Notes from the Resistance...
By inviting Republicans like Upton on to the show, NBC News can pretend its coverage is unbiased. That feeds the created perception that those to the right of (acceptable) “moderates” are “extremists.” Come time for manipulating the electorate, the moderates are then presented as “uncompromising,” and “right-wing.” And the goalposts move again.

For its part, Cleveland Hopkins has turned to its professional wordsmiths to come up with a statement that pledges a totally noncommittal “commitment,” admits no liability, and without coming right out and saying so, tells travelers they need to make the trip to and from the airport unarmed... [More]
To conclude because “our side” lies must mean the Russians are telling the truth is more than a logical fallacy, it is suicidal and insane. [More]
So Democrats are suddenly all for an armed citizenry while Republicans are siding with the people who call them Nazis...
Talk about people who live in glass houses... that whole section reads like an excuse to eliminate wrongthink on whatever topic they like, from elections to COVID, with Big Techtators doing the dirty work the First Amendment says their government partners can't get away with -- yet. And in keeping with the way totalitarians roll, that's heavily reliant on cultivating an anonymous snitch culture:

Clearly, it makes no sense to spend time doing work that enemy trolls can have arbitrarily undone at the push of a button. So until such time as I am set up in a safer harbor, putting in work makes no sense. That's why, until I do that, I'm going to continue to limit posts to pure self-promotion: announcements for my new articles, radio appearances, and the like.
And speaking of that new venue, I tried several different options that for one reason or another didn't strike me as a right fit, but finally identified a new host I'm going to try. The holdup now is getting GoDaddy (another self-appointed arbiter of "acceptable" speech) to release my WarOnGuns.com domain name, and it looks like that process can take anywhere from seven to 10 days.
That means I'm probably looking at up to two more weeks before the rollout, and I still haven't decided if I'm going to try to migrate this existing blog to the new home. I'm leaning towards "not" since there will be formatting compatibility and search engine issues, I don't want to lose existing comments, technically I'm a child with no interest or time to change, plus the new place may not work out.
So: Keep holding the tips. I'll be back when I can. My own announcements will continue (a new Firearms News piece is out I'll be linking to after they fix a glaring typo I made in the first paragraph that also eluded spell check and Grammarly 😖).
Will Republicans ask him? How about Ranking Member Chuck Grassley? [More]
Perhaps if he was better at picking them in the first place, he wouldn’t need to end up angrily attacking so many he had nothing but high praise for in the beginning. [More]
In other words, police should be “Les Seules” armed and authorized to use force to stop criminal attacks, even in the home. [More]
Go to the show website to find an Alaska station or to listen online. They'll be calling me at 10:24 Eastern.
And no, this post doesn't mean the blog is back for business as usual. It means I'll continue using it for announcements promoting my stuff until I can settle in a new home, something I should have some time to seriously look into over the weekend.
“As such, they have an interest in the outcome of this case because a positive ruling in the instant matter will assist them in their efforts to have their lawful property returned to them in the future and will help guide other courts in reaching the correct conclusion which is that bumpstocks are not machineguns,” the brief elaborates.

Democratic Rep. Ami Bera of California says he was attacked by a rogue fox outside the US Capitol. [More]
Maybe if he wasn't an anti-gun fanatic he could have done something about that.
The thought strikes: That fox ended up being a bigger danger to a member of Congress than every one of the Jan. 6 "insurrectionists."
Then again, so did this Democrat.
As of today, we've released our grades and endorsements for U.S. Senate, statewide races, Ohio Supreme Court, and Court of Appeals. We will soon add U.S. House and other races. And we'll continue to update all races as stragglers complete our survey. [More]
Palm Springs is to spend $200,000 on a guaranteed income scheme that only applies to the city's transgender and nonbinary residents. [More]
Time for a remake...
So much for "equal protection."
Is there anything "progressives" don't make insane?
If what Julie Kelly is reporting here in this damning thread is true, then it’s quite possible there was straight-up election interference from the FBI in 2020. [More]
If it were, wouldn't we have heard about it first from "real reporters"?

In today's SSN (Shan Shan News), we find Shannon Watts shaming advice columnist, Amy Dickinson, better known as, Asking Amy, over her response to a reader needing advice. [More]
Not ideologically pure enough?
Any chance of getting these two in a cage match on pay-per-view...?
