New Illinois gun law 'literally begs for Supreme Court attention' - WND:

An Illinois law that would disqualify nearly all Americans from its concealed carry permit program soon could be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Second Amendment Foundation has asked the justices to hear the case Culp v. Raoul, which challenges the state's demand that those requesting concealed carry permit fall under the jurisdiction of its own review process – or another nearly identical.

Extinction Rebellion: Saving the Planet by Making You Late for Work

Extinction Rebellion: Saving the Planet by Making You Late for Work
"There's a lot to like about capitalism, but it has its downsides. 
For example, capitalism affords many, many people the leisure time to complain about... capitalism! It frees them up from scrabbling for survival, and gives them time to feel guilty about not having to scrabble for survival.
It encourages the development of institutions of higher learning, where young people can be indoctrinated in previously unknown disciplines like "climate justice." 
And it gives them the technology to broadcast their delusions to the entire globe. 
The result: the mass temper tantrum known as Extinction Rebellion.

It's been six months since those climate-change kiddies did anything dumb enough for me to mock. But as always, there's no better way to convince working people that you're serious about climate change than to interfere with their ability to make a living.

Marijuana breathalyzer test threatens to drag on high times | Fox Business:

The technology is (almost) here for a roadside breathalyzer test to check whether drivers are high on the drug, according to a report in the Sacramento Bee. It would be a revolutionary advance for law enforcement, since officers currently lack any reliable scientific method for doing so.
One of the companies pushing the technology forward is Hound Labs in Oakland, California. Research distributed via the Hound Foundation, created by company CEO Mike Lynn to promote awareness of marijuana-impaired driving, indicates the drug is five times more potent now than 50 years ago, and the odds of an auto accident triple after a driver smokes it.
With 15 million Americans annually getting “behind the wheel of a car within an hour after using marijuana,” the accident risk is a pressing public safety concern.
