Repurposing an Old Meme

Remember this?

Even though I had profound differences with the guy, in this I feel we are together. Because of this:

Knowing the assassination is being exploited to further citizen disarmament by control freaks who have adopted Antifa’s “Bash the fash” ravings, I guess I’ll once more modify the meme:

Republicans had better hope the assassin is caught, especially after Kash Patel announced they had a suspect– only to see him released. And especially when all they have is this:

We’re analyzing it. But it is security camera footage, so you can kind of guess what the quality of that is,” he added. “But we do know, dressed in all dark clothing. But we don’t have a much better description other than that.”

If they don’t change that soon, look for conspiracy theories from the left accusing Republicans of being behind it to gin up a wave of hate against Democrats before the midterms. You don’t think they will?

The government also had no problem rounding up J6ers from surveillance and facial recognition tech. As long as we’re going with conspiracies, consider the push for Palantir and the public demand for a security bill of goods they’ve been sold in the wake of an existential threat. Everybody remember how the “Patriot” Act breezed through with “bipartisan” enthusiasm, and what day it is today?

Charlie Kirk Assassinated

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, fatally shot at university event [More]

Knowing the rage-filled, crazed hatred his appearances would inevitably result in, I had warned against holding such events without taking adequate precautions while knowing police would stand by and do nothing to prevent it.

Expect social media celebration by evil and cowardly leftists.

MSNBC has begun the instigation.

All of us who speak out need to be aware that plenty want it to happen to us.

“Culture war” means what it implies.

A little late, don’t you think?

‘Likely’?

FPC LEGAL ALERT: The Third Circuit has ruled that New Jersey’s bans on carrying in private vehicles and on private property by default, along with the state’s liability insurance requirement for carry permits and $50 carry permit fee for “the Victims of Crime Compensation Office account” likely violate the Second Amendment [More]

What was their first clue…?

Connect the Dots

The Supreme Court ruled the Trump Administration can continue operations in Los Angeles to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens from the streets [More]

So… elections have judicial consequences…?

And this actually does affect the “single issue”?

Go ahead, Democrats. Rebel not just against Trump but the Supreme Court.

Wren Collectivists

A consulting firm funded by left-wing billionaires has embedded itself in the offices of 40 progressive prosecutors, where it has quietly helped to craft soft-on-crime policies that now affect 48 million Americans across 22 states. Known as the Wren Collective, the firm provides its services to the prosecutors for free and with no expectation of publicity, according to a new report by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF).

Those who do not learn from history:

Most Russian elites did not support the Bolsheviks; those who did, or allied with them during the revolution, faced severe consequences. Many were executed during the Red Terror or later purged by Stalin, while others survived by concealing their origins or fleeing the country.

It will repeat itself.

Taking the 5th

Boston firefighter faces over 40 charges after failing to turn over firearms following a restraining order [More]

Of interest from the video:

He initially lied about having weapons, but his defense attorney explains those firearms weren’t registered. He hadn’t done them on time.

So if he’d complied with the order and produced the guns, that would have been self-incriminating.

Didn’t the Supreme Court already weigh in on that?

Anybody know who is his attorney is, and if he knows about this?

Ah, here we go.

All we can do is offer:

And There Was War in Heaven

The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) today announced it has issued a subpoena to @Magpul , demanding the release of civilian sales data on standard-capacity magazines after the company refused to cooperate voluntarily for over a year. [More]

Where did the press release go, and why?

We’re the Only Ones Weaker Enough

Two female police officers vs a short maybe 130lb male. Who wins? [More]

And thing is, he didn’t want to hurt them– the ingrained conditioning against hitting a woman still holds in those of us who aren’t savages. If he’d been actually fighting using punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and fought like you would against a man, they’d have had to shoot him, which ought to be a lesson in itself.

And here I’d expected any one of them to be able to do a three-point landing and take out half-a-dozen linebackers…

It’s almost like TV and movies tell us one thing and reality tells us another

Tales of the Expected

Well the 2A movement won’t get good originalist judges without voting, and it won’t get good 2A lawyers without working with and funding pro 2A groups. [More]

The argument that wining elections isn’t needed and that Trump and the courts will save us so we can rest assured the 2A is in no danger is an excuse that doesn’t hold against even minimal scrutiny. It’s also an abdication of self government and of having a hand in saving ourselves.

If someone from on high provides it to you, they own you.

As for the TINVOWOOT crowd, if you’re not willing to use the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders to do the easy things, I question how effective and organized you’ll be if the things we can still take for granted get existential and deadly.

Still, I fully expected most to not give a damn and the ones who do weigh in to justify lack of action with excuses. Call it the curse of Cassandra or attribute it to an inflated ego. That doesn’t alter a basic truth– if you don’t put work into something, don’t expect it to give you what you want.

We’re the Only Ones Hotdogging Enough

‘Handsome’ Hawaiian police dog dies after being left in hot car by handler… “The K9 handler involved in this case is devastated as you would expect,” Mahuna said. [More]

“Devastated”?

Not “fired”?

Not “arrested and prosecuted,” as would happen to any one of us if we killed a K9 in self-defense, and in a much quicker and more humane way?

It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.

This take on the story seems more accurate than the “news” headline.

And So It Begins

Democrat Walkinshaw wins special congressional election where Trump loomed large – Democrat wins Virginia special election seat after voters ‘send a statement’ on Trump policies [More]

Ready to see that happen again and again?

Yeah, but it was a Democrat district.

Making excuses and doing nothing else will ensure more Democrat districts.
