Merry Christmas, 2024

I thank all of you who have given me the gift of your time and wisdom, whether it has been by sending me stories to help illustrate the preciousness of rights endowed by our Creator, by sending a word of encouragement, by educating and helping me grow (either by confirming or correcting my assumptions), or by sharing my links, encouraging me to continue the work.

My Christmas wish for you is that you have as much love in your life as I have been fortunate to find in mine. It surely beats all the riches in the world.

Now: What in the world are you doing here?

It’s Christmas. And if you don’t celebrate it, indulge those of us who do.

Go be with the ones you love. If there is no one you love, go fix that. Go do something loving for someone.

Merry Christmas.

Slow Going Ahead

I just publicized two new articles, linked to below, and unless something I can’t ignore comes up, I’m looking to not do any more until after Christmas besides my traditional annual post.

I’ll be busy all day tomorrow hosting a houseful consisting of my family, my brothers’ families, and my college roommate, and with family on Christmas Day, so please understand that I will not be getting to news tips. And comments will take even longer to get to than they do now.

Take some time off. If you gotta do something, read and then share my article links.

Raid on Innocent Family Shows ATF Tyranny Must Be a Priority for Trump

This is where citizens could really use some of those pledges of Second Amendment protection we heard along the campaign trail from Donald Trump, and from every Republican in Congress who won their seat because of gun owner support. [More]

The new administration, through orders to subordinates, and the Republican-controlled Congress, with the power to subpoena and investigate, could do much to stop citizen abuse — if they want to.

ATF Director Under Trump Will Still Be Directing Unconstitutional Agency

The new guy needs to understand all this and have the AG and the president‘s ear to make sure they do, and to restrain their past-demonstrated impulses to ignore the words “shall not be infringed.” [More]

My latest Firearms News article assesses the best we can make out of a no-win scenario.

Speaking of Representative Government

Biden commutes death sentences of child killers and mass murderers 2 days before Christmas [More]

You gotta wonder which voting block Democrats think they’re appealing to…

Oh… this Martian…

Pressley argued the death penalty has overwhelmingly targeted Black and Brown communities…

Well, who targeted whom first?

We’re the Only Ones Paid to Play Enough

Former Virginia sheriff convicted of bribery in badges-for-dollars scheme – Scott Jenkins of Culpeper County was found guilty of selling deputy credentials to men who wanted to avoid traffic tickets and carry concealed guns without permits. [More]

Who does this guy think he is, Laurie Smith?

Or Lee Baca…?

We’re the Only Ones Profiteering Enough

Instead of enforcing the law, federal prosecutors say a Miami-Dade correctional officer was breaking it to make money off drugs and contraband. Vernell Lawson, who no longer works as a correctional officer, appeared in court on Wednesday accused of abusing his position to engage in drug trafficking and contraband dealing. [More]

So, shouldn’t they call him a former Miami-Dade correctional officer…”

We’re the Only Ones Double-Dipping Enough

The NYPD’s top cop who suddenly resigned late Friday night following damning allegations he greenlit a subordinate’s jaw-dropping overtime pay has a checkered past. [More]

That would be this subordinate…

And it wasn’t just her jaw that she dropped.

They get guns and you don’t.

We’re the Only Ones Accomodating Enough

Upside Down World: Police Arrest Homeowner for Evicting Squatter… A deputy condescendingly lectured Hale, “Just think of it from this perspective, though. Everybody isn’t as fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their house, food in the kitchen.” [More]

If the law does nothing but turn citizens into criminals, why would anyone be “law-abiding”? Fear?

That works both ways and guess who has the numbers…

A Thousand Points of Light Plus One

Guatemalan migrant suspected of setting a sleeping NYC woman subway rider on fire is arrested [More]

“Why did no one stop him?” some may ask…

Fun facts to know and tell…

And what’s with “migrant“…?

UPDATE

Chilling video shows NYC subway migrant ‘killer’ watching as woman he set on fire burns alive and cops walk past [More]

Back the Blue like they back you.

Everywhere, Everytown

Restricting the possession of weapons on the premises of state or local public buildings, parks or playground facilities where children are likely to be present, and county fairs and county fair facilities. [More]

Javier and Rebecca would rather see you and your children dead. How is it there are always secure homes in Democrat politics for such wretches?

Washington Gun Law analyzes…

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

Photos released of man wanted for murder of Metro bus driver in Seattle… Court records show Sitzlack was arrested in November 2023 for the murder of his roommate. [More]

But…but…but Chief “Only One” candidate Shon Barnes says the Second Amendment was written for a different time…

With ‘Republicans’ Like These, Who Needs Democrats?

