So now the White House wants to privatize the International Space Station.

Despite Time Magazine and Jazz Shaw's misgivings, it is an excellent idea. For proof, I suggest that Mr. Shaw look at that smart phone in his hand or the navigation system embedded in his car's dashboard. Both are chock full of technology that was developed on the military's dime. Suppose none of that technology had been privatized.

Space-X has already proved that spent rocket boosters can be landed and reused; and launch costs have dropped dramatically since Space-X has entered the marketplace.

Bigelow Aerospace has as a goal the development and use of expandable space habitat. Can space colonization, space commerce and exploration be far behind?

Finally, NASA is the U.S.'s premier aerospace research and development organization. It is long past time to return it to its original - and proper - role: R&D.

Yes, it's time to privatize.

NYC POLICE COMMISSIONER says it would be “insanity” for the feds to force one state to recognize another’s lax gun laws. What this morally superior pinhed of a law enforcement officer has failed to recognize is that those of us who have gone to the trouble to acquire concealed carry permits (from whatever state) have typically thought long and hard about the responsibility that choice entails.

As a favorite fictional character of mine once said of such bumptiousness, "Son, suppose you tend to your knitting and I tend to mine."

[Note: the quote is from Heinlein's Double Star , p. 91. Those who are interested in the libertarian view of personal responsibility should read more of Heinlein's writing.]

POOR GUY. He thought he taught in America.

NO, IT WASN'T THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION; it was the National Missile Association.

TRIGGER WARNING: Men are on average taller than women.

I'd be all in favor of global warming if it would cause these snowflakes to melt away....

A NOTE TO THE 'EXPERTS': Obama is not a top-10 President. I don't know where Jimmy Carter is on the ranking list, but to my mind he certainly has improved his status since Barack Obama joined the list.

RANDOM OBSERVATION: On one of the network news shows the other night, it was suggested that there may be as many as 20 Democrat candidates for the 2020 Presidential election. Chief among them (pun intended) were these two Native Americans:

       Fauxcahontas (Elizabeth Warren)                       Raging Bull (Cory Booker)

YES, let's ban child killers.

MATH IS NO LONGER A 'SAFE SPACE': student faces expulsion after saying a math symbol looks like a gun. Square roots are hard, but I didn't know they were killers.

Read the comments ... and never go to math class without your multiplication vest.
