Well, they nabbed one of them…for another crime. [More]
Alvin’s interested in power through agenda advancement, not public safety.
Who would be dumb enough to think otherwise?

We’re the Only Ones Indemnified Enough
Donald Trump’s promise to “restore law and order” by indemnifying police officers “against any and all liability” appeals to that sentiment, even as it underestimates the difficulty of successfully suing police officers and overlooks the fact that cops already are routinely indemnified against damages when plaintiffs manage to overcome the barrier created by qualified immunity. [More]
Yet much of the non-critical thinking audience practically orgasmed when he announced it.
USA! USA!

Trump/NRA Mutual Love Fest: Long on Promises, Short on Memory
The former president and — legal challenges aside — presumed GOP contender for the office in November, knew just which buttons to push to stoke the boundless enthusiasm of the thousands of supporters. [More]
This is what we’ve got to work with. And work we must.

I’m Back
I left suddenly on Thursday because I’d just gotten my press credentials approved to hear Donald Trump speak at NRA’s Great American Outdoor Show and had to get to Harrisburg, PA.
I spent yesterday writing it up for Firearms News.

Ammo for the Enemy
Magliocca watched as Republicans such as Sens. Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney described the attack as an “insurrection.” [More]
Ah, the same “Republican leaders” all in on the Schumer invasion plot…
It’s almost like controlled opposition or something…

Trump/RFK Jr Team Up Would Betray Gun Owners
It would be a “yuge” mistake. Knowing the truth about Kennedy’s historic support for citizen disarmament would take the fire out of a lot of gun-owning voters’ bellies. [More]
Stop me if you’ve heard about Trump’s advisors giving him crap advice before. Would you really vote to put someone who doesn’t trust you with guns a heartbeat away from the presidency?

Trump-Carroll Judge Was ‘Mentor’ to E. Jean’s Lawyer, Conflict of Interest Appeal Expected. [More]
Why was this a surprise to his high-priced lawyer?
And the stupid, biased jurors remind me of this lynch mob.

Empty Threat?
President Trump Calls on ‘All Willing States’ to Deploy Their National Guards to Texas to Defend U.S-Mexico Border as Red State Alliance Grows to 25 [More]
While the rest of his statement plays well with MAGA voters, calling for that and not having checked to see if anyone would do it seems like more of the same impulsiveness that is one of his most vulnerable flaws, and can’t serve well in his current legal cases.

The Neutral Zone
“Now she’s got to sharpen her message… she’s got a month to make her case,” noted Reed, who is once again neutral in the GOP nomination after helping to steer a super PAC that was supporting former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s unsuccessful 2024 campaign. [More]
Right. A “Never Trumper” Vichycon Christie supporter is “neutral.”
I also see Faux News’ Paul Steinhauser made a point of throwing sand on frontrunner momentum and emphasizing “Iowa’s low-turnout Republican presidential caucuses” and “the former president’s nearly twelve point margin over Haley was below what most of the final public opinion surveys conducted ahead of the primary had suggested.”
With “real reporter” layoffs becoming a thing, I guess he’s trying to stay competitive with AI…

Ex-IRS Consultant Took Job With Intention Of Stealing Trump’s Tax Returns: DOJ [More]
How is it that a consultant can get carte blanche instead of controlled access to limited files pertaining to a contract with authorization safeguards?
And when are they going to prosecute the co-conspirator receivers of stolen information, like The New York Times and ProPublica?

Never Trumper Claims Donald Trump Wants His Own Mercenary Force [More]
The election interferers are just throwing everything out there to see if any of it will stick. At this writing, the ever-subversive Drudge is still highlighting the Carville slander that Trump’s red finger means he has syphillis.

How to Grow Low-Hanging Fruit
Assassination attempts are on the rise worldwide — is the US next? [More]
Council on Foreign Relations tough feeder and “greatest threat” Cassandra Jacob Ware certainly sounds like he hopes so, and even justifies schadenfreude for Donald Trump.
So the answer to the title is “First you plant seeds.”
Anybody who cites the Pelosi and Kavanaugh cases knows that.
