BREAKING: Trump Announces Iran-Israel Cease Fire; UPDATE: Iranians Confirm; UPDATE: Netanyahu Confirms
https://hotair.com/ed-
Let’s assume Trump got this agreement from both parties. This came about a few hours after Iran put on a staged light show over Qatar, which clearly intended to give Khamenei a face-saving exit from an existential threat from Trump and the US military. It came less than two days after the US destroyed at least part of Iran’s nuclear-weapons development program. And it came an hour after Khamenei tweeted boldly about his courage from the safety of the bunker he apparently hasn’t left in twelve days:

Political Violence Surges Because Politics Matter Too Much
https://reason.com/2025/06/23/
We’ve made government so powerful that people will fight rather than surrender control to the enemy…As should be obvious to anybody following news about riots, assassinations, and arson attacks, politics have become far too important in America. With government large, growing, and reaching into every nook and cranny of our lives, Americans perceive politics as too much of a high-stakes game to lose. And so, they have divided into hostile camps to make sure their side comes out on top—and some turn ideological conflict into literal war.
Is This Why the Left Is Throwing a Tantrum Over Trump’s Air Strikes Against Iran?
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/
The reaction was predictable—the copy was laughable. After President Donald Trump launched precision air strikes against numerous Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, a shambolic, Trump-deranged, brain-rotted Democratic Party trashed the president for engaging in another endless war with this illegal military action. They can’t think of anything that doesn’t make them look like idiots.Remove Trump, I’d say there would be healthy supermajorities in both chambers supporting these strikes. That’s what’s a bit humorous here. Based on some of the statements, Barack Obama would’ve been impeached by his own party for the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and his air campaign against Gaddafi in Libya.
Oh, You Know the Libs Are Going to Riot Over This Story About Trump’s Iran Strikes
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/
The Democratic Party is going through it right now: they all agree that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, but they also don’t want to do anything to stop them from accomplishing that feat. Tehran cannot have nukes, but we cannot bomb them because of x, y, and z—all the reasons they’ve given are idiotic. When you boil everything down, it’s because Trump is president. What else is new?…Top Democrats on Capitol Hill say they weren’t briefed in advance of the U.S. attack on Iran on Saturday…There’s a simple reason for that move: Democrats would’ve leaked it. Meanwhile, the Pentagon, which I was told was in total disarray under Pete Hegseth, kept this mission under wraps for all the right reasons. Democrats can’t be trusted. Their opinions on public policy and their supporters are all to the detriment of the country’s health. They cannot and shall not be privy to operations of this nature.

Iran Launches Missiles At U.S. Bases in Qatar

Reports indicate that Iran has launched a volley of seven ballistic missiles targeting American military bases in Iraq and Qatar.

The ayatollahs were given a clear choice between peace and annihilation, and it seems they have foolishly chosen the latter. For years, they grew accustomed to the weak-kneed appeasement of the Obama administration, which showered them with pallets of cash in the dead of night, and then, of course, that appeasement continued under the Biden administration.

NSSF Debunks Anti-Suppressor Lies
https://bearingarms.com/
Sen. Chris Murphy
Among the loudest voices is Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who posted to X, “A hidden provision of the bill…wait for it…legalizes gun silencers!! What?? So now criminals will be able to hide their crimes and police will lose the ability to respond to mass shootings. WTF.” He followed that up by also posting a speech, saying “silencers” will allow murderers to commit crimes in secret, claiming the firearm report would be completely silenced, “Silencers are the tools of killers, they are the tools of criminals, period, stop.”…Sen. Mark Kelly, who tried to claim that suppressors would render technology like ShotSpotter useless. The fact that ShotSpotter itself claims it can detect suppressed gunfire debunks that nonsense.
That’s a lie.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) couldn’t help himself. “Who wants a silencer? Not the average citizen,”…“They’re law-abiding. Not our police officers. They’re against these provisions that allow anyone to get a silencer. The only people who want silencers are criminals because they don’t want people to hear their bad, horrible, deadly deeds.”…I don’t want one because I’m planning on killing anyone. I want one because, God forbid, I ever have to defend my home against invasion. I’d much rather deal with just the psychological trauma of taking a life without everyone in my house having to also deal with the physical trauma of having their hearing damaged. I want to see people have them readily available to reduce the noise at gun ranges, so we stop seeing these battles from neighbors trying to force them out due to noise. And I’m sick of people slinging lies to try and justify preventing any of that from happening.
When the Streets Don’t ‘Run Red With Blood’

I remember hearing anti-gunners make claims about how “the streets will run red with blood” should some pro-gun measure pass.

Gun control advocates routinely claim that without some law, violence will take hold and we’ll have blood everywhere…Gun control doesn’t work, and the studies that claim it does can all be debunked pretty easily. They’re not even clever about it because the biased media won’t poke at them too much. They’ll just repeat what the claim is without any critical thinking.

Gutting inspections helps no one but rogue gun dealers and those who seek to do us harm.

