Across the country, Democrats are moving to ban popular semiautomatic weapons as well as magazines holding more than 10 or 15 rounds of ammunition. That includes, most recently, Virginia, which has careened to the left after the election of Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D). However, the most chilling such legislation may be in Minnesota, where state Sen. Matt Klein has introduced SF 4290. The law not only bans semiautomatic rifles and magazines with more than ten bullets, but also allows citizens to keep prior purchased weapons only if they agree to allow the police to enter their homes to inspect storage and safety conditions.
The Supreme Court has thus far dodged review of these bans. However, while courts have upheld the bans in places like Illinois, some of us believe that banning weapons like the AR-15 is arbitrary and unconstitutional.
We have a Second Amendment protection of gun ownership, with over 490 million guns in private hands, as of 2022. In 2008, the Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, recognizing the Second Amendment as encompassing an individual right to bear arms. The Supreme Court further strengthened the right in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen.
The AR-15 is the most popular gun in America and the number of these guns in private hands is continuing to rise rapidly, with one AR-15 purchased in every five new firearms sales. These AR-15s clearly are not being purchased for armored deer. Many are purchased for personal and home protection; it is also popular for target shooting and hunting. Many gun owners like the AR-15 because it is modular; depending on the model, you can swap out barrels, bolts and high-capacity magazines, or add a variety of accessories. While it does more damage than a typical handgun, it is not the most powerful gun sold in terms of caliber; many guns have equal or greater caliber.
Courts are divided on both the bans on semiautomatic weapons and the magazine bans.
However, what makes the Minnesota law so distinctive is the provision on home inspections. The law states that, in addition to securing state permission or certification for the possession of existing weapons, owners must “agree to allow the appropriate law enforcement agency to inspect the storage of the
device to ensure compliance with this subdivision.”
So new sales of these models would be banned, while existing weapons could only be retained if owners agree to home inspections. It is part of an overall assault on gun rights not just to limit models but to add layers of regulation for those who wish to retain their weapons.
These laws will, hopefully, compel the Court to accept review of these laws and bring greater clarity on the scope of this individual right.
Aside from the ban itself, the inspection provision certainly seems a blatant violation of the 4A protections. Demanding to inspect your home without particularized suspicion can’t stand.
If its not about guns in MN, then its about personhood for rice: https://x.com/MWilliamsonMN/status/2031406312215502911
yes personhood for rice!
But if all that Minnesota wild rice is granted the right to life, then all those Minnesotans on public assistance could stock up and may no longer need all those fraudulent SNAP and welfare claims! You know, Rice cakes, Rice Milk, Rice Pudding, Rice Wine, Rice Vinegar, Rice Krispies, Rice-a-Roni! We could kill two pests with one seed!
Lin,
Thank you for the laugh!!
But what about Condoleeza Rice?
“But what about Condoleeza Rice?”
That was fake rice, merely thinly disguised farina….
Minnesota’s SF 4290 (per State Sen. Matt Klein)
We all know where this is heading ~ A.I enhanced false and mistaken Arrests.
This is JTs blog and he can blog on whatever topic he chooses. But isn’t it interesting he picks up obscure little tidbits where Demos had done some crazy thing and ignores the voluminous items where the trump administration is subverting the rule of law?
Did you hear trump accused the iranians of using a tomahawk missile on their own girls in school? Slight problem. Iran does not have tomahawk missiles Only the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan have them.
Think about that for a second, the President of the United States doesn’t even know who possesses these missiles. Idiot.
Obscure tidbits? What’s so obscure about automatic weapons and excessive government intrusion?
Turley to writes opinions about current and potential emphasize legal issues that pertain to a majority of readers.
Sure, but what about the unlawful items the trump administration is doing. How many times has the courts struck down the DOJs attempt at putting unlawful prosecutors in the DC area?
Why is trump using the FCC to silence critics?
Why is trump using tariffs in a haphazard way, when tariffs are explicitly the province of Congress per the Constitution.
Why is the trump administration ignoring due process?
So many things the trump administration is doing illegally and JT focuses on these obscure, meaningless (yes, meaningless) items.
History will not treat enablers of trump well. Look at how well Hitler and his supporters are treated.
Pal, you are free to create your own blog on Substack and write what ever comes to mind. I believe that the professor has a day job, a family, and only 24 hours in a day and therefore focuses on certain items that catch his attention..
