Notes from the Resistance
Removal of the Confederate Memorial… On August 4, 2023, a Notice of Intent (NOI) was published in the Federal Register initiating a 30-day public scoping period, during which the Army will solicit comments on the proposed action. [More]
I don’t suppose digging up Teddy and placing it there is an option…?

Bowe Bergdahl’s conviction vacated by federal judge [More]
The disclosure issue is BS. Every judge out there has partisan preferences, as does every federal employee, including (and especially) Reggie Walton. I guess traitor’s gotta stick together.
He’s the same robed subversive (and Bush appointee, by the way) who understood full well that individuals were dying in D.C. but nonetheless declared the Second Amendment to be a “collective right.”
Last night, the House voted on the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, which passed 228-206. [More]
Guess who the lone Republican “Noe” came from.
As long as there’s a Democrat Senate and President, this bill’s going nowhere. Still, it may be useful to clue in voting veterans who aren’t kneejerk Democrats.

“This is hilarious. The boss of Raytheon, one of the US top weapons manufacturers, says the company has ‘several thousand suppliers in China and decoupling . . . is impossible.’” [More]

“Having a US military background is the single-strongest individual-level predictor of whether a subject . . . is classified as a mass casualty offender,” the study by Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) said. [More]
What it doesn’t say is what commonalities offenders share before enlisting. It also presupposes risks are evenly distributed rather than concentrated into observable subsets.

A recruiter for the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force referred to white men looking to join the air force as “useless white male pilots,” according to emails obtained by several British media outlets. [More]
