America is a place with a people & a history & a culture. It is not an enterprise zone, a piece of parchment, a welfare delivery system, or a proposition.

@ABC Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson says a lot of dumb shit. She claims she can't define what a woman is because she says "I’m not a biologist."

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson says her colleagues' handling of the Louisiana voting rights case may have compromised the court's impartiality in political matters. abcnews.link/XxS5GKg

@cdrsalamander I always had to wrap a piece of electrical tape around mine to keep the barrel from coming unscrewed in my pocket.

This has been at least 20 maybe 25 years since it was last used. It still works.

@PolitiBunny And on the other end of each DM:

My DMs are open for work because people I may not know or follow often send me tips and posts. That being said, I just figured out there is a hidden section of DM requests from people I don't follow and HOOBOY. So many hot chicks are hitting me up for a good time, lol. Hooboy.

@Evelyn_Club @JesseKellyDC

@JesseKellyDC Dude you're just making a fool out of yourself now. Amazing how much self confidence one can get when having lots of followers. I've lived in the US for 7.5 fucking years. Worst time of my life. Shit country. Shit food. Shit cars. Shit people. Enjoy your shittiness. 😘

Why are still Euro-chirping at me? Run out to your tiny apartment patio and grab your clothes off line before the wind blows them away. Hopefully they’re dry by now.

@GrumpyTechBro @PolitiBunny @stclairashley That chick is a self-parody of a self-parody. Utterly hollow.

@PolitiBunny @stclairashley for calling her a bimbo the week after she called herself that, and long before the Elon baby mama drama... Various Neo Nazi blocks for telling them the talmud they're quoting doesn't exist.

Still my favorite block. :) Ok, need to know your favorite blocks. lol

@SurelyNotHank @andrewsiff @deaflibertarian @The_Empty_Queue There are no good guys in a war. There are bad guys and really bad guys. Good Guys vs Bad Guys is for the 9 year olds watching cowboys and Indians in the 1960s

Regardless of the outcome of Spencer Pratt’s race, what he’s doing is authentically American. See a problem, become a part of the solution. His campaign ads are unconventional, but that’s the point; it’s refreshing. Instead of speaking like a career politician, he’s speaking as an American who sees and deeply understands how fragile the simple things in life are when leadership fails. This is what this country is all about. Citizens willing to step into the political arena, unafraid, and challenge a failing system, much like the one that has destroyed Los Angeles. I hope moments like this inspire more Americans to throw their names into the mix, run for office, get involved and stand up for what makes this country exceptional.

@andrewsiff @deaflibertarian @The_Empty_Queue Have to disagree. Several wars have been won by the good guys, and all wars are fought to force the other guys into compliance.

@LeadingReport Not a surprise, not really a concern either for law abiding citizens

The CIA can access your phone and laptop microphones and cameras, per former CIA officer John Kiriakou.

@Amer1can_Barbie Doubt I'd like him even if he was a useful piece of shit.

John Thune is a useless piece of shit. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

@DailyCaller They got what they voted for. My reaction:

@kadillaic @CrankyHankJ "Stop making unflattering assumptions" … says the guy making unflattering assumptions.

@CrankyHankJ Stop trying to treat us like we are all fucking monkey-brain retards lol. You get your stereotypes from a very loud minority and stupid ass TikTok/Instagram videos.

When you read the word "history," you should recognize it as shorthand for "life's cheat code" … or "a very long record of other people's mistakes." Most Americans don't bother to learn from history. Because books are boring. Most Americans learn things the hard way.

@SeanMcCarthyCom @LorrieBoca Pack your lunch, you arrogant little fuck.

@LorrieBoca Yeah you are an out of touch boomer who doesn’t understand what the world is like for the next generation entering the workforce during a cost of living crisis

Lunch just costs $28 now. Are they not supposed to eat?

Hey, @SteveDeaceShow … learn to stop yammering yammering yammering with qualification after qualification after qualification. GET. TO. THE. POINT. Your audience doesn't need a dissertation. Ask your guest short, punchy questions & then shut your mouth.

@MrLeadslinger @StephenM There you go again, being all Constitution-y and principled and shit. Only RINO cucks defy Trump the god king, who decides anew each day which way the weathervane points, all praise be upon him. Get in line and kiss the Golden One's ass like a true conservative ought.

@StephenM They all should’ve voted against it.

Massie joined ALL Democrats in voting against the single most important legislative achievement in modern history (the one Big Beautiful Bill) that provided record historic funding for ICE and Border Patrol and the critical authorities to defend the homeland.

The budding surveillance state loves suckups like this guy.

@hugelycaffeine @regularguyguns @TactiCoolMemes How many of my fundamental individual rights are you willing to shred in order to gain the illusion of safety? I'd like to know.

Flock was used to stop a spree shooter in Austin yesterday. The city of Austin canceled its Flock subscription last year and despite the efforts of hundreds of officers and multiple police helicopters over several hours, they were unable to locate the shooters. The shooters were located when they passed a flock camera in Manor, TX (pop 21,000).

Maybe you wonder why I, a mere gun blog, makes a big deal about Flock and similar tech? OK here’s a real world situation that can easily happen and has likely happened. Unfortunately to drive on public roads without getting hassled by the cops, your car needs a license plate. That’s tied to you, the owner of the vehicle. Flock isn’t just a traffic camera, it’s an AI/ML enabled (wait for it) flock of cameras that transmit all their video and audio to the mothership. Not a government server somewhere but, to keep it simple, a big giant cloud computer instance owned and run by Flock, the company. Government users, as well as Flock employees here in the US and overseas, can log in and query the system based on license plate number or even vehicle description and get a full history of that vehicle’s movements throughout the Flock network over multiple jurisdictions. Someone in New York can track a car from Armonk all the way to Homestead FL if they feel like it from the comfort of their desk. On a daily level, someone can get a pretty accurate picture of someone’s life just by monitoring their movements via Flock. And I’m using this example to rattle the cage of the “back the blue unconditionally” crowd in 2A. OK - your car has license plate ABC 123 - and Flock knows this. Someone can enter your tag in Flock and see what you are doing on a daily basis. You leave your home where the neighborhood is under the Flock panopticon. Flock sees you drive to Dunkin’ on Main Street, then you drop your kid off at XYZ Daycare. Then you go to work at the local IT consulting firm in ZZZ industrial park. You go pick up a quick deli sandwich for lunch at Food Lion. You go back to work. On the way home you stop off at Bob’s Guns, and stay for 20 minutes while buying some ammo. Then you go home. Everywhere there’s a Flock camera. Now Flock knows the following about you: - You live at 123 Wisteria Lane - Your kid is in daycare (means he’s likely under 5) - You work at ZZZ - You go cheap on lunch - You own at least one gun Your license plate is tied to you so they now have your name and assumed-to-be-private details of your life, like that you are armed. On the reverse of that, the Flock camera outside of Bob’s Guns has been recording the plates of everyone going into the parking lot. No need for a firearms registry when Flock is doing the work. All of this is done without a warrant and the data is available to anyone with a certain level of access to the system, whether it’s a cop, or a Flock technician in the Philippines. FYI Flock uses overseas contractors for support and AI annotation. The 2018 Carpenter decision at SCOTUS ruled that pervasive surveillance where one can divine private details of someone’s life is a 4th Amendment violation in absence of a specific warrant. Flock is illegal, unconstitutional and immoral. And a danger to everyone, not just gun owners.
