Notes from the Resistance
“I love SpaceX; it’s an amazing company. The problem is, they’re behind. They’ve pushed their timelines out, and we’re in a race against China,” Duffy said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday morning. [More]
If the goal is hurrying to beat someone else for bragging rights, with all the innumerable complexities and unforeseen potentials for disaster you don’t need to make too many mistakes. Especially when the political appointee in charge has a… a lumberjack?… background, and NASA has been distracted with woke bureaucratic priorities for decades.
You send this up and it doesn’t come back, Mr. President, the aftermath political and human damage will be every bit as disastrous. Don’t you guys dare cut any corners.
Yeah, I know, this has nothing to do with guns. But it has everything to do with giving a political advantage to the party that wants to ban them, plus I spent my boyhood years enthralled by Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo and it’s my blog.
Howard University professor calls on White political allies to emulate vigilante mass murderer – Journalism professor Stacey Patton points to militant John Brown in recent blog post about allyship [More]
A “journalism professor” — turning out tomorrow’s commie stooges today! Now there’s someone who couldn’t pass STEM courses, but at least she has a good excuse.
Somebody want to tell this incompetent hatemonger about John Brown’s first victim, and who his allies turned out to be?
Nice to see “historically black” Howard University (Ha! So much for “progressive” Wikipedia!) is a big believer in history, text, and tradition:

Defiant Curtis Sliwa refuses to drop out of NYC mayoral race: ‘Under no circumstances’ [More]
Good. The useless Vichycons have been urging him to drop out because he might be a “spoiler” to prevent Cuomo from beating Mamdani. That goes for you, too, Eric.
Question: If terrorists attack NYC again, do I have to once more get outraged and act like it’s part of America? Seems last time it cost us all some freedom, and for what? Communists, globalists, Democrats, and parasites who want people like me dead?
In response to a question of whether the people decide subjectively what they deem appropriate for self-defense, New Jersey argued that “the people” through their representatives decide what is unusually dangerous based on their perception of “objective characteristics.” As one judge suggested, since all firearms are dangerous under the alleged dangerous-or-unusual test, no limit would exist on what the legislature may choose to ban, despite what the people choose. [More]
Look at all the contortions these robed Democrats go through to obfuscate the unambiguous clarity of “shall not be infringed.”
How many horses and hounds may I keep, again…?

Today, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation and the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Virginia’s universal background check law (Virginia Code Section 18.2-308.2:5) in the case of Wilson v. Hanley. [More]

I mean, yeah, take the win. But I think we have different definitions “major.”

Jeffries stands by Democrat at the center of violent text scandal in Virginia [More]
Of course he does. He knows if Spanberger wants her agenda rammed through, she needs a complicit AG.

In my analysis, guns resist simple categorization as either universally good or bad, dangerous or protective, fun or frightening. Instead, they are best under-stood through a “kaleidoscopic view,”considering the issue from multiple angles. To be sure, this requires maintaining a clear-eyed understanding of the lethal capabilities of firearms. [More]
Some of us have a clear-eyed understanding that sees through fabricated distortions.
That’s why we insist on “shall not be infringed.”
And reject kaleidoscopic views of gun owners as a panacea.

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in support of a proposed rights restoration rule. [More]
They raise a good point:
However, there are some aspects of the Proposed Rule which do not go far enough. As courts have confirmed, the main requirement for disarming Americans—what must be present before they may be disenfranchised from their Second Amendment rights—is ongoing dangerousness.
You know how I feel about ongoing dangerousness.

Justices agree to review federal law banning drug users from possessing guns [More]
I see the Trump/Bondi DOJ is selectively defending infringements again.
Could there be a less sympathetic defendant than “a dual citizen of the United States and Pakistan, who was indicted in 2023 on a single count of violating the guns-and-drugs law after the FBI found a 9mm pistol, 60 grams of marijuana, and 4.7 grams of cocaine at his family home” ?
Am I wrong to suspect a way to erode the text, history, and tradition standard and guarantee bad precedent with a case centered on what would have been pretty much an anachronism at the time of the founding?

With all the not-so-subtle height digs, I’d say it sounds like his temper isn’t the only thing that’s short, but I’ve known men of similar stature I’ve striven to be worthy of knowing, and some who could kick my @$$.
Still, making sure this causes him giant headaches by following him around after home from prison he goes seems fair game.
