Notes from the Resistance
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.
Tangentially Related UPDATE
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.
UPDATE
[Via bondmen]
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.

Well, that took all of 30 seconds.
About the same amount of time as it takes a reader to leave a comment and do nothing. About the same amount of time to read this far…
“As Commander in Chief, this is a pen-and-a-phone moment for you,” CDT asserted. “No rogue federal judge has the power to stop you. Do it this week, and take one more easy Win.” [More]
Will any “gun rights groups” add their voices? Why or why not? How about just plain gun owners like …you?
GUARANTEEING FAIR BANKING FOR ALL AMERICANS [More]
The rope-selling capitalists have been banking on disarmament for a long time. A long time.
You can deposit those checks now, Teagan…
Questions: Will this apply to anti-gun payment processors making decisions on their own without bureaucratic regulatory pressure? And anybody know if and how Merchant Category Codes may be affected?
More “geeky banking details” here…

He is a snarling, vicious, grotesque avatar who says the things you believe and hurts the people you want to hurt,” Pavlovitz seethed. [More]
They want you dead just as much as they want him.
President Trump promised to allow weapons carry (and later CCW) by military personnel on bases way back in 2015 [More]
If not now, when? Why not ask him?
This gives Cuomo the chance to be the candidate who can turn the page, and lift us out of hating each other. [More]
You really don’t get it, do you, David Marcus?
Army secretary hails ‘heroism’ of soldiers who tackled alleged Fort Stewart shooter: ‘Absolutely saved lives’- Six soldiers put themselves in harm’s way when Sergeant Quornelius Radford allegedly shot five people at Georgia base [More]
And President Trump says “the perpetrator of the shooting at the Fort Stewart military base in Georgia will be ;prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’’’
A question, if it’s not too impertinent:
What happened to noises Trump 1.0 was making seven years ago “to Allow Troops to Carry Personal Weapons on Bases”…?
I hope that merits a more intelligent and responsive MAGA rejoinder than “Would you rather have Kamala?”
Obama’s ‘palace coup’ explained [More]
Tyrants want power and depending on the level of personal risk involved will resort to force or fraud to get it.
Am I close?
Bovard: Waco, Epstein, & Washington’s War On Truth [More]
As the author notes and asks: “Govt. coverups are a conspiracy against self-government. Both Waco and the Epstein scandals exemplify how deceit is the D.C. default. Why is Trump sacrificing his credibility to shroud the worst pedophile scandal in US history?”