We love salmon in our home, and I cook it in a variety of different ways. This, however, is my “signature” recipe and it’s the one I get requests for most often. This salmon can be eaten with “the usual suspects” as sides (pasta/potato/rice, salad/steamed veg), or you can shred it after cooking and toss it over a cold salad for a summer treat. Check out the notes below, as there are cooking options listed!
Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 400*F. In a high edge pan or cast iron pan, add some olive oil or other heat safe oil and spread it over the bottom of the pan. Add in your salmon pieces, skin down. Drizzle with soy sauce, the half of a lemon’s juice, about a tablespoon or more of the vinegar, and a dash of wine if you like. Then top with the garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. You can use dried herbs, about a total of a tablespoon of herbs per 6 oz of salmon. Fresh herbs are, in my opinion, better.
Pop the salmon into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Using a thermometer, check for a finished temperature between 125* and 145* F (I like mine more rare, but some people don’t like to risk it and cook it for longer). Check the temp at the fattest part of the salmon. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can try flaking the fat part of the salmon; when it flakes easily and is no longer fleshy and dark pink, it’s ready.
Let this sit on the counter, out of the oven, for about five minutes. This lets the juices settle and the flavors mingle.
Notes:
You can cook this on your stove top, at a medium heat. Using a pan large enough for your salmon, begin with the salmon skin-side down. Cook until you start to see the cooked part of the salmon not quite to the half way point. Flip the salmon over, and continue to cook for about 2 minutes, then flip so the skin is down again. Cook until the salmon is done (see instructions above). If you have a very fat part of salmon, you can put a couple of tablespoons of water or wine or broth into the pan and put a lid over it while cooking.
You can cook this on your grill! If you have a fish grill basket, you can use that. If you don’t, then use a cast iron pan or pick up disposable mesh grill mats. Don’t try to grill salmon directly on your grill bars, because they’re too far apart and your salmon will end up in the fire, and you will be sad.
Though I haven’t tried it, I’d warrant you could even cook this in your air fryer or your slow cooker (though I’d be wary of that last). Enjoy!

English Required for Citizenship – But Not at the Polls
https://amac.us/newsline/
For all the debate in recent years about how mass unchecked illegal immigration threatens election integrity, there’s one glaring apparent contradiction in American law that almost no one is talking about – and it might be enabling noncitizens to vote. To become a U.S. citizen – and therefore gain the right to vote in federal elections – noncitizens must pass a naturalization test that measures both English language proficiency and knowledge of U.S. history and government. English proficiency is determined by the ability to “read, write, speak, and understand English,” with applicants required to read one sentence, write one sentence, and respond meaningfully to questions in English…that requirement is in apparent conflict with Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act, which mandates translated voting materials—ballots, instructions, and notices—in counties where a significant number of voting-age citizens belong to a single language minority group and have limited English proficiency…The Voting Rights Act, originally passed in 1965 and amended over the years, was critical in ending racial discrimination at the polls and expanding access to the ballot box. But with illegal immigration now a national crisis, there’s legitimate reason for concern that progressive activists and politicians are exploiting Section 203 to enable noncitizen voting – especially in left-leaning states and cities with lax enforcement of election laws to begin with…The Founders envisioned a republic where free citizens deliberated in a shared public language. As debates over immigration and national identity grow more divisive, preserving English as the common civic language is more important than ever. If English is necessary to gain citizenship, it should be necessary at the ballot box too.

At this point, through incoherent shouting, a group of people tried to break through the line.

‘Most jacked up thing I’ve ever heard’: Texas Dems OPPOSED bill to keep squatters out of homes
https://www.bizpacreview.com/
Texas took “decisive action” in favor of property owners last month when legislation known as the “Squatters Bill” was passed, offering protection against bad-faith tenants and serial squatters. Predictably, Democrats opposed the bill using a familiar argument seen from the party when it comes to deporting illegal immigrants, claiming due process was “being stripped” from squatters…“Texas ranks #2 in the nation for squatting, that is a crisis,” Bettencourt said. “Property owners are facing financial devastation and dangerous confrontations, from a $6,000 dental bill after a squatter dropped a refrigerator on a woman, to over $130,000 in legal fees just to evict unlawful occupants. That ends now, as this is a focused anti-squatters bill.”

https://bearingarms.com/
A three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a district court ruling declaring California’s “1-in-30” gun rationing law an unconstitutional infringement on the right to keep and bear arms. Judge Danielle Jo Forrest, an appointee of Donald Trump, authored the unanimous opinion holding the California law is “facially unconstitutional because the plain text of the Second Amendment protects the possession of multiple firearms and protects against meaningful constraints on the acquisition of firearms through purchase.” That last bit is particularly interesting, because it calls into question other California gun laws, including attempts by municipalities and counties to zone gun stores out of existence, as well as the state’s prohibition on gun shows on state property.

Trump Launches Assault on Iran’s Nuclear Program
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” –President Donald J. Trump…”We’re not looking for a ceasefire. We’re looking for a total and complete victory. Again, you know what the victory is: no nuclear weapon,” Trump said at the White House. “I don’t want to get involved either, but I’ve been saying for 20 years — maybe longer — that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
United States Bombs Iran, Trump Puts Out Statement
https://redstate.com/bonchie/
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that American bombers had struck three separate nuclear facilities, including the underground enrichment facility in Fordow, which had become the biggest point of contention since strikes began…While the president didn’t confirm it, the bombings were likely done by B-2 bombers that had been positioned in Guam just hours earlier. It’s assumed that they used 30,000-pound GBU-57 bunker busters to penetrate deep into the ground and end Iran’s nuclear threat. Even if the Mullahs survive, it will now take decades for them to rebuild, given the damage that was done…. Trump deserves a lot of credit for standing by his red line and taking action here, something his predecessors refused to do. This also sends a message to America’s enemies outside of Iran that we are not to be trifled with.

