Notes from the Resistance
Former Mexican cartel kingpin Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada will spend the rest of his life in prison after pleading guilty Monday to U.S. drug trafficking charges and saying he was sorry for helping flood the U.S. with cocaine, heroin and other illicit substances and for fueling deadly violence in Mexico. [More]
Sounds like he doesn’t want to be found hanging by a chain and is signaling those who betrayed and supplanted him that, with a plea deal that “doesn’t obligate Zambada to cooperate with government investigators,” it’s better for everyone concerned not to try.

Now all Oregonians will be getting a taste of what the legislature dishes out to gun owners year after year. [More]
Based on results Democrats getting a free ride like the taste, the brainwashed ones in the middle have bought into the “fair share” nonsense, and the ones at the top gaining more power and influence have money men to dodge and minimize the impacts.

No, that’s not where three buck stops. And it doesn’t excuse untreated bipolarity. I’ve been a manager before. It’s on you to direct your good people and cull the bad ones.
This is what happens when key people are purposely excluded— although the way those key people have avoided acknowledging that and demanding their seat at the table is telling. They’re all cowed and walking on eggshells hoping to be able to claim credit for scraps while not offending a mercurial Patrón from turning on them for being “disloyal.”

What’s that word for the state owning the means of production again…?
Talk about gun control! This is what some are calling “pragmatic”? This line in particular recalls nothing so much as what Captain Kirk said to Jojo Krako:
Such ownership would not dictate policy from above, nor should it. But it would create a built-in incentive for the government to preserve a healthy firearms ecosystem.
Who’s dictatin’? We’re incentivizin’!
Good grief.

Tell us again how an armed citizenry wouldn’t stand a chance against “F-15s and nukes” if enough conclude real tyranny has taken power, they’ve nothing left to lose, and a few outliers start setting examples.
Lest that observation be taken as a terrorist threat by those who demand we be disarmed, this is what we, mindful of history and striving to right the course of the Republic peaceably with all the remarkable tools bequeathed to us by the Founders, have been working to avoid while they, in their arrogance, continue to squeeze.
As a secondary “benefit,” it’s their lives, too, we’ll save if we’re successful.
