By The Numbers

February 15, 2024 Sheila Stokes Leave a comment

There have been a couple of high profile stories in the news lately, and this is going to be at least a two topic column, but I feel they tie together.

Topic one, law-enforcement. Recently there was a horrifying incident of two NYC police officers attacked by illegal invaders. Cops allegedly beaten by rowdy migrant mob near Times Square — with suspects later freed without bail This is bad enough as it is, but what did “tough” New Yorkers do? Um, nothing, they filmed it at most. I guess to an extent I get it, if the illegal invaders are willing to attack armed officers any citizen stepping in is really taking a risk, but how many native born Americans were in the area? Honestly, I don’t know. But were they not concerned when the invaders got done with the cops they might not start on them? Or are they saving that for later. Alvin Bragg turned them loose without bail, so I’m sure they’re quaking in their American paid for Nikes, just do it. Gov Hokum is now trying to talk tough, but I think the only ones that believe her are as brain dead as Beijing Biden.

Contrast that with the recent horrific shooting at the KC Chiefs victory parade near Union Station. There are 3 suspects, at least two are juveniles. Um, I don’t think juveniles can buy guns in Missouri. Could be wrong, but don’t believe I am. A radio show host opined chances on them being products of the great society. No dads in the home. I did see a photo of one man handcuffed and it was no juvie. Add to that the difference in response to the shooting, apparently by-standers saw one of the attackers and started yelling get him as he ran through the running crowd trying to escape the mayhem. Two men, not cops, real men, unlike New Yorkers, tackled him and brought him down and held him for cops. A gun flew out of his jacket or hand and the wife of one of the men scooped it up.

Hero Dad Who Tackled a Suspect in Chiefs Parade Shooting Speaks Out: I Heard ‘Get Him’

Chiefs fan filmed tackling possible mass shooting suspect says ‘I had the perfect angle’

Stories on each of the two men.

But in those stories, neither man mentions tackling a juvenile. Interesting no?

The response from the Obiden junta was to trot Dementia Biden out to call for an assault weapons ban. The response from Travis Pfizer-Swift was to call for more gun control. I’m kind of guessing he’s more out of touch with his base than his main squeeze is hers. But hey, it’s KC, a blue city, so maybe not. But Mr. Pfizer-Swift recently showed his great courage and athletic prowess at the superbowl by attacking an elderly walrus. An elderly walrus who was trying to comfort people at the mass casualty. Unlike Mr. Pfizer-Swift.

Also good in KC, the massive amount of cops present for the parade ran towards the mayhem, unlike say Uvalde…or Parkland FL.

So I would say the “caliber” of people hired to be police matters. Except of course in Colorado. Where they are now hiring illegal invaders to be police and fire department. Oh no, I can’t make this up.

Denver could allow noncitizens to be police officers and firefighters

Aurora Police, Fire Departments Now Hiring Non-Citizens

So soon, if you live in a blue state, because like all really terrible ideas on the left, this will spread, law-abiding citizens can be arrested by illegal invaders. Arrested for what you ask? I dunno, “hate speech” against illegal invasion?

So, you know who would be really “great” for those jobs? The Chinese nationals streaming across our southern border! Twenty thousand since the start of fiscal year 2024. Why, they’re in great shape already, they have great shooting skills and I listened to a clip of Gordon Chang talking about the Chinese nationals crossing Border Czar Kamela’s southern border. At the end of January he said several of them in more than one location have been spotted 3 weeks after crossing the border taking target practice with sniper rifles and pistols. He said normally when people cross the border they are thinking “where do I live” “where does my next meal come from” they don’t work on their shooting skills unless the reason they are here………I wanna know how they got sniper rifles and pistols. What kind of President would allow this? Oh the one that has had even more millions pour in the Xiden center! Even more than before! I wonder if he threw in the spy balloon oversight for free? And yes, The House Impeached Mayorkas—What’s Next? I maintain he needs to be stripped of his pension.

So, what else can illegals do besides be police and firemen? Why, they can vote!

How did they get here? We paid for it. Are paying for it. Will continue to pay for it.

Who’s Funding Illegal Immigration? You Are.

‘Cash in Envelopes’: How the US and UN Are Funding the Border Crisis

Get U.S. out of the UN!!!

I listened to a Patrick Bet-David podcast the other day, you can start here if you want the part I’m referring to, or listen to the whole thing. The topic at this point is immigration. They had been talking about the response of the Demoncrat party supporting hamass, that many Jews like many blacks are waking up to the realization that the Demoncrat party is not their friend. They are friends of the illegal invaders. But one of the co-hosts, Vinny brought up it may not matter. He had them put up this map.

The states in light grey require no ID to vote, the next darkest shade of grey is ID but no photo required. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the Presidency. If you add those two categories of no ID required and ID with no photo you get 217 electoral votes……no wonder the illegals at the border say they’re voting for Xiden. They may well be. And as Adam pointed out, what do they know about our culture? Our laws? Our issues? Nothing, they’ll just vote Xiden because he is a “good” man.

