Notes from the Resistance
A Washington, DC, 13-year-old juvenile was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking of a federal officer … One of the juveniles was “holding his hand in his front waistband pocket, as if he had a handgun,” a statement by police said. [More]
Not to say that the kid didn’t deserve it, but I wonder if the police would have made the same statement if you or I had shot and killed “an unarmed black child” and told that story.

David Hogg Now Blames “White Woman In Suburbs” For Gun Violence [More]
The world appears on the verge of extended up close and personal savagery and deprivation the likes of which we’ve never seen, and this self-important retarded weakling’s demand is for jackbooted thugs to disarm the type of man he knows he will never be.

But it was not normal. It was an anomaly, a glorious one, but an anomaly nonetheless. [More]
Word:
…I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?
And I loved the bit about the cat women.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a raid on the headquarters of Baltimore’s “Safe Streets” program on Thursday reportedly on allegations that the taxpayer-funded community program is somehow mixed up with the very gang members they are supposed to be keeping in check. The raid sent local Democrats in the city running for cover after so much of the city’s tax money has been plunged into the program that was initially meant to help quell street violence but has become an albatross for many over its lack of transparency and accountability.

This seems to be a thing…
Then again, criminals in charge are what the people in “our democracy” want.
The more corrupt and incompetent people are at self-government, the more they demand to govern you.

When Matthew sued the judge for these egregious violations of constitutional rights, Goldston argued that she could not be sued even if she had violated the Constitution by invoking judicial immunity. [More]
Making people you persecute believe they have no legal recourse seems like an invitation to try it another way.

Golden: I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war like the assault rifle he used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why I now call on the United States congress to ban assault rifles [Watch]
I wonder who he b**w over at NSSF:

If someday, depression gets the upper hand on me and I am a threat to myself or others, I hope someone will speak up and have the power to remove my gun. [More]
You have the power to do that right now.
But it won’t be enough.

California’s assault weapons ban will remain in effect while a court considers whether the 30-year-old law is unconstitutional. [More]
That a court thinks there’s anything to consider is our first clue that the game is rigged.
I think we all know that the Ninth Circuit is going to side with citizen disarmament and it’ll take SCOTUS strapping ’em on to get a proper ruling–provided the Republicans don’t blow ’24 and the composition of the High Court changes while the clock is running.
Not that that would settle it…

Could I BE Any More Vaccinated? Get your shot and then get your shirt [More]
What kind of twisted anti-vaxxer would make something of that?
Remember when Rolling Stone used to pretend it was counterculture instead of a narrative parroting DSM establishment lickspittle?
Anyway, the answer to Matthew’s question is “No.”
The Colorado judge overseeing the case seeking to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot declined to recuse over her donation to an anti-GOP political action committee (PAC) launched in response to Jan. 6. [More]
Hey, just because she openly hates MAGA guts doesn’t mean she can’t be impartial…
A deputy visited Card in Sphenometer, but he was not there. [More]
If there’s one thing “Authorized Journalists” excel at, it’s attention to detail. Maybe this is another of those AI “hallucinations” we’ve been hearing about…
Funny, how many comment posters, including gun owners, believe “taking his guns away” and leaving him out would actually accomplish anything.
US troops in Iraq and Syria attacked two dozen times in two weeks [More]
Will Lloyd at least offer a discount on that bridge? \
Soros-funded group disparages Black GOP governor candidate as Uncle Tom: ‘All skinfolk ain’t kinfolk’ [More]
Notice anything about the ones who scream “Racist!” the loudest…?
On a side note, what are all the “progressives” who say mentioning Soros is antisemitic now saying about Israel’s reaction to Hamas…?
Under current VA policy, if a veteran who defended this country has to go to the VA and ask for help managing his or her financial affairs the VA automatically reports that veteran to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System … and that veteran loses his firearm … automatically, no due process, no questions asked. This ion has not been made by a judge, it’s being made by a bureaucrat. All our Amendment would do would be … to say the VA, just because you’ve asked for help with your money, cannot automatically take away your firearm or report you to NICS unless a judge has ruled that that veteran is a danger to to himself or to others. [Watch]
Now look at how ABC News/MSN couch it, knowing full well most will not do more than scan the headlines and the first few words:
Senate approved amendment that would limit gun background checks for veterans
Then immediately tie that in with the Maine shooter being a veteran…

Venezuela’s worst gangsters have crossed into the US illegally and are unleashing chaos in Dallas, Chicago and Miami – with fearful residents saying they’ve had tires slashed, windows shot out in retribution for reporting them to cops [More]
What are these “legitimate refugees” they’re referring to? Did they apply on the Mexican side and get permission to come over?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
