Woah. A mother in Nashville just took over a live stream on Fox News to call out Republicans’ opposition to gun reform. (h/t @atrupar) pic.twitter.com/dup4zLtS7Y

I find it extremely improbable that a woman associated with the victims of the Highland Park shooting in Chicago was visiting family in Nashville just in time for a chool shooting, and was at the right place and time to get on the news.

I suspect rest it is more likely that the blood dancers have a rapid response team that shows up to get on the news in front of these stories.

They saw how effective for their side David Hogg was, and now they want to grab hold of the news as fast as possible.

Maybe I’m just cynical, but this seems planted not organic.

I just got this with the morning batch of emails.

I was in elementary school when I found out my blood type. It was the first “Biology experiment” (Rhesus monkey story included) we had in school with the whole class getting typed and going home with a small card with the relevant information. It was so cool that it was imprinted in my brain and never forgot it.

If you still by any chance do not know such important piece of personal health information, you can get a kit in Amazon for just over $7 rather than the $20 with promo code plus other fees offered by Quest. And, of course, it is always good to know the blood types of your loved ones, for emergencies.

The post WWII trials saw many many of the accused murders claim that they were “just following orders”. There was always somebody higher up that ordered them to murder people.

What isn’t as well known is that the population, when asked “Why didn’t you try and stop these mass murders?”, replied with “We didn’t know.”

The US military has rules that say you should not follow an illegal order.

As usual, we are running under the 48 hour collection of facts before conclusions, but some data appears to be in already.

Can we at least agree that glass doors are NOT a security measure?

I wonder if we will ever be able to read the Audrey Hale’s manifesto or it will be buried deep to avoid “hurting the feelings” of certain segments of society.

PS: in some Old Media circles, the story was already sent to Winston Smith for proper editing and re-writing. Sure as hell is suddenly getting less time than certain celebrity lawsuit.

We have lost one of our commenters due to violation of The One Rule.

This person is a nursing professor.

Presumably she’s is, or at one time was, a practicing nurse.

If she feels this way about a town, how would she feel about a patient?

If a patient came in, in a MAGA hat, or a conservative theme shirt, or gave some other indication that they were Right Wing, would she treat them?

Would she provide them with adequate medical care?

Or would she leave them to suffer and die?

This shit shows how broken some people are and how you can’t trust our system anymore.

B.L.U.F. An example of winning in court. Oregon’s legislature rushes to moot cases and to fix parts of Measure 114.

H/T Bh.Z and OFF

On January 9th, 2023 Senate Bill 348 was introduced. The bill was short. It was a bill giving the Oregon Department of Justice a requirement to …study ways to address the unlawful possession of firearms.— Senate Bill 348. The DoJ was given until December 31,2024 to provide the report back to the legislature. On January 2, 2025 the first section of the bill would be repealed.

On its face this doesn’t sound all that bad, directing some government entity to do a study is a way of spending taxpayer money to get “facts” to use against The People in infringement cases, but better a study than another infringement.

Oregon Firearms Federation sent an alert telling its members that this was a bill to observe as it was likely there as a gut and stuff bill. Often times a legislature has rules to protect The People from the state. Things like a bill must be read 3 times before it can be voted on. That there must be a certain amount of time between readings. That the bill has to be analyzed by the appropriate committees to make sure it will be “legal”.

But there is an important part of these rules to remember, amendments are not subject to the same rules. The idea being that members have had enough time to analyze the bill and are not going to propose “fixes” and “changes” to make the bill better. When those amendments are presented the body votes and if the amendment gets enough votes the amendment is applied to the bill.

If the bill is in both chambers of a bicameral legislature there will be a reconciliation phase that takes place if the two bills are actually different. If both the Senate and the House versions are the same then it is deemed to have been reconciled and it moves forward to the Governor or President for signature to turn the bill into a law.

A “gut and stuff” bill is a bill that is specifically designed for this amendment process. When the bill is read an amendment is offered that “guts” the entire text of the bill and then “stuffs” entirely new content in place of the original text. Suddenly you have a bill with the same identifiers that has been through the pre-vote approval process with totally new content ready for a vote.

This is where the famous Nancy statement comes from “We have to pass the bill to see what is in it.” The bill in question then was ObamaCare and it was gut and stuffed into an entirely different bill with a short timeline to a vote. With 2000+ pages of new text it was impossible for any one person toi read the entire bill before the vote.

In infringement bills it is often the case that they legislature doesn’t want The People to have time to react.

The watchers have to spot the bill. They have to see the amendment go into place. They have to craft an alert. The alert has to make it to The People and only then can The People respond with email, calls and faxes.

In person responses take even long. This is why the NYS S.A.F.E act was so bad on a procedural level. Even though there are laws in place to give people time to respond, the infringers got it passed in an emergency session before those alerts and responses could take place.

With the NYS CCIA the republicans only had the press release until the very last minute. It wasn’t possible to respond until they got the text of the bill and they didn’t get the text until the last minute.
