Good! AG Bondi Fires General Counsel From ATF, Gun-Rights Scholar Nabs Chief Post

In what could prove to be a momentous development, the new top lawyer at the ever-overreaching Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a Second Amendment proponent and scholar who clerked for the Supreme Court's foremost gun-rights advocate. "Good news from the DOJ today," said the National Association for Gun Rights. "This one could be HUGE."

The move came without any official publicity. Robert Leider's name and photo simply appeared on the ATF Leadership page last week, indicating he now holds the title of Assistant Director/Chief Counsel. Leider fills a vacancy created by Attorney General Pam Bondi's February firing of previous Chief Counsel Pamela Hicks.

At the time, Bondi told Fox News, "Yesterday I fired the general counsel from ATF. These people were targeting gun owners. Not gonna happen under this administration." Continuing to shake things up last month, Trump also made the unusual move of giving Kash Patel control of the ATF as well at the FBI.

Leider comes to his new role from an associate professor post at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. Earlier in his career, he clerked for Clarence Thomas when Thomas was a Seventh Circuit and then a Supreme Court justice. He has a blog encouragingly titled Standing His Ground, and has written about gun control, self-defense law and what he calls the "constitutional allocation of military power."

Leider's writing has also appeared at The Reload, a gun-rights-friendly outlet that provides detailed perspectives on developments in the realm of firearms law and related political developments. In a December essay there, Leider argued that gun-rights advocates should set aside fever dreams of a Trump-era dismantling of the ATF in favor of effecting desired regulatory reforms from inside an intact ATF:

Most regulations that burden gun owners and dealers come directly from federal firearms laws… Shutting down ATF would do nothing to relieve the legal restrictions imposed by federal gun-control laws. These restrictions stem directly from laws passed by Congress, and only Congress can change or eliminate them. Gun advocates are unlikely to find sixty votes in the Senate to repeal or reform most federal gun laws…If ATF did not exist, the Attorney General would either need to handle these functions personally or delegate the functions to another bureau.

While Leider's hiring hasn't been reported by major media, word is ricocheting around independent and social media, with gun-rights advocates expressing preliminary enthusiasm.

While I don't agree with the leftist commie 'judges' at all, I don't think we should set the very dangerous precedent of allowing any president to declare Americans "terrorists" and doing whatever they want. That does not make Americans free or sovereign in their own country. This is horrible to do to any American, no matter how much you disagree with them.

>>22812930

Does that mean Brits are allowed to own guns now?

>>22812947

I'm all for foreigners being deported like that, just not American citizens. If Americans commit crimes they belong in American prisons.

>>22812948

Imagine if Joe Biden could call anyone he wanted a "terrorist" and did the same to you.

>>22812893

Too bad no one cares to fight another senseless war, oy vey.

>>22812957

LOL that you can't handle some critical thinking. You are just as brainwashed and poisoned as those you hate.

I didn't vote for Trump just to suck his dick. I voted for him to protect free speech and Constitutional freedoms. If I think he is in the wrong, I'm not afraid to call it out.

EU Losing Soldiers & Recruits Over Ukraine Deployment Fears As Zelensky Defies Peace Talks

Departures from the Czech army have risen by 40% annually since 2022, according to the Novinky news outlet

The Czech army is losing a growing number of experienced soldiersover fears that they could be deployed to Ukraine, Defense Minister Jana Cernochova has claimed.

“For some people, the reason for leaving was the war in Ukraine,” Cernochova said, as cited by Novinky.

She added that some soldiers were unsettled by speculation about future military missions.“Because of the societal climate, when various observers have been threatening mobilization for years and soldiers will be sent to Ukraine, for some people that was the reason why they took off their uniform,” Cernochova argued.

According to Novinky, departures from the Czech army have risen by 40% annually since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. In 2024, 1,370 professional soldiers left the military. That figure was 1,200 in 2023 and 1,337 the year before. Prior to 2022, departures typically ranged from 800 to 1,000 annually.

As for Trump's plan to negotiate peace and put an end to this senseless war, Ukraine’s talks with the US ended in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They did not go well. At all.

The Deputy head of Zelensky's office, Palisa, refused to comment on the progress of the negotiations. He only said that the Ukrainian delegation would NOT meet with the Russian delegation in Riyadh.

Meanwhile, Zelensky himself is making the rounds via Social Media, and he seems to be saying all the WRONG things: https://x.com/amuse/status/1903767954191216937

This is precisely - exactly - what to say if he wants the war to CONTINUE!

Americans are more than ready to simply walk away, and it looks like most average Europeans are ready to walk away too. They don’t want to die in a manufactured war, and especially not in Ukraine. The country has lost more than a million soldiers to death or injury.

I've had to bailout a good friend of mine and pay his grocery bill one month, he did not have enough money to eat and was sinking deep into debt. Do help friends out when in need, if you can. When in time you are in need, they will remember that for life.

>>22813034

There will be a debt jubilee or a massive armed uprising of angry squatters taking possession of shelters they consider their homes and apartments and condos, I don't think it would end well. Plans for a complete debt jubilee could be on the table, could be the only thing to prevent anarchy.

>>22813042

I think a lot of people have become debt slaves living in an unfair system based on a giant ponzi scheme, and many are just trying to keep their heads above water, and are desperate to just survive, so they'll do what they can and take whatever they can just to get by. At least that's my observation. Don't blame the plebs, blame the ponzi schemers, central bankers, corrupt politicians & oligarchs, et al.

>>22813067

Agree, but I am one who believes we can manage to fix these problems, we just need to get rid of the ponzi scheme, and go back to having a sound currency backed by real value, and significantly limit governmental spending as much as possible, cutting taxes and reducing regulation. At least Trump is half way there, but we need to go back to sound currency as well.

>>22813106

Well I felt the need to, he is a good friend of mine, known him since high school years. Remains a very good friend today, we like to hnag out, shoot guns together, still drink, goof around, joke a lot and have fun times even today. You would not only be selfish but stupid to lose a good friend like that over a couple hundred bucks.

>>22813139

>>22813130

Good for them. We should be doing this.

True, America wasn't always communist.

European Central Bank Prints Satan On 50 EURO Notes

If you've ever thought to yourself that governments in Europe seem evil you need only look at their 50 EURO note to see you're right - they've incorporated "The Beast" (Satan) onto their 50 EURO Notes!

The 30 second video shows the facts: https://twitter.com/myhiddenvalue/status/1903701964057457026

This is no coincidence, it's deliberate. It seems the European Central Bank, which issues this currency, is making its loyalties known to everyone. It appears these people worship the Devil.

Why should Europe tolerate the continued existence of this banking entity or the trash they issue as currency?

It's little wonder they're trying to cause a nuclear World War III with Russia, it would be a sort of Human Blood Sacrifice to their Phony "God".

The Bankers who did this are human garbage. So are the politicians who approved it.