And that my friends, is why the Demoncrats feel safe to keep robbing U.S. to send hush money to Ukraine. They aren’t worried about elections and they have imported an army to be ready.

Uninformed “Whistleblowers”

January 31, 2024 Carl Bussjaeger 1 Comment

I spotted an odd headline today.

Biden Administration Preparing to Ban Private Gun Sales: Whistleblowers
President Joe Biden’s administration has drafted a document that would effectively ban private gun sales by requiring background checks for all transactions, even those made between private citizens, according to a whistleblower group.

That would be Empower Oversight, more of a whistleblower support organization. But why we need “whistleblowers” to tell us that the ATF is sneaking around to change the rules is odd…

Since they published the Notice of Proposed Rule-Making last year. You commented on it, right? Maybe your comments even got posted. Maybe.

What Empower Oversight did was send a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland about those devious miscreants at the ATF.

The draft rule received immense comment and was interpreted by many to require that any private citizen who sells even a single firearm online might be required to register as an FFL…

Yep. I certainly did. Because it would.

This proposed rule, essentially requiring any person, selling a single firearm to pay bills, to first obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL), is blatantly unconstitutional. It also would not work as advertised, and would even be counter-productive.

But back to EO’s letter.

…despite clear language in law since 1986 that the term “engaged in the business” of selling firearms “shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms,”

They are referring to the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986. And yes, that language was there. But they missed the bit in the so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 that The Zelman Partisans warned you about.

When we heard that these senate scum would “clarify” what it means to be in the “business” of selling firearms — requiring an FFL — I hoped, but didn’t actually expect, that they might finally set a threshold for number of sales in a defined time period. That isn’t what we’ve gotten.

Instead, they changed the definition from “with the principal objective of livelihood and profit” to “predominantly earn a profit”.

No longer would you need to be selling enough guns to make a living. Just a single sale, if your intent is to make money, suffices to require a Federal Firearms License. There is no exception for sales to friends or family. There is no exception for sales to pay off medical bills.

They legislatively changed the old 1986 definition. The ATF’s rule is “merely” implementing the law.

Perhaps Empower Oversight should assign someone to watch TZP for updates like that.

Unexpected Allies and Well Known Enemies

January 30, 2024 Sheila Stokes Leave a comment

Let’s do the enemies first, and I’m guessing there will be no surprises as to whom they might be, but some of the actions might not be as well known. Gosh I don’t know why major media outlets aka #FakeNews are laying off people left and right…/sarcasm font.

While many nations around the world have stopped funding the antisemitic, anti-Israel UNRWA the Obiden crime junta actually has not. I list both, because one should remember, the goal of hamass is to kill Jews the world over, not just in Israel.

More Countries Suspend Aid To UNRWA After Allegations Employees Aided Attack On Israel

The United Kingdom and several other countries announced Saturday that they were suspending funding to the United Nations’ Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) after allegations that staff may have participated in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Canada and the United States announced Friday that in the wake of the allegations they would temporarily pause funding to the agency, with the State Department saying that it was “extremely troubled by the allegations.” The U.K., Italy and Austria also followed suit this weekend and suspended their aid indefinitely, according to NBC News.

But not the terrorist funding Obiden junta, oh no. See, words don’t mean the same thing on the left as they do to normal people.

There’s a Major Catch to Biden’s ‘Pause’ on U.S. Aid to UNRWA After Terrorism Scandal

Similarly, you may have read that the Biden administration has frozen funds to UNRWA, the United Nations operation in Gaza, after explosive and credible allegations emerged that a dozen UNRWA employees were directly involved in the planning and execution of the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians. The Trump administration stopped funding this deeply corrupt organization back in 2018, then Biden quickly restored the money upon taking office. Now that this move has blown up in his face, Biden has belatedly and apparently temporarily stopped the cash flow to UNRWA. But as we saw with the Houthis climbdown, there’s a catch:

Wow.@JerylBier discovered that the State Department saying they were pausing funding to UNRWA only applies to new commitments. They plan to continue to use US taxpayer money to fund current projects despite evidence of the group abetting terrorism. https://t.co/zXIfqouXVV

— AG (@AGHamilton29) January 28, 2024

On Friday, in response to allegations that employees of the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) had been involved in Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, the State Department announced that it had “temporarily paused additional funding” for the United Nations agency. The funding pause, however, applies only to new and additional funding, not funding already obligated before the pause went into effect on Wednesday, a State Department spokesperson told Pluribus. When asked for details on what obligations would and would not be affected by the pause, the spokesperson directed Pluribus to a fact sheet released by the State Department on January 16, 2024…The fact sheet reports that funding already committed or obligated to the UNRWA for fiscal 2024 for work in the West Bank and Gaza totaled $51 million as of January 16. Although the State Department did not directly answer questions about the amounts or the timing involved in distribution of funds, the spokesperson stated that “we are pausing any new or additional funding. Contributions to UNRWA that were not obligated as of January 24 are suspended, contributions to UNRWA obligated prior to this date remain in effect.”

Huh, color me shocked. It’s like the Obiden junta supports terrorism for both hamass and the Houthis…Course, it’s only money…taxpayer money, it’s not like it’s coming from the Biden crime family or anything.

