Defending the Constitution by Endorsing its Enemies?

How can one defend Constitutional integrity by endorsing the view of its enemies? How can one defend its meaning if ignorant of that meaning? The former is akin to an attorney telling the jury every word uttered by prosecutors with respect to his client’s guilt is true, but, find him not guilty anyway. The latter would be like a football team taking the field having spent zero time studying and learning their plays. Both are doomed to failure.

Chris Stigall is a conservative radio talk show host out in Kansas City, Missouri. The Pacific Legal Foundation, headquartered in Sacramento, California, is a conservative nonprofit defending American’s individual and property rights in Court against abuse by the federal government. I was able to pick up the Stigall Show on Monday 3 October 2022. He was interviewing an attorney for Pacific Legal about a pending case. During the discussion, she said, and Stigall agreed, under the Commerce Clause, the federal government has the authority to regulate anything that crosses state lines. Both are profoundly wrong. Prior to penning this refutation, I attempted to contact Stigall through several channels including his station manager, without success. That conservatives are ignorant of the Constitution to the point of endorsing interpretations counter to its meaning, is testament to public education’s success in teaching an imposter. The talk show host and attorney’s error possibly stem from a misapprehension with respect to America’s form of government, nature of delegated powers, state’s reserved powers, and meaning of the Commerce Clause.

America has a federal not national form of government. Although these terms are used interchangeably by teachers, they are, in fact, not at all the same. Under a national system, all power is consolidated in a central government and states comprise its regional subdivisions and have little or no autonomy. The central government makes all laws and applies them to states irrespective of local interests.1 America has a federal system in which States created the general government and delegated to it finite powers. Its authority is limited to international relations, foreign trade, war, copyrights, and standardization of currency, weights and measures, and a postal system. States are not political subdivisions of the general government but retain independent authority within their boundaries.2 They also have the right to take back powers they delegated to the federal government.3 States reserved all powers to themselves over domestic affairs. Federal and state power operate in separate autonomous spheres. Like trains, they run on parallel but separate tracks that do not intersect.4 States enumerated the federal government’s 18 powers in Article 1, Section 8. Any power not delegated is a power denied to the federal government. State’s exclusive authority over non-delegated powers is codified in the Tenth Amendment.5

The federal government may exercise only its enumerated powers and may not create implied from explicit ones. It may acquire new or expanded powers only through the amendment process. Only states may amend the Constitution. It cannot be amended by any branch of the federal government through interpretation. It may not make national laws as those operate on and within states which would violate the 10th Amendment. How does this relate to the Commerce Clause?

The Clause reads;

“The Congress shall have Power: To regulate commerce with foreign Nations,

and among the several States, with the Indian Tribes” [capitalization in the

original].6

Through the Declaration of Independence (1776), Articles of Confederation (1781), and Treaty of Paris (1783), Britain’s 13 former North American colonies declared they were independent sovereign states (nations) and recognized as such by Great Britain and the world. Each possessed an autonomous government and constitution. To raise revenue and protect native industry and agriculture, states erected tariffs and tolls on goods crossing their borders, by land, sea, and river, from other states. They also disputed the boundaries of western lands won through the war.7 In addition, they made separate trade treaties with foreign powers without regard to whether or not it harmed the interests of other states.

For example, under its colonial charter, Maryland controlled the Potomac River right to Virginia’s shoreline. Both used this river to ship upstate and western goods to the coast. To gain access to the river, Virginia successfully negotiated a trade treaty with Maryland. James Madison and others believed similar arrangements might be expanded to include the other eleven states. This might unify them and lead to settlement of western land claims. They called for a Convention to meet in Annapolis, 1785. Some states sent delegates, some arrived too late, and others boycotted. Congress called for a second convention to meet in Philadelphia.8 They met from May through September, 1787, debating and working out a constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. They faced many challenges. Chief among them were trade disputes.

If states created a trade system benefitting all and disadvantaging none, it would diffuse interstate conflicts and bolster their economic strength vis a vis Britain and Europe. A clause eliminating interstate barriers to trade and commerce was the solution. In time, this policy would transform the United States into the “largest area of free trade in the world”. The Commerce Clause would put an end to “mercantilistic systems” of trade.9

John Taylor, perhaps the most towering intellect of the Founding period, noted the power to regulate commerce states delegated to the federal government served two purposes, “to prevent foreign nations from obtaining unjust advantages over the United States” and “to prevent one state from making another tributary to itself”.10 However, and this is crucial, the Commerce Clause delegates to Congress power to regulate trade between the U.S. and three forms of “sovereign entities; the States, foreign nations, and the Indian Tribes”.11 This refers to trade arrangements. It does not grant Congress power over commercial activities in or between states.12 The Commerce Clause’s purpose is to create one voice with respect to foreign trade and to facilitate free trade between states. How is the latter accomplished? By eliminating interstate tariffs and tolls not to erect rules governing commercial activity within and or crossing state lines.

