Notes from the Resistance
So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]
What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?
Alena Buyx, chair of the German Ethics Council, warns against assigning blame for pandemic failures, would prefer instead “honest retrospection” & “learning” because that sounds much nicer [More]
Why is “ice water experiments” the first term that comes to mind when I think of “German ethics” and medical science?

Terrorism, eh? I’m mentioned affectionately, I hope…?
Academia.edu wants me to upgrade to premium to see what’s being said, so I guess my reputation management efforts will need to focus and rely on working with those who know me.

He just couldn’t say anything about it until his pension checks were assured.
That he “remains friends with Chris Wray” tells me any “solutions” he backs will make noise and nothing more. After all, who calling the shots in government went to prison after the Church Committee wrapped up?

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, condemned the U.S. Senate’s confirmation of Martin J. Gruenberg as Chair and Member of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Gruenberg led the FDIC from 2011-2018, during which the Obama administration conducted the illegal Operation Choke Point scheme to deny banking services to firearm businesses. NSSF opposed his confirmation in the strongest terms as he has already demonstrated a lack of respect for the law and unparalleled disdain for the Constitutionally-protected firearm and ammunition industry.

Confirmed by voice vote to protect the Vichycons from accountability. Any gun owner familiar with the Hughes Amendment knows the type of treason that allows the self-serving tyrannical bastards to get away with.
See any Senate Republicans demanding to end that practice and record all votes?
Received via email from Tully Rinckey PLLC:
After careful consideration and over a year after it was implemented, the Department of Defense has decided to no longer enforce the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for service members. Despite the fact that less than 100 service members died from COVID-19 since the pandemic started, many active duty, Guard and Reserve members who refused the COVID-19 vaccine faced removal from the service. This impacted military readiness and those who faced removal now need to understand their rights and how they can legally proceed with the reinstatement process. [More]
Or in the words of Emily Litella:
I guess that’s one less concern for gun-owning servicemembers to worry about, but the questions that remain are “Why the sudden big turnaround?” and “Why haven’t there been screaming headlines and demands for answers?”
The removal of Denise George comes just days after she filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase in New York and accused the company of helping Epstein finance the illegal exploitation of women and children in the U.S. Virgin Islands and beyond. Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. did not provide a reason for relieving George of her duties… [More]
You mean the Democrat governor…?
I don’t suppose powerful connections have anything to do with it…

Remember this picture the next time some lying grabber says the diktat he’s pushing will stop criminals from getting guns.

I know ad hominem attacks are a logical fallacy, but the stunning ignorance on display here, beginning with the presumption that the Bill of Rights defines what citizens “may” do, makes it OK to dismiss this writer and those oxymoronic “true liberals” swallowing his pseudointellectual bilge as fools.
It’s certainly not worth anybody’s time to try and engage in debate with them.

FBI Says Twitter Infiltration Business As Usual , Slams ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ [More]
I believe them.
It is business as usual, and by the time something is a theory, the hypotheses have been tested. to form a “plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle … to explain phenomena.”

Nice guns! Morons.
What, no apology…? Then again, it’s not like David Horsey has ever been anything but a lying propagandist for his masters.

In the meantime, returning to the leftist playbook, look for Brazilians who question the election and defy tyrannical disarmament to be attacked and marginalized as extremists, criminals, racists, and “deplorables,” just like here. And just like here, they’re picking a fight to the finish with people who are proud of their heritage, vested in freedom, and not likely to grovelingly surrender their birthrights to their moral inferiors.

History repeats itself. And in more ways than one.
