Promises, Promises

Homan and Trump Aim to End ā€˜Anchor Babyā€™ Citizenship [More]

Just going forward? Millions are already here and coming of voting age. Since there’s no precedent to make it retroactive and there’s a Constitutional proscription against are ex post facto laws, I question if this is something they can just do by decree without years of legal challenges.

The Key Word is ‘Purportedly’

Newly uncovered photos and online accounts purportedly associated with the Wisconsin teen school shooter suggest a deeply disturbing obsession with other school shooters such as Columbine killer Eric Harris ā€” and even show her wearing a T-shirt of his favorite band. [More]

But we have no way of knowing that, do we?

I reject this excuse and this one. The evidence left by the perpetrator on social media will not change and there is no realistic way to keep names from being shared. Both the First and the Second Amendments are put at risk by accepting authorities to be the sole possessors of knowlege vital to contextualizing what they tell us.

Change my mind.

We’re the Only Ones Overcompensated Enough

NYPDā€™s $400K-a-year top earner, Quathisha Epps, is retiring early as astronomical overtime pay is investigated: sources [More]

How many criminals did she collar and crimes did she stop?

As long as they’re investigating, here’s something I’d check out because I’ve seen it done before in San Francisco and Philadelphia:

Had she consistently completed all firearms qualification recertifications to carry a gun?

Careful What You Wish For

That and who will relocate illegal aliens to my town?

Sleeping with the Enemy

NSSF is especially thankful to U.S. Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson (R-La.) and U.S. Reps. Steve Scalise (R-La.), Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and Blake Moore (R-Utah) for their leadership in guiding this vitally important legislation to passage. [More]

I’d be a lot more thankful if Everytown hadn’t called Manchin “a guiding light,” and if Heinrich wasn’t a prohibitionist.

Look on My Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair

[More]

Somehow, I don’t think they mean that in a good way. I’m probably going to spring for a paid upgrade to find out.

My biggest laugh is seeing how many papers thereĀ citeĀ my stuff. I wish Iā€™d saved the letter from the dean who threatened to expel me unless I shaped up. And could rememberĀ my physics professorā€™s nameā€¦

Some of us are more interested in life’s teachings, and learning based on passions and interests.

Police Blackout of Madison Shooterā€™s Social Media Denies Information Public Has Right to Know

This is exactly why, unlike some ā€œgunfluencersā€ who advocate suppressing shooter names, Iā€™m against keeping them held back. [More]

The only way to discourage such demons is to deny them the one thing they want more than “fame”– success. And that won’t happen as long as government denies the obvious remedy.

$h!+ Hits the Fani

An appeals court in Georgia has tossed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis off of her own case, a series of wild organized crime claims against President Trump based largely on his own expressions of his dissatisfaction with the process and results of the 2020 presidential election [More]

I can’t wait to see her, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Liz Cheney, and more get what’s coming to them.

Executive by Proxy

How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge – Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined. [More]

Why doesn’t that make everything he has signed subject to challenge? The Constitution requires the president to approve bills, resolutions, appointments… not handler proxies.

Do you think he does his own finances? He didn’t trust vets with guns but the Dotard-in-Chief can threaten Americans with nukes?

UPDATE

I should have added “pardons.”

More Proof That Trump and His Supporters are Racists

An investigation into racist, pro-Trump graffiti messages at @RhodesCollege in Memphis, Tenn. that caused a panic has revealed that it was a hoax from a student. The college is not releasing information about the student behind the hoax. The n-word and “Trump rules” were written on pieces of paper on campus. [More]

Why not? The racist lying $h!+wad ought to be expelled and have this follow him around until he publicly sincerely confesses and begs forgiveness.

And why do “we” tolerate having photographic evidence which provides full visceral effect kept from us through obscuration/falsification?