US Bombs Iran, Trump Announces ‘Very Successful Attack’ on Nuclear Site

Say Hello To My Li’l Friend
https://townhall.com/
…we’ve got a “li’l friend” stashed in the hangar—a 30,000-pound Bunker Buster bomb that can punch a hole straight through the gates of hell. And oh, by the way: only we have it. Only we can fly it. And only one man on planet Earth has the brass to use it properly…I’m talking about President Donald J. Trump—the only man with the judgment, strength, and clarity to end Iran’s nuclear program without ever setting foot on Iranian soil…Trump—being Trump—won’t go trigger-happy. He never does. He’s not a neocon looking for regime change or a warmonger needing to prove anything. Trump’s doctrine is simple: no boots, no nation-building, no apologies.
U.S. Ramps Up Surveillance Amid Fears Of Iran-Backed Sleeper Cells
https://www.zerohedge.com/
…Homeland, concerns are flourishing over the possible activation of Iran-backed operatives…law enforcement officials have stepped up surveillance of Iran-backed operatives in the United States…Late last year, federal prosecutors charged an operative of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and two U.S.-based people with plotting to surveil and assassinate critics of the Iranian regime. The IRGC operative allegedly told investigators he was pushed by unnamed IRGC officials to plan an attack against Mr. Trump…former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams “Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed a thousand for this attack. First off, I think there are more than a thousand Al-Qaeda members in the United States, but for the Homeland Attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda is saying, so they could exaggerate it; however, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas Attack so the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks.”…The overlap between the Israel-Iran conflict and an elevated U.S. counter-terrorism posture signals a rising domestic threat environment should President Trump decide on direct military action. Open southern borders over the past four years via the globalists in the Biden-Harris regime have markedly increased uncertainty about the number of IRGC- or Hezbollah-linked operatives inside the country. In the event of a U.S. strike on Iran, these terror networks could conduct retaliatory attacks against high-visibility or soft targets.

Now We Know Why the Minnesota Assassin Story Disappeared Overnight
https://pjmedia.com/matt-
Have you wondered why the story of the Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter has suddenly vanished from the news? Now we have a pretty good idea why…Initial media coverage was rife with speculation, with left-leaning outlets eager to cast Boelter as a MAGA Republican, hastily blaming the GOP and even President Donald Trump for inciting his shooting spree…Yet the letter found in Boelter’s abandoned vehicle tells a radically different story, one that not only exposes the media’s rush to judgment and political opportunism but sudden drop in coverage….According to the Star-Tribune, Boelter believed he was acting under the supposed orders of Democrat Gov. Tim Walz. Boelter’s incoherent letter, about a page and a half long, bizarrely claimed that killing Sen. Amy Klobuchar was necessary to clear the way for Walz to run for the U.S. Senate…In short, Boelter is just a wacko.

Supreme Court Allows Victims of Terrorist Attacks Overseas to Sue in US Courts
https://www.ldsavow.com/forum/
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 20 unanimously upheld a law that empowers Americans harmed by terrorist attacks abroad to sue in U.S. courts. The majority opinion in the 9–0 decision was written by Chief Justice Roberts…The legal issue is whether the extraterritoriality provisions of the federal Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism (PSJVTA) Act are consistent with the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, according to the petition filed on July 3, 2024…the PSJVTA amended the federal Anti-Terrorism Act, which had created a right for victims of terror attacks committed against Americans outside the United States to sue in U.S. courts. The Anti-Terrorism Act was inspired by a lawsuit brought against the PLO for the 1985 killing of wheelchair-bound American cruise ship passenger Leon Klinghoffer “who was shot in the face and thrown into the sea by PLO hijackers”

Paxton said WEX Bank terminated their services with DSG, ultimately causing the group to close their doors.

Trump Bombed Iran, So We May Soon Know How Many Terrorist Sleeper Cells Came into America Under Biden
https://pjmedia.com/
…The grimmer toll could easily come right here at home, thanks to the Open Border policies of the Biden administration that literally allowed pretty much anybody to cross into this country. But don’t expect the mainstream media to provide honest reporting about the severity of this threat… it was Biden’s policies that made it easy for the Iranian terrorist planners and strategists to move terrorist sleeper cells across our border with Mexico. To grasp this reality, here’s what the House Homeland Security Committee reported in Oct. 2024…………..Nobody knows with certainty, of course, precisely how many radical Islamic Revolutionary Guards terrorist sleeper cells there currently are in this country, awaiting orders to launch devastating attacks across the country. Just imagine suicide bombers assaulting the U.S. Capitol, or detonating themselves in crowded public places, or unleashing random shooting on a crowded street in New York, Chicago, Denver, LA, etc. And it’s not just Iran. There is no reason to assume that other extremist Muslim groups don’t also have sleeper cells here. The ISIS threat has revived in recent years, and let’s not forget that at least 20,000 young Chinese males are known to have crossed into the country during the Biden era. China is our most dangerous adversary, and one of Iran’s most significant allies.
‘There Will Be Peace Or… Tragedy for Iran’: Trump Addresses the Nation on US Bombing of Iran
https://www.westernjournal.
Just hours after announcing that American bombers had struck three Iranian nuclear facilities, President Donald Trump spoke from the White House late Saturday night, saying Iran needed to choose between “peace” or “tragedy” in the days and weeks to come…“Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror,” Trump said during his address from the White House. “Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.” “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace,” the president continued. “If they do not, future attacks will be far greater — and a lot easier.” Trump went on to note that “for 40 years, Iran has been saying ‘Death to America’ … They have been killing our people.” “I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue,”

