Classical Liberalism vs Modern Liberalism (Socialism) — A Primer by Miguel A. Faria, MD [More]
A fine article, like a fine wine, can improve with age.
Then again, I’m clearly biased.

Gun and ‘Disinformation’ Control Show Tyranny is Growing
They don’t want you to have guns and they don’t want you to have free speech. Hey, if you can get away with ignoring the Second Amendment, why should you respect the First? [More]
What’s more, a globalist collectivist tyrant from New Zealand is joined on her pathway to tyranny by what our media pass off as a “conservative.”

What did we learn?
Those privileged commie kids sure have hostile victim attitudes instilled in them by the cultural Marxists, don’t they? I kind of wonder if you got one of them alone and asked them to flesh out what specific overt acts of white racism have been committed against them personally, you’d get a lot of this:

If You’re So Inclined
On Saturday, September 24th from 1-4 pm, patriots will gather in Washington, D.C., at the corner of Constitution NW and First St NW, North of the Reflecting Pool, to stand united against the political persecution of the January 6th political prisoners. [More]
I was thinking of titling this “Calling All Provocateurs,” but don’t want to be seen as discouraging honest efforts. That said, I’m staying away from politically-charged crowds these days, especially ones monitored by corrupt feds planning on coming for you in force afterward at a time and place of their choosing.
Then again, some will counter, if we give our right to peaceably assemble up to that, in a way the enemies have won.
Me, I’m thinking a developing “wartime” footing makes the idea of a peaceable assembly a wishful thinking illusion, we’re beyond that now, and the new rules are, let the other guy be the one who’s vulnerable.
Anybody heard any online chatter about this?

Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak
Ari Dodge Sheehan, the counseling secretary for the Seattle-area Lynnwood High School, in March sent an employee-wide email to promote “Transgender Visibility Day” and provide guidelines on how to work with transgender students. The message included a section on “terms to avoid” that listed “born a man,” “born a woman,” “biologically male,” “biologically female,” “biological boy,” “biological girl,” “genetically male,” and “genetically female.” [More]

The First Amendment Loophole
Biden Asks Congress To End Social Media Immunity At WH Summit Due To “Hate-Fueled Violence” [More]
It will be selectively enforced in such a way to only apply to the destruction of Gab, Truth Social, Parler, and the like, and give the giant administration-friendly Twitter and Facebook platforms all the legal excuses they need to up the censorship on behalf of the government…

Pillow Talk
They asked him about Colorado and Dominion voting machines, then provided him a warrant to seize his phone. At first, he said, he didn’t want to turn it over because he runs all of his companies off that phone and he couldn’t operate without it. They didn’t raid him at his home. They tracked him down. He had been on a hunting trip in Iowa and was driving back. He stopped at a Hardee’s in Mankato, Minnesota. That’s when they appeared out of nowhere. They went to the trouble of hunting him down. [More]
That was to send an ominous message.
He’s lucky he was in a public place. Imagine the free rein they’d have had if they’d pulled him over on a secluded stretch of road.

That Shook When He Fired Like a Bowl Full of Jelly
In a letter today to FTC Chair Khan, the senators highlighted the firearms industry’s efforts to mislead consumers about the safety of guns and the employment of advertising tactics that target children and teenagers – including using video games, popular musicians and television shows, and even Santa Claus to market its deadly products.

There is no level of obsession too ludicrous for these power freaks to demand control over. None.

All Writs Now, Baby, It’s All Writs Now
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in the case of Jones v. Bonta, challenging a California law restricting the rights of young adults to purchase long guns, are asking the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for an “All Writ” enjoining the state from enforcing a new state law that penalizes plaintiffs in cases contesting state gun laws. [More]
Why should arrogant tyrants who ignore the Second Amendment with impunity have any respect for the First?
We are Controlling Transmission
The New Civil Liberties Alliance, the Attorney General of Missouri, and the Attorney General of Louisiana, have filed a lawsuit that blows the lid off a sprawling federal censorship regime that will shock the conscience of Americans. The joint statement on discovery disputes in the lawsuit, State of Missouri ex rel. Schmitt, et al. v. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., et al., reveals scores of federal officials across at least eleven federal agencies have secretly communicated with social-media platforms to censor and suppress private speech federal officials disfavor. This unlawful enterprise has been wildly successful. [More]
A Justice Department that wasn’t a prime violator would make this a top priority. That it won’t tells us much.

See the way cultural conquerors do the censorship job government cannot (yet)?
The Economic Fascist Workaround
DHS Signals So-Called ‘Disinformation’ Work ‘Can and Must’ Continue [More]
That way, supportive “private” actors can do the government’s censorship dirty work for it without triggering First Amendment alarms.

We’re the Only Ones Taxing Enough
Louisiana Sheriff Loses Tax Lawsuit Targeting Smith Angus Farm [More]
I see the sheriff bills himself as a “Republican”… I guess he stuck a wet finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing, but at heart, we know what he’ll always be.
And he’s done one other thing that may be actionable:
Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office limited who can comment on this post.
How is that not a First Amendment violation?

The Empire State Strikes Back
New York State Senate blocks citizens on Twitter, an unconstitutional move to crush dissent [More]
If you can eviscerate the Second Amendment with impunity, why would the First worry you? And it’s just fine, of course, with Twitter, which does the Democrats’ bidding in a fascist public/private partnership workaround. Besides, policy violations only result in expulsion for those deemed enemies of the regime.
Speaking of Toxic Messengers…
Are gun advertisements in FTC’s crosshairs? Critics decry ‘toxic’ messaging as firearm sales soar [More]
If tyrants don’t respect the Second, why should the First bother them any?

Key Questions
The ATF claims that Hoover conspired with Ervin to sell lightning links. They further contended, quite audaciously, that raising money for Ervin’s legal defense was part of that conspiracy on the theory that, if Ervin won his case, Hoover would be able to advertise the card again. The ATF admits that Hoover never sold any cards but maintains that, since he promoted the AutoKeyCard, he was also guilty.[More]
Tyrants don’t like the First Amendment any better than they do the Second. We’ll see if this “unravels.” Me, I don’t trust the referees.
They really do seem to have been piling up the in-your-face outrages of late, almost like they have expectations they’ll be able to keep squeezing. Either that or somebody is trying to provoke something so they have an excuse to go all out.