“Sure, but what about . . . .?” Four common little words that provide an almost 100% indication that the argument to follow is either worthless, spurious, irrelevant, or constructing a straw man to be knocked down. (Hint: also provides a strong clue about the author of such a comment.)
Carey Allison,
Well said.
“Sure, but what about the unlawful items the trump administration is doing.”
Please name an adverse ruling against the Trump administration that has survived all the way through appeals to the Supreme court ?
It is not this administration that is acting unlawfully – it is the judiciary – in a few left wing nut enclaves.
” How many times has the courts struck down the DOJs attempt at putting unlawful prosecutors in the DC area?”
The actual law passed by Congress says that the US AG can appoint any and all US prosecutors below the level of US Attorney.
US Attorney’s must be appointed by the president and confirmed by congress.
But when a US attorney position is vacant the president or the US AG can appoint an acting USA for up to 120 days.
“Why is trump using the FCC to silence critics?”
That has been thoroughly debunked.
“Why is trump using tariffs in a haphazard way”
Your opinion on how Trump is using Tariffs is not important – unless you are president.
Regardless, there is nothing haphazard about Trump’s use of Tariffs – he is OPENLY doing so to negotiate FAIR TRADE with other nations.
“when tariffs are explicitly the province of Congress per the Constitution.”
The constitutional issues are more complex than that – Trade negotiations are the domain of the president – but must ultimately be approved by the Senate.
And Congress has delegated a substantial amount of Tariff power tot he president – just not the broad power Trump claimed through IEEPA.
“Why is the trump administration ignoring due process?”
Where ?
The amount of due process you are entitled to is proportionate to the rights beingf infringed on and the direct harm of that infringement.
If you are on trail for your life – facing execution if convicted – you are entitled to massive due process.
If you have been given a parking ticket – you are entitled to a hearing before a district magistrate that you will lose, and after that a hearing in a district court – where you will be laughed out of court. You are not taking a parking ticket to the supreme court. Just not happening.
Illegal immigrants have no legal right to be in the US. There is no RIGHT that is being infringed upon. They are entitled to the due process afforded by the US INS courts, and very little more. When they lose – as they inevitably will – they are being sent HOME – not to h311.
You are not entitled to due process unless your have an actual right that is being violated.
There is no right for those in the US illegally to remain here.
“So many things the trump administration is doing illegally”
You say this – and make vague non specific claims. But nothing that actually holds up.
Trump has lost very little of this left wing lawfare in the FINAL decisions – whether SCOTUS or apelate courts through out YOUR stupid claims of illegality.
A few days ago – Turley addressed the dismissal of one of these claims in the 7th circuit.
“History will not treat enablers of trump well. Look at how well Hitler and his supporters are treated.”
But it is those of you on the left who are lawless, who are totalitarian.
In this article we have Minnesota democrats passing obviously unconstitutional laws – unconstitutional on MULTIPLE levels.
That is far more egregious than anything Trump has done.
We understand those of you on the left do not like Guns. But do not play games and pretend that you follow the constitution – when you only do so when it suits you.
If you do not like the 2nd Amendment – amend the constitution.
Until you do, it is LAWLESS to constantly try to pass laws that you KNOW violate the 2nd amendment.
Do not moan about Trump – who WINS 95% of the cases against him – and if you had the lightest ability to think critically you would KNOW that he is going to win,
When you are passing laws you KNOW will get struck down as unconstitutional.
Sure, but what about the unlawful items the trump administration is doing.
There aren’t any. None of the things you list are unlawful.
The rogue district judges who are in open rebellion against the United States will be brought in line. All these decisions are eventually being overturned, piece by piece.. It’s taking too long, but it’s happening.
The FCC is not silencing critics.
Tariffs are authorized by laws made by Congress. Congress doesn’t set the tariffs, it authorizes the president to do so, just as Congress doesn’t borrow money, it authorizes the president to do so. Trump misread one statute, the courts corrected him, so those tariffs are gone. Now he’s using a different statute, and once again it’s being challenged, and we’ll see whether he’s reading that one correctly. That’s no different than what Biden did with student loans He misread one statute, and when he was corrected he stopped relying on it and found a different statute.
And no, the administration is not ignoring due process.
I don’t agree with everything the administration does, but it’s far more right than wrong, and far more right than most previous administrations.
None of these actions are illegal, until a court makes a ruling, then that ruling is appealed, maybe more than once. Presidential powers are not well defined. Trump is free to do just about anything he wants to do, until the supreme court rules otherwise. Until that happens, he can do what he wants. I feel like I’m talking to a 15yr old. A dispute about the separation of powers does not make you “Hitler”. I hope you’re being paid by the word and that no one checks your work.
