The Exception to the Rule


Legal Immigrant Launches Recall Petition Against Gavin Newsom [More]
Yes, 70% Democrat presupposes 30% are not.

My consistent position has been that all delegated government actions must advance the purposes and scope of the preamble. If allowing this or that individual in is determined to do that, welcome.

Why else would I laud this guy?

It depends upon what the meaning of the word "rigorous" is.

And Dr. Veltmeyer sounds more American than 90+% of "native Californians."

The Keystone Issue


Abortion, tax policy, deregulation, gun rights, judicial activism … all are critical to maintaining the United States as the type of place where the most people can have the highest quality of life. But if we allow Democrats to succeed in filling our country with people predisposed to vote for big government, over time and election cycles it simply won’t be possible to win on any other issue.

‘Prefiled’ VA Anti-Paramilitary Edict Reaffirms Tyrants Fear Armed Citizens

Giving the Business


A new law, enacted by the Oklahoma Legislature this year with Paycom’s guidance, allows businesses to petition the court for a victim’s protective order much like one that a woman might obtain against a former boyfriend. A judge can order a potentially dangerous person to stay away from a business or its employees, which companies couldn’t do before. [More]

I'm assuming it also means he can order their guns taken, but finding the actual statute has proven to be a bit of an unexpected scavenger hunt. The Oklahoma Legislature website is fairly difficult to navigate and makes you download files, ILA came up empty and the 2A people I contacted in OK don't seem to know anything about it. I then FB messaged the reporter:

I'm trying to find that new law and it's surprisingly difficult, possibly because I'm not familiar with Oklahoma law. I'm assuming it's part of Title 22-- Do you have a statute number? Do you know what the enacted bill was and who it's sponsors were?

If he replies, I'll update this. In the meantime, anybody with actual knowledge, please weigh in.

[Via Bluesgal]

UPDATE: https://www.legiscan.com/OK/text/SB715/id/2026277 It doesn't specifically mention guns but I believe that probably goes without saying with protective orders. It was sponsored by Republicans: Sen. Lonnie Paxton and Rep. Chris Kannady. Thanks, Mack!

The Question of Our Time


Is it OK to be white?

Because saying that it is causes convulsions, mostly among white virtue-oozers, and can get you booted off social media for violating "community standards."

Heck, you can't even make the hand sign anymore. Not without expecting an insane tantrum.

Is it a matter of picking a different adjective, like "acceptable"? "Tolerable"?

I'd like to ask every politician running for office, from all parties, if it's OK to be white and insist on an unequivocal  "yes" or "no" answer without any qualifying weasel-words. I doubt any would.

Alternatively, is it NOT OK to be white?

I ask because I find, through no fault, action or decision of my own, standing in our changing society for "ourselves and our Posterity" depends upon the answer.

As the Culture Terraforms

Not enough babies are being born to replace the US population as birth rate plunges to 30-year low [More
This presupposes that population increases are desirable and sustainable. It's kind of like asking "warmists" what the right temperature should be. Left unsaid are factors like manipulated global trade affecting needed jobs, the rise of AI and the fact that increasing swaths are not only non-productive but actually a drain -- by design.

So how will "we" keep the "Social Security" Ponzi scheme from collapsing, at least until the string-pulling swindlers are either gone or have their getaways secured?

No problem, just open the gates and bring in the foreigners! Hey, at least out of all that they managed to bring in one Aussie, even if he is acting like he just downed a couple Fosters. It's all the cheering Somalis at 00:48 who fill me with confidence that the Founders' intent is in good hands!

Appeal Filed after NY AG Rejects FOIL to ID Investigated ‘Ghost Gun’ Companies


The refusal instead indicates not only a lack of transparency on the part of Attorney General James and suggests arrogance and a legal vendetta by someone with the power to prosecute based on a political agenda.

I did all the work I intend to do today, barring something I just can't ignore.  I need a break and I'm going to just spend a weekend with my family (albeit I do have one more article I'll probably need to promote tomorrow and another I need to write on Sunday).

I'll be back to doing blog posts, answering emails and considering news tips on Monday.

Gun Trafficking by Deputies Shows Inevitable Corruption from Gun Laws


Outrageously, per The San Diego Union-Tribune, Garmo’s activities had been known by his department and only resulted in a reprimand from Sheriff Bill Gore (formerly in charge of the attack on Randy Weaver’s family at Ruby Ridge) and a warning letter from the District Attorney, “a longtime political ally of Gore’s.” Garmo himself dismissed his activities as “truly a hobby for me, and it just got a little out of control.” [More]

Night of the Evil Butterball



This is my traditional Thanksgiving essay, first posted in 2000 and updated every year since:
Attacks by roving flocks of wild turkeys are on the increase around suburban Boston. [More]
Time was, the turkey was considered a game bird. The Pilgrims at Plymouth are said to have feasted on them (perhaps). Generations later, Ben Franklin considered it such a useful fowl that he nominated it for the national bird.

Of course, this was in the days when the right to bear arms was taken for granted, when free people hunted turkeys for sustenance, all the while honing marksmanship skills that would serve them well in time of need.

Fast-forward to present-day Boston, a place of sacred tradition, the literal forge for our heritage of individual liberty. Except Boston is now a place where traditions have been betrayed. Its current overlords have succeeded in disarming the whole people in a way that General Gage could never have conceived possible.

So successful have these rulers been that the city that gave us Sam Adams and Paul Revere is now a city under siege, and this is fittingly ironic if you think about it, by wild turkeys. So helpless and hapless are Boston’s modern-day patriots, they can do little except retreat from the aggressive gobblers, escape, hole up and plead for rescue from the very authorities that enforce public impotence.

This is what the heirs of The Sons of Liberty have been reduced to. This is what they have allowed, and in many cases, demanded. Human beings, with dominion over the earth, scurrying from turkeys. The tolerated degradation of the masses is damned near complete.

This does not escape the notice of those who impose their tyranny upon us. What new outrage are they now free to impose? What can’t they do? After all, we’re talking about subjects who would cede their birthright to birds.

The greasy-lipped masters have to be laughing like hell as they reach across their table of plunder and rip off another drumstick…

May you have as much to be thankful for as I do. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.  Now go enjoy the day.
