U. North Carolina-Greensboro lecturer defends CRT, says ‘whiteness is a disease’ [More]

Talk about sadistic gaslighting.

Am I wrong to sense a rechanneling of self-loathing into hatred for all those who recognized him as a freak throughout his life?

 “The Anti-Vax Right Are the REAL Snowflakes.” – Says RINO Adam Kinzinger Who’s on Jan 6 Committee with Liz Cheney [More]

'Sufficient Probable Cause'

A report from an unidentified source provided the sole basis for an allegation that Mother (J.B.) was homeless and had failed to feed one of her children during a single eight-hour period and led to the issuance of an order compelling her to allow the Philadelphia Department of Human Services ("DHS") to enter and inspect the family residence. [We conclude that DHS did not] establish[] sufficient probable cause for the trial court to issue the order permitting entry into the home without consent… [More]

So can this be applied to fighting "red flag laws"?

The Letter of the Law

 To the extent that Potter ought to bear responsibility for unintentionally killing Wright, that responsibility is at worst based on negligence, the unknowing creation of an unjustified risk, and subject her to merely civil liability.  Absent a conscious disregard of risk, for which no evidence exists in this case, her conduct cannot qualify as recklessness raising criminal liability. [More]

Sounds like there was plenty of incompetence to go around.

A Prohibited Person

 In 1995, Bryan Range was convicted in a Pennsylvania state court for making a false statement to obtain food stamps assistance, a class one misdemeanor. And under that conviction for a non-violent crime, he not only served no time in jail, but he made restitution for the crime. Range has been a peaceable citizen since, has been gainfully employed, and a family man, but because of the conviction twenty-six years ago, he is unconstitutionally banned forever from possessing and protecting himself and his family with firearms, a fundamental right protected by the Second Amendment. [More]

Evidently not if he has to go to court to get it recognized.

Do you think the people who consciously work against the rights of their countrymen ever struggle with what they are doing, or does one have to be a psychopath to be a willing part of such tyranny?

Back By Popular Demand

 A new poll finds that more than eight of 10 U.S. voters believe strict gun control laws in major cities either make no difference in the current retail crime surge or make it worse. [More]

So when the antis tell us an overwhelming majority, including NRA members, want more, they're ... uh ... lying...?

Kudos All Around

With the universal praise being showered on Harry Reid in the press, it seems only fitting that we include a tribute from "our side":

"He is a true champion of the Second Amendment," LaPierre said of Reid.

Congenital Nest Foulers

 So he's escaping from the hell hole he helped to create by voting San Francisco into a dump, and now he's going to move to Miami and keep voting that way? [More]

Think of it as misery equity.

Bad Tax Advice?

 IRS says stolen property and bribes must be reported as income [More]

I'd argue Haynes v. U.S. Fifth Amendment considerations against self-incrimination moot that.

No human rights laws to violate...

Good grief.

The Purge

"The one message I got from the colonel above me was: ‘Tread very carefully, this is political, you will be crushed like an ant.’... The major who spoke with Fox News, however, is still under the impression that he and thousands of other senior service members like him across the military will face a court-martial and possible felony charges, but that they will be offered to take a lesser charge by admitting guilt.

I'm gonna need a bigger tinfoil hat...