“What’s so obscure about automatic weapons and excessive government intrusion?”
Um. When last I checked (about 5 minutes ago) AR-15 and similar weapons were SEMI-automatic. Both are imo protected by the 2nd A, but in practical present-day market terms, there is a vast difference.
You hit the nail on the head. There are tremendous unconstitutional offenses committed by Trump and his goons DAILY, but Turley turns a blind eye to every one of them to find literally ANYTHING he can to criticize about the Democrats. But this is done all in the service of maintaining his readership and selling his books. He KNOW if he were to provide objective critiques on the most important topics of the day that most of his readers would dump him. He bemoans the “Age of Rage” and then throws more fuel on the fire to get it burning hotter, then warms his hands by the flame.
WOW! What an angry TDS patient! They’re doing wonderful things with medications these days!
There are tremendous unconstitutional offenses committed by Trump and his goons DAILY,
No, there aren’t, at least in comparison with previous administrations.
There are plenty of other places where Trump’s misdeeds, true and imagined, are covered in depth. Places where the lefts excesses are covered fairly with an emphasis on law/logic rather than emotion, not so much. That’s why I come here. If I want the opposing view just about any other “news” outlet will provide that.
There are so many stories of Dems doing stupid stuff – because Dems do stupid stuff.
As to the deaths at the Girls school – that is still being investigated. Contra your claim it is NOT clear who hit the girls school.
Iran does not Have tomohawks – they do have IRBM’s – and the Iranian IRBM’s are notoriously unreliable – these are just bigger longer range versions of the SCUDS that Sadam fired at Israel in 2003.
I suspect that the ultimate conclusion will be that it was a US weapon that hit the girls school – but it is Far from clear that is the case.
There absolutely was an Iranian IRBM that missfired at that time and landed somewhere in Iran.
YOU are the one who is the IDIOT. The Iranian regime has lied about just about everything in this conflict.
There are no reliable sources on the ground. We have video of the strike – that is it.
Regardless there have been far more innocent civilians killed IN IRAN by the Iranians since the start of this – than by the US – and many time more throughout the mideast.
Further – there is no means of avoiding civilian casualities – and they are likely to get worse unless Iran capitulates soon.
We already KNOW the IRGC has moved out of its official facilities and is operating out of Schools and hospitals – just as Hamas did in Gaza.
If you doubt that – watch Iran provided video’s – often these are being shot in Classrooms – Chalk Boards and elementary school lessons are often clearly visible in the videos.
We are already targeting the IRGC and Basij, and we will eventually target them in Schools.
It is near certain that more than once we will hit a school that is NOT filled with IRGC and Basij.
But that will not change the fact that the IRGC and Basic are currently running through the streets firing automatic weapons into apartments to discourage people from coming onto the streets. And that Iranian hospitals are only treating IRGC and Basij militia members – if you are an ordinary Iranian injured in this conflict – you are own your own.
Iran will not help you.
John Say: I agree with you, although I personally believe it may be less likely that Iran is responsible for the girls’ school. Iran does has a reputation for reverse-engineering ballistics and missiles from other non-detonated duds or debris fields. I do not know if Iran has duplicated its version of Tomahawk.
My Guess – and that is all that it is, is this was a US targeting error. But there is no clear evidence wither way, and nothing from Iran is close to trustworthy.
The persians are smart people. I am not looking to insult them. One of the very real reasons for doing this NOW, is that Their missles will be better more accurate and longer range and more numerous in a few years. They will eventually get nukes – they have admitted that enough 60% enriched Uranium survived the June 2025 strike to make 3 Hiroshima weapons. Going from natural uranium to 60% enriched is very hard. Going from 60-90% is easy and can be done quickly.
Absent an agreement to turn over 400kg+ of enrighed uranium or regime change – Iran will have a bomb eventually – and eventually is before Trump would leave office.
Converting that to something that can be delivered by IRBM is a more difficult task. But given enough time – the persians can do it.
As they are currently proceeding they will have nukes, they will have better, longer range and more numberous missles, they will have more, batter and longer range drones, and they will fund terrorists destabalizing the mideast.
Conversely if they get past threatening their neighbors with violence, they is no reason all that skill and talent can not go to making Iran and its people very well off.
