Notes from the Resistance
The Daily Beast on Wednesday published a story appearing to criticize Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approval of executions for five veterans found guilty of rape and murder. [More]

There is something that is in DeSantis’ power to do that can mitigate that danger without having to rely on oath-breaking Republican power players… [More]
One simple, proactive order that is within the governor’s power to issue could minimize the chances of lawful open carriers being endangered by police ignorance of the law.
Ron DeSantis Mocks State GOP’s Lack of Support for Open Carry: ‘Are We Florida or Are We San Francisco?’ [More]
That’s what years of supporting “the lesser of two evils” vs. taking a hit now and sending an unequivocal message to the party for who they’d better put up next time gets us.
Then again, what the hell do I know?

REPORTER: Why are you pushing to loosen firearm restrictions in Florida?
DESANTIS: “Well, I would say I am vindicating people’s constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. We always have an obligation to do that.” [More]
Who’s the idiot “reporter”?
And when are the Vichycons in the Florida legislature going to give DeSantis something to sign?

Florida’s “stand your ground” provisions won’t give them a pass from prosecution if there’s a question of legality, or if a Democrat DA decides there’s ginned up anger they can exploit. [More]
But when it’s all said and done, “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by six” applies.
Hurricane guns: DeSantis orders no suspensions, no limits on gun sales during storm [More]
It’s ridiculous that this is even an issue, but government…
What kind of absolute statist moron would disarm the people at the time they needed to protect themselves the most?
Ol’ Don Hagan sure made a permanent name for himself, didn’t he?

Recent operations by the FBI and prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice has led to federal convictions for Florida residents accused of buying high-powered guns to arm the gangs in Haiti… “These international gangs and these criminal organizations have very sophisticated means and networks to be able to facilitate smuggling, whether it’s through shipments, out of the ports, airlines, different things like that…” [More]
I notice how it is “international gangs” are in this country in the first place is left unexplored.
Better to let NBC News of rigged flaming truck notoriety blame DeSantis…

This puts journalists in an interesting position. If I reach out to the neighbor for her side of the story, a judge can jail Jeremy. In essence, a judge in Florida is restricting the right of the press to get to the heart of a story through threats of removing the liberty of the subject of the story… One of the worst things the judge has done to Jeremy and his girlfriend is to restrict Jeremy’s movements on his own property without hearing the facts of the case…Worse, his Second Amendment rights have been removed with no evidentiary hearing to decide if he is actually a threat. Meanwhile, he says he’s been threatened by the neighbor and her associates with all manner of bodily harm. He is also prohibited from hiring security due to the injunction, as he cannot be around anyone with guns. [More]
That would be Judge Craig C. DeThomasis, a DeSantis appointee.
At least we know where to turn up the heat.

White gunman who shot three Black victims legally acquired weapons after Ron DeSantis recently allowed permitless carry [More]
Yeah, I remember how thrilled we all were when Ohio passed a similar law saying “Constitutional carry” meant we could also murder groups we hate after being involuntarily committed and released!

Nolte: Ron DeSantis’s First Act as a Presidential Candidate Was to Ignore Establishment Media [More]
I know everybody is laughing at the technical glitches. That’s to distract focus from how revolutionary bypassing the DSM and making them come to you on your terms is, and how that terrifies those who are starting to realize the implications.
Ron DeSantis staff eating cake while Floridians are in crisis. [More]
Sometimes ignoring an aggressive dog and letting it know you don’t think it’s important enough to notice can make it rethink if it really wants to attack you. Of course, if you’re going to try this, I recommend also being able to kick its @$$ if that doesn’t work.
I just wanted to equate these subversive losers with dogs.
And I guess that means an apology will be expected: to dogs.
