Friends of the Court

The Department of Justice has filed a brief with the Seventh Circuit in support of our win against the Illinois “assault weapon” and standard capacity magazine bans in our Harrel v. Raoul lawsuit. [More]

I got the brief over the weekend and am working a write-up.

Also on the same case, 35 AG’s have signed onto supporting the lawsuit.

Playing the Trump Card

The release also said the Trump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, which was described as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.” [More]

So, unlike with Teslas, where enraged psychopaths will vandalize them when nobody’s around, when will we see readily identifiable Trump gold phone users confronted in person, and attacked?

Related story: Elder feral son Uday with his wife and daughter joined her parents for a west coast vacation recently, and the father-in-law rented a Tesla truck– I think they’re ugly but it was pretty cool seeing videos of the dang thing driving itself, which he says takes some getting used to.

I asked him if anybody did anything to intimidate them and he said a few people gave them the finger. That alone is something I just can’t wrap my head around, but I suppose asking “What the hell is wrong with leftists?” is one of those questions we could spend a lifetime on and still not have an answer.

Then again, explain this:

Trump, in reversal, may exempt farms and hotels from immigration raids [More]

More bipolarity from the Professor Harold Hill of politics

And no, of course I wouldn’t rather have a Democrat. What a stupid rejoinder.

Just as stupid as giving the president unquestioning full-throated support, because he’s perfectly happy to fill those throats whenever it suits him.

Gosh Darn It

Fiddlesticks! Science Proves Americans Really Do Have The Filthiest Mouths In The Online World [More]

I try not to cuss online, substituting characters for letters when I spell out certain words and trying to include NSFW warnings when I link to something more explicit. But in real life, especially when playing Scrabble with my wife and she gets seven letter words and triple word scores with “Z’s” and “Q’s” while I have four “o’s” on my tray, or no damn vowels for three turns in a row… yeah, I’ve been known to utter an explosive expression or two…

Which makes it real interesting when my soon-to-be- three-year-old granddaughter is around, in which case my wife’s niece taught me the trick of yelling “Peanut butter!”

Or expanded to “Peanut butter and jelly!” if I feel like the universe is really picking on me and siding with her…

Except now, when we’re alone, I’ve caught myself more than once on “Peanut butter and f_ing jelly!”

No New Thing Under the Sun

Twenty-five year old Deja Foxx is vying for more than a seat in Congress. She’s looking to be part of a root-and-branch overhaul of the Democratic Party. [More]

If she’s the next “It Girl” for fresh new ideas, how come she’s pushing the same old ones on guns?

“We see gun violence as an intersectional issue,” Foxx said. “We want to see common-sense regulation that will keep us safe in school.” She says that means banning military-grade weaponry and not arming teachers. “The Second Amendment was written in a time when those guns weren’t even conceived,” Foxx said.

And her economic platform is even older school.

We’re the Only Ones in the Kapu Tradition Enough

“It is deeply troubling that the State of Hawaiʻi has not been transitioned into a military government as mandated by international law. This failure of transition places current police officers on duty that they may be held accountable for unlawfully enforcing American laws. [More]

And in the Spirit of Aloha:

No One But Perpetrator of Shooting Attacks on Minnesota Lawmakers Will Be the One Responsible

No Constitutionalist, that is, no believer in due process, would set himself up as judge, jury, and executioner. [More]

If it was him, then it wasn’t you and it wasn’t me. And it certainly wasn’t Donald Trump.

Fighting the Oligarchy

Former Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Alex Soros marry in swank Hamptons wedding packed with Dem heavyweights [More]

And they did it on “No Kings” Day, just to show what they really think of all those Regicide Rally useful idiots.

Speaking of the oligarchy:

China is dangerous, behind funding of protests

From the same fine folks who brought us Tiananmen Square…

We’re the Only Ones Peacekeeping Enough

Innocent bystander gunned down at Utah protest as peacekeepers take aim at armed suspect – Police chief confirms victim was ‘not the intended target’ when peacekeepers fired at suspect carrying rifle [More]

It sounds like they had cause to engage, BUT…

We know the victim’s name. We know the “intended target’s” name (and what a leftist prize he’s turned out to be– don’t be surprised to find out he did it as a way to spur more “gun control”). But all we know from this report about the shooter is he was wearing a yellow vest.