Before, it was Hamas firing from schools and hospitals, and now it is the Iranians. Does anyone see a pattern?
The only pattern I see is an idiot making idiotic remarks, which I guess is what idiots tend to do.
Were you looking in a mirror when you wrote that, or did you just finish another bottle?
I definitely see a pattern emerging, and it is becoming a lot more clear as the idiot makes even more idiotic remarks.
Yep. No sooner than you finish with one bottle, you pick up another one.
The pattern continues to come into much sharper focus as John Say enters the pattern, and we now have two idiots making idiotic statements.
Take another bottle. Then you will have 4 idiots, another bottle 8 idiots. Soon, the bottles add up and turn into you.
I really wish you would make the effort to come up with more creative insults.
You are beating the alcoholism insult to death. Simply repeating it does not strengthen the insult. It diminishes the effect. Only an idiot would think repeating the same insult is more effective.
Try to engage some higher cortical functions to formulate more creative insults.
Of course, you inability to be more creative most likely indicates the absence of the necessary higher cortical functions.
Why should I work to make more creative insults? Do you write posts that make sense? Do you use an alias instead of a generic name? What have you done to deserve any respect?
When you put the bottle down, you have to put more down than just the bottle.
Apparently you really are going to continue to beat this dead horse of an alcoholism metaphor long after it is dead.
I am confused about your question regarding the use of an alias or a generic name. Surely there is no difference between an alias and a generic name. Both involve the use of a name that is not the actual name of the person commenting. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to the difference.
Is an alias better than a generic name?
Would you prefer that I adopt an alias, or would you rather that I adopt a generic name?
What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of making such a choice?
Please enlighten me as to the differences so that I can make an informed choice in this most important matter.
You also ask what I have done to deserve any respect. Presumably you mean respect from you, although this is unsaid in your comment.
The short answer is that I have absolutely no interest in any respect that may be on offer from an idiot.
I would regard respect from an idiot in a most unfavorable light, and would studiously avoid any attempt to gain your respect.
An alias and a distinct icon separate one anonymous creature from another that gives the anonymous person a history to stand behind.
The respect you may desire is from the community you are in. That should be easy enough to understand.
What ????
No more alcoholism retorts ???
I’m shocked !!!!
Apparently you also presume that I should desire to gain the respect of the community that I am in.
Thankfully, I am most definitely not in this community of morons and misfits like you who come here every day to vent their grievances and make moronic comments about matters of which they have absolutely no comprehension. Respect from this “community” is absolutely the last thing that I desire.
My sole purpose in coming here is to heap mockery, scorn and derision on a motley collection of geriatric crackpots and kooks who have nothing better to do than make stupid comments and then congratulate each other on their “well said” remarks in an unseemly display of mutual masturbation.
“Thankfully, I am most definitely not in this community of morons”
Like everyone else, you placed yourself here; not anyone else, not the bottle. You chose to be among, in your words, morons. Why? Are you looking for a place where your ego can climb to new heights because you are inadequate?
“Respect from this “community” is absolutely the last thing that I desire.”
That is true, and I congratulate you for recognizing what you don’t deserve.
“My sole purpose in coming here is to heap mockery, scorn and derision on “
Yourself? You got what you wanted.
Ahhh!!! I knew it was too good to be true. We are back to the alcoholism insults. You really are predictably stupid.
And why do you have this obsession with repeating my comments all the time?
Rhetorical question obviously. As a “follower” and an “imitator” you are compelled to imitate me and follow me around like a lost puppy.
And why do believe that I have chosen to be among this community of morons?
Very strange statement.
Obviously I have not chosen to be among those in this community. I am very much on the outside looking in, like watching a bunch of performing monkeys in a zoo. The only thing I have chosen to do is to occasionally visit here to watch what the monkeys are up to in their closed little cages where they are completely cut off from the realities of the rest of the world.
And why do you persist in saying that I recognize that I don’t DESERVE your respect?
I thought I made it perfectly clear that I have absolutely no interest in any respect that you morons may offer. Respect from idiots and morons is not something that normal people desire. Quite the opposite in fact. Apparently your limited grasp of the English language does not allow you to understand the difference between “desiring” something and “deserving” something. I guess you think these two words are the same, and it will probably come as quite a shock to you that these words are actually different, even though the start with the same 3 letters and end with the same 3 letters. Just because two words look similar and share the same letters does not mean that they have the same meaning.
Quite surprising, isn’t it !!
