Chucks and Balances

Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said he will strike back with legislation after a court in Texas said it won’t agree to his demand to change how it assigns cases — a seemingly technical issue, but with significant implications for how some major cases are decided. [More]

In other words, so much for separation of power. The repulsive tyrant-in-waiting knows he’s out of bounds so he intends to lay claim to new power. If Republicans are dumb enough to let him.

Get into the weeds at Volokh Conspiracy and Four Boxes Diner.

Ludicrous BART Campaign Increases Dangers to Passengers with Cards Against Attackers

Amidst this backdrop, we’re supposed to believe passing cards to third parties won’t do more than aggravate an already insane situation? [More]

Being terrorized on the train by a cleaver-wielding maniac released by the system? No problem, just hand a “You Got Me?” card to a total stranger! And remember to keep voting Democrat to “feel” safe!

Survey SAYS…

But more than a third of the elite 1% he surveyed would condone cheating. And among those who are “politically obsessed” – meaning that they talk about politics every day – that number shot up to 69%… Keep in mind that this elite 1% group is overwhelmingly liberal. According to Rasmussen, these are mainly well-educated urbanites who make more than $150,000 a year and think Joe Biden is doing a great job. Nearly three-quarters identify as Democrats. [More]

Our moral superiors who consider us “deplorables”…

They really are degenerates in just about every way.

The Spirit of Aloha

Under Senate Bill 2845 (Senate Draft 2, House Draft 1), people would be prohibited from selling ammunition to anyone under 21 and those under 21 would be prohibited from owning, possessing or controlling ammunition except as specifically allowed by law. [More]

In the Kapu tradition

Tribal primitives are beating the celebration drums.

Hey, they’re not eating with the men, are they?

Think of It as Good Old-Fashioned Bench Electioneering

US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to put on hold a New York City licensing rule requiring prospective gun owners to show good moral character to own a firearm. In rejecting a stay request on Thursday relating to a district court order that’s being appealed, Sotomayor turned away yet another bid to prohibit government officials from enforcing their laws while being challenged in court. [More]

Sounds to me like she’s campaigning to keep her seat.

Yes, by all means.

It’s All in the Optics

Garland’s comments come in an election year when violent crime is a major campaign issue, and one that Biden’s opponent, former President Donald Trump has attacked him on.  [More]

By their motivation ye shall know them.

And guess what they deliberately don’t mention when they assure us violent crime is down.

The Few, the Loud…

Democrat Ruben Gallego Would Prohibit Arizonans From Buying AR-15s … . “Carrying and using his M16 to defend himself and his fellow Marines in Iraq made it clear to Ruben that weapons of war have no place in civilian life”… [More]

Ah, the old familar lie of omission compounded with false authority!

Just because you were a Marine doesn’t mean you can’t be a domestic enemy.

Just ask Lee Harvey Oswald.

Prohibitionists Gonna Prohibit

Groups representing minorities, like the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement and the nonprofit National Action Network, the latter which was founded by civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton, argue that banning menthol cigarettes while not restricting non-menthol cigarettes “puts a microscope on minority communities.” They say it could increase the probability of negative interactions between police and minorities. [More]

Off one who resists arrest and watch more than the contraband go up in smoke. And best of all, we can blame it on Democrats.

Y’know, you could draw a parallel between the ineffectual laws against cigarettes and other goods

Different Day, Same Old Schiff

Ties Between Judge Merchan’s “Child” and Adam Schiff Represent Major Conflict in Hush Money Trial – Loren Merchan’s firm was paid $4 million by Adam Schiff at the same time he conspired with Michael Cohen to take down Donald Trump. Cohen will be a witness in Judge Merchan’s courtroom next month. [More]

It’s in-your-face blatant. And it’s election interference.

There’s something especially disgusting about a lawyer who betrays attorney/client privilege that puts him in fitting company with Schiff and Merchan.

Big Brother is Piggybacking Off You

Businesses have six months to comply and if they don’t, they could face fines and citations. The ordinance also states that each business will be responsible for purchasing and posting the cameras. [More]

And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free…

Then again, it doesn’t look like self-control is a solution in Democrat enclaves

We’re the Only Ones Cut Back Enough

Baltimore is now facing apocalyptic levels of policing shortages. Last week, THREE police officers patrolled a whole district of 61,000 residents. [More]

So what better way to divert attention from total incompetence than to gaslight everyone with a meme that those opposed to DEI “don’t have the courage to say the ‘N’ word“… ?

Now, when the city descends further into hell, anyone pointing that out can be condemned as racist.

Max Frost Nipping at Your Rights

The Prevent Illegal Gun Resales Act would add common sense structural reform to the gun sale industry by boosting license application requirements for gun retailers, proportionally increasing the cost of licensing fees, and adding a new definition for “high-risk dealers” that would include sellers who:

Had a known violation or warning in the past three years; Had firearms either lost or stolen from them within the preceding year; or, Were the source of two or more guns with a time-to-crime of three years or less. [More]

In other words, close them all down.

Yes, Bob, exactly like Democrats.

Yes, this is political posturing for the media, and no, it won’t pass — yet — but it’s instructive to see what the plans are for when previous impediments are removed through “compromise.”

The only reason to let the enemy get closer to the target is to draw him into a trap.
