Notes from the Resistance...
It’s almost as if Sen. Parker set out to shred the 1st Amendment, as well as the 2nd. [More]Bear has some observations on a violent, tax-cheating New York corruptocrat.
In January, Susan Braudy spoke to Today about a time the Oscar winner allegedly masturbated in front of her. She told Today that Douglas "repeatedly used inappropriate sexual language" and "harassed" her while she was an employee at his production company. Douglas later denied the claims against him. He told Deadline at the time, "This is a complete lie, fabrication, no truth to it whatsoever." [More]Hey, that's not the way it's supposed to work. Especially since, in his own words, "Sex is a wave that just sweeps over me. When the urge comes I am helpless."
Jack Ma, the head of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and China’s best-known capitalist, is a Communist Party member, the official Party newspaper said on Monday, debunking a public assumption the billionaire was politically unattached. [More]Foolish proletariat...
AFM: CDC identifies 31 states with 116 confirmed cases of polio-like disease [More]None of our "news" gatekeepers are mentioning why here / why now. Where was it before 2014? How did it get here and did its spread track with any other known "dispersal" patterns? Birds, mosquitos, something else...? Doesn't that deserve to be explored, understood and communicated to a "self-governing" people so they can properly coordinate effective public health responses with their representatives?
“They can put me in prison the rest of my life. I am not going to sign a lie”... [More]Why do I expect Monty Python to burst in dressed like cardinals?
As a result, the gap between the liberal and conservative Constitutions became a gulf, to the extent that today we are two countries—or we are fast on the road to becoming two countries—each constituted differently. [More]Welcome to the party, pal.
Democrats are quietly targeting a handful of Republican senators from states rocked by mass shootings about passing legislation that would at long last close the so-called gun show loophole, according to a person involved in the efforts. [More]Did someone just ask where we were on reciprocity?
Dershowitz added that he believes the report, although it will have a strong political impact, is unlikely to result in criminal charges. [More]So no "high crimes and misdemeanors" but people who want to destroy him will say more nasty things about him?
Dem wanting social media scrutiny for gun-license applicants has violent, tax-delinquent past: reportsFox News still denies access to links from Blogger, so if you want to read this you'll need to copy/paste this:
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the carrier of the plague. You have unbarred the gates of Rome to him."Whether Cicero said it and when is up for debate. That does not alter the truth of the observation.
Dems will nominate a progressive in 2020 ... the progressive we nominate should also be capable of getting votes from moderates and even republicans. [More]Well yeah. That's why they're called "useful idiots."
Man Arrested at Gun Buyback Event for Putting a Sign on His Jeep that Read: "I Buy Guns" [More]We know the hapless gun owner's name. Why don't we know the names of the thugs who harassed him with a threat of up-to-lethal force if he did not submit?
The song “was written the night Finicum was murdered by federal agents in January 2016,” Page’s email reveals. “It stands as a testament to LaVoy's life, and will be featured in ‘Dead Man Talking,’ an upcoming documentary series about him produced by the Center for Self Governance. Jordan has committed 50% of the proceeds from the sales of this song to the Finicum family to support them and their legal battles toward justice for LaVoy.” [More]Jordan Page is back with another great song, premiering today.
Judges who issue ERPOs aren’t “suspending” their victims’ gun rights and constitutionally mandated due process and property protections. They’re ordering police to violate those rights and ignore those protections. There’s a difference. [More]Additional thoughts relevant to an earlier post...
Alabama police admit killing wrong man after mall shooting [More]Thank goodness the Code of Conduct doesn't apply to "Only Ones"!
Sen. Schumer showed up for his daughter’s big day wearing a green yarmulke and flanked by security guards as the NYPD closed down the street for his arrival. [More]Why the need if Big Apple "commonsense gun safety laws" work?
America's Gun Business Is $28B. The Gun Violence Business Is Bigger. [More]That's because "progressive" edicts enable and make it inevitable.
The suspect in the case, identified as Mohammed Mohammed, was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. [More]This whole story is just ripe with multiple opportunities for relevant comments.
“Just gave Sarah Huckabee Sanders a very dirty look at Disney World,” the White Chicks alum explained. Busy added that it “doesn’t seem fair” that Sarah enjoys her life and her vacation this weekend while other families “suffer” from her supposed lies. [More]So whiteface good, blackface bad? Unless you're Ted Danson?
A mother who scaled the U.S.-Mexico border fence near the San Ysidro Port of Entry Friday night fell and was impaled by pieces of rebar, Border Patrol said Saturday. The 26-year-old Guatemalan woman was with her two children, ages 3 and 5, when she crossed illegally, said Border Patrol Agent Tekae Michael. She told agents she was not part of the massive migrant caravan camped out in Tijuana, Michael said. [More]And they believe her why?
If the ERPO was served on the child in this case, the dad would then have to choose between proving to law enforcement where the guns are so they know they’re not in the house, or having the child live elsewhere. [More]And of course predominantly fatherless households, in which the majority of the violent reside, won't have any "legal" guns for "authorities" to know about anyway. So this is just another way of extorting those who care about their kids -- who have been accused but not convicted of anything -- of surrendering their arms.

