Notes from the Resistance
“Here’s my thing: Recidivism is not up.” [More]
Except it is. By a lot. And that’s just the ones arrested.
I wonder how many belong to the Greatest Threat…
And I don’t suppose anyone is interested in finding out what percentage of/how many engaging in “prison sexual abuse” come from Republican families…
I can’t help but notice Juanita’s wearing as many stars as Patton did during the Battle of the Bulge…
My objective is to remind the UK that the Battle of Yorktown had political consequences, as they seem to have forgotten. [More]
The Office of Communication has threatened to fine 4chan, a U.S. company, for tyrannical censorship laws violations.
Sounds like a Streisand effect opportunity to me…

Shall we keep drilling down?
Yet to hear lying Democrats tell it, it’s because Republicans are sellouts to the “gun lobby.”

I’m sure there will be no shortage of indignant useful idiots who scream for reparations, subsidized housing, and the white privileged “paying their fair share,” and don’t think this moron is rich enough.
Marxist gaslighting knows no bounds.
DHS Slams Hochul Over Secret Pardon of Convicted Killer – “Rather than putting New Yorkers first, you’re protecting a criminal illegal alien KILLER with a rap sheet including convictions for manslaughter and criminal possession of a firearm.” [More]
Anybody else feeling the cognitive dissonance…?
Police searching for multiple shooters who killed 3 and wounded 9 after dispute at a Brooklyn lounge overnight [More]
That’s what happens when you disrespect someone entitled to your fear.
Brooklyn’s Crown Heights … isn’t that Yvette D. Clarke’s district?
If not, let the demands for YOUR guns begin! Funny– they limit replies to their X posts– so much for “Giffords Courage.”

July background checks below 1M for the first time in six years. [More]
What did sales really tell us, anyway?

This week in Washington, D.C., a federal judge made a ruling so shocking, so unprecedented, that it flips the First Amendment on its head. Judge Trevor N. McFadden declared that the Israeli flag — with the Star of David at its center — is not a political symbol at all, but a racial one. [More]
But have at Old Glory…
And what happened to “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion…”?
I like how that last link contained the words “racism” and fascism,” words appearing nowhere in the text of the “report,” showing us exactly what “real reporter” Vasili Varlamos and KATU 2 ABC are all about.
What, the willfully obtuse may ask, does any of this have to do with that “single issue”?

Should I accept or decline her offer? [More]
Well, since you asked, yes, but with caveats.
I wouldn’t go in with attitude if I wanted to get something done or maintain contact. I also wouldn’t go with a list of all grievances. If you can get one or two resolved, that would be “a good first step” and open a door for further interaction. I’d also let her know of my intent to share the basics of our conversation with other RKBA advocates.
I’d pick something where an unequivocal resolution is doable, and have a printed handout of my question/concern, with my contact information, to give her to back up our conversation, for instance:
As an activist member, I’m concerned with how hard it is to reach individual directors. Why can’t NRA post a form on its website allowing us to contact and communicate with one, more, or all of the directors? For that matter, why not make inclusion in an @NRA.org email address directory a requirement for all officers directors?
Or…
I keep seeing the Executive Vice President also referred to as CEO in official Association statements and documents, yet the Bylaws establish all authorized titles and specifically declares, ““The Board may not abolish said offices nor create any other offices.” What is the authority to not comply with that restriction?
Or just hand her this article and tell her you would like a formal written answer to the questions raised, and ask what she thinks a reasonable response time would be.
I’d then thank her for taking the time to meet with me and hear me out, shake hands, document and share the experience, and give an after action report to readers, following up as responses were given or commitments missed, sending her a link to all mentions and inviting her to respond to those.
Bush family political dynasty may be eyeing a comeback in 2026 governor’s race in Maine – Jonathan Bush positions himself as a moderate Republican in state that leans left but prizes independent streak [More]
Moderate Republican = Democrat useful idiot.
Always good to end the week on a high note…
Dozens of ATF Agents Descend on DC Neighborhoods as Part of Trump Takeover [More]
I don’t suppose they’ll be charged with what they do with the guns so much as just having them, so before cheering this on, “send not for whom the bell tolls…”
“No law-abiding citizen should have to wait months before he or she can register their firearms, or obtain a concealed carry permit”… [More]
No citizen should be required to do either.
I really get tired of being a critic. I wish our “leaders” would give me less to criticize.
If anyone wants to give a lecture on increments, you’ve got the whole rest of the internet to do it at.
Violence is hitting Ohio’s county fairs, and state law protects guns over fairgoers [More]
It would help if they told us which laws the violent would obey, and how making the peaceable more vulnerable to their predation would do anything but make it worse.
But, like typical statists, their answer is to disempower the individual and give more to the controllers, and call for more when that predictably doesn’t do anything but put free men in restraints.
You don’t hate “authorized journalists” enough.

Searching for Meaning at the Thunder Ranch Gun School [More]
If you’re lost you can’t find yourself in secondary pursuits and need to address your core issues first? Who knew?
I’m searching for a point to this article and wondering why Thunder Ranch gave the anti-gun New York Times access, and if I can get my minutes wasted reading it back…