In Federalist 42, James Madison explained the Commerce Clause only delegated to the federal government authority over international trade but not over the commercial activities within states or crossing their borders.13 Under this clause, the federal government makes trade treaties with foreign nations. To argue it empowers a federal government to make national laws governing commercial activities within states is nonsensical. States created the federal government. Did they assign it the function of making trade treaties between it and individual states? Of course not, because states are not foreign nations and commercial activities fall under state’s reserved powers. For example, the federal government may make trade treaties with Indian tribes but it has no authority to make rules governing the manufacture and sale of goods by Indians or sold to non-Indians. It is crucial to keep in mind that commercial activities and trade are not the same.14

The federal government has no authority to make rules governing the manufacture and sale of goods, working conditions, wages, or rules for transportation by air, boat, train or truck, private or public, inter or intrastate. These are functions of state governments.15

Madison noted delegates to the federal convention used the term commerce 34 times during debate and discussion typically in reference to trade with foreign nations. They used the terms commerce and trade interchangeably. This was true for the 63 times authors of the Federalist Papers [Hamilton, Madison, and Jay] used the terms. No delegate to the federal and subsequent state ratifying conventions, used these terms to mean other than trade.16

In Federalist 45, Madison wrote;

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government

are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are

numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external

objects as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the

power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to

the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of

affairs concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal

order, improvement and prosperity of the State”.17

What about the word “regulate”? Does it not mean the federal government has authority to control commercial activity? Does not control necessarily imply authority to make rules governing such activities in states, especially if it crosses state lines?

Fortunately, we have a treasure trove of documents from the framers. They demonstrate the common usage of the word “regulate” with respect to the Commerce Clause did not mean authority to make rules governing commercial activity. On the contrary, it means “to keep moving” to make regular. The Clause’s purpose is to keep trade moving by, as noted, eliminating interstate tariffs and tolls. The federal government’s power is reactive. It may remove barriers to interstate trade but may make no rules governing commercial activity.

Article 1, section 9, clause 6 states;

“No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue, to the

ports of one State over those of another; nor shall Vessels to or from one State, be

obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another [capitalization in the original].18

The Article is clear, Congress’s commerce power is to eliminate specific trade policies, employed by states, favoring their domestic industries and commercial activities at the expense of sister states.

Comparing the Constitution’s sections on commerce, with the dictionary extant at the time [1785 edition of Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language], it is clear commerce is defined as trade not the manufacture and sale of goods or any other gainful activity. This includes all phases of agricultural production and trade between individuals.19 Hence, the federal government has zero authority to make national laws governing the economic activities of private individuals, companies, or states within or crossing state borders.

Vice President John C. Calhoun, regrettably binned by modernity over his views on slavery, was correct in observing regulation of commerce applies to relations between the United States and foreign nations. Congress cannot “regulate” commercial activities within or between states because such power belongs only to a national form of government and the United States is constituted a federal republic. Calhoun noted the only time the clause would empower the federal government in relations with states would be if one chose to erect tariffs on goods from other states.20

University Professor of Law and Government, Randy E. Barnett, notes in every case when the Constitution’s framers used the word “commerce”, the “narrowest” construction is employed. The phrase “among the states” referred to trade between states and “regulate” meant “to make regular”. Again, Congress has no authority to make rules governing economic activity in any state whether it crosses state lines or not.21

Professor St. George Tucker, an officer in the Virginia Militia during the War of Independence, and later law professor, wrote the Constitution never authorized the federal government to regulate or interfere with domestic commerce in any way. The Commerce Clause was designed to protect domestic commercial activity from federal interference. States never delegated Congress authority to make rules for any form of economic activity among people, businesses, and states.22 Yet, today, Congress and the Court interpret “to regulate” opposite of its meaning. Justice Clarence Thomas observes the “original meaning” (indicating the current one is in error) of commerce “was limited to the ‘trade and exchange’ of goods and transportation for this purpose”. Courts today have turned this meaning on its head by applying it to “any gainful activity”.23

A common understanding of the Commerce Clause remained consistent throughout the founding era. There is “not a single example from the reports of these proceedings [drafting and ratifying the Constitution] that unambiguously used the broad meaning of commerce, and many instances where the context makes clear that the speaker intended a narrow meaning”.24

Professor Brion McClanahan writes, since Chief Justice John Marshall, who was a strong proponent of a national as opposed to federal system, used Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) to create for Congress a “right to regulate interstate commerce”.25 Marshall had access to founding documents and even spoke in favor of ratification at the Virginia Convention. He knew the meaning and intent of the Commerce Clause. He knew Congress has no authority to regulate private or public economic activities inter or intrastate. But he, like Alexander Hamilton, supported abolishing state governments by consolidating all power in a national government. He ruled, Congress could intervene and make rules for commerce “within a single state” if it affected trade with or in another state.26 In so doing, he overturned the Constitution. From Marbury v. Madison (1803) McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) and subsequent cases, Marshall created from thin air, a new power for Congress rejected to it by the States and Constitution.

