Taking Stock

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away another challenge to a federal ban imposed under former President Donald Trump on devices called “bump stocks” that enable a semi-automatic weapon to fire like a machine gun. The justices declined to review an appeal by a group of firearms dealers and individuals in Minnesota, Texas and Kentucky after a lower court rejected their argument that the government had violated the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment “takings clause” by effectively taking their private property without just compensation.

As noted before, all the High Court needs to do to let tyranny stand is…nothing.

And thanks again, Donald.

Anybody Else See a Disconnect?

Stefanik endorses Trump for president in 2024, as some push him to delay announcement [More]

She’s returning love he gave when she was running for GOP Conference Chair against Rep. Chip Roy, and Trump said:

“Can’t imagine Republican House Members would go with Chip Roy—he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district. I support Elise, by far, over Chip!”

Not only was he not primaried, he just delivered for the GOP in a landslide, 63% to 37%.

What’s Trump’s signature issue?

Stefanik’s mediocre C+ rating from Numbers USA (up from a D- a few years ago) includes a wholly unacceptable “F” for “Reduce Unnecessary Worker Visas,” an “F-” for “Reduce Refugee and Asylum Fraud,” and a “D+” for “Reduce Illegal Jobs and Presence.”

And she was one of 34 GOP turncoats calling for “DACA amnesty.”

Compare to Roy, with an “A+.” He’s better all around.

I guess not going along to get along was the dealbreaker.

What’s Trump’s signature issue again? Maybe he’d like to take my challenge?

We’ve already established the guy is so good at firing people because he’s so lousy at hiring them. This business of bestowing support based on who’s stroking his ego is going to kill us..

Why Not Just Hang Him and His Supporters and Be Done with It?

MSNBC Legal Analyst Declares Trump Could Be Charged With Manslaughter [More]

Noting Trump is an avatar, so could every J6 defendant, and probably everyone who has expressed doubt about the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election.

Let’s cut to the chase: These neo-Soviets from the IDAK school of government want all opposition gulaged or exterminated.

They’ll just need your guns first.

The MAGA Murders

When the local host pointed out to Krasner that nearly a thousand people had been murdered in his city in just the last 20 months, the DA preposterously countered that the real crime problem in America is Donald Trump and his followers. “These states in the United States that have a rate of homicide which is 40 percent higher — are MAGA states,” Krasner claimed. “They are Trump states.” [More]

Yet the violent crime is overwhelmingly taking place in the Democrat enclaves.

A Snitch in Time

The US government finally admitted in this letter that they were running Confidential Human Sources inside the Oath Keepers organization on January 6. The government also notified the attorneys that they are issuing a protective order for the operatives they ran inside the organization on January 6. The feds sandbagged the defense for nearly two years, and then sprang the existence of these Confidential Human Sources at the llth hour!

Shades of the Hutaree and Whitmer embeds… and how they were coerced would be a story worth hearing. And along these lines

As I replied to my “small cadre” colleagues about all the hoop-de-doo out to get Trump at all costs:

There’s plenty I don’t like about Trump too, but they’ve been trying to destroy him on false charges since Day One. Meanwhile, the Hillary-funded Russian collusion conspiracy abetted by embedded FBI apparatchiks was nothing if not an attempted insurrection/seditious conspiracy.

All I hear are inflammatory ALLEGATIONS by demonstrable partisans with ultimate admissions that they don’t have EVIDENCE.

Responding “Pence deserves to be hanged” in private as his first, off-the-cuff reaction to an aide is a far cry from publicly urging a mob to actually hang him. Now think of all the things Biden and prominent Dems say that could inspire unhinged Dems to commit violence against MAGA supporters.

All this “progressive” media noisemaking with no actual substance reminds me of an old commercial:

Funny. Not a word about this on CNN

That average Democrat voters don’t know and don’t care and won’t be persuaded to vote against those ordering and encouraging this pretty much tells us what we can expect.

Try it yourself. Tell one and see if their response isn’t one of subject-changing and counter-accusation.

Does anybody see anything particularly “sensitive” about a painting that hangs in the National Army Museum and illustrates the core reason behind “our beautiful Second Amendment”?

Yo, Donald Trump: Your platform was supposed to be different. (As was your presidency until you started up with bump stocks and “take the guns first/due process later.”)

Will sucking up for the Google Play app mean it’s not?

From the Department of Retroactive Crime

“The current president should not be able to waive the executive privilege of a predecessor, without the consent of the former president. Otherwise, [privilege] means nothing. What president will ever discuss anything in private if he knows the man who beat him can and will disclose it.” [More]

Like Precrime, only with hindsight!

A Real Red Flag

“Governor Hochul made the announcement in Suffolk County where the County Sheriff’s Office is reporting a more than 75 percent increase in utilization of the Red Flag Law over the last three months.” [More]

And, of course, they’ll be prepared to handle the increased caseload to preclude drawn-out delays with rights denied…? I wonder if anyone will be keeping track of people caught up in the net being victimized…

Take the guns first, due process second,” Mr. President?
