Notes from the Resistance...
The perpetually disappointing Chuck Grassley complains about Democrat document stonewalling in Ketanji Brown Jackson's SCOTUS nomination [Watch]
Notice what our Republican "leader" and "conservative" Fox News won't even mention...?
See, they need to keep that on the down low or the plausible deniability of "I voted against her" gets revealed for the fraudulent CYA excuse that it is.
“Anyone who does not attest to being fully vaccinated will be required to wear a mask on the job no matter their geographic location, physically distance from all other employees and visitors, comply with a weekly or twice weekly screening testing requirement and be subject to restrictions on official travel,” the White House said in a fact sheet on the new policy, which it released Thursday afternoon.

So if they lie, will they be subject to felony prosecution like Hunter was for lying on a 4473?
What? He wasn't? And the feds are stonewalling?
By not allowing the truth to be known, and by ensuring that those responsible will not be held accountable, the incentive never to do it again has been reduced. That’s especially dangerous to gun owners noting the same lies that led up to Fast and Furious are once more being repeated by those who share the original goals, of blaming Mexican cartel slaughter on what they publicly call “lax American gun laws” [More]
Still stonewalling after all these years...
The U.S. Secret Service appears to be testing our FOIA resolve for reasons only its operatives can say.
The first bump was in its acknowledgment of receipt:
We weren't asking for information pertaining to me but to the Hunter Biden gun investigation -- our FOIA request is embedded at the above link and you can see for yourself. It is hard to conceive how this is a mistaken "misinterpretation" on their part and had we proceeded without challenging that, they could have just come back and said "We have no information on him" and we'd be absolutely nowhere.
In other words, this is either grossly incompetent -- which ought to concern everyone considering what this agency is responsible for -- or it's a deliberate stalling tactic, meaning it has been directed.
Stephen corrected them and now they're screwing with us on a fee waiver, another stall, as I've got it in writing from the feds via various FOIA efforts of years past that they acknowledge I'm an "Authorized Journalist."
Stephen sent them a response. Let's see what kind of creative stonewalling they come up with next.
Stay tuned.
As a result, Nunes said he has instructed committee staff to draw up a contempt of Congress citation for Rosenstein and for FBI Director Christopher Wray. [More]Why anyone thought a position of trust for either Rowdy Roddy or the Blumenthal clone in an administration pledging to drain the swamp was a good idea is beyond me. But it figures an old expert at stonewalling and contempt would resurface.
Today we investigate the incredible case of a US federal agent who survived a brutal attack by Mexican drug cartel thugs. It shows how violent cartels are wreaking havoc south of the border. But it also says a lot about serious shortfalls inside the US government which is still stonewalling on unanswered questions -- six long years later. [More]Tell me about it.
There are multiple reasons for filing the request, AmmoLand Shooting Sports News reported when the FOIA ... was filed, primarily because it explores an area that has been left largely unresolved by official inquiries from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General. [More]The 20-day window to comply closed over a year ago. They have no intention of doing anything but continuing the in-your-face stonewalling. And if the court allows such a clear violation to prevail, it will at least be further corroboration that true peaceful redress protections are a fiction.
The FBI and investigating law enforcement agencies have declined to identify the other four agents who were on the scene. The FBI spokesman also declined to discuss whether they were still members of HRT or, like Astarita, had been moved to an “administrative capacity.” [More]Stonewalling? The Feds...?
Republican Senate Leaders are stonewalling on HB746 (Constitutional Carry and more). They are taking gun right voters for granted, and actively refusing to move this important bill. They have gone as far as kicking a GRNC volunteer out of a Senate meeting in effort to stifle the people's right to petition and redress their government. We cannot allow them to do this! [More]Then you'll let them know you're going to pick one and make an example out of him. And then do it.
ATF vows to help Jeff Sessions reduce gun crimes [More]You can start, "Acting Director" Brandon, by spilling everything you know and giving up names on Gunwalker.
“Mr Brandon has been the DD AND Acting Director of ATF for over 4 years, and he didn't understand what being invited to testify before a Congressional oversight committee entailed?” Cefaulu asked incredulously. “I call outright b*******. [More]The stonewalling continues. What remains to be seen is if the Trump administration will let them get away with it.
In practice, both bodies acted much like sober legislative chambers. [More]So nobody held sit-ins on the floor when they didn't get their way with infringements, or abetted misdirection and stonewalling over deadly crimes, or were willing participants in subversive activities, or were blatant, in-your-face oath-breakers transparently committed to cultural "cleansing," or..
AG Lynch refuses to answer questions over 74 times [More]Stonewalling? Gosh, what a novelty.
One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.” ... ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch. [More]I wonder why. I wonder if it's connected to Gunwalker. And I wonder if the Republican majority Congress is going to continue accepting stonewalling so that "independents" have to do all the uncovering.
Federal Agency Collusion Polluted ‘Independent’ Gold King Mine Review [More]Quick -- tell the Republicans! If enough people make it impossible to ignore, they'll hold toothless committee hearings and avoid playing hardball when met with administration stonewalling!
It’s pretty representative of how “progressives” in power view an armed citizenry. And it’s a good indication that their priorities don’t include justice for Brian Terry and other s killed by “official” criminal acts, let alone living up to a prime directive for having this government in the first place, “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” [More]If you don’t want the government to stonewall answers for Fast and Furious, the solution is simple: Stop asking them questions. Right?
Don’t expect the mainstream media, and even Republican politicians, to relentlessly investigate the truth of any of these claims. With a few notable exceptions, they didn’t do anything but ignore and obfuscate while the iron was hot, and there is no incentive to resurrect “yesterday’s news” now. [More]Meanwhile, most "Authorized Journalist" sources are telling you everything is hunky-dory...
Without bringing the original and subsequent work to wider attention -- and the press isn't about to -- most of the public will never hear about it, meaning the corruption, cover-up and stonewalling will continue as the “authorized journalists” run interference. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the new guy is a company man just as capable of going Full BTodd as the outgoing administration lackey.