Trump’s Audacious Deception, Tight OpSec, Shocking Stealth in Lead-Up to Hit on Iran’s Nuke Sites
https://pjmedia.com/victoria-
The first word anyone heard of American B-2 bomber strikes on Iranian nuclear sites was by President Donald Trump…There was nary a leak. There was no chest beating from Congress. No reports of “we hear that…” The operational security leading to this strike on a Saturday appears to have been flawless…While all the pieces on the chess board were being moved—doomsday planes, B-2, carrier strike groups—the Trump Administration deployed multiple feints to lull the mullahs into thinking they had a little time to get out of this dilemma. Trump told the Iranian leadership, or what remains of it after Israel’s tactical strikes on their penthouses, that he’d give them up to two weeks to give up their nuclear enrichment program…the U.S. Air Force bombers used six 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrators — bunker busters — on the Fordow nuclear site…The other two Iranian nuclear sites at Natanz and Isfahan, softened up by Israeli bombs, were struck by U.S. Navy submarines in the region using a reported 30 Tomahawk missiles. The World War II generation was told that “loose lips sink ships.” Trump made sure that this generation of war fighters kept everything on closer-than-close hold.
Trump’s Decision to Bomb Iran Exposes the Failures of Previous U.S. Leadership at Highest Level
https://pjmedia.com/rick-
Following the Iranian revolution that created the present regime in 1979, Iran found itself in possession of much of the infrastructure that formed the basis of its nuclear weapons program. In 1974, the Shah announced his intention to “produce roughly 23,000 megawatts of electrical power from a series of nuclear power stations within 20 years,”…The Germans built two reactors at Bushehr, and the French supplied two additional, smaller reactors. By 1979, Iran had invested $1 billion in an enrichment plant and had begun to master the nuclear fuel cycle of enriching uranium into a usable fuel for reactors…By the early 1990s, Russia and China (with North Korean technicians) were accelerating Iran’s bomb development. Everything was going well for Iran and it was on track to possess a nuclear weapon sometime in the early 2000s…While the CIA was telling presidents that the Iranians had stopped trying to build a bomb in 2003 after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, work continued on a bomb until the window to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon closed. Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities was more than 40 years in the making and represents a generational failure of leadership of historic proportions. Each president in turn—beginning with George H. W. Bush, through Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, the first Trump administration, and Joe Biden—acknowledged the Iranian threat of a nuclear weapon but refused to act on it. Trump correctly interpreted Iran’s intentions during his first term. Whether he would have gone after Iran’s nuclear program in a second term will never be known. The fact that he’s finishing a job that Joe Biden should have done is an indication that Trump had no illusions about Iran’s capability or intent to build a nuclear bomb. Apologists for previous presidents will point out that the Iranian threat was not an “existential” one at the time. They were kicking the can down the road, hoping a successor would do what they were unwilling to do.

Of those 4.5 million, about 1.8 million are noncitizens.”

Nobody wins if we go to war.”…but one dedicated individual willing to sacrifice himself others win is one thing (Kamikaze), but when you have a full culture and government who not only don’t care if their people die, but mass death of other countries and themselves are treated as divine mandates and due full obedience, then the game of who has nukes changes drastically…Is anybody with some amount of rationally brain is willing to bet that Iran will not use nukes once they make them? And especially if the USA is perceived as weak and decadent? Israel will be a nuclear wasteland (Gaza included for those Pro Palestinians about to applaud) and probably one or more of the big cities in CONUS. Moscow and/or Saint Petersburg may also get repaved nuclear flat in “payback” for the Chechens. And then, the Middle East will glow in the dark for a very long time once both countries reply in kind twice over. “But we are not a war with Iran!” Bullcrap. We have been in a low-intensity conflict with the assholes since 1979 and playing their game ever since.

While virtually all leftists hate Trump with hysterical, lunatic intensity, Omar goes them all one better, and she is in the process of transforming Trump-hatred into a veritable new art form…Omar has gone all the other Trump-haters one better by claiming that Orange Man Bad is not just a new Hitler who is destroying “our democracy” (the term leftists like to use to refer to their own hegemony), but that he is destroying the country itself, and reducing it to the level of a third-world hellhole…It was Omar’s friends and colleagues, her fellow leftist apparatchiks, who did far more to reduce the U.S. to third-world status than Trump ever did…So she loves Somalia and longs to live there. She thinks America, meanwhile, is among “the worst of countries.” Yet despite her expressed hope in the 2022 video, she is likely to remain in the country she hates. After all, there is so much more work to do in order to ensure its destruction.

The Jihad Wing of the Democrat Party Weighs in on the Iran Strike and It’s Predictably Hysterical

Within minutes of Saturday night’s successful U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the jihad wing of the U.S. Democrat Party threw a public wing ding, threatened to impeach the president, and one of them was given a star turn on Tehran TV…Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) issued a statement claiming that the strikes “mark a dangerous and reckless escalation of an already volatile conflict in the Middle East.” She added, “Military strikes will not bring peace. They will only provoke more violence, destabilize the region, and endanger U.S. troops and civilians.” Furthermore, she claimed that no effort at diplomacy had been taken, saying, “We’ve seen what happens when diplomacy is sidelined in favor of bombs.” She apparently doesn’t remember that the mullahs left the negotiating table in Europe…The mission was flawlessly carried off because nobody leaked the details, whispered to a reporter, or dropped a dime to a mullah. But Omar was joined by Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib (D-Gaza), who demanded to know why they were not told the details of the mission and allowed to give their consent.
We’re sure the lawfare crowd will try to tie up Trump in the courts over this issue. The Authorized Use of Military Force doesn’t include Iran, according to Just Security, but there is room under the Constitution in which the president may use force “to protect an important national interest.”

…“A purity spiral occurs,” he wrote, “when a community becomes fixated on implementing a single value that has no upper limit, and no single agreed interpretation. The result is a moral feeding frenzy.”…Mao’s cultural revolution provides another classic example. In the late 1960s, the Red Guards took to the street to identify and destroy anyone and anything involved with traditional Chinese culture. The result was an industrial-scale orgy of murder and destruction… The woke shift their language all the time, so that words that were one day fine are now utterly reprehensible. You can’t keep up — which is the point. … The result is an exercise of cultural power through linguistic distortion…Courage has been in notably short supply in Western countries in recent years as people have allowed petty bureaucrats to turn them into sheep who parrot absurd ideas about sexuality, litter their business cards and correspondence with meaningless phonemes they call “pronouns,” and obediently quiver in place and refuse to be seen out-of-doors without a mask. What we need is a short course in George Orwell, who knew that the surest first step in battling tyranny is having the courage to call things by their real names.