Let’s have a closer look at UNRWA, there’s a video at the end of the source post as well.

1. UNRWA is a jihadist terror cult. For 70 years, it’s indoctrinated youth to hate, kill, and be disposable pawns in a battle to destroy Israel and beyond.

2. Thousands of it’s staff took part in or supported Oct 7th atrocities. This is a direct result of the billions in “aid” it spent on hate indoctrination and militarizing Gaza.

3. Instead of resettling its refugees, UNRWA forces them and all their descendants to be refugees forever. It indoctrinates kids to believe they must destroy Israel to ever have a home.

4. This perpetual refugee status is unprecedented and different than how all other refugees are treated – including the 100 million aided by UNHCR, the UN’s main refugee agency.

5. Israel is 0.3% of the Middle-East and is here to stay. The UNRWA jihad fantasy must end now. The rest of the region (10,000,000+ sq miles) should welcome its brethren.

6. In the past century, there were 1,000,000+ Jewish refugees from Arab countries. None are now seen as “refugees” or to have a “right to return”. They’ve all resettled in Israel or other countries.

7. Israel grants all Jews a “Law of Return” to their indigenous homeland. Most Arabs in Israeli territories came from Egypt or Jordan, which should offer them similar rights.

8. Funding UNRWA destroys the lives of Arab children who become indoctrinated with hate and violence for life. It destroys the societies where it operates, and brings forever conflicts to the region.

9. UNRWA is irredeemable. It’s aided and abetted the worst ideologies and atrocities for decades. Both Hamas and UNRWA must be eliminated for there to be a chance at real peace and stability.

Lousy organization correct? Not people you’d trust or want to be associated with, correct? Oh but if you’re the Obiden junta, they’re just the people you want.

I’m sure all Americans will be as safe with the NSC director as the Israelis were with Maher Bitar at UNRWA. Sure of it…..

https://twitter.com/i/status/1743450902755770497

But the threats to innocent Israelis comes not only from Gaza, but from Judea and Shomron (Samaria) as well as the arabs there are pining to have hamass move in and “govern” them as well. No, not for the elevated standard of living they brought to Gaza, but because their charter is all about killing Jews.

So America will help her ally, correct? There is a real threat in Judea and Shomron to the people living there.

The Palestinian Authority’s stealth attempt to take over Judea and Samaria. Believe me when I say the P.A. are not the peace partners the MSM aka #FakeNews pretends they are.

Diligently following a master plan worked out over 10 years ago, the Palestinian Authority is laying claim to large tracts of Israeli state land through illegal building. Resembling Potemkin villages, many structures stand empty, hollow, windowless, alone or clumped together. The land grab has been hugely successful because Israeli countermeasures have been so feeble, Jews living in the area tell JNS.

So the Jews living there need to be well armed to defend themselves and their towns. And the Obiden junta’s response?

Judea and Samaria leaders outraged as US sets conditions on rifle sales

Jerusalem reportedly “assured” the U.S. that 24,000 rifles destined for Israel would not go to volunteer defense forces in Judea and Samaria.

Biden Suspends Sale of 20K Rifles to ‘Violent Settlers’ following General Yehuda Fox’s ‘Secret Report’ <May he rot>

The Biden administration is once again holding up licenses for selling more than 20,000 US-made M16 rifles to Israel on the charge that they would be distributed to “violent extremist” settlers, Axios reported Wednesday night.

….

The sale is crucial not only to the settlers, who are only scantily armed and whose able-bodied men are serving, and dying, in Gaza. Israeli communities inside the Green Line, in the south, the north, but mostly in the center, are still vulnerable to terrorist attacks and deploy local standby response teams made up of local residents. They receive their weapons and training from the Police, and their need far outweighs the supply.

US said to delay shipment of weapons for security squads due to Ben Gvir’s conduct

The left, in Israel and America despise Ben Gvir, he loves Israel and Israelis! Oh shock! Oh horror of horrors!! He’s handing out rifles to people in Judea and Samaria!

I heard a great definition of “settler violence” recently. I think it’s a lot like “gun violence”. If a settler is walking down a road and sees an arab stealing a sheep and the Jew throws a rock at the thief, that’s “settler violence”. If the Jewish farmer (settler) is walking down the road and sees an arab stealing a sheep and the arab throws rocks at the Jewish farmer that is also “settler violence”. See how that works? In America if a concealed carry holder shoots the criminal that was trying to kidnap or assault them, that too is “gun violence”.

But, now onto the nicer part. Sometimes there are allies, people of moral courage that speak out when most of their industry has viciously attacked Israel. One such person is an actor, hopefully he still is anyway. He’s an American actor, Mark Pellegrino. ‘The rational people in the world support you’ | Actor’s message for the people of Israel

And honestly, there aren’t as many of those as one would have hoped….but coming from a Hollyweird actors, that took some courage.

‘You are fighting against forces of regression, that are anti-modernity, anti-western civilization, that are determined to throw back society to medieval times.’

