“In 2000, before the general election, I introduced a bipartisan resolution to amend the Constitution and abolish the Electoral College.” [More]
How could it have been “bipartisan” if the only co-sponsor was a Democrat and it was never voted on?

My Kind of Razzmatazz
“The vice mayor, a guy named Alderman Burnett, convicted of bank robbery, armed robbery, spent time in jail, he’s getting paid in addition to his aldermanic salary almost half a mil to be ‘vice mayor,’ which essentially has no duties or responsibilities other than waiting to possibly become mayor if something were to happen to Mayor Johnson,” Kelly said. [More]
The servants throw the people out of their house– talk about disenfranchising voters. It’s hard to believe they elected a bigger dolt than Lori Lightfoot, but forget it, Jake, it’s Chi-Town.
The “Chicago Flips Red” T’s are an encouraging sign, but they need to get organized. That’d be a good inroad in terms of making RKBA one of their voting considerations. On the other hand, the guy holding the “Refuse to Accept a Fascist America” banner seems mad because illegals are competitors for the plunder and cut into his share, which means his faction is culpable for giving power to scoundrels and morons and will continue to do so.
Still, if it stirs up Democrat division, that’s a silver lining, especially since the screaming Cultural Marxists turn off everyone who’s not.

Canadian per Capita Euthanasia Deaths Now Beat U.S. Gun Deaths [More]
Don’t let the propaganda saying otherwise sway you. Over-regulation is a public health problem, especially with the stresses making earning a living or keeping a business open harder. I suspect if you did a study, you’d find the same results for shortened lifespans as Dr. Lott found about homicides, and that makes it look like it applies to the entire population.

This is the first I’m hearing of the “Green G” system and I’m intrigued. I’m not clear on how BIDS would violate privacy any more than that, especially since a check wouldn’t be run unless the person asked for it and it would create no record of the gun purchased– and there lies the rub. The intent of the fraudulent prior restraint infringement is much more than a mere “background check,” and tyrants won’t give up that kind of power without a credible “or else” attached to it.

The Treason Coalition
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.
