Deadbeat DOJ

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:

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.

The Treason Coalition

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.

DOJ Proposal Suggests Unauthorized Use of NICS for NY Ammo Background Checks

So, if the FBI and DOJ don’t have authority to do ammunition checks, where do they get authority to allow New York State to use NICS for that purpose? [More]

Think of It as Plague Insurance

“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.

No doubt Deep State extortion and partisan DOJ corruption were at the center of this. That said, he stuck his own head in the noose. Who the hell sends money to sex partners? AG power for someone that exploitable would just tighten the grips on the strings.

The FBI says it stopped a possible terrorist attack in Houston [More]

In other words, a moron “allegedly created pro-ISIS propaganda” and his own promiscuous social media bloviating is what got him on the radar of feds who egged him on because they desperately need some headline media distractions from their own corruption and election interference complicity…

They must not have had anybody from “the greatest threat” they could set up this time.

Yay, once again saved by “our heroes”!

With all the Fani Willis corruption in Georgia, I’d expect the adults there to turn that one off too. I don’t expect New York to go gentle into that good night.

Point/Counterpoint

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?

That’s probably because, as a Trump-appointed judge, she’s a member of the “greatest threat” and he’s a supporter of the party that wants to disarm citizens so it’s easier to kidnap and kil them.

“As of today, there has been no response from you or your Department regarding the inquiry on July 12, 2024, seeking information on efforts undertaken by your Department to enforce laws prohibiting non-citizen voting.

Private Parts

Throughout the document, Smith argues that the actions Trump took to overturn the election were in his private capacity – as a candidate – rather than in his official capacity, as a president. [More]

Speaking of acting in a private capacity, how is that not what election interference apparatchik Smith is doing, and why can’t (haven’t) Republicans and SCOTUS put an immediate halt to it?
