Original Article

A Secret Service agent was reportedly robbed at gunpoint in Tustin, California, while off-duty during President Joe Biden’s campaign stop with former President Barack Obama and some celebrities. (snip) California has more gun control than any state in the Union. Those controls include universal background checks, a red flag law, a ten-day waiting period on gun purchases, firearm registration requirements, an “assault weapons” ban, a ban on carrying concealed for self-defense on college campuses, a ban on teachers being armed in K-12 schools for self-defense, a limit on the number of guns law-abiding citizens can buy in a given month, and controls on ammunition as well.

Would've gotten him if the get away vehicle had been an EV, don't ya know. Only criminals drive gas engines. Then again, maybe he needs the money to buy a new car?

The gun laws here are crazy. People have to show a certified copy of their birth certificate just to buy ammunition. TK got tired of not having a copy of his BC with him in town when he wanted to buy ammo, so now he keeps a copy in each of our vehicles. These are some of the stupid things we have to do in our beleaguered state. My hope is Trump and the MAGA reality movement will finally break upon the western shores and Make California Golden Again.

FTA —— The agent was able to draw his own gun and fire at the alleged robber, but it is unknown if the suspect was hit. The alleged robber managed to escape. So, a federal agent drew a gun and fired on a robber. I have a question. In California, is it legal for a civilian to draw a gun and fire on a fleeing robber?

What was in the "Bag"??? The SS agents I worked with on Campaign and Presidential visits wore a side arm, and the fully auto MP5's/Uzi's, several spare high capacity magazines, kevlar vests, were in the "Bag". I actually found one left on the tarmac at SFO after AF1 departed, picked it up(was sorely tempted to quietly keep it), and called one of the local agents I had worked with advancing the event, he met me and took custody. Pretty sure the agent that left it behind faced a LOT of ribbing from fellow agents. Numerous Federal agents and officers in the SF Bay area have had their service weapons stolen...usually from their vehicles, left unlocked overnight.

I'm reminded of the story G. Gordon Liddy told on the air one day from his days in the bureau. An Agent happened upon a bank robbery in progress while out for lunch and shot the bank robber. The bank robber lived. Hoover sent the Agent for additional firearms training.

Doesn't seem like the SS agent showed either good situational awareness or good gun handling skills. We are told endlessly how the SS agents are the absolute pinnacle of these skills. Sounds like more government BS when the test happens.

Scientific American, a left-leaning legacy science magazine, called for the federal regulation of homeschooling on Monday, saying parents who homeschool should be subjected to a “background check.” (snip ) The newsletter called for “some basic federal mandates,” including that parents “undergo a background check — the same as K-12 teachers.” (snip) While the implication of what the Scientific American editors advocated appears to be government control over homeschool curriculums and practices, one of the most oft-cited reasons families decide to homeschool is to get their children out of government-run schools.

“Happy Father’s Day to the men who knew they weren’t ready to be dads,” reads perhaps the most evil op-ed ever written. As always, leftists can’t ever let men get anything just for themselves without making it about women somehow.

A California law requiring alcohol-serving establishments such as bars and clubs to offer date rape drug testing kits goes into effect on July 1. AB 1013, the law behind the mandate, passed unanimously in 2023. The bill requires establishments to have signs saying, “Don't get roofied! Drink spiking drug test kits available here. Ask a staff member for details” prominently displayed, and provide the kits for free or a “reasonable” amount relative to wholesale price. The test kits must be able to detect at least flunitrazepam (also known as “roofies”), ketamine, and gamma hydroxybutyric acid.

(snip) The number of legal cannabis growers and brands has decreased by more than 70% since legalization first went into effect, according to the Mercury News. A recent report found that pot companies owe the state more than $730 million in back taxes, money that California likely will never see as most of those companies have already folded. (snip) Estimates vary on how large the illicit market is, but the head of enforcement for the state Department of Cannabis Control recently told NPR that the illicit market is “definitely larger” than the legal market.

Joe Biden is being encouraged to replace Kamala Harris with a blast from the past to aid his floundering chances at re-election. Biden, who has struggled in the polls nationally and in key swing states, has left Democrats wondering if major change is needed to beat Donald Trump in November. Questions and doubts exist over the health and ability to perform the job of Biden, at 81, the oldest president in American history. Harris - the first female and first black vice president in American history - has also struggled, with poll numbers saying a majority of Americans don't think she would be a good president.

President Trump previously asked the Court to lift the gag order “because the trial has concluded.” Biden’s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo earlier this month asked Merchan to keep the gag order in place to “avoid threats to the fairness of the trial itself.” Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors asked Judge Juan Merchan to keep Trump’s gag order in place even though a jury returned a guilty verdict in the ‘hush money.’

During the interview, the host asked Fauci about his recommendations during the pandemic to close the nation's public schools, a situation that lasted for more than a year in some places. In a rare moment of seeming self-awareness, Fauci admitted that shutting down the schools for that long "was not a good idea."

The Secret Service destroyed a video that captured President Joe Biden's dog Commander chomping down on one of its agents - in an attack that forced the White House to shut down tours so blood could be wiped off the floor.

The video purportedly showed Commander running at a high rate of speed and jumping toward the agent in the East Wing's Kennedy Garden, leaving a 'deep bite' on the individual's left arm
