Life Imitates Art

The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned. [More]

I remember that scene

“Where’s the media outrage,” you ask…?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Despite showing nine Biden family members allegedly receiving funds from corrupt figures in Romania, China and other countries, The New Republic quickly ran a story headlined “Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden.” [More]

And that’s why I call ’em the DSM.

No Questions Allowed

Mere months after the Uvalde school district suspended its entire police force for failing to effectively respond to a deadly shooting at an elementary school, school officials banned a concerned parent from school property — because he questioned the qualifications of a new police hire. [More]

That’s tyranny, plain and simple.

Here’s what the new leadership is doing to ensure the safety of the children they’re entrusted with! And true to form, they limit who can comment…

Bull, Durham

The report, coming almost four years to the day since Durham’s assignment began, will probably be derided by Democrats as the end of a partisan boondoggle. Republicans will have to wrestle with a much-touted investigation that has cost taxpayers more than $6.5 million and didn’t send a single person to jail, even though Trump once predicted that Durham would uncover the “crime of the century.” [More]

Just because this is another flaccid Kraken doesn’t mean Trump was wrong.

It just means the possibilities for peaceful revolution keep getting sabotaged by those who believe they are in power.

Of course, it’s wrong.

I’m just trying to work up sympathy for companies and citizens that try to comply with tyranny in the first damn place. I’m also wondering why, aside from a few notable individuals like Barrett and Hornady, the industry and its trade association are committed to arming the disarmers.

To all those saying gun groups should ignore the border invasion and instead focus on crafting a welcoming outreach to persuade the new hordes to embrace our values, flesh out what you’ve got to overcome all this, and how it will be done before it’s too late.

Besides your ill-thought-out and wholly unsubstantiated opinion on echo chamber sites that don’t get the global traffic in a year that the celebrity whore du jour can command in one instance by performing a “wardrobe malfunction”…

A Plan Comes Together

The actual supremacist is but one out of 13 horrific acts of violence that they whitewash with the exception of that one loathsome scum. If you just read and don’t click the links, you might very well think white people are going crazy with guns all over the country. [More]

Yeah. Ginning up mass fear is a useful precursor to ginning up mass hate.

The Old ‘I Was Only Following Orders’ Excuse

The question now becomes “What orders wouldn’t they follow?”

I see some approvingly saying “This is how you talk to them.”

Me, I hope ignoring the prime directive doesn’t get him in trouble, particularly if “No, I didn’t do anything wrong” (2:34) comes back to haunt him.

O Canada

The Canadian press reports this initial step is a contract with the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA), a group representing Canada’s hunting and sport shooting industry, to work with Public Safety Canada and firearm businesses and retailers. [More]

So they’ll be like kapos…?

What else am I supposed to think when I see governments limiting rights to “sporting purposes“?

More Than One Way to Skin a Cat

America has 20 million AR-15 style rifles in circulation, and more guns than people in the country [More]

No, of course, they don’t have the resources to go after them via the legal system.

Which doesn’t mean they don’t have ruthless plans to eliminate threats to totalitarianism another way…

Smoke and Mirrors

” I know, and I think many of the people on your panel know, that prosecutors do not have evidence in hand linking the effort of Enrique Tarrio, Stewart Rhodes, and other lieutenants of theirs, to Donald Trump. They do not have the smoking-gun evidence that shows that Donald Trump was directing an effort to violently overthrow the government. ” [More]

Considering the charges and the punishment, it doesn’t even look like they “have the smoking-gun evidence that shows that[Stewart Rhodes] was directing an effort to violently overthrow the government.”

Shock and Awe Lawfare

The recommendation for Rhodes is the longest thus far for any person charged in connection with the Capitol attack, reflecting what prosecutors see as his role in a key organizing figure for members of the far-right militia — even as Rhodes was never alleged to have entered the Capitol building itself on Jan. 6. [More]

So he not only never went in, they have no direct orders he issued to any specific person. The seditious conspiracy here is by the persecutors.

This is an act of judicial terrorism with a chilling, wider goal in mind. What else would you call “the deliberate creation of a sense of fear, usually by the use or threat of use of symbolic acts of physical violence, to influence the political behavior of a given target group”?

I guess the jurors were impressionable and manipulable enough to embrace the hysteria. It also raises a question I’ve had for some time for those whose liberty advocacy efforts center on Fully Informed Juries: Even though “text, history, and tradition” known to the Founders is on your side, your message is limited by those who control the media, and by prevailing legal establishment interests, to the echo chambers of the political fringes.

The arrogant f*** (from Portland, OR) who wrote that actually cites a law review article that compares telling free citizens about their nullification rights to telling children not to stick beans up their noses (“most of them would not have thought about it had it not been suggested”) and wrings his hands over how difficult the First Amendment makes full suppression.

And potentially sympathetic politicians, mindful of what the Swamp and the media would do to them, have little incentive to touch it.

So why not force wider discussion and open the eyes of more by creating ballot measures in states that allow it? Just the act of collecting signatures will raise awareness “outside the choir” (and I qualify the use of that term), and the fact that something is gaining steam, and maybe even getting on the ballot, will call attention to a freedom safeguard the would-be rulers desperately want to keep citizens from learning about.

We might stick beans up our noses.
