U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- New Jersey's tyrannical Attorney General, Gurbir Grewal, is adding to his dubious list of anti-Second Amendment activism.  On 15 December 2020, Smith & Wesson sued Grewal, asking for relief, for using his office to violate the First Amendment, Second Amendment, as well as the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment protections of the U.S. Constitution.

Defense Distributed won a significant victory in September of 2020, with the Fifth Circuit agreeing Defense Distributed could sue AG Grewal in Texas. The case is ongoing and alleges Grewal violated Defense Distributed's First Amendment rights.

The Smith & Wesson lawsuit is about a subpoena issued on October 13, 2020, by Grewal, alleging fraud on the part of Smith & Wesson, for advertising with claims such as Smith & Wesson products are safe, or they enhance a person's lifestyle.

From the lawsuit:

1. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to free speech “no matter whether the government disagrees with that speech. Benjamin Franklin articulated it this way: “Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government . . . . When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved.”1 Indeed, governments throughout history have abused their power by punishing speech to suppress dissent and harm political opponents. 

2. Following in the abusive footsteps of these repressive regimes, the New Jersey Attorney General has taken a series of actions to suppress Smith & Wesson’s speech, and with the intention of damaging Smith & Wesson both financially and reputationally. The most recent such action is the issuance of an administrative subpoena (the “Subpoena”) on October 13, 2020 that allegedly seeks evidence of consumer fraud relating to advertising – but in reality, it seeks to Amendment agenda that the Attorney General publicly committed to pursue. 

3. The Subpoena presents no legitimate inquiry into any purported fraud, and instead targets mere opinions and other protected statements allegedly made by Smith & Wesson, such as (1) whether Smith & Wesson’s products are “safe,” make a home safer, or enhance one’s lifestyle; (2) whether an untrained consumer could successfully and effectively use a Smith & Wesson firearm for personal or home defense; and (3) whether private citizens should have the right to carry a concealed firearm. The only fraud here is the Attorney General’s abuse of his position to suppress a political viewpoint with which he disagrees.

Grewal is expanding one of the lines of attack against the Second Amendment pioneered in Connecticut, where private parties sued Bushmaster in an attempt to avoid the protections given by the United States Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).

The lawsuit was allowed to proceed because it claimed Bushmaster violated a broad and vague provision of Connecticut consumer law.  They claimed the lawsuit was valid, under the theory Remington had illegally marketed the rifle by “glorifying its use to civilians.” That appears to be a direct violation of Remington's First Amendment rights.

Gurbir Grewal is a Sikh, not a Muslim or Hindu.  He was born in New Jersey of Indian immigrant parents. Grewal seems to be ignorant about guns. He grew up in an extremely restrictive firearms environment.  New Jersey is one of six states which does not have protection for the right to keep and bear arms in its constitution. The other five without such a provision are California, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, and New York.

Grewal's foundational philosophy appears to be a form of progressivism. Progressivism detests the concept of the Second Amendment in its bones.

With the unwillingness of the Court to take on Second Amendment cases for 10 years, many Second Amendment supporters were hopeful the appointment of three originalists by the Trump administration would break the logjam.

Now, the same supporters are wondering if the Court will uphold the First Amendment, or nullify the First Amendment when it comes to Firearms.

STATEN ISLAND, NYC: Muslim murders his daughter for being too ‘Americanized’ and not wanting to wear hijab

Witless Western feminists now have an annual event, World Hijab Day, in which they don hijabs in order to show solidarity with Muslim women in the West who supposedly experience abuse for wearing the hijab, although a great many of these incidents have been found to have been faked by the alleged victims. The real victims of abuse over wearing the hijab are much more often girls and women who don’t wear it, such as Ola Salem.

Aqsa Parvez’s Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it. Amina Muse Ali was a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab. 40 women were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab. Alya Al-Safar’s Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain. Amira Osman Hamid faced whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab. An Egyptian girl, also named Amira, committed suicide after being brutalized by her family for refusing to wear the hijab. Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia were told they had to wear the hijab or be fired. Women in Chechnya were police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab. Other women in Chechnya were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab.

