The FDA Gets Slapped...

...and we'll all be better for it.

The FDA is not a Physician

After Durham Report Excoriates FBI for Abuse of Power, GOP Won’t Reauthorize FISA Spy Law Without Reforms

Anything that operates out of the light of day is subject to abuse. Kill it,The government abuses the hell out of it. What they did to Trump is only what we know about. When the FBI bitches about National Security, remind them they did it to themselves.

Bureaucratic Work Arounds

Because it is guidance and intended to clarify exisitng regulations, it is not subject to notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act. This is a workaround for Agencies that want to extend their power and authority without the interference of Congress. I thought this had been addressed in Sackett v. EPA and West Virginia v. EPA. If Congress didn't specifically give you the power in the written law, you don't have it. Do the courts have to specifically address every damn agency individually?

FDA Bans Farmers from Caring for Their Own Animals Without Costly Vet Approval

This is True

What's worrying is that our ruling class geniuses are manipulating energy supply, money supply, banking system integrity and supply chains with the wild abandon of a five year old brat.

Psaki Warns the Unvaccinated to Expect Government Agents to Show Up at Their Doors

It's a VIP Members only story but there is enough there to get the point. Yes, please keep exhibiting your authoritatian impluses and harassing the voting public. It can't possibly effect the outcome of the 2022 elections. Not the way ya'll run elections now.

Supreme Court ruling on intent under the Gun Control Act

This one applies to more than gun rights. The Feds have to prove intent in serious regulatory violations. Here a guy overstayed his VISA and unbeknownst to him became a prohibited person. The Feds charged him for possession of a firearm and didn't care that he didin't know he was prohibited. Now they have to.

The Devil You Know

As strange as it may be, there's something to be said for incompetence and corruption in a Federal Agency. It impedes efficiency, and inefficiency is to the gun owners advantage. Do you really want the FBI regulating firearms?

Armed EPA raid in Alaska sheds light on 70 fed agencies with armed divisions

...ya want to play with them. Armed LEOs are exactly that to most of these agencies. There is no real need where local law enforcement can't be called in to help. Their only use is to justify their expense. Just saying...

ATF border state multiple sales report analysis a prelude to national expansion

An even easier way to comment on the ATF's reporting requirement

Over at No Lawyers - Only Guns and Money is an even easier way to comment on the ATF's power grab/reporting requirement for long guns: A form letter generator. Fill in the blanks, modify the provided letter to your taste, and hit the send button. Let your friends and family know. If we can't do better than the Brady and Bloomberg minions, well....

Take a moment to let the ATF know your...

...opinion. Actually, that would be counter-productive in this matter. We need to be nice on this one. The comment period for the ATF's new regulation that would require FFL's on the Southwest border ends May 31. If you haven't commented yet you need to do so. John Richardson over at No Lawyers - Only Guns and Money has proved the necessary information to make the process simple. He provides the email address and two letters you can cut and paste or adapt to your needs. Your comment has to be in by May 31st so stop dawdling. I can guarantee you our opponents are doing their best to pack the results. Shouldn't happen. There are more of us than them. Get to it.

It seems to me that...

...these guys over at TSA have to much time on their hands. It also seesm to me that the TSA has money to waste in a time where no one but the government has money to waste. So maybe we should call our representatives and bitch. Maybe it will do some good.

H/T to Firehand.

The FCC is pushing to...

...regulate the Internet. The market seems to be handling that just fine. Congress and the courts agree. The FCC apparently doesn't. Maybe the Congress can disabuse them of that notion in the new year by, say, cutting their budget.
