Good for him. Now when is @realBlagojevich going to come full circle and reconsider his tyrannical positions on the right of the people to keep and bear arms? https://t.co/HpV1TULmud

So according to a frostback and a Limey, a con-con to rewrite our “obsolete” Constitution is the solution?
What was that line from H.G. Wells’ The Shape of Things to Come?
“We have decided that the Declaration of Independence is inoperative…
That and letting Democrats vote in Republican primaries to ensure we get only socialists and Vichycons?

Lining Up Ducks
Take 2 Million Immigrants and Call Me in the Morning
I know this because the media are publishing almost as many stories about the wonders of immigration as they are about Trump being Adolf Hitler. The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, MSNBC, the lickspittles at Cato — you can’t open your computer or turn on the TV without encountering a tidal wave of lies about our beloved immigrants. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Messin’ with Texas
Through the case, Plaintiffs seek to end enforcement of Texas laws that restrict firearm carry in three locations: (1) in any business where alcohol comprises 51% or more of sales (even if the individual is not consuming alcohol), (2) racetracks, and (3) sporting events. [More]
Despite its reputation, Texas has been late coming to the party on a lot of things.

Second teen arrested, charged as adult in September Rodgers Forge shooting, police say- A 16-year-old is facing the same charges as a 15-year-old who was arrested in connection to the crime… During the 16-year-old’s bail review, 11 News learned he was committed as a juvenile in 2022 for robbery and has other cases pending in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County and Washington County… Additionally, 11 News previously reported police believe the 15-year-old was also “Involved in an armed robbery (Sept. 11) on an MTA bus” [More]
At least the “systemic” part is right. It’s just the next two words should be “Democrat control.”

The Last Stand
No Place to Hide. No Place to Run. The USA is the Last Best Hope [More]
This is another reason why a substantial “conservative” following of the late “Coach Red Pill” YouTuber Gonzalo Lira baffled me:
This is a guy many claiming to be “on the right” listen to and ardently defend, which is curious when you consider five months ago he advised “If you live in any of the democracies of the West, you should leave now while you still can.” … Leftist totalitarians will “take over and crush all opposition.” Forget the Second Amendment, he asserts. “The American military will crush any…kind of armed resistance in the United States.”
Joe Biden couldn’t have said that last bit any better.
Catalyst
“Cedric Dark is … the cousin of a man who was shot to death.” [More]
And now, the rest of the story on the life-changing personal trauma that forged his conviction to crusade:
I wasn’t particularly close to Robbie — he lived two states away … I didn’t attend the funeral. I hate funerals.
And how did it happen?
He was in a bar when he got a call that prompted him to rush over to his girlfriend’s apartment:

I’m having a tough time envisioning how any of the disarmament edicts Cedric demands mandated for you and me would have affected the outcome.

Everyone here has read his America, Guns, and Freedom, right?
No? Why? And why not fix that?