Elementary school teachers in Tunisia were threatened with death for not wearing hijab. Syrian schoolgirls were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab. Women in Gaza were forced by Hamas to wear hijab. Women in Iran protested against the regime by daring to take off their hijabs. Women in London were threatened with murder by Muslim thugs if they didn’t wear hijab. An anonymous young Muslim woman doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents. Fifteen girls in Saudi Arabia were killed when the religious police wouldn’t let them leave their burning school building because they had taken off their hijabs in their all-female environment. A girl in Italy had her head shaved by her mother for not wearing hijab.

Other women and girls have been killed or threatened, or live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab. But where are the feminists standing in solidarity with them?

“Staten Island fugitive arraigned, held without bail in Staten Island slay of Muslim activist daughter,” by Rocco Parascandola, New York Daily News, December 22, 2020:

A former Olympic boxer charged with the strangulation of his daughter — an activist for the rights of Muslim women — was arraigned on murder charges Tuesday and ordered held without bail, the Staten Island district attorney said.

Kabary Salem, 52, was extradited from Kuwait on Friday, ending a year-long manhunt that started shortly after his daughter, Ola Salem, 25, was found strangled in Bloomingdale Park, a 138-acre park on the South Shore of Staten Island, the morning of Oct. 24, 2019.

Salem fled the country, possibly spending time in Egypt, authorities said — and even tried to throw investigators off his trail by telling The New York Times his daughter had complained to him that she was being tailed by another car on the highway.

“I want to know what happened to her, what is the reason for that, but no one tells me,” he told the news outlet. “I am just waiting.

“She was a really good, beautiful girl.”

Kabary Salem was indicted by a grand jury Nov. 3 and charged with murder, manslaughter, concealment of a human corpse and strangulation….

It’s unclear what sparked the violence. The DA’s office wouldn’t comment on a report that the father wasn’t happy with the man his daughter was dating.A source who knew the daughter told the Daily News she was becoming more Westernized and didn’t want to wear her hijab.

“She was very outspoken,” the source said. “She wasn’t timid.”

“She was becoming Americanized,” the source said….

The suspect was a top boxer in Egypt and competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympics. His daughter also boxed and had dedicated her life to championing the rights of Muslim woman.

 

Dominion’s Security Chief Sues Trump Campaign & Others for Defamation

Dominion’s Security Chief Sues Trump Campaign & Others for Defamation

BY LUIS MIGUEL

Eric Coomer (shown), the security director of Dominion Voting Systems, has filed a defamation lawsuit against President Trump’s campaign, attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and several conservative media outlets and news personalities for allegedly making him the subject of death threats.

Coomer said he wants his life back after being named by the above entities as being involved in fraudulent activity in the 2020 election. His lawsuit, filed Tuesday in district court in Denver County, Colorado, also names Newsmax, One America News Network (OANN), the Gateway Pundit, columnist Michelle Malkin, and conservative activist Joseph Oltmann.

“I have been thrust into the public spotlight by people with political and financial agendas but, at heart, I am a private person,” Coomer said in a statement.

“While I intend to do everything I can to recapture my prior lifestyle, I have few illusions in this regard,” he said. “And so, today, I put my trust in the legal process, which has already exposed the truth of the 2020 presidential election.”

Coomer’s lawyers say their client has become “the face of false claims.” His name first gained public attention in a podcast by Oltmann during which he claimed to have heard an Antifa strategy call. When the prospect of a Trump victory was allegedly brought up during that call, Oltmann said a man identified as “Eric from Dominion” supposedly assured the rest of the call’s participants: “Don’t worry about the election, Trump is not going to win. I made … sure of that.”

