🚨Report: North Carolina Democrats have withdrawn support for State House candidate Shelly Headen after she called for violence against Republicans and compared herself to Jesus Christ

She said: “I think our only hope is an attack on US soil, preferably Alabama, Louisiana where the stupid people live.” pic.twitter.com/gj79PH3IPa

It gets worse when read in full. Fortunately, North Carolina has nothing in common with Alabama and Louisiana.

You Left Out Something

 9/11/26 College Fix article about a law professor who claims 

“care and accountability circles work better” than prison for those who have committed rape or other sex crimes...

More interesting:

Spade has been teaching at Seattle University, a private Catholic institution, since 2008, and has published numerous articles and books on transgender culture and abolition. Two years ago, the professor gave the talk “No Prisons, No Borders, No Cops, No State?” at New York University Law School’s Annual Rose Sheinberg Lecture. [emphasis added]

 “No Prisons, No Borders, No Cops, No State?” Yes, anarchy leads to lynchings and private vengeance without the limiting protection of a judicial system. He also left out "No lawyers, no law schiool professors." Without prisons and cops, what purpose does a lawyer and therefore law professor serve?

"Is the Pope Catholic?" needs updating.

Another Consequence of Bruen

 Rigby v. Jennings (D.Del. 2026). Delaware banned ghost manufacture, assembly, possession, sale, and digital instructions for making them. Digital instruction ban constitutional although I notice the ban seems pretty narrowly focused:

And that may very well be because § 1463(c)(2) is framed in functional terms, i.e., it is limited to computer files or code “that may be used to program a 3 dimensional printer to manufacture or produce a firearm, firearm receiver or major component of a firearm.”

That seems to not prohibit gCode for operating a CNC mill.

With that, the Possession Ban concerns “Arms,” and because it prohibits keeping arms and applies to all members of the political community, it is presumptively unconstitutional at Bruen’s first step.  Wolford, 146 S. Ct. 2043-44.

Distribution ban:

The problem there is that the Distribution Ban does not regulate self manufacturing firearms and Plaintiffs have offered no evidence that any of these regulations limit their access to the items and materials necessary to self-manufacture firearms; all they provided was attorney argument.  See Rigby, 630 F. Supp. 3d at 614 (“Attorney argument is not evidence.”).  The Distribution Ban passes under Bruen’s first step.  

Manufacturing and Assembly ban:

But prohibiting possession of firearms that are currently lawfully owned or future manufacturing and assembly of the same does place restrictions on keeping and bearing firearms.  So the Possession and Manufacturing and Assembly Bans fail at Bruen’s first step.  

Never Forget

This photograph to me perfectly captures the savagery of that day. I was working for a startup that was about to miss its first payroll. My wife called to tell me our son, who was 14, I think, came and told her that something big was happening: the first plane crashing.

I have no idea what I did for the rest of the day. I suspect I just kept hacking away at porting DHCP server to our idiosyncratic operating system. Things I do remember clearly:

1. The following Sunday was the most heavily attended church service that I could recall.

2. President Bush giving one of the strongest speeches of his career. Bush had always tried to come across as an "Aw, shucks" Texas country bumpkin. When he needed to do Leader of the Free World, he could and did. Even a friend from Texas who hated him for that country bumpkin act agreed that he did a fine job addressing the nation.

3. That Saturday, our local paper, the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, solved the sudden shortage of American flags by printing a full color back page.

4. There was a unanimity of purpose for a month or two that was doubtless what Americans felt after Pearl Harbor.

5. Canadians in Gander took in thousands of Americans whose flights were interrupted by the ground stop. We will always be grateful for that. We really want to be on good terms with Canada again. 

Unfortunately, what people born after 9/11 know, if anything at all about it is likely:

1. We had it coming.

2. Bush did it.

3. The Jews did it.

4. It does not matter because this is "stolen land."

How Did I Miss This Craziness?

 3/21/1977 Time:

The heart of the capital was under siege. Everywhere, it seemed, was the wail of sirens, snarled traffic, milling crowds, police marksmen poised on rooftops, swarms of reporters interviewing one another in the glare of floodlights. Extra guards were posted at Government buildings; on the Hill each member of Congress was offered an armed police escort. The Washington Monument was temporarily closed to visitors: it was within the range of snipers. Affairs of state moved forward—cautiously. At the end of his visit with President Carter, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin left quietly with no farewell ceremony; incoming British Prime Minister James Callaghan did not receive the traditional 19-gun salute, for fear it might trigger a slaughter. All this was the work of a mere dozen men who held 132 hostages in three Washington buildings for a chilling 38 hours. The terrorists made dramatically clear what has become all too obvious: anybody with a cause and a gun, be he mad or madcap, fanatic or eccentric, can seize and hold national attention by kidnaping and threatening to kill innocent victims.

The Washington assault was the culminating event of a spate of terrorist acts that have bedeviled the country. It proved again how vulnerable the society is to such attacks. Given the circumstances, it was wondrous that the drama ended with so little blood spilled: one dead and four wounded by gunfire, a dozen others cut and beaten. That the toll was not higher was in part a tribute to the primary tactic U.S. law enforcement officials are now using to thwart terrorists—patience (see box). But most of all, perhaps, it was due to the courageous intervention of three Muslim ambassadors, Egypt’s Ashraf Ghorbal. Pakistan’s Sahabzada Yaqub-Khan and Iran’s Ardeshir Zahedi.

The Washington siege was an explosive mixture of gangsterism, revenge, racial hostility and religious bickering elevated, as the participants proclaimed, to the level of a holy war. The terrorists were members of a sliver-sized religious organization called the Hanafi—a rival of the much larger Black Muslims, a group that has been plagued with violence over the years but has recently become more subdued (TIME, March 14).

Crimes That Have a Long Time Line

Harrison Township, O. (1973)

01/13/1973: At first, the babysitter, 17, reported a triple murder. Then police charged her with the murders of the mother and her two children. A trial eventually exonerated her. The gun used to murder the mother was later linked to another murder that took place while the babysitter was in jail. Motive remains uncertain, but the mother was naked, and the other person murdered with that gun was also female. In 1979, police hypothesized that these deaths, as well as four others, were the work of “a multipersonality person.” It remains an open case to this day.

Not Even a Prince

 9/9/26 City Journal recounts how a Nigerian tribal chief has earned $30 million from Medicaid, bought mansions in California, while submitting inadequate documentation to California:

That business, CHHA, dates back at least to 2013, when Agnes submitted its first publicly listed utilization report. She appears to have filed that mandatory form for every year through 2019. California’s Health Care Access and Information department told City Journal that since then, it has not received a report from CHHA “despite continued requests.”

In the years that followed, CHHA’s Medicaid revenues exploded. In 2018, the agency received just $89,570. In 2022, CHHA pulled in nearly $4 million. Across the following two years, the company garnered over $17 million and $13 million, respectively.
