Maine Adopts 72-Hour Waiting Period for
Gun Purchases after Lewiston Mass Shooting
Posted By: mc squared, 8/12/2024 4:55:12 PM
Maine adopted a new law requiring gun retailers to institute a 72-hour waiting period before customers can bring their purchased guns back home, one of many gun-related bills enacted following the state’s deadliest mass shooting last October. [snip] Governor Janet Mills (D.) allowed the bill to become law without signing it. In April, Mills said she felt “deeply conflicted” after thinking “long and hard about the potential impacts of this bill.”Taking both positions into account, Mills did not sign the legislation.

The third-rate vaudeville being mounted in Chicago this week is irrelevant to anything that matters - except for the bleak fact that half the American people are minded to go along with it, which helps explains why meaningful course-correction is all but impossible. This grim vignette, however, struck me as almost poignant: [snip for Tweet] Almost two decades ago, I began my demographic bestseller America Alone with a famous assertion by the historian Arnold Toynbee: Civilisations die from suicide, not murder.
Harley-Davidson’s European CEO has backed down on his vanity project to rebrand the company’s motorbikes as his vehicle for globalized “diversity.”
The retreat from forced “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI), is a third win for for Robby Starbuck, an X-amplified advocate for merit, productivity, and professionalism.
“Another win for our movement,” Starbuck tweeted Tuesday after the company announced it would roll back its mandatory diversity policies. “I couldn’t do this without all of you,” he added. Those imposed policies included top-level support for divisive employee identity groups,
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday night that Republicans could try to “kill” Sen. JD Vance.
Raskin was referring to the hostility expressed by a small group of rioters on January 6, 2021, who brought a mock guillotine to the Capitol and were said to be searching for Vice President Mike Pence to punish him for not rejecting the congressional certification of the Electoral College vote.
The speech was bitter, and vindictive — as much of Raskin’s rhetoric has been about Trump, even before he took office.
CHICAGO, Illinois — Vice President Kamala Harris has hired disgraced “Russia collusion” hoaxer Marc Elias to help lead her massive team of election lawyers as they prepare to fight former President Donald Trump and the Republicans over voting results.
Elias will join a team of lawyers that is reportedly ten times larger than the team of 600 lawyers that then-candidate Joe Biden boasted he had hired in the summer of 2020 to challenge election results in close contests nationwide. The New York Times reported Elias’s new role in the Kamala Harris campaign on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
People protesting the Democratic National Convention (DNC) were seen marching through the streets of Chicago dressed as abortion pills.
Video footage posted on X showed protesters dressed in white outfits, appearing to look like abortion pills with the words “MIFE” and “MISO” written on them.

“MISO” stands for misoprostol and is the “second medication” in a medical abortion, according to Planned Parenthood’s website.
A DNC delegate was arrested in connection with a vicious assault that critically injured a Ferguson, Missouri police officer and left him fighting for his life.
Last Friday, during a protest to mark the tenth anniversary of the death of brutal teenage thug Michael Brown, Officer Travis Brown was pushed to the ground while making an arrest for property damage in front of the police station. He suffered a brain injury after hitting his head and is currently in critical condition.
One of the individuals arrested was Keith Rose, an anti-cop activist and member of the St. Louis Civilian Oversight Board, a body that is tasked with reviewing allegations of police misconduct

An 11-year-old migrant boy was arrested as the main “aggressor” in a group that allegedly pummelled a straphanger and stole his phone in a violent subway robbery, the NYPD and police sources said Wednesday.