Marshall believed the framers meaning and intent for the Commerce Clause was “too narrow”. Congress should have the power to intervene in the economic affairs of state and people. He wrote, “The manner in which the Congress decides to regulate commerce is completely at the discretion of Congress”.27 Of course, he did. Such power would go a long way toward transforming a federal into a national system and destroy state’s reserved powers. Subsequent Courts built precedent on Marshall’s invalid rulings.

For many years they were successfully opposed by Presidents and Governors but, with the passage of time, and for various reasons, Americans began to accept this rewriting of the Constitution and extralegal abolition of the 10th Amendment. Federal Courts ruled Congress could now make laws governing all economic activities within and across state lines if such activities had a “substantial effect (determined by Congress and the Court), on other states. This is an open-ended grant of power because any “activity when taken in the aggregate, could be said to have a ‘substantial effect” on interstate trade. Marshall and subsequent courts eviscerated limits on Congress’s power.28

States created a federal not national government. Through the Constitution, they delegated to it limited and defined powers. They include foreign relations, international trade, war, and standardization of currency, weights and measurements, copyrights, and a postal system. States did not surrender but reserved all other powers to themselves. No federal branch of government, legislative, executive, or judicial, was given the power of judicial review. None has the sole or final authority to interpret the Constitution’s meaning. That right belongs to the people. Consolidationists at the federal convention proposed granting this power to the federal court but delegates voted it down knowing full well States would never ratify the proposed constitution if it contained such a provision. Therefore, the Court has zero authority to rule on the constitutionality of any law, federal or state. The Commerce Clause was written to prohibit states from restricting the free flow of interstate goods through internal tariffs and tolls. Period. Congress has no authority to regulate the economic activities of people, businesses, private or public, within states or because they cross an imaginary line.

How can anyone defend what they know little or nothing about? This amounts to an inexcusable forfeiture on the battlefield. As one who taught government for more than two decades in the public high school system, I am well aware what they teach is an imposter in place of the real Constitution. This is no excuse for conservatives and those claiming to be originalists, to promote the same imposter. After all, I too was taught the false constitution. I took the time to find the real one and others should as well. You may be surprised to discover how far removed, the one taught in public schools, is from the Constitution ratified by the Thirteen States. Hint, no amendments were ever passed to change the intended, and now opposite, meaning of t

When a lie is the FIB

With the recent decision in the Gretchen Whitmer faux kidnapping plot, which saw two of the defendants acquitted and another two had a result of a hung jury. Which is amazing considering how little evidence the defense was allowed to present. In some cases because it might “confuse the jury”. Uh huh.

There’s More to Yesterday’s Verdicts in the Michigan Whitmer Kidnapping Case – Much More…

Both before and during the trial, prosecutors went to extraordinary lengths to exclude evidence and witnesses that might undermine their arguments, while winning the right to bring in almost anything favorable to their own side. As a result, defense attorneys were largely reduced to nibbling at the edges of the government’s case in hopes of instilling doubt in the jurors’ minds, and to making claims about official misconduct with vanishingly few pieces of evidence to support them.

But did you know there is actual video of the planning sessions?

Well, yeah, it’s the Bee, but I figure that’s probably about how it really worked. So isn’t it interesting that the head of the Detroit office at the time was transferred to DC shortly before January 6th? Guess he had a perfect work resume, eh wot?

Head of FBI Detroit during the fake Whitmer kidnapping plot was transferred to DC Field Office before Jan 6

Many have pointed out the striking FBI parallels between the Capitol riot that took place on Jan. 6, 2021, and the Whitmer would-be kidnapping case. Even a New York Times reporter admitted on footage captured by undercover Project Veritas staffers that there were “a ton of FBI informants” among the Jan. 6 rioters.

That is quite a coincidence isn’t it? The events following January 6th have long bothered me. There is so much video footage that hasn’t been released, why not? Ashli Babbit’s murder by a cop who had left his service weapon in a bathroom in the past, now murdered an American citizen who moments before had been yelling at a cop to call for back up and tried to stop a man much bigger than herself from breaking in a door. Oh, and he’s now been promoted. And rather than have a fair hearing or trial the DC swamp just covered it up.

