But probably shouldn’t be exposed to the strong language I’m warning you here about before you click the link. [More]
I wish I knew who to credit.

Raising the Bar
Currently, when constitutional amendments are placed on the ballot, it takes only a simple majority (50% plus one vote) to change the constitution. SJR 2 would require any future constitutional amendment to be approved by at least 60% of the voters, whether proposed by initiative petition, by the General Assembly, or by a constitutional convention. [More]
This ought to buy us some time, at least.
But the changes the state is going through have already taken over where I live.
And we know how that ends up.
Cry the Betrayed Country
South African intellectual in Budapest: country’s water and power system could collapse, following disastrous affirmative action policies; Boer population planning for strategic withdrawal to thirty towns, building own infrastructure; don’t have EU passports, so must dig in. [More]
The Boers are the only African population that Europe isn’t eager to welcome.
Who thinks this can’t happen here?

Everybody’s a Critic These Days
Might have been a good idea to run the original article from January, so this would make more sense. [More]
New to how the internet works, are we…?
A Wapo PSA
Dettelbach on the work of the ATF [Watch]
Now there’s the kind of hard-hitting watchdog journalism on guns we’ve come to expect from The Washington Post!
It’s almost like they’re a volunteer public relations department…

Who’s Asking?
WaPo: Mass shooting raises controversial question: What’s the Christian thing to do about guns? [More]
That it’s “controversial” is the first lie, but one to set everyone scurrying off in the wrong direction. Shall we consult the “historical understanding” that the Founders accepted?
“He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend [it]self.”
Or we could just listen to more violence monopoly propaganda from the useful idiot rope-selling DSM, in this case from an outlet whose elitist multibillionaire owner profits off of child pornography…

Tolerate and Embrace Me Or I’ll Kill You!
“Hi, my name is Allan Poller, A-L-L-A-N P-O-L-L-E-R, phone number []8931. And I just want to let you know, Representative [Name], if you keep on coming for the gays, we’re gonna strike back and I guarantee you, you do not want to fuck with us. We will kill you if that’s what it takes. I will take a bullet to your fucking head if you fuck with my rights anymore. And then if you want to keep going down that path, you know who’s next.” [More]
Boy, if he thinks nobody wanted to accept him for who he is before…
On Again OFF Again
SB 348 has been pushed back one more day… SB 527, which enshrines discrimination into Oregon statutes, did pass out of committee with Republicans Kim Thatcher and Dennis Linthicum voting no. [More]
Fighting the gun-grabbing
What We’ve Got Here is Failure to Communicate
Zwerner’s lawyers allege that the Jan. 6 shooting was a personal attack that the school board and administrators failed to protect the teacher against the student despite multiple warnings. [More]
I don’t read that as the duty to protect that the “Only Ones” don’t have. I read it as deliberate indifference and negligence for failure to act following numerous credible warnings.
I’m wondering if now might be a good time to reintroduce these:

A Public/Private Partnership
Clearview AI scraped 30 billion images from Facebook and gave them to cops: it puts everyone into a ‘perpetual police line-up’ [More]
If the government didn’t want it, you can bet there’d be injunctions.
Better Than Nothing…
The governor’s plan, which requires legislative approval, would expand an ongoing proposal to place an armed guard at every Tennessee public school and provide grant funding for private schools to do the same. The state would require private schools to hire guards with the same level of training as public school requirements, though it can’t require private schools to take advantage of the program. [More]
…barely.
Parkland had an armed school resource officer, too.
They just can’t come right out and get sane, can they?

DeSantis’ signature tips US into majority ‘constitutional carry’ nation with new Florida gun rights law [More]
True, it’s not everything it’s hyped up to be, but it’s an incremental improvement. Time now for a renewed push and holding both the Vichycons and the State Sheriffs Association’s feet to the fire.

DeSantis Says He’ll Call a Special Session to Consider Open Carry [More]
How would you translate “If I can get the votes”?

Where Credit is Due
In this case, a mentally ill woman suffering a psychotic break with reality was told by the media, doctors, therapists, academics that she was perfectly sane, was actually a man trapped in a woman’s body and was literally fighting against the genocide of people like her. [More]
And Democrats. Don’t forget Democrats.

Thank goodness there’s finally an explanation we can all believe!

Adventures in ‘Real Reporting’
Julio wrote about this NBC News piece which didn’t even identify Hale as transgender. To make things more interesting, they said Hale was “gunned down” by police when confronted. [More]
Just be grateful they didn’t end the report with a rigged IED.

The Big Chill
Independent journalist Steve Baker says he was recently warned that his aggressive reporting and commentary about Jan. 6 have created growing ire at the U.S. Department of Justice that could lead to his prosecution for being at the Capitol on that fateful Wednesday in 2021. [More]
Well, if he’s an “independent,” he’s not an “Authorized Journalist” then, is he?
And scary official threats of retaliation for reporting the truth… where have we seen that before?

Critical Mas
End Gun Free Zones – Massad Ayoob & the Solution to Stop Mass School Shootings. [Watch]
Yep.
The only point I would presume to add any kind of caveat is on the identities of the killers. We need to know them so that we aren’t entirely dependent on police and media to find out more, especially about their political views, as we’ve seen it become SOP to take down their social media accounts when they don’t fit the narrative profile.
I don’t have a solution except maybe to have some standard of grading media coverage to incentivize not going overboard in rewarding the aberrations with “fame” — and that doesn’t seem likely as the focus with the latest atrocity is on blaming Christians for the latest monster being driven to slaughtering children because of their “intolerance.”

This Should End Well
The L.A. County Board of Supervisors has quietly added a proposal on Tuesday’s agenda that seeks to “decarcerate” and “depopulate” LA jails by directing law enforcement & courts to vastly expand the use of “cite and release” & return to COVID emergency bail schedule. [More]
What else would we expect from four Democrats and a Vichycon, privileged women all…?
