Friendly Fire

Portland Antifa ‘mistakenly’ attack pro-abortion pregnancy center during night of rage – Rioters smashed the clinic’s windows and spray-painted slogans on the property, costing the nonprofit at least $10,000 in damage. [More]

Great intel capability, morons. Shock and awe, dirtbags, shock and awe.

What I want to know is how does an “idea” attack anything?

Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying What, Exactly?

The account was particularly powerful because of her proximity to power, with Hutchinson describing what she witnessed first-hand and was told by others in the White House. [More]

“And was told by others”? So all these headlines painting Donald Trump as a delusional, vengeful, and violent lunatic are over inadmissible hearsay?

So headlines that would be just as valid as the above would accuse the Democrats (and Swamp Republicans) and their media megaphones of upcoming election interference by poisoning public sentiment against not just him in 2024, but since he’s an avatar, against people who support the policies he campaigned on, and especially on candidates that he has endorsed who are running in November?

UPDATE

And from the Department of Did I Call That or What? comes this assertion in an email from MoveOn.org:

More than 100 MAGA election deniers have already secured their GOP nominations for the November ballot. They must be held accountable and prevented from corruptly seizing power.

What, by being elected?

We Could Tell You But Then We’d Have to Kill You. Which Isn’t Off the Table if You Defy Us.

Rand Paul Says Gun Control Bill Was Kept ‘Secret’ And Senators Not Allowed Time To Read It [More]

Where have we heard that before?

With the “red flag” provisions, that makes perverse sense.

UPDATE

And who’d have guessed the bill contains surprises that don’t appear to have anything to do with guns but plenty to do with pharmacy benefit manager lobbyists.

Close Enough for Government Work

The California Department of Justice’s 2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal went live on Monday with publicly-accessible files that include identifying information for those who have concealed carry permits. The leaked information includes the person’s full name, home address, date of birth, and date their permit was issued. The data also shows the type of permit issued, indicating if the permit holder is a member of law enforcement or a judge. [More]

Aside from showing what total dolts these parasites are, and that any registration scheme makes listees exposed and vulnerable, the data could be useful in a civil rights action to show minority underrepresentation. After all, who’s more racist than anti-armed citizen “progressives”?

Immigrant Song

The urban crime gangs dominating Swedish cities are almost exclusively made up of immigrants, according to Amir Rostami, a leading criminologist and professor who based his findings on police data. [More]

Nothing to Lose

Cornyn, Other Republicans Push For Biden Administration To Expand Critical Race Theory In Schools [More]

Talk about living proof of Quigley’s assertion:

“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy” (Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.)

It’s not like this rascal needs to worry about being thrown out anytime soon, and by the time he does, I’m sure he’s done plenty of favors that should pay off in future gigs. Meanwhile, it’s like these Swamp guys are doing their best to break up the wave for those who DO have to run in November.

The Eye of the Beholder

On Thursday, June 16, 2022, we were informed of the deaths of two former Hartford Public School students. This is an unfortunate and tragic incident, and we are deeply saddened by the loss of members of our Hartford Public Schools community. We are prepared to provide proper support and resources for students and staff affected by this tragedy. Our thoughts are with our former students’ families, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. [More]

Jeez, and I was gonna say “Good shoots!”

The Short Answer

Repeal the Second Amendment: ‘No one has the absolute right to own any weapon they want’ [More]

No. Your move.

The shorter answer is two words and starts with “F.”

Some morons aren’t worth trying to educate on Cruikshank and Heller’s recognition of a preexisting right because you know they’ll just move on to the next idiot objection.

From Hell’s Heart I Stab at Thee

Although the majority’s ruling impacts our century-old justifiable need requirement for carrying firearms, it does not change any other aspect of New Jersey’s public carry law. To be clear: Carrying a handgun without a permit is still illegal in this state, and all other requirements for obtaining a carry permit still apply. [More]

And like our totalitarian counterparts in California, we will continue to throw every obstacle that will take years to clear that we can think of in the way.

It’s called being a Faubus.

Same as It Ever Was

Such discretionary and capricious gun laws would allow corrupt cops to disarm rival gangs that threatened Tammany Hall’s authority or undermined its political interests. Big Tim’s cronies could use the law to punish business owners who didn’t pay protection money or deny entire neighborhoods the ability of self-defense. [More]

Gun laws: Those with the guns make the laws.

No Guarantee

Prosecuting Trump will ruin our nation — and might not hold him accountable [More]

I wish I had faith the nation is not already ruined.

McCarthy must be picking up signals from the adults in the Democrat party who realize the blowback on what their uncontrollable mob is screaming for could be destructive to their interests. As for “raz[ing] the vital wall separating law enforcement from partisan politics” what the hell does this guy think we have now? And as for the “stolen election” being “baseless,” well, just because you throw out a ubiquitous talking point doesn’t mean it’s been impartially and definitively proven.

I do share his belief that Trump is so divisive he would be unelectable in ’24. On top of that, who among us, deep down, doesn’t believe the guy is the Professor Harold Hill of politics?

And by then the establishment Republicans will have had a chance to do nothing with their majority and not earn the confidence of the fickle public, independents, and just those sick of being betrayed who will stay home. The GOP needs a leader who believes in the same policies Trump espoused but can control the way he expresses and conducts himself.

I hope such a person who is sincere and can inspire exists.

Yeah, I know