One article says there may have been as many as 20 federal “asses”, er “assets” embedded on January 6th. Twenty? Oh, I’d guess much higher. 20 Federal ‘Assets’ Embedded at Capitol on Jan. 6, Court Filing Says

“How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Cruz asked Jill Sanborn, executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch.

“Sir, I’m sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods,” Sanborn said.

Cruz replied, “Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of Jan. 6, yes or no?”

“Sir, I can’t answer that,” Sanborn said.

“Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on Jan. 6?” Cruz asked.

“I can’t answer that, sir,” Sanborn replied.

Well of course you can’t.

The list of normal American citizens the FIB went after is staggering. Here’s a selection of a few. Included are a single Mom who is at risk of losing her infant and spending 30 years in jail. For the crime of…..wait for it….being a proud boy. Yep, those Demoncrats really can’t tell boys from girls. One would think the FIB, being the crack investigative agency that it is could figure out if she just gave birth..oh yeah, I forgot, birthing person. Well, and they probably aren’t biologists either. If we’re lucky Demoncrats will be extinct in time, seeing as how they don’t have the reproducing thing down yet. But these stories are just heartbreaking, a Dad who forgives the piece of crap son that turned him into the FIB because he wouldn’t let the boy take his Mom’s car to a BLM riot. Geez, didn’t tell him he couldn’t go, just he couldn’t take his Mom’s car. I mean these stories are heartbreaking. Especially when you get into how the prisoners have been treated in the DC prison.

Deputy Warden at DC Gulag Where Pro-Trump Political Prisoners Are Violently Beaten and Abused Deletes Twitter Page After She Is Exposed as Toxic Trump-Hater

Deletes Twitter page? Wow, that sounds really serious, not got fired, denied pension or anything like that, just deletes Twitter page.

These people are being denied edible food, access to see their families, healthcare (thought that was a human right obama?) and basic human rights, let alone dignity. I’m not sure it’s true, but I hear there is a letter asking for Putin to liberate the DC gulag.

In case you want a refresher on some of the MSM aka #FakeNews talking points, Mother of January 6th Political Prisoner Whose Son Faces 20 Years for Reporting Inside US Capitol Publishes Must-Read List of Facts and she rebuts them all. Guess there’s a reason they call it #FakeNews.

“None of Them Should Be in Jail. They Should All Be Out On Bail…It Is an American Gulag” – Judge Napolitano on the DOJ’s and Court’s Actions with January 6ers

As Washington DC is funded by taxpayer dollars, I would think there would be some leverage. And this is what gets to me. Other than some notable names how many politicians are defending people that are in jail for going to a peaceful rally? How many are parroting back how appalled they were by the behavior and on ad nauseam? I thought Americans objected to political prisoners, and they certainly are. But our big speaking politicians are all mush mouthed on this.

Why has no one contacted Amnesty International?

But you know who has stepped up to the plate? Bin Laden. Yep, Bin Laden. Not that one. Noor, his niece. She is amazing, and I’m not just saying that because I’m totally jealous of her hair. On February 7th, this year:

*On February 7, 2022 PACE submitted this document (ref. A/HRC/49/NGO/244, published on March 9, 2022) to the UN Human Rights Council with literally one minute left before the automated system was shut down. Hence why there are a couple of typos in the official document. Also, UN editors systematically changed ‘the U.S.’ or ‘U.S.’ to ‘the United States of America’, annoyingly making the original document less than an ideal read –– please ignore.

Yes, Noor Bin Laden has submitted a document to the UN Human Rights Council on behalf of the January 6th political prisoners. The story behind it, and what she submitted can be found here, on her web site. There is also a link to the official UN document. Here’s a snippet:

An African regime that behaved like the Biden administration, using its state security services to suppress dissent and punish political opponents, under the guise of a “domestic war on terror,” would be swiftly condemned by the UN, and punished with sanctions.

We respectfully urge the OHCHR to reconsider its January 18, 2021 statement, in light of new evidence, and to take forceful action against the grievious human rights violations now being unleashed against political dissidents by US security services.

Yep, Noor Bin Laden doing the job American politicians haven’t done.

Meanwhile the FIB has become a joke, and it needs to be defunded as well as D.C.

I did hear the had a January 6th reunion recently though. FBI To Host First Annual Jan 6 Reunion There was video of that as well.

Yeah, I wanted to try to find a way to end it on a bit of a smile, if possible. Pesach starts tomorrow evening. We celebrate our G-d taking us out of the slavery of Egypt, towards a life and land where we could live with the directions for living a good life according to the directions G-d would soon be giving us.

May political prisoners all over the world soon taste freedom, and may we all leave the slavery of our own private “Egypts”.

