Notes from the Resistance
I went to HS 45 years ago. We didn’t have gun clubs or shooting ranges…because it was a school. AR-15’s didn’t exist back then either. Nor did 9mm semiautomatic pistols. Nor did hollow point rounds. [More]
Four lies in a row. Why should we believe he’s not fraudulently using the “Vet” handle to establish false authority with his moron followers?

Why?
Seems kind of un-American to me…

Today, we remember and honor the life and service of Special Agents Conway LeBleu, Todd McKeehan, Robert Williams and Steven Willis, who were killed attempting to execute warrants at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993. [More]
To put it mildly, comments are not supportive.

The Left invented a “Day of Hate” to condemn it [More]
But the lack of participation hasn’t stopped the vindictive hive minds from extending their Two Minutes Hate to continual on social media…
If there’s a special day when the rest of us are allowed to do it, I know I completely missed it.
What day’s it supposed to be so I can mark my calendar for next year? And if nobody’s come up with a representative graphic for it yet, I have a suggestion.

YouTube Censorship Of Suppressor Content & Wholesale Deletion of Creators [More]
Well, it’s not like the CEO came here for the liberty…
While it’s understandable and necessary to endorse uncensored alternatives like Rumble, the fact remains that I have accounts on Truth Social, Gab, and MeWe and don’t get anywhere near the admittedly limited exposure I get on Facebook and Twitter.

FBI Says Twitter Infiltration Business As Usual , Slams ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ [More]
I believe them.
It is business as usual, and by the time something is a theory, the hypotheses have been tested. to form a “plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle … to explain phenomena.”

I know I said I was only going to use the blog to promote my articles until the new year, but this just came up and needs to be addressed.
If you’re on Facebook and received one of these “friend requests,” it didn’t come from me. As I’ve repeatedly said in the past, I don’t send “social media” requests, because I only use it as advocacy media to share links to my work and that would make me no better than a spammer, so I wait for people to approach me first.
Whoever it is has stolen my real profile avatar (and made some additions I can’t quite figure out the significance of) and the link goes to an account at this url:
The url to MY account is: https://www.facebook.com/david.codrea
I don’t know who this other person is and if he’s a leftist agenda-driven saboteur or just an @$$hole fraudster, but one thing you can bet on by this false representation is that his intentions are not good.
If you get a “friend request” from “me,” you didn’t. Report it. I intend to.
And if you have the skills to try and find out who’s behind this (I do not), feel free. I opened up the source code on the avatar thinking that might tell me something, but quickly figured I was in over my head and got lost.
And to anyone who feels inclined to just say “don’t go on social media,” it’s you who’s limiting what weapons you’ll pick up and use, not me.

UPDATES
Crack Facebook moderators quick to pass “community standards” judgment on me for wishing readers “a contemplative Bill of Rights Day” assure me they’ll look into if impersonating me to sucker in victims rises to that level of offense:
Looks like they got it right:
And in a related/unrelated(?) development, WordFence warns me this site is under a concentrated attack:
I’ll let Dr. Evil field this one.
By publicly pressuring Musk to censor “hate speech,” which is indisputably covered by the First Amendment, Schiff and Takano are trying to indirectly accomplish something that the Constitution forbids. [More]
Well, it also says “shall not be infringed, but that’s never stopped either of these @$$holes.
Musk’s Neuralink faces federal probe, employee backlash over animal tests [More]
The obvious intent here is to destroy the man for allowing unapproved speech and to divert the conversation away from Hunter.
So naturally, leave it to The French Mistake to take point for the left-enabling Vichycons and “not understand” collusion and marching orders.
Michael Steele says Musk doing Twitter Files while arguing for free speech undermines ‘central tenets’ of … free speech [More]
This is what happens when the Vichycons so desperately want a minority face to hide behind and deflect racism smears by the commies that they pick a damn Democrat-at-heart.

Oops, our bad? And that’s it?
At least he didn’t say it was an “accident”…

“In my view, Twitter now is jumping to the front of the queue of the regulators,” Věra Jourová, the European Commission’s vice president for values and transparency, told POLITICO. [More]
And here Kurt Vonnegut thought he’d pushed the edge of the absurdity envelope with Diana Moon Glampers…
Funny, what happened to all those “progressives” who used to smirk at canceled “conservatives” and say “Twitter is a private company. It can do what it wants. If you don’t like it, start your own company.”
It’s also revealing how their political machine is so significantly funded by unions, where the members don’t do that, but instead, use the government to coerce changes in practices/wealth redistribution.

So is that what compliance with “community standards” looks like?

Big Tech argues they deserve exemptions because they are not content providers. Acting as content deniers, suppressing anything that does not advance a state-approved “progressive” narrative, and facilitating the universal spread of that which does, effectively amounts to the same thing. [More]
How is removing legal content at the demand of Democrat politicians not a de facto First Amendment violation?
Efforts to track foreign mis- and disinformation under former President Donald Trump have since been “perverted” under President Joe Biden to increasingly monitor what Americans say on social media, former Trump administration officials told the Daily Caller. [More]
Using “perverted” and “Biden” in the same sentence seems … unsurprising…

It’s impossible not to notice, though. When certain issues come up, anybody deviating from a certain position is viciously attacked and “cancelled.” [More]
So I haven’t just been imagining stuff like “baseless” or “botched gun sting“…?

After Elon Musk acquired Twitter, there was a reported dramatic increase in usage of the N-word on the platform — the Network Contagion Research Institute said the term saw a 500% increase on the platform. [More]
A percentage without numbers is meaningless.
And look who they work hand-in-hand with. No political agenda there!
And there’s more than one way for government to get around that pesky First Amendment!
Elon Musk’s Twitter roils with hate speech as trolls test new limits [More]
“Trolls”? So, as with all hate hoaxes, it’s the accusers, not the accused?
Those against free speech are resorting to sabotage by smear.

Kyle Rittenhouse launches YouTube channel for ‘great content’ on GUNS and the Second Amendment as the 19-year-old Kenosha shooter notches up thousands of subscribers in just hours [More]
Except for wondering why he chose YouTube instead of a non-hostile alternative, I’ll reserve judgment. Lemme see what he actually knows and understands first.
