The Keys to the Kingdom

For the fourth time since 2007, an internal audit shows the Department of Homeland Security isn’t deactivating access cards in the hands of ex-employees, leaving its secure facilities vulnerable to intruders. [More]

Their name is what’s known as an oxymoron.

Then again, it doesn’t seem much of a stretch to assume there are evil minds behind letting disposable incompetents believe themselves to be in charge.

Wholly Inadequate

“We gotta get back to teaching there is a right or wrong or, I agree with everybody here, we’re going to have to get rid of the Second Amendment, we’re going to have to get rid of Freedom of Speech, we’re going to have to get rid of freedom of assembly,” Gohmert said. “This Constitution won’t work the way we are teaching children.” [More]

Not that doing those things will actually invalidate the rights they articulate, but like Mr. Adams warned us…

Adventures in Baselessness

In contrast, a little-known case that appeared recently on the Court docket could do just that. The case of Brunson v. Adams, not even reported in the mainstream media, was filed pro se by ordinary American citizens – four brothers from Utah — seeking the removal of President Biden and Vice President Harris, along with 291 U.S. representatives and 94 U.S. senators who voted to certify the electors to the Electoral College on Jan. 6, 2021 without first investigating serious allegations of election fraud in half a dozen states and foreign election interference and breach of national security in the 2020 presidential election. The outcome of such relief would presumably be to restore Donald Trump to the presidency. [More]

Wake me when SCOTUS agrees to hear it.

Setting the Stage

JAIL PELOSI: Feds and Media Now Claim There Was a Mysterious Website Discovered on Dec. 20 with Over 500 Pages of Threats and Discussions of Killing Lawmakers and Terrorism on Jan. 6 – And We Are JUST NOW HEARING THIS?? [More]

“What website?” indeed. And “whose?”

I don’t suppose any low-hanging fruit provocateurs were involved…?

With all the cover they get from the DSM, you gotta wonder if there’s any Reichstag fire they don’t think they can set and get away with.

Unsettled ‘Science’

Did the assault weapons ban of 1994 bring down mass shootings? Here’s what the data tells us [More]

There IS no reliable data, you agenda-driven junk science dope, which doesn’t stop you from getting everybody stirred up when you know full well most will never read your screed down far enough to see this admission:

It is also important to note that our analysis cannot definitively say that the assault weapons ban of 1994 caused a decrease in mass shootings, nor that its expiration in 2004 resulted in the growth of deadly incidents in the years since.

The only “compelling state interest” here is a disarmed citizenry enabling a totalitarian monopoly of violence.

Tournament of Poses

On Dec. 7, 1941—less than a month before the game was set to kick off—the Japanese navy bombed Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War II. Due to widespread fear regarding another attack on the West Coast by Japan, the federal government banned large gatherings in that region of the country, including the Rose Bowl and the accompanying Rose Parade. [More]

And now its parade has been led by someone who wants the government to confiscate American rifles from behind every blade of grass (unsubstantiated quote notwithstanding).

Under Consideration

David M. Greco, Petitioner v. Matthew J. Platkin, Attorney General of New Jersey, et al… Dec 28 2022 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/13/2023. [More]

This is a FOURTH AMENDMENT challenge to New Jersey’s “red flag” law based on unconstitutional search and seizure…

Lest Ye Be Judged

A Missouri judge has ruled that a pardon from the governor doesn’t mean the St. Louis lawyer and his wife who gained national attention for waving guns at racial injustice protesters in 2020 should get back the weapons they surrendered and fines they paid after guilty pleas last year. [More]

She just wishes she could do more.

The Girlfriend Loophole

The Petitioner who filed for the Extreme Risk Protection Order was the estranged boy friend of the Respondent who was a licensed gun owner in New York State … The Court also pointed out that there was a Family Court case also going on in which The Petitioner had an Order of Protection against him which among other things barred him from the home that they had shared. [More]

Sounds like it should have been called the Stalker Protection Act…

To Themselves and Their Posterity

A pregnant mom crossed the Rio Grande decades ago to give her unborn child a better life. Now her daughter is becoming a member of Congress [More]

And guess what she wants:

Ask not what we can do for your country, ask what your country can do for us.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

Oh, look: Here comes a new batch of Democrats!

People Also Propagandize

I was looking for some ATF financial information for an article I’m drafting and happened upon this “helpful” information “courtesy” of Google:

People also answer, but the key here is “which people”?

I wonder when Google is just going to come right out and openly adopt “Be evil”…?
