‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ stars reunite, talk possible reboot of hit ’80s TV series [More]
Will they have to melt their car down…?
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday proposed forcing social media users to verify their identities before posting, citing “national security” concerns. [More]
What could go wrong?
Publius was not available for comment.
Now that she’s let her inner fascist out, I don’t see her putting it back in …
What’s clear from both the Illinois and the California cases, is prohibitionist Democrats, thwarted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, will leave no right unabridged in their totalitarian obsession with controlling everything. [More]
If freedom prohibitionists can take the guns, what’s to stop them from taking everything else?
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…?

Campus Reform went to the DC pro-Palestine rally. Activists tried to get us arrested. [More]
It’s not enough to be an “Authorized Journalist.”They require you to be their Authorized Promoter.
As an aside to all the useful idiot leftist “non-binaries”: Are you starting to realize your place in the Marxist food chain yet?

Supreme Court to Consider Allegations of Free Speech Violations by New York Official in NRA Case [More]
Who thought Democrats would be content to stop at the Second Amendment?
Even Vox grudgingly calls Vullo’s actions “incomprehensibly stupid” and says “NRA poised to win big.”
Biden released an executive order aimed at regulating the artificial intelligence (AI) industry [yesterday], which includes a provision that AI must advance the goals of “civil rights” and “equity” — aka, the left’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework. [More]
Marxism in, Marxism out…

When the bill predictably fails to reduce New York homicides (because it’s focused on all the wrong things, like not on the criminals), look for new hysterical and pointless demands, like banning out-of-state sales, banning “straw purchases” of printers, banning printer parts, and blaming “red” states with “lax printer laws.” And let’s not forget banning possession of 3D printers by prohibited persons, to be expanded to anyone under a restraining order, on a watchlist, or “red-flagged,” followed by “may issue” permits for anyone else who wants one. [More]
You can’t cite the Founders out of one side of your mouth and then undermine everything they stood for out of the other. Well, you could if you’re a New York Democrat bragging about your foreign values…
Thousands of drivers receiving speed camera tickets in small Summit County village… He said he is considering challenging the ticket, but the Stow Municipal Court requires that drivers who want to appeal the ticket pay $100. [More]
These $$holes are right next door to Hudson. You have to drive through there to get to most of my favorite walking trails.
If you took a look at the “solution” vs. the scope of the problem, it would be apparent this is all about revenue generation, and anyone who blurts out “public safety” is just mealy-mouthing an excuse to cover for this being a direct violation of the whole intent of Constitutional government to “secure the Blessings of Liberty.”
They also gouge you on parking. And requiring you to pay by phone seems discriminatory against technologically impaired older people who may struggle with Jitterbugs, acknowledged to be “designed to help older adults stay in touch with their loved ones” and that they only use for phone calls.
The other thing this is is an unconstitutional prior restraint on the First Amendment proscription to “make no law … prohibiting … the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
It’s analogous to a poll tax. Or a gun permit fee.
And every bit as discriminatory.
That seems like a good opportunity for a class action lawsuit.
And if I were a “real reporter,” with the resources of a news organization behind me, I’d be going through city records to find out who got the traffic cam contract, and also doing a public records request for all communications, correspondence, phone records, work papers, calibration records, and all relevant documentation showing city official interactions with them.
Federal Judge Rules Gun CAD Files are Not Protected Speech [More]
Yes, he’s an Obama appointee to be sure, but Mike Lee is the only Republican who voted against him.
An old-fashioned newspaper war inspired by modern politics is raging in Westcliffe and dividing readers [More]
Here’s the right side of the divide I fall on.
And here’s the left.
Swiss writer who called journalist ‘fat lesbian’ sentenced to 60 days in prison, LGBTQ groups applaud decision [More]
Latter-day Swiss betray their forebears and once more bow to the tyrant’s cap.
It’s gone from civil rights to civil rule. At least when it all blows up we’ll know “progressives” side with the totalitarians.
The FBI is investigating what appears to be a noose hanging from a tree at a home in St. Charles County. [More]
Under what legitimate authority?
The guy says his kids swing on it. That seems stupid and dangerous (and possibly actionable), but even if they don’t and he means it to be what it looks like, how is having it on private property against any constitutionally valid law?
On the other hand, it seems like a great incendiary way to invite random arsonists, vandals, and attackers, which I guess brings us back full circle to the FBI.