In an opinion piece for the Denver Post, Coomer wrote that he has no connections to Antifa, was never on any call and the idea that there is some recording of him is “wholly fabricated.”

Wrote Coomer:

Still, with these assurances and facts that are readily available to all of us, uninformed and unscrupulous individuals upset by the outcome of a free and fair election have launched a smear campaign to discredit the professional and diligent work performed by me, the company I work for, and the thousands of election workers who worked overtime during a pandemic putting our health and safety at risk to ensure the votes were counted accurately, securely, and transparently.

Oltmann also claimed that Coomer made anti-Trump comments on Facebook; Coomer’s lawsuit acknowledged that he did, but said his private Facebook account is now inactive.

Oltmann’s accusations gained traction after he was interviewed by Michelle Malkin and the Gateway Pundit. Eric Trump tweeted about them and OANN reported on them. Powell, meanwhile, said at a news conference that Coomer’s “social media is filled with hatred” towards

At a news conference, Giuliani called Coomer “a vicious, vicious man. He wrote horrible things about the president…. He is completely warped.”

The New American has reported on the Democrat leanings of Dominion employees. According to Federal Elections Commission data, the company is heavily staffed by Democrat donors. Of 96 political donations to national campaigns that came from individuals who listed their employer as “Dominion Voting” or “Dominion Voting Systems,” 92 (95.8 percent) went to Democrats.

The roles of the employees who donated spanned everything from set-up to tabulation, including software developers, network engineers, software production specialists, and implementation managers. The primary method through which the Democratic-leaning employees contributed was through ActBlue.

The total of Dominion donations to Democrat candidates and causes is $1,154.90.

By contrast, only four donations, which totaled $86.25, went to Republican candidates over a six-year period.

In addition, Dominion has employed various Democratic party-linked lobbyists to assist on issues such as “monitor[ing] federal legislation” and “issues related to election security.” Among them is one of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) chiefs of staff and Brian McKeon, who worked as a “voter protection director” for Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.

OANN has highlighted the fact that Dominion has ties to the Clinton Foundation. 

Penelope Chester-Starr is Dominion’s communications manager. Before assuming that role, she worked for the Clinton Growth Initiative and was vice president for Teneo, the firm created to help manage Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foreign businesses and which booked their personal speaking engagements. Chester-Starr also helped organize a 2017 Women’s March protesting President Trump. 

Can Americans trust the assurances of a company whose employees are so clearly invested in President Trump’s defeat?

 

The Abominable “America Last” Porkulus Bill~Money for Everything & everybody except the American people

The Abominable “America Last” Porkulus

BY MICHELLE MALKIN

This country is not governed by a “Republican Party” and a “Democratic Party.” It is governed by an establishment “uniparty” that betrays our citizens at every turn. Exhibit A: The joint annual ritual of fiscal vulgarity known as the omnibus spending bill.

While Americans are distracted with the holidays, Beltway crapweasels stuff their legislative Christmas trees with multibillion-dollar goodies for every special interest except the American people. I’ve reported with depressing regularity over the past quarter-century on how these pork-laden monstrosities get rammed through Congress, unread, with little scrutiny or outrage. But finally, light bulbs are going off.

The juxtaposition of measly COVID-19 relief for U.S. citizens against the backdrop of lavish aid for illegal immigrants, the military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, overseas social justice warriors, nongovernmental organizations and foreign countries is just too brazen to ignore. Americans will receive $600 COVID-19 relief checks and $300 unemployment payments as part of the consolidated federal government funding package. The $900 billion in COVID-related aid is folded into the massive, 5,600-page legislation encompassing 12 fiscal 2021 spending bills worth $1.4 trillion.

