Notes from the Resistance
And in Brand’s case, the public furor being incited may be more about leftist policies he opposes, like Covid “denialism” now being painted as a “right-wing signaling trope.” He’s left the reservation. It’s too dangerous to let a previously favored mass influencer do that. [More]
It’s not about self-absorbed celebrity narcissists. What they can do to anyone based on unproven allegations they can do to you and me.
The questions raised here are bigger than that. They go to the heart of how agencies are empowered to prosecute citizens operate, and what oversight and restraints are in place to keep abuses in check. [More]
What does it say about the administration that it uses all of its legal might to keep from answering them?
She took from “needy families” and “the poor”…the same ones she’s counting on slick-talking into voting for her again. [More]
Stupid Baltimore voters continue to impose the kind of government they deserve on everybody else.
This posted when I’d already left for Texas, so I’m just getting to it now. I’ve got a ton of work to do to play catch-up on article commitments, so that will take priority over blogging here until I can clear the decks.
That means there will be story tips I can’t get to.
In Morrison’s case, we find, unsurprisingly, she’s a Democrat and a Joe Biden appointee. We also find that “The U.S. Senate confirmed Morrison on June 8, 2022, on a vote of 53-46.” That was close. And it means Republicans had to vote to confirm her. Which Republicans? [More]
With “Republicans” like Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney, who needs Democrats?
Unlawfully usurping authority isn’t the only thing the government is trying to hide in this case, and by that, I mean in relation to guns. [More]
Two big questions concerning unlawful government practices allegations will remain unanswered if a stonewalling DOJ has it’s way and Republicans continue their deliberate indifference.
“This may entail substantial changes to the American Constitution, or its interpretation, or wider weapons bans than the one that expired in 2004. [More]
Anti-gun agenda “science” = junk science.
The complaint was filed by attorney Stephen D. Stamboulieh on behalf of this correspondent to compel the Department to produce information regarding “consent to a permanent entry in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).” [More]
Expanding the rules without lawfully delegated authority and based just on their own say-so seems to be the way with these autocratic functionaries.
What’s harder to know is why any gun owner who believes in rights as articulated by the Founders would give defeatist and wrong-headed frauds the time of day, let alone be influenced by their equivocations. [More]
I wouldn’t look to these people for freedom.
They hate you. And they want you disarmed. [More]
These cultists give us some of the best reasons I can think of never to disarm.
Gonzales showed what kind of Republican he was back in 2005 when he told the Senate he wanted them to remove Patriot Act restrictions and that he supported Congress extending the expired “assault weapon” ban, pointing out that his brother was a Houston SWAT officer… [More]
It must be a “good” boot to the face if it has an “R” on it. Right…?
Baldwin has repeatedly insisted he never pulled the trigger. The reports say that’s not true. Was he lying? [More]
Who thinks they wouldn’t face charges if the tests refuted their testimony?
“I think we have to have some serious conversations about something that’s not popular. Everybody doesn’t need a gun.” [More]
Why would an arrogant official who thinks citizens don’t “need” a gun think they need any other rights?
Oakland officials not only don’t have a plan to fix anything but what they’re doing can only make things worse. [More]
What we have here are useful idiots who don’t have a clue being manipulated by power interests who know exactly what they’re doing.
Today’s SCOTUS vote putting a hold on O’Connor’s block shows a Bruen Second Amendment majority does not necessarily reflect across-the-board solidarity on the separate issue of regulatory authority. And at least one of the votes is no surprise. [More]
Think of one job you’ve applied for where you’d have gotten it if you decided to play coy with the hiring managers.
It’s tough enough with domestic “Only Ones” inclined to obey any orders without questioning their lawfulness. What kind of restraint can we expect from mercenaries who do not come from a Bill of Rights culture, but from despotic and impoverished areas of the world where a totalitarian government dictates what privileges it will recognize and what obedience it demands? [More]
Doing the jobs (most) Americans won’t do…?
JPFO publicizing Project Exile would have Zelman rolling over in his grave. [More]
It’s tough enough beating back citizen disarmament schemes without having to tell our ostensible leaders to stop advocating for them.
Addressed to the Office of the Attorney General, the request notes a commitment by Biden to “consent to a permanent entry in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System such that he will be denied via NICS if he attempts to legally purchase another firearm.” [More]
Separation of powers? We ain’t got no separation of powers. We don’t need no separation of powers. I don’t have to show you any stinking separation of powers.
After all, the first FOIA request was initially balked at by questioning my qualifications as a journalist, then claiming no records could be found, then saying they withdrew that, and finally declaring they shouldn’t have responded at all because Biden’s privacy interests made the requested documents none of the public’s business. Now they’re saying they can’t answer the second FOIA request because of “ongoing litigation.” [More]
ATF has more excuses than Joliet Jake.
How the new disarmament edicts will play with Brazil’s established “gun culture” will be instructive. Defiant Bolsonaro backers should not be surprised to find themselves smeared as extremists and conflated with criminal insurrectionists by highly-placed government officials and the media, just like here in the U.S. [More]
The parallels between there and here are numerous and disturbing. As are the tactics and goals of totalitarians demanding a monopoly of violence.
