Notes from the Resistance
After:
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?
‘You have to run’: Romney urged Biden to take down Trump, book says [More]
But he happily accepted the endorsement.
What a snake.
Oz alters stance on whether Trump won 2020 election [More]
Yeah, it sure looks like he’s “very precise with the words” he uses. I wonder how precise The Donald was.
This is what I mean by having the GOP not blow it.
Oz says he would have certified Biden’s win over Trump [More]
Mattis, Milley, Barr, Wray… guy sure knows how to pick ’em.
So what should gun owners expect if Oz decides being associated with them in any way has become a political liability?

Gun owners on FBI’s Trump raid: ‘We told you so’ [More]
Some of us tried to tell him so, too.
“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!

Yeah, Trump’s Dr. Oz Endorsement Probably Cost Us the Senate [More]
Well, the Scarecrow did call the Wizard a humbug.
So he may not get a chance to betray us?
Still, it’s fair to ask, in a race that will be dominated by the urban vote, how the hell do you lose to an opponent who pulled a shotgun on an unarmed black jogger?
“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?

That speculation came in part amid widening knowledge about how the FBI might have established probable cause that there was a crime being committed at Mar-a-Lago using new or recent information – to prevent the probable cause from going “stale” – through a confidential informant. [More]
DEVELOPING: Sources say the FBI agents and officials who were involved in the raid on former President Trump’s home work in the same CounterIntelligence Division of the FBI that investigated Trump in the Russiagate hoax and are actively under criminal investigation by Special Counsel John Durham for potentially abusing their power investigating Trump in the Russian fraud and therefore have a potential conflict of interest and should have been RECUSED from participating in this supposed “espionage” investigation at Mar-a-Lago.

“Sources”?
Then again, sometimes that’s all you can go with at the start of an exposé.
I tried to find more on this before posting to see what kind of evidence Paul Sperry has, but I don’t see anything on his landing page yet and Twitter has seen fit to “suspend” his account.
Unlike what they do with jihadists who make online threats.

It’s foot-dragging reminiscent of the feds’ hunt for Whitey Bulger, the serial-killing brother of the most powerful Democrat politician in the state. [More]

“Mark my words here: There will be a moment when President Trump is giving one of his big speeches somewhere and the FBI will storm the stage,” Starnes said. “They will arrest the president on national television and drag him away. That’s how all of this will end up.” [More]
Be funny if someone forgets to order the Secret Service detail to stand down…

A careful review of the official transcripts of its eight long hearings shows the committee repeatedly made connections that weren’t there, took events and quotes out of context, exaggerated the violence of the Capitol rioters, and omitted key exculpatory evidence otherwise absolving former President Donald Trump of guilt. While in some cases, it lied by omission, in others, it lied outright. It also made a number of unsubstantiated charges based on the secondhand accounts—hearsay testimony—of a young witness with serious credibility problems. [More]
So who are you going to heed to form an opinion on Liz Cheney? These guys or Kevin Costner?

FBI Director Wray pushes back on threats following unprecedented raid on Trump [More]
Channeling his inner Hillary, is he?
Why not? He’d channeled his inner Blumenthal before he was even confirmed.

Be very suspicious of anything you hear in the media attributable to anonymous sources. The supposed leaks from unidentified persons supposedly with knowledge are either FBI/DOJ whispering in the ear of reporter-scribes which may or may not reflect reality, or people who don’t have actual knowledge, or sources who exist only in the imagination of the reporters. It’s all an unreliable web of deception. [More]

The only way to fight back is to make the kinds of people who’ve weaponized and undermined the American state suffer for their actions. They’ve arrested their enemies, revived obscure rules as pretexts for partisan attacks, and raided their opponents’ homes, and they won’t be sorry until they’ve felt the same pain. [More]

Trumpworld is abuzz with speculation about which close aide or aides has “flipped” and provided additional sensitive information to the FBI about what former President Trump was keeping at Mar-a-Lago, sources tell Axios. [More]

Leftists freak out over one word concerning FBI at Trump’s home … It’s a “search,” not a “raid.” [More]
