In this case, the defamatory lie was deliberate and considered, and put out to the world by an individual and group with many years of media experience. Sneaking a deletion into the release and not telling anyone shows they know they have crossed a legal line and are trying to cover their tracks to avoid liability. [More]

But the Constitution isn’t beyond change – the Second Amendment, after all, is itself an amendment to the foundational document. And if anyone really thinks that owning a gun (or 1000 of them) will protect him from the wrath of a gone-insane, malevolent federal force, with arsenals of tanks and rockets, the crazed fantasist shouldn’t be allowed to own a penknife.

Using official data released by the Small Business Administration (SBA), Wagner analyzed the first tranche of PPP loans disbursed under the Trump administration and found nearly $83 million went to some 285 firearms manufacturers, importers, and distributors in the U.S., all of them enjoying what was inarguably a banner year. If you include all firearms-related businesses and organizations that got PPP loans, such as state NRA affiliates, shooting schools, and the like, the money climbs to almost $160 million. [More]

Key to regaining our liberty is making government officials abide by the same rules against the initiation of violence that apply to private citizens. [More]
By closing off other means of redress, it looks like Waco rules and Romanian rules will be the inevitable outcome.

Michael Paul Williams, a veteran journalist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary Friday for a series of “penetrating and historically insightful columns" about the process of dismantling the city's Confederate monuments. [More]
That's not all he wants to dismantle.

The rule of law dictates that there must be some means of righting wrongs, or it serves no purpose at all. [More]
And the rule of men says those with the guns are sole arbiters of who is "wrong."
You believe that these mass casualty events have become so common that it is important for everyone in this country to be prepared? [Watch]

Does it not seem as if The Science (Dr. Fauci) has lurched from one blunder to the next, while also withholding the truth from the public, lying about the origin of the disease, and its (his) role in the development of the “vaccines,” and now rather desperately, it seems, trying to cover its (his) ass?

Who can feel sorry for well-heeled useful idiot parents who spend more than the mean personal U.S. income to send their kids to kindergarten? My guess is most of them are "progressives," and I gotta wonder how many "home school."
Besides, by the time the "learners" graduate high school, anyone against this will be canceled as a hater. Who will be surprised to hear outraged demands to close the pedophilephobe loophole and keep such dangerous extremists from buying guns?
