  • Big court victory for the Second Amendment this week. Like all court victories, flawed. But still big.
  • Why antigunners own stocks in gun and ammo companies.
  • I wasn’t sure they’d ever do it: The Free State Project now has the 20,000 pledgers it said it needed for critical political mass. I wonder whether they’ve checked to see if all those pledges are current and good. I know I withdrew mine around the time they started the move prematurely. The FSP is an intriguing effort that’s made waves. More power to it and all its people. How well they can stand against the rising tide of “socialism” is anyone’s guess.
  • Resist the VAT or any other national sales tax. Always and forever. (I’ll never understand those for whom “tax reform” means “more taxes.” Or those who believe that the income tax will magically go away when some new tax is imposed. Do they not know how government works?)
  • Yet another American Muslim cries for reform of a decrepit faith. Not Obama-style pandering.
  • F*c*b**k removes the pages of medical marijuana dispensaries and legal recreational pot shops. This had just happened to one of my interviewees on the morning I met with him.

    I wonder how many people who signed a FSP pledge 10 or 15 years ago even remember doing it, let alone have any serious plan to up anchor and move to New Hampshire?

    FSP: I wonder if they’re counting signers of the original version of the pledge, who dropped out after they missed the agreed to deadline.

    -Why antigunners… It’s fine. They own them in their “blind” trusts.
    -Freestaters… I almost forgot about this. Several years ago I thought about going to the granite state but thought better of it.
    -American Muslim cries… “decrepit”??? I don’t think it is decrepit at all. It’s stated means are evil, so I would call it highly successful at spreading virulent darkness globally. Nope, it’s doing great.
    -Facebook… (insert bad words here)

    Imagine if a FSB type signup process looked for 1 million Americans to sign up, with fake names, to refusing to pay taxes and then not submit to be prosecuted for it.

    The fact that anti’s own gun stocks doesn’t surprise me.
    They’re not the brightest group of people and I doubt they read beyond a headline or hash tag, never mind an investment prospectus.

    As for Facebook (yuk) Mrs. Zuckerberg feels it’s her mission in life to protect all the drones who use HER site. If it scares her it’s verboten on FB.
    Mrs Z will become a much more dangerous fascist than Bloomberg could ever hope to be so long as her drones keep logging in
    I have to admit, by know i expected Facebook to have become MySpace 2.
    Don’t know how she does it. No one in my circle uses it anymore and I’ve heard the younger crowd is not interested anymore.

    Free State New Hampshire? Not with all those Mass residents moving in every day…try Wyoming or Idaho…
    As for our supine lickspittles in the judiciary protecting gun rights, or even following the controlling SCOTUS decision, good luck with that….

    Does anyone remember the original cutoff date for the FSP? As far as I’m concerned the project failed on that date when it was still significantly short of the 20k. I know a bunch of us were upset that we were still being counted in the total when Zombie FSP emerged after the cutoff date and changed into some kind of open end thing.

    I thought it was a good idea back in the early 2000s. I even voted for NH. However now I realize being concentrated all in one place, just makes it easier for them to wipe us out in one blow. Plus I’m seriously thinking at this point we’d be better off choosing another country as the US population is definitely happy with Socialism.

    I suppose one could begin reporting Pfizer and other drug companies for promoting drug use. Their form doesn’t make a distinction on types of drugs, just “drugs, firearms or adult products.”

    Re: Free State Project. Listening to Free Talk Live Radio show (via podcast) it sounds like the early movers have already made some positive changes.

    Alan — Re: FB. My, aren’t you the devilishly clever one? And what’s even better, you’d simply be reporting the truth.
