A Government-Created Problem

ICE arrests criminal illegal and teacher wanted for her involvement in a TDA gang mass shooting [More]

I could see her in a bell tower screaming “Sanctuary!”

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

This is what Democrats, teachers unions, and No Kings pinkos are bent on imposing everywhere, in Everytown.

Poking the Eye of Sauron

Eyeofsauron

I’ve been using FlockHopper, it is taking public data on where current FLOCK cameras are located and re-routing you to avoid being illegally surveilled on. [More]

Not to rain on anybody’s parade, but wouldn’t you also need to disable or shield your cell phone and have an older car without signal capabilities to truly conceal your route? And noting how many cameras there are, how on earth could you plan trips to avoid them all and get from here to there? I’m also wondering if a prosecutor might consider having/activating the app as circumstantial evidence to build a premeditation case.

Then there’s always the power to subpoena FlockHopper records. I don’t expect a developer who collects data for purchases to pull a Lawrence DeStefano and go to jail rather than turn over what he’s got.

If I’m all wet, let me know. I was wrong once back in ’58 and I still hear about it on occasion.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Now Anti-ALPR license plate covers are an idea I could get behind. So it figures the surveillance state has gotten in front of it.

ATF Director Robert Cekada Gets Softball Treatment on Pistol Braces from Colion Noir

Many “conservatives” revere any Trump administration policy as if Moses himself had carried it down from Mount Sinai. [More]

If I go by my own experience, Darwin can expect angry missives from MAGA über alles types demanding to know if he would rather have Kamala and canceling subscriptions in 3…2..1…

None Dare Call It Treason

Los Angeles proposal to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections sparks online backlash [More]

What’s the big deal? Just give ’em a couple more generations…

Requiring ID from citizens disenfranchises them but non-citizens will be able to prove their status…?

We’re the Only Ones Vindictive Enough

Policewoman

“She was angry that he hired his son a lawyer, and asked to have the lawyer involved in questioning, which was perfectly legal and was his right to do,” said David Maxted with Maxted Law LLC. “And she decided to retaliate against them, and swore out a false affidavit and pushed forward a false criminal case against an innocent man. And it ruined his career and dragged his name through the mud, ruined his reputation.” [More]

Don’t worry, she’s retired and still gets her pension.

Can It Get More Inspirational?

Just out of curiosity, how do you square “The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up,” with text, history, tradition and Founding intent recognized in Bruen as being the critical benchmark?

The March Goes On

Westcliffe2AMarch

Regulars here and at Sipsey Street Irregulars have been following the march for some time, and will also recall George Gramlich and the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel.

He would have never asked for a tribute, which makes it all the more appropriate and meaningful. I hope he and Mike will be watching the parade together.

Getting Warmer…

The US Supreme Court decision in Hemani offers great support to the 2A challenges to Virginia gun ban laws. [Watch]

He’s right when he observes “shall not be infringed” must be viewed and argued in the context of what The Framers would have considered to be infringements when it comes to “dangerous and unusual.”

I’d like to see him acknowledge that “in common use at the time” needs to include arms that standing army soldiers deploy with, not just what’s commercially popular, because otherwise, the machinegun ban will continue and any new developments in arms technology will be withheld from We the People.

And the bottom line is, prohibition does not work in a society that has rights, and you need to amp up the totalitarianism to where it does. If someone can’t be trusted with a gun…

Village of the Damned

Village of the damned 1960 1200x650 700x379

Frankly speaking, my dear Karl, I do not like this modern word, which all weaklings use to cloak their feelings when they quarrel with the world because they do not possess, without labour or trouble, well-furnished palaces with vast sums of money and elegant carriages. [More]

What could possess someone to believe they are entitled to something for nothing?

And since that heart is obviously animated and governed by a demon not granted to all men, is that demon heavenly or Faustian?

The original Rebellion continues and we’re up to our necks in it. Pick a side.

Curtis v. Katz Media Update

The question on everyone’s mind: Will the case be appealed? They have 15 days. He would like to and will give the matter serious consideration. [More]

I’ve updated “Judge Rules Against Injunction in Militia Challenge to VA Gun Ban” with a synopsis and transcript of yesterday’s Zoom meeting.