(Feature Image is Raymond M. DiGuiseppe, who argued the case before the Ninth Circuit merits panel)
This was a big case with all the big names involved. We had Chuck Michel and Anna Barvir from Michel & Associates PC. If there is a Second Amendment case happening in California, they are likely to be there. The NRA was there. Erin Murphy, Paul Clement, Matthew Rowen, and Nicholas Gallagher from Clement & Murphy. You should know their names, think Bruen.
Regardless, Raymond is the one that argued and ran this case.
This was a unanimous opinion by all three judges. This is great. It is a win for The People. The 1 gun per 30 days is currently enjoined. The people of The People’s Republic of California have one of the rights the rest of the citizens of these United States enjoy.
Is this judgment going to stand? I do not believe so. The People have had a few wins in the district courts of California, and we have had a few wins with merits panels of the Ninth Circuit. In every case, the Ninth Circuit has then agreed to hear the case en banc and reversed the merits panel.
According to one of the judges that sits on the Ninth Circuit, the Ninth Circuit is over 150 to 0 against The People in Second Amendment cases.
In 1999, the state of California enacted a one-gun-a-month law. The law banned the purchase of more than one “concealable handgun” per 30-day period. In 2019, the law was extended to “handgun, semiautomatic centerfire rifle, completed frame or receiver, or firearm precursor part”.
You just have to love that made up term “firearm precursor part”. Does that mean a billet of 6061? Does it mean a raw forging of aluminum? Does it mean an 80% lower? Yeah, when does it stop being a pipe from The Home Depot, and it becomes a firearm precursor part?
The plaintiffs in the district case became Appellees at the circuit level are the good guys. They wanted to buy more than one firearm per month. The case is a facial challenge to the law.
The judges looked at this case “de novo”, or as if it were new. Because the case was a facial challenge, they only considered the text of the statute. It is the burden of the plaintiffs (good guys) to establish that no set of circumstances exists under which the law would be valid.
This is correctly stated and a good summary. It is at this point where most of the rogue, inferior, courts go off the rails.
Teixeira was decided in 2017, against The People. Yet, it is quoted multiple times. Ezell v City of Chicago, in front of the Seventh Circuit court in 2011, was also a loss for The People. Both cases preceded Bruin and as such need to be reanalyzed in light of the Bruen analysis. In other words, they are likely bad law.
They did not cite to Minneapolis Star & Tribune C v. Minnesota. This is because that case is a Supreme Court opinion and was a much stronger indictment for not messing with The People’s rights via restricting ancillary actions. In that case, the state (bad guys) put a tax on the ink purchased by large newspapers.
The phrase “meaningful constraints” is where this opinion starts to go sideways. Because they are quoting case law from before Bruen they are sneaking in “interest balancing”. The state does not get to decide what is or is not a “meaningful constraint.”
They don’t get to because they always extend it to far. Is a $200 tax on a firearm accessory that much of a constraint? Is a requirement for government permission to purchase a firearm accessory? Or to ask for permission to move it across state lines?
According to the federal government, it is not a meaningful constraint. Nor does the state of California think it is a meaningful constraint.
This makes the statement erroneous. This is why I call foul on citing to bad case law to support current cases.
California argued that the Second Amendment doesn’t guarantee a right to possess multiple firearms, and even if it did, restricting the frequency of firearm purchases is not a meaningful constraint.
This panel swatted that one down. They point out that if the state was right and because things apart from firearms are arms. The state could argue that if a person owned a knife could be banned from purchasing a firearm.
They get the plain text section right.
Unfortunately, only in part. They claim that delays that serve presumptively valid purposes are constitutional but that in this particular case, the law purpose of the delay is the delay.
They found that there is no history or tradition of meter the exercise of a constitutional right.
Of course, the infringers use the “nuanced approach” argument. That phrase now makes me sick. It tells me the bad guys are about to lie through their teeth and expect me to smile.
Here the court reaches the correct conclusion but for the wrong reasons. This can be bad for the Second Amendment rights of the People.
The nuanced approach only applies to things that are not bans. This is a ban, a metering of rights. In Heller, the Supreme Court found that there was no history or tradition to support firearm bans. This means that a one-per-month ban is unconstitutional, period.
The merits panel then spends a half dozen pages of electrons to find other reasons to find no tradition.
It is a win. I’ll take it.
It is not good case law. They did not create a general understanding of “Plain text” and they did not do a correct history and tradition analysis.
This suggests, to me, that this opinion will be cited by the anti-gun people in the future, in negative ways.
Regardless, this opinion will not stand. It will get overturned by the en banc panel. The Supreme Court is unlikely to grant cert if they request cert.
I’m sure you all are tired of reading about my vehicle troubles. I’m sure this won’t be the last post about it.
Base problem, the truck is 15 years old. It was given a new frame, but it is starting to age out.
Major safety issues:
The goal was to reduce my costs at the dealer as much as possible. His price on parts is reasonable, he puts a reasonable markup on those parts. He is willing to use customer supplied parts from me. I have told him that he can reject any parts I bring him if they are not up to his expectations.
The total cost of parts, from Rockauto was $514. Of that, only the brake calibers were the right parts. Everything else goes back for store credit, my choice.
Total cost of parts from local shop, over $500. This was ONE wheel bearing, pressed, instead of two, a pair of rotors and new brake pads. Moreover, there is the brake cleaner, brake fluid, two 12 in sections of brake line. I’m glad they know me. I wish they didn’t know me by name when I walk in.
I thought the right front went ok, after I stopped cursing about buying the wrong parts. It is verified that I made the mistake.
I will have my guy inspect my work and fix any errors I made.
The left front did not go as smoothly.
The wheel didn’t want to come off. The use of a long punch and a 5 pound hand sledge and my son’s help got that off.
The process of taking off the caliber is to first take off the flex hose to hard line bracket. This is a 12 MM (head) bolt.
That bolt head is now round and the bolt is still in place. I should have drilled it out with a left-hand drill and then used my other tools to remove it. My vice grips have gone on walk-about, so I couldn’t even use them.
I was able to break the line lose at the caliber and remove the caliber. The rotor gave way after jack bolts and banging.
It was getting late. The calibers did not want to line up. I finally got it installed, and the hard line would not go into place. I left it like that for the night.
Today started with a trip to the parts store for hard-line. Ally strongly suggested that having the part and not needing it was better than needing the part and not having it. Thank you, Ally.
After a bit of cussing, the hard line went into place. It would not hold pressure. It was time to try my hand at bending break line.
The hardest part of me was the fact that I had to stuff 12 inches of hard line where I should have been using a 6-inch length.
Moreover, did you know that the fittings will not slide around curves? They slide freely on the straight part. That was fun, straightening the line enough to get the fitting into place, then bending it back.
This was a painful process. Because there was no flex, I was bending the hardline with a mandrel in place. Think 2 foot long chuck of 1 inch diameter steel bar and a 1.5 inch diameter steel bar, 2 foot long. Yes, they are heavy. They get heavier the longer you have to hold them in place.
It got done. It was tightened to specification, see AVE’s earlier work. “Click”.
No leaks! I’m happy. I spend the time to find the right size for the bleeder valve. Wheel goes back on, the world is good.
It is time to bleed the brakes. The rear brakes go fine. When I go to bleed the right front, there is a puddle of brake fluid. It is leaking.
When I crawl under and review it, it is leaking where the hard line enters the calibers. At that point my daughter arrives home, I catch a ride with her to get another piece of brake line.
This goes a bit better as I could detach the bracket to get things into place.
So, going into the shop, they will replace the bad crimp, replace the left front wheel bearing, not the complete unit. They will check all the bits and pieces.
I did receive a few helpful comments. I do have an air powered impact gun/wrench. It does ok. I need to upgrade it, as it does not produce enough torque.
Because the gun is weak, I normally break the lug nuts loose before I lift the car. This makes it much easier after the car is up.
To access the axle nut, I need to remove the dust cover. To access the dust cover, I have to remove the wheel and rotor. To remove the rotor, I have to remove the caliber. To put the rotor and wheel back on and lower the car is more work than using a pry bar against the lug studs to keep the wheel hub from spinning.
This is filler as I’ve not looked at the news nor anything else on Friday.
As I’m writing this at 1830 on Friday, my hands are almost as grease covered as the worker’s hands in the image. I’ve been up since 0700 and have been at work on the Truck since 0930.
First stop, the auto supply store for cotter pins, brake cleaner, and brake fluid.
The first wheel comes off just fine.
Then it was time to take of the calibers. That is where I got my first surprise, these are big, and they do not float.
I’m used to calibers that are attached to the knuckle with two 14 mm headed screws. Torque specs are “yep, click”.
These bolts are normally greased and the calibers just float on the pin portion.
Not mine. They are attached with bolts torqued to 91 ft/lbs, and they are stuck. It took nearly 45 minutes to break them free using a 1″ black iron pipe as a cheater. The big issue was that there was not enough room to work the breaker bar with cheater. I got it done.