This was clearly an unforeseen development coming out of the United Kingdom. As we recently discussed, unrest has been growing among the Brits over the massive migration of illegal aliens to their shores, similar to what's been seen in the United States over the past couple of years.[snip] Not only don't they want people protesting in the streets, but they are looking to silence any complaints being made online. And he's not limiting the threat to only UK citizens. He's threatening to extradite and imprison Americans who sympathize with the cause of the protesters. This is a position that he needs to rethink very quickly.
As Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and his police chief were frantically calling Governor Tim Walz in the summer of 2020 to save a besieged police precinct, Governor Tim Walz refused to send National Guard soldiers to help the beleaguered police officers. Later, in rationalizing and justifying his conscious decision to let riots metastasize, Walz said the Guard wasn't up to the task. [tweet] He went on to say, "Putting a young troop with limited experience in the military with a loaded automatic weapon in the middle of a system with no one giving him direction
That was on Wednesday, by the time Walz finally authorized the deployment of "19-year-old" cooks,
The Summer Olympic Games scheduled for Los Angeles in 2028 will be car-free with spectators expected to leave their private vehicles behind and only use public transport to access events, mayor Karen Bass decreed Saturday.
Bass addressed the issue of the city’s notorious traffic in her opening remarks at a press conference in Paris on Saturday.
She added Angelenos not traveling to events over the two-week festival of sport will be expected to work remotely to keep freeways clear, citing COVID restrictions as an example of how stay-at-home expectations can be implemented.

The organizers behind a mobile health clinic offering free abortions and vasectomies near where thousands of people are gathering for the Democratic National Convention in Chicago are pushing back amid outrage from conservatives.
Planned Parenthood Great Rivers announced it was bringing its mobile health clinic to Chicago and offering free services to those who signed up on August 19 and 20, which are the first two days of the convention.
Before the clinic even arrived, they announced that all of the appointments had been filled and that they would follow up if they had cancelations but the move sparked an avalanche of criticism online.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her entrance on the stage of the Democrat National Convention in Chicago to Sara Bareilles' song, "Brave," followed by a standing ovation and a ton of applause. Next to AOC's speech, this was the most energy exhibited at what has been a fairly lackluster Night 1 of the DNC.
Clinton noted the rise in energy.
Wow. There's a lot of energy in this room, just like there is across the country! Something, something is happening in America! You can feel it. Something we've worked for and dreamed of for a long time.
First, though, let's salute President Biden.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz used favorable language to describe Chinese communism when teaching a high school social studies class in 1991, according to an unearthed article in Nebraska’s Alliance Times-Herald.
Walz told students that, under communism, “everyone shares” and gets free food and housing from the government, according to the resurfaced newspaper piece first reported by the Washington Free Beacon. Just two years before the article was published, China’s communist government massacred pro-democracy student protesters in Tiananmen Square, with death counts ranging from several hundred to thousands, according to the BBC.
Law enforcement agencies are upping protective measures ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which starts on Monday in Chicago, Illinois.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday refused to debate former President Donald Trump in a third proposed matchup the former president suggested.
Harris, who refused to answer on August 8 if she accepted Trump’s three debate challenges, has only promised to show up at two events, according to a Harris campaign statement.Harris agreed to debate Trump September 10 on NBC News and again sometime in October.Trump offered to debate Harris on September 4 on Fox News, September 10 on NBC News, and September 25 on ABC News.

Harley-Davidson on Monday said it is ditching some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals, a move that comes after it faced pressure from anti-diversity critics on social media.
The iconic motorcycle manufacturer follows John Deere & Co. and Tractor Supply, which both made similar decisions to scratch their diversity programs earlier this summer.
In a message posted to X, Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson said it currently has no "DEI function" and has not operated such a program since April 2024. The company added that it has no hiring quotas and no longer has "supplier diversity spend

My flak jacket is on as I write this since I am sure to offend or p*** off some friends, family, and colleagues who are ostensibly Republicans or conservatives but have a visceral aversion to Donald Trump.
Some tell me they are Republican and miss Ronald Reagan but also admit they “couldn’t” vote for Donald Trump in either 2016 or 2020. Nothing says one is Republican like voting for a liberal Democrat.
This is the NeverTrump wing of the Republican Party, emerging shortly after Trump secured the GOP nomination in 2016. Reasons for NeverTrump-ism are myriad.
Some were offended by his mean tweets, name-calling, and brash Queens personality.

Davis was speaking to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer when she connected Trump to the KKK. She said to Whitmer:
As you know, former President Donald Trump is expected to go campaign in Howell, Michigan, tomorrow. Many people are aware that a month ago, in Howell, KKK protesters marched in the streets with the white robes on and suggested that they support Donald Trump.