Now this one will be a shocker, John Fetterman! The terrorist, murdering and raping supporters of hamass showed up apparently at Fetterman’s abode and started in with their indoctrinated chant. Fetterman (a non-Jewish member of the DNC) responded by going out on the roof of the building and waving the Israeli flag. I. AM. IN. SHOCK!! This required an extra cup of coffee to revive me.

And lastly, this very moving song comes from the group Five For Fighting, it’s called “OK”. This is not a Jewish group, this is a group that looked around at the moral decay that has been exposed in America by the acts of October 7^th and those around the world following it. October 7^th ripped the masks off many many things, and it has become a time for choosing. Apparently this member of the music industry sees things are not “ok”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJXo2Gn-ww

Post Office Gun Ban Struck Down

January 14, 2024 Carl Bussjaeger 2 Comments

Federal Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, of the Middle District of Florida, ruled that the ban on firearm possession in post offices is unconstitutional, in US v. Ayala. She cites the BRUEN test of general, historical legal tradition.

Mizelle gave the government multiple chances to present some evidence of such historical tradition. The best they could do?

the United States fails to point to sufficient historical evidence supporting § 930(a)’s application here. (providing only two paragraphs listing potential historical analogues without any analysis of how they are relevantly similar).

Mizelle herself did much more. Using USPS documents, she demonstrated that there has been a longstanding tradition of mail robberies and assaults; in a postal system itself of longstanding — pre-Revolutionary War — tradition. Yet never, until 1964 were firearms banned from any federal facility. The first specific post office gun ban was 1972. 18 U.S. Code § 930, the law under which Defendant Ayala was charged, didn’t come about until just 1988.

Mizelle took the government on a tour through American history, giving specific examples of the post office allowing clerks to arm themselves, and (again citing a USPS reference) “the Postmaster General armed railway mail clerks with “government-issued pistols” from World War I.” (emphasis in the original)

This is a lady who clearly read and understood Associate Justice Clarence Thomas’ BRUEN decision. In fact, in a conversation I mentioned that this decision reads like she was a Thomas protégé. Which prompted me to look up Judge Mizelle

She clerked for Clarence Thomas. I think he can be proud.

By the way, for those interested, Mizelle was the same federal judge who struck down the fed ChinCOVID mask mandates.

Dictatorship

January 10, 2024 Sheila Stokes Leave a comment

Dictatorship, form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations. The term dictatorship comes from the Latin title dictator, which in the Roman Republic designated a temporary magistrate who was granted extraordinary powers in order to deal with state crises. Modern dictators, however, resemble ancient tyrants rather than ancient dictators. Ancient philosophers’ descriptions of the tyrannies of Greece and Sicily go far toward characterizing modern dictatorships. Dictators usually resort to force or fraud to gain despotic political power, which they maintain through the use of intimidation, terror, and the suppression of basic civil liberties. They may also employ techniques of mass propaganda in order to sustain their public support.

I look at today’s political climate and I can’t escape the idea that this is where we are. Small group? Politicians and activist judges are trying to keep former President Trump off the ballot. Whether or not you love or hate him, people should have the chance to vote for the candidate they want to lead the country. That’s how it is suppose to work in a Constitutional Republic. Demoncratic policies are yielding the results one would expect from policies created and implemented by a bunch of college educated/indoctrinated marxists. Lower standards of living, shortages, poverty and crime are common in those sorts of 3^rd world countries run by the left. The left is the left is the left, the world over. Now I think many people suspected on day one that Biden wasn’t really the President when he was signing all those executive orders and he said he didn’t even know what he was signing and an aide snapped at him “Just sign it”. Really? That’s how you talk to the President of the United States of America? No, this is Obama’s third term.

Extraordinary powers, like the power to force people into dangerous medical experiments. Like the power to shut down business. Except for the demoncratic politicians of course. Like the power to shut down free speech of those who tried to warn about the danger. Like the power to persecute those who question anything the government doesn’t want to answer for. Say, for example the validity of an election. Now demoncrats have been contesting elections for years. Stacy Abrams still claims she’s governor. A gaggle of them object every time a Republican wins the Presidency. Nothing ever happens to them, but they do deny the election.

Uses force or fraud to gain power? Goodness knows there was plenty of evidence that the elections of 2020 were not clean, and people attempted to make that knowledge known at the time it was happening the media #FakeNews either ignored it or lied about it. Then came the Georgia runoff election for two senators. As nothing had been done to fix the voting problem in Georgia, predictably the communists won. The group that documented multiple cases of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election even made a documentary. True The Vote recently won their case in Georgia about the senatorial runoff race against Stacy Abrams, video about 8 minutes https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/judge-issues-2020-election-challenge-ruling-facts-matter-5558563

Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote and Greg Phillips were the leads in the documentary 2000 Mules that did extensive documentation on the voter fraud of the 2020 election. It’s well worth watching, they explain their search techniques and have mountains of video proving their point. And they have been persecuted by the government for doing that. We’ll revisit this in a minutes.

