Law of Self Defense
http://lawofselfdefense.com/
The Hawaiian Supreme Court has long had a tendency to rule as if Hawaii was still an independent nation-state, rather than one of the 50 United States, notably referring to the island’s “Aloha Spirit” as a reason it need not comply with the Constitution’s Second Amendment, no matter how the US Supreme Court rules on 2A matters.
Well, they’ve just transitioned from being impudent and insubordinate, to being utterly deranged in rebellion against SCOTUS authority.
In ruling on a criminal appeal involving now-questionable hair matching testimony offered in a 1989 sexual assault case that resulted in a 40-year sentence, the Hawaiian Supreme Court actually had an interesting legal question at hand.
Given that the questionable nature of the evidence was learned only 20 years after the conviction, and was believed by all to be reliable at the time offered, should this evidence be treated as “newly discovered”—in which case relief on appeal was unlikely given all the other cumulative evidence of guilt—or should it be treated as “false evidence” mandating a new trial?
Interesting stuff—and the Hawaiian Supreme Court ultimate chooses the second option and grants a new trial, although the appellants sentence was right on the verge of the end of his 40-year sentence.
That’s not the crazy part, however. The crazy part is that the Hawaiian Supreme Court spent nearly 10 pages of this opinion going completely off the rails of the facts and law of this appeal, and spending those pages absolutely EXCORIATING the US Supreme Court and its last several years of jurisprudence in particular and its commitment to originalism generally.
As far as the Hawaiian Supreme Court is concerned, SCOTUS is nothing but Right-wing Fascist trash, trash, trash, and they are not holding back in sharing their feelings on the matter.

NOTE: We mostly ended up covering Bessent's recent speech last week at the Reagan Library.
Yesterday the great and powerful Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely WRECKED House Democrats during a hearing of the House Ways & Means Committee.
And that was only day after he had done the same to Senate Democrats in a hearing of the Senate Finance committee.
What is best in life, Bessent the Barbarian? To crush your Democrats, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their gender confused!
Trump just shared with America all the winning his administration has already secured for the nation, as well as all the winning coming down the road.
Yesterday was Trump’s 12th publicly aired cabinet meeting, all in his first 14 months in office. This contrasts sharpy with a mere three that Biden held in the same time frame of his administration.
Join me as I break down the second half of this lengthy cabinet meeting and celebrate all the winning.

Judge O’Connor has ruled that Krottinger’s constitutional claims deserve to proceed, according to
In a detailed 19-page order issued July 19, 2026, the court DENIED the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss across the board. Even more critically, Judge O’Connor refused to grant qualified immunity to Luckie and Sheriff Deeds at this stage, finding that Krottinger plausibly alleged clear violations of clearly established constitutional rights.
Key highlights from the order:
No probable cause existed for the arrest. The satirical post lacked any “intent to defraud” required by the statute. Deception alone isn’t fraud, and the small-town audience plus the page’s satire disclaimer made it obvious this wasn’t serious. Citing cases like Bailey v. Iles and Texas precedent, the court said no reasonable officer could believe this was criminal.
The post was protected political satire under the First Amendment. Arresting someone for it is unconstitutional.

Fulton County ordered over 1,000,000 EXTRA ABSENTEE BALLOTS without STUBS or ENVELOPES for the 2020 Election and lied about it.
The total number of ballots ordered in addition to what was mailed to voters was 1,058,910. This should tell you everything you need to know.
Fulton County ordered 1,058,910 absentee ballots at the last minute, without envelopes, without stubs, and after they could have realistically been mailed. The "extra" ballots were not ordered for the reasons given, and what ballots from the order that remained
after the election were destroyed.
For reference, a total of 528,777 ballots were cast for
the 2020 General Election, and of those only approximately 148,000 were absentee. The majority of which were sent by Runbeck Election Services directly to the voter.
Because of the Absentee Fulfillment Program, there was simply no reason for Fulton County to purchase a large number of printed ballots.
Fulton County then tried to conceal the order and denied the existence of corresponding documents. In ...
OPTICS: Being large in stature, 6'3", broad and close to 300lbs, without intending to do so, just conversing and standing next to a friend or even my wife my hovering posture is often perceived as aggressive/intimidating. IMO rapidly advancing on a stranger with a brandished firearm or other weapon between parked cars in a public lot is not a commonplace congenial action. If I were to be observed rapidly advancing on a stranger brandishing a weapon the safe money would be on my intention to tackle that individual. It is generally not a good idea to advance upon an armed stranger but certain situations sometimes require decisive actions.
There are still open questions on this shooting incident but I am of the same opinion as Andrew.