My Platform Will Consist Of

I still belong to a group of like minded people that belonged to the Israeli political party Zehut, which means “Identity”. And we’ve been having conversations about the recent wave of terror attacks in Israel. You may not have been aware of them as President Puddin’ head has been trying to start World War III during his walk back weekend. I’m sure circle back Psaki (Ginger Goebbels) has been having nightmares. But yes, there have been several attacks in just the last few weeks. The religion of pieces is getting warmed up for Rama-damn. Like most of the world’s other religions, Islam has the time of year, certainly not a holy day, where they celebrate with fasting (during the day) and going out and trying to kill Jews. In Israel or anywhere else they might be living.

So in the course of the group message conversation I made some statements. Someone in the group said something about the terror attack in Bnei Brak (a religious neighborhood) and the conversation started.

Concealed carry, free ammo and practice time for every Israeli citizen starting tomorrow

Shocking I haven’t been asked to run for office isn’t it?

There is no limit of one firearm to one person even. Rifle shotgun and handgun have different purpose. Ideally a person needs one of each. There is no firearms limit nor is there a magazine capacity limit.

Law abiding citizens should not have to live in fear of wild animals. Two or four legged.

No that’s my platform! I think you’re right there are strict limits and that’s why this keeps happening🤬

The arabs like all criminals couldn’t care less about weapons laws

Too bad they are so strictly limited and the arabs know it.. They’ll just go to areas where they can’t have them like finding gun free zones in America

It will be a great day when the leaders of countries care as much about their own actual citizens as they do illegals, arabs and criminals.

Now if they could get the media to announce every Jew applying for a permit will be granted and the government to ignore the railings of President Puddin’s handlers perhaps it could be sorted. The homicidal maniacs have to understand they will be stopped before the can create orphans and widows since they don’t mind dying.

I’m not including statements from anyone else as I haven’t asked permission.

But since Ukraine is the current distraction from the rise in all cause mortality, the galloping tyranny and injection reactions is being spoon fed with a shovel at the moment I’m not sure the MSM aka #FakeNews has had a chance to mention them. So here ya go.

Assailant kills 4 in stabbing attack in Beersheba, Israel

The attacker hit a cyclist with his car, killing the cyclist, then exited his car at the mall and stabbed three people to death before being shot to death by a bus driver. The dead included three women and a man. Police are searching for a suspected second assailant.

Kann News, a government-run news station, said the attacker was an Israeli citizen and a Bedouin. The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups praised the attack but did not directly claim responsibility.

Kann reported that there have been repeated calls by Islamist terrorist groups for knifing attacks on Israeli citizens in recent weeks. The Jerusalem Post reported that this was the third stabbing attack in Israel in a week.

Terror attack in Beersheba unsettles Israeli government

The murderous rampage in one of Israel’s major cities March 22 not only left four Israelis dead in just eight minutes, but also delivered a devastating blow to the ruling coalition. It was the worst terrorist attack in Israel in years, made even worse by the perpetrator being an Israeli citizen, a Bedouin from the village of Hura. He was reportedly also a supporter of the Islamic State who had spent time in Israeli prison for security offenses.

Same attack, but more information.

Four People Killed in Southern Israel Terror Attack

Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanou praised the “executor of the heroic act in Be’er Sheva. Our battle against the occupation continues and we will not stop.”

“The occupation’s crimes shall be met with heroic operations: stabbings, rammings and shootings,” al-Qanou said.

Tensions have risen in Israel and the Palestinian territories ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, slated to begin next month.

On Sunday, a 20-year-old Israeli police officer was wounded in a stabbing attack in the Arab neighborhood of Ras al-Amud in Jerusalem.

A day earlier, an Israeli man was wounded in another stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Saturday by a Palestinian terrorist.

Ah yes, I’m sure we all, Jews and Christians, remember celebrating the holy days during our youth and childhood when we would all go out and try to murder innocent people of a different faith and then our friends and neighbors would hand out candy and sweets if we managed to kill an old woman, a young child, anyone really. /bitter sarcasm.

The first time I ever went to Israel I stayed in Beer Sheva. I loved it. I had a tree with a planter around it that you could sit on out in front of the building. I’d take coffee and my book or journal out there of an evening and write in it, of a morning coffee and prayers. No one ever bothered me. It was a lovely city.

MY Etz Tamar (date palm tree)

But onto more.

6 dead, including alleged gunman, in apparent Israel terror attack

A gunman randomly killed at least five people when he opened fire on a busy street in Israel on Tuesday before he was taken out by cops, reports said.

The suspected terrorist shooting in Bnei Brak, an ultra-orthodox suburb of Tel Aviv, comes after two other attacks by Arab citizens that have sparked fear of ongoing violence ahead of the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan on Saturday.