But onto the propaganda aspect. The marxist talking heads called the “media” are having kittens by the batch about how if President Trump wins the election he will shoot demoncrats that don’t clap at his inaugural speech. Why democracy (rule of mob) won’t be safe! The only way to save democracy is by demoncrats destroying it. At least according to them. They can only save democracy by preventing a large swath of the public from voting for the candidate of their choice. They have equally pearl clutching guests on who solemnly intone that former President Trump can’t possibly hold office because of the 14^th Amendment. An Amendment created to keep the members of the former confederacy from holding office after the civil war ended. But I don’t believe it was ever actually enforced. Since the mass formation psychosis operation known as “covid” the media has a successful playbook and they are sticking to it. But the establishment media has possibly overplayed their hand this time as they cover for the Obiden crime junta. People see that the costs of living are soaring, the Obiden junta is redistributing money from Americans to illegal invaders, crime is going up and the ever present attempts to disarm law-abiding Americans has not abated one whit. Many of “We the people” don’t like living under a marxist regime. Not one bit. But perhaps the lame-stream media is losing it’s credibility. People, I don’t think, believe them much anymore. Although msnbc’s loyal 7 listeners still tune in and hang on every word, and cnn’s 12 are still showing up to hear whoever hasn’t been arrested for some indecent act yet.

So what to do to win an election with an unpopular, corrupt, incompetent, demented candidate?

Going to the part of a dictatorship about terror, intimidation and removal of civil right, that brings us back to January 6^th. A day the left loves, loves to talk about, loves to celebrate, a day made just for them. And it was.

Representative Clay Higgins, I just love this guy. Former military, former law-enforcement officer he has a no nonsense style and doesn’t let up. He’s sort of like a pitbull with glasses. Plus I like to listen to him talk.

I’ve mentioned before the documentary done by the Epoch Times that extensively covered the day with film obtained from people who were there as well as independent journalists. They interview people that were there and tell their stories, they have video of the murder of Ashli Babbitt and Roseann Boyland, killed in cold blood by Michael Boyd and Lila Harris. Things demented Joe Biden still lies about. I don’t know if it’s free to watch or not. After all this time it may be. https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/the-real-story-of-jan-6-documentary-4596670

There is now a part 2, https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/therealstoryofjan6part2-5548012

It’s pretty recently released so it may or not be free to watch.

The FIB is ramping up the terror and intimidation as they’ve said now they are going to go after people that weren’t even in the Capitol, but were just there. They’re being very public about it. They want the terror and intimidation, they want U.S. afraid to speak out, to donate to, work for or attend a rally. Their message is don’t even think about it.

Which brings me to this. Greg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht are not only fighters for truth, justice and the American way of life, they are also trying to help the January 6^th political prisoners held by the Obiden crime junta. The January 6^th political prisoners put together a video, it’s a time line of events that happened that day. Greg says it’s a little rough, but considering they made the video mostly by themselves, it’s amazing. It’s being hosted by open.ink set up by Greg. There is a huge collection of material there, not just this video and it’s well worth checking out. It’s a bit over 1 hour and is free to watch. From open.ink

J6: A True Timeline gives the audience a never-before-seen timestamped blueprint for the events of January 6, 2021, as they unfolded in real time. No other film to date fills the gaps or tells the story chronologically the way this film does. The film is also different from anything produced to date because a small group of protestors, some who are J6 defendants, have been the ones to collect hours of footage to help contextualize the events of the day. The film was funded and produced entirely through small donations and tens of thousands of volunteer man hours. The hope is that the film will provoke all Americans to be more curious about the true timeline of January 6.

I think we can see who is behaving like a dictator and who isn’t. Please pray for America, for many reasons and please pray for our January 6^th political prisoners and their families.

That’s One Of My Conditions…

January 5, 2024 Carl Bussjaeger 6 Comments

… to ever even consider re-joining the Vichy NRA.

JUST IN: Wayne LaPierre Resigns as NRA Leader Days Before Trial Brought By NY AG Letitia James
On Friday Wayne LaPierre announced he will be resigning as the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) leader just days before his civil trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James begins.

That’s one. Well, actually two, now, since getting rid of Chris Cox was another of my conditions.

Seriously. Fire Wayne LaPierre. Chris Cox, too.

Then repudiate ERPOs and bump-fire bans. Apologize for opposing constitutional carry, for helping draft “assault weapons” bans, and endorsing obviously anti-human/civil rights politicians. Hell, apologize for supporting NFA ’34, GCA ’68, FOPA ’86, et cetera (it’s a long list).

And I’ll at least think about maybe joining.

I don’t expect them to actually apologize for all that, but then I expected E-Veep-For-Life LaPierre to die in office.

And it’s a minor thing, pertinent only to me, but I’d like them to either give me the magazine back issues I missed when they kept canceling my membership in the ’90s and sending me membership renewal notices, or refund me for the years of a five-year membership they disappeared. That and the city “assault weapon” ban that the NRA wrote were the final straws. It’s sort of a toss-up whether I quit or they canceled me again.

Well, his resignation is effective January 31. I guess we should watch to see how much more damage he can do on the way out.

