Notes from the Resistance
Three major events in my life have converged and will require my undivided attention over the next few days. I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to even open the dozens of email tips sent in since the “close of business” yesterday, let alone do anything with them.
Please hold off on all emails, tips, messages, and comments until I can return. Otherwise, it will be a wasted effort on your part.
Sorry, that’s the best I can give you. Life, huh?
I’ll announce when I’m back up and running.
“Polymer80 is on the front lines of protecting the Second Amendment rights of all Americans right now,” Kelley told ProPublica. “That’s not a brag. It’s just the reality because we’ve become the whipping boy for emotionally driven government policy.” [More]
Say you could retrieve every gun involved here. How many crimes would be solved and killers would be taken off the streets if you could trace their serial numbers to their lawful owners?

I don’t suppose you’re entitled to see what they said, and maybe use the transcript in a libel suit? If so, do they need to be warned that anything they say can and will be used against them in a court of law?

A blitzkrieg. How appropriate.
Disarmed by the latest confiscation made possible by FOID? No worries, ISP says you can always put your fingers down your throat and vomit!
Good thing for them they don’t have to try to get the guns from all those people who didn’t fill out no damn cards!

Atlanta police got 911 calls: Someone was spray-painting swastikas on the rainbow crosswalk in the predominantly gay Midtown district. The LGBTQ community, not only in Atlanta, but nationwide, was prepared to launch a 24/7 media circus over this atrocity, but then police released surveillance video of the suspect, and suddenly the activists got so quiet you could hear the crickets chirping.

And now is as good a time as any to bring up a tangentially-related point. For an earlier post today I wanted to make sure I was spelling “Requiescat in Pace” correctly so looked up “RIP” on Google. This was the second hit:
Reflecting on how Google makes sure “Traditional American” sites are buried to make them unlikely if not impossible to find, and how non-“woke” ideology is demonetized or outright banned on those platforms, it’s curious to see the values they give top billing to. It’s also curious that I could go right to that video with no “potentially sensitive content” warnings.
The thought also strikes that this is all being done because those pulling the strings find it useful for everyone to accept that the biggest problems facing minority communities are systemic racism and white supremacists.

The senator is requesting that Garland provide details about the ATF investigations, including how the organization establishes probable cause to conduct these visits, as well as whether they obtain a warrant. She also called on the ATF to reveal how many “knock and talks” they have conducted since the ramp-up began in late July. The letter requests that Garland responds within 30 days. [More]
And if he doesn’t? Or just sends back some weasel words that paint the JBTs as heroes out there protecting us from racist domestic extremists? Hell, Eric Holder told a Republican Congress to go **** themselves and he’s still out there being in-your-face about everything.
This is more like Ernst trying to bolster/reestablish gun creds with the uninformed and those with short memories.

A champion has passed. Let us remember him with gratitude for his willingness and ability to bear those loads on our behalf that so many will not. Let us reflect on the qualities of character he personified and strive to exhibit them ourselves.
Hell, if you read one thing this year, read this. [More]
There are so many excellently right-on points that I’m not even going to pick a teaser paragraph. Vin Suprynowicz continues to demonstrate that he is one of our most observant and lucid commentators. I invite those who agree with me to share his link far and wide.
Talk about an inside player with connections to the major players in both parties. He has basically had access to everything. And in his “professional” opinion, Republicans are more dangerous, more violent, more extreme, and more contemptible than, ISIS or Al Qaeda. That’s to say more terroristic, and if that’s to be believed, more deserving of coordinated black ops search and destroy targeting and drone strikes, and more incarceration under Patriot Act “rules.” [More]
Yes, of course, they want to take your guns. And it’s got nothing to do with “commonsense safety” unless you’re talking about for tyrants.

That, of course, is attempted murder. What do you do with someone who can’t be trusted with his hands?
I like the way the perp’s lookin’ like a fool with his pants on the ground as he cheats paying for parking. You get the feeling there’s no law these amoral mutts won’t break at any moment as a matter of self-entitlement.
I see the Eloi won’t involve themselves either… then again, why should they?
