Notes from the Resistance
Noting the legal environment the nominee is part of and stepping into, he’s as good as we’re going to get, but hardly measures up to the superlatives of being “truly pro-Second Amendment.” [More]
Some refuse to accept the parameters being defined for them, “don’t believe in the no-win scenario,” and don’t consider a writhing platter of gagh to be a gourmet meal.

Bring in ICE:
Why is it all the “commonsense gun safety law” organizations — every one of them — endorse politicians for illegals and against ICE? That is, if they’re sincere about their stated goal?

Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System as “prohibited persons” only because they need help from a fiduciary in managing their VA benefits… In addition to immediately stopping the reporting of VA Fiduciary Program participants to NICS, the department is working with the FBI to remove all past VA reporting from NICS, so no Veterans are unfairly deprived of their Second Amendment rights based solely on participation in VA’s Fiduciary Program… The Department of Justice supports this action.

I call ’em out when they do something wrong. It’s only fair to acknowledge when they get it right.
Set aside the time to watch the videos. Especially if you know a family trying to navigate its way through this. [More]

Still not answered: What did Shannon Watts know and when did she know it when she was Vice President of Corporate and Public Affairs Company for PR firm Fleishman-Hillard from 1998 to 2001, claiming she “Directed [a] seven-member team that identified and managed issues and crises for clients, including Monsanto Company [and] Bayer Corporation”? From 2001 to 2004 she assumed the position of Director, Global Public and Corporate Affairs Company for Monsanto, where Watts says she “Provided corporate communications strategy and support for Fortune 500 life sciences and agricultural company.”?
And why did she modify her LinkedIn profile?
Or are we to believe the Global Public and Corporate Affairs Director, whose media expertise would be needed to defend the company’s image, was intentionally kept in the dark by her corporate masters at the very time they needed her to flack for them?
When I asked, all it got me was this:
And before anybody gets upset with me for buying into leftist environmentalism, read the qualifiers I’ve put into my articles. I’m simply holding her to the “standards” collectivists demand from any target they think they can extort.
As I wrote here:
Note an important caveat on my part: Not having heard, the evidence, or even presuming to be able to understand the science, and being aware of how leftist environmental hysteria, media manipulation, clueless jurors and slick-talking deep-pockets lawyers can fall together to make mundane things like the truth seem secondary, I’m prepared to give credence to Bayer’s arrangement “to return the conversation about the safety and utility of glyphosate-based herbicides to the scientific and regulatory arena and to the full body of science.”
It doesn’t matter if you or I question the charges. That’s not the point.
The point is were Shannon Watts a prominent advocate for “conservative” causes, you’d best believe the media would be all over her about this, trying to ferret out what she knew and when she knew it, and filling in the gaps with innuendo and outright fabrication if that’s what it took to turn the public against her. But because she’s who she is, and because they share common goals, all you hear are crickets.

Additionally, when they’re clearly incapable of running down and/or overpowering, they’re really left with no choice but to open fire. Noting the suspects she’s liable to be confronted with, how will that not result in racially “disproportionate” uses of lethal force?

“Why is the NZ Army training to destroy Christians with traditional values?” [More]
Same reason they’re disarming their heritage population.
Because the government has been taken over by evil communists.

Newsom Opposes Voter ID Laws, but Ignores Far Worse Abuses in California for CCW Permits [More]
I’ve been pointing out that disconnect for some time:
If photo IDs disenfranchise minority voters as “progressives” claim, why doesn’t the same requirement disenfranchise them from their right to keep and bear arms?
The answer, of course, is that it does, and that Democrats are racist hypocrites and liars.

They admit they have “approximately 108 documents” responsive to the request, but won’t share them unless the requesters pony up $135 — to start, with no guarantee on how the fees will grow, or how redacted they’ll be.
My recommendation would be they should resubmit, and instead of saying it’s “a personal request and not for commercial purposes,” say it’s “in the public interest.”
Here are some guidelines, yes, AI-generated, but citing government sources.
