Keep Your Shirt On

The complaint alleges that in Sept. 2022, just two days after A.B.’s teacher, Tom Griffin, covered students’ free speech rights in government class, A.B. was suspended from school for wearing a shirt that said “What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ do you not understand?” and featured an image of a rifle. [More]

Actually, this whole business of compulsory public education seems ripe for Bill of Rights challenges. The government, instituted among men to secure the Blessings of Liberty, is teaching our Posterity to be suspects and inmates, whose bodies are the property of the state, rather than sovereign Citizens.

And ol’ Tom sounds like a real piece of…work.

All-Muslim city council in Detroit suburb approves animal sacrifices at home [More]

And PETA’s not freaking out and bussing in raging cat ladies…? Hell, they’re not even mentioning it.

Kinda like the way the LGBTQ radical brigades kept it zipped when Muslim cab drivers went all homophobic in Cleveland…?

I guess this tells us which weaponized “cause” the destroyers find more effective. And we’re getting a preview of which idiots will be expendable first once they’re no longer useful.

Case in point: If the choice is between environmentalcases and “immigrants,” guess who gets priority and why, and for how long.

When you control a monopoly of violence, useless eaters aren’t that insurmountable a problem.

Speak, Friend, and Enter

The Arizona legislature is now in session and AzCDL will soon be sending out Action Alerts regarding important bills that will be heard in committee. The Request to Speak (RTS) system is one of the most effective ways to let your voice be heard in the legislature! [More]

When Everything Looks Like a Nail

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL., on Tuesday introduced bipartisan legislation that would ban the popular app TikTok from operating within the United States over national security concerns. [More]

What (or who) else could they assign themselves authority to hammer after citing such concerns?

Authorized Opinions

The eleventh chapter of The Road to Serfdom is entitled “The End of Truth,” about the historical imperative in all totalitarian states throughout history to destroy freedom of speech so that the only true belief is “the social plan” imposed by the state, whatever that may be. This is achieved by relentless institutionalized lying and propaganda, coupled with harsh censorship of all contrary ideas or even questions about the propriety of forcefully imposing one single “social plan.” [More]

What kind of fascist wouldn’t want that?

Schiff Happens

By publicly pressuring Musk to censor “hate speech,” which is indisputably covered by the First Amendment, Schiff and Takano are trying to indirectly accomplish something that the Constitution forbids. [More]

Well, it also says “shall not be infringed, but that’s never stopped either of these @$$holes.

Not Monkeying Around

Musk’s Neuralink faces federal probe, employee backlash over animal tests [More]

The obvious intent here is to destroy the man for allowing unapproved speech and to divert the conversation away from Hunter.

So naturally, leave it to The French Mistake to take point for the left-enabling Vichycons and “not understand” collusion and marching orders.

MAJOR 2A CALIFORNIA COURT VICTORY: Critical Win for Gun Rights Supporters TODAY [Watch]

California’s tyrannical attempt to stifle peaceful revolution by economically coercing against petitioning government for redress of grievances gets set back by Judge Benitez.

I didn’t find announcements on SAF, FPC, and Ninth Circuit websites yet, and nothing yet on a news search, so Mark W. Smith has the scoop.

Rob Bonta really is evil.

Stranger Than Fiction

“In my view, Twitter now is jumping to the front of the queue of the regulators,” Věra Jourová, the European Commission’s vice president for values and transparency, told POLITICO. [More]

And here Kurt Vonnegut thought he’d pushed the edge of the absurdity envelope with Diana Moon Glampers

Funny, what happened to all those “progressives” who used to smirk at canceled “conservatives” and say “Twitter is a private company. It can do what it wants. If you don’t like it, start your own company.”

It’s also revealing how their political machine is so significantly funded by unions, where the members don’t do that, but instead, use the government to coerce changes in practices/wealth redistribution.

A Rhetorical Question

White supremacist rhetoric online, including the promotion of racist conspiracy theories, has been linked to Gendron and his motive behind the Buffalo attack… [More]

The goal here is not just to disarm the citizenry– it is to reduce allowed speech to that which won’t trigger the lowest common denominator sociopaths, meaning to eliminate any but approved speech. It’s the same crap the Bloombergians are pulling on Daniel Defense.

