On October 5th, 2023, the DoJ applied on the Supreme Court’s emergency docket for the court to vacate the injunction issued by the N.D. Texas.
As we have discussed for the circuit courts, the Supreme Court has an “administrative panel”. Each circuit court has a Justice charged with overseeing that circuit. Overseeing is a massive overstatement.
When a case is appealed out of the circuit to the Supreme Court, it can come as a merits-based request for certiorari, or it can come as an emergency request. If it is an emergency request, it goes to the Justice that oversees that circuit. In this case, it is Justice Alito.
The state requested that the injunction issued in the N.D. Texas be vacated pending appeal. This is different language than I am used to seeing. Normally, the request is for a “stay pending appeal”. My understanding is that vacating a finding is to throw it out.
Justice Alito issued a temporary stay for 10 days to allow the parties to file briefs. You can expect the usual suspects to dog pile as well.
The uncle of a Canadian man who was mauled to death by a grizzly last week alongside his partner in Alberta’s popular Banff National Park has revealed that he received a final message from the couple.
Colin Inglis told the Calgary Herald he received the SOS call from Doug Inglis and Jenny Gusse’s Garmin GPS device around 8:15 p.m. last Friday after hearing hours earlier that they were delayed in reaching a camping location in the Panther Valley area of the park.
“Bear attack bad.” was the message Inglis recalled getting in a call from the couple’s Garmin inReach device. “The alarm bells were going off, ‘this is not good’ — that means there’d been some engagement. You’re completely helpless to know what’s going on.”
Inglis also said he was told by Parks Canada officials that the tent the couple was using “was crushed and their e-readers were open” at the scene of the attack, where their 7-year-old border collie Tris died as well.
“One can of bear spray had been fully discharged, but this bear was not to be deterred,” he reportedly added.
I am not disparaging OC sprays. I carry one can every day because I believe situations can present where this will be an appropriate defensive tool to use. But you cannot have only one defensive tool at your disposal, or you are limited to its “potency” which might be insufficient to the threat you are facing.
I am sure you have seen videos where police deploy Less Lethal weaponry, but there is always one or more officers with lethal means in hand and aimed at a suspect as back up. We must apply the same idea: Use the Less Lethal if you deem is needed and resolves the situation, but ready to use the firearm if things do not de-escalate and your initial assessment turns out to be wrong.
To coin a phrase: “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.”
Today is the day I start shipping the Velcro backers for those people who purchased them. I’m going to lead J.Kb. through the process so he can ship the patches. Thank you for your patience when I jumped the gun.

Numerous briefs have hit in the Rahimi case at the Supreme Court. The Court will be hearing oral arguments in November. I’ll start looking at these briefs this coming week. This should be easier as they are all in defense of The People and the Second Amendment.
J.Kb., did you give one of our “Dick Shooters” patches to Clint?
… while on duty, I was sad to see another consequence of the infamous “One Punch” attack. Handsome young fella, not even 25 if I were to guess wearing head protection, walking unsteadily assisted by an older woman I presume was his mother by the resemblance. I found out that the young man was at a public location when he saw some ‘Ungentleman’ being rough with a woman, he intervened, and for his effort got the infamous one punch which made him lost balance and struck his head on a table.
I had not realized, but we have focused the one-punch kills, not realizing that there were bound to be an equal or even bigger number of grave one-punch bodily harm events we simply don’t find out in the news and could be almost as equally devastating.
Please be careful out there.
Because “good” criminal ideas propagate.

If the left really wants to live in a Star Trek tolerance level of society, why the automatic leap to “hate” and “…phobe?” It is almost as if the left cannot imagine anyone can disagree with them unless they “hate” them. Someone misgenders you, and it is apparently the end of the world. Why? Because the allure of power is too overwhelming, and shutting down the UK PM over a statement he made is power.
Granted, I see that from the right as well, but not as frequently. (Then again, my personal biases may be at play)
So… I have a ton to say and I’m not entirely sure how to say it. Let me give it a go here.
Part the first: I don’t believe it’s as simple as, “A man is a man, and a woman is a woman.” According to Yale, there are two biological genders: male and female. According to some other scientists there are six genders, or 27, or some other odd number. Per the National Institute of Health, there are two main genders, male and female, and other outliers that sometimes happen, but that basically if there’s a Y in the mix of chromosomes, it’s a male, and if there’s no Y, it’s female. These biological genders may OR MAY NOT match the sexual organs exterior to the body. It’s possible, for instance, for a person with both Xs and Ys in their genes to have genitals that we perceive as female, but they are still male no matter whether they have breasts, ovaries, or even female hormones. Essentially, chromosomes are the only way to actually determine someone’s biological gender.
I personally believe that people under the age of 18 should be restricted from making irreversible life-altering changes to their bodies. That includes, but is not limited to, tattoos, piercings, circumcision, sexual organs, etc. Those changes should be made under only two circumstances. Either you’re 18 (old enough to vote, live on your own, and to give consent that is at least somewhat informed), or there’s a medical emergency that requires something happen (such as an emergency hysterectomy due to cancer, or something along those lines). I am somewhat okay with those 16 and older getting piercings with parental consent, but I’d be absolutely fine with it being 18, as well.