“Jesus Was Palestinian”

December 22, 2023 Carl Bussjaeger 3 Comments

That line has been getting quite a bit of play from historically ignorant pro-Hamas protesters in the US, as Christmas approaches. It’s just plain stupid, as Palestine didn’t exist back then. Romans applied the name to their imperial province around AD 132, after a failed Jewish rebellion. They picked the name (which derived from the Greek name for Philistines).

But, anachronism aside, let’s roll with it, and see the implications.

“Jesus was Palestinian.”

Jesus was a Jew residing in the region, descended from other of the many (majority, in fact) Jews long residing in the region.

Therefore, all Jews living in Israel (the bulk of the Roman Palestine) now are Palestinians.

And thus we come to the fact that, by these idiots’ standards, we already have a free Palestinian state.

“Free Palestine” has existed since 1948, when the British gave the Mandate of Palestine its independence. Job done; from the river to the sea. Happy now?

Precedent Can Be Dangerous

December 20, 2023 Carl Bussjaeger 6 Comments

Or even really dangerous, in the wrong hands.

For years, I’ve warned about the dangers of precedents; in laws, bureaucratic regulation, and judicial. My personal ball got rolling back inthe 1990s with the passage of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. CALEA was passed to “help” LE catch criminals, by making it easier to tap phone calls.

The Communications Assistance for law Enforcement Act (CALEA) is a statute enacted by Congress in 1994 to require that telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have the necessary surveillance capabilities to comply with legal requests for information. CALEA is intended to preserve the ability of law enforcement agencies to conduct electronic surveillance while protecting the privacy of information outside the scope of the investigation.

Sure. But it morphed into requiring the capability to monitor 10% of switch traffic at the same time; ten percent of all phones in the country. And remotely, so LE doesn’t even have to come to the switch office and physically tap a single line. It was expanded to include Internet traffic.

Then the PATRIOT Act to help catch terrorists.

What could possibly go wrong? Who could have foreseen that someone later would use those tools to monitor thousands of innocent Americans, or even spy on the opposition’s election campaign?

Well… “Who,” other than myself and thousands of other privacy advocates.

The Colorado Supreme Court just gave us a real doozy of a precedent: it just declared Donald Trump to be an “insurrectionist” ineligible to appear on the state primary ballot.

Love Trump or hate him (and I’m no great fan), the “reasoning” and “process” behind this decision is frightening; enough so that I’ll never travel to or through Colorado again.

The CO supreme court majority (there are three dissenters with some self-awareness) simply declared Trump to be guilty of insurrection. They deliberately and specifically denied the need for an actual charge of 18 U.S.C. § 2383 insurrection, a trial, evidence, or conviction. They specifically denied any requirement for Fifth Amendment due process. The accusation — in a civil case that Trump was not a party to — is all it takes for a life sentence of ineligibility to hold office or appear on a ballot.

Because Amendment 14, Section 3 is magically “self-executing.”

There is no Fifth Amendment in Colorado.

If this were to go to the US Supreme Court (and Trump says he’ll appeal), we might well learn there is no Fifth Amendment in the country.

But let’s look at the flip side of this insane precedent, under the almost-worst case scenario*:

Imagine down the road we end up with a hard-core right-wing administration; a Republican president perhaps, with as little respect for the whole Constitution as many current Republicans (don’t forget who saddled us with CALEA, PATRIOT, and bump-stock bans in the first place). Let’s say President Smith ran on a platform plank of doing something about the ATF, winning hearts and minds of American gun owners.

On the one hand, we have an agency whose specific job is to infringe on Second Amendment rights.

On the other hand, we have a precedent that says Constitutional amendments are automatically “self-executing,” and punishments for violation of the 2A don’t require indictment, trial, evidence, facing accusers, or defense. And one day, President Smith Tyrant simply send US Marshals to every ATF office in the country to round up every agent and employee, and drag their sorry asses off to the gulags, never to be heard from again.

Or… Federal Election Commission, meet the self-executing First Amendment.

You can probably think of one or two others that could use a dose of Constitutional self-execution.

So to speak.

* The worst case scenario would be SCOTUS making this a national precedent with the current administration, which proceed to rape the country faster and harder than it already is.

Where Are All Those Pink Cat Ear Hats Now?

December 18, 2023 Sheila Stokes 4 Comments

Just curious, a normally very vocal demographic seems to have gone missing. I wonder if anyone has called in a missing people report on them. Goodness knows there are many many of them, and yet not a chirp from any of the normally mouthy harpies. Not for months now, almost three months to be exact. They were very very vocal during the Trump presidency. EVERYTHING was an attack upon women! Why words are violence!! President Trump was mean to women, he didn’t respect them! Why, he nominated a man for the Supreme Court that attacked a woman. Never mind it was years ago, her story changed many times, others at the party contradicted her story and the people protesting his nomination were being paid to do so. We must believe all women so the left tells us. Even when they are lying, we must believe them. Why it’s a virtue signal supreme.

Except when it comes to actual violence against women like that perpetrated against the women in Israel on the 7^th of October. See, those weren’t words or microaggressions. Those were whacking huge big real aggressions. The hamanazis consider rape, mutilation, torture and murder of innocent civilians as valid tactics. And it’s not a one time only offer that expires soon.

