Our Diversity is Their Strength

Democratic socialist and Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, a Somali American, is being knocked for holding a political rally in a foreign language that appeared entirely devoid of any American flags. [More]

So… occupied territory…?

So of course they want to disarm the displaced. It’s what conquerors do.

Are you sleeping?

GOA wins one.

Note Mr. Stamboulieh was instrumental.

Now we wait and see if it’s appealed. I’m told they have 30 days from the order.

He’s fighting for us on this, too.

We’re the Only Ones Searching Enough

Prosecutors said Odom used law enforcement databases to find information about seven people, including his wife, romantic partners, relatives of his romantic partners, a hotel employee and a woman who worked in his office building, without any legitimate law enforcement reason. [More]

There’s not one who wouldn’t arrest us if they knew we possessed a forbidden and/or unregistered arm, so, yeah… remember that every time some supposed Second Amendment supporter says “Enforce existing gun laws.”

I’ve actually had California Prags tell me if I don’t like the law to work to elect reps who will change it.

Why Can’t Laura Loomer Own A Gun? I Asked Her Father Jeff, And The FBI [More]

Not taking sides here, just saying this is out there and needs to be factored into credibility assessments. If true, careful relying on her judgments. If untrue, it would seem a massive libel suit is in order.

I’ve never been one for following personalities anyway, regardless of what they profess. Just like ad hominem attacks, it’s a logical fallacy to go the other way, and disappointment in finding feet of clay can be destructive to more than just the icon outed.

Case in point…the principles of Oath Keepers are still valid and needed regardless of what anyone chooses to believe about its founder.

Nuts and Boltons

This has nothing to do with guns and nothing to do with the raid except to note one of the photos and ask if a former National Security Advisor with contacts in the highest levels of government really keeps the rain out of his house with duct tape… ? [More]

I’m also thinking, with the street number unblurred, if the intent here is to dox the guy, which, considering who he is and the real enemies his positions have made, could very easily have lethal consequences.

Florida’s GOP State Attorney Bakkedahl Cites Anti-2A Everytown to Defend Infringements

These offensive “justifications” being argued by Florida Republicans sound like the kind of polemics to be expected from rabid Moms Demand Action zealots and ranting Democrat demagogues.

With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
