Another Big Weasel Moment

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.

The Immunity Syndrome

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.

A ‘Pro-Gun’ Democrat

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:

Delay of Game

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…

Nothing to See Here

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?

Me neither.

Anyway, the answer to Matthew’s question is “No.”

Sphenometer Morn

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.

The Content of Their Character

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…?

It’s All in the Presentation

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…

Embrace the Vibrancy!

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]

Rigorous!

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.

We’re the Only Ones Untargeting Enough

“There is no evidence that she was attempting to kill anyone. Essentially what they are doing is they’re taking the offense of shooting into a vehicle and saying that she was attempting to kill somebody,” Fernandez’s lawyer argued. [More]

What’s the lawyer’s name? I’d like to ask him if there’s any legal whoring he won’t do.

Interesting people they give armed authority over you and me to…
