We’re the Only Ones Padding Enough

Iowa senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst are calling for accountability and a full review of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF’s) unlawful misclassification of administrative positions as “law enforcement.” Not only was this decades-long practice illegal, but it also burned millions of taxpayer dollars.

Padding statistics” is kind of a tradition with them.

We’re the Only Ones Elsewhere Enough

In this alleged scheme, these officers make a DWI arrest, that person then hires this particular attorney, the officers don’t show up to court, and the case is dismissed. [More]

But wait! There’s more!

Who better to enforce Michelle Lujan Grisham’s citizen disarmament tyranny?

We’re the Only Ones More or Less Enough

The FBI is reducing hiring standards to the point where it is considering overweight applicants and hiring barely literate agents, a group of current and former FBI agents and analysts allege. [More]

On the one hand, tnat makes them more dangerous.

On the other hand, that makes them less dangerous.

We’re the Only Ones Working Around Enough

“The US government should not be funding and legitimizing a shady industry whose flagrant violations of Americans’ privacy are not just unethical but illegal,” Wyden said in a letter to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines. “To that end, I request that you adopt a policy that, going forward,” intelligence agencies “may only purchase data about Americans that meets the standard for legal data sales established by the FTC.” [More]

“Request”…?

In a world where it didn’t mean arresting themselves, the “official” criminals participating in this conspiracy to deprive citizens of rights under color of authority would be behind bars…

Through a Glass, Darkly

Murphy has filed a lawsuit against Sunglass Hut’s parent company after a store’s facial recognition program falsely identified him as a robber. As a result, he was arrested and jailed, which led to him being sexually assaulted. [More]

How is it the state can assume custodial control of someone but not assume a duty to protect with attendant liability — and no qualified immunity?

We’re the Only Ones Cooling Enough

As Duprey made his escape, Duran grabbed someone’s cooler off a nearby table and threw it at the fleeing suspect, hitting him in the head and throwing him off balance, James’ office said in a statement. Duprey sideswiped a tree before he was hurled from the scooter and banged his head on the curb, ultimately landing under a parked vehicle, the attorney general said. [More]

When an ICE detainer isn’t appropriate, you can always use an ice container…

We’re the Only Ones After the Fact Enough

Beginning Feb. 13, 2024, any person who lives with a minor or those who know reasonably that a minor will come into their home must store their firearms safely. [More]

There’s no way to enforce this, of course, except after the fact, and the potential that something might happen is hardly a deterrent to people whose entire life history seems based on bad decisions. Case in point:

The parents of a 5-year-old boy who fatally shot himself with an unsecured gun over the weekend have been charged, officials announced. [More]

If it hadn’t been a gun it could have been anything with morons like this:

…five children were left unsupervised in the house at the time of the shooting, including an 8-year-old, two 7-year-olds, a 4-year-old and the 5-year-old who shot himself.

And now we have a leading “commonsense gun safety law” spokesman!

Hey… any chance we could sue the manufacturer…?

We’re the Only Ones Triggered Enough

On-duty cop accidentally fired his gun outside Lori Lightfoot’s home: Chicago police [More]

And not just an “on duty cop.” A “veteran Chicago police officer”!

I see “The officer remains on active duty because the firearm discharge was accidental.”

So he’s keeping his gun.

Funny… if you or I had done that, not only would our names be publicized, the only way we’d be out is if we made bail. And you’d better believe there’d be a court order to surrender all weapons.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.