Your grandiloquence is just a substitute for the bottle. Same slurred logic, different medium.
Yet another example of a word salad of meaningless gibberish that once again demonstrates for all the world to see that you have an astoundingly minimal, and tenuous, grasp of the English language.
You use the word grandiloquence to describe my prose, and surprisingly you actually spelled it correctly. Undoubtedly someone else had to have looked up this word for you, since your command of the language is so poor there is no possibility that you could have found the word by yourself. Perhaps your lovely wife has returned from one of her super-secret, clandestine missions behind the Iron Curtain with microfilm braided into her hair, and she helped you to find the word.
However, your use of the word is clearly misplaced. You are confusing my normal command and usage of the English language with grandiloquence. I can see how you would think that, since your language skills are so poor. It must be a great struggle for you to understand my use of polysyllabic words in compound sentences, and it must indeed seem to you like grandiloquence, because you are essentially monosyllabic and your linguistic skill level never advanced beyond the classic “run, Spot run”, Dick and Jane primers. (I apologize for this complex compound sentence. I know you will have trouble comprehending it, but maybe your lovely wife can explain it to you).
However, back to the point at hand. You mistakenly characterize my prose as grandiloquence because you feel intimidated by my normal, functional command of the language, which to you appears as grandiloquence. In addition you may not really understand what this word actually means. This is a reasonable conclusion since you have already clearly demonstrated that you do not understand the words “sophistry”, and “paralogism”, or the meaning of the term, “non sequitur”. You also misused the term “quanta”, and spelled “grammarless” as “grammerless”. All these observations are clear and convincing evidence of your minimal grasp of the English language.
I find your use of the word “slurred” to be interesting as well. It is generally accepted, by those of us with a functional understanding of the language, that this word is used to refer to speech, not logic. This is yet another example of your poor grasp of the correct use of words, and your astonishingly poor overall linguistic skills that would be more appropriate for a preschooler, although a reasonably intelligent preschooler would probably appear as an orator with the skills of a modern day Demosthenes compared to you. (I apologize. Another long compound sentence again. I’m sure your lovely wife can explain it to you).
Given that you do not see clear patterns in reality, it seems likely that the patterns you are seeing might as SM notes be from a bottle.
What has SM said that is not correct ?
Did you hear trump accused the iranians of using a tomahawk missile on their own girls in school?
Liar. Trump never said that. He said (almost certainly correctly) that the school was hit with an Iranian missile. NOT a Tomahawk. There is literally not a shred of evidence that it was hit by a Tomahawk. It is pure enemy propaganda, and spreading it is an act of adherence to the enemy, which is treason. An overt act is not a requirement to make it treason, it’s just a requirement for trying someone. Someone who adheres to the enemy without any overt act committed before witnesses is a traitor, just one who can’t be tried for it.
Not to mention that even if it turns out to have been hit by a Tomahawk after all (which is possible, even though there’s no evidence for it), so what? We didn’t fire at the school, we fired at the army base. As far as anyone knows, we hit the base. But if it turns out that we missed, that’s what happens in war. It’s acceptable collateral damage. So it shouldn’t bother anyone if it turns out that way. But without any evidence that it did, it’s treason to assume it just because the enemy says so.
It has become an expectation that leftist legislatures care nothing whatever for the crises and urgencies in their home states. Minnesota, with one of the highest fraud/citizen rates in the world forgets fraud as though it isn’t there. They go back to tried and tested guns. Make one wonder how many of them are sharing in the fraud. AND all of this can be done with merely 90K Somalis and their voting block. So, don’t wonder why
Schumer, et al hate the SAVE ACT.
The thread today is about firearms in MN.
Ano
Did you miss this part.
Minnesota, with one of the highest fraud/citizen rates in the world forgets fraud as though it isn’t there. They go back to tried and tested guns.
DustOff,
Yep. Millions of dollars in fraud and Democrats want to intrude on law abiding Americans, violate their 2ndA and 4thA rights. Yes, that kinda is a big deal and is a gross display of misguided Democrats priorities.
PT designated the article as uncategorized. It’s nonsense in other words.
Schumer, et al hate the SAVE ACT.
Pass the SAVE ACT and watch Democrats lose power. Win win
You have to love the chutzpah of the Democrats. They never learn. The Supreme Court has warned everyone and they still run across the line. This feels more like to me not just an unConstitutional ban on unfavorable viewed weapons, but a work around to both the fourth and fifth amendments. I cannot see how this stands.
