If we can't believe a racist fraudster, who can we believe? Next thing you know we'll be telling the servants they have no say in the number of horses and hounds we can have.

A surge in new gun owners and a spike in gun thefts from cars are contributing to the city's gun violence crisis, police and experts say. [More]

More than 120 retired US Generals and Admirals wrote Joe Biden. In the letter, they questioned his mental fitness and cognitive abilities. They also mentioned the evidence that voter fraud may have played a large part in his winning of the election. The group confronted the FBI and the Supreme Court for ignoring, what they say, is irrefutable evidence of fraud. [More]

UPDATE: This one was nagging at me and sure enough, the story is from May. There are a number of websites out there aimed at "conservatives" that basically recycle the reporting of others to get clicks, and it looks like anything I get hereafter from this website will call for extra scrutiny.... we must understand that the main aim of each Christian community is to rally Christian believers around the CCP and the government.

Funny, how they get a pass on rendering unto Caesar, but I suppose they give him a different kind of tribute.

As an aside, I thought Nighthobs like Fauci rode their bats...
In any case, some of us can forget about any kind of flying:
"A vaccine requirement for a person getting on the plane is just another level of getting people to have a mechanism that would spur them to get vaccinated; namely, you can't get on a plane unless you're vaccinated, which is just another one of the ways of getting requirements, whatever that might be," Fauci said.
The nation’s recent lockdown policies and mask mandates will create a generation of children who exhibit lower IQs and signs of social brain damage...
I thank all of you who have given me the gift of your time and wisdom, whether it has been by sending me stories to help illustrate the preciousness of rights endowed by our Creator, to sending a word of encouragement, to educating and helping me grow (either by confirming or correcting my assumptions), or to sharing my links, encouraging me to continue the work.
My Christmas wish for you is that you have as much love in your life as I have been fortunate to find in mine. It surely beats all the riches in the world.
The fact is, “may issue” permits generally mean “may not,” and make “pay-to-play” and/or currying favor with the elites inevitable, as we’ve seen prove out many times over the years. [More]
Received by email from Cavalier Knight:
On December 07, 2021, the Appellate Division, 1st Judicial Department just agreed with Appellee’s argument that “as-applied” to my business and “Federal Firearms Licensees (01).” All “Federal Firearms Licensees (01)” must open a “brick & mortar” store before they can apply for a state “Firearms Dealer’s License.”
And Appellees can use “Title 38 - R.C.N.Y. and/or NYC Administrative Code” to “preempt” the Supremacy Clause, federal, and state laws. By prohibiting “Federal Firearms Licensees (01)” in the City of New York. From selling firearms to “law-abiding” citizens “intrastate” at “gun shows.” Or “intrastate” and/or “interstate” via “mail-order” and/or “e-commerce” anywhere outside of the City of New York. Which strikes at the core of the “2nd Amendment” right. Please feel free to review my case files.
How is this any different than using a “poll tax” as a legal way to keep “African Americans” from voting in southern states? My case files can be viewed at my DropBox link below. Thank you for your kind consideration in this urgent matter.

He'll need someone bigger than me to get legal assistance with this. If any of you have any inside contacts with the big "gun rights" groups and think they should pursue this for their members' benefits, why not contact them about it?
The Speaker’s statement said that he will "consider re-posting a comprehensive package in January." [More]
I remember that scene:
The National Foundation for Gun Rights is demanding that California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta back down from their new legislative proposal which is designed to nullify the Second Amendment in California, and to create an unconstitutional bounty system to entrap gun owners.

He knows what it's designed to do, and he generally gets away with it. That's why he's doing it.

In a bizarre email exchange with the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, James Kraus, who acted as part of the prosecution team in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, wrote that he and prosecutor Thomas Binger are not—I repeat, NOT—having a homosexual affair. [More]

If you have not read Jeff Snyder's "A Nation of Cowards," carve out the time to do so, and properly, with consideration and reflection. If it's been a while since you read it, rediscover its truths. [More]
Then use them.
There's another essay Snyder wrote that also deserves to be reintroduced, but I read it 20 years ago, and damn if I can remember the title. I'll subject myself to some bright lights and slap myself around a bit to see if I want to quit stalling and talk.
In my preliminary search for it, I did come across a contention and discussion from a few years back saying he used a false Madison quote. Not so. The quote may be false, but here's what Snyder wrote:
"As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust."
That's not a quote and doesn't represent itself to be one, but is nonetheless a fair paraphrasing. NOC doesn't even mention Madison. And no, it hasn't been subsequently edited.
I know Facebook, Twitter, and Politifact don't have to worry about their "fact-checkers" knowing what the hell they're talking about, but if someone ostensibly on "our side" represents his conclusions as being the correct ones, I expect no less than what I demand of myself.

This 2017 post by Publius Huldah cautions why we ought to take a look at what happens at the end before we join the headlong, enthusiastic, and unquestioning rush down the "reciprocity" chute.
The current Canadian firearms legislation is some of the most restrictive in the world. Unlike our friends to the south, Canadians don’t lawfully carry handguns on their belts, in their nightstands, pockets, gloveboxes and purses. Police here don’t approach every person they encounter with the underlying assumption that the person is armed – either legally or illegally. Our legislation is quite effective. [More]
And with that attitude from the "pro-gun" side, you wonder why you people are screwed?
They're actually giving him kudos.
