Notes from the Resistance...
Mike Vanderboegh talked about his health, his blog and the principles of the “Three Percent” movement in an exclusive interview. [More]Listen to a recently-recorded interview where we talk about Mike's health, his blog, the Three Percent movement and more.
Former Independence cop gets four-year sentence for encounter that nearly killed teen driver [More]He'll have plenty of time to play games now.
All Bill Information (Except Text) for H.R.5181 - Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016 [More]Here's the text.
This bill has a . . .20% chance of getting past committee.5% chance of being enacted.Whole lotta pretending like they're actually doing something goes on, doesn't it?
Part One: Dark Till Dawn [More]Must. Find. Time.
Summer is almost here! We take a lot of our freedoms for granted during these warm months, with barbecues, road trips, and other summer activities we get to enjoy. But the fun won’t last forever. November is almost here, and if Question 1 passes, Nevada will be less free. [More]And then Bloomberg will be free to move on to his next target. Your state, perhaps?
The world’s longest and deepest rail tunnel was unveiled with a bizarre ceremony featuring a goat-man who dies and is resurrected, women simulating sex with each other and drone-like human workers marching to a rhythmic drum beat. [More]Elite people in suits, with money and power and political connections, approved this in-everyone's-face ritual. Why? What is the purpose?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
In an official statement, Obama said America would continue to welcome immigrants and refugees, despite “the voices that seek to divide us.” [More]Up is officially down.
Human-pig hybrids for organ transplants could develop into monsters with 'OUR brains' [More]Are we not men?
Arabic is the fastest-growing language in American households... [More]Inshallah, right? And Shariah might not be all bad.
Gun Control is proper grip, sight alignment, breathing and trigger squeeze. Replace any of their arguments with Gun Owner Control and the whole narrative changes to expose the real truth. All of their laws and suggestions have no effect on crime or criminals, they only put more restrictions and burden on Gun Owner’s who are by definition law abiding citizens. [More]Yep. Criminals who use guns are rarely "owners," because that's a legal and moral term. Obtaining property through force or fraud, or with the fruits of same, is possession, not ownership.
And as for it being “constitutional,” the reason the feds went after a transfer tax instead of a ban is they knew they didn’t have authority to try for the latter. And as for that registration and tax, the district court in the Miller short-barreled shotgun case agreed that it was a violation of the Second Amendment. It was only after the government appealed to the Supreme Court and no attorney showed up to argue the case, and only the government’s side was heard, that the opinion cited in subsequent cases was issued. And even that had to concede a weapon was protected if it had “some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia [or] that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense.” [More]If only we treat all guns the way we do machine guns, why we'd all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up and eatin' that rainbow stew.
Several people have been taken to hospital after a street in a Glasgow suburb descended into a "war zone". [More]That seems like a bit of hyperbole for some stabbings and van fires. I can't help but reflect on Inigo's observation.
NEW YORK OATH KEEPERS ANNOUNCE THE RECIPIENTS OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AWARDS FOR 2016 [More]I wonder who will get the Karl Marx award this year...
The letter does note that no action on the part of the CLEO is required, does not specify in what manner a CLEO should store the documentation, if they choose to do so, and asks that if the CLEO has any information that may disqualify any maker or transferee, including a responsible person of a legal entity, from making or possessing a firearm to provide that information to the NFA Branch. Of concern is that the letter does not specify the copies of the Form 1s and Form 4s that the CLEOs are receiving contain confidential tax information and should be treated as such. [More]I guess "shall not be" wasn't clear enough.
No Judge should consider people who defend themselves Guilty Unless Proven Innocent [More]Coincidentally, the reason this blog was down since Thursday night is I flew down to Florida on Friday morning to drive my mother back up to Ohio for the summer.

Kathleen Taylor, a neurologist at Oxford University, said that recent developments suggest that we will soon be able to treat religious fundamentalism and other forms of ideological beliefs potentially harmful to society as a form of mental illness. [More]I told you she was a Keeper:
Wrong thinking is punishable; right thinking will be as quickly rewarded. You will find it an effective combination.[Via Michael G]
“They have a button, if they’re uncomfortable they can press the button to show ‘hey someone has boarded with a gun’.” [More]"Officials" in charge can take steps to ensure training with the law is administered and documented, or they can wait until someone gets killed and get sued.
