You Have Been Judged

Rabble-rousing Republicans are running for a handful of Senate seats, including Kari Lake in Arizona, Alex Mooney in West Virginia, Jim Marchant in Nevada, James Craig in Michigan and more. [More]

So they appeal to the rabble…?

…a disorganized or disorderly crowd of people : MOB… a group, class, or body regarded with contempt… ordinary or common people lacking wealth, power, or social status… a disorganized or confused collection of things…

You know, deplorables. Slack-jawed hicks and flyover yokels. And no doubt racists in need of deprogramming.

Take it from more-sophisticated-than-you “real reporter” Tal Axelrod, with his Bachelors Degree in Journalism and no indication on his CV that he knows the first thing about those he casually dismisses as the riffraff, what they know, and what they’re capable of.

Gotta spread those ABC Family Values and signal “progressive” superiority over the very public that keeps parent company Disney’s doors open…

Curious thing though, this universal contempt for the proletariat our betters in the DSM seem to harbor…

We’re the Only Ones Graceful Enough

FBI to grant Oregon a ‘grace period’ to allow access for Measure 114′s required federal background checks [More]

So ignore what the law says to accomplish a “greater” purpose?

Do they have the statutory authority to grant themselves that seemingly legislative power?

Does the Republican-majority House have any funding say in this?

We’re the Only Ones Sourcing Enough

This week, Sarah Fields, a journalist with The Publica Now, revealed on social media that FBI agents came to her home on October 17 unannounced. She claimed the agency demanded that she talk with them about her coverage of an alleged Hamas training camp on the US-Mexico border. In her posts, Fields claims that the FBI was trying to get her to reveal her sources. [More]

That way, if she does their work for them they can get back to the headline-making business of raiding J6 suspects…

What do you want to bet they’re trying to keep a lid on a guy on the inside while they wait for a bigger headline-making event to explode in our faces?

And tangentially related, WTF, soulless GOP demons…?

Point/Counterpoint

And here come the narrative media denials…

I’d say this has risen to the court/election interference level where it warrants a Justice Department subpoena and investigation to see who’s playing whom…

Who would be against it?

A Nation of Snitches

A similar network still exists in present day Cuba and is known as the Committee for the Defense of the Revolution, with chapters on each block, charged with turning in their neighbors for such heinous crimes as buying rice and beans on the black market or selling a used washing machine without a government permit. How far away are we from this system in this country? [More]

Based on results…?

Another Big Weasel Moment

The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a raid on the headquarters of Baltimore’s “Safe Streets” program on Thursday reportedly on allegations that the taxpayer-funded community program is somehow mixed up with the very gang members they are supposed to be keeping in check. The raid sent local Democrats in the city running for cover after so much of the city’s tax money has been plunged into the program that was initially meant to help quell street violence but has become an albatross for many over its lack of transparency and accountability. [More]

This seems to be a thing…

Then again, criminals in charge are what the people in “our democracy” want.

The more corrupt and incompetent people are at self-government, the more they demand to govern you.

We’re the Only Ones Conspiring Enough

North Carolina and North Dakota Police Chiefs and Federal Firearms Licensees Indicted for Conspiracy to Illegally Acquire Machineguns and Other Firearms. [More]

Amidst all the outrage over Larry Vickers, let’s not forget we all have the right to such firearms the chiefs claimed for themselves but would arrest us for. I also find it difficult to comprehend how an FFL and recognized expert, versed in all the traps and pitfalls, could stumble into such a huge one himself.

A Feature Not a Bug?

The FBI says it can’t conduct gun permit background checks for Measure 114, even if the law survives legal challenges. [More]

I’d love to chalk this up to incompetence like what happened in Nevada with Question 1, but is it so difficult to believe this was an intended outcome designed to halt gun sales?

Meanwhile, Oregon Firearms Federation gives a case update along with a wider range of observations.