The gunman was identified by the Jerusalem Post as Dia Hamarsha from Ya’bad, He was allegedly convicted in 2015 on arms dealing charges related to his affiliation with a terrorist group, the Post said.

With all these Arabs committing attacks that have previous records of crimes does anyone know if the criminal supporting “judge” Ketanji Jackson has been working in Israel? Obviously they were set loose to commit other crimes. Though we are assured Ketanji is a lovely lady by RINO Susan Collins Susan Collins to vote ‘yes’ on Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court, in first Republican backing Side note unrelated to current story, this is why you never ever send money to the republican party. Just don’t do it. Your welcome.

Suspected terror attack in Israel leaves 2 dead and 6 wounded This one was in Hadera

The two gunmen opened fire at a bus stop in the city, which was located near several restaurants. Both of the gunmen were killed by undercover police officers who happened to be eating nearby, according to The Times of Israel, and six others were wounded in the shooting.

Thankfully they appear not to have been “woke” cops.

Terrorist Shot After Stabbing Bus Passenger

The wave of terror continues in Israel. A Palestinian terrorist on Thursday morning boarded a public bus near the Etzion Bloc of Jewish settlements in Judea and stabbed a passenger with a screwdriver.

But the murderous plans of the would-be killer were quickly ended by an armed civilian who neutralized the threat.

Arab indicted for stabbing 35-year-old Jew in Jerusalem

Murad Barkat, a resident of the Abu Tur neighborhood of Jerusalem, has been indicted for the stabbing attack of a 35-year-old man about two weeks ago on Derech Hebron Street near the First Station plaza in the city.

The attack in Beer Sheva was stopped by armed citizens. The one in Hadera by off duty under-cover officers, the one in Bnei Brak was stopped by Police, one of whom was a Christian Arab officer who gave his life.

Israelis come from across country to funeral of Amir Khoury

Haredi, religious Jews pay respects to Christian Arab policeman who gave his life to stop Bnei Brak terrorist attack

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We know during Rama-Damn that the Arabs celebrate their holy day by trying to kill innocent people. That it is praise worthy. So let’s look at some reactions to the most recent wave. Just a few.

“We the Jews are the very provocation, and until we vanish, the terror won’t end” This article has views from the political right and left. But for those that don’t know, Naftali Bennett, the current Prime Minister was head of a party called “Yamina” which means rightward. He campaigned saying he would never form alliances with the left. But Israel had a weird political system and no political party got the magic number of over 60 votes, so Bennett promptly formed an alliance with the left wing nut Benny Gantz who not only threw Jews out of their homes in Gaza (and that’s worked out so well) but the snakey Bennett had said in the past that Gantz should never become Defense Minister. So of course he joined forces with him and now Gantz is Defense Minister. He also enlisted Yair Lapid, and, wait for it, Mansoor Abbas. Head of the Arab the Arab joint list.

Abbas is also the Deputy Chairman of the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement. That is not a small matter, given the fact that the Norther Branch of the Islamic Movement was outlawed in Israel.

Well of course he is. Always make political alliances with those trying to kill you in pursuit of personal power. And of course, Bennett can’t/won’t do anything to displease Abbas because if Abbass pulls out of the union, the government falls apart and it’s new elections. So you have a wave of Arabs murdering Israeli citizens and a PM who is scared to do what needs to be done. More on this in a minute.

Mayor withdraws resignation after condolences to shooters’ families

Umm al-Fahm Mayor Dr. Samir Sobhi Mahamed withdrew his resignation after publishing a letter of condolence to the families of the terrorists who committed the deadly shooting attack in Hadera on Sunday.

Mahamed had announced his resignation in a live interview Thursday evening, only to announce he would remain in office a few hours later.

The words of condolence to the families of the terrorists were published on the official Facebook account of the Municipality of Umm al-Fahm, and were written on his behalf of all municipal employees and residents of the city.

But average citizens? Israelis struggle with new reality of modern terror I’m not listing every opinion, just those I want to comment on.

Every terror-supporting Arab-Israeli should have their citizenship revoked, several Israelis said, in what appears to be a growing consensus.

Yes, yes they should. I believe Moshe Feiglin had a great plan for relocation. Sha’i ben-Tekoa has a fabulous plan. Any terrorist not killed committing a terrorist attack will be gathered up with their family taken to the Gaza border and shoved over with the clothes on their backs never to return. The doors will be taken off their house and it will be looted by their neighbors. Done deal.

“Those who dislike the current government will blame the government, those who oppose the occupation will blame the occupation,” said one Israeli man. “It’s all meaningless.”

Pro-tip: Don’t make alliances with those that hate you.