The puny pandemic stimulus for we the people is a pittance compared with these giveaways buried in the abominable “America last” porkulus:

— 15.4 million illegal immigrant family members are now eligible for stimulus checks and can also now receive retroactive payments worth up to $1,800.
— The amnesty program for thousands of Liberians who’ve lived and worked here unlawfully since 2014 has been extended for another year.
— Untold numbers of illegal immigrants who claim to live with “unaccompanied minors” smuggled across the border will now enjoy a new shield from deportation.
— While funding support for the detention and removal of illegal immigrants by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has been slashed by $431 million, open borders nonprofits are rejoicing over new funding for catch-and-release pilot programs that will keep deportable illegal immigrants out of federal custody.
— $500 million to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama to “address key factors that contribute to the migration of unaccompanied, undocumented minors to the United States.”
— $461 million to Colombia for drug control and “human rights” programs.
— $75 million to the “Caribbean Basin Security Initiative.”
— $33 million “for democracy programs for Venezuela.”
— $1.65 billion to Jordan for “foreign military financing” and other assistance.
— $700 million in economic aid to Sudan for “global health” and “transition.”
— $40 million to Syria for economic support, drug control and law enforcement, and emergency medical and rescue response.
— At least $25 million for “democracy” and “gender programs” in Pakistan.
— “Not less than” $135 million for drug control and law enforcement assistance in Burma.
— “Not less than” $85.5 million to Cambodia.
— $130 million to Nepal for “development” and “democracy” programs.
— $1.3 billion to Egypt for “economic support” and “higher education.”
— $453 million to Ukraine.
— $241 million for Tunisia.
— $15 million to refurbish a patrol boat in Sri Lanka.
— $170 million to Vietnam, including $19 million to clean up dioxins.
— $200 million to Bangladesh, including $23.5 million to support Burmese refugees and $23.3 million for “democracy programs.”
— $132 million “for assistance for Georgia.”
— “Not less than” $1.5 billion for implementation of Indo-Pacific Strategy and the Asia Reassurance Initiative.

Then there’s Israel, which raked in $500 million in military aid, plus $250 million to invest in “people to people” exchanges among Palestinians, Israelis and Americans, $5 million for refugee resettlement, $2 million for cooperative COVID-19 health research, $2 million for “sustainability” research, $4 million for the U.S.-Israel Center of Excellence in Energy and Water, $2 million for cooperative energy programs, $2 million for U.S.-Israel “border security” programs and $2 million for “strategic dialogue” among the U.S., Israel, Greece and Cyprus.

This half-billion-dollar gift to Israel, one of the world’s wealthiest nations with universal health care and highly subsidized higher education, comes on top of the $3.8 billion in foreign aid already allocated to the country this month through the National Defense Authorization Act — which also included $3.3 billion for security assistance, $500 million for missile defense, $47.5 million for “anti-tunnel technology” and $25 million for anti-drone aerial systems thousands of miles away to protect them. Not us.

What about our borders? What about our domestic peace? What about our health? What about our sustainability? What about our schools? What about our small businesses? What about our human rights?

Americans who dare ask these questions are viciously attacked by the uniparty gatekeepers and globalist water-carriers as “xenophobic,” “racist” and “anti-Semitic.” We’ve had enough. A manufactured public health crisis, post-George Floyd anarchotyranny, and the wholesale hijacking of our election system are pushing citizens to the brink of revolt.

In such times, and at all times, any self-respecting sovereign nation must put its people first. If you don’t demand leaders who represent your interests, you deserve the serial abusers you elect, embolden and empower.

Oregon Doctor’s License Suspended for Attending Trump Rally

BY JEFF REYNOLDS

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/jeff-reynolds/2020/12/22/i-have-3000-patients-who-have-been-abandoned-by-the-oregon-medical-board-doctor-speaks-out-after-license-suspended-for-attending-trump-rally-n1225556;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Dr. Steve LaTulippe is a family physician in Dallas, Ore., who specializes in pain management that bypasses reliance on opioids. He has practiced family medicine at his small-town clinic for over 20 years with what he describes as a spotless record with the Oregon Medical Board. So it came as quite a shock to him when the medical board suspended his license to practice medicine over a viral video of his speech at a Stop the Steal rally on November 7. Now, Dr. LaTulippe is sounding the alarm over the consequences of exercising his First Amendment rights, and how politics has led him to be targeted by the government and the medical establishment.

