What percentage of gun crimes are committed by Republicans?
— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) June 10, 2023
“…For the first time in American history, the leading candidate to defeat the incumbent president has been indicted by the incumbent’s Justice Department. Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury for illegally retaining classified government documents and obstructing justice.
This is a momentous occasion, and not only for President Trump. This moment portends a massive change in the norms of this nation that all Americans who care about the neutral rule of law should pay close attention to, for it raises the specter of the partisan weaponization of the criminal justice system—not just by the Democrats targeting Trump but by Republicans who will certainly retaliate when they regain control of the criminal charging process.
How do we know this is about political retribution, not the rule of law? Look at the case. One would expect that such an unprecedented criminal prosecution would be the strongest one in political history. And yet, what information we do have suggests a weak case that would never have been brought if it wasn’t being brought against Donald Trump….”

The bottom line is that we have a sitting president using the power of federal govt to indict his political opponent before a presidential election. This could be the final nail in the coffin of our democracy. Every American, regardless of political affiliation, must condemn it.

Don’t get distracted. The bribery allegation against President Biden is the biggest news story in 50 years. It’s not going away. And it could bring down his presidency.

“…I’ve read the entire indictment. And I disagree.
Let me explain something to everyone about how statutory interpretation works. (And it’s clearly a weak spot for Jack Smith, given his 9-nothing smack down in the Supreme Court on the honest services case against former VA Bob McDonnell and his failed prosecution against wealthy Dem trial lawyer and VP candidate John Edwards. As the Edwards case shows, Smith is particularly stymied by highly complex regulatory statutes.)
Here, Smith is totally ignoring the Presidential Records Act — but it’s on the field and cannot be ignored. When multiple statutes apply, they often must be harmonized.
One of the key principles of statutory interpretation is that the specific controls over the general. And the Presidential Records Act is the more specific statute given what the facts are at issue as alleged in the indictment. It controls here over the Espionage Act unless, perhaps, Smith could show that Donald Trump was acting as a spy giving national defense info to our Nation’s enemies. And of course, he can’t because Trump is so loyal to the US he sweats Americana on a hot day and on a cold day his soup is red, white, and blue.
So ironically, like many of the Left’s plays are really a form of psychological projection, the Espionage Act (as to China, Romania, and Ukraine) perhaps is in the Biden family’s tarot card reading — their fortune telling. But DOJ under Biden cannot simply wish away Trump’s defenses.
Sadly, the Leftist media in their breathless frenzy will not try to educate their viewers on how complex statutory construction works.
And truth be told, most of the relevant viewers wouldn’t get it even if CNN tried. Because they have something akin to immunity to deep rational analysis. To logic. To the law.
They are like paper people who can see in only two dimensions…”

“…In a national revolt that rivals the Boston Tea Party, all but a handful of gun owners targeted by President Joe Biden have decided to protest the administration’s sweeping rule to regulate one of the most popular and freely owned firearms ever made.
The owners of just 0.6% to 1% of AR-15-style pistols have complied with a May 31 deadline set by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to register their firearms. By failing to do so, the owners of an estimated 20 million to 40 million guns could face 10 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both…”
