We’re the Only Ones Ringing Enough

Law enforcement agencies will soon have easier access to footage captured by Amazon’s Ring smart cameras. In a partnership announced this week, Amazon will allow approximately 5,000 local law enforcement agencies to request access to Ring camera footage via surveillance platforms from Flock Safety. Ring’s cooperation with law enforcement and the reported use of Flock technologies by federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has resurfaced privacy concerns that have followed the devices for years.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

In these documents, in particular the fining decision issued on Monday, October 13th, 2025, the UK’s Internet regulator claims that its powers have supremacy over the U.S. Constitution, including the First Amendment, and U.S. law for U.S. companies and citizens engaged in constitutionally protected speech and conduct occurring exclusively on U.S. soil. [More]

I note all the extortion attempts are signed “Yours faithfully, Ofcom Enforcement,” meaning “Yours facelessly,” with the indignant martinet who has spent untold hours compiling “hamster bedding” failing to see how personally cowardly, impotent and absurd he is.

I wonder, if the client ever travels within UK jurisdiction, if he’d be subject to arrest and prosecution, and if the U.S. State Department would come to his defense.

I also wonder how I can get on the list, maybe by inviting anyone from the UK to leave a forbidden comment here…

It’s Time for Commonsense Thought Safety Laws!

New York City has filed a lawsuit against major social media companies, accusing them of contributing to a youth mental health crisis through the design and operation of their platforms. [More]

Not that I give a damn about any of those platforms, but I notice no one is saying anything about the portion shared by the Democrat government the yutes live under, the compulsory Democrat school systems that put them through 12+ years of standardized indoctrination, and the Democrat parents who vote for more of it.

Here’s what else is missing: What an acceptable platform and information would look like, especially after they elect the commie.

War of Words

In his 1965 essay “Repressive Tolerance,” Herbert Marcuse brazenly proclaimed the left’s plan to twist the language and the concept of objective standards for free speech beyond all recognition. Bluntly, in the hands of Marcuse and his fellow leftists, “day is night as dark is light and wrong is right,” and tolerance is perverted into intolerance. [More]

True, they don’t have a First or a Second Amendment, but contrary to popular opinion, Australians have a right to free speech and a right to keep and bear arms. Everyone does.

What most don’t have is the will to keep violence monopolists from denying them.

Governor Walz, DFL Leaders Release Proposal for Special Session on Guns, School Safety [More]

Here’s what they’re going for this time:

a. Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines ban b. Binary trigger ban c. Eliminate the ghost gun loophole d. Strengthen Extreme Risk Protection Orders, including increased funding for public outreach and education e. Expand school safety funding f. Increase funding for mental health treatment g. Strengthen prohibitions against domestic abusers to ensure they do not have access to firearms (HF 391) h. Increase criminal penalties for violent offenses committed with a firearm and increase criminal penalties for impersonating a police officer i. Increase funding to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Team

And no, of course that won’t be all once they get these passed.

Just ask Omar.

Just Like the Founders Intended

Creates the Responsibility in Firearm Legislation (RIFL) Act. Establishes a firearms manufacturer licensing program in the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, with certain requirements, including that the sum of all fees for firearms manufacturer licenses shall be equal to the public health costs and financial burdens from firearm injuries and deaths. [More]

Skirt protections,” eh?

There’s nothing “novel’ about being Democrat punks who continue to harass even though they know this spits on the face of the SCOTUS-held text, history, and tradition standard. They know they have unlimited tax plunder resources and can drag private plaintiff efforts and expenses on for years, all with impunity, that is, no personal repercussions.

To them it’s a game of “Gotcha!”

Some of us aren’t playing.

None Dare Call Them Domestic Enemies

On Sept. 30, Philadelphia’s Office of Immigrant Affairs plans to hoist the red flag emblazoned with the star of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in front of city hall to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of the CCP. [More]

Because even though they don’t (yet) outright admit it (to the general public), they’re communists.

In your face, birthplace of American independence!

Just like Democracy Now! with its glowing tribute to th e “legacy” of good communi… I mean “black liberation activist” Assata Shakur, without once mentioning she was a Marxist murderer.

Moving Targets

Eric Swalwell Says Dems Will Target Private Citizens Who Work With Trump [More]

Really? Organized Democrat lawfare against citizens who don’t back their scams and vote their way?

See, this is the latest Big Lie Dems are pushing– that exposing their political criminality and making them pay for it, while it may be personally satisfying, is still only justice working the way it should. A sense of schadenfreude about karma, and even feeling a rush of revenge for wrongs done, is simply a side benefit of human nature.

Here’s one danger with his threat that seems directly relevant to us– just like the court judgments that assign decision protections to members of gun groups that obtained a judgment, being a member of such groups that support him and his agenda will mean you “worked with Trump.”

Me, I think this treasonous Swalwell f_head ought to be investigated for voter intimidation conspiracy, and if speech or debate clause protections really apply to doing it on CNN (I know about Murtha, but SCOTUS never weighed in). And that in turn reminds me of a write-up I once did concerning an anti-gun Vichycon, centered on this quote from an AP report:

A congressman has no special protection from criminal charges, a federal appeals panel ruled Wednesday in allowing a racketeering and bribery trial for Rep. Joseph M. McDade (R-Pa.). McDade had used the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause in asking for dismissal of the charges.

An investigation would be a whole lot more orderly and peaceable in the end than having to remind this toad Swalwell that people who feel they’re targeted and have nothing left to lose sometimes target back.

Heiß Umfehdet, Wild Umstritten

The possession of Category B firearms such as pistols will in the future only be permitted from the age of 25 instead of 21, while Category C firearms, such as rifles, will only be allowed from the age of 21. A psychological evaluation will be mandatory when applying for the first time and again after five years. In addition, checks will be carried out every five years. For Category C weapons, a firearms ownership card will now also be required, just as it already is for Category B weapons. This is outlined in the draft law proposed by the governing parties. [More]

None Dare Call It Treason

The DC Court of Appeals today upheld the district’s under-21 gun ban, saying that “assum[ing] without deciding that eighteen-to-twenty-one-year-olds with no criminal history are part of ‘the people’ that the Second Amendment protects,” they do not have the right to purchase, possess, or carry guns [More]

At least we know where they think rights come from.
