    1. The Insurrectionist in the Flower Shop [Click] “Jenny Cudd might regret storming the Capitol. But she’s still pushing election conspiracies.”

      Reminds me of a couple we used to consider friends who have cut themselves off from others who are not mindless Trumpers, no matter how inoffensive.

  2. Thanks for the illustration, listener; it seems the Farmers Almanac has moved with the times!

    1. This expands the nation's gun rights and is a knife in the back of local control. Coming just before the Senate vote, it gives license to those on the fence to stay no to gun reform. We now have a gun culture set in stone.

    2. I remember a few years back when gun control laws were relaxed in Japan. The local police chief would no longer be required to obtain formal permission from the rough equivalent of the District Attorney to open the gun locker and issue weapons to the police for a specific action.

    3. OK, it's time to require serious liability insurance for firearms, modeled on auto liability insurance. I am going to write to my state assembly member, senator, and governor. I thin that the first step would be state by state legislation, followed by cooperative legislation among states.

    4. I second that idea, Alan and I'm going to contact my delegation too!!

    5. California AG Rob Bonta unveils bill to blunt impact of SCOTUS concealed carry decision. [Click] Plus other related goings-on in California. Time for letters to the AG and Insurance Commissioner.

    6. No way to get an e-mail through to the AG or Insurance Commissioner, but I could get one through to the Chairman of the Assembly Public Safety Committee. Blogger refuses to let me post the text of my letter to state functionaries; I will strip out the link to the SCOTUS decision report. The rest is:

      "OK, it is time to require serious liability insurance for firearms, modeled on auto liability insurance; increased rights imply increased responsibilities. I think that the first step would be state by state legislation, followed by cooperative legislation among states. Some state must be the leader; there is no reason the leader can’t or shouldn’t be California."

  4. Sooo, today's Hearing was seismic! Interesting that the FBI raided Jeffrey Clark's home on the same day the January 6th Committee was raking Jeffrey Clark over the coals. And the Committee did NOT know the raid was happening. (I'm also impressed there were so many decent Republicans in the Administration...!)

  6. Wow! The Senate passed the gun legislation. Well, it helps a little.
    AND NOT BEFORE TIME! (click)

    1. It still has to get through the House, after which I suppose it will amount to even less. Pardon my pessimism.

  7. So, who else is watching the hearings live? I tell you it's the best thing I've seen in ages. Shocking, yes, but there is so very much integrity and love of the Constitution, that it's a healing thing to witness.

    2. Hi Bill, welcome back!
      NPR is airing the hearings if you'd like to listen in. It's riveting history!
