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.

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?”

The report, ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveals that the Secret Service received classified intelligence regarding a threat to Trump’s life 10 days before the rally, but failed to share the information with other key agencies. [More]
So THAT explains ordinary people seeing the shooter before they did and not going up on that “sloped roof”…
It’s hard to believe they’re this lazy and incompetent and that no one who knows what they’re doing has taken advantage of that.

It’s doesn’t look like Musk’s America Party will provide the safe haven to jump to that some gun owners are knee-jerk responding to… [More]
What ship will angry gun owners be jumping to?
Law-abiding citizens should have the right to responsibly own firearms without excessive government interference. [More]
That sounds like some shallow appeal-to-those-who -don’t-think-it-through weasel wording right there.
What about when being “law-abiding” means surrendering that “fundamental aspect of our freedom and security”? And how is any government interference with that which shall not be infringed not excessive?
And yeah– so much for “America First.”
Thomas Massie has failed us. He voted against cutting taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. He even voted NO on protecting children from AI-generated child exploitation.
This is a crafted misrepresentation. That first part is in the debt increase package. In the second, he saw unintended consequences in unelected Melania’s pet legislative process and Speaker Johnson would not allow amendments.
It’s all part of the all too familiar politics of personal destruction, where, “yuge” ego seeks revenge on any who oppose, support is bestowed on supplicants who fawn, and attacks are ad hominem logical fallacies.
This is what Trump wants to replace Massie with, and cultists in the 4th District are falling for it? I’m not trusting that poll, because right now she only has 53 Truth followers and 176 on Facebook. One suggested she’d get more exposure on X, but I think her campaign is afraid of the rationing she’d get from Constitutionalists sick of all the BS.
Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz — putting one-fifth of world’s oil supply at risk [More]
And Trump promises more if they retaliate.
So much for “We’re just going to take out the nukes, honest.”
Did someone way “regime change“?
Let’s see, how do they retaliate?
We strike military targets. They target civilians.
Let’s see what happens to that “increasing appetite” when their people here start doing that. Speaking of which, file this under “WTF?”
I want the Constitution observed. Since this affects me and mine, I want my representatives to weigh in. Calling someone who agrees with that a “pathetic loser” is ad hominem, a logical fallacy. It does not speak well to position or character.
Oh, and I’d like to see the evidence.
Still, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge how we got to this point.

H.Con.Res. 38: Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran… Prognosis
24% chance of being agreed to [More]
Seems to me ignoring the Constitutional delegation of the power to declare war to Congress has produced nothing but catastrophe since the end of WWII. If we’re going to risk WWIII, I want to have a say in it through my representatives.
It’s both amazing and depressing to see how knee-jerk hostile many self-identified MAGA types get on social media at the suggestion that we might just want to listen to the Founders on this. Ditto for some gun owners, who aren’t grokking a text, history, and tradition parallel…
I guess they’re ready for martial law, ration cards, and suspension of rights. Either that or they think it will always just be something we see on the news.
Very few seem to be asking “Cui bono?” or connecting dots to the “Deep State” Trump campaigned against.
We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now… Our patience is wearing thin. [More]
What you mean “We”?
The release also said the Trump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, which was described as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.” [More]
So, unlike with Teslas, where enraged psychopaths will vandalize them when nobody’s around, when will we see readily identifiable Trump gold phone users confronted in person, and attacked?
Related story: Elder feral son Uday with his wife and daughter joined her parents for a west coast vacation recently, and the father-in-law rented a Tesla truck– I think they’re ugly but it was pretty cool seeing videos of the dang thing driving itself, which he says takes some getting used to.
I asked him if anybody did anything to intimidate them and he said a few people gave them the finger. That alone is something I just can’t wrap my head around, but I suppose asking “What the hell is wrong with leftists?” is one of those questions we could spend a lifetime on and still not have an answer.

Just as stupid as giving the president unquestioning full-throated support, because he’s perfectly happy to fill those throats whenever it suits him.
