Deep in the Weeds

Georgia jury orders Monsanto parent to pay nearly $2.1 billion in Roundup weedkiller lawsuit [More]

What you or I personally believe about glyphosate is not the issue. The issue is “What do leftists say about it?”

That being the case, why is Shannon Watts allowed a pass for her role as Monsanto’s PR flack while it was supposedly out there giving its customers cancer?

We’ll see if THIS comes into play:

Protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens is a high priority for @AGPamBondi. To that end, the Department will be re-evaluating some of its recent litigation positions on Second Amendment issues, including silencers.

The Not Ready for Prime Time Players

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans [More]

Aside from giving cause for criminal investigations, way to give the Democrats something to point and laugh at.

UPDATE

As predicted:

Except:

Hegseth blasts Atlantic article: ‘Nobody was texting war plans’ – Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempts to set the record straight on the Atlantic article.

OK, but why was The Atlantic’s apparatchik included on the call?

It’s a Big Club and You Ain’t In It

Chief Justice John Roberts Caught in Elitist Club of Judges and Lawyers That Includes James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Amit Mehta and Ketanji Brown Jackson [More]

Everybody remembers Bill Clinton mentor Carrol Quigley, right?

“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy”

I’m still holding out for Dolly pics.

We’re the Only Ones Speechless Enough

Caruso was involved in a crash while off duty and was recorded by the other driver saying, “If you blame it on me, I’m going to [expletive] you up” as well as “I will murder you right here on the side of the road”… you could hear the sounds of Caruso hitting the other driver. We also asked Caruso, “What did you say?” We were met with silence again. [More]

Must’a been the weight of the badge…

California’s ‘Control Me Because I Can’t Control Myself’ Bill

This bill would require the Department of Justice to develop and launch a system to allow a person who resides in California to voluntarily add their own name to, and subsequently remove their own name from, the California Do Not Sell List, with the purpose of preventing the sale or transfer of a firearm to the person who adds their name, as specified. [More]

So… what the hell are they doing out without a custodian?

“Voluntary,” of course, means coereced to keep from having worse charges filed. Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment care about the Fifth?

The feds tried this crap and never did explain where they get the authority from.

Where Does That Leave Us?

Trump makes endorsement in ‘important’ Wisconsin Supreme Court race- Trump endorses Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel [More]

Well, we know Susan Crawford is a Democrat apparatchik, but it sure would be nice if “Only Ones” favorite Schimel had Word One to say about RKBA.

Is it fair to wonder if Trump had even heard of the guy before? Because if there’s one lesson that should have been learned from all the betrayals last time: Be careful who you give your seal of approval to.

Wake Me When They’re Perp-Walking Infringers

So… which Constitutional laws will the new, improved version be enforcing?

Workaround Answer Hiding in Plain Sight

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued an Interim Final Rule removing the Attorney General’s delegation of authority to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to process applications for relief from federal firearms disabilities under 18 U.S.C. 925(c). [More]

Yep:

Although federal law provides a means for the relief of firearms disabilities, ATF’s annual appropriation since October 1992 has prohibited the expending of any funds to investigate or act upon applications for relief from federal firearms disabilities submitted by individuals. As long as this provision is included in current ATF appropriations, ATF cannot act upon applications for relief from federal firearms disabilities submitted by individuals.

[18 U.S.C. 925(c); 27 CFR 478.144]

Rendering Chuck Schumer’s appropriations rider against ATF restoring rights impotent by removing ATF from the equation is really smart, and I feel like this is a “Doh!” moment for those of us who never thought of it.. How come no one proposed this before, or did someone, and word of it never escaped the echo chamber?
