PUTTING YOU AT RISK BY DESIGN: Focusing on Gun Control Rather Than Criminal Control Forces Armed Citizens to Act in Self-Defense.

You have to wonder why Thune, et al., are so dead-set against enacting such a popular policy.

PAYBACK’S A… YOU KNOW: It’s Primary Election Day in the People’s Republic of Oregon, and the ‘People’ Want Revenge. “On primary day, Oregon voters will affix some C-4 and light the fuse to the one deliverable Kotek could lay claim to in her entire first term of office.”

PRIMARY PREVIEW: Nancy Pelosi endorses Connie Chan to succeed her after 40 years in Congress.

California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has made her choice for who should succeed her in Congress.

The longtime congresswoman endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan on Monday in the race for the former House speaker’s seat.

Pelosi gave the nod to Chan over progressive Saikat Chakrabarti and California state Sen. Scott Weiner.

“I know this district, I know the Congress, and I know Connie,” Pelosi said in a short clip showing her seated next to Chan. “I’m proud to endorse Connie Chan, and I ask you to join me in electing her to Congress.”

I can’t help but think that voters there will go for Weiner.

COLORADO: A Very Bad Session for Second Amendment Rights (And This One Bright Spot).

OUCH: Standard Chartered is cutting thousands of workers for AI. Its CEO calls them ‘lower-value human capital.’ “Comments on the earnings call to the effect that the positions shed were ‘lower-value human capital’ may raise eyebrows and in the immediate aftermath of the call, his terminology attracted a lot of criticism online and across social media.”

CHANGE (IT BACK): RFK Jr. reopens religious liberty division at HHS for anti-abortion conscience protections.

OCR is the main law enforcement arm of HHS, overseeing voluntary compliance with more than 50 laws and regulations regarding healthcare best practices, including conscience rights, civil rights, and health information privacy and security.

Administration officials charged that the Biden administration HHS, led by now-California Democrat gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra, deprioritized cases involving alleged religious liberty violations, particularly among physicians or providers who claimed participating in abortion or gender transition procedures violated their consciences.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a press release on the change that reopening the dedicated conscience rights division will allow HHS to “defend these rights with clarity, accountability, and resolve.”

A Kennedy — it boggles the mind, but in a good way.

BE PREPARED: Why You Really Need to Take a Defensive Shotgun Training Class. “Another issue that we need to address is the assumption that a shotgun is a beginner’s tool and is less complicated and easier to use than, say, a carbine for home defense. Having a conversation with a good friend yesterday who happens to be a 20-year veteran of the US Army Special Forces with numerous combat tours, he said, ‘Brother, people think running a fighting shotgun is easy. It’s actually the exact opposite.’ He laughed and continued, ‘A freakin’ machine gun is simpler.'”