This We’ll Defend

250 years. One Army. Minutemen. Doughboys. Rangers. Riflemen. Different uniforms. Same heart. They crossed rivers, climbed mountains, held ground. Their legacy isn’t a monument. It’s a challenge. All Soldier historical posts are consolidated here for easy browsing. [More]

Yes, Saturday was for more than the Regicide Rally. These are very good short write-ups.

You gotta wonder what these guys would have made of Emma.

A Gun Sense Candidate

And by “Trump,” she means the millions 0f Americans who support his agenda.

Here’s who supports Julie:

Don’t wait for Everytown or the Democrats to disavow her, because citizen disarmament never was about “commonsense gun safety.”

Typical: She deleted her X account. On Facebook, she makes excuses, evades accountability for inciting violence, and won’t let us comment. What a coward. She knew exactly what she was posting (we’ll see if she deletes that from her BlueSky account)

She was using her title so she wasn’t posting as a private individual. Looks like Julie doesn’t believe in the First Amendment any more than she does the Second.

Commiesense Gun Safety Laws

[T]he seemingly enchanted Karen Bass also poses in front of photos of Raul Castro, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, whose lifelong obsession was the destruction of the U.S. [More]

¿Armas para que?

And it looks like her deputy’s bomb threat was just a continuation of her policies.

How is it that anyone is really stupid enough to believe it’s about “commonsense gun safety“?

We’re the Only Ones Misrepresenting Enough

“Today our city is grieving the loss of a 15-year-old boy whose life was taken by gun violence,” Akron Police Chief Brian Harding said in a statement. [More]

With this dolt in charge of law enforcement, no wonder the city of my birth continues to devolve into $#!+holedom.

That said, I’m not sure about how true that “enemy of my enemy” assertion is…

The Fudd Queen

In a big win for sportsmen and working families, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives has passed a bill to fully repeal the state’s long-standing ban on Sunday hunting. House Bill 1431, introduced by Rep. Mandy Steele (D-Allegheny), cleared the chamber in a strong bipartisan vote of 131-72 and now heads to the Senate. [More]

Oh, look:

Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund is also announcing new endorsements for candidates in key battleground legislative seats:… Mandy Steele, State Representative, District 33…

Throw the Fudds a bone and they’ll happily throw the rest of us under the bus.

Hey, you don’t need an AR-15 to hunt deer

Also endorsed by AFL-CIOThere’s a shocker.

‘Hudson Antifa’: After Action Report

I don’t normally post here on weekends, but I just got back from our local “No Kings” Regicide Rally, and wanted to share some pictures.

They were packed like this on the whole East side of Main from Aurora Street to the 303, and in the green area on the South/West side. Traffic was backed up in all directions probably around a quarter mile.

They were “mostly peaceful,” with some cars honking and the crowd cheering when they did, although one of the yellow signs in the photo on the right alluded to the French Revolution. I tried to get a better shot of it but was unable to get closer before the sign holder moved on.

The size of the crowd surprised me– I’d estimate around 1,000. So did the age– most looked old enough to know better.

They were basically all white and not hurting economically, and my takeaway is these are some of the most privileged people on the planet and they want to give it all away. They remind me of nothing so much as the Israelites in Exodus, delivered from slavery and sustained by undeniable miracles, who, the second Moses turns his back, start fashioning a Golden Calf to worship instead.

I wonder how many of them could define “fascism,” but my purpose in going was to assess, not to engage in debate.

If Republicans blow the mid-terms, things are going to get real interesting.

Today’s Five Minute Activism Project

It won’t even take you that long.

Have you contacted your Senators, assuming they’re not safe in Blue territory and it’s not a complete waste of your time?

I prefer to do it this way rather than call because it lets them know others are watching.
