Reason links first.
Trump is busily extorting law firms that represented people he didn’t like or he blamed for other wrongs. It was wrong when Rainbow/PUSH extorted companies back in the day over “racial injustice”, and it’s wrong when the president does it to people he considers his enemies. But sycophants must sycophant.
Mississippi is doing away with its state income tax. I despise income taxes as it requires a level of state intrusion that I find intolerable. I much prefer sales taxes or even a VAT over an income tax.
Florida lawmakers are trying to shield LEO identities when they shoot someone. Do I get the same protection if I have to shoot someone in self-defense? No. Then neither should the police.
Mel Gibson got his gun rights back. Great, but can we work on restoring rights to the millions of others?
Milei’s drastic economic and government reforms in Argentina are starting to show results – excellent results. Milei is doing for Argentina what Trump could have done for the American federal government – smart, targeted, reforms with the end goal of making the Argentine government smaller and more efficient. As opposed to the hack and slash method of the Trump administration.
On to other news.
John Richardson reports that a bunch of the NRA 2.0 folks got themselves elected to the board – including John. First, congrats to John! He’s a stand-up fellow, and I’m glad to see him join the board. Second, this is another step on the healing journey for the NRA. I need to see how my finances will turn out, but if things keep going this way, I will most likely return to the NRA fold as a dues paying member.
From the local newstation, a Bradenton man was murdered using a gun that was stolen out of a vehicle a couple of years ago. Why am I highlighting this story? Because YOUR CAR IS NOT A FUCKING HOLSTER! Unless you have a safe that is mounted/secured in your car DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GUN IN YOUR CAR.
From Literary Hub, NaNoRiMo is shutting down.
From the Verge, via The Brother, is an article on how much battery power do you need to run your home. Do I need more? Yes. Although, I would probably say that even if I had enough to run my whole house for a week. Which is my goal at the moment.
