The president of the influential Family Research Council is warning that Democrats already have launched "a full-scale assault" on the faith and religious beliefs of the frontrunner to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, Amy Coney Barrett. [More]

Good for them. That's as it should be.
Now look at how Oath Keepers are portrayed.

Jeez, the biggest and cruelest bullies always seem to be the zero-tolerance hive insects who administer the "tolerance" and "no bullying" policies. With "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.
This is not the first time this has happened... I'm wondering when a guns-a-blazin' SWAT response will result in fun for all.
I'm also wondering -- since "education" is compulsory here in "the land of the free" and since public school employees are government functionaries -- if a self-incrimination/Fifth Amendment and a Fourth Amendment defense might be made for requiring the cameras in the home.
As noted before, I had more freedom in the Shah's Iran than children do now in the land of the Second Amendment.

FBI Director Christopher Wray was the target of White House criticism for the second time in a week Friday as Chief of Staff Mark Meadows chided him over remarks made a day earlier to Congress about voter fraud.[More]
I hate to say "I told you so."
But that has not stopped an intensifying debate in the military about its role should a disputed election lead to civil unrest. [More]
And who is stoking that but the Democrats and their DSM cheerleaders?
Note Trump has never said he would refuse to step down if he loses a legitimate election. what's scary is the multitude of mob influencers feigning outrage over that.
That Drudge gives this calculated hysteria-mongering headline placement tells us much about how he has devolved.

Is it time for a ‘whiff of grapeshot’ to bring the rioters to heel? [More]
That won't do it.
If the enemy doesn't surrender unconditionally, you will have won nothing. That people -- especially our "leaders" -- don't get that is what has resulted in the hundred thousand or so "war deaths" suffered by this country since the last time we forced that ultimatum on an enemy.

While the Democrats continue to stick to their narrative that incidents of ballot harvesting and rampant voter fraud are just a bogeyman conjured up by Republicans to disenfranchise people (or something), more evidence continues to prove just how wrong they are. In Texas, four people have been arrested in a ballot harvesting scheme, including a Gregg County commissioner. [More]

The easiest way to present this is just to copy and paste the email:
David,
I finally got was I was seeking: WHEN did the police 'knock' on the door (as they claim)?
Early in the morning when residents are likely asleep (approx. 12:40 AM).

- "Breonna Taylor and the Moral Bankruptcy of Drug Prohibition"

If the big "Gotchas!" against this after all this time are rulings on bartending and hair braiding licenses, both of which are resolvable through legislation, I'm seeing Scalia's point on outweighing evils.
I'm not saying the injustices aren't a concern-- I'm saying courts not staying in their lane have inflicted untold damage to the system mandated by the Constitution.

While it may be “inappropriate” for a judge to weigh in on a specific case before confirmation — for legitimate reasons, including not having studied and evaluated all the particulars, evidence and precedents against the “supreme Law of the Land,” — there’s no reason why general principles of understanding should be off-limits. Such hearings are supposed to be, among other things, high-level employment interviews, not pre-coronation ceremonies. [More]
Biden is favored to win the election [More]
I know, I know. Everybody said the same thing about Hillary.
The thing is, I see a lot of gun owners making comments about how Trump is going to win by a landslide, and they always do so offering only that opinion, with no substantiation from a credible authority. And again, I know there were a handful of handicappers who correctly picked Trump to win in 2016 and who are putting money on him again for the November race.
The point being, don't let any of these scenarios result in either demoralized resignation or over-confident complacency.
There are an estimated 100 million gun owners in this country and about 138 million citizens voted last time. Knowing what is at stake in terms of threatened infringements, there is no excuse for a Biden win. I submit those cynical voices telling us it's all futile haven't tried all that hard at involving themselves in the system of self-government bequeathed to us by the Founders, and I expect most of those will be just as persevering come "Molon Labe!" time.
Don't be this guy, smug in the unproven self-assurance that everyone is playing a sucker's game but him.
