JERSEYVILLE –Jersey County has joined a list of about 80 Illinois counties where sheriff’s and other law enforcement officials have said they will not enforce provisions of the state’s new weapons ban. On Thursday afternoon newly-elected Jersey County Sheriff Nicholas Manns posted a letter on the department’s Facebook page detailing why he and Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten will not be participating in the enforcement of HB 5471.The law bans the sale and possession of “assault weapons” and accessories such as large-capacity magazines, as well as .50 caliber rifles and ammunition. The banned weapons include some specifically names, and others by technical definitions.  CORRECTIONS*

Comments:

The MSM is trying to bury this story. Out of 102 counties over 90 Sheriffs have stated in writing that the new law is unconstitutional and they will not enforce it. Only three counties have said they will enforce it, one of those being Cook County which already had a ban in place.

99% of all gun related murders in Illinois are caused by thugs with stolen handguns, so maybe Ptitzker should have made thugs illegal.

Boulder County, Colorado imposed an assault weapons ban a few years ago. There is a grandfather provision. Owners were required to bring “assault weapons” to a law enforcement office to receive a certificate. Compliance was very low.

These bans are unconstitutional, and when they are reviewed by the federal courts, will be struck down. The standards which will be required to judge these cases was laid out clearly in the recent Bruen case by the Supreme Court. This was basically that there must be some historical precedent for any restrictions. And there were no guns banned in the early days of our country. These gun bans will not withstand legal challenge. It will take some time to bring proper cases, and get them adjudicated, but the results will be these gun bans and magazine bans, etc will be found to be illegal.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) suggested Thursday that someone might have planted caches of classified documents at President Joe Biden’s private residence and former academic office in an effort to frame him. Fox News’ Hillary Vaughn (via Chad Pergram) reported The remark came as news broke Thursday of a second cache of classified documents that his attorneys found at his garage — next to his prized Corvette — after a first cache was found Nov. 2, 2022 at the Penn Biden Center. A third cache — consisting of one document — was also found during Biden’s attorneys’ search, Fox News reported.

The Canadian Girl Scouts have dropped the name Brownie in favor of Embers after the term was deemed 'racist' and 'offended' some of its members.  The name change was announced by Girl Guides of Canada on Wednesday to create a more inclusive space for the seven and eight-year-old girls branch, according to a news release by Girl Guides. 'With this new name we're showing girls that what they say matters, and that Girl Guides is a place for everyone to belong,' according to a tweet Girl Guides posted.  Girl Guides of Canada said they decided to change the name of their branch in November after current and former members claimed

​Then-President Donald Trump discussed dropping a nuclear bomb on North Korea and pinning the blame on another country during closed-door meetings in 2017, according to a new edition of a book about the 45th president’s administration. Trump’s scheme — amid his tense standoff with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un over Pyongyang’s missile tests and aggressive threats to target the US mainland — alarmed then-White House chief of staff John Kelly, according to an added afterword to “Donald Trump v. the United States,” written by New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt. The tome, initially published in September 2020,
Recruitment crisis forces Army to expand
boot camp, preparing flabby future soldiers

The United States Army took a serious hit to recruitment last year, something they’re trying to come back from by expanding a program to prepare out-of-shape applicants for basic training. As the world stares down Russian and Chinese aggression, military preparedness is at the forefront of the country’s mind. Unfortunately, 2022 saw the Army fail to meet its 60,000 soldier enlistment goal by a shocking 15,000. In an effort to bolster its numbers, top brass announced the expansion of the Future Soldier Preparatory Course, a boot camp for out-of-shape recruits who want to meet the fitness requirements maintained by the military.
'The View' Goes off Into Loony Conspiracy
Land Over the Biden Classified Docs

The ladies on “The View” were in typical form on Thursday as they whined about how inconvenient the burgeoning Biden classified documents scandal was interfering in their hoped for efforts to somehow get President Donald Trump. In the process, they implied that somehow the documents may have been planted. (Video) “You know what I think? I’ve never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump. Just as we’re this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!” Joy Behar complained. That in itself is so delusional on so many levels. That she thinks like so many Trump Derangement Syndrome folks that this time they’ve finally got him.

A third batch of classified documents was found at President Biden's residence in Wilmington, Delaware, the president's attorneys announced Saturday. Special counsel to the president Richard Sauber disclosed in a statement that five additional pages of documents with classified markings were found at Biden's home Thursday evening, making a total of six classified documents retrieved from there. Sauber explained that when Biden's personal attorneys identified one classified document at Biden's home on Wednesday, they "immediately" stopped searching for additional documents because they lacked the security clearances necessary to view those materials.
Supreme Court investigators have narrowed
leak probe down to a small group of suspects

I was thinking yesterday that we haven’t heard much about this recently. Today the Wall Street Journal reports there has been some progress in narrowing down the list of suspects but still no definitive conclusion. A day after the draft opinion was published last year by Politico, Chief Justice John Roberts assigned the Supreme Court’s marshal, Gail Curley, to investigate the leak. The court has released no information regarding the investigation since then. Little has emerged elsewhere, apart from a demand from investigators in June that justices’ law clerks sit for interviews and surrender their cellphones, prompting several of the three-dozen clerks serving in May

With staff picks like Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre, you have to hand it to the mush-mouthed and increasingly senescent President Joe Biden for knowing exactly whom to hire to make himself look like the smartest person in the room. Just ask him; he’ll tell you how smart he is. Actually, on a good day, you don’t even have to ask him. He does tend to go on (and on) about his mostly imaginary accomplishments and prowess. PJ Media’s own Ben Bartee already had fun with KJP’s latest (and most revealing) bout of chronic verbal diarrhea. On Thursday, the White House Spokesmodel got tripped up when
Treasury Secretary Says U.S. Will Hit

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. will hit its debt limit on January 19, at which point the Treasury Department will take “extraordinary measures” to avoid default. She called on Congress to raise the debt ceiling as soon as possible, with the government on track to max out on its $31.4 trillion borrowing authority next week. Without intervention, the government could be left unable to pay its bills by June. “It is unlikely that cash and extraordinary measures will be exhausted before early June,” she wrote in a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) Extraordinary measures include delaying some payments, including contributions to federal employees’ retirement plans, to free

In one of their final acts in power, House Democrats secretly passed through a rule change that will see lawmakers in the lower chamber get a $34,000 pay raise.  The new rule, proposed by Democrats on the House Administration Committee, allows House members to be reimbursed for the cost of lodging, food and travel while on official business in Washington DC. It was tucked into the House's internal rules, rather than in annual spending bills, and therefore was not debated on the House floor, according to the New York Times.
