Black Flag

His suffering is over.

It is inconvenient when the pistol congeals right when it is needed the most.

There is irony in the name of the street and the school. "Dreierschützengasse" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ced27g4e6xwo Ten people have been killed in a school shooting in the Austrian city of Graz, police have said. The incident took place at Dreierschützengasse secondary school in the north-west of the city. Six females and three males were killed in the attack, according to Interior Minister Gerhard Karner. Police said the 21-year-old gunman took his own life in a school bathroom shortly after. A further 28 people are being treated for their injuries in hospital, according to local media reports.

Got any?

The internet takes a while to forget.

It's all downhill from there.

The smart money says there is a secret phone number for Dealers that is hiding in plain sight. However, that same smart money makes an educated guess that the number is tied to the same computer software.

The ISRA makes for an easy target for several reasons, but is there a specific course of action that should have been followed?

This could be used as a test of the ability of the state to shut down sales during an ............. event?

Black Flag wonders if the Freedom guys wouldn't get more traction with that if Crespo and others were invited to the "correct" side of the aisle...

Good, Thanks a lot!.

There are several different numbers, which one is the membership number?

How does one find their member number? Is it one of those numbers on the mailing label of the magazine?

And there's a reason why clubs have that kind of requirement.

How is this done?

If the government loses the case, Black Flag would prefer it be on the merits and that they be left without an excuse like "the judge didn't give us enough time."

The one that bothered Black Flag was when he saw his congressmujer Delia Ramirez spewing an endless stream of derision and derangement. https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/joint-session-coalition-house-democrats-demands-president-trump-comply-court and https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-democrats-allies-stand-sanctuary-city-mayors-demand-congress-protect She is the same one that talked about skipping the inauguration because she felt unsafe. https://www.dailyherald.com/20250115/nation-and-world-politics/i-would-feel-unsafe-some-suburban-reps-plan-to-skip-trumps-inauguration/ To add insult to insult, español antes inglés en los estados unidos ?? https://ramirez.house.gov/conozca-sus-derechos-know-your-rights

And we now know how important it is to not have those records just laying about when Soviet, Cuban and Sandinista troops come to Your Town.

What is she charged with?

At least one (D)im realizes the optics are really bad on that. Black Flag found this today on a IL (D)im Legislative Clown Blog. https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?GA=104&DocTypeID=SB&DocNum=143&GAID=18&SessionID=114&LegID=157357 Short Description: JUDICIAL CAMPAIGN REFORM Senate Sponsors Sen. Rachel Ventura Synopsis As Introduced Creates the Judicial Campaign Reform Act. Creates a voluntary program of public financing of election campaigns for the offices of judges of the Illinois Supreme Court and Appellate Court, administered by the State Board of Elections. Establishes funding mechanisms, terms of participation, and a process for the certification of candidates. Sets mandatory contribution limits with respect to all judicial election campaigns. Provides for penalties for violations of the Act. Makes other changes. Amends the State Finance Act to create the Illinois Judicial Election Democracy Trust Fund. Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act to make conforming changes. Effective January 1, 2026. News article: https://www.wcia.com/news/capitol-news/illinois-bill-looks-to-minimize-private-donors-influence-on-judicial-elections/ SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) —Illinois judicial campaigns have become very expensive, with interest groups and wealthy donors throwing around lots of cash to get their favorite judge on the bench. This has raised questions about the fairness of the election and money’s influence on the campaign. Sen. Rachel Ventura (D-Joliet) filed a bill looking to reduce the influence of private donors in Supreme Court and Appellate Court races. This will allow candidates to use public funds instead of interest group funds. She filed the bill in response to the record-breaking amount of money spent in the 2022 Illinois Supreme Court Elections. She said this legislation would keep judicial elections balanced and the candidates wouldn’t feel like they are indebted to a single person or organization. “The goal is to allow all judges to have the same opportunity, “ Ventura said. “And to get rid of that kind of off-putting feeling that someone is donating to a judge who may then later be making decisions that harm or hurt them or help them.”

So would I.

[my question is... how? My second question is... does Trump know about this deal?] https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-americans-may-feel-pain-trade-war-with-mexico-canada-china-2025-02-03/ U.S. tariffs on Mexico paused for a month after border deal, Trump says WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has paused new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to stem the flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, he said on Monday. The agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to act to prevent trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on X. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday, just hours before U.S. tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada were set to take effect. [OK, how? maybe by disbanding the ATF. and building a wall. I'm fairly certain there is no trade agreement between USA and the drug cartels.] ------------------------- https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/03/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-sheinbaum-responds.html Sheinbaum first disclosed the pause in a post on the X social media site. “We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements,” Sheinbaum wrote in the tweet, according to a translation from Spanish. She also wrote, “The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.” Trump had not mentioned a commitment to stem the flow of weapons in his Truth Social post about his conversation with Sheinbaum.
