Notes from the Resistance
It’s a big uniparty and you ain’t in it.
Oh, I’m sorry, the most busted name in news says that’s a “myth.”

Hawaii poised to slap tourists with $25 climate tax… “It’s a very small price to pay to preserve paradise,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a Democrat, told The Wall Street Journal. [More]
And who better to pay more tribute to than “the most corrupt state in America“?
I’d think this would run afoul of the right of citizens to travel freely. Then again, they already require visitors to abdicate their rights under the Fifth Amendment.
And don’t get me started on the Second…
Turban-wearing Sikh motorcyclists would be free to ride helmet-free in California if Assembly Bill 2392, proposed by Fresno Assembly member Esmeralda Soria, becomes law this year. [More]
And that bit about making no law respecting the establishment of religion, or that other bit about equal protection under the law…? Precedent has been established with the kirpan.
Maybe people could start their own “faith” and claim the same “privilege”? Just not without the state claiming it alone has ther power to recognize “authorized religions” (just like in China!)
Then again, it’s hardly surprising that a “Gun Sense Candidate” views rights as things that can be given or withheld depending on what’s in it for her.
As an aside, I always thought Sons of Anarchy based in California was ridiculous, with the first thing you see with all these lawless OMG warriors is them showing unified submission to the law by wearing their helmets of obedience.
For nearly a year, the Commerce Police Department charged innocent people with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol who insisted all along there was no evidence to make an arrest. One of them passed breathalyzer tests 10 times either in the field or at the jail, yet he was still charged with drunk driving. [More]
Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law “is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty…”
What do they say? If you see something, say something…?
Let’s ask George what he thinks.

Donald Trump’s promise to “restore law and order” by indemnifying police officers “against any and all liability” appeals to that sentiment, even as it underestimates the difficulty of successfully suing police officers and overlooks the fact that cops already are routinely indemnified against damages when plaintiffs manage to overcome the barrier created by qualified immunity. [More]
Yet much of the non-critical thinking audience practically orgasmed when he announced it.
USA! USA!

A ruling by the Hawaii Supreme Court saying “there is no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public” drew praise from the state’s attorney general… [More]
If the “spirit of Aloha” is what they’re really after, Attorney General Anne Lopez better watch what she eats.
Tucker to be arrested, sanctioned? [More]
Time was, being a REAL Russian propagandist would win a “journalist” a Pulitzer.

The FBI violated the Fourth Amendment when its agents rifled through the contents of more than 700 safe-deposit boxes in the aftermath of a March 2021 raid, a panel of federal appeals court judges ruled unanimously on Tuesday. [More]
And the reason every damn one of those oath-breaking, jackbooted fascists isn’t behind bars…?

It’s not just the Second Amendment Democrats hate.
After 2 Million FOID Card Holders Rebel Against Pritzker, Democrats Target Illinois Gun Owners’ Driver’s Licenses [More]
He’s altering the terms of the deal. Pray he does not alter them further.
Hey, what was the text, history and tradition of operating a private horse-drawn carriage on throughways at the time of the Founding…?

J6 Truth confirmed InvestigateJ6.org and StopHate.com… earlier identified MPD Officer Jimmy Chrisman as the dangerous thug who fired the Stinger Ball Munition into crowd of peaceful patriots on January 6th. [More]
So it wasn’t Trump telling followers “to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”…?

But McClain, who had committed no crime, did not understand why he was being detained, and his objections were met with swiftly escalating force, culminating in an injection of ketamine that left him unconscious. [More]
I can’t help but notice “Aurora transformed from a reliably Republican city to a decidedly progressive Democrat-controlled one.”
Who thinks that can’t be extrapolated?
The cognitive dissonance— it burns…
On a different note, here’s a handy immediate survival tip that would predclude many such outcomes: Don’t talk back (or at all), quietly comply and don’t resist (unless you have good reason to think you can prevail and get away with it). Barring that, live to go after your authoritarian attackers later.

Here, it just seems that the court is either creeped out by dogs sniffing butts or particularly protective of the embarrassment of body odor. [More]
I’m creeped out by anyone presuming authority to do that to me. And I’m further creeped out by the ones who give their dogs secret cue signals.

Gun owners are America’s fastest-growing criminal class. One state after another is enacting “Show us the gun and we’ll find the crime” laws. Judges and politicians are justifying mass disarmament in the name of “freedom from fear” — as if no one will be safe until government controls every trigger. Federal agencies consider all 20+ million marijuana users who own firearms to be felons (unless their last name is Biden). Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden both retroactively outlawed widely-owned firearm accessories, creating new legions of potential jailbirds. At the same time many federal agencies are stockpiling automatic weapons, Biden calls for banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles owned by 50 million Americans. [More]
And as you can see from the other Intolerable Acts presented, it’s not just about RKBA.
That’s the problem with the “single issue” cop-out. Because those doing it know damn well it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed a vote on two bills relating to FISA Section 702 extension and reform, making it likely that the unconstitutional Section 702 will be renewed without change until April 2024. [More]
Well, that didn’t take long.
So… friend of my enemy, right…?
