Hakeem Jeffries digs in on SNAP blame-game with 42 million Americans’ food benefits at risk [More]
Democrats are counting on them snapping.
They didn’t engineer getting 42 million Americans unable to feed themselves if they didn’t intend on weaponizing them. And they’re counting on some becoming martyrs for “just wanting to feed their families.”
Mayor Who Begged Sheinbaum for Help Fighting Cartels Assassinated at Day of the Dead Celebration [More]
What, he didn’t know?

Man who received clemency charged in downtown Omaha shooting [More]
Put back on the streets by the guy endorsed by all the major gun grab groups!
As long as we’re discussing feral geniuses, say “Hi” to Naqwan. He’s not new to being “overrepresented” by the system, either,

Two sheriffs and numerous officers were arrested and indicted for allegedly helping traffickers run drugs in the Mississippi Delta, as well as in Memphis and, in at least two instances, in Miami. [More]
“Fourteen current and former law-enforcement officers are among 20 defendants”…? So… just a few bad apples, right?

In keeping with the new state requirement that all would-be handgun buyers first acquire a purchase permit, the Delaware State Police have launched a portal for permit applications. Called the “Permit to Purchase Application Portal,” the webpage is used to gather personal information, including name, address, gender, date of birth, email, employment status (including employer info), and race and ethnicity information. [More]
And remember, “law-abiding” gun owners: Back the Blue!
When I think of portals, I don’t think of anything good coming out of the other side.

Mexican Senator: ‘Trump is Right, Mexico Ruled by Cartels’ [More]
And the ones not directly on the take are kept in check with the knowledge that anyone within their circle — at the highest levels — could be.
Understand that if the cartels objected to lawsuits against American gun manufacturers, they would make their expectations known loud and clear.

After Supreme Court Win, NRA Is Back Challenging ‘Qualified Immunity’ for Ex-NY Regulator [More]
The plaintiff, the NRA, claimed that defendant Maria Vullo, while serving as the superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Service (DFS), encouraged insurance companies to discontinue their relationship with the NRA in an effort to retaliate against and chill the NRA’s gun rights advocacy.
Holding her accountable for her sleazy, partisan abuse of power could be the greatest lesson she teaches Fordham students.
Whether Illinois’ flat ban on ordinary citizens carrying firearms on public transportation violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. [More]
That this is even in question shows how far the Republic has degraded from the clear intent understood by the founders as a condition for ratification.
That the big worry now is if SCOTUS will even hear it, and if so, how it will rule, tells us more.

Police are at the scene as two are arrested after multiple people have been stabbed on a train in Huntingdon. This is becoming a daily occurrence. [More]
And not a Cedric or Nigel in the lot, although saying that might be the ticket I need to get on OfCom’s list…

Airmen covered up details of fatal shooting after ‘joking’ with pistol [More]
Your ” focus is on ensuring that justice is served ,” Col. Holmes? And the liars haven’t even been drummed out, let alone dishonorably discharged?
Does SecDef Hegseth know about this?

A tyrant wearing black robes in Chicago has been spanked by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in a mandamus order that says to the Obama judge Judge Sarah Ellis in Chicago, you are not allowed to babysit and engage in supervision of the executive branch that violates the United States Constitution. Stand down. [Watch]
Saying “Stop it” is not the same as “spanking.” As every child raised properly knows, there need to be consequences for bad behaviors to discourage them from continuing. In this case, the judge was being an in-your-face apparatchik c_.
Wake me when corporal punishment for robed traitors is in common use. I’d settle for the textual, historical, and traditional practices of impeachment.

DDS sends “I tried 3D printing a gun: It’s not as easy as you think,” from 2023 (and FWIW written by someone who begins with a lament about “gun violence”), and Wikipedia entries for the Urutau 3D-printable semi-automatic bullpup pistol-caliber carbine, and my favorite just for its name, the FGC-9.
I don’t normally do hardware posts but this is, at its core, about freedom.
Harrison Ford says he doesn’t ‘know of a greater criminal in history’ than Trump [More]
In all of history, eh? So that must mean tyrants and war criminals. Someone that evil and genocidal certainly needs to be stopped by any desperate means necessary!
That oughtta inspire some low-hanging fruit fans!
I trust no one here is surprised by any of this.
9 people shot at Airbnb party in Bath Township… Several juveniles were shot at a Bath Township Airbnb party early Sunday. Police say it was a party promoted on social media. [More]
I guess the rules about guns at Airbnbs weren’t even a factor in anyone’s choices. And I don’t suppose it’s in the interests of the “real reporters” to show us the promotion piece that attracted such guests…
Ah, here we go!

So naturally, this moron is blaming guns and this moron is blaming Republicans.
Obama Calls Mamdani to Praise His Campaign and Offers to Be Sounding Board [More]
After all, he had his mentors.
And who thinks Ken Martin dares say anything different?
“Party’s ‘big tent’ approach,” indeed.
Several members of the media were on the call. It was to talk to the media. [More]
President Donald Trump is making a final multimillion-dollar investment in Tuesday’s statewide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, in an effort to turn out MAGA voters who tend to sit out off-year elections when Trump isn’t on the ballot… Republican operatives are tracking down low-propensity GOP voters, and then reaching out to those voters through phone-banking efforts, or through digital and social media targeting ads. [More]
They’re finally getting around to this exact plan? Isn’t asteroid deflection more effective when its farther away?
Especially when it’s a yuge asteroid…?
Let’s hope it’s not too little too late. I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Is There a Hidden Meaning in DOJ’s Position on Mag Bans? [Watch]
Let me get this straight: The “pro-gun” DOJ will defend magazines (because they believe bans are unconstitutional or because they think SCOTUS will rule against them?) but still demands license/registration requirements to carry and possess firearms and ammunition…?
If there’s a hidden meaning, they’re not hiding it very well. That seems kind of in-your-face…
And yeah, I’m vulnerable to being sucked in just like most gun owners.
“Full might” my… eye.
