Notes from the Resistance
Illinois city hands out $25K cash payments to 44 Black residents through reparations program [More]
Don’t worry. The cucks are fine with it.
This is what commu… uh… Democrats have in mind for the rest of the country whenever they feel they have the votes to get away with it.
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?

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.

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.

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.

When Trump Officials’ Claims About Shootings Unravel in Court [More]
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.

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.

So, when’s Trump going to savage her with the same sorehead viciousness he goes after Thomas Massie with?

UPDATE
Really? All this brouhaha over a party balloon?
Pretty good summation.
I could offer some “Yeah, buts…” to some of the “pro-gun” points, but overall fall back on two contentions I constantly make:
The administration, left on its own, is bipolar, and the Task Force and gun voters would benefit greatly from independent subject matter expert advisors.
Three contentions, actually: Those of us pointing out the disconnects are motivated by not wanting to see Trump blow it, which will allow the communi… Democrats to take over, and anyone calling for our heads for that is wearing their red MAGA cap too tight.
Begin at the 4 minute mark. [Watch]
Or just watch the whole thing– it’s addictive and a sobering reminder of how we take our lives in our hands every time we get behind the wheel, and how, if you’re armed, you really need to resist road rage urges, even, especially, when they’re justified.

ATF Reverses Course After Denying NFA Applications for Wanting to “Exercise God-Given Rights” [More]
I’ll just leave that there for people to think about.
After McFadden answered, “Mecklenburg County” again, Chesser remarked, “This is not where I was anticipating getting stuck. Um, are you aware of how many branches of government there are?” The sheriff quickly shot back, “No.” [More]
Well, isn’t that “speacial.”
How can you swear an oath to support something you’re oblivious to?
You can’t.

At least 10 dead, including suspect, in connection with shooting at British Columbia high school [More]

Mass shooter ‘in a dress’… [More]
Presumed “female”…?

There’s transgender speculation in comments. The latest word I’ve seen says:
That alert described a “female in a dress with brown hair” – but the person’s name or gender are yet to be publicly released.
I see stuff like this, and to me, that looks like two different people.
The one critical piece of information I’m not seeing is what type of gun was used, and if it’s affected by the confiscation scheme or if Fudds are going to be dragged into the mix.

As long as we’re getting in trouble for publishing “How To’s”:
I, of course, did not watch Super Bowl LX, and in keeping with tradition didn’t even know who was playing until I accidentally ran across a headline the day before the game.
For all the complaints about Bad Bunny, someone else I’ve remained mercifully unaware of, and lyrics it turns out he omitted from nonetheless vulgar songs to the grinding of dancers who look nothing like the America that’s given them opportunities they could have never exploited anywhere else, and for the unAmerican antics of an Opposite Day “progressive” Patriot getting away with his subversion while wearing a team uniform and suffering no repercussions, just keep things in perspective:
The audience is mostly male, mostly white, and mostly prosperous.
In other words, the ones funding their would-be destroyers are the bourgeoisie.