Federal agent faces trial in Houston after romantic involvement with terror suspect [More]Wasn't it Opposite Day "progressive feminist" Hillary who insisted on a tendency of women to defer to the dominance of the deplorable males in their lives on political matters?
The U.S. is well below the world average in terms of the number of mass public shootings, and the global increase over time has been much bigger than for the United States. [More]So that's when the antis pull out the "developed nations" lie.
The 31-year-old, whom authorities didn’t name, had climbed a tree to try to avoid capture, then lit the tree afire and began to throw rocks at the agents as well as a helicopter called in to help track him ... The man was eventually arrested, and agents said he told them he was part of the migrant caravan that had been in the news. They said he had previous arrests in the U.S. and had been deported back in June. [More]But per Yahoo "News" (interesting name), those feeling entitled to demand entry are "boisterous." We're "menacing."
Two St. Louis County officers who 'misled' investigators in fatal Berkeley car chase are fired [More]That means they lied to investigators. Which means it's the department characterization that's misleading.

What happened? Why did Republican-controlled Congress fail to fulfill one of President Trump’s signature campaign promises? [More]"One"?
From their point of view it makes perfect “progressive” sense. The former head of MPAA was Chris Dodd, replaced in 2017 by Charles Rivkin. [More]If they can't flat-out stop the signal, Democrat gun-grabbers (but I repeat myself) will do everything they can to smother it.
Vermont is poised to become Northern Massachusetts this coming year. The November election did not fare well for firearm rights in Vermont. Come January, we will have very few supporters of the Constitutional Right to bear arms under Article 16th in Montpelier.
2018 was the first time in the history of Vermont that truly unconstitutional firearms laws have been passed through the legislature and signed into law (Act 94).
In response, the Gun Owners of Vermont filed a lawsuit in August. Now, we need to win against these anti-self-defense laws in court.The Attorney General's office has filed this reply to our initial complaint:
We need to raise approximately $30,000 to cover legal expenses. For donations by Check or Money Order, please make them payable to:

The Right to an Equal Vote2. The Right to Clean Air & Clean Water3. The Right to Learn4. The Right to a Living Wage5. The Right to Health [More]So rights are bestowed by benevolent despots? He can just do this by edict, because "democracy"? And you have a right to compulsory services from others?
First Month Of Red Flag Law Draws 114 Requests For Removing Guns [More]And we've already chalked up a headline-making success story!
"Even though it was closed, the plaintiffs were easily able to move the unsecured gate at the entrance to the Pipeline Slide and climb the stairs to the top of the slide," claims the lawsuit. "Without any employees present to instruct them, the plaintiffs were not aware that they needed to have the slide sprayed with water, nor did they know that they needed a burlap sack to safely go down the side." [More]So they deserve what, aside from injuries sustained?
Speaking Thursday at the National Immigration Forum event "Leading the Way: An American Approach to Immigration," Lankford said lawmakers can find things to agree on, like granting citizenship to those brought into the U.S. illegally as children ... But for those who have been here legally present for 20, 25 years, those folks should have access to be naturalized and to be a part of our culture and be able to be here"... [More]I don't agree.

When Clinton’s director of strategic communications informed Javits Center attendees that Clinton would not be speaking, Tamblyn came to a grim conclusion: “A dark realization swallowed me: I was going to bring a baby into this world.