Nearly Half of Democrats Believe Free Speech Should Be Legal ‘Only Under Certain Circumstances’- “A bare majority of Democrats (53%) say speech should be legal under any circumstances, while 47% say it should be legal ‘only under certain circumstances.’” [More]
I wonder what kind of compromise Republicans could offer…?
[Via Michael G]
“See, we have a First Amendment right to figure out how to suppress others’ speech. We’re the real victims here.” [More]
Anybody still need the acronym explained…?

Leftist Mayor Calls 911 On Peaceful Petitioners – Describes Them As “Far Right Wing” [More]
That’s literally the First Amendment this she-Nazi tried to deploy the SS against.
When I saw this last week my first thought was to do a FOIA and make her go on record– under penalty of perjury — to provide records of all the “complaints” she says she received.
Looking at Washington’s Public Records law, it looks like they need to be inspected in person, which is a showstopper for me– but not for anyone there interested in picking up the ball and running with it.

FIREARM MARKETING BANS REALLY ABOUT ERASING NEXT GENERATION’S GUN RIGHTS [More]
Yeah, that’s a goal, but I’d say it’s really about banning speech to facilitate thought control.
It’s about tyranny.
That’s what NSSF doesn’t get when it thinks it can partner with monsters that won’t ultimately turn on them.
[Via JR]
Tahmineh Dehbozorgi fled a tyrannical regime that persecutes its political opponents. Now she faces threats for voicing her own political views. [More]
Looks like Robbie Leonard is inviting some ethics complaints.
As we used to say at Community School to kids who were @$$holes:
برو به جهنم

12-year-old boy booted from class over Gadsden Flag patch on backpack: ‘Origins with slavery’ [More]
And here I was thinking it was associated with origins of the United States Marine Corps…
And as long as we’re complaining, don’t forget “Vanguard” is associated with neo-Nazis by the same leftists sources.
It’s a Marxist history thing. So much for Sam Cooke’s “wonderful world.”
I’ve got a problem with reports from national news organizations with resources that then say “the unnamed school administrator.” Especially since “charter school” means tax funded.
Then again, the Biden administration is showing us just who works for whom.
Catch the Facebook comments before they’re removed.
New York State Public Library Bows to Bullies, Cancels Appearance by Author Jack Cashill [More]
Because real reporting is offensive, wrong-thinking is punishable, and who better to decide what we can be exposed to than Marxists with their snouts in the public trough?
Besides, they have other priorities.
That’s what happens when the prohibitionist busybody hens take over.
I juxtapose this against an email I just received from the “Society of Professional Journalists” touting their convention in Las Vegas next month, where heady matters of DSM interest will include “Diversity in Your Reporting and Newsroom” and a featured luminary will be honored for being “the first Latina sideline reporter for ‘Monday Night Football.'”
Is it really unfair to wonder how many of the attendees could pass a high school algebra class — or start a lawnmower?

33% of Generation Z believes using the wrong gender pronoun should be illegal. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer supports similar legislation that comes with potential jail sentences. [More]
What kind of anti-government extremist would support seditious conspiracies to defy that?
Or to oppose these pieces of totalitarian sh!+…?

The lawsuit, brought Tuesday by the nonprofit group Everytown for Gun Safety and exclusively obtained by NBC News, names multiple defendants, including YouTube and Reddit, online spaces where the shooter was allegedly radicalized… [More]
If trying to radicalize is the crime, where do I go to plead guilty?
Figures, the “legal authority” they consulted is the “distinguished” Robert Spitzer, who never saw a gun he didn’t want to grab.
Figures he’d also eviscerate the First Amendment…
I’d like to see the defendants countersue the useful idiot plaintiffs as individuals.

Under the Firearm Industry Responsibility Act (HB 218), gun manufacturers that engage in unsafe and unlawful marketing and sale will be held accountable for actions contributing to gun violence in Illinois communities. [More]
These alien freaks literally consider themselves the Keepers.
Next step: We force you to issue warnings.
And the effects on national publications will be nationwide, and not just the advertisements.
So: When does the “firearms industry” cut them off from sales and service?

Gab Stands Firm Against Censorship Demand From New Zealand Government [More]
Our own domestic enemies are seeing what they can do about that.