Once the caliber was off the truck, it was time to attack the rotor.
The rotor refuses to leave the truck. I whaled on it with a 5 pound hand sledge, it did not budge.
Second trip out, I sent my son to get some 6mx1.0 jack bolts. He returns with exactly what I needed. It only took three text messages. “What is grade 8?”, “do you want the type with the hex top?”, and “How long do they need to be.
Guess what? They don’t fit.
It is only then that I remembered that I have a nice thread gage checker. This is a steel cable with most thread sizes you would find in normal stuff. Each “key” (my son’s term for them), has an external threaded section on one side and an internal threaded section on the other.
In other words, you can screw one side into a hole, and you can screw bolts and screws into the other side.
Testing the jack boltholes I find they are 8m1.25 Off my son goes to get them.
With those in hand, the rotor comes off,
It is now time to attack the axle dust cap. This doesn’t want to come off, but a gentle (not really) attack with a cold chisel, and it gives me a gap for a pry bar to pry it off.
This revels the first clean metal I’ve seen, the axel, axel nut, and the lock for the axel nut.
With a bit of help from my son to keep the hub from rotating, I apply 300+ foot pounds with my foot. There is a load SNAP and all the tools let go. The bar being used to stop the hub from turning, the breaker bar, the 36 mm socket all went their directions.
We recovered all the pieces. I inspected the axel for damage, trying to figure out what snapped. The axle nut now spins off with just light finger pressure. Good news.
I then get the first “win” of the day. Driving the axel out of the sandpaper, err, bearing, was easy and just worked the way it was supposed to.
Driving the other side off? Not so much. After way too much effort, some stupids along the way, my son and I were able to drive the bearings off the knuckle.
The day is good!
After all that work, it is time to start reassembling the front right side. I picked up the “hub with pressed bearings” and compared it to the old part.
Not only does it not match the old part, I can’t make it work without someway to cut a spline in the damn thing.
I messed up. I wasn’t paying enough attention when I ordered front-wheel bearing assemblies. Yes, it had the 6 lugs, but it turns out that there was another version of the Tacoma which uses the heavy-duty brakes, calibers and all the rest, but it is RWD only.
I’m almost in tears. My son takes me to the parts store. They have it in stock. $195. Rockauto.com sells a better version for $106. OUCH! This is precisely what I was hoping to avoid.
It is too late to got back, I buy the parts and we go back.
With the correct part in hand, we can install the bearing assembly. I was just a question of tightening each bolt in sequence, the same amount.
I even have the right tools to torque the bolts. I’m a happy creature.
Time to install the new rotor.
This is where I started cussing to myself.
As I was checking out, I had the rotors, pads in the cart. The website suggested that I use a kit because it came with more hardware, and it was cheaper.
I went for it.
And missed that I had returned the 6 lug version and replaced it with a 5 lug version.
After a short crying jag, my son takes me back to the parts store. Yes, they have the parts in stock. 2 rotors and a set of pads. But because they only have premium in stock, $214.
The passenger side is completed. The bearing has been replaced, the rotor has been replaced, pads have been replaced, brake caliber has been replaced.
The only thing remaining is bleeding the brakes.
Starting work on the driver’s side. The damn wheel won’t come off the rotor! This required energetic use of that five pound sledge with a long punch to knock it off the rotor.
Jack bolts and a bit of hammering and the rotor came off. The brake caliber is stuck on and the head of the bolt holding the hard line on the hub side and the flex line on the frame side rounds over. I can’t get it off.
My son bounces on the breaker bar a few times before the bolts finally come loose. We managed to get the correct two bolts out, pay no attention to the extra bolt we took out.
We then got the hub ready for the new rotor. It took 30 minutes to get the rotor and caliber installed. It was then that I noticed that the hard line doesn’t line up. I take the top bolt out of the caliber and attempt to get the hard-line to attach.
That is when I called it. I was afraid I was cross threading the hard line to the caliber.
I’m tired, I’m grumpy, I don’t want to see the crap and noise that the leftist put out today.
I hope you are having a great weekend. I’m out there working on the truck. Only about 4 hours more of work.
You can have the most guns, the biggest stockpile of rice and beans, and all the best shelter, and still not be prepared to survive.
Mindset is the absolute most important thing you have to prepare for an emergency. Whether it’s a zombie apocalypse, a hostile nation bombing us, or a fire in your dryer hose, having the right knowledge and mindset is what will allow you to survive.
It’s easy to figure out infrastructure things. Do you have X number of cans of protein, and X number of bags of carbs? Check. You’re done. Even stuff like first aid is pretty straight forward. The way you take care of a broken leg is going to be largely the same no matter the situation you’re in. It’s less easy to teach yourself how to behave in an emergency.
Years ago, I was a part of St. John Ambulance. When I first joined, I took the standard first aid courses available. I then went on to take more advanced ones. At that point, my captain took me out to events to see how I’d do. The answer was, I did alright on the technical front (I knew what equipment to use, in what order) but I did shitty on the attitude front. It wasn’t that I was squeamish (frankly, doesn’t matter if you can get the job done). It was that my reaction to nerves was to giggle. Let me tell you that most hockey players do not want a giggling young adult female tending to their gaping wounds. I had to find a way to fix it.
My captain was a practical man. He decided to just work it out of me. He took me with him to some of the most brutal scenes I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve held the hand of a woman who was dying because a seatbelt eviscerated her and help was much too far away. I’ve held gauze in the open wound of a hockey player who had his neck slashed accidentally. I’ve ridden on the chest of a man while giving compressions, while being rushed to an ambulance, on the bus, and into the hospital. After a while, I stopped giggling. It wasn’t that any of it became normal. There is no normal when you are dealing with dying people. It’s that I stopped responding with the giggles.
I still giggle, and sometimes cry, and often get shakes. It’s just that those are now my reaction AFTER the emergency is over. During the emergency, I go all deadly calm, I talk softly and move slowly and deliberately, and I get shit done. There’s time for panic and upset after, but when an emergency is … well, emerging, you just Git’er’done.
2.5 nets completed. The first net will be used to practice repairs because I made a few mistakes. The fix? Cut the bad part out and tie in a new section. Easy.
The second net had no glaring errors. Mostly knots that did not get set perfectly and using a sheet-bend to tie on more line. The correct knot to use is a water knot. It has one section of whipped cord at the top for a handle. Future round nets will have a wooden handle, which I will turn.
The third net is a rectangular net. It is around 4 ft deep and is currently around 3 ft wide. The target size is 4 ft by 8 ft. I’ll turn it into a gill net by adding weights and floats. Then pictures and it will never be used in NH. Gill nets are not allowed in my area.
Refactoring is fun. Learning new stuff all the time. I am so glad I have an expert to help me with the bootstrap stuff.
Initially, I was concerned about getting sucked into a war with Iran. I no longer believe that will happen.
There is no need for boots on the ground. We can accomplish all that is needed by putting warheads on foreheads.
And, it looks like Israel will continue to be the point of the spear. Dropping those warheads.
If we do need to send the Boners in to deploy a few GPU-57s, that is still not boots on the ground.
We received the first part of our inheritance earlier this year. Some money went to fun stuff. Most of it went into the market. All of my kids’ money went into the market.
It turned out that the ‘savings’ account at my local bank was paying 0.01% APR. Not a way to make money.
I’m using one of the automated investment accounts. You tell it what your goals are. It buys the right things. If it decides it is time to get out of that security, it will sell. It will buy when it thinks it needs to.
Since I invested our money, we’ve had a 3.6% return on investment.
Last Thursday, Israel dropped warheads on foreheads. On Friday, the market responded. In the course of a day of trading, we lost about 40% of what we had made.
On Monday, there was a slight recovery.
Tuesday, saw another dip.
Wednesday saw more recovery.
I expect there to be more instability in the market over the coming weeks. War makes investors nervous.
Here’s the thing, I still have the same amount of cash available to me to use instantly.
I can convert the securities into cash and withdraw the money at any time.
Or I can just leave it the F. alone. Which is what I will continue to do.
When the market goes down, that’s when you should buy.
That cursing you hear is me working on the truck. All the parts arrived safely, yesterday. I have all the tools I need to do the installation.
My only concern will be knocking the wheel bearings off. Hopefully, that will not be too difficult.
I have decided to leave replacing the brake calipers to the shop. It isn’t that I can’t do it, it is that I hate bleeding brakes. This way, I end up with the best of all worlds.
The shop will have to pull the wheel and calipers. Disconnect the calipers and put in the new ones. They then get to bleed the brakes, but they have the brake fluid, they have the vacuum bleeding system. They have the multiple people ready to do the right thing.
This is low cost and sounds like the right path to me.
Which caliber have you taken up, bought gun and ammo and maybe reloading dies, which you later decided was a bad choice, and why?
Which caliber do you want to explore?
For me, the caliber that I have had second thoughts on is 7.62×39. I have one rifle in that caliber. I have limited ammunition in that caliber. And the gun would likely pass for “new” if I tried to sell it.
I’ve been thinking of something like .17HMR or one of the long-range calibers in the 30-06 class.
Ok, maybe something like the Savage Arms Revel Classic in .17HMR

