OF COURSE SHE IS, SHE BROOKS NO OPPOSITION: Kamala In Her Own Words: Yes She Really Is Coming For Your Guns.
YOU’D THINK THIS WOULD BE BIGGER NEWS: An Arrest for Supreme Court Threats.
As the public waits for more details from the investigation into the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, police on Wednesday arrested a 76-year-old Alaska man for sending online threats to “assault, kidnap, and murder six Justices of the United States Supreme Court and some of their family members,” as the feds put it in a court filing.
Panos Anastasiou is accused of sending more than 465 messages via an online portal on the Court’s website. Here’s one from May that gives the flavor: “I’m going to call and urge my fellow Vietnam veterans… to drive by the [Supreme Court Justice 2]’s house with their AR15’s and when f— [Supreme Court Justice 2] and his f— PIECE OF S— C— WIFE are HOME spray the home of these disrespectful mother f— with hundreds of rounds.”
The indictment doesn’t name the Justices targeted, but it isn’t all that difficult to read between the lines. Some of the messages call them “corrupt,” and one refers to the Justice’s spouse as his “n— loving insurrectionist wife.” In a statement from the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland says the defendant made these threats against the Justices “to retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with.”
He is facing 22 counts in total, including nine for threatening a federal judge, a crime that’s punishable by up to 10 years in prison per instance. He has pleaded not guilty, and his defense attorney declined to comment to the Associated Press.

I DID NAZI SEE THIS COMING: Arizona State U. Prof Warns of ‘Forced Breeding Camps’ at Discussion About Abortion.
ASU prof warns of ‘forced breeding camps’ in event discussing ‘speculative future’ without abortion
An Arizona State University professor recently took center stage at a school workshop called “A Speculative Future for Reproductive Rights.”
During the course of the workshop, ASU Associate Professor of English Jennifer Irish expressed worries that the country’s current abortion policies could lead to “forced breeding camps” and “cannibalism,” according to The College Fix.
“So much of our reality points toward those futures,” Hatch said.
Of course! They’ll be right next to the concentration camps in “the coming American police state,” that “Sarah ‘Evita’ Palin” and Karl Rove will usher in, according to Naomi Wolfe, right around this time in 2008. Not to mention the Handmaid’s Tale dystopian fantasies that Hulu has been running since 2017.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB: The Most Surprising New Gun Owners Are U.S. Liberals.
American gun culture has long been dominated by conservative, white men. Now, in a marked change, a burgeoning number of liberals are buying firearms, according to surveys and fast-growing gun groups drawing minorities and progressives.
“It’s a group of people who five years ago would never have considered buying a gun,” says Jennifer Hubbert, an anthropology professor at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore., who has researched liberal gun owners.
Historically, it wasn’t unusual for Democrats to own guns, with many more of them living in rural areas. Also, hunting was much more popular. But starting in the early ’90s, gun ownership among Democrats dropped significantly. Increasingly divisive political battles over the role of firearms in American society led the Democratic Party to become an advocate for gun regulation. Republicans became the party of gun rights.
Now, today’s Democrats are rediscovering guns.
Exercising civil rights should cross the partisan divide. But it sure would be nice if these new gun owners would go ahead and just take the red pill.

HOW IT STARTED: Kamala Harris once said police could pay surprise visits to legal gun owners’ homes for safe storage checks.

How It’s Going:
You know how I know Kamala's claim of "being a gun owner" is totally fake and disingenuous? This, right here. The last thing a gun owner wants is for someone to come into their home and for them to have to defend their life with a firearm. It isn't funny. It's terrifying and a… https://t.co/WBezQ9AzFC

I READ THE WOULD-BE TRUMP ASSASSIN’S BOOK SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO:
Routh calls for regime change in Venezuela, Syria, and elsewhere—and advocates for a U.S. alliance with Iran and North Korea. Routh has an eclectic range of foreign policy views. He criticizes America for not pushing hard enough for regime change in countries like Venezuela, Myanmar, and Syria, and says the United States should militarily defend Taiwan from a potential Chinese invasion. But he is oddly dovish with respect to Iran and North Korea. He thinks that American foreign policy has driven the two countries into the arms of the Russians and that the U.S. government should recruit them as allies against Moscow. He also advocates the end of foreign sanctions against all countries except Russia (seemingly contradicting his positions on regime change elsewhere).
Routh argues Iran should kill Trump for reneging on the nuclear deal. One of the most chilling passages involves Routh’s belief that Trump’s 2018 decision to end the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear agreement with Iran, worked to strengthen ties between Moscow and Tehran, a development Routh finds unacceptable. Routh advocates for an Iranian assassination of Trump. He also suggests that the Iranians assassinate him, as a former Trump voter. He states that no one in the U.S. is willing to exercise “unnatural selection” in taking out the former president. Here is the full quote: “I must take part of the blame for the retarded child that we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless, but I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake and Iran I apologize. You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal. No one here in the U.S. seems to have the balls to put natural selection to work or even unnatural selection.”
He attempted to visit Iran. Routh says that he applied for a visa to visit Iran and “protest with the Iranians against (American) sanctions,” but that his visa was rejected.
Routh advocates a global matriarchy (or something). Routh believes that the totality of the world’s problems are caused by “testosterone-driven insanity and macho bullshit,” and advocates universal female political leadership. “We must get to a place where every leader is always a woman.”
This news from America’s Newspaper of Record should cheer Routh up immensely, then: Biden Promises Next Trump Assassin Will Be A Woman Of Color. “In an exclusive sit-down interview with Al Sharpton on MSNBC, Biden said, ‘It’s long past time. We should have assassins that reflect the nation — a black nation. Blacks are great killers. No, I’m serious! Have you ever been to South Central? Corn Pop was a bad dude, a killer! And I want someone like that on our team. But, you know, a woman.’ ‘Black women are just as smart and capable as Lee Harvey Oswald,’ he added.”