But you can still open a “day care” and get millions of dollars in state funds WITHOUT any inspection, right?
Senator Klein should volunteer to do the inspections himself, in person, alone… rather than impose his wet dream onto law abiding citizens and the LEOs that are meant to protect them.
There is no way this is constitutional. you only have to look at a ran and see what happens when the government is the only one who has weapons
No way? Please explain.
The broad enforcement of that law would be impoosible. The intent of such a law is to enable brutal selective enforcement against political opponents.
Got law to prove it?
brutal selective enforcement? That’s the democrats new branding! now they just need a leader and supporters and reasons and a plan maybe a few cover-ups and …
Well, maybe making americans the enemy of the democrat party was a bad idea? Same strategy Iran is taking right now, how’s that working out?
I would love to be around when someone comes to “inspect” homes of gun owners up on the Iron Range! I worked with and visited men who managed an open pit mine where iron ore was mined; I saw their trophies, listened to their stories of hunting, etc. They and their families are the kind of men whose work built the USA.
“I would love to be around when someone comes to “inspect” homes of gun owners up on the Iron Range! ”
If your point is that those inspectors could ultimately be added to the local “endangered species list” you should some right out and say that. Some of us would regard such a thing as a positive development.
If the most popular firearm in America, isnt ” in common use” what is?
must “agree”. The mantra of the zombie socialists.
so when do we get to
Jailing The Democrats by 1000’s for THEIR CRIMES!!
1) Russian Hoax, Trump Persecution
2) Protecting bidens, other crimes, jail bad judges
3) Jan 6th entrapment
4) Vote Crimes
5) Helping Illegals & Stealing
6) Child endangerment
7) Who call for Violence
8) COVID
The party of catch & release,
The party of no-cash bail,
The party of no borders,
The party that elected a cartel member’s son to the U.S. Senate (Ruben Gallego D AZ; look it up)
has no business lecturing anybody about gun crime. Crime is way down because Democrats are down. On this occasion, correlation is causation.
The party of catch and release? That would be MAGA – who released all the J6 insurrectionists….
The party of no-cash bail? That would be MAGA who moved a pedophile to a minimum security prison and released thugs who beat on cops
The party of no borders? That would MAGA under whose leadership has seen, for the first time in a century, more Americans leaving American than immigrating to it.
The party that elects criminals? That would be MAGA who literally elected a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist as President
Have a good day!
A swing and a miss.
Hi digoenes – thanks for your insightful addition to the conversation. Did you know that six of the pardoned January 6th insurrectionists have been subsequently charged with committing child sex crimes, ranging from sexual assault to possession of child pornography? What a political party!
Small potatoes compared to Epstein Island. Disney Land for Democrat donors.
Righto. Trump was a Dem when he banged under age girls.
the blue dress looked better on Bill Clinton than Monica Lewinsky
Trump was a Dem when he banged under age girls
That is outright libel, and if Trump cared enough he would find out your identity from your IP address and sue you for every penny you have — and win. You deserve to be living in a cardboard box while he enjoys everything you have.
Do you know one of the Capital police officers who was loved by the dems is in trouble for rape
Did you know that six of the pardoned January 6th insurrectionists have been subsequently charged with [other crimes]
So what? No one ever claimed or imagined that none of them were criminals. They were not pardoned for any other crimes they committed, and they can be and are being charged with those. The point is that there was no “insurrection” on J6, and their prosecutions for their actions on that day were bogus and a perversion of justice. The prosecutors and judges who imprisoned them should all be in prison now, and are lucky they’re not. Their victims are now free to get on with their lives, which in some cases will be criminal lives.
No he actually hit himself. In the head, apparently multiple times.
It wasn’t an insurrection. It was a riot.
Shut upa you face with the “insurrection” BS. Even the courts didn’t believe that.
The Court did not rule that January 6 was not an insurrection; it explicitly declined to decide that question.
Only lunatics believe all of that crap. Said by a member of a party who has fetishized criminal aliens.
Ha, HAHAH, HAHHAHAHAHA. Thanks,
insurrectionists? How was convicted of that? Heck, who was even charged for that? Hint: no one.
Amazing the left still tries to spread this talking point that the overwhelming majority of America knows is bull.
But you do you. Continue to lie! Its been working so well…
There can be an insurrection without anyone being convicted of it. CHAZ was clearly and explicitly an insurrection, but no one was even charged. Likewise the riots at the Portland courthouse; every participant in that should have been charged with insurrection, but none were.
