Homegrown Tyranny

U.S. Marshals in Houston, Texas, on Monday arrested True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht and board member Gregg Phillips for contempt of court in a defamation case against them after they refused a federal judge’s order to release the name of a confidential source. [More]

Before you read the whole thing, get this playing in the background.

Mixed Signals

Michigan man gets life in prison after kidnapping, sexually assaulting Lubbock teen … By law, 14-year-olds simply cannot consent to sexual contact with adults. [More]

Some would disagree.

Besides, I thought “Minor Attracted People” were another victim group discriminated against by hateful Christian Nationalists…

And what about Drag Queen Story Hour?

Besides, all the cool school boards say sexualizing children is “progressive.”

After all, aren’t puberty blockers a human right?…

Don’t you think it will be easier if we just surrender to the inevitable?

UPDATE: If it’s good enough for the military

Hoist with His Own Petard

Austin Durrer, who has worked for Crist since 2016, was arrested Tuesday in Cambridge, Maryland, on second-degree assault charges in a case classified as “domestic violence,” according to Dorchester County court records obtained by Fox News Digital. Durrer was released on $10,000 bond after his arrest, and the court ordered him to surrender firearms and vacate his home. [More]

Gee, I feel real bad for him losing his guns like that…

There’s a Lesson in Here Somewhere

Video: Felon’s Girlfriend Takes The Gun And Kills An Off-Duty Firefighter Who Protects A Female Cashier From Getting Attacked By The Perp – No Charges Filed [More]

If the firefighter been armed things could have turned out much differently, especially if the deterrent effect resolved things without a shot being fired.

Alternatively, if he’d emerged victorious, who thinks he’d just be allowed to walk?

Moving in for the Kill

Breaking: Sandy Hook Families Now Seeking $2.75 TRILLION in Addition to Billion from Alex Jones [More]

My natural sympathy has gone right out the window. Whether they’re launching this obscene attack on freedom out of greed or out of grief ceases to matter at this point, because this group of blinded tools is allowing itself to be used to undermine both speech and RKBA. Either way, they deserve to be repelled.

You’re in Good Iron Fists

Gun owners in the nation’s 10th largest city who disobey a requirement to carry liability insurance and pay a yearly fee will have to fork over up to $1,000 in fines as part of San Jose’s unique and controversial push to combat gun violence — a novel legislative approach that has triggered a challenge in federal court and has 2nd Amendment supporters up in arms. [More]

It’s not so novel– as with all “progressive” ideas, we’ve seen comparable tyrannical outrages like poll taxes and gun registration abuses before.

Licky Licardo & Co. just put a new mask on it.

Do they even have who the lucre goes to worked out yet? I want to start a pool on how many years it will take for whoever runs it to be exposed for embezzlement.

Actually, it will probably never get that far because it is so clearly unconstitutional and in violation of Bruen’s “historical understanding.” This is just protracted harassment and delaying tactics by official subversives who can spend all the plunder they want on drawn-out legal challenges and appeals, knowing that to fight it, their opponents will need to dig into limited and stretched-out financial resources.

True Feelings Revealed

‘You’re going to enjoy being a butt boy. Lube up!’ Hunter Biden’s LAWYER sent threatening texts to member of right wing group Marco Polo and faces ethics complaint for other ‘dirty tricks’ [More]

For all the outraged noise they make about LGBTQ “pride” in order to advance their political agenda, “progressives” actually think they’re objects of disgusted derision, don’t they?

A Right Deliberately Delayed

Grass Roots North Carolina, the state’s primary gun rights group, announced this morning that it is preparing a second lawsuit against Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden over continued delays in concealed handgun permits. [More]

In-your-face defiance merits an in-your-face response.

Garry’s too busy trying to make like a TV star. You gotta wonder if any homicides could have been deterred.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Qualified Enough

Do you think anyone who works for the government—not just the police—should be able to pull you over and detain you? And if a government employee who was never granted police powers assumes these powers unilaterally and clearly violates your constitutional rights, should you be able to hold them to account? Or should they be allowed to get off scot-free through “qualified immunity” merely because they work for the government? [More]

What’s the county engineer’s name?

Unlimited Potential

CNN Sounds Alarm: SCOTUS May Wipe Out Gun Control ‘Nationwide’ [More]

Only if we think of Bruen as “a good first step” and realize that we can’t take it for granted that the courts are going to save us… especially noting how Democrat strongholds, with guns to back their moves up, are deliberately thumbing their noses as they pile on new infringements.

Let the Tyranny Continue!

New York’s new gun law will remain in effect for now after a federal appeals court on Wednesday agreed to temporarily reverse a lower court’s order blocking the law’s central provisions while a legal challenge by a gun-owners’ rights group proceeds. [More]

The city knows it’s breaking the law. The court knows it’s breaking the law.

Funny, how the only people that can go to jail are the ones breaking an illegal law…

The Children’s Crusade

“Children’s Climate Trial” in U.S. Set for 2023 – The file includes stories about each plaintiff that describes how the climate crisis has impacted them personally. [More]

It can’t have anything to do with environmentalcase forestry practices, can it? And ultimately, assuming it’s lightning and not an illegal alien or a government worker with a hero complex sparking things off, isn’t Mother Earth herself to blame?

So Much for ‘Let the Punishment Fit the Crime’

Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly $1 billion to families of Sandy Hook massacre victims [More]

I’ve never particularly been a Jones enthusiast– I know Mike didn’t much care for him but I was on his program once and was happy for the opportunity. That said, what you or I think of the guy is irrelevant to this, the most absurdly disproportionate, dangerous, and un-American verdict order I have ever heard of. That it would be countenanced in a U.S. court shows how serious the power structure is to shut down forbidden speech.

How many of Jones’ “millions” of followers committed an illegal act? How many “threats” were actually sentiments? How many transitioned into actual meatspace attacks?

And as long as I dragged Mike’s name into this, he knew what it was like to be blamed for the actions of others.

Who does the Jones verdict and sentence chill and discourage? Who is turning cartwheels?

Time was the left at least pretended to be all about free speech. That’s for the benefit of the useful idiots and to accelerate social degradation — until there’s the confidence that masks can be dropped, as just happened with this order.
