Speaking of Disenfranchising Voters

Californians enacted the law by a statewide referendum with the unambiguous language that the sentence “shall be” imprisonment for at least 25 years and that prosecutors “shall plead and prove all known prior serious or violent felony convictions.” Nonetheless, directly and openly flouting that law, Gascon ordered a blanket policy of refusing to enter the prior convictions into the record.

All that talk about “our democracy” is just that.

We’re the Only Ones Silencing Enough

As you’ll see, the most shocking revelation from the interview comes via CBS’s reporter, who relays Gomez’s claim that some unknown officer threatened her with charges of obstruction of justice if she continued speaking out about the cops’ passivity. That would mean jail time for her, as she’s currently on probation for a prior offense. [More]

In the interests of consistency, if priors can terminate recognition of your Second Amendment rights, why should the First be any different?

Irreconcilable Differences

Dozens of Georgia churches split from United Methodist Church over LGBTQ issues [More]

I don’t suppose a similar process exists for states over issues like that and/or RKBA…? Or will a violently abusive federal stalker beat them back into servile submission?

Going for the Gold

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said next week she will bring forward legislation to ban military-style assault weapons, as the chamber moves to address gun violence. [More]

It’s interesting watching how they can’t control their obsession to control.

Looks like a line in the sand to me…

I wonder how many others feel that way.

Footprint in the Door

WEF panelist boasts about “individual carbon footprint tracker” [More]

And naturally, they’ll need to keep tabs on what and how much you fire off at the range…

These blasphemers who would be gods are called “totalitarians” because they demand to control it all.

Until some individual carbon footprints are applied to some individual elitist backsides this will only get more and more intrusive.

A Preemptive Strike

Never mind that his focus is on gun control, when he never even asks the question, “How could John Adams carry his “peece” to school with him and there was no violence, and we can’t get a handle on gangland?” He never asks root cause questions such as, “Have we created this problem ourselves by government programs eviscerating the family unit? Will we ever end the violence with gun control if access to firearms isn’t the cause of the problems?” [More]

That’s something Adams was well aware of:

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

I wonder if Blocher has read Pynchon
