Amazon Brings Back Controversial Anti-Theft Metal Detector Screenings for Employees: ‘Make Our Facilities More Safe and Secure’ [More]

Because nothing improves employee morale like saying “We don’t trust you.”

Of course, that starts before Day One, when companies require you to submit a urine sample, and Americans have just gone along with it.

Very few can imagine jobs without submitting to such an insulting invasion of privacy and an assumption that having to prove innocence is the American way. And fewer of us remember.

The Reputation They’ve Earned

Another Fed Op? Former CIA Officer Says Ryan Routh Was Almost Certainly Speaking with FBI Agent Before Attempted Trump Assassination — There is NO WAY to Justify Him Getting on Golf Course with Rifle [More]

The pity of stories like this is thinking people can’t automatically dismiss them, and our receptiveness to entertaining the worst is on the FBI.

I Got Them Stupid Party Blues

In a bold but ultimately unsuccessful effort, State Rep. Brian Harrison (R–Midlothian) forced a vote Wednesday on a resolution to remove Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows, accusing him of betraying Republican voters and handing power to Democrats… The final vote was 141-2, with five members present but not voting, and two absent.

Republicans, they thirst for death.

Could’a Been Full Contenders

The concept emerged for Mr. Roscher, 35, as he watched Russia invade Ukraine in 2022. Ukrainian civilians were flooding the streets with little ability to defend themselves. [More]

Which provided the biggest case for the Second Amendment until the government had second thoughts.

As much as these folks try to put distance between themselves and the Militia, what they’re doing is close except for our government abdicating its duty to officially organize, arm, and discipline, and in many cases outlawing private training.

The one thing I see missing from this writeup on the “prepared citizen movement” is political education and advocacy to forestall a lot of what they’re training for from growing into threats there is no other way of stopping. They’re not doing themselves or the rest of the Republic any favors if they’re training members who then turn around and vote for gun-grabbing Democrats.

Cooking the Books

The Colorado state government is playing a dangerous game with your Second Amendment rights—and they’re hoping you won’t notice. Thanks to our recent Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) request, we’ve uncovered troubling evidence about how they pushed Senate Bill 3 (the Semi-Auto Gun Ban/Buy Back Your Rights bill) through the legislature. What we found should alarm every responsible gun owner in this state. [More]

But such sneaky dishonesty delights those who want their guns.

Think about that.

UPDATE

And as we’ve come to expect, the ones targeted consistently and overwhelmingly vote for their oppressors.

Divide and Conquer

New York proposal would ban police from making traffic stops for minor violations to pursue ‘racial equity’ [More]

Proposed by racist Democrats who hate America, but ultimately, it’s fine by me. I never wanted to have to put tags on my car anyway, and anything that will lessen the chances of me being forced to stop and subject to search is a plus in my book.

Just don’t sue me if I rear-end someone who didn’t have brake lights.

It’s the Guns?

And how did he get them…?

Tell me with a straight face this doesn’t prove we need more gun laws!
