Notes from the Resistance...
"[T]o the extent this statute outright prohibits, under criminal penalty, individuals from possessing electronic arms, is declared unconstitutional in that it violates the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and shall not be enforced." [More]This can be used to challenge a similar ban in New York.
Clearly the U.S Government version of events is sorely lacking in accuracy. [More]I've got questions but don't pretend to know the answers.
“I’ve heard a lot of stupid things [but] comparing fugitive slaves to illegal immigrants is the gold standard of stupidity.” [More]Which explains constituents who vote such creatures into power.
"For an unknown reason, the officer threw the pedestrian to the ground and began striking him in the face with his hand multiple times," the SPD statement said. [More]Yeah, who did he think he was dealing with -- a girl?
Retired Brigadier General Dr. Stephen Xenakis says that's one scenario that makes climate change a threat to national security. [More]Hey, if we can't take our lead on this from someone with American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry credentials, who can we take our lead from?
Secret A.T.F. Account Paid for $21,000 Nascar Suite and Las Vegas Trip [More]And they're still doubling down on oversight defiance:
The Justice Department, which oversees the A.T.F., has denied any wrongdoing, and the department has refused to say whether the bureau continues to operate such secret accounts, which the government called “management accounts.” The A.T.F. has also refused to say who authorized the account, which was created by agents based in Bristol, Va., who were investigating tobacco smuggling. One government official said the bureau regarded the account as a hybrid of government funds and private money, a combination that is not authorized under federal law. Ryan Kaye, an A.T.F. supervisor, is quoted in public court documents as saying the agents received “verbal directives” from unidentified officials at headquarters to open the account.Between Sessions and Chaffetz, I'm wondering where the hell are the terminations, subpoenaes and charges.
The congressional Democrats thus echo the views of Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Chief Justice of California’s Supreme Court, a registered Republican nominated in 2010 by governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. [More]Well then she must be OK, because Arnhole was endorsed by California's NRA affiliate, and we all know this has nothing to do with that "single issue."
2 women arrested in stabbing sparked by fight over parking spot at Rouge Park [More]That reminds me, whatever happened to all that blood in the streets over fender-benders courtesy of concealed carriers?
Cars have turned into deadly weapons. They have been easy to steal and then nothing has been able to stop their advance. In Nice, Berlin, Jerusalem, London and Stockholm they have been used as effective murder machines terrorists who wanted to kill many people. If people in the future will be protected cars must simply removed from the collection sites and city centers. It is not reasonable for a big truck can be driven right into Stockholm's popular walking street on a Friday afternoon just before Easter. Politicians have been good at protecting themselves, but now they must also ensure citizens' needs for secure environments. [More]And like they'renot already "regulated." And funny -- "progressives" place the same blame on guns.
Aftonbladet's editorial is independently Socialist.Looks like the Swedes are feeling a need to reclaim a reputation for suicide preeminence, and in a big way.
The new study also found that non-white gun owners were at nearly three times the risk of having a firearm stolen though the authors noted that non-whites as a population are more often victims of burglaries and robberies in general.What I don't see given even passing thought is how many of those gun "owners" are actually just gun possessors, and how the numbers are driven by people associated in some way with criminals?
Still, the findings raise troubling questions about the effectiveness of fingerprint security on smartphones. [More]Or "smart guns"...
Harvard Researchers Are Preparing to Geoengineer the Atmosphere [More]Now wait just a damn minute here: If a "progressive" federal judge can require an environmental impact statement just for carrying concealed in national parks...
Migrants are being sold at open slave markets in Libya [More]On the plus side, no Swedes have been raped.
Republicans had to make an extraordinary 11th-hour investment—including robocalls by Mr. Trump—to hang on to a seat in a deep-red district that Mr. Trump had won in 2016 by 27 points... [More]Come on; it wasn't exactly a squeaker:
In the end, Estes prevailed with 53 percent to Thompson’s 45 percent. Libertarian candidate Chris Rockhold drew about 2 percent of the vote.And the answer for why it wasn't a total rout may be simpler than "newly energized liberals," who despite "record efforts" failed to overcome a nice guy who isn't exactly famous for being electrifying:
Burdett A. Loomis, a political science professor at Kansas University, said that in a normal year Mr. Estes wins, but predicted it will be a low turnout affair and that Democrats will have more enthusiasm. “He’s an unexciting candidate,” Mr. Loomis said, alluding to Mr. Estes. “Honestly, he’s a stiff.”As for the starry-eyed new evangelist in Atlanta that the story in the first link profiles, her One Percenter "man of the people" candidate (backed by the guy who leads House floor sit-ins demanding a state monopoly of violence and the guy who thinks Guam is going to tip over), if he does win, it will have less to do with an indignant galvanized snowflake juggernaut, and more to do with premeditated cultural terraforming (and, based on out-of-state donations, no small amount of Yankee carpetbagging).
Note what it didn’t say? What additional laws they want. They’re intentionally vague because they know they can offer no specifics, especially when you consider the murders happened in a “gun-free zone” in “top-rated” California. And they’re not ready to take off the mask and admit what they really want is a total state monopoly of violence. [More]The purpose of the blood dance is to gin up "feelings" of helplessness and fear in the useful idiots, to build momentum for the next "gain" toward the goal.
