Notes from the Resistance...
Pick a resolution from the above list. There’s actually no reason why most of them can’t be fulfilled over the course of a year. Or you may have ideas of your own you can share with the rest of us in “comments.” [More]The important thing is to do something. Every day.
Before we get Rex all wound up, aren't you forgetting something?For the first time in many decades, we can turn our eyes toward the bright sunlit uplands, where liberty reigns, and where each may abide by his vine and fig tree and be not afraid. [More]
IN OUR MIDST ISIS ‘lone wolf’ fanatic takes chilling selfie on a snow-covered New York street as terror group urges a wave of knife attacks at US churches [More]But...but...but rigorous!

Federal District Court: Simple Involuntary Commitment not a Disqualifier for Second Amendment Rights [More]A Moms Demand Action spokesperson offered an official group reaction:
A Boston police detective is set to be sentenced Thursday for lying to federal officials so he could take his gun on planes during personal trips and allow a friend to avoid airport security. [More]I'm sure you and I would be offered a probation plea deal as long as we made it clear all we wanted to do was visit our parents.
A Charlottesville-area man was convicted in 2014 of receiving stolen property — the motorcycle, which twice had been used to elude police — after an officer who suspected it was stolen walked onto private property and removed a tarp covering the bike without a search warrant. [More]And look who has no problem finding a "single issue" tie- in -- when they want to.
“Now they’re at a point where we’re identifying the specific people that are involved in those incidents and we’re targeting them. The first part of the year we’ll begin collecting a list, and we’ve got that information already, a list of those who have been participatory in multiple non-fatal shootings or homicides.” [More]If you have the information to make a participant list, why haven't they been picked up already?
Murphy, a Democrat, said he has spoken with leadership in New York and California and with legal scholars about doing “whatever it takes” to stop a GOP attempt to rewrite the federal tax code. [More]I don't suppose confining fedgov to limited, delegated functions and states acknowledging a right to choose which services you want and who you want to buy them from is an option...?
Cash Remittances to Mexico Set $26B Record in 2017, Says Central Bank [More]So basically we're talking under three years...?
People are raising Cain on social media about a law in Oregon making it legal for citizens to pump their own gas. [More]The headline is BS, because nothing is being "banned," although considering who's passing laws there, I see how that presumption was made. Still, no wonder the cud-chewers demand a nanny state to "take care" of them and not trust them with adult things like guns.
Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have predicted that cacao plants are likely to go extinct as early as 2050 due to climate change. [More]Oh no! How are we going to pay the Oompa Loompas?
In other words, the man who referred to his little sojourn as a “pilgrimage,” who made videos for the Haqqanis, who had no problem breeding in terrorist captivity, who received mail in “captivity,” and who had enough privacy in captivity to actually carry on a physical relationship with his wife, is now arrested for activities which are pretty common in fundamentalist Islamist marriages and relationships – assault, sexual assault, unlawful confinement, and death threats.[More]
Domestic abusers and guns? Missouri weighs what to do [More]Yul is no help.
More Chicago gangs arming themselves with rifles as alliances spread conflict [More]If this isn't a wake-up call to disarm you and me, I don't know what is.
Booker was playing with his loaded .45 caliber handgun by racking the slide back and forth with his finger on the trigger. After emptying the magazine from the gun, Booker pulled the trigger as the gun was pointed toward the victim. The gun fired and Clark was struck. [More]Keep your Booker hook off the bang switch?
KCK firefighters were paid nearly $1 million for shifts they didn’t work [More]Our "community heroes"!
I uncover two important asymmetries among partisans. First, Republicans tend to increase support for VID upon learning of even a miniscule amount of in-person voter fraud, but appear relatively insensitive to strategic considerations. Second, Democrats’ support for VID depends significantly upon which party stands to benefit from the laws, but Democrats do not appear sensitive to information about fraud. [More]I'd like to see the questions, but not badly enough to pay for it. Because while I have no trouble believing Democrats are dicks, that theoretical Republican support sure doesn't appear to prompt much in the way of platform sea change when the GOP candidate is a Groverian cheap labor whore on immigration.
The shooting was reported around 2:25 p.m. Friday, when Mendoza opened fire on his coworkers at the Perona, Langer, Beck, Serbin, Mendoza and Harrison law firm in the 300 block of San Antonio Drive. [More]Looks like they removed Mendoza. And recently.
Ostensibly people sign up to be peace officers to serve and protect, and swear an oath to the Constitution obliging them to protect the Bill of Rights as much as anything else. The rest of us want to make it home at the end of their shift, too. [More]Have we seen instances where bodycam recordings leave reasonable people room to dispute the report of hands going to waistbands? Does the name LaVoy Finicum ring a bell?