Rep. Rich Lascelles (R-Litchfield), who we’ve trusted to stand with us, has co-sponsored this bill. Imagine the shock and betrayal – a representative who should be our advocate in the legislature is instead supporting legislation that could lead to the unjust confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens. This isn’t just about policy; it’s about the very principles of freedom and justice our nation was built upon. [More]

He doesn’t seem to be on X.com or Facebook to ratio his idiotic treachery, so if you want to tell him what you think about this, you’ll need to mail, email, or call him.

UPDATE: Looks like he pulled it before I posted this. Somebody talk to this guy and explain how things work.

We’re the Only Ones Searching Enough

Can the Police Make Me Open My Car Safe [More]

As we see every damn day, police can “make” you do practically anything they want, and unless it’s a situation where their overt criminal aggression is immediately life-threatening to necessitate self-defensive force, my intent will be to not resist, comply with orders to get out, put my hands behind my back, get on the ground, etc., to say and consent to nothing (beyond “Am I free to go?” and “I want to speak to legal counsel”), and to let my lawyer guide my actions afterward.

Disgruntled Terminated Employees Biden and Garland Go Postal

INSANE: BIDEN DOJ MAKES CRAZY ARGUMENTS TO DEFEND POST OFFICE GUN BAN [Watch]

Among other things, like disinformation and actual fascism, we talked about the Statute of Northampton here.

Boy, that’s a lot of “Gun-Free Zones”! Now superimpose it over maps of schoools, parks, government buildings, “sensitive areas”…

Welcome to the Land of the Second Amendment!

The Children’s Crusade

After Abundant Life shooting, Madison teens call for gun control [More]

Not all of them, not that Cap Times “real reporters” are aware or would let you know if they did…

I wonder how many know who the city of Madison was named after.

“To the Republicans across the country, I say f— your thoughts and prayers,” says Rep. Francesca Hong, daughter of Korean immigrants able to survive, come here, and vote Democrat because armed Americans, many who died, fought the gun-banning communists.

This is Francesca:

DSA, eh? Wanna hear some of their songs?

F— you, too, Francesca.

Door Number Three

In my view, there are two main types of people who shut down this debate: The first group are those who are openly racist against Black Americans… The second group are people who call anyone who raises this topic “racist” in order to shut down any discussion of it. [More]

There’s a third leg to that stool. I’d say more influential in the black community are its members who are openly racist against white Americans. Since the majority of the problem does not lie with those they blame for their own poor choices, focusing on the racist/woke dichotomy won’t solve it.

Racism is collectivism. I say that because it ignores individual worth, and as a culturalist.

And outside of natural rights, “entitlement” is Marxism.

And yeah, we know it’s overwhelmingly geographically limited to non-diverse, self-segregated concentrations, and we know the great enabler of it all. And to fools who say “it’s poverty,” you don’t know poverty. Generations of our ancestors did, and they were growers and builders.

As a final note, I reject the racial weaponizing of capital letters.

If a truth offends, the fault does not lie with the teller.

We’re the Only Ones Timely Enough

“We have a lot of things that are legal, but is it the right thing to do? We have to rise above that. And sometimes it requires an evolution of our thinking. What was written in 1789 may not be appropriate for 2022 unless we’re okay with kids being killed.” [More]

So, after Obama’s “What works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne” pronouncement, the totalitarians now claim control of all space-time. As if it works in Chicago…

Still, I have some questions for this jackass:

And to those who feel this is too dangerous, that it is uncalled for, that it is unneeded because we have the vote, or the right to speak, that we have evolved beyond such crude reminders of our barbaric past, I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

This badged stooge will work out great in Seattle.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond (For the Children Edition)

Watchdog will make apps use facial recognition and other age checks to identify children… The largest tech firms will face multi-billion-pound fines under the Online Safety Act if they fail to protect children and instead allow them to access harmful content such as porn, child sex abuse images and violence. [More]

So, they’ll have a database of identifiable faces that AI can morph into aging, at least until they don’t need to after such checks become mandatory renewal requirements for all…

But don’t worry. Some child sex content will still be allowed, and they get to decide what’s violent.

Until someone else gets to.

Would you?

Promises, Promises

Homan and Trump Aim to End ‘Anchor Baby’ Citizenship [More]

Just going forward? Millions are already here and coming of voting age. Since there’s no precedent to make it retroactive and there’s a Constitutional proscription against are ex post facto laws, I question if this is something they can just do by decree without years of legal challenges.