Dems seethe as facade of autopen presidency comes crashing down
https://www.theblaze.com/news/
Democratic lawmakers walked out of a Senate hearing Wednesday on former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, its cover-up, and its alleged exploitation behind the scenes. The Republican lawmakers who remained at their posts were rewarded with troubling insights into the fallout of both the cover-up and America’s apparent governance in recent years by an unelected cabal of ideologues….”The president takes positive actions and authenticates those actions through his signature. His signature is required for the most significant actions he may undertake: to sign an executive order, to take any action vested in him by the Constitution, as in granting a pardon, and to take the most important action of all: to sign a bill into law,” said Wold. “In all these cases, the president’s signature is itself the protection of democratic principles. When the president signs, he communicates his assent and endorsement of the action he takes.”…”In June 2022, the Biden White House began deploying the autopen to sign clemency warrants, and executive orders in July of 2022. Autopen use skyrocketed from there,” said Wold. “We found that of the 51 clemency warrants issued during the Biden presidency, over half — 32 in total — were signed with an autopen.”…Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) cut deeper, asking Wold whether legislation that passed both chambers of Congress but then was signed by a presidential staffer without the president’s authorization is law. “No,” said Wold…Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) — who concluded Biden’s was the “autopen presidency, a government run by committee rather than a leader chosen by the American people” — indicated that he will be “pursuing a Special Access Request to obtain Biden’s staff secretary’s autopen memo and records tracking Biden’s authorization of several autopenned documents.”…Wold told Blaze News, “Those who received autopen pardons should be charged for the crimes they were pardoned for. Those who operated the autopen without the direction of the president should be charged with potential crimes ranging from impersonation of an official to forgery.”

