Notes from the Resistance
Regardless of the recent changes in Minnesota law related to marijuana, an individual who is a current user of marijuana is prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition. [More]
It’s not like the prohibition affects anyone important.
Besides, Fudd Sense Candidate Tim Walz is fine with that.

The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned. [More]
I remember that scene…
“Where’s the media outrage,” you ask…?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE
Despite showing nine Biden family members allegedly receiving funds from corrupt figures in Romania, China and other countries, The New Republic quickly ran a story headlined “Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden.” [More]
And that’s why I call ’em the DSM.

I notice they’re still beating the Secret Service cover-up drum.
I sure wish House Oversight would compel some testimony to find out if the affidavit denying their involvement that the Secret Service sent me to get my complaint dropped is a smoking gun that can bring administration people down, or if saying they were is just an allegation Republicans can still wring some political mileage out of.
Because there’s no third choice.
There’s a way to the truth if anyone’s interested.

Woman Who Lied About Drugs During Gun Purchase Sent To Prison: What about Hunter? [More]
The way comments are dominated by redirection to take the focus off the article followed by interminable petty squabbles and name-calling sure works in ATF’s favor here.
See my sidebar “Comment House Rules.” I won’t allow that here.
Anybody doesn’t like it can have all their money back.
Biden claimed in a presidential debate that the laptop story was “garbage” and part of a “Russian plan.” Biden used the letter to say “nobody believes” that the laptop is real. [More]
Biden and his backer lied to illegitimately “win” the election. Opposing that is not insurrection. Supporting it is.
The thing is, even knowing that Democrats will excuse it and vote for him again if he’s the choice.

In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect. [More]
This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”
“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…
Federal prosecutors have considered four possible charges against Hunter Biden – Possible charges are two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, a single felony count of tax evasion and a felony count related to a gun purchase. [More]
If they do choose the latter — and I doubt they will — find one report that specifically called out lying on a 4473 that came out before this one. Being “just a blogger” and not a #realreporter, I don’t want to claim anything that turns out not to be true.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said then-candidate Joe Biden wrongly made the letter from 51 intelligence officials claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation “seem organic” despite allegedly knowing his soon-to-be State Department chief helped “strategize” it… that letter that became the basis for suppressing the story and keeping it from the American people just days before the most important election we have”… [More]
So Democrats did steal the election…?

DOJ Openly Ignores Hunter Biden’s Ties to International Arms Trafficker Who Sold Grenade Launchers, Anti-Tank Missiles [More]
HEY, LOOK EVERYBODY: STORMY DANIELS! And the thought strikes that she hasn’t done anything to advance her career that Kamala Harris hasn’t done to advance hers. That and Merrick Garland’s the bigger whore.

Biden repeatedly says, “China is not a threat. We should welcome the rise of China. It is good not only for China but good for the United States that China is becoming more powerful. The fact is that they are not a threat to us.” [More]
They’re not still going to be paid off in dollars, are they?

In sum, § 922(d)(3) does not withstand Second Amendment scrutiny for much the same reasons that § 922(g)(3) does not. The law’s broad prohibition on the sale or transfer of firearms to unlawful users of controlled substances burdens the Second Amendment rights of those individuals to nearly the same extent as § 922(g)(3). And, as the Court found when assessing § 922(g)(3), our Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation does not support placing such a burden on the Second Amendment right. [More]
It would be rich if the person who ultimately got this part of the law overturned for good was Hunter Biden.

Mr. Holden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is under indictment and Mr. Holden answered no. [More]
Now try:
Mr. Biden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance and Mr. Biden answered no.
It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

The agency did confirm agents “visited StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply and asked to take possession of the paperwork Hunter had filled out to purchase a gun there. The FBI also had some involvement in the investigation.” [More]
No, it did not. That assertion was made by Ben Schrekinger of Politico, whose email was part of the package of “responsive documents” returned to Judicial Watch by the Secret Service. Their FOIA essentially came up empty.
And “‘Maybe we were asked for a favor?” is not a Daily Mail “Exclusive.” From the embed in my January 17 writeup:
I guess my question is, why is Judicial Watch just now getting around to releasing it?
Unfortunately, unless someone comes up with hard evidence that the Secret Service lied in their affidavit to me, these reports are much ado about nothing. Not that I expect the media to take notice of that or anything else I put out there that’s ahead of them…
The Society of Professional Journalists launched the Black Hole Award to highlight the most heinous violations of the public’s right to know. By exposing such abuses, SPJ’s Freedom of Information Committee seeks to educate the public about their rights and call attention to those who would interfere with openness and transparency. SPJ is accepting nominations through Feb. 19. Please email nominations to SPJ Region 10 Coordinator Donald W. Meyers. The “winner” will be announced during Sunshine Week, March 12-18. [More]
In one fell swoop, The Times has reversed its position not just on “background checks,” but if you think about it, on “red flag laws,” too. It’s evidently OK, if you’re the Democrat president’s son, to commit a felony and lie on the federal form because most of the time nobody gets prosecuted for it. And when you’re distraught to the point that those closest to you feel compelled to throw your gun away because you might kill yourself, nothing says “therapy” like buying a gun and going to the range! [More]
And if the Secret Service truly wasn’t involved, don’t you think voices a lot bigger than mine ought to be asking “Who were those guys?”

He said lawyers for the federal government admitted in court to having at least 400 pages of “potentially responsive” documents but are now saying they can “neither confirm nor deny” whether the records exist. [More]
Consider that the default position.
“Paranoid” Media Matters founder David Brock had bodyguards and an “executive assistant [who] carried a handgun to public events,” including in Washington, D.C. At the time of the report, that was illegal, meaning he could not have been “lawfully carrying.” Evidently, “progressive” elites believe “gun laws” they demand for the rest of us do not apply to them.

Legal bullying to chill exposing corruption doesn’t work on people who welcome the attempt to try.
I joined Bill Frady yesterday to talk about the Secret Service/Hunter Biden affidavit and ATF wanting to destroy Gunwalker guns:
Once more, the story missing from other reports that no one else is yet talking about: If the Secret Service has “100 records totaling over 400 pages,” why did they tell me — and by extension, the court — under penalty of perjury that they had none? [More]
How do you get away with lying on an affidavit? We may be about to find out. And the media won’t care.
