Notes from the Resistance
Senate Republicans are rejecting a proposal floated by some advisers to President-elect Trump to take the job of conducting background checks for high-level nominees away from the FBI and give it to private investigators. [More]
I mean, it’s not like FBI has an agenda or anything…
Deep State Über Alles.

The Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado Mike Johnston has challenged Trump to try to deport any illegal migrants from his city, saying he would deploy the Denver City Police and volunteers from the local community to use force against federal forces trying to deport illegals. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun… You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. You don’t want to mess with them.” [More]
Nothing seditiously cospiratorial about that…
What’s the beef against Trump and the J6ers about again…?

Political Parties are private clubs. Primaries are taxpayer-funded elections where private clubs choose their representation in General Elections. So, members of Party A pay for Party B to choose their candidate and those not affiliated with any Party pay for them all. Instead of passing a taxpayer-funded Constitutional Amendment to force private clubs to allow non-members to vote in their internal selection process, why not adopt a system where the private clubs pay for their own processes?

WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott Jensen offer an idea I’ve never considered before, and while addressed to Oklahoma legislators in response to SQ 835 seems universally applicable.
I’ve pointed out a failing of open primaries before and don’t see either party getting their snouts out of the public trough without powerful carrot/stick incentives, but Scott’s ideas are unique and deserves wider consideration.
I’m intrigued. What about you?
“The devil you know,” he remarked, may be preferable to sprawling bureaucracies with even more power to interfere with lawful gun ownership. [More]
Couldn’t have said it better myself…
As for “ATF, when properly managed, serves a legitimate purpose—targeting violent offenders and assisting the firearms industry in compliance,” first, compliance with what that doesn’t run afoul of “shall not be infringed”?
As for “violent offenders,” there are three crimes the feds are Constitutionally delegated power to combat, and unless the baddies are committing treason, counterfeiting, or engaged in piracy, stopping them is a power ceded to the states by the Tenth Amendment.
Everything else is usurpation compounded with corrupt stare decisis.
President-elect Trump announces Pam Bondi as his new pick for US attorney general [More]
That would be the same Pam Bondi NRA sued over denial of rights for 18-20-year-olds where the 11th Circuit, contrary to Bruen, “decided that historical sources from Reconstruction are more probative of the Second Amendment’s scope than those from the Founding.”
I can sense the apologists preparing arguments that her job is to defend state law.
I don’t hold any politician to standards I don’t hold myself to. I’d quit a job that required me to do that.
Wouldn’t you?
More words, President Trump?
This is exactly why “Gun Owners for Trump” needs to be more than names to help him get elected but actually be a presence and have his ear when he’s in power.