Political theater for their fellow Crazies. It would NEVER stand.
Fascists are going to Fascist!
The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable government intrusions into the home, requiring warrants based on probable cause.
Meanwhile the HOUSE can have 10 illegals…MN completely uninterested!
Time to END Federal Aid to States!
Agreed – the top five states that receive Federal Aid are, in order, #1 Alaska, #2 Kentucky, #3 West Virginia, #4 Mississippi, #5 South Carolina. It’s well past time to cut these lazy, red Trump-loving states off.
ACTUALLY
NY receives almost TWICE the Federal Aid per Person as Florida! Florida HAS MORE People and More Retired People
The five states that received the most federal aid were:
California ($162.9 billion)
New York ($110.2 billion)
Texas ($105.8 billion)
Florida ($58.8 billion)
Pennsylvania ($57.1 billion)
Time to show you work, please. Can you reference this? I can reference mine: https://www.sciotoanalysis.com/news/2025/2/19/which-states-rely-the-most-on-federal-funds#:~:text=Table_title:%20Which%20states%20rely%20the%20most%20on,$%2022%2C420%2C270.00%20%7C%20Percentage%20Federal:%2037%25%20%7C
Maybe you need to distinguish between money spent on federal installations like military bases, infrastructure projects, and welfare type programs.
guyventner is correct. I regret that you have misinterpreted the very chart and link that you referred us to. The chart ACTUALLY depicts the ratio between federal funds to a state and the state’s total revenue.
Moreover, if you read the link that you provided, you will see that the states you cited have reasons for reliance of federal funding:
“For instance, let’s consider Alaska. Between national parks, conservation land, and military bases, 60% of Alaska’s land is federally owned. This not only requires federal funds to maintain this land, it also limits Alaska’s state and local governments’ ability to raise revenue through property taxation, which nationally makes up 27% of total state and local tax revenue.”
“Both Vermont and Kentucky, as rural states, deal with a lot of the same dynamics as Alaska. They have small populations per capita, giving them smaller tax bases and large areas to maintain services across. Roads, healthcare, and infrastructure cost more to provision per capita in rural areas than in urban areas. “
Lin,
Thank you for pointing out the facts of the matter the annony tired to gas light us with.
Federal money spend in a state is NOT aid to the state. If the US government decides it needs pineapples for some purpose, so it buys a whole lot of them from suppliers in Hawaii because that’s where they grow, that is NOT aid to Hawaii. It’s just the government buying what it needs.
That is one fundamental lie that is behind the chart you cited. Another is the stupid premise that the government’s expenditures in each state ought to bear some proportion to the taxes it collects from people in that state. Again, the lie is that the taxes are paid by the state, and the spending is received by the state. Neither is true. The taxes are paid by individuals in the state, the spending is received by vendors in the state, and those are not the same people. Ditto with actual aid given to people in a state; they are not the same people who pay taxes in that state, so there’s no connection between them and no reason they should bear any particular ratio.
Republicans introduce unconstitutional bills all the time. I have seen bills to mandate Christianity, bring back segregation, book bans, same sex marriage bans, and so on. Why does Turley freak out over this bill in MN, but does not care one lick about every other bill by Republicans. The big difference is sometimes the Republicans actually pass their bills.
So Danny
Please provide us with the unconstitutional bills that you’re referencing. I would really like to see them. Otherwise, that is an outright lie.
you have seen a bill mandating Christianity? Care to show an example?
I’ll play. Texas is trying to mandate that Biblical passages are read as part of K-12 education – a requirement that would be made by the Board of Education.

Would you like more examples?
So what? We have freedom of religion NOT from religion. The founders did not seek to ban religion from the public square or even from schools. The intent was not to form an official state religion. Christianity is baked into the cake. Don’t like it? Move
True, but history, foundational principles and common sense do not matter anymore. Stupidity, blind allegiance to failed ideologies and emotions drive most people these days. We are in desperate need of a flood, plague of locusts or a spirit that slays the first born male of leftists – those that they did not abort, strangle or decapitate upon delivery
Uh hem, I think there’s the part about the government making a claim that the officials are ordained and chosen by God as in divine right of kings. 😂 . We could argue but I’m busy.
That doesn’t “mandate Christianity”
Well, there was/is the Ayotollah, uh hem. Cloward Piven is being used right now to force a change.
