Notes from the Resistance
There’s too much to read and watch, too many places to read and watch it. It’s enough to distract you from the biggest news in journalism right now: In 2024, it’s harder than ever to get a tough story out in the United States of America… The result is a thousand stories you’ll never read, and a shrinking number of publications with the resources and guts to confront power.

As for reasons why, you missed the barn.
So, take the doorstop and let the criminals (freelance and official) rule the night because, as Constable Marco reminds us, “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them. And they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded.” [More]
Just give them what they want? What if what they want is you?
It would help if he didn’t automatically buy into prohibitionist propaganda, but by doing so he relieves us of the obligation to take him as an impartial and objective observer. [More]
Why is there such a difference in the numbers and rates of violent crimes betweeen two armed cultures? Hint: It ain’t because of “gun control” laws.
“When seconds count, police are minutes away” takes over, and the only rational and effective “Action Plan” is “Stop the Threat.” [More]
If you’re going to listen to bureaucrats on keeping safe from animal attacks, you might as well just put on a crash helmet and roller skates, and strap an Acme Rocket to your back.
And his excuse for going after Fleet Farm is that its retail employees can’t do the impossible and read the hearts and minds of customers, and that it is therefore responsible for not just their criminal actions, but for the subsequent actions of those they deal with. [More]
A commie gun-grabber commits lawfare against a deep pockets victim because he can. Just like the Founders intended, right?
I’ve got out-of-state family visiting, so I’m going to need to focus work entirely on articles, with no blog updates (barring something huge happening) until the middle of next week.
Please hold off on tips and email/social media correspondence, as I won’t be able to get to them and don’t want anyone to waste effort calling my attention to something I just can’t get to.
I should be able to check in a couple times a day to approve comments. Otherwise, the only updates I’m planning here will be to announce new articles.
I would only add, That this Exporting of Felons to the Colonies, may be consider’d as a Trade, as well as in the Light of a Favour. Now all Commerce implies Returns: Justice requires them: There can be no Trade without them. And Rattle-Snakes seem the most suitable Returns for the Human Serpents sent us by our Mother Country. [More]
I’d rather have the snakes.

We are at War! What are We Going to DO? [More]
So posting memes and anonymous griping comments aren’t going to do the trick?
The only thing I don’t see is the local level American traitor political and enforcement collaborators, who will act at the direction of their new masters to convince the helpless, the unprepared, and the cowardly that surrender will buy survival. For just long enough to close the trap.
Who thinks the scenario envisioned here is over-the-top impossible? A ridiculous screen fantasy…?
Why?

More f-ing 3D chess from the Professor Harold Hill of politics.
He’s so good at firing people because he’s so crappy at hiring them , or else exhausts thier loyalty with his shenanigans. Here’s another one that turned on him.
He’s bound and determined to repeat the cycle.
‘The rats are … all high,’ NOPD chief says of vermin-infested HQ, evidence warehouse [More]
That’s as good an excuse for impounded drugs “disappearing” as any.
And which rats?
It’s not like on CSI, is it?

It also targets reported instances of “a person’s hostile expression of animus toward another person, relating to the other person’s actual or perceived characteristics…” Literally, the hotline gives people a way of informing on others supposedly guilty of thought crimes – or, perhaps, speech crimes. [More]
Hey, if you don’t have any forbidden thoughts you’ve got nothing to worry about.
And tell me the bill’s main sponsor’s other priority surprises you.

Gov. Kathy Hochul has pulled back the big guns in her subway safety surge, ordering the National Guard not to carry military-grade assault rifles when they check riders’ bags for weapons. [More]
So are those reserved for her timecard cheating security detail?

“The vote on Secure DC is only necessary due to the reckless, pro-criminal and anti-police policies Councilmember Nadeau has championed over her last decade in office,” the Committee to Recall Brianne Nadeau said in a statement. [More]
Not the Democrat who hosted Moms Demand and whose staffer was arrested on “felony charges for assault with a deadly weapon” when he got into a shootout in front of a “marijuana pop up”…?

‘We’re Just Waiting for Another 9/11’: Migrants Buy Fake Green Cards, Social Security ID from NYC Gangs [More]
If it happens there, where authorities not only know they encourage, and where citizens vote for those authorities and view traditonal Americans warning against this as haters and domestic enemies the FBI should be rounding up , how outraged should I be this time?

A Clark County man was entitled to argue self-defense when he intentionally shot toward a person, and was not required to show he intended to kill or harm the man who threatened him, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled today. [More]
While I don’t recommend warning shots, there’s no one-size-fits-all, it worked, and no one was hurt or killed. If history, text, and tradition are the new standards, there’s gotta be a place for “shot across the bow.”
Inducing someone you don’t know to “back off” seems a perfectly legitimate reason for self defense, especially considering what could have happened.
It’s interesting that the three judges against the self-defense claim were Republicans, with three Democrats and one Republican ruling in the citizen’s favor.
