Notes from the Resistance
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Delaware’s recently-adopted ban on so-called “assault weapons” on the grounds the legislation—known as House Bill 450—violates the Second Amendment. [More]
Show me a “commonsense gun safety” bill that doesn’t.
Donald Trump should not get free airtime on CNN and other news networks. Sign this petition immediately. [More]
You can’t have free elections with anyone who’s not a doctrinaire communist running because “our democracy” relies on there only being one side!
And I put in an addendum from “Ultraviolet” complaining that Facebook “fact checkers” aren’t censoring Trump supporters.
These people really don’t want any thought that doesn’t come from them being out there.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been exchanged on the stock market by our elected officials in 2021 alone. In just equities, Congress bought and sold nearly $290 million throughout the year. In 2021, Congress beat the market! [More]
Did someone say “insider trading”…?
And then, of course, there are other highly lucrative forms of financial compensation that no one seems interested in…

Will the American Empire Collapse in Our Lifetime? [More]
23 years later and I still haven’t had any gun-grabber try to answer my questions:
I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

None of them pass the Bruen “historical understanding” benchmark, but that doesn’t matter to the antis, who will never stop because they have the resources and media support to keep coming and coming and coming…

Study shows cash transfers from rich to poor can increase happiness of the poor [More]
So naturally, the solution for human happiness is a dependency on communists!
Just ask CBS Mornings host Tony Dokoupil!
Curious thing though– they don’t really tell us much about the qualifications of the “researchers” to fundamentally alter the governance and course of humanity.
One is this guy, who also shared his “water is wet” epiphany by concluding “Smartphone use undermines enjoyment of face-to-face social interactions,” and the other fancies herself an expert in happiness who does a mediocre job of imparting it to those taking her classes.
Reality, of course, shows us that totalitarian governments with the power to impose forced wealth transfers have historically always resulted in human misery and destitution.
As an aside, you’d think a smart guy like Jeff Bezos would realize a simple truth pointed out by John Stossel:
If the IRS grabbed 100 percent of income over $1 million, the take would be just $616 billion. That’s only a third of this year’s deficit.

The Montgomery County Council unanimously approved a bill on Tuesday banning the possession of firearms within 100 yards of a place of public assembly… it bans the possession of firearms in most public places, including “a park; place of worship; school; library; recreational facility; hospital; community health center; long-term facility; or multipurpose exhibition facility, such as a fairgrounds or conference center.” [More]
And we’ve already seen the “good” that does.
But don’t worry. “Only Ones” are exempted.
“[T]he son of immigrant parents,” eh, Gabe? So they figured imposing their native citizen disarmament practiced by those they were fleeing on those taking them in would be just the ticket?
Good thing that has nothing to do with the “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

New York: replica gun ban takes affect November 14 [More]
Do you think we should tell the “real reporters”?
I talked about tyrants of color before.
And long before that.

In an opinion piece for Scientific American, writer Bryn Nelson insinuated that my factual reporting on Drag Queen Story Hour was an example of “stochastic terrorism,” which he defines as “ideologically driven hate speech” that increases the likelihood of unpredictable acts of violence. [More]
Such smears by agents of those who crave power and control seem to be all the rage these days.
Figures Scientific American is carrying their water.

Jihadists execute 26 women for being ‘witches’ after claiming children suddenly died [More]
Tell us how bad you’ve got it here with white Christian men, militant Democrat chicks.
And keep telling women owning guns puts them at risk.
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?
Their well planned campaign of influence, backed by substantial economic resources and technological advances, has masterfully manipulated the Western elite, media, entertainment, universities, NGOs, and think-tanks to control the narrative on China. Businesses and politicians have been won over with deals, creating dependencies that China has expertly exploited. [More]

And that’s not all, by a long shot.
There’s net worth and then there’s net worth.

A Louisiana man is fighting in court for the First Amendment right to express satire after he made a joke about COVID-19, and was arrested by a sheriff’s armed SWAT team that confronted him with guns drawn. [More]
Talk about deprivation of rights under color of authority…
The only thing they’re laughing about is their qualified immunity.
