Notes from the Resistance

We’ve been DOGE-ing in Oklahoma before it was cool. Our department of mental health just sent an agency wide memo banning pronouns in email signatures. Five employees resigned on the spot— sayonara! [More]
You’ve also been dodging your responsibility to the Constitution and to your citizens. And then you hedged your bet.
And news flash: Technically, they’re ALL criminals.
What a straddler this guy is.

As we near the half-way point of the 2025 New Mexico Legislative Session, here is a recap of last week and what to expect this week. [More]
Unfortunately, it’s a year-round job for gun owners to protect their rights. If you’re a New Mexico gun owner, check the link to see what to expect in the coming weeks, and then click here to join the defense.
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act Jurisdiction Act, which protects law-abiding American firearm manufacturers and sellers by creating an independent basis for removing frivolous lawsuits against them to federal court, especially those predicated on illegal use of their products by unrelated third parties. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced the House version of the bill. [More]
That’s because “because the PLCAA does not contain an independent basis for removal to federal court, state courts must look to the federal question jurisdiction statute (28 U.S.C. 1331) triggering the ‘well-pled complaint rule.’”
Clear?
Clearer than “shall not be f—–g infringed”?
I can’t find a prognosis yet, so let’s just assume “Not bloody likely.”

Despite the widespread speculation, here’s what we actually know:
A private criminal complaint was filed against Shapiro. The Butler County District Attorney disapproved the complaint. There is no official confirmation of any criminal charges or federal investigation. Social media claims of a cover-up remain unverified. [More]
For what it’s worth, he’s a Democrat…
That said, I join in cautioning not to leap to any illusions. Just from a making sense standpoint, it doesn’t.
And that said, boy, wouldn’t it be rich?

For the permanent bureaucracy, this wasn’t just change. It was an extinction-level event. [More]
No wonder political dinosaurs are bellowing and screaming in rage, confusion, and terror.
Let’s hope this isn’t wishful thinking hyperbole. I have a tough time viewing those with near absolute power as being my leaders in revolution restoration.

Under current law, New York’s governor has 10 days to declare a special election for a vacant seat and an additional 80 to 90 days to hold the election. Stefanik’s seat is key for the Republican Party and Trump’s second administration, as Republicans hold a slim majority at 218 members to the Democrats’ 215 members. [More]
So why does Trump think it’s more important to have a UN ambassador?

“With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender.” [More]
So, does that explain it?

Just here for the ratioing… [More]
I can’t say I’ll be sorry to see those names go. That said, it’s legitimate to concern ourselves with who she intends to replace them with, especially considering her past and continued support of rabid (and influential) gun-grabbers.

He promised ““Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” but since taking office has not done anything about it.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he was afraid there will be “more violence” as a result of President Donald Trump’s January 6 pardons. [More]
Yeah, but like with Ashli Babbitt, who’s it coming from?
That’s great, Lindsey. Media and Senate Democrats will like you now, right?

Speaker Dustin Burrows confirmed on Monday that the newly adopted Texas House rules, which grant increased power to Democrats, were authored by Democrat lawyer Hugh Brady. [More]
How do Texas Republicans allow this to happen?
