Disparaging Armed Citizens Undermines Trump Administration’s Credibility

Maybe it’s time to stop dousing the fire in gun owner bellies, especially with top administration officials making inane comments that spit in the faces of Second Amendment activists — the very people Republicans need to win. [More]

In what reality is making core constituents feel like they’re being used smart politics?

Garbage Out

Hughes struck that entire response, noting that Solis had admitted he failed to disclose his use of AI in the filing. Hughes also blasted Solis for using “hallucinated and false citations,” online court records show. [More]

Who ever heard of such a thing?

Y’know, you do that in writing and academia, and it’s considered plagiarism. Any bar complaints filed?

L-a-a-ambert!

This guy got arrested at a Christmas parade in Florida for wearing a body armor vest concealed under his shirt. The problem is, that wasn’t illegal. I saw this in the news, with cops taking a victory lap and Karens rejoicing about it, so I put in a request for the footage, and just got it. And it’s worse than I even thought it would be. Lawful conduct does not become illegal just because police officers – or Karens – are afraid of something. My rights don’t end where your fear of some perfectly legal object begins. [Watch]

Those “citizens” grateful to the “Only Ones” remind me of nothing so much as the sheep bleating for Lambert to save her.

Why would communists be afraid of them?

Terms of Surrender

Under the settlement, the company must cease all sales of the MA Lock in New York, “remove any statements that claim the MA Lock is legal in New York, state on all packaging that the MA Lock cannot be sold or resold in New York, and notify all businesses currently selling the MA Lock that the product is not to be sold or resold to individuals and/or businesses in New York.” [More]

Did they also give up their customers?

Asking for a friend.

Grok This

The Tumbler Ridge school shooting is confirmed, with reports of 9-10 deaths and 25+ injuries. Some media outlets name 17-18-year-old transgender Jesse Strang as the shooter, citing family sources, with claims of starting transition at 15 and being on SSRIs. However, official police statements have not yet confirmed the identity or these specifics. [More]

Why not?

See, this is why I didn’t post speculation as fact yesterday. Fox News ID’s him as Jesse Van Rootselaar.

Oh, this is why:

Mother killed by transgender Canadian school shooter son had called out trans hate…Jennifer Strang, mom of 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar…

That’s what happens when useful idiots outlast their usefulness. And it looks like she sacrificed her other kid on that altar.

Is that the rifle? If so, will it be open season on Fudds?

Fair Share?

NSSF Touts Bill Banning Unfair Gun Taxes [More]

Anyone care to name a fair one?

NSSF: Isn’t that the group that “celebrates firearm and ammunition manufacturers topping $17 billion in excise tax contributions to the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund since its inception in 1937″?

I’m not a hunter. If I ever decide to, I’ll pay my way. Until then, why should I indirectly fund a socialist Fudd tax on the price of guns and ammo, especially when so many of them are out there undermining my right to keep and bear arms?

Liar’s Remorse

Democrats are backtracking on their own demand that ICE agents wear body cameras. They’re suddenly concerned that those cameras will be used to track and surveil anti-ICE protesters, which seems like an admission that they know those people are their base voters. [More]

ICE ought to share the “best of” on YouTube.

Silent Running

South Dakota Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden signed a bill Tuesday that deregulates gun silencers by removing them from the state’s definition of a controlled weapon. [More]

And significantly:

The bill passed through both chambers of the Legislature without any “no” votes.

A spokesperson for Everytown shared the group’s reaction.

New York’s bill proposes requiring all 3D printers sold in the state to include “blocking technology” software that scans every design file for firearm blueprints and prevents printing of flagged gun parts. [More]

Just Like the Founders Intended

For the first time in California history, this proposal would require mandatory state-approved training, including live-fire shooting and at least eight hours of instruction, just to BUY a firearm — not carry it, not use it, but to own it. [Watch]

And challenges by gun owners who must scrape together legal costs will go on for years and years and years, which is part of the plan.

I have pretty much the same concerns expressed here.

Don’t make excuses for, and go after the bad.

By the same token, motives matter, especially where “The newsraper of record” is involved. It’s not ad hominem, it’s experience.

What the DSM fails to understand is that past and current biased actions undermine good works they may do.

Aesop told a story about that once.

We’re the Only Ones Criminal Enough?

At least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020, and their documented wrongdoing includes patterns of physical and sexual abuse, corruption and other abuses of authority, a review by The Associated Press found. [More]

By all means, expose and pursue criminality and corruption everywhere it is found, and punish the guilty as harshly as they deserve.

That said, how many sworn agents, how many convictions, and how does it compare in numbers and rates with, say, “blue” city and state LE’s — not to excuse anything, but to keep things in perspective?

Sorry, but force of habit makes me wonder about a clumsily-masked agenda every time I see the Associated Press is pushing a narrative, in this case, wanting to aid and abet illegals remaining in this country to give Democrats political dominance.

Looking at “reporter” Ryan J. Foley’s X feed, his sympathies are hardly kept close to the vest.