In an exclusive interview with PJ Media, Dr. LaTulippe revealed how the Oregon Medical Board compiled false information on him over a period of several months, but only after the video of his speech went viral did they shut down his medical practice, calling it an imminent danger to the public. “I was not only censored, but I had my livelihood taken away from me because of attending a Trump rally,” he said. “I have 3,000 patients who have been abandoned by the Oregon Medical Board.”

In a speech, LaTulippe said he wanted to debunk “COVID mania.” He said that he never shut down his practice, and neither he nor his staff ever wore a mask in his clinic:

He went on to say the response to COVID-19 was insanity, and only intended to shut down the American people. “Take off the mask of shame,” he says, “it is designed to control you and shut you down.”

LaTulippe told PJ Media the letter announcing the suspension of his license didn’t cite a single medical reason. “I did practice my usual flu and cold season protocol,” he said, “and it is very, very effective. I had absolutely not a single problem with infectivity. None of my staff or I became sick. None of my patients became sick.” He says if patients showed coronavirus symptoms, the staff would schedule them for the end of the day to avoid infecting other patients. They thoroughly disinfected the clinic at the end of every day. He insists that not a single case of COVID-19 transmission has been traced to his clinic.

For that, the medical board suspended his license.

Dr. LaTulippe also criticized the standard treatment of COVID-19, saying that in most cases, early steroid treatment works. “Let me tell you that not only do I have a perfect record as far as preventing the spread and co-infections in my office with viruses in general,” he told PJ Media, “but also I have a hundred percent perfect treatment record with early treatment with my protocol. I would call them the next day or two and say how are you doing and they would all tell me universally ‘I’m drastically better.'” He says pulse-dosing steroid treatment works to drastically hasten the recovery from the respiratory symptoms of coronavirus.

In the interview, Dr. LaTulippe also included his attorney, Mariah Gondeiro, to address their legal strategies. She said they will go to federal court to halt the suspension of his license. “We’re going to be seeking a temporary restraining order in federal court seeking the board to reinstate his license until an actual hearing can be conducted,” Gondeiro said. “The board claims that they couldn’t have a typical process for him, where he gets an opportunity to object and challenge the allegations, which is necessary in this case because many of the allegations are just completely false. They claim that they couldn’t go through that normal process because his actions were posing an imminent threat to the community.”

That’s right, Dr. LaTulippe was denied due process by the licensing board because what he said was an “imminent danger to the public.”

Oregon Business Owners: State Officials Know Lockdowns Do Not Slow the Spread of Coronavirus, But They’re Doing Them Anyway

“I just want to make this point because this is really important,” Gondeiro said. “They say that he is posing an imminent, irreparable harm to the community, but the real harm is to him and his clients. They have taken away his livelihood for a month, two, maybe three months. He’s going to have to find another way to provide for his family. And he is the only pain and addiction expert in his community. This is the worst possible time to take away someone’s license, in the middle of a pandemic. Someone who is treating those who are in complete agony, who are experiencing high levels of anxiety and depression. It’s just evil and cruel to take away his license when so many people rely on him.”

Gondeiro also questioned the process by which the Oregon Medical Board declared his medical practice an imminent danger to the public. “I think this is political,” she said. “If you see the report, that’s what it appears to be, because they had information about Dr. LaTulippe in July. They had information from a client who said that Dr. LaTulippe told him he couldn’t wear a mask, which was false. But they also knew how the doctor was having a different protocol. So if this was really an emergency, they could have filed something five months ago. It was after he attended the Trump rally that they retaliated against him.”

Check out the entire interview at the “Behind the Curtain” podcast at this link. It’s absolutely amazing what the powers that be are doing to bypass constitutional rights to self-expression in the name of the pandemic.
