Notes from the Resistance
Silicon Valley’s quest to live forever…A recent survey … found that wealthier Americans — who made over $250,00 a year — were willing to go to extreme lengths to live longer. [More]
That’s not all the rope-selling capitalists go to extreme lengths over.
As long as they insist on being as woke as they are rich, why not press to find out if black and brown populations are underrepresented in full-body MRIs? I mean, as long as health care is a right…
Too bad people who are not journalists think ‘the First Amendment applies to them’ [More]
“Authorized journalists”…? Who ever heard of such a thing?
What can I say but “Joe Scarborough“?
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.

The Constitution was never intended to usher in a pure democracy. In fact, its two most fundamental concerns were to create a central government stronger than that which had existed under the Articles of Confederation and, at the same time, to protect individual, God-given rights of — among others — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from the potential for tyranny in this new, stronger central government. [More]
So you can’t vote away the right of the people to keep and bear arms?

The Break Down of The First Known ATF FRT Confiscation [More]
I continue to shake my head at the number of gun owners who don’t grok the basics. And I’m not surprised that they rolled on the next guy.
That said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge ATF Special Agent Chuck Donahoe until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.

“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.
House Passes Bill Declaring Right to Contraception [More]
So rights come from government?
Does anybody see any delegated authority to any branch of government to insert itself in this?
And do these people read their own website?
This is why the Federalists thought a Bill of Rights was “dangerous and unnecessary.”
[Via Mack H]
[C]onstitutional thinking has evolved since 1787. Today, most new constitutions include far more enumerated rights than ours, notes David Law. The right to education, for instance, and to privacy, food, healthcare and housing. [More]
You know, the right to enslave and force others to provide.
I just got done talking about government “giving” rights…
Funny how that keeps ending up…
What can I say but The Los Angeles Times…?

Why the Second Amendment Applies Especially to Travelers [More]
Good stuff. I’m surprised this was left out:
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
And yeah, I’m hip to “give.”
Unfortunately for them, there’s nothing in the Constitution about a right to dance naked in strip clubs, contraception, marriage or sticking a fork in a baby’s head. [More]
Except for that last bit which introduces a whole ‘nother set of issues, it seems like she still hasn’t learned that it’s not the function of the Constitution to define all rights.

Democrats unveiling ‘Transgender Bill of Rights’ [More]
So those are things granted by government? Not “endowed by our Creator”? I guess not if what you worship is an all-powerful and omniscient government…
But what do I know, being both “a Trojan Horse” and an “idiot clown”?
Supreme Court rules out suing police for Miranda violations [More]
Maybe it’s just me, but I always figured if you were dumb enough to admit anything to the police you deserved the same sympathy as the lunatic who climbs into the hyena enclosure at the zoo.
The thought of a proven sexual predator being able to sue the productive sector (yeah, it’s not “the police” who will pay) because he didn’t know ratting yourself out would hurt is not something the Founders ever contemplated.
