I HAD A DREAM: Obama’s ‘Dreamer’ Fairy Tale Just Just Got Torched.
WHAT I REALLY WANT IS A MINIGUN FOR THE HOOD OF MY CAR, BUT I SUPPOSE THIS WOULD DO: Is it Time to Consider Drones as Must-Have Personal Defense Gear? “Firearms are going to be part of the civilian defense starter kit for decades to come. But drones are starting to feel like a missing layer of that starter kit. Think of it as having your own personal team of first responders.”

Rusty [Harris, editor of the 30,000 circulation Oceanside Blade-Citizen in San Diego County in the early 1990s] patiently explained that we’d already given this quite a bit of thought, and we stood by our position.
Then things turned ugly. It would be unfortunate, the SPLC rep told Rusty, if the SPLC had to add a newspaper of all things to their hate watch list! That they would name our editorial board members as well, let the world know that we supported hate!
Rusty had grown up with severe deafness as a child (and later came out as gay) in Kansas in the 1950s and ’60s, and he was not a man to be bullied. Nor did I ever see him intimidated.
He paused for half a minute or so, then quietly told the SPLC rep, “Well, why don’t you do that, then? That should be quite interesting.”
We never heard from them again, and so far as I know, neither Rusty nor I was added to the hate watch list.
But it sure left a sour taste in my mouth.
Read the whole thing.
(Via Jim Treacher, who writes, “And that was in the early ‘90s. So they’ve been doing this stuff for a long time. They amassed all that money and all that power, and they used it to threaten their political opponents. They might have even committed bank fraud to do it. Allegedly.)

THE CASE FOR Hunting Turkey With a Rifle.
SMART: US Army seeks ‘last mile’ robot for medevac and resupply.
For resupply, the UGV should be able to haul enough cargo to sustain a dismounted rifle platoon and a company headquarters.
“It should be able to transport various classes of supply and operate autonomously across diverse terrains and environments, maintaining reliable communications with supported units,” the Army said.
The UGV should also be easily reconfigured for evacuating casualties. It must be able to transport at least two casualties from the point of injury to a designated collection point — without further harming the wounded, the notice states.
The notice didn’t specify the size nor capacity of the vehicle. However, the Army does want a robot that can function autonomously.
“Last mile” is probably just a convenient phrase, but judging by Russia and Ukraine’s existing capabilities, the Army might want to plan for the last ten miles, at least.

GOOD LORD: Leftists Excited to Begin Cannibalizing the Elderly. “Socialist-communists are always on the lookout for ways to play the many against the few so they can pillage the minority, enriching themselves while throwing crumbs to their useful-idiot foot soldiers. And right now, they are taking aim at senior citizens who saved their pennies so they might enjoy their retirements.”
Anyone resisting this theft will be smeared as greedy.
ABANDONING THE CAUSE INSTEAD WAS NEVER CONSIDERED:

OLD AND BUSTED: Steal This Book. (And more recently, the NPR-approved In Defense of Looting.)
The New Hotness? Thieves destroy nearly 75 Detroit fire hydrants to steal metal parts, putting lives at risk.
Thieves have destroyed nearly 75 fire hydrants on the west side of Detroit in the last 48 hours, stealing parts and putting lives at risk.
Crews with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department are racing to repair the broken hydrants along Southfield Road and across the west side after thieves tore through dozens in about two days.
“We think the number is about 75 so far,” DWSD Deputy Director Sam Smalley said.
The thieves are targeting metal nozzles and stems on top of the hydrants, which are worth about $600.
Executive Fire Commissioner Chuck Simms said the vandalism is a serious and unacceptable situation that puts lives at risk.
“No matter how fast we get to a fire, if we don’t have an operable fire hydrant, it takes seconds, sometimes even minutes away from maybe us saving lives,” Simms said.
In 1967, the New York Review of Books published on its cover the instructions for making a Molotov Cocktail. Meanwhile, the theft of fire hydrants in 2026 Detroit sounds like it would be New York Times approved. Good luck putting that Molotov Cocktail out.

Was wondering what was going to replace trans as the latest cool thing among elites. Turns out it's petty theft. I did not see that coming, as prevalent as it is in other demographics.

Tweet concludes, “Like they say about trans, petty theft has always been with us. OK, now go do it in a jurisdiction where they prosecute shoplifting, instead of one where they celebrate it. I mean, if you really want to be cool.”
THAT WOULD BE LOVELY: Can we celebrate America?
History Rocks! calls for Americans to “focus on celebrating all that is good about their country — a contrast to critics who say the study of U.S. history should center discussion of atrocities such as the nearly 250 years of enslaving Black people, and brutality and violence against Native Americans, writes Meckler.
I started school in the McCarthy Era: To the extent we learned history at all, it was the rah-rah America version the video extols. We learned the pledge in first grade. I remember the teacher explaining “allegiance” and “indivisible” to us. We came down hard on “liberty and justice for all.”
But the pendulum has swung toward America-the-horrible. Students who know very little history are eager to condemn their country. The less they know, the more confident their opinions.
None of that is by accident.

CHANGE? Paxton Up 8 Over Cornyn In Texas Senate Runoff. “Don’t believe the ‘nonpartisan’ tag. TPOR is run by Luke Warford (indeed, his is the only profile under ‘Our Team’ on their website), the losing Democratic Railroad Commission candidate in 2022. That said, looking at the crosstabs, it looks like an actual Republican sample for a Republican runoff.”
