The Other McCain starts things off with The J6 Committee Tantrum

This is not how discourse in a democratic society is supposed to operate. Controversies over public policy would never occur, if we all shared the same set of beliefs, and so the fact that there is controversy about any subject (in this case, the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election) requires a public hearing of arguments on both sides of the dispute, so that the electorate may be fully informed. The J6 Committee deliberately avoided such a discussion. Indeed, the whole purpose of this committee (which, by the way, lacks legitimacy under the normal rules of House procedure) was to criminalize doubt about the 2020 election.

Ammoland - New UPS Policy Requires Unlimited Access to Firearms Shipper’s Books

Firearms sellers started to receive a new agreement that they must sign to ship firearms through UPS. The letter contains new provisions in addition to the requirements announced last month. The most concerning of these new regulations is that UPS requires gun companies to turn over customer data and must allow UPS access to review and examine the shipper’s books and records relevant to the products being shipped upon request. The shipper must also provide UPS with invoices for any firearms-related products.

Professor David Yamane at Gun Curious - “Like Many Aspects of Life, You Actually Need to DO It” (Fall 2022 Student Range Visit Reflection #8). And you should be reading his work, and watching his videos.

This is the eighth of several student gun range field trip reflection essays from my fall 2022 Sociology of Guns seminar (see reflection #1 and reflection #2 and reflection #3 and reflection #4 and reflection #5 and reflection #6 and reflection #7). The assignment to which students are responding can be found here. I am grateful to these students for their willingness to have their thoughts shared publicly.

Don Surber - Democrat coalition melting

America is a melting pot, not a salad. Democrats do not want their voters melting -- assimilating -- into the American culture because that culture is Republican. The Democrat culture is turning boys into girls into boys to appease the LGBT crowd that is so important to campaign funding. That's just one of the turnoffs for Americans. Bidenomics is another.

Power Line - Defund Your Police, Not Mine

We and many others have noted that the same leftists who demand that the police be defunded spend large amounts of campaign cash or public funds on armed security. Because they are special.

Victory Girls - Fauci: Don’t Blame Me For School Lockdowns

The man cannot retire fast enough. Fauci is trying to rewrite history. The school lockdowns weren’t his fault. No sirree, don’t blame the little troll. He had nothing to do with any of it!
