Padilla and Kash Patel clash on gun ownership in America [Watch]

Did you see a clash?

I saw equivocation over easily answered questions.

No, prior restraints are not consitututional. It says “shall not be infringed.” Yes, every terrible implement of the soldier is the birthright of an American.

But if he answered plainly, he’d never get confirmed?

If so, it’s because Republicans have consistently over the years avoided using their bully pulpits to articulate the reasons for the Second Amendment, so to most people they come across as something that intuitively goes against everything they’ve been “told.”

As long as that’s the case– as long as 2A advocacy is marginalized and relegated to a niche segment outside of the mainstream– treasonous Democrats like Padilla will be able to manipulate with words like “extreme”.

That’s why I’m not letting up on Trump’s unfulfilled campaign rhetoric and what he could do to start turning things around. That’s why I’ll keep calling it out each day that goes by where he ignores us.

FOIA Request Issued on Merrick Garland’s ‘Tommy Gun’

Not lost on observers was the hypocrisy of the FBI Director, who arrests citizens on federal gun charges, “gifting” a “Tommy Gun” to an Attorney General who prosecutes them… [More]

Just making sure they dotted all their “i’s” and crossed all their “t’s”… whether it’s real or not.

We’re the Only Ones R&Ring Enough

Seems to be a thing there.

They don’t call it the Big Easy for nothing.

A Self-Created Dilemma

Despite what the FBI has become today, Joe Biden should never have allowed their murderer, Leonard Peltier, to walk out of a prison’s front gate a free man. [More]

Way to pay ’em back for all the election interference help!

I’m inclined to trust Lee Williams’ judgment because I’ve found him to be the best pure 2A reporter out there. That said, I understand the comments following his article about not trusting a thing the FBI says, and that’s on them. And in reality, it’s not what the FBI has become today– before Ruby Ridge and Waco three decades past, they were a reflection of Hoover from the inception, and we’ve seen how he regarded our rights:

Forgotten Memo Shows Gun-grabbing Built into FBI’s DNA

We’re the Only Ones Acting Enough

Trump names Brian Driscoll to serve as acting FBI director…Driscoll “most recently served as the commander of the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team (HRT)… [More]

In fairness, it’s after Lon Horiuchi’s time, but I still have a few questions I took some angry heat for a while back that have never been answered.

It’s da Bomb

The FBI tracked phone data & narrowed the suspects down to 186 phone numbers… and then down to 1 phone number… And then the FBI suddenly stopped the case. Just, ended it. WHY? Who is that one person that they didn’t want to reveal??? [More]

Why does “Democrats are Going to Jail” to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” come to mind…?

SWAT, Me Worry?

The School Shootings Were Fake. The Terror Was Real [More]

And the FBI sat on information that could have stopped it.

This is a fascinating read– almost enough to make up for the author’s last one, although I can’t help but note this bit of unfamiliarity/overreaction:

Throughout the evening, he carried a loaded glock [sic] in a holster, a round in the chamber, no safety.

Horrors!

And I hate to keep bringing this up, but the last thing cowardly swatters want is meatspace exposure. And I have a feeling this sadistic little Torswat incel won’t remain a virgin much longer.

We’re the Only Ones Unidentifying Enough

 If the federal government wants to find you, they’ll likely succeed. But this pipe bomber escaped the authorities like Andy Dufresne at Shawshank. The latest from the FBI: this person is about five-foot-seven inches. That’s it: [More]

Funny, how TV conditions us to think they’re omniscient and infallible with all that magic CSI stuff…

It’s almost like reality is a Salish epiphany.

Either that or they know and ain’t sayin’.

Refuse to Be a Victim (NSFW)

I doubt this will do any good, but nobody takes a swing like this at me without an old-fashioned Romanian response.

It’s an old scam with no potential to be funny, like the last one. Pieces of steaming excrement like this loser are among the lowest, and I suspect there’s nothing wrong with him I couldn’t fix with my hands.

We’re the Only Ones Underreporting Enough

“This does not affect casework. This is purely a statistical issue, this is not an operational issue.” [More]

If they’re truly that incompetent, how can we belive that conclusion? How do we know it’s not a purely political issue with intent to make department performance and credit look better than it should be?

I mean, the boobs can’t tally a simple report but they can give four chiefs $500K buyouts and pass out double-digit pay increases to everyone with a snout in the trough…

The weight of the badge…
