Notes from the Resistance
In an executive order signed Monday evening, Trump has directed his own government to investigate the agency for its misconduct in the aftermath of the January 6th events. [More]
Can the FBI be far behind?
Democrat gaslighters are the ones sputtering in overwhelm overload for a change. But the ones who really have to be disoriented are establishment Republicans who’ve always been afraid of playing hardball.

And here’s the punch:
Dems gotta be stunned…
I’d say things got significantly more dangerous for Trump, especially if it uncovers suppressed evidence leading to why the J6ers believed all those claims we’ve been assured were “baseless.”

First, we neeed to realistically look at what he CAN do. Then we need to realistically look at what he WILL do and use every means at our disposal to get his ear and try to keep him on course.

With ‘the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House’ to return, gun-safety groups eye state level actions [More]
Everybody remembers the Benjamin Martin quote, right?
Which is exactly why this needs to be a priority:
Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.
If it’s not, we’ll know our best friend conned us and our “gun rights leaders” never asked him for it.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney who led prosecutions of over 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants is set to step down before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20, 2025. [More]

It reminds me of the DOJ snot who coined the term me ‘n the boys proudly embrace:
In short, there is a tangled web of connections between a small cadre of firearms activists and their efforts to recover fees through largely unsuccessful FOIA litigation.
Yeah, that’s why we do it.
It also brings up a suggestion I’ve been making of late:

While the lawsuit was only brought by New Jersey and Minnesota, the “larger coalition that will be working together includes 16 states in total,” the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said to Newsweek. These states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as Washington, D.C. [More]
As long as the Supreme Court lets them get away with infringements, it will only get worse.
Until the Justice Department steps up and defends all civil rights from state denials, the only “legal” defense will be what the gun groups can scrape up from the same overburdened donors. I’m afraid Pam Bondi has established a record of being more the type that defends employer infringements. My guess is Trump is more interested in what she can do to squash bugs like Bragg.

“Mr. Labarge’s terror campaign sent ripples of fear throughout the journalism community and violated the bedrock principles enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Our office remains steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding the rights of journalists to report without fear of retribution and to put behind bars those who try to silence the media through threats and violence,” Levy said. [More]
The DOJ suddenly finding it in its self-interest to virtue signal about the Bill of Rights notwithstanding, Levy knows the First Amendment is a restraint on government, and that’s reflected in the actual charges that didn’t mention it:
…conspiracy to commit stalking through interstate travel and using a facility of interstate commerce… conspiracy to commit stalking using a facility of interstate commerce… stalking using a facility of interstate commerce and aiding and abetting… stalking through interstate travel and aiding and abetting.
Sudden interest in rights is the DOJ careerists’ equivalent of painting lamb’s blood on the door frame so the wrath of Trump passes over them. I do wonder, though, if the same amount of energy would have been spent on “just a blogger” as on “real reporters.”
Still, it’s analagous to more ways a proactive AG could protect the Second Amendment from state and municpal infringements… if she was instructed to.

Last night, I was given a statement from the victim of Tim Walz to release this morning. [More]
Vs.
Anyone blindly believing this, is retarded. [More]
I agree.
What about people who blindly discourage investigating such a serious criminal accusation leveled against a powerful politician?
It’s no secret I could not be more against Walz. I think if he and Kamala are elected it’s an existential threat to peaceable means of redress for Second Amendment advocates. With that being said, I thought Community Notes existed for just such posts as these.
I understand not dignifying a “Have you stopped beating your wife?” loaded question and helping draw attention to it. Still, this has the potential to impact election results, and if I don’t object to them doing this to Walz I can’t object to them doing this to anyone, including me.
As a proponent of “Red Flag Laws,” Walz is all for you and me having to prove OUR innocence if accused of something the government will disarm us over without being convicted of anything. But that still doesn’t make it right for anyone to demand he prove HIS innocence: The burden of proving guilt is on the state.
FEC and DOJ should be the ones investigating this. If it turns out to be a malicious lie being spread in an attempt at election interference, that’s prosecutable, especially if more than one person is involved. So is if the accusations turn out to have substance.
If you see something say something, right?
