Notes from the Resistance
“We will hold Social Media Platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms – because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our Democracy. And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare. If you don’t police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable as a community.” [More]
I like her rebuttal to Jon Stewart better than mine.

Police said Kendrick M. Bobo, 19, was driving on Olive with three people in his vehicle. At one point, Bobo pulled alongside another vehicle and the people in Bobo’s car began firing into that second car. [More]
That’s a “mastermind”…?
If only Bobo & Co. had received “cognitive behavioral therapy and street outreach…”

Organizations, non-profits, and community members learned about a regional initiative called “Save Lives Now” on Thursday. The focus is to bring in cognitive behavioral therapy and street outreach to help reduce violent crime. [More]

Great narrative talking point PR release masked as “news,” “real reporter” Jamie Deline! And nice trick burying the tepid non-rebuttal at the very end to make it seem like both sides weighed in.
Well, you can pay the rent this month, but I really didn’t see anything here that Gemini or Chat GPT couldn’t do cheaper.
Jon Stewart blasts Elon Musk for claiming the Second Amendment protects our right to free speech. “Guns don’t protect our free speech. Our free speech is protected by the consent of the governed laid out through the Constitution.” [More]
Mr. Kennedy knew. And he knew how:
Stewart’s call for obedience to his masters is about what we’d expect from the hack propagandist.
He’s always been an apologist for criminals/despots (and if Internet Archive goes back up, check out the Examiner link there).

Why do some say the solution is to treat all of us like inmates?
Sloan also allegedly expressed the desire to “hurt somebody” in class that day in an interview with detectives after the incident and targeted Daffron because she was “an easier target” than the other person she apparently considered attacking, who she referred to as “a veteran.” [More]
There’s a lesson to be learned here.
Several, actually, starting with what if roles had been reversed?
A federal district court judge in New York has ruled that the state’s restriction against concealed carry on private property open to the public is unconstitutional, handing a victory to the Second Amendment Foundation in a case known as Christian v. James. [More]
Now what will the appeals court say?
If the Church weren’t compromised by spiritual wickedness in high places, every parish in America would play this video right before the Eucharist. Just preface it by identifying who this is and saying they are not making political but First Amendment-protected theological commentary on Biblical teachings about sin, and they wouldn’t need to say another word that could compromise their nonprofit status.
Let’s see if Kamala approves of Blasphemers for Harris.

Just three weeks out from the 2024 general election, 41 million Christians say they aren’t voting. They say they don’t like their options, which might be the most intellectually lazy thing someone can assert in our self-governing republic. [More]
Self-righteous inaction does not absolve from culpablity.
Florida’s “stand your ground” provisions won’t give them a pass from prosecution if there’s a question of legality, or if a Democrat DA decides there’s ginned up anger they can exploit. [More]

Last week, MRC researchers found that Google buried US-based right-leaning news outlets on the 14th page of search results. It appears that the tech giant is still at it, as it continues to hide right-leaning outlets in the depths of search results. [More]
Speaking from personal experience you have to go to page 5 of my “News” tab results to find anything of mine from AmmoLand, meaning no one ever will. I’m sure letting my Firearms News stuff appear is just an oversight, especially after seeing what Facebook just pulled.

Even if Trump can win the election with 270 or more Electoral College votes, likely as of now, the fight will not be over. The Democrats have another lawfare trick up their sleeves. If Democrats retake the House of Representatives, then on Jan. 6, 2025, the New Democrat-controlled House could pass a resolution that Trump is an “insurrectionist” and disqualify his electoral votes under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