The CENSORSHIP of the LEFT
JD Vance Joins Lefty X Competitor Bluesky, Gets Banned After Just One Post
https://www.westernjournal.
…the most prominent new user on the platform in quite some time took just 20 minutes and one post to get banned…Vice President J.D. Vance joined the left-leaning platform Wednesday and focused on the big news of the day: namely, the fact that the Supreme Court had delivered a 6-3 vote in favor of states which banned transgender procedures for minors…“Hello Bluesky, I’ve been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis,” he wrote in his first post. “So I’m thrilled to be here to engage with all of you.”…The New York Post noted that Vance’s “ban was brief, as the vice president’s account was reinstated just minutes later.” However, it’s telling that the sitting vice president of the United States, simply by pointing out what the law of the land was — and not in contravention of any of the platform’s guidelines — managed to get himself banned from the platform in less time than it takes most people to make pasta. And not just that, he was banned over bringing reality into the equation…when someone from the other side politely shows up to share reality with the dwindling liberal anger-party, they apparently stop smashing each other for a second and begin smashing the vice president, completely unaware that this is why they keep losing.

FOOD for THOUGHT
America’s Choice: National Divorce or Civil War
https://keepgovlocal.substack.
…The Elites, hailing from both Left and Right within the political kaleidoscope, are the big players in the midst of all of this. They are working to ensure the volatility will continue to grow until it reaches a breaking point… a new series of attacks, designed to provoke conflict and distrust inside America at higher levels than those seen during the COVID hysteria. The first stage would involve weaponizing the law itself against large segments of the population, mostly against the general populace with some more well-known names thrown in for the purpose of publicizing the misuse of the law…the second stage could be slowly introduced. With the people already angry and frustrated by seeing their very governing structures being used against them when they had done nothing wrong, strong desires for vengeance against those who had persecuted them would inevitably begin to arise. The people who then be more inclined to disregard the very checks and balances which should have protected them in the first place. This, in turn, would make the rights guaranteed the people under the Bill of Rights, in effect, a dead letter…third stage in the Elites’ plan is now being put into action. Political fervor is being whipped up into a power-hungry frenzy on all sides of the political divide. With the MAGA movement being constantly labeled as a “clear and present danger” by it’s opponents, and a similar mentality unfolding within the MAGA movement against their own adversaries, a dangerous brew is being stirred domestically…the last and most important stage in the plan to destroy America’s founding principles can be unleashed: The State of Emergency known as “War”…National Divorce is the option with the least number of dangers to the freedoms and principles which are America’s true foundation. Withdrawing from the manipulated and corrupted government structures which now advance the Globalist project would allow defensive consolidation for preservation of these values. While this would not guarantee avoidance of war, as the Elites would likely seek to use every tool at their disposal to bring those seceding back under their control, the conflict would be changed into one of self-defense as opposed to maneuvering for power. As multiple self-defense, grassroots-oriented conflicts have shown through the centuries, sheer military power is not a guarantee of victory in war. Today, ever increasing masses of people now have a basic knowledge of the reality of the Globalist conspiracies, thanks to the awakening brought about by COVID, as well as ever increasing public proclamations of increasingly crazy agendas. This makes for far longer odds of the Elites being able to break an opposition alliance rooted in self-defense. The added advantage of not opening up a political void for other nefarious actors to potentially seize substantial power, makes this an even more appealing approach. The route to rebuild the world based on America’s founding principles would be a much smoother one. Good elements of the old order could be oriented to correct the abuses which manifested themselves over the 250 year life of the original American experiment.
