President Donald Trump is expected to end an Obama-era program that shielded young people from deportation, but he will likely let the immigrants known as Dreamers stay in the United States until their work permits run out, according to multiple people familiar with the policy negotiation.

Petition Asks Trump to Intervene on FBI’s Denial of FOIA Request on Hillary Clinton
The fact that careerists with the FBI still feel secure enough under the Trump administration to keep swamp levels rising should trouble all who voted for the president because they believe in the agenda he articulated while campaigning.

[Via bondmen]
What Explanation Could There Possibly Be?
When reflexively anti-American, anti-military outlets like Mother Jones, Slate and the Washington Post offer fawning praise for a Republican military commander, the reasons underlying those plaudits deserve further investigation. When anti-American, anti-military, George Soros-funded, extreme leftist smear operations like Media Matters go to war to defend a Trump political appointee, it casts a shadow on everything about the man. When the anti-American, terrorism-supporting, Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated CAIR defends an American general, the alarm bells drown out all other sound. And officers who have witnessed his “leadership” in the unforgiving crucible of combat are now sounding the alarm. [More]A routine quote around here comes to mind.

Everytown Critique a Sign of ‘Trouble in Paradise’
Finding political common ground aside (NRA has a substantial Law Enforcement Division), the two groups have plenty of differences, and FOP has had a mixed record on citizen disarmament going back at least to the Handgun Control, Inc. days. They’ll also on occasion share interests, as when FOP joined ATF in opposing the release of trace data. Using Ranta’s “logic,” ATF must not be anti-gun enough, which kind of gives you an idea of infringements she’d like to see. [More]Even confiscation isn't good enough for those who demand their delusions be reality. Nothing is. Nothing can be.

Under Pressure?
A bill that would allow Alabama residents to carry concealed weapons without a permit is headed again to the Alabama Legislature, and the bill’s sponsor says the pressure will be on lawmakers who oppose it. [More]Will it be?
How many gun owners are in Alabama?
How many have contacted their representatives about this and actually applied some pressure? How many have ever contacted them, or know how to, or even know who their representatives are?
If the number of social media followers the state gun groups have is any indication of membership and advocacy involvement, there's more apathy than there is pressure.
Inherit the Wind
Breaking from a 34-year-old tradition, the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, announced Friday that it will not show Gone With the Wind in its future summer movie series because of the film’s “insensitive” racial content. [More]An ill wind is picking up force. And frankly, my dear, it'll be what you do give a damn about that it blows away next.
Define 'Winning'
You see, in their zeal to eradicate AR-15 features their state, law-abiding Californians who want the rifles are finding creative ways to get around the law. [More]Outfoxing and leaving the tyrants sputtering, are they? That creativity doesn't "get around" the core infringements though, does it?
As longtime friend and colleague Brian Puckett once noted:
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.Don't look for the "gun rights leaders" to ever admit how such widespread and focused contempt for a supposedly fundamental right is legislatively and judicially imposed in California.

That's why I've recommended stuff like RICO actions and "knew or should have known" civil suits against those financing subversives, among numerous other suggestions I doubt I'll ever see happen. I've actually been an advocate of using "the left's" laws against them for a long time and I'm sure I could come up with a dozen examples if I didn't have other stuff to do right now.
In terms of a broader and more detailed plan, lacking a crystal ball and, importantly, unified leadership with resources, I'm pretty much stuck in the same place as everyone else and must make do with hoping my preparations, alliances and reactive adaptations get me and mine through as far as they can against whatever "wicked this way comes."

A quick head count of the Senate shows that bill essentially dead on arrival.

Take his phone!”Yet the meme being shoved down everyone's throats, and enthusiastically exploited by establishment "Republicans," is Trump was wrong to say the commie side had its share of culpability.
It's pretty clear that conditions are being set up to provoke an armed response, and that "crisis" in turn will be used to justify more controls on guns and on everything.