Hamas official says group aims to repeat Oct. 7 onslaught many times to destroy Israel

A senior member of Hamas has hailed the systematic slaughter of civilians in Israel on October 7, vowing in an interview that if given the chance, the Palestinian terror group will repeat similar assaults many times in the future until Israel is exterminated.

They are being aided by diversity hire Kamel-toe who wants a more favorable stance to the terrorists.

VP Harris Urges Biden, WH to Be ‘Tougher’ on Israel

And we all know her firm grasp of foreign affairs when someone asked her to speak about the war between Russia and Ukraine early on…yeah…she’s the second foreign policy genius in the White House. /sarcasm font. She’s consistent though, she raised money to bail out the rioters, arsonists and looters during the summer of love. People knew what they were getting when they voted Obiden-Harris.

But hey, terrorism supporting is something the whole family believes in. Her daughter raised 8 mil for the hamanazis. So never let it be said that family doesn’t stand up for the rape, torture, mutilation and murder of other women!

Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff is promoting an $8M Gaza fundraising campaign

The thing that just baffles me, are the soccer moms that think the left is strong on women’s rights. Oh yeah, a slogan like a woman needs a man like…..yeah boy howdy is that ever meaningful. But speaking out against atrocities against women? Meh, not really their thing you see, unless it’s to try to get a conservative to drop out of a race or give the #FakeNews a piece of nonsense to smear someone.

But their belief in #FakeNews and #FakeUniversities is probably going to jump up and bite them. Their naive trust in the left and the government to protect them will be an even more painful bite.

Westerners are not infidels, they are babes in toyland

These calls for a ceasefire need to, well, cease. The stated purpose was hostage release from hamanazis and hardened criminal release from Israeli jails. But there are many many women that the hamanazis are holding hostage that aren’t being released. The captives that have been released were drugged before they were released so they would appear calm during the filmed release. Once the drugs started wearing off, not so much. My heart breaks for them and their families. Especially the children.

So why are so many young women still held?

State Dept. Reveals Horrific Reason Female Hostages Haven’t Been Released by Hamas

According to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, the Iranian backed terrorist organization isn’t releasing additional female hostages, who were violently taken from their homes and a music festival in Israel on October 7, because they know and have experienced too much while in captivity. In other words, they don’t want them speaking out about what has been done to them.

Maybe no one has told the women’s groups about the atrocities, definitely more than words, microaggression or misgendering.

Global women’s rights groups silent as Israeli women testify about rapes by Hamas

First Lady Herzog decries ‘unforgivable’ silence of rights groups over Hamas rapes

United Nations slammed for silence over Hamas rapes, mutilation and murder of Israeli women, critics say

‘Where are you?’ – Israeli hostage families urge women’s groups to speak up

Huh, well, yeah I guess someone has mentioned it to them, people have asked why the silence. Some just don’t want to see or hear so they don’t have to speak against the hamanazis.

But here’s what the mush headed, keffiyeh draped college students with their pasty white little arms waving “Free Palestine” placards don’t seem to understand, which considering the quality of “higher education” snicker snicker, is understandable. You’re on the menu as well.

See the majority of the kibbutzim hit were leftists. Gentle kind people that wanted good things for the people of Gaza. Because they didn’t, past tense, understand what they were dealing with. You could ask peace activist Vivan Silver, but she’s dead. It’s mentioned in this column, it’s towards the top with a picture. But this woman is still alive. She’s a survivor of Kibbutz Nir Oz. The woman who lit the Menorah for our public Menorah lighting lived there. She’s alive because she was state side visiting her daughters family for Sukkot. Her home is gone, her car is gone, most of her neighbors are gone.

This woman is from the same kibbutz.

Where ever these people are, there will be violence and terror. As Sweden knows, and France has fallen as well now. How can I say that? Simple, when the terrorism against it’s citizens is covered up and excused by the government and media, she’s all over but the shouting of “Allie’s snackbar”.

Daily Jihad in France

Paris, December 2, 2023. 9 pm. A man shouting “Allahu Akbar!” (“Allah is the greatest!”) stabbed a German tourist walking along the Seine near the Eiffel Tower, an area considered safe. On the way to the hospital, the victim died. The murderer, again shouting, “Allahu Akbar!”, attacked two more people, seriously wounding them, before the police arrested him. A government press release quickly mentioned that the killer was a French citizen, born in France, with the exceedingly French first name of Armand.

Then reality struck. Armand was indeed born in France in 1997, but his original first name was Iman (full name: Iman Rajabpour-Miyandoab) — until 2003, when his Iranian parents, who had fled the Islamic Republic, became French citizens and changed his name to Armand. In 2015-2016, he proclaimed his allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and made contact on social networks with many Islamists who had perpetrated terror attacks in France in that time period, and he planned a terrorist attack in Paris.

And it’s here now, has been for some time. But under the Obiden-Harris junta it’s coming out into the open. And why wouldn’t it. The White House supports the terrorism with buckets of money going to Iran, to the hamanazis and the censure of Israel for trying to defend her own citizens from foreign invaders. A concept that’s an anathema to the current regime.

