I don’t often do this, but I need to recommend that you watch television (or better yet, some other format).
The federal grand jury is the most corrupt abomination of justice ever to be conceived by the U.S. authorities.
The best dramatization of what can happen with grand juries can be seen on The Rockford Files, “So Help Me God,” season 3, episode 7.
The fifth amendment doesn’t apply. Despite what the founders intended, you have no fifth amendment rights in front of a federal grand jury. If you refuse to testify, you can be imprisoned for the duration of the grand jury.
That’s a short list of the infringements on rights that has been given to the purview of the federal grand jury. The whole thing is an end run around the rights inherent to being a U.S. citizen.
Of course, this also runs contrary to biblical law which forbids forced confessions and self-incrimination (see R. J. Rushdoony, “Institutes of Biblical Law).
The constitution isn’t just a piece of paper. It’s a covenant and contract, just like the sale of a piece of property or a marriage vow. Breakage of it is grounds for divorce, legal action, and a host of other things. In the case of a government, it’s grounds for violence. Don’t ask me. Ask the founders, and ask John Calvin, from whom this concept came.
She’s just a little girl anyway with a dirt clod for a brain.
In ancient times marriages were arranged and even so the Holy Writ didn’t object to that practice.
So if you don’t like the covenant and contract you’re under, too bad. I don’t even believe that the covenant between the people of America and its state should be able to be amended.
Go somewhere else.
WOW: Top Kamala Harris surrogate Kelley Robinson attacks the Constitution as just a "little piece of paper" and "reimagining" democracy.
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow thinks it’s very interesting that Republican vice presidential contender J.D. Vance named his venture capital firm after a magical object from the series The Lord of the Rings (LOTR).
“Lord of the Rings is sort of a favorite cosmos for naming things and cultural references for a lot of far-right and alt-right figures both in Europe and the United States,” said Maddow on Wednesday.
She further noted that Peter Thiel, a billionaire venture capitalist and supporter of Vance, also named one of his companies, Palantir, after a LOTR item.
It is absolutely true that Vance and Thiel are fans of The Lord of the Rings, the fantasy series by J.R.R. Tolkien. Many arch-conservative and probably alt-right figures are as well. Moderates also love LOTR. So do liberals, lefties, and the completely apolitical. That’s because LOTR is one of the most popular and best-selling book series of all time. The films, adapted for the screen by Peter Jackson, were among the highest-grossing movies of all time.
Rachel Maddow is an unstable, screaming little girl.
If I could visit one place in fictional history, it would be The Prancing Pony. Imagine the people you would meet?
U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned from her position on Tuesday after her evasive testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, the Associated Press reports.
One comment at the link above: “I cannot believe how very few people (almost nobody) are talking about how the AR15 is laying 15 feet from where the sniper shot the 20 year old kid. That kid did not even have a rifle in his hands when the sniper took out his brain pan. Did he even fire a shot?”
“Yesterday my high school sweetheart, the love of my life for over 35 years, the loving mother of our 4 children, the smartest kindest woman I ever knew, my beautiful and wise queen forever, Rhonda went to Heaven,” Massie wrote on social media.
“Thank you for your prayers for our family in this difficult time.”
An aerial program to remove predators from caribou calving grounds in Southwest Alaska has wrapped up its second year with a total of 81 brown bears and 14 wolves killed between May 10 and June 5, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced on June 14. The removals are intended to improve calf survival of the Mulchatna caribou herd, which has declined by about 94 percent since 1997.
This spring ADFG employees tracked caribou in the western half of the herd’s calving grounds while patrolling for evidence of predators chasing or actively feeding on caribou. The removal of the 95 total predators was conducted on state land only, according to officials, with efforts focused on an area of about 530 square miles. That’s half the size of the 2023 predator-control area, when 104 total predators were removed (94 brown bears, five black bears, and five wolves). The herd’s eastern calving grounds were not subject to predator removal this year, as officials plan to compare calf survival between the two regions.
No, don’t sell tags to let hunters cull the predator populations. Only the king’s men get to do it, you see. Because only the king’s men hunt the royal forests.
Forty-five Republicans U.S. senators filed a Congressional Review Act resolution to block a Biden administration Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rule from being enforced that would require anyone who sells firearms to register as federal firearm licensees.
[ … ]
Cornyn, who was booed at a Republican Party of Texas convention after he pushed through the bill, is now saying he will fight “this lawless rule tooth and nail to ensure the God-given right to keep and bear arms is preserved and this flagrant distortion of congressional intent of our landmark mental health and school safety law is struck down.”
Some Texas Republicans oppose Cornyn for any consideration as the next Senate majority leader, citing what they argue is his anti-Second Amendment stance, The Center Square reported.
U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-NC, who did not join the CRA, but was a cosponsor of the bill being cited by the Biden administration to implement the rule, said it was “outrageous that the Biden Administration decided to take a good faith effort to curb the mental health crisis across our country and turn it into an unconstitutional attempt to restrict firearms from law-abiding American citizens. This overreach is exactly why Republicans don’t trust this Administration, and it will setback any attempt on future bipartisan legislation as long as President Biden is in office.”
Yeah right.
He’s a real 2A champion at the moment, isn’t he?
This CRA, whatever that is, can’t even garner the support of all of the republican senators, much less the majority it needs to prevent a presidential veto.
This is all carnival light and action show, fit for nothing more than electioneering. Cornyn and Tillis are both communists and knew this would happen. Now they get to blame the ATF for it in election season.
You’re a little person. The rules always apply to you.
If you’re politically connected and believe in disarming the public, the rules don’t apply to you.
