Next

A Fully Uninformed Jury
Jury finds man guilty of jury tampering after passing out juror rights pamphlets [More]Slaves judged a runaway.
One thing FIJA has not been successful at is getting the message outside the niche and into the general public consciousness. That's due to many reasons, most having to do with the establishment suppressing information via both the educational system and through the media.
I've long thought one way to help break through that would be to pick a state that has ballot measures and create one instructing jurors have a right to be told their nullification powers as part of the instructions.
It probably wouldn't pass, but it would sure get more people aware of the concept, and woudln't have to be prohibitively expensive.

In Harm's Way
Marines arrested at pro-Confederate rally with white nationalist regalia. [More]You gotta wonder what's not being told here. It'll be interesting to see how far this gets pushed and if these guys will be made examples of.

[More]Islamic rules, you know.
As an aside, is it just me, or is there a general avoidance by "progressive" Authorized Journalists against using of the word "holy" when it pertains to Christians?

Peer Pressure
John Lott is a one-man pro-gun research machine whose work has been cited nearly 200 times by the National Rifle Association. The problem? Many of his peers have major misgivings about his methods. [More]That must be why so many of the arttacks end up being ad hominem.
To Whom It May Concern

Come to Think of It, 40 Winks Wouldn't be Bad
Seventy-seven days into his administration, President Donald J. Trump delivered on his most important campaign promise to gun owners: nominating a Supreme Court justice who respects the Second Amendment. [More]I sure hope you're right Mr. Cox, but unless you've made some kind of backroom deal based on information the rest of us aren't privy to, you can't possibly know that.
Still, I see he's using one of my favorite Fairfaxisms:
And Second Amendment advocates in particular can sleep soundly...Are you sleeping, bourgeoisie?
Now is not the time for sleeping. Isn't that what got "us" into this mess? Now is the time to heed Patrick Henry's warning to men who would be free.
What must the motives be of anyone who would advise otherwise? Leave the driving to us? And pay for the ride we're taking you on?
There's another Fairfaxism they use all the time to bolster that point:

If he embraces it so much, and expects us to, why did his family flee Tehran?
CNN offers weasel words, but it looks like they're keeping the affiliation. They need an unbiased reporter to eat those human brains, which is what watching and believing CNN does to you.
America's Got Talent
Parents 'horrified' after man performs surprise drag show at Manhattan school talent event [More]Why?

They'd better, if they know what's good for them.
Coming Soon to a Caliphate Near You
'Enough is enough' PM May says after London attackers kill seven [More]It will never be "enough" until the clearly stated goal of total "submission" is attained.
