The Empire Strikes Back

After 2 Million FOID Card Holders Rebel Against Pritzker, Democrats Target Illinois Gun Owners’ Driver’s Licenses [More]

He’s altering the terms of the deal. Pray he does not alter them further.

Hey, what was the text, history and tradition of operating a private horse-drawn carriage on throughways at the time of the Founding…?

Checking Your Privilege

NFA still standing tells us we can’t rely on assumptions about rulings that say the state can’t tax a right. That said, these stupid, smirking cows have no idea of the elemental forces they’re tampering with…

Running Out the Clock

US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has decided to hear en banc the Bianchi v. Brown MD “assault weapon” ban case and, thus, prevent a likely favor 2A ruling from being issued by the three-judge panel of that court. [Watch]

And as I’ve said, if the Republicans blow the elections and Dems manage to change SCOTUS, we’ll get to see which side is more serious.

Won’t You Be Our Neighbor?

Kentucky scientists beam message to star system 40 light years away inviting aliens to visit state: ‘We have bourbon’ [More]

Vs.

We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.

“Pull up a chair and have a drink” vs. “We are the Borg. You will be assimilated”…?

I don’t think I’d be accepting any party invitations from that house…

Democrats Offer Anti-Gun Insurrectionist in New York Special Election

And what’s worse is that while Suozzi showed he perfectly understands the ultimate last resort provision against tyranny behind the Second Amendment, he actively works to undermine it in his quest for power over the lives of his countrymen. [More]

Suozzi’s idea of “gun violence prevention” is to disarm you and me and start an armed uprising.

Still Not Dead

Whatever this damn thing is, it’s pretty unpleasant. I did get about twice as much sleep last night as I did the night before, probably around three hours, so maybe I’m turning a corner. The rest of the family is pretty much through the woods.

I managed to turn out one AmmoLand piece on an insurrectionist gun-grabber, scheduled to post later this morning, and a Firearms News article on Wayne, due out whenever. I’ll do announcements here and on social advocacy media when they go live, but that’s all I’m planning on doing here until Monday.

I can handle limited comments and will be checking in through the day to moderate, but please continue to hold off on tips and correspondence until the Sphinx signals “All clear.”

UPDATE

Couldn’t take it any more and went to urgent care. It’s not Covid, flu or RSV, it’s bronchitis Got prescriptions and hopefully they will knock this out and let me resume normal activities on Monday.

That’s All I Can Stands, I Can’t Stands No More

The whole fam damily has been fighting some kind of cold/upper respiratory bug (not Covid), and after several days of low-grade discomfort it’s made it’s way to me in full.

I’m going to knock it off and take it easy. I may be back tomorrow, I may not.

I’m on easy chair and tea duty until further notice. Please hold off on tips and comments.

None Dare Call It Extortion

“Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wants the United States to pay $20 billion to help curb illegal immigration.” [More]

Nice Republic you got there. Shame if something happened to it…

I wonder how much of what they’re already getting gets funneled into the cartels.

We’re the Only Ones Ballsy Enough

J6 Truth confirmed InvestigateJ6.org and StopHate.com… earlier identified MPD Officer Jimmy Chrisman as the dangerous thug who fired the Stinger Ball Munition into crowd of peaceful patriots on January 6th. [More]

So it wasn’t Trump telling followers “to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”…?

What IS the Point?

A stunned Stephanopoulos interrupted Pelosi and said, “It’s the Constitution…”

“That’s not the point,” Pelosi said… [More]

If the object is to delegitimize consent of the governed, they’re going about it the right way.

They’ve apparently war-gamed this to suggest they can provoke some low-hanging fruit into giving cover for a demand for increased powers and crackdowns.

It’s fair to wonder how much of what the think tank eggheads perceive is based on understanding who they’re squeezing, and if confirmation bias has prevented them from comprehending alternative outcomes.
