Notes from the Resistance
Eric Adams eyed by Trump for Saudi Arabia ambassadorship – NYC mayor is facing pressure to quit his campaign for a second term. [More]
So give a boost to gun-grabber Cuomo? Be funny if Trump ends up endorsing the Democrat.
It all boils down to elites and their money.
As a “gun voter,” I say let New York continue its descent and the hell with them.
And don’t get me started on “Republican” Sliwa.
These lands belong to the people, and the people have the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
As Commander-in-Chief, this would be an easy and very popular fix with gun owners. Republicans facing midterms and “gun rights” groups take note how this would benefit you and get behind this now.
David Hogg: Trump Is a ‘Damn Coward’ For Not Changing Gun Laws [More]
Says the loudmouth who expects others to do his confiscations for him.
He doesn’t understand separation of powers, does he, not that any branch doing it would result in what they expect.
And this is CNN.

Trump suggests ‘distinguished’ ex-military teachers could carry weapons at schools [More]
So… a new category of “Only Ones“…?
That’s not a FASTER requirement, and the program’s been working great.
It’s not a 2A requirement, either.
I gotta get this serial administration cheerleader some pom poms.

Fortunately, there’s a Constitutional alternative:
H.R. 5066: Safe Students Act – To repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and amendments to that Act.
If at first you don’t succeed…
Unfortunately:
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
That and the guy floating unequal protection calls Massie “a third-rate Grandstander” (as opposed, I suppose, to a first-rate one?) and wants him out.

NYC woman busted for threatening to kill President Trump is quietly released by Obama-appointed judge [More]

Federal judge rules Trump violated military law by activating National Guard in California – Judge Charles Breyer’s opinion echoed remarks he made during a three-day trial in which he questioned if presidents have any limits on when they can use the military [More]
I have Constitutional concerns about overreach, too, but this is different.
If a judge has personal skin in the game that makes impartiality impossible, isn’t he supposed to recuse himself?
Senior District Judge Charles R. Breyer, in violation of his oath of office, did knowingly and willfully use his judicial position to advance political gain while interfering with the President’s constitutional prerogatives and enforcement of the rule of law.
Why doesn’t this “news” story, affecting voter perception, mention that?
Do any?
And what’s in it for Democrats to let violence and chaos reign?
Hypocrisy was on full display on Wednesday’s Morning Joe as New York Times columnist David French joined the MSNBC show to discuss how Democrats should respond to President Trump on crime. Despite all the claims that Trump would be abusing his authority if he deployed the National Guard to blue cities, French, who, despite endorsing Kamala Harris, fancies himself as one of the few remaining principled conservatives left in America, advised Democrats to blame Trump for the 2020 crime crisis.

Trump previously attempted to impose voter ID via an executive order earlier this year in a wider election integrity action. In April, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia struck down the portions of that order that related to voter identification requirements. [More]
That’s because she’s a treasonous anti-gun gynocrat who invents rules from the bench because no one has dragged her from it.
Crime is down and the enemy is furious. What’s not to like? At the risk of infuriating MAGA loyalists, in a word, infringements. [More]
Which plan will you go with? Help the administration see where it’s going off the rails and needs a course correction, or kill the messenger?
Fox host Trey Gowdy: “We’re going to have to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children. How many school shootings does it take before we’re going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out of — it’s always a young white male, almost always.” [More]
Yeah, except see the comments that follow.
Just in case anybody thought this fraud was a “conservative”…
Oh, look: Here he is “proving” he’s “one of us.”
And here he is weasel-wording for infringements.
So, naturally, Donald Trump has nothing but effusive praise for the guy. (But let Gowdy publicly criticize him and look how quickly he’ll be called a “loser.”)
[Via several of you]
We all know how the Dems will react. But, what will Trump do? [More]
This. He’s not stupid. He won’t do more.
Which means he won’t promote this.
Trump to allow 600,000 Chinese students entry to US for college as trade talks with China press on [More]
That’s capital ‘C’ and it rhymes with ‘T’…
So… military age, huh?
Just in case anyone’s into numbers, that’s more than the active duty troops total for the spread-across-the-globe Army and Marine Corps combined…
This 3D chess makes my head hurt.

What’s that word for the state owning the means of production again…?
Talk about gun control! This is what some are calling “pragmatic”? This line in particular recalls nothing so much as what Captain Kirk said to Jojo Krako:
Such ownership would not dictate policy from above, nor should it. But it would create a built-in incentive for the government to preserve a healthy firearms ecosystem.
Who’s dictatin’? We’re incentivizin’!
Good grief.
D.C. Democrats Are Furious At Trump For Stopping All The Homicides [More]
I see the Demanding Moms are all for letting the “gun violence” to continue:
And yes, of course it’s a choice.

Trump Says He Supports Expanding Concealed Carry to D.C. [More]
Great. So do I.
But there are some concerns about how he’s going about the “cleanup” that a few of us are concerned about that his apologists are dismissing as the gripes of disgruntled naysayers who only focus on the bad and ignore everything good he’s done.
I’m working on something to address all that.

In a stunning and alarming development, U.S. Attorney Judge Jeanine Pirro confirmed that a woman traveling from New York to Washington, D.C., was arrested for plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump. [More]
Tell us who. Show us her social media. Name her Democrat influencers.

This week in Washington, D.C., a federal judge made a ruling so shocking, so unprecedented, that it flips the First Amendment on its head. Judge Trevor N. McFadden declared that the Israeli flag — with the Star of David at its center — is not a political symbol at all, but a racial one. [More]
But have at Old Glory…
And what happened to “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion…”?
Dozens of ATF Agents Descend on DC Neighborhoods as Part of Trump Takeover [More]
I don’t suppose they’ll be charged with what they do with the guns so much as just having them, so before cheering this on, “send not for whom the bell tolls…”
“No law-abiding citizen should have to wait months before he or she can register their firearms, or obtain a concealed carry permit”… [More]
No citizen should be required to do either.
I really get tired of being a critic. I wish our “leaders” would give me less to criticize.
If anyone wants to give a lecture on increments, you’ve got the whole rest of the internet to do it at.
[T]he Department of Justice [is] fighting the so-called non-resident handgun ban that says that you cannot take a possession of a handgun in a state in which you are not a resident from an FFL. That’s right. This law is being challenged down there in Texas and the Department of Justice has just responded arguing that the law is indeed constitutional under our Second Amendment. Is it? [Watch]
Of course not.
Either the AUSA signing onto that is a still-embedded Democrat purposely undermining Pam Bondi’s memo, or it’s all smoke and mirrors and she was just telling gun owners what they wanted to hear to keep them corralled.
And so much for the new “Pro-gun” ATF mandarin NSSF is gushing over.
In either case, it once more illustrates that until the 2A Task Force includes actual 2A advocates instead of just government employees beholden to their masters, we can continue to expect DOJ bipolarity, with aggressive MAGA Über Alles types asking if we’d rather have Kamala.
There’s a reason the rice bowl gun groups aren’t demanding a seat at the table. They’ve been showering him with flattery and simultaneously walking on eggshells, afraid to p!$$ off a mercurial Trump, lest he condemn them and cast them out.
