Notes from the Resistance
Many Unhappy Returns: Journalists Deserve All the Angst Trump’s 2nd Term Brings [More]
We don’t hate “Authorized Journalists,” “Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists,” “real reporters,” and “DurantyStreicher Media (DSM)” nearly enough.

NYT’s Leonhardt: Trump ‘Radicalized’ Democrats to Far Left by ‘Lying About Immigrants’ [More]
What, they’re not going to vote Democrat and create an unchallengeable supermajority dictating from all three branches after the superhighway to citizenship opens?
The treason we’ve come to expect from “The Newsraper of Record“…
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

…about January 6 [More]
I’d add “How could the government prosecute and sentence Stewart Rhodes to 18 years when he didn’t enter the Capitol and didn’t bring firearms into Washington DC?”
The real reason seems to be putting a hard stop to the notion that LEOs have a right and a duty to disobey unlawful orders.

And none of them recognized him…?
Mom said she couldn’t be sure and they had to come to her…?

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]
The state that inflicted Joe Biden onto the political scene says banning semiautomatic rifles and magazines doesn’t infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
Mark W. Smith ties it in with related cases SCOTUS is considering. And I continue to be suspicious of relying on “common use.”

While the lawsuit was only brought by New Jersey and Minnesota, the “larger coalition that will be working together includes 16 states in total,” the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said to Newsweek. These states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as Washington, D.C. [More]
As long as the Supreme Court lets them get away with infringements, it will only get worse.
Until the Justice Department steps up and defends all civil rights from state denials, the only “legal” defense will be what the gun groups can scrape up from the same overburdened donors. I’m afraid Pam Bondi has established a record of being more the type that defends employer infringements. My guess is Trump is more interested in what she can do to squash bugs like Bragg.

Police seized the weapons under Virginia’s red flag law, arguing that Mohammad Chanaa, the students’ brother and a George Mason alumnus, was “linked to destruction of property in connection with a large group of people with like-minded rhetoric” and posed a danger to others given his possession of “terroristic” materials. [More]
And someone thinks telling them they can’t have guns is the answer?
Has anyone coined the term “CAIRorrist” yet?

This afternoon on the elementary playground, a young student managed to access the Student Resource Officer’s secured firearm and discharge it within the SRO’s holster into the ground. [More]
Another reason why highly trained police officers should be the “Only Ones” armed in “gun-free zones,” right?
Did he have his bodycam on?
And whatever happened to this bill that would have required:
The personal body camera shall be continuous in its operation while the peace officer is in the performance of his or her duties and shall be worn in such a manner that all audio and video images of his or her contact with any person is digitally recorded.
Anybody up on what the law currently says on that?

Madison police investigate shooting at Abundant Life Christian School [More]
Christian school shootings like at The Covenant and Feather River certainly seem to validate George Brougham’s assertion:
Evil does exist. Evil IS.
Who’s up for After School Satan Club?
I’ll come back to this post with significant updates as new developments become known. In the meantime, keep up to date by checking this link.
I notice the blood dancers are wasting no time letting a crisis go to waste.

Are you pondering what I’m pondering?
“This does not affect casework. This is purely a statistical issue, this is not an operational issue.” [More]
If they’re truly that incompetent, how can we belive that conclusion? How do we know it’s not a purely political issue with intent to make department performance and credit look better than it should be?
I mean, the boobs can’t tally a simple report but they can give four chiefs $500K buyouts and pass out double-digit pay increases to everyone with a snout in the trough…

Christopher McDonnell, 32, pleaded guilty in October to more than 20 felonies including murder, attempted murder, murder conspiracy, weapon charges and being a felon illegally in possession of a firearm. [More]
Tell me I don’t want him anywhere near me without telling me I don’t want him anywhere near me.
So, how many times has he been cut loose to continue being a known threat?
Sounds like the whole family needs a custodian. And tell me Kayleigh doesn’t just scream “Good judgment in men”…

A suburban New York police department routinely violated residents’ civil rights, including making illegal arrests and using unnecessary strip and cavity searches, according to a new U.S. Department of Justice report. [More]
Can we presume their bodycams weren’t the only things turned on?
And the badged @$$holes who lied were only docked and aren’t in jail? Why do I wonder if one of them called “Riccola” during the cavity search?

Adam Schiff Cries About Trump Pardoning January 6th Protesters – ‘Not What American People Had in Mind’ [More]
Not quite, anyway. After freeing the political prisoners, I’d like to see their cells occupied by Michael Byrd, the FBI provocateurs, and the J6 Committee…
And with this in mind…

Professor Blames Math’s ‘Rational Thought’ for Women’s STEM Struggles [More]
So it’s not just racist, it’s sexist?
And is it just “biological women”? Because I sure don’t look for rationality from Zooey Zephyr, but what would that do the the professor’s thesis?