A new immigrant from Moldova, a mother of two, said what’s happening “feels like something new, a different style of terror. Especially when you hear of terror attacks being carried out with firearms instead of knives. You’re never safe, not even in your car, as we saw with one of Tuesday night’s victims.”

She, like many Israelis, feels the blame lies with the police who “had no problem surveilling Israelis who might be positive for COVID-19. How are they oblivious to organized terror attacks?

Ohhh, now that’s a really good question. The police can track and trace innocent people suspected of the crime of having a 99+% survivable flu, but not terrorists. Perhaps they need to re-examine their priorities?

Another Israeli woman, strolling through a local Holon park with her granddaughter, said she feels the attacks are retaliation for Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s Negev summit, which took place earlier this week with ministers from Abraham Accords nations, Egypt and the US. “It agitates [the Palestinians]. On the other hand, we don’t invest in their education, their infrastructure. It turns Palestinians resentful toward us.”

Um, Ma’am, they get “education” oh yes indeedy they do. And like the American school system that is churning out kids that are groomed for depravity from kindergarten on up but can’t do math or science they know all 57 genders by third grade. Falestinian UN-schools have school books that teach Jews stole the land, and its good for Arabs to kill them, so yep you’re investing in their education, it’s just not the education you hoped for. Much like American parents who are waking up.

Others have already decided to take security into their own hands. A father in his 30s revealed he is one of the many Israelis who have filed a request for a license to carry firearms.

And this brings me back to the start of my column. Israel has very strict gun laws. Firearm Licensing Department This is in English, but like the Torah:

The information provided in English is for explanatory purposes only. In case of any discrepancy, the definitive and binding version is the Hebrew wording of the law or the information provided by the Ministry of Public Security in Hebrew.

Government policy doesn’t turn on a dime. But now Naftali Bennett, is telling people to carry, if they can.

“This is the time to carry a gun,” Bennett tells citizens of Israel

On an average day, the Israel Ministry of Public Security receives no more than 60 applications for gun licenses.

The day after the Beersheva stabbing, 244 applications were received.

The Hadera shooting, in which two Border Police officers were killed, prompted 433 Israelis to apply for gun licenses.

And following this latest attack in Bnei Barak, applications skyrocketed to over 900 in one day.

Sounds like a lot doesn’t it. They won’t all be granted though.

‘Carry Your Guns and Open Your Eyes,’ Bennett Tells Israelis

During the upcoming Islamic month-long holiday of Ramadan, which begins on Saturday, Palestinians traditionally ramp up their violent, unprovoked attacks on Israeli civilians. According to a Dutch study cited by the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, “Ramadan brought with it a 200% increase in terrorist attacks in Israel between 2005 and 2016.”

And Rama-Damn hasn’t even started.

Closing thoughts, for those that want to judge Israel severely, I point out in the past when there have been waves of condemnation towards Israel, similar things begin to happen to U.S. And with President Puddin’ Heads puppet masters planning to open the flood gates of illegal immigration there will soon be plenty of opportunity.

To the feckless Bennett, you knew they were snakes when you picked them up. Now everyone will suffer because of your desire to be PM. You call on everyday Israelis to solve the problem but you have them crippled with strict gun control laws. How do you expect that to work out? Thus the point in my platform; rifles, handguns and shotguns all have different purposes. Every Israeli (not household, each) citizen can be armed with no ammunition limit.

Both of our countries right now are being led by people that hate us, they say you get the government you deserve, and looking at all the craziness going on maybe so. But I didn’t think we’d been that bad. But, ultimately, it’s not what I think, it’s what G-d thinks. אין עוד מלבדו

I know, shocking that I’m not fielding phone calls from Israeli political parties isn’t it?

Purim 2022-The Hidden

Things that you may not be hearing on the corporate media, that might be worth hearing.

First note, that Epoch Times which is a pretty accurate source of news, is using data from the U.K. Why you ask? Because it more honest than what our taxpayer funded agencies dish out. Going way back to the start of the Covid-19 scam. They counted it as a Covid death if they died with Covid, not necessarily from Covid. But other countries followed ferret faced Fauxci’s lead.

9 in 10 COVID Deaths Are in Vaccinated People: Report

A report released by the UK government has confirmed that 9 out of every 10 deaths related to COVID-19 are found in those who are fully vaccinated. Although the virus variant is the same and the UK approved only one different vaccine (AstraZeneca) from the United States, the data in the U.S. are different. This may be due in large part to the CDC definition used to identify who is “vaccinated.”

U.S. data are also likely to become even more sparse in the coming weeks and months. In addition to the CDC hiding data, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) quietly decided in early February to stop recording deaths attributed to COVID-19.

