An Unequal Trade

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.

There’s a Storm Coming

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?

I’m Tired of Explaining This Guy

Why Would Donald Trump Endorse NeverTrump Deep State NeoCon RINO Mike Rogers? [More]

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.

Snitch Nation

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.

How Much More ‘Pro-Criminal’ Does She Have to Be?

“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”…?

Time to Beef Up That Patriot Act Against MAGA, Right?

‘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?

Warning Shot

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.

Guilt by Innuendo

For the third year in a row, the gun shop owned by U.S. Sen. Ted Budd was among hundreds across the country flagged by federal authorities in 2023 for selling weapons that were later traced to crimes, according to newly released records. [More]

Funny, somehow the “real reporter” on this story missed the standard ATF disclaimer:

Not all firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in crime.

If ProShots was suspected of deliberately violating the law, this story would be ab0ut an ATF raid, arrests, and indictments.

Crock of Schiff

Russia Hoaxer Adam Schiff Says He Hopes Intel Community Will Hide Info From Trump [More]

This, of course, is SOP for Democrats, who have no problem breaking the law when it suits them, but froth at the mouth and demand crucifixions should those they hate do something similar.

Case in point, this article at WND:

No election certification if Trump wins, majority of Dems insist. Party would simply not finish constitutional election process.

Don’t count on any of their cult members to do anything but make excuses and counter-accusations. It certainly won’t change any minds, no doubt because thinking is a very different process than feeling.

One Step Forward…

The Second Amendment Foundation has been granted summary judgement in a federal challenge of California’s One-Gun-A-Month (OGM) purchase law. U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes stayed his decision for 30 days for the defendants to facilitate an appeal. [More]

And thumbing noses at Bruen will drag on and on and on with the hopes that Republicans blow the election and Democrats can reshape SCOTUS to reverse it.

And here’s the thing:

The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions. It cannot call out the troops or compel Congress or the president to obey. The Court relies on the executive and legislative branches to carry out its rulings. In some cases, the Supreme Court has been unable to enforce its rulings.

I’d need a lawyer to weigh in on whether they could charge inferior court judges with contempt for disregarding their rulings, and they’d still be dependent on the other branches. I fear the only “legal” remedy is impeachment, for which Republicans have neither the power nor the appetite.

So now we have to see what Hayes says in a month, and then see who initiates an appeal, then lather, rinse, repeat.
