We have to start acting as if we have the upper hand because we do. [More]
I could say the same thing about 2A advocates.
Health Update
As you can see, I’m back.
Still not 100%, so please don’t load me up with news tips.
I have more article work that takes precedence, and I’m not going to overtax myself. Matter of fact, I have to skip elder feral son Uday’s birthday dinner at a favorite restaurant tonight because I’m just not up to venturing out into the cold and still want to keep my distance.

I need to see what I have to do to cut the 20 down to, like, three…
Youth Must Be Served
Providence man dies after assault by group of 11- and 12-year-olds [More]
Let me guess: None of them had names like Beaver, Wally, or Eddie Haskell…
I wonder how many are already fathers…
We’ll never know because the poor dears who are an obvious menace to the lives of peaceable citizens are too young to name.
Kinda reminds me of a game we’ve talked about…
f course, if you did what was needed there’d be riots and you’d be the fall guy.

Elections Have Consequences
The proposed map would have given Democrats a 10-1 edge for the House of Representatives. Right now, Democrats have 6 seats, while Republicans have 5. [More]
They’ll get there.
I get a genuine kick out of NRA trotting out their resident expert to “explain… the implications of these proposed infringements and what gun owners can do now to stand up for their rights.”
Where the hell was he — and them — on what gun owners needed to do THEN…?

Why Soldiers Chewed C4 Like Gum! [Watch]

We’re the Only Ones Tireless Enough
Weapons cache, secret bunker found in California home of conservative activist… an investigation was launched after [CHP} received a tip about a suspected illegal marijuana grow operation… The combination of a hidden bunker and an alarming cache of illegal weapons and ammunition highlights the threat posed to public safety,” CHP Northern Division Chief John Pinoli said. “I am proud of the tireless work of our Northern Division personnel that led to this arrest.” [More]
What danger?
Note how they tie it all in with Trump.
Who’s the snitch?

Scumbags and Technicalities
Court Punts on Gun Rights Question in Jury-Instruction Appeal … Salas-Martinez’ case highlights how a retired statute—particularly one that may now be considered unconstitutional under subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decisions—could still be written into a defendant’s jury charge if it governed at the time of the offense.[More]
Fine, give him that.
And then apply the law.

Man Who Sprayed Ilhan Omar at Town Hall Was Huge Fan of Trump
The “Republican” reaction would be comical if it weren’t so predictably pathetic.
But Wait! There’s More!
There’s ways to say things and ways to say things.
Herschel shares his way, along with a critical indictment of our countrymen I fear is on target.
DOJ Filing on Forced Reset Triggers Contradicts Pledges and Complicates Midterms
“You gotta win the midterms ’cause, if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just gonna be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” [More]
You’d think “a very stable genius” with so much skin in the game would know better than to let his people douse the fire in gunvoter bellies.
Still Sick
Sick Day
Boy, when I pick up a flu bug, I really pick up a flu bug. I’m really miserable.
Sorry, I just won’t be able to get to all the news tips sent in.
Like Scarlett said, tomorrow is another day, and hopefully just resting today will let me get back to it.
New Article
Gone Fishing
I expect to resume operations on the 26th. Please hold off on emails, news tips, and comments, which i may or may not be able to approve unless I learn how to do it on my phone, and I really hope to be spending my time differently.
I have an AmmoLand article on an Idaho GOP resolution to prosecute Lon Horiuchi and posthumously pardon Randy Weaver that hasn’t been published yet, so I can’t give you a link. It recalls some old information no one else is talking about that suggests how to put more teeth in it. Check my landing page later this week to read it.
That’s it, time to release feral son Uday from the dank catacombs beneath Stately Codrea Manor to stalk the halls and hunt for fresh intruder shinbones to gnaw in our absence… see ya on the other side.
Count Your Lucky Stars
Snoop Dogg proves he’s still in Hollywood’s good graces despite Trump controversy – Rapper received applause and cheers from the star-studded crowd while presenting best podcast award at Beverly Hilton ceremony [More]
So, I guess the guy’s Teflon on his luring underage girls deal…
Slow Going Ahead
I’ll be out of office for the next two weeks and will post a “Gone Fishing” notice at the end of the work day. I’ll try to get to more news tips today if they’re sent in soon, otherwise, please don’t exert yourselves.
I Guess My Money’s Not Good Enough…
I’ll be curious to see if Go Fund Me allows this to remain— if not, there’s no risk to donors and I’m sure other ways will be tried. [More]
Looks like my curiosity’s been satisfied:
At least I got the “No Risk” part right:
Per Henry’s comment, I’ve suggested GiveSendGo to DeStefano’s friends.
UPDATE via X Message:

With ‘Republicans’ Like These…
Trump endorses Bruce Blakeman in New York governor’s race after Rep. Stefanik’s exit [More]
I somehow missed the whole drama, including her leaving after he sat on his hands.
So who is this “Republican conservative” with the Don’s seal of approval?
When it comes to gun control, he’s pretty much in lock step with Hochul [More]
And he’s a big proponent of “gun-free zones.”
Meanwhile, he wants to torpedo Thomas Massie.
Making Lemonade Out of Lemons
Just before Christmas, the even more radical California State Bar imperiously advised the state’s 200,000 lawyers “Read it, declare it, mean it.” That ominous warning introduced the California Supreme Court’s Orwellian Rule 9.7 which requires every lawyer to attest that: “As an officer of the court, I will strive to conduct myself at all times with dignity, courtesy and integrity.” The license of any lawyer who fails or refuses to acquiesce will be invalidated, and any lawyer who violates the oath is subject to “appropriate fees and penalties” to be set by the Bar. [More]
“…dignity, courtesy and integrity”?
So… we can report Eric Swalwell…?
