The Brady Campaign has teamed up with the Ad Council to launch a new ad campaign, End Family Fire, “with a mission to promote responsible gun ownership in the home.” Their first ad, released today, is comprised of two versions – a two-minute one, and a 30-second ad spot....
On Friday I wrote about Facebook blocking people and groups from sharing the URL codeisfreespeech.com, a site sponsored by four California-based Second Amendment advocacy groups. I promised to update the story if I heard back from Facebook, but as of close of business Tuesday I haven’t heard anything from [email protected],...
As we reported late Tuesday, after Defense Distributed took 3D printer gun plans off of their website pursuant to a preliminary injunction, another site, www.codeisfreespeech.com, popped up, containing all of the files that had been on Defense Distributed’s site. Behind the site are four California-based Second Amendment advocacy groups and...
During today’s White House briefing, five senior administration officials joined Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to address the administration’s efforts to prevent Russian interference in the 2018 elections. The press corps heard from FBI Director Christopher Wray, Director of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, National Security...
As we reported early Wednesday, after a US District Court Judge issued a preliminary injunction in the Defense Distributed 3D gun plan case, a consortium of gun rights groups based in California launched a new site, www.codeisfreespeech.com, to host the CAD files containing plans for 3D printed guns.
Wednesday...
After a federal judge in Washington State granted an injunction temporarily halting a Settlement Agreement between Defense Distributed and the United States Department of State from going into effect, Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed, announced that his site has “gone dark.”
By order of a federal judge in the...
In a case of extreme delayed reaction, eight states filed suit against the Trump administration Monday, July 30, to block a civil lawsuit settlement that was announced on July 10 from going into effect on August 1. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, a leading gun control advocate and pawn...
Sometimes I wish we could go back to 2015 or 2016, when Shannon Watts was the dumbest gun-grabbing woman out there. Alyssa Milano has overtaken Watts, and CNN is giving her a platform to publish one of the most #FakeNews opinion pieces (masquerading as news, of course) I’ve seen....
As a conservative in California, sometimes I feel I’m fighting my own party before I can fight the rabid socialist progressives who are so prevalent here. For example, last year a group of seven (why is it always a gang of seven?) GOP Assembly members joined forces with Democrats to...
No one will have to wonder what happened in this White House telephone call.
President Trump announced a new trade deal with Mexico Monday morning from the Oval Office, with Mexican President Enrique Peña-Nieto appearing via speakerphone (eventually).
WATCH: Trump tries to conference in Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto...
To listen to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT-BeenThereTooDamnLong), you’d think the Senate Judiciary Committee has always behaved in a gentlemanly, deliberate fashion, and these bitter partisans led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) are making a mockery of the institution by “rushing” the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
.@SenatorLeahy:...
As they say, “know your audience.” On Thursday “Harry” attempted to troll @SuperAndrea using his superior social justice skills, but he didn’t understand his audience. At all.
Chilling on the #BoycottInNOut hashtag to laugh at all the morons who don’t know how to live life without politicizing every.single.thing.

On Thursday, California Democratic Party chair Eric Bauman made the stupid play (as Kira wrote about here) of calling for a boycott of In-N-Out Burger, the iconic, wildly-popular, native Californian burger chain, because of a $25,000 donation to the California Republican Party.
As a Californian whose first stop was...
When we think of Neil Armstrong landing on the moon, I’d guess almost every one of us pictures him and Buzz Aldrin planting the United States flag on the lunar surface. In a new movie, First Man, which was shown at the Venice Film Festival Thursday, the scene was conspicuously...
In the fall of 2017, Greggory Casillas had just graduated from the Police Academy and was doing his field training with the Pomona (CA) Police Department, achieving a goal he’d set when he was in elementary school. He told one of his friends that, having married the “girl of his...
After Mitt Romney’s 47% comment, politicians should understand that even if you’re among “friendlies,” your comments are never off the record. When you’re a Republican candidate talking about knowingly hiring illegal aliens – and paying them more – you’d be a fool to think it won’t get out.

I really don’t like thinking that I’m taking life lessons from Kanye West – or that any of us should. His tweets over the last week about Trump and freedom of thought and loving people aren’t any more wild than anything he’s tweeted or said in interviews over the course...
Kanye West is no stranger to controversy; in fact, he generally causes it and harnesses the reaction for his benefit. Who can forget, “Imma let you finish…”
He turned the Taylor Swift backlash around, working the event into lyrics on a 2016 album that wasn’t even finished...
We know that Facebook has been censoring conservative viewpoints and pro-Second Amendment voices and posts for quite some time, and now (Facebook-owned) Instagram is getting in on the action.
Firearms Policy Coalition, a Second Amendment advocacy non-profit, sells t-shirts promoting the Second Amendment through their FPCGear.com website. On Tuesday,...
This is an update in the #DavidBTransplant series, detailing David Brayton’s multi-year fight for approval to receive a lung transplant through the VA and UCLA. Other installments can be found here and here.
In the last #DavidBTransplant update (January 2018), we reported on the questionable denial letter sent by...
In columns over the years, and on countless media appearances in which I’m asked for my opinion about various California Democrats seeking higher office, I’ve consistently made the observation that California Democrats have a very tough time getting traction outside of the state because they’ve never been challenged on their...
