Notes from the Resistance...
He acknowledged the decision to remove the word “informal” from the regulatory text regarding hearings was a quiet victory. “They would lure people into coming to the hearing and saying ‘Hey, we’re all friends here,’ when that was far from the case. [More]You mean the word intentionally missing from "We're from the government and we're here to help" is "ourselves"...?
The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman. [More]One question: Has she always been from Pennsylvania?
“We’re concerned about this,” said Karen Sheley, the director of the Police Practices Project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois. “There’s a database of citizens built on unknown factors, and there’s no way for people to challenge being on the list. How do you get on the list in the first place? We think it’s dangerous to single out somebody based on secret police information.” [More]No, of course the Opposite Day "progressive" isn't objecting to the "No Guns" list.
Mother who 'shot herself' dead in sheriff deputy boyfriend's house was actually MURDERED and suffered broken jaw before the gun was fired, bombshell autopsy reveals [More]It seems there ought to be a Facebook category to update your relationship status to that's a bit more descriptive than just "single."
...Kayla Johnson, the daughter of Juanita Johnson, who serves as the Chicago Police Department’s Director of Administration... [More]I wish The Man would stop keeping her down.
D.C. Attorney General Ignores Court Order, Refuses Gun Permits [More]I'm looking for a seven-letter words, starts with a "t," describing a government that compels obedience based on coercive force instead of law...
Campaign to get Jake Ryan out of prison. Federal insanity refuses to grant bail to youth who went to Burns, Oregon to see if he could help. [More]Well how else do you expect the Keepers to cow the rest of us into submission if you don't make an example out of wrong thinkers?
Disarmament of South African Police Service [More]You think there aren't those here that have similar plans and more? Just because Polyphemus said he's going to eat you last doesn't mean he's not going to eat you.
A woman wearing a “Stop Domestic Violence” t-shirt was arrested on domestic violence charges after firing a gun during an argument with her husband inside the couple’s Maine home, police report. [More]What I want to know is why he didn't just take it away from her, which is what "common sense gun safety law advocates" say would happen.
Trump and Sanders agree to debate before California primary [More]If Hillary decides she now wants in, they both ought to tell her she had her chance and rejected it, and that she'll just have to wait 'til next time.
Prescription pain killers: far riskier than gun ownership [More]Gosh, if only there were some way to register and track them. Maybe we need to add waiting periods, or limit purchases to one pill a month...
More than 1,300 students at the Midwestern liberal arts college have now signed a petition asking that the college get rid of any grade below a C for the semester, and some students are requesting alternatives to the standard written midterm examination, such as a conversation with a professor in lieu of an essay. The students say that between their activism work and their heavy course load, finding success within the usual grading parameters is increasingly difficult. [More]Mein kampf!

Memos on Alleged Saudi-Affiliated Support of the 9/11 Attacks [More]Minus 28 "classified" pages, of course.
Disgusting, worse because it's not surprising. FBI had an informant living with two of the terrorists. Of course, like Sergeant Schultz in Hogan's Heroes, he supposedly knew nothing, and he was unavailable for interview. The Jihadis were well hooked up with the Saudi government, princes, diplomats, etc. To the extent the Saudi govt & ruling class wasn't directly responsible, it's still responsible for creating the conditions for Saudis to organize the attack, spreading and funding anti-Western and anti-Jewish hate, madrasas and so forth.
Even now, few people ask why so many millions of Muslims are here in the first place, when there were virtually none before 1960. The neo"con" game is to literally treat the "war on terror" like a game with a handicap: Keeping Muslims out in the first place would be too easy. No challenge, no fun, no material for idiot shows like "24", and most importantly: no excuse for preemptive quagmires, foreign adventures, "nation-building" scams, or a massive "security" state that tracks and spies and gropes American citizens and treats us all as potential terror suspects. So the game is, flood the USA with millions of Muslims, then try to nip the inevitable attacks in the bud. With millions of immigrants belonging to an inherently violent, intolerant, aggressive, oppressive religion, a large percentage of whom therefore support Sharia and Jihad (even many "moderates" sympathize with terrorists - and breed them), it's impossible to stop all the attacks. But the few attacks that slip through keep Americans on our toes, eagerly bent over for more "security", preemptive quagmires, foreign adventures, corrupt "nation-building" scams, and a bigger Military Industrial Complex. Doctor's Orders! And the neo"cons" can say we need to bring in even more Muslims to help us "fight" the "war on terror" and foil "homegrown" attacks by the Muslims they already brought in. Finally the icing on the caca, Republicans get "cheap labor", PC-whipped neo"con" prostitutes like David Petraeus can sell their souls, Democrats get future votes and accelerated, irreversible "multicultural" terraforming. Win-win-win!
