Devil’s Benefits

An MS-13 gang member convicted in a savage execution-style murder is out of federal custody in California after a federal judge ordered his immediate release, igniting fury from the Trump administration. U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta ordered the release of David Antonio Aviles Perez, 35, aka “the witch,” after finding that immigration officials held him for five months without giving him a bond hearing or determining whether he posed a danger to the public or a flight risk.

From the “We hold these truths to be self evident” file: He checks both boxes off that last bit, and I note they’re both couched as “or,” not “and.” As for the first bit, we do want to make sure the government dots i’s and crosses t’s, but that said, the immigrant judge has made it clear which side her “discretion” lands her on.

Oh, look: Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski broke with the Rs and voted to confirm her.

We’re the Only Ones Foreign Enough

After a week of ICE raids, the Democrat-dominated City Council of Danbury, Connecticut, voted nearly unanimously to approve non-citizen legal residents serving as police officers. [More]

So foreign nationals, who can’t credibly comply with the requirement to swear an oath to the Constitution of a country they owe o formal allegiance to, are being empowered to disarm American citizens on U.S. soil.

In a “state” that bans militia suitable arms.

With police officers like this, who needs blue helmets?

When you consider the “necessary to the security of a free State” intent, this is an act of treason. I know if I were on a jury I’d acquit a patriot defending himself against one of these trying to disarm him.

Talking at Cross Purposes

Acton refuses to engage with Ramaswamy as Ohio debates decline… Libertarian Don Kissick and running mate James Mills said they feel left out of the conversation. [More]

Yeah, well, we see what happens when she argues

As for the “clear lawful path to citizenship” freaks, I’ll debate you .

Answer this clearly, without changing the subject and equivocating.

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

So, we’re importing millions of Democrat voters and in the process making cities like New York less and less livable. [Watch]

Don’t tell me.

Tell Ranjit, Stephen, Kostas and Hannah.

And Cam.

Anyone making the “assimilation” excuse about people immersed in this environment is either a fool or a liar.

I’m Starting to Think Franco May Have Been On to Something…

The Spanish police have opened fire on crowds in Ceuta tonight. They are shooting rubber bullets. They are shooting at Spaniards protesting against illegal migration. They didn’t fire rubber bullets at the 70 000 illegal migrants when they stormed Ceuta in July. [More]

Makes me think of a different way of running things:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Only one problem

Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me

450px Look At Me, I'm The Captain NowA tanker was ‌boarded by six armed people who took control ​of the vessel ​and diverted it towards Somalia … UKMTO provided no ​further details and ​did ⁠not say whether the tanker or its ⁠crew ​were safe. [More]

The following is from “A Pirate’s Life for Me!,” one of my GUNS & AMMO columns from 2002:

Hoses against weapons. Trembling behind hatches. Everything but standing up on your sea-legs and fighting. How about just opening fire on them?

The IMO’s Captain Hartmut Hesse says armed guards on ships “will only increase violence, it will not deter the pirates.”

The IMO guide Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships, cautions “The carrying and use of firearms … is strongly discouraged. [It] may encourage attackers to carry firearms thereby escalating an already dangerous situation, and any firearms on board may themselves become an attractive target for an attacker. The use of firearms requires special training and aptitudes and the risk of accidents… is great.”

…Agreeing with Captain Hesse, and chastising Lloyd’s List for editorially suggesting otherwise, is Captain John Dalby of Marine Risk Management, a “maritime asset recovery and protection” company. While admitting “It is the sailors… who are being kidnaped, beached, set adrift … or summarily killed,” he warns that “only tragedy will result from inexperienced people trying to fight fire with fire. Leave intervention and reaction to those who are best equipped and trained for it.”

The thought strikes: Minnesota doesn’t have nearly enough of these types. And they’ll all vote Democrat.

Har!

We’re the Only Ones Evicted Enough

San Diego County will stop letting federal immigration agents train at local firing ranges [More]

Remember when San Diego used to be Republican?

Remember when California was?

What changed?

2001…?

This “one or two generations” mantra the gunfluencers are feeding us is going the wrong way!

What the ‘Gunfluencers’ Refuse to Admit

We are losing Texas. Unconstrained immigration has introduced cultures that have no intention of assimilating to become Americans. Political Islam is on the march, undeterred by federal, state, or local action. [More]

Don’t tell me.

Tell Ranjit, Stephen, Kostas, Hannah, and Cam.

Tell self-blinded gun owners who agree with them on this without ever taking the challenge.

Yearning to Breathe Free Stuff

(21:38) Large numbers of these people that have come into our country over the last 30 years from other places in the world other than Europe are only here to consume. In other words, they’re here to acquire wealth and consume it. They didn’t come here to become Americans because they don’t know what it means to be an American… (30:26) We know from experience that when a
society can’t assimilate it usually destroys or the entity that refuses to be assimilated destroys the society. [Watch]

Alternatively, you could believe in “gun influencer” exceptions being the rule.

Islamic Foot-Washing Stations Planned for Dallas Airport – The project is meant to prevent Muslim travelers from washing their feet in public sinks before prayer. [More]

I guess expecting foreigners to adhere to our cultural norms is intolerant.

What happens if we go over there and violate theirs?

Hey, just give ’em a generation or two to “assimilate”…

UPDATE

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday directed a review of state grants to entities operating two major Texas airports over religious accommodations after Dallas Fort Worth International Airport said it would no longer move forward with a proposal to install Islamic washing stations. [More]

So… they’ll still be allowed to wash feet in sinks…?
