Making it as easy as possible to register and vote even if you aren't allowed to has long been the Democrat strategy. How many does that add up to? According to this article, up to 100,000 illegitimate voters on the rolls, just in Pennsylvania.
California sued over broken gun registry by gun rights groups
Putting people in jail for being unable to comply with a law because the government screwed up their website seems like a violation of due process, on top of the 2nd Amendment issues.
PA, NJ illegally block 3d-printer designs for firearms
After DOJ settled the case seeking to block these designs from being published internationally, Pennsylvania and New Jersey decided to block them within the US. That's going to raise a ton of 1st Amendment issues and I really do hope that it also adds many zeros to the settlement check in Defense Distributed's civil rights lawsuit.
At the link, Sebastian makes the important point that these states are not enforcing the law. There is no law that makes it illegal to publish firearms designs on the internet at the state level. The company that posted them had just settled with the federal agencies charged with enforcing the export laws (the only ones relevant here for publishing gun designs) because those laws likely violate the First Amendment and the government was afraid to press the case and get a ruling to that effect. .
Looks like Trump has learned from what happened last time and is starting his demands (and/or negotiations) early rather than get shallacked at the last second with a spending bill he can't change.
More on the impeachment articles filed against Rosenstein
Rosenstein's behavior definitely deserves impeachment. Threatening to subpoena emails from Congressional staffers in retaliation for their document requests is just the cherry on the top of his involvement in the Mueller appointment, the FISA warrant approvals, and likely quite a bit more we just don't know yet.
I've been wondering this myself. Did people lose track of this aspect of the investigation? When Susan Rice denied asking for people to be unmasked despite the records showing that she may many such requests, did that not set off red flags for abuse and internal audits?
Preservation order for Comey's private emails sought
This is one of those things that is likely closing the barn door after the horses get out. If Comey had anything incriminating in those emails, that he recognized as incriminating (since he may well be blinded by his own moral arrogance), he has likely already deleted them. But we absolutely should check anyway.
Judge orders Fusion GPS to answer questions about dossier
You might expect that the trial date means we won't see any revelations about this before the midterm elections. But depositions usually happen before trial, likely well before trial as the lawyers need to prepare based on them. It seems likely we'll see leaks in October.
It sounds like a slam-dunk violation of the 2nd Amendment if any firearms were actually confiscated. If it was just boilerplate language that was never executed, it's still a violation, but the real world effects are likely to be minimal since no one would have standing to challenge it.
I suspect this behavior is actually a remnant of the past when it actually was politically helpful. Nowadays the ability to record, publish, and prove the violence makes it unhelpful. But in the past, if you could shut down a speaker with violence, threats, and intimidation... there was no way to prove it. There was no news.
Including a convicted rapist. Having an immigration policy debate is one thing, but pardoning violent criminals to prevent them being deported is just insane.
We now have Clapper and Strzok who are both saying that either the White House, or Obama specifically, set in motion the intelligence operations against the Trump campaign and was kept informed the whole time. Indeed, in Strzok's words, "the White House is running this."
And Obama probably still is.
America has already proven more resistant to his flavor of tin-man dictatorship than the third-world countries he grew up in, but final victory remains to be seen. Will Obama lead the Deep State in successfully removing Trump, or at least protecting the corrupt elements from facing consequences? Or will justice prevail in the end?
How the Youtube video selection algorithm works...
Over at the Gun Free Zone, one of the authors reports on a selection of videos delivered via autoplay and youtube's suggested video algorithm. I think there's a simple way to explain this. I think YouTube's algorithm attempts to detect people with stereotypically right-wing beliefs -- such as opposition to gun control -- and is determined to feed them propaganda until they are appropriately reeducated.
The fact that Horowitz refused to take calls on this casts his entire report into doubt. His job wasn't to fix the problems, it was yet another modified limited hangout. Drop the information already known, but keep the remedies in-house and out of course by refusing to admit to bias actually influencing anything even in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Details here. I have no way of knowing if it is accurate, but it would explain a lot, and Obama has documented close connections to Iran with his other advisers.
I'm surprised Clinton still holds a clearance. Entirely aside from her email fiasco, which would be grounds to revoke it, she hasn't held an official government position since 2013 when she stepped down as Secretary of State. As a presidential candidate she might have been given a clearance but she lost. These things should expire in a reasonable time period, and five years since 2013 is more than enough time for a clearance to expire.
