Notes from the Resistance...
Protestors are outside Chuck Schumer’s home in BLK chanting: “If Chuck won’t let us Dream, we won’t let him sleep!” [More]That's got a catchy beat to it! Somebody with musical talent should do something with it.
Jurors were able to reach a unanimous decision on three of the seven counts Maketa was indicted on. [More]Sounds like they're not giving the guy enough credit...
A former Troy police officer has been sentenced to five years in prison for the statutory rape of a teenage girl. [More]But meeting her at a pizza place adds another layer of complication to the dating etiquette dilemma.
But Mensah deemed Cromer’s testimony “not entirely credible” in light of the testimony of the informer, the trips the pair took and “intimate photographs of Agent Cromer” that were on the informer’s cellphone. Cromer testified that he didn’t know how she got in his hotel room in 2012 to take a photo of him sleeping. [More]I can't tell you how many times I've slept through hotel room intrusions and I'm just an amateur, so it's not surprising to see a professional do it so expertly.
Police in Rotterdam, a city in the Netherlands, have announced that they are going to “undress” young people who are wearing clothes that look too expensive for them to be wearing. [More]And here I thought "fashion police" were just effete and trivial snots, rather than official enforcers.
Leading member of far-right AfD in Brandenburg converts to Islam [More]That basically tells me the guy is hardwired to be a fanatic, and it's not the belief system that matters to him.
In the last three months ... three policemen responsible for securing the Elysée Palace have opened fire inadvertently, one of them even seriously injured. [Plus]People are the same all over!
Top-ranking Democrats in the House and the Senate are calling on Twitter and Facebook to launch investigations of potential Russian-linked accounts pushing for the release of a controversial congressional memo. [More]Ya got me!
I’m sorry to say- Ammoland- but you’re part of the problem. Your title expressly states that this is a bump stock ban. IT IS NOT. It is about “rate increasing devices”... [More]First of all that's not what the title "expressly states," your preferred phrase appears nowhere in the proposal overview, the rule has not been written yet, and publishing tool headline character limitations and SEO considerations preclude using cumbersome terminology and still getting the point of the article across. Besides, anyone who would decline to read more than the headline is unlikely to be much help anyway.
First of all, not everyone is in the choir. The people in the pews — some not even paying attention — aren’t. The choir is comprised of activists, people who make and keep a regular commitment to practice, to improve, to work together and to perform. Appreciating (or not) the results of their efforts does not make one a member of the choir. [More]Information is put out there to be used, not just consumed.
It is difficult to exaggerate how damaging this ruling is to the GOP. Democrats need to win a net of 23 seats to take back the House. This decision may hand them 3 or 4 right off the bat. [More]So Democrat majorities on courts affect how they'll rule? Gosh,it's almost like there's a lesson for gun owners here.
“Other than the gas masks and iodine tabs, in a hurricane or tsunami or even an earthquake, which we’ve had, this stuff is important because people will go nuts,” Pang said. “But I’ll never buy a gun because I have more hope for humanity and the people of Hawaii, because the people of Hawaii are good.”Don't these people have a luggage combination to reset or something...?