A bit more open that leftist Jayapal’s comments wouldn’t you say?

So perhaps the soccer moms, college mush and devoted leftist women need to understand, this is here, and the keffiyeh you’re sporting isn’t a cloak of invisibility. And I’m sure the women’s groups that have stood up so staunchly for the women of October 7^th will stand up just as strongly for you. Every bit.

No one is coming to save you, not washed up actresses, not harpies on the View, not outspoken communists or the leftist in congress. They don’t care about you and they never did or we, U.S., wouldn’t be facing this danger. And if you’re one of those enabling it, I have no sympathy for you. None.

The left didn’t even care about you when it was a family violence incident. ‘No One Is Coming to Save You’: Domestic Violence Survivors Speak Out Against Gun Control

Look at how Sweden and France treat the women in their country that have suffered the abuse and attacks by invaders. You’ll be treated the same. You will find out how much that pink cat ear hat is worth.

I heard this on a radio show, in WWII people didn’t intervene much because it was just the Jews hitler was going after. It was a “Jewish problem”, and six million Jews died. But you see hitler didn’t stop with the Jews, another five million gypsies, Romas, homosexuals, resistance fighters, the disabled and others also died. We’re the canary in the coal mine, but we aren’t the end of it. Only the start.

Government “Research”

December 15, 2023 Carl Bussjaeger 3 Comments

I ran across an interesting paper this morning; “Chemistry and lung toxicity of particulate matter emitted from firearms.” It was published about a year ago, but I only just found it.

This came from the EPA, so I was expecting a real mess. But to my surprise the testing and analysis they did actually looks pretty good. The short version is that they captured “gun smoke” from the muzzle and breach, exposed mice to it, then did a fairly extensive chemical analysis of the particulate matter. They dissected the mice to see what effects occurred. All that was fine.

And then they blew it all on an unsupported, over generalized conclusion. A more accurate title would have been “Chemistry and lung toxicity of particulate matter emitted from one single type of cartridge in a specific model of rifle, and one single type of cartridge from a specific model of handgun.”

They began well with:

Abstract: “Smoke emissions produced by firearms contain hazardous chemicals, but little is known if their properties change depending on firearm and ammunition type and whether such changes affect toxicity outcomes.”

They acknowledged the existence of many types of ammunition and firearms, but only tested one handgun (“9 mm handgun (copper jacketed Pb slug)”) and one rifle (“M4 rifle using M855A1 ammunition”) combination. Based on that detailed but limited sampling, they somehow managed to draw a generalized conclusion about all handgun and rifle ammunition.

At least I’m guessing that that they used a single handgun/ammunition combination, since they didn’t specify the handgun model or ammunition type for that.

Conclusion: “We demonstrated that the handgun smoke PM caused no lung toxicity at 24 h post-exposure, while the rifle smoke PM at the same concentration showed strong toxicity (including injury, inflammation and decrements in lung function) following a single instillation exposure in association with the high level of Cu (26% of PM mass).

Sure; that’s what they found… for their extremely limited sample.

In the real world of ammunition…

Propellants vary. Single-based? Double-based? Is the powder ball type or extruded stick? What size? That all affects burn rate. How much propellant is in the case?

Projectiles vary: bullet diameter and mass. What is the bullet made of? Is it jacketed or unjacketed? Jacketed with what metal or alloy? Is it Teflon coated?

Primers: Small pistol? Large pistol? Small rifle? Large rifle? Shotshell? Large shot shell? What chemical composition?

Of course, there’s always muzzleloaders: black powder or Pyrodex?

In the real world of firearms, we see more differences which will affect the ejected particulates.

Rifling type: land/groove rifling will abraded the bullet more than orthogonal rifling. A faster twist will cause more abrasion than a slow twist. Then, of course, there are smooth-bore shotguns.

Barrel length matters, too. Longer barrel, more projectile wear.

While the research really only addressed toxicity, I’ll note that “The dose makes the poison.” They trapped the smoke from a barrel and breach, then exposed the mice to all of that. In the real world, more factors yet affect the shooter’s exposure.

A longer barrel rather obviously puts more of the smoke farther away from the shooter behind the gun. How tightly the breech seals affects how much of the smoke is channeled back towards the shooter. And the use of a silencer/suppressor will raise that back pressure (while limiting what goes out the barrel end).

Then we move to other barrel attachments. In a plain barrel, the smoke ejects 360 degrees as the bullet exists the barrel. But add a flash suppressor and the blast is directed forward, away from the shooter.

But a muzzle brake/compensator will tend to channel some of the muzzle blast back towards the shooter; even more so than an unadorned barrel.

As a shooter, my greatest personal environmental concern is lead exposure in an indoor range. Bullets impacting the backstop fragment and generate lead dust. That’s why indoor ranges have very good ventilation systems. Beyond that, I wash my hands after shooting and before handling food.

The testing and analysis they did was quite good, as far as it went. But it was far too limited to warrant general conclusions about “handguns” and “rifles,” much less all “firearms.”
