My statement stands. To date, there is record of 1 bona fide Oath Keeper.

But alas, we couldn't.  It occurred to us that at THAT time he was working with some seasoned terrorists trying to figure out how to do great damage to it.

We are thankful for the 22nd amendment.

You Deserved It, Now Reap What You Sowed

Cliff's Notes version?  Sheriff Nick Finch, released a dude they caught carrying a pistol.  Reasoning?  Amendment II supersedes bad gun Laws.  Florida AG Pam Bondi (known enemy of We the People w/ scrubbed video), prosecuted, Sheriff Finch.  A jury (God bless 'em) told The State to go bag their duplicitous ass, and get the good Sheriff back on the job, of which, in an extraordinary prudent move, Gov. Scott immediately did just that.

For record, those who keep track, that makes for, Sheriff Nick Finch = 1 certified Oath Keeper.

Our elected 83 in Michigan?  For the most part, they suck eggs.  As noted here, and here on RightMichigan, they suck more so in Kalkaska.  Then there's this from The Blaze on Crawford County LEO thuggery.

Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson is renewing his call for Republicans and Democrats to narrow their selection to one candidate to avoid the cost of a special primary election to fill the term of former U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter.

Um, Brooks .. there is only one Democrat from Local 245 in the special election.  AND there was only one Republican that filed well in advance too, well, until the cabals write-in candidate and her endorsing former state legislator and current Livonia council president, undoubtedly squeezed that Livonia civics grapevine enlisting at least two other filers covering for write-in Nansee Crassis.

Patterson said Tuesday that both major political parties should hold a lottery to pick one Republican and one Democrat in order to avoid a special primary election Sept. 5.  
....

"This is about fiscal responsibility," Patterson said in an early morning statement. "If there is only one candidate from each party running, there is no need to spend tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on a special primary election.

"It's ridiculous to spend that amount of taxpayer dollars on a special primary election for just a couple weeks in office."

Fiscal responsibility?  Really?  Sorry bub, you tossed that meme out the window with pushing the DIA tax hike.

But, OK, Brooksie, have your handpicked crony, MBT author and Corporate welfare write-in candidate drop out first.

"Taxes go to projects that are worthy, whether we use them or not," Patterson said, noting that when he travels around the world to recruit business, he is always asked about schools, neighborhoods and cultural amenities. "The DIA is a huge opportunity for me to answer that question in a positive way. It's an economic development tool for me."

Or not?  Holy bejesus!  Why don't you have another cocktail, Brooksie?  You too, Nolan.

Gov. Rick Snyder called a special election after the Livonia congressman abruptly resigned, saying it was constitutionally required.

His administration now says it will cancel the $650,000 undertaking in suburban Detroit's 11th District if only one person -- or none -- decides to run.

Candidates have until July 20 to qualify for the ballot by collecting 1,000 valid signatures.

Republican Nancy Cassis of Novi said Friday on public television's "Off the Record" that she may withdraw to avoid a special election, if she's one of only two candidates. Kerry Bentivolio of Milford also plans to run on the GOP ticket.

But .. but .. but, Constitution?  Sure thing, Ricky GovernDRIC.  And, all I needed to see: Nancy Classless is still .. Classless.  Yannow, the MI-GOP really is more fugged up than Hogan's Goat.  Keep up the good work, Baghdad Bobby Schostak.

In closing arguments, Kacharik told jurors that the case was not about the Second Amendment or any of Combs' civil rights, but rather his interest in "showing off" an antique 1940s rifle his brother had given him for his 18th birthday.

"It was about choices, choices he made that night," she said. "He made a choice to conduct himself in a loud, boisterous manner when questioned by police.

"He wanted to open carry, because it is something he always wanted to do. He and his girlfriend spent an hour and a half walking around the downtown 'doing laps.' He was feeling good about himself and showing off to his  girlfriend."

She stressed that Combs was arrested only after he repeatedly refused to provide identification showing he was of legal age, at least 18, to be carrying a weapon. While Combs never pointed or threatened anyone with the weapon, he carried it in an "ostentatious" manner, she said, which is defined as brandishing in dictionaries.

"He was showing off," she told the jury. "He liked the attention. He wanted to shock people."

The two female Officers that were derelict in their duty are a disgrace, and I hope the young man sues the bejesus out of the City of Birmingham.  Their prosecutors obviously have a "pound of flesh" agenda that conflicts with Law, all based upon unnecessary hype created by their PD.
