The Chicago Way

A federal judge ruled that a 76-year-old former Chicago alderman accused of bribery and lying to the FBI is unfit for trial, saying it would have an “adverse effect” on her health. [More]

Using that rationale, anyone up on a capital murder charge could make the same claim.

Corrupt Chicago Democrat politicians: Say it ain’t so.

Go on, say it.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

One Big Beautiful Befuddlement

The One Big Betrayal in the One Big Beautiful Bill [More]

Fireams News colleague Darwin Nercesian notes cowardice and weasel-wording instead of fidelity to principles and promises. The exchange with the Thune flack expecting praise shows how tone deaf these people are.

I wish this had come out before my latest AmmoLand piece was published– I’d have linked to it and tried to get it more eyeballs. Maybe you could help?

Speaking of the mag, the July 2025 issue, featuring two articles by yours truly, is now available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic:

It’s equitable, too, I didn’t forget that, but even more so if you subscribe.

An Age-Old Question

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and the State of Missouri have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to immediately block enforcement of Jackson County’s sweeping gun control ordinance targeting young adults. [More]

But…but…but without it, Audie might get a gun!!!

The cognitive dissonance… it burns…

Agree to Repel

“Agree to disagree” is a phrase that ends a conversation. We want to start one. [More]

Yeah, but then you lie to me. Sorry, not interested in doing anything other than exposing you and your ultimate agenda.

The Ad Council = Professional propagandists. Everything they demand relies on violence monopoly enforcers with guns.

I agree to expose fascist establishment whores. I agree to defy. I agree to resist.

We’re the Only Ones with More than Our Cover Blown Enough

An FBI special agent who supervised other agents had sex with prostitutes during overseas assignments and domestic travels, and used an agency-issued device to pay for the encounters… [More]

So, naturally, “criminal prosecution was declined.”

The girls weren’t the only ones being $crewed…

Please or Else

“We, your Majesty’s faithful subjects…” began the petition beseeching reconciliation with King George from the Second Continental Congress on July 5, 1775. That offering became known as the Olive Branch Petition. The following day, Congress issued its Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms, explaining why hostile British troops would henceforth be gunned down on the battlefields of America. [More]

As with all things, the number of warnings will be finite.

Brooklyn Bridge for Sale

There has been concern raised in recent days that the Trump administration is considering amnesty for farm workers and hospitality workers. Rollins said the president “has been unequivocal that there will be no amnesty.” [More]

And can they promise that for when Democrats take over?

Now tell us “No birthright citizenship for the kids they crank out,” and “No inclusion in census counts for apportionment.”

I think we’ve all seen this movie.

Thank You, Captains Obvious

Open-Carry Ban in Philadelphia Is Unconstitutional, Court Rules [More]

We really need a court to declare that?

The most telling quote:

“While we will leave that choice to the individual we will state that in many urban areas (namely Philadelphia) doing so will draw unwanted attention from law enforcement…”

Yeah, ignorant armed Only Ones freaking out over citizens claiming their birthright seems to be a recurring infringement in a lot of places.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Open Your Wallet Again (Not)

On June 30, Lisa Supernaugh (formerly treasurer Woody Phillips’ right hand) filed a lawsuit against NRA, in Fairfax County Circuit Court. In it, she alleges that she was forced out after reporting illegalities, and that her termination violated New York and Virginia “whistleblower” legal protections. [More]

Everybody satisfied it could never happen again so it’s OK to resume sending money…?

Now THERE’S a Name I Recognize!

[More]

True, it doesn’t prove anything, but if I were to use the standard prohibitionist practice of conflating correlation with causation, I’d figure there’s probably a reason the “malevolent dwarf” doesn’t want traditional American adults to be armed.

Hey: Who believes Bondi, Bongino and Patel?

Who’s Infringin’? We’re Confiscatin’

The US Court of Appeals, 6th Circuit, has ruled in a case involving a Sheriff’s Department which confiscated 14 guns and has refused to return them to the alleged owners. [Watch]

Jojo Krako comes to mind.

I’m assuming the claimants did not obtain their firearms through an FFL.

So, if you bought your guns through private sales and you don’t register them with the state, you’re effectively presumed “guilty” until you can prove your “innocence”…? It’s not up to the Only Ones who took them from your home to prove they’re not yours…? And it’s not like the value of the guns is worth a protracted series of battles through the courts.

If I had any guns I bought, say, back in 1977 from a co-worker whose last name I can’t even remember anymore and who may be long dead for all I know, they could take them from me if a guest acted up. The only reasons that could never happen is I don’t know any cowardly bullies with anger management problems and would never allow them in my house if I did, plus, as we’ve long established, I would never own a gun — evil, nasty things things always going around killing people…
