...for if we let these rights lapse in the good times, they might never be recovered in time to resist the next appearance of criminals, terrorists, or tyrants.
@latimes Poorly written. Any proposed solutions other than money? Jailing people based on allegations? Restraining orders are a civil process for a reason. Due process matters. The article points at 'problems' but offers no meaningful solutions beyond 'more funding'.
🇺🇸 Minnesota got a legal warning from the Trump DOJ over its gun permit delays.
Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon says making people wait weeks, sometimes up to 30 days, to exercise their Second Amendment rights can cross a constitutional line.
Minnesota law currently gives sheriffs up to 30 days to process carry permits.
Dhillon’s message to Gov. Walz: fix the delays, or prepare for court.

Sticker?
27 C.F.R. § 478.31(b):
“No common or contract carrier shall require or cause any label, tag, or other written notice to be placed on the outside of any package, luggage, or other container indicating that such package, luggage, or other container contains a firearm.”
When living in Colorado and flying out of DEN I would invariably check a pistol in my luggage.
The DEN procedure is to then have a nice Somalian man who speaks no English come and take the gun-checked suitcase and roll it around the airport for a while.
The suitcase is then x-rayed--presumably to determine that it contains the gun I've already declared.
TSA then puts a special sticker on the suitcase to ensure that everyone who encounters it on its travels will know it contains a firearm, just in case they'd like to steal a gun.
Madness.
"Different tone". "Just like light bulbs, televisions"...Ah, fuck that.
Apparently, its to hell with the free market. Mama Big Government will determine what is best for us.
Now is a Time for Choosing. Government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem.
Right before 5pm today, the California Energy Commission’s spokesperson sent me an email urging me to “consider taking a different tone” w/ my reporting on state’s new tire rules.
Here’s the email and info for you to consider. Note: commissioners haven’t disputed 70% figure.
🚨BREAKING: 60 Minutes just aired Gavin Newsom's high speed rail being EXPOSED as the "QUINTESSENTIAL EXAMPLE of government waste and mismanagement."
"There are no trains. There's no track laid. It's a complete bait and switch."

A course on advanced weaponry funded by Pentagon wasn’t taught to American students—it was taught to Chinese students in Mandarin on this college campus.
This grant ended but this type of abuses continues with our tax dollars. CCP is laughing at us!
BREAKING: California Energy Commission led by Newsom-appointed David Hochschild, voted unanimously to regulate what tires you can buy to replace the tires on your car
They’re effectively banning about 70% of tires sold in CA because it’s not “energy efficient”
California voters! When will you stop putting up with this shit? Ridiculous gas tax, burdensome generator regulations, bans on gas powered yard tools?? That obviously was not enough for you!
Stop voting for more restrictions that make your life harder and more unaffordable!
This very odd bird who is now regulating what tires you can get in CA just gave away the whole scam. She cites high gas prices to justify it: "If we can bring down those costs even a little bit, why wouldn't we do it?"
Of course, no mention of reducing CA's self-imposed gas taxes that make our fuel costs 2X the national average. See the magic trick? They deliberately make your gas prices more expensive, to compel you to stop driving. Then they use the artificially high cost of fuel to impose further regulations and higher tire costs on you. The whole communist schtick is a positive feedback loop. It's the Arsonist-Firefighter Fallacy.
What's even more rich about this is that this is essentially an EV tax. EV ownership is skyrocketing, and what's their fatal flaw? They are VERY heavy vehicles, and they chew through tires like crazy. As the state has pushed more and more drivers into EVs, they're trying to find new ways to hurt drivers financially now that they're skipping out on the gas taxes. Devious, devious little commies.
Really? Wrong.

We can be rightly concerned about privacy abuses, but don't fucking lie or comment when you are ignorant.
Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:
MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”
“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”
“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”
“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”
“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”
“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”
“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”
“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”
“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”
“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”
“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”
[Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps]
“Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”
Stolen land? Should the US give it "back" to the Sioux? Then the Sioux should give it back to the Sahnish? And the Cheyenne? And the Kiowa? And the Crow? ALL of them claimed 'ownership'. Sioux took control by displacing other tribes through warfare and migration.
This Presidents’ Day I wanted to remind you That Mount Rushmore was built on stolen Indigenous land. 1877, the US federal government unilaterally seized the Black Hills — which now contain Mount Rushmore — from the Sioux, a direct violation of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868
Maybe brush up on the War Powers Act. Presidents from both parties have acted swiftly under its authority when national security’s on the line.
How are you a member of Congress? Your comments always show how stupid you are.
The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
This Los Angeles anti ICE rioter was hit in the arm with rubber munitions and broke her arm, putting her out of work.
She’s very sad and depressed.
What is your message to her?
You can’t make this stuff up!
At a Democrat rally today, Rep. Maxwell Frost proposed BLANKET AMNESTY for EVERY SINGLE ONE of the MILLIONS of ILLEGAL aliens Joe Biden let into the country.
Republicans will never let this dangerous idea happen. We must defend common sense and the rule of law.
Some Republican lawmakers in California are looking to eliminate sanctuary state laws in the wake of the recent immigration protests. https://t.co/x2oxFy0nBL