Theocracies exist in the world today but fewer than historically. Iran is a theocracy, Saudi Arabia is with absolute monarchy, Vatican City, Afghanistan and Mauritania also.
Good grief, freedom of religion targets divine right. Charlie Kirk was political and brought debate into unethical, immoral politics and his wife in black lace (Tammy Faye) is poor substitute. Sorry, Tammy Faye black lace fans. 😂

I think the anony at 9:38 got confused between the voluntary Texas Bluebonnet curriculum and the Virginia MANDATE of Democrats’ HB333 about classroom instruction regarding J6. Got more examples?
did anony at 9:38 confuse the VOLUNTARY reference to a few Bible passages in the Texas Bluebonnet program, with the MANDATE of Virginia HB333 controlling what teachers can say about J6?
HB333 mandates that teachers tell the truth about J6. That should not be controversial.
by prohibiting under law any reference to J6 as anything but an “insurrection?”
“Attempted coup” is also acceptable.
Turley doesn’t give a rip about AR-15s or the 4th Amendment for that matter….but he knows full well that the loyal Turley reader loves his/her guns….so he offers them a nice big plate of red meat every day. My proof? After Alex Pretti was killed, he said nothing as Kash Patel, Trump and a dozen other Republicans openly claimed that it was “illegal to for a legal gun carrier to carry a gun to a protest.”
Charging at a federal agent while armed is suicidal. It doesn’t make him a saint or a martyr. It makes him very stupid. The lunatic was responsible for his own death.
There is a significant difference between what someone said and introducing a bill that may pass that violates Americans 2ndA and 4thA rights and is un-Constitutional.
The good professor is not offering anything. Democrats are. They are the ones who introduce un-Constitutional bills they want passed into law. If Democrats would not attempt to violate the Constitution, the good professor would not have to point it out.
You mean the Bills that make common sense right?
” . . .only if they agree to allow the police to enter their homes to inspect storage and safety conditions”
This is a perfect example of government overreach and gives off the odor of a “gestapo”. While I don’t live in Virginia, I hope their citizens will realize they have a communist as a governor and get rid of her and her minions.
The one thing TDS has exposed is the expanse of the Marxist/Communist infiltration of Local/State/Federal government and the Judicial Branch!!! Wake up Americans.
Trump is building an immigrant concentration camp on the same location that there was a Japanese concentration camp. Americans are waking up.
You left off the PART about being in the country Illegally!
Which any other western country would EJECT you for!
Republicans Love Legal Immigrants
Democrats LOVE Illegal Immigrants! Who steal jobs, commit crimes and drive down wages for the poor…by 30%
That must be why Republican Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said that Oklahoma’s economy would crumble if all the undocumented immigrants were deported and that he actually values his undocumented neighbors and what they bring to the community. https://www.newson6.com/oklahoma-politics/stitt-governors-state-immigration-policies-oklahoma
Perhaps you have inferred a conclusion not presented. If Gov Stitt were given a choice, would he “value more” and choose documented immigrants and “what they bring to a community”- or would he choose illegal immigrants?
Funny how the media likes to ask certain questions but not others.
So let it crumble and watch the new market bubble of trades schools develop and our tattooed soy boy bun wearing barista and burger flipping minions morph into a physically strong AMERICAN labor force.
When you get hungry enough I promise you will work. The supply side will be paid handsomely to meet the demand.
If such a camp is being built, it is not for immigrant, it is for illegal aliens. We need to deport every last one.

I guess danny forgets Obama’s cages for illegal kids.
Dustoff: If “selective memory” were a DSM-recognized disease process, Medicaid, Medicare and ACA would likely go broke.
(not intended as a “dig” at those or any other benefit program) (it’s ugly weather the last 48 hours and I’m just having some fun on my device!)
I will go one further, if they have illegally burdened our social services, impose penalties on their bus ride home.
Follow immigration laws or get rounded up, put in detention and shipped out. That’s part of how federal law is enforced. You people have your noses so far up the asses of these criminal aliens you can’t see reality. The founders did not have suicidal empathy, neither does the LAW.
Where? Do you have any actual factual support?
garyesq2k2,
That is part of their gaslighting tactics. Spread a lie over and over again and again and some fools believe it. Just like the “They are disappearing people!!!” Or they took that kid hostage, detained him, arrested him, etc. The kids own father abandoned the kid and the mother would not take the child.
Sure danny. How many times have we heard this lie.
Gotta thank the MN dems for the assist with Reep voter registration.
