Notes from the Resistance
Trump Jr. takes gun company public at NYSE hoping to end ‘woke’ mindset in new ‘cultural shift’ [More]
Great. I’m a big believer in 2A and capitalism (just not the connected crony public/private partnership/fascist kind). That said, you’ll forgive me for wondering if it’s all about Phase 3 for the guy.
It’s not exactly like he actually did anything when there was no money in it for him.
And speaking of money…

Found this 14 year trip on the way-back machine in a box of junk that I was getting ready to toss. The anti-gun rights groups were predicting dire consequences if concealed carry licensees who were armed but not drinking were to be able to enter businesses that served alcohol. Just like their cries that there would be “blood in the streets” when concealed carry went through seven years earlier, their hand wringing over “guns in bars” has proven to be nothing but hysterical theatrics.

How many bigoted smears and outright lies can you spot?
The article is not archived but the link redirects to Columbus Monthly, and the new incarnation is still out there spooking the “progressive” herd.
That Ryan apparently believes he had a sincere dialog suggests he also believes that Newsom was giving him return respect instead of just using him. [More]
Take on the role of useful idiot and what are people supposed to think?
Ill be joining the Round Table in Hour 3 (10 pm Eastern).
Go to the AAR website to listen/watch live/find a station near you.
Going to Chi-Town, of all places, for a memorial service for my wife’s brother. Before I do, I have an article to finish and several hours of hot weather yard work to complete.
Please hold off on email news tips since I won’t be able to get to them. If I can get to any that were submitted before this post I’ll try later today. Expect comments to be delayed.
Back Monday.
You get what you vote for. Good and hard. And some want it gooder and harder. [More]
Why are the so-called “gun safety groups” afraid to be associated with this anti-gun “Democrat”? Why not ask them?
Accidental Shooting Statistics: A Review of Unintentional Firearm Deaths from 1979-2024 [More]
I’d use “negligent,” but we know is meant.
I read how “the first six months of 2025 had 608 accidental shootings, which is lower than previous years (2015-2024)” and wondered if we ought to get David Hogg to credit more Democrats.
The New York City Police Department cannot immediately fire dozens of rookie officers, including some with criminal records, who were allegedly hired illegally by the department, a New York Supreme Court judge ruled. The NYPD said an internal investigation found the 31 officers lied about their backgrounds on applications and should be relieved of their duties, but the judge’s ruling means the department must wait until next week to take action.

What’s the problem? They seem like naturals.

San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus, who told the county supervisors she didn’t know about her department’s request to buy 10 massage chairs, actually tried to pass off the bill for the chairs to the sheriff’s bureaus in different cities to minimize scrutiny, according to an email from her HR manager…In March… Corpus purchased two soft-serve ice cream machines for employees in the county jails. In January, the Post reported that she had purchased a $74,000 conference room table. The 22-foot by 10-foot table includes 12 “cooling fans” in the legs and 10 “lockable access doors”… At a June 24 hearing, Supervisor Speier asked Corpus why she put in a request for a $600,000 TV for the headquarters conference room.

Tell us again how “critical components of the county’s budget and operations specifically associated to programs such as Public Safety… are at significant risk”…
At least they have enough resources for “gun buybacks“…
“The Democrats’ Choice,” naturally…

Jasmine Crockett claims most people vote the ‘wrong way’ due to a lack of education [More]
What, is she speaking from constituent experience…?
I’m wondering how a “real reporter” could file this story and not think to look into that. It was the first thing I thought of, but I’m #justablogger.

“When the officers are shooting him in the back, he’s not a threat. You cannot shoot civilians in the back. That’s the worst of it and most of the shots were in the back,” Pleban said. [More]

The report, ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveals that the Secret Service received classified intelligence regarding a threat to Trump’s life 10 days before the rally, but failed to share the information with other key agencies. [More]
So THAT explains ordinary people seeing the shooter before they did and not going up on that “sloped roof”…
It’s hard to believe they’re this lazy and incompetent and that no one who knows what they’re doing has taken advantage of that.

Hawai‘i Police Department (HPD) will hold two public hearings in August 2025, one in Hilo and one in Kona, regarding its proposal to repeal “Rules and Regulations of the Hawai’i Police Department Governing the Issuance of Licenses to Carry Concealed and Unconcealed Weapons” adopted October 29, 1997, and to adopt Rule 1 relating to Firearms Permits and Licenses, in its entirety, as well as adopt Rule 2 relating to Contested Cases.

So much for where to go for updates…
C’mon, guys… No one wants to take on the work of updating and growing? If this is the extent of the following and updates, how is anyone going to take you seriously?
@MayorBMScott has gotten no where near the credit he deserves for helping lead Baltimore to a record low in gun violence. He’s leading the way and there’s lots to learn from how Baltimore achieved this. [More]
What did he actually do and what’s the methodology used to determine effects? Otherwise, this is just more correlation ≠ causation BS to plant a meme in what passes for minds of the gullible.
That and the year ain’t over yet.

Instead of addressing the factors driving this violence—such as massive and uncontrolled immigration—the reaction is a grotesque distraction: proposing “trap condoms” with internal spikes designed to injure the attacker’s penis. [More]
And it didn’t work then, either.
Maybe if they combined it with anti-rape electric underwear…
I guess it doesn’t occur to pro-invader/anti-gun “progressive” women that the very act of inserting one of these obscenities is an act of self-rape performed for the dominating pleasure of their masters.
This is what they would reduce us all to.