I don’t suppose it’s in anyone in power’s interests to focus instead on those who can’t be trusted with words…?

Psychological Lawfare

The federal lawsuit was filed Monday by Everytown Law on behalf of Sandra Torres, the mother of Eliahna Torres, who was fatally shot on May 24 at Robb Elementary along with 18 other children and two teachers. The lawsuit also includes the gun store that transferred the rifle to the shooter as well as police officers and agencies that were on site that day. [More]

Why would those who get away with eviscerating the Second Amendment with impunity give a damn about the First?

There’s no one’s grief these evil, blood-dancing bastards won’t exploit.

Doesn’t Everytown filing this when they know PLCAA is in play constitute a frivolous action designed to extort a settlement for which they could be countersued? It almost seems like a form of insurrection…

Far from the Madding Crowd

A New York Times analysis of more than 700 armed demonstrations found that, at about 77 percent of them, people openly carrying guns represented right-wing views, such as opposition to L.G.B.T.Q. rights and abortion access, hostility to racial justice rallies and support for former President Donald J. Trump’s lie of winning the 2020 election. [More]

As long as they’re going to bring up lies, just calling questioning the election “baseless” does not make it so, nor do demands to impose coercive Marxist wealth redistribution equate with racial justice.

I’d argue going unarmed anywhere you know violent communists are going to be is not prudent. Then again, I’d also argue for being very selective about joining public displays and the part you choose to play in this era of embedded provocateurs and seditious conspiracy trials…

I’ve been a speaker and observer over the decades. Ours wasn’t the side frothing with “hostility.” Another lesson learned: You don’t do yourself any favors or advance any issues by becoming a victim or a patsy.

Certifiable

Removes the national rifle association from the list of entities authorized to grant certificates as instructors in small arms practice [More]

Can it get more in-your-face that this is about the politics of destruction than this? Among other things, this seems like a blatant punitive violation of the First Amendment. Then again, why would that slow down someone who believes they can get away with eviscerating the Second?

But OK, just make sure none of the “authorized” instructors got their certifications from NRA. Then again, those imposing this won’t mind if a shortage means New Yorkers can’t get permits– they’re no doubt counting on it.

Maybe the Moms can do the training from now on. They claim to be “commonsense gun safety” experts.

Any gun or ammunition supplier who arms New York state enforcement entities is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

This, of course, is one more nose-thumbing at SCOTUS and its Bruen decision. It won’t stand unless we get court packing in the years it will take to go through the challenge and appeals process, and meanwhile, the state will have unlimited resources while the plaintiffs will have to scramble and compete for them.

What a POS Sean Ryan — and anyone who voted for him — is.

We’re the Only Ones Alien Invading Enough

Arnu said both his homes were raided “without warning” on Nov. 3 “by 15-20 agents in full riot gear.” The agents broke open the doors while Arnu was in the Rachel home and his girlfriend at the Las Vegas one, and then they “were detained and treated in the most disrespectful way.” [More]

Because a knock on the door and a deputy handing him a warrant and explaining what the issue was wouldn’t have “secure[d] the Blessings of Liberty” anywhere near as much as deploying jackboots to initiate paralyzing terror against a citizen looking for answers. Besides, it’s not like Russian and Chicom satellites can see anything a drone bought at Best Buy might miss.

Here’s the great threat to national security.

And here it is before he took some stuff down.

Now Fly! FLY!

In an opinion piece for Scientific American, writer Bryn Nelson insinuated that my factual reporting on Drag Queen Story Hour was an example of “stochastic terrorism,” which he defines as “ideologically driven hate speech” that increases the likelihood of unpredictable acts of violence. [More]

Life imitates art…?

Such smears by agents of those who crave power and control seem to be all the rage these days.

Montana Warns YouTube of Consequences for Acting as a Democrat Proxy to Censor Speech

Big Tech argues they deserve exemptions because they are not content providers. Acting as content deniers, suppressing anything that does not advance a state-approved “progressive” narrative, and facilitating the universal spread of that which does, effectively amounts to the same thing. [More]

How is removing legal content at the demand of Democrat politicians not a de facto First Amendment violation?
