From the Department of Retroactive Crime

“The current president should not be able to waive the executive privilege of a predecessor, without the consent of the former president. Otherwise, [privilege] means nothing. What president will ever discuss anything in private if he knows the man who beat him can and will disclose it.” [More]

Like Precrime, only with hindsight!

The Embarrassment-in-Chief

The president isn’t featured in ads. He goes largely unnamed on campaign websites and Twitter accounts. And candidates in key races in battleground states are either not asking him to come — or avoiding him when he does. [More]

The power players, through their media mouthpieces, are signaling loud and clear that he had better step aside for 2024. If “friendly” persuasion doesn’t work, they’ll drop some not-so-subtle extortion reminders about legal vulnerabilities, starting with Hunter.

Gun-Owning Useful Idiot Beto Supporter Finalists

Which is why all the “gun pundits” celebrating “diversity” without factoring in voting patterns are fooling themselves and their followers. If owning a gun was all it took, we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.

And speaking of idiots…

Standing Orders

“A document that is classified in Washington, DC, is unclassified in Florida — one could say such a thing, but it is nonsensical,” he said. “And it calls into question the good faith of anyone who would make such a claim.” [More]

Now replace “document” with “right” and “classified” with “protected.” And switch locales to “Chicago” and “Cheyenne.”

I don’t know about White House documents, but it sure seems as far as an armed citizenry goes, all government officials swearing an oath to uphold “the supreme Law of the Land” have had their standing orders for centuries.

They’ve Got Theirs

Asian Americans are buying guns in record numbers. [More]

Yeah, well, how come they keep electing Democrats by landslide margins?

Until that changes, I’m not impressed. And names like “LA Progressive Shooters” don’t convince me that it will. Meaning all this giddy celebration by some “pro-gun” voices is naive.

Besides, you know who else is buying guns in record numbers? If gun ownership was the benchmark, we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.

Who will Judge the Judges?

Stop Houston Murders, a political action committee formed in Houston, Texas, to take on “soft-on-crime Democrat judges,” seeks to call attention to the skyrocketing violent crime and murder rate in the city and the judges who facilitate a criminal catch-and-release program. [More]

There needs to be a one-stop website rating the political inclinations of all judges who run for office.  Ballotpedia is about as close as I’ve found, but I’m talking one with issues ratings and who backs them, etc.

Anybody know of one?
