The True 2nd Amendment
Not everybody gets to have guns, certainly not without fear of summary execution from "frightened" law enforcement.
Jeannine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, on Monday threatened jail time for anyone who enters the capital with a gun.
In remarks on Fox News that could deepen a growing rift between gun owners and the Trump administration, Ms. Pirro declared that if anyone brings “a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. I don’t care if you have a license in another district and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else.”
The Moment
Josh Shapiro proves his critics (me) correct almost every time he opens his mouth.
Philadelphia’s bombastic district attorney, Larry Krasner, is no stranger to opposition from within his own party, but the anger directed at him last week after he said ICE agents are “wannabe Nazis” was more pronounced than usual.
After making the comparison, Krasner faced a wave of criticism, including from Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, who called the comments “abhorrent” and said the rhetoric doesn’t help “bring down the temperature.”
But the progressive district attorney said Monday that he would not back down, saying “these are people who have taken their moves from a Nazi playbook and a fascist playbook.”
“Governor Shapiro is not meeting the moment,” Krasner said in an interview. “The moment requires that we call a subgroup of people within federal law enforcement — who are killing innocent people, physically assaulting innocent people, threatening and punishing the use of video — what they are. … Just say it. Don’t be a wimp.”
Elsewhere, some other people for Shapiro to criticize:
About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments.
“That reminds me of Anne Frank,” Rachel Blumberg, president and CEO of the center, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “There’s a kindred bond between our residents being Jewish and seeing the place that the Haitians have gone through.”
Concerning
Don't see how Phony Stark wriggles out of this one!
Offices belonging to Elon Musk's social media platform, X, in France are being raided by the Paris prosecutor.Its cyber-crime unit is conducting the searches, it said in a statement on X. Europol is assisting.It added it was related to an investigation opened in January 2025 following complaints about X's algorithm and the content it recommended.

The Priesthood
I hate that once upon a time I bought into, somewhat, the vision of the Supreme Court propped up by decades of mainstream media coverage. None of us are immune from propaganda, and the idea of the Supremos as high priests was drilled into me for a long time. The secrecy is not ok.
Seems Bad
I've made some errors of judgment, but being Tulsi-curious was never one of them.
WASHINGTON—A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter WASHINGTON—A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.
Does Anybody Remember Laughter
I know that likely demolishing the Kennedy Center, or ornamenting it with giant tributes to dear leader, isn't actually funny, but of all the things that our "elites" are just letting Trump get away with, his building grotesque monuments to his corpulent ego is at least worth a chuckle.
They will either be lasting monuments to all of their failures, or be dynamited on Jan 20, 2029. It will most likely be the former, of course, which is sad but ultimately appropriate.
No Art For You
I admit I find this mostly funny, except for the orchestra any other resident companies that are fucked because Trump is pouting about something.
The Kennedy Center in Washington DC will be closed for a two-year renovation beginning in July, US President Donald Trump has announced.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday that the centre would close on 4 July this year "in honour of the 250th Anniversary of our Country".
Appropriate way of honoring that anniversary at this moment, I suppose. It's closing time.
Converging Crises
I suppose the novel version has a civilization threatening plague originating in the concentration camps being filled by the mad king, whose adviser prevented the population from being vaccinated against it.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement halted "all movement" at a detention center in Texas for families and quarantined some migrants there after medical staff confirmed two detainees had "active measles infections," the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday.
This is, of course, horrible and neither the situation broadly nor the individuals affected will get the attention they require.

Nazi Cosplayer Has Nazi Views
It has been, uh, interesting to watch the media-political class work themselves into a frenzy over the antisemitism of being against genocide, while pretending not to understand what actual Nazis were about.
A day before six career federal prosecutors resigned in protest over the Justice Department’s handling of the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, lawyers in the office had a conversation with Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol field leader, that left them deeply unsettled.Nazis weren't only about genocidal antisemitism, of course, but it was kind of a big thing! Maybe they should read a book about it before their hero, Trump, the bringer of peace to the Middle East, burns them all.
According to several people with knowledge of the telephone conversation, which took place on Jan. 12, Mr. Bovino made derisive remarks about the faith of the U.S. attorney in Minnesota, Daniel N. Rosen. Mr. Rosen is an Orthodox Jew and observes Shabbat, a period of rest between Friday and Saturday nights that often includes refraining from using electronic devices.
Mr. Bovino, who has been the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, used the term “chosen people” in a mocking way, according to the people with knowledge of the call. He also asked, sarcastically, whether Mr. Rosen understood that Orthodox Jewish criminals don’t take weekends off, the people said.
