Notes from the Resistance
HB 4145, the Democrats’ latest attack on gun rights, has passed the Oregon House and is on its way to the Senate. (Oregon’s Republicans provided the quorum that allowed the bill to pass.) This outcome should be a surprise to no one. [More]
No, of course refugee immigrant Trần doesn’t appreciate the essential differences between the tyranny she fled and the culture that took her in.
As far as Oregon Democrats are concerned, you Heritage Americans are so yesterday…
Life-threatening Listeria risk prompts massive frozen blueberry recall across multiple states [More]
What could be the cause?
Listeria monocytogenes is a dangerous bacteria, causing roughly 172 deaths annually in the US, frequently linked to contamination from environmental sources, animal feces, and potentially, human fecal contamination due to poor hygiene in agricultural or food-processing environments. It is notoriously difficult to eliminate once established, thriving in moist, nutrient-rich environments like soil and improperly handled farm produce.
Oregon’s agriculture industry heavily relies on thousands of immigrant workers, including many who are undocumented, to function… The USDA estimates that half of all hired crop farm workers in the U.S. are undocumented. Immigrants in Oregon hold about $14 billion in spending power and contribute more than $5 billion in taxes, highlighting their economic significance to the state.
Good thing none of this has anything to do with that “single issue“…
Cheap labor Republicans are every bit the enemy pathway to citizenship Democrats are. And they’re more insidious.

Yes, I know she had another account tied in with her office, but as the linked article notes:
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that public officials who post about topics relating to their work on their personal social media accounts are acting on behalf of the government, and therefore can be held liable for violating the First Amendment when they block their critics, only when they have the power to speak on behalf of the state and are actually exercising that power.
She always was good at “allegedly” gaming the system. Why that can’t be nailed down by a seemingly omnipotent fedgov is a mystery to me.
Might be worth some pushback…
U.S. Representative Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09) issued the following statement in response to reintroducing H.R. 7678/S. 3916, the Gun-owner Registration Information Protection Act (GRIP Act), legislation to ensure federal taxpayer dollars are not used to create, maintain, or expand state firearm owner registries. [More]
Yeah, uh, about that…
Must be midterms coming up…
Then again, if the Dems take over, look for bills that do the opposite to be introduced, and for Vichycon turncoats to vote for them…

I just got this notification on X:
I, of course, followed back, and noticed something that touches on a point I’ve been making for years.
Tennessee must have its political threats figured out if that’s all from the estimated 51.6% of gun owning households who care enough to even keep up with what their state organization is doing (let alone joining it).
No wonder NRA-endorsed Republican Bill Lee isn’t afraid of sleeping with the enemy, who then brags about it. Now compare and contrast.
It’s not “social media.” It’s advocacy media. To all of you who say you’d never “join,” I trust every one of you has alternate means of keeping up with developments that directly affect your rights– and communicating to and working on those developments with those in the same barrel you are.
I imagine some, a handful, will say they do. Great. It’s the ones who don’t that I’m referring to.

“Think of a world where you can’t buy a printer that prints a 3D gun,” Bragg said during a CityLaw Breakfast event at New York Law School. “We don’t then have to do the enforcement cases.” [More]
What he’s really saying is think of a world without guns.
Except for his enforcers, of course…

The rule is, if you side with us, we coddle you. Go against our pet projects—climate change, COVID policy, Obamacare, trans-weirdness of any kind, censorship of dis-, mis-, mal-information, etc.—and we try to destroy you. [More]
They actually take things beyond that– the goal is power, and in order to get it, the tool for outrage du jour is ignorable and expendable if it interferes with the greater agenda.

Then came the idea to instead offer them as military aid to Ukraine… The thing is, flush with more than $61 billion in much more modern munitions given to Kyiv by the Biden Administration, and with major European arms makers setting up local production in Ukraine proper, those 10,500 very well-used Hi-Powers just didn’t seem that attractive, and the deal never happened.

I hate to spoil all the rave reviews from “our side,” but he said not one word about the Second Amendment. [More]
Why?
Biden had no problem attacking it.
Republicans are quick to pledge their “staunch 2A supporter” creds when the audience is just us gun owners, but when it comes to the Republic as a whole they avoid it. My guess is most of them don’t really understand it well enough to use their position as a bully pulpit, to champion it and educate their constituents on why it is such an important shared right. That absolutely needs to change, and the “gun lobby” needs to step up its game to teach them how and make clear it’s an expectation.
If gun owners let them take us for granted, they will.
Working in the president’s favor: The Democrats were sour-faced and seething. I doubt many of their voters’ minds were changed though, and that’s especially puzzling because the working class was presented with a lot of reasons why their economic interests have been, are, and will be better served by the Republican agenda.
I will give Trump credit for what may be a powerful and useful meme if the Republicans are smart enough to use it:
If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
Republicans should show their Democrat opponent who did not stand as part of their midterm campaign. It won’t work against treasonous communists like Omar and Tlaib who “represent” demographically-engineered parasite districts, but it could be an effective reminder in closer races.
A minor image criticism: An aide should have quietly taken him aside and straightened his hair before he entered the chamber. The left side looked like somebody took a leaf blower to it. The night was, after all, ultimately about image.
A self-inflicted vulnerability:
I’ve always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I’m not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn’t know why I’d be taking it.
I’d expect someone like Mark Kelly to have a field day with that one, and for the DSM to amplify it. Then again, Kelly did not stand.
“While off duty and driving home in his personal vehicle, the officer was stalked by this individual to a local gas station. The agitator confronted the officer, filmed him at close range, and recorded the officer’s personal license plate,” the spokesperson continued, noting that Held’s actions were “clear attempts to dox” the officer.

Yeah, sorry, the leftist is definitely a whiny @$$hole, but you can’t lay hands.
Unless I can, too, if similarly provoked.
Sometimes I think you should probably be able to, as satisfying as being able to grab one of these weenies by the lapels and head butting some sense into his face might seem, but that would open up a whole ‘nother can of worms.
Best to not escalate to there. Especially if you have a badge.