Data Is Essential

Yet, data is the foundation of scientific analysis. Without it, researchers are unable to analyze statistics and draw conclusions, which leaves public health experts unable to make accurate recommendations. Knowledge gives you the power to make informed decisions based on evidence.

Data is essential, yes, yes it is. Knowing honest facts enable one to come to a correct opinion. Otherwise you are someone driving around in a car by yourself wearing a face diaper and re-breathing your own CO2.

Bioweapons labs in Ukraine

The truth is: Yes, there are indeed biological research facilities in Ukraine that have been funded by our government. We don’t have any way to know whether these facilities were conducting research that was intended to produce weapons or not, but we do know that if the pathogens housed in these facilities escaped, they would be just as deadly as as an intentionally produced bioweapon.

Something that should be frontline on every corporate media station but probably will never be. <This message is brought to you by Murderna and Lie-zer. So I have no clue why it isn’t. /sarcasm.

Chilling Pandemic Data from the Insurance Industry This article isn’t that long, worth reading. Why, it’s the very age of working people, people that could be forced to take a jab.

An Indiana-based life insurance company is expressing concern over a substantial rise in deaths in adults eighteen to sixty-four years old in 2021 that cannot be explained simply by covid infections themselves.

What else is hidden? This twitter thread covers many things. Digital currency, programmable digital currency. You thought you were going on a trip? The government says no, and your currency will not pay for that ticket. Quite simple, but it’s all to keep you “safe”, just like that 4th jab Lie-zer CEO is earnestly assuring U.S. is necessary. There are other things in the thread as well, like the WHO global pandemic treaty. Oh that should work out well. The World Homicide Organization, I don’t claim credit for the clever word play, that goes to Dr. Zev.

5 STORIES IGNORED BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA WHILE THEY FOCUS SOLELY ON UKRAINE

Hat tip to my buddy in Nicaragua on this one. And what are those 5 things?

FOIA Request Reveals Biden Admin Paid $1 Billion to Corporate Media Outlets to Push Covid Vaccines

Pfizer Data was Quietly Released Listing Well Over 1,200 Adverse Side Effects from the Covid Jab And that just in the first 55,000 pages release, much more to come. Despite their desire to keep the data hidden for 75 years.

State Agents Raid Preschools, Question Toddlers Without Parental Consent for Not Wearing Masks

As Gov’t Sends Billions to Ukraine, Millions of US Children are Being Pushed into Horrible Poverty

Biden Pushing Executive Orders to Make US Gun Owners Felons There will be no vote in Congress and you will have no say in the matter. Instead, Biden is ruling by executive decree.

In a bitter twist of irony, Ukrainians who are fighting so hard for freedom are about to be entrapped by the very government that went before congress to plead for more money and weapons to fight for freedom. With programmable digital currency, no less. Today the project ePidtrymka in the Diia application has officially launched – how to get UAH 1,000

I think you can pretty much figure everything the world’s governments are pushing their citizens to do is going to be bad for them.

For example those electric cars Ginger Goebbels and “Mayor” Pete Butterhead keep pimping. I won’t even get into the cost of those, monetary and evironmental. But since it has nothing to do with saving the planet, why might they be doing that?

Turned off

Oh, that’s why.

ABOUT ISRAEL BRINGING IN UKRAINIAN REFUGEES…

Well, seems to be a done deal. I don’t mean that our gov’t is composed of spineless weasels – that ship has sailed. But now we can expect an unlimited influx of non-Jewish Ukrainians, who have all of Europe to resettle in, and who don’t even pass the required Jewish grandfather clause to move to the one and only Jewish state of Israel. As long as they have some kind of relative living in Israel, the doors are opened to them. And no, having a relative in Israel does not make one Jewish. Plus, don’t think for one moment that if they want to come to Israel that it means they are not Jew-haters. Seriously? That’s almost funny.

One tiny Jewish nation in all of the world, and that’s one too many for some. One tiny country where no one is shocked there is no mass transit and stores aren’t open on Shabbat. One tiny nation where we can live according to G-d’s plan, and that’s one too many. One way or another the nations are determined to kill it, if they can’t in battle they will try from within. Just like the U.S. Our “leaders” and I use that term loosely have betrayed us. They are trying to destroy us from within.

And trying here would be the operative word. As I’ve been watching the dumpster fire known as the Xiden crime family’s administration I’m reminded of something I heard back before the elections. It was something I read, or something I heard. So if it was something I heard, it may have been from Rabbi Alon Anava’s interview with Tamar Yonah, but since this was in 2016 I don’t think this was it, but it’s still very good. https://israelnewstalkradio.com/tamar-yonah-show-nibiru-will-this-dwarf-star-wreak-havoc-on-earth-audio-🎧/

I think it may have come from this column ISRAELI MYSTIC ON ELECTION DAY: “TODAY FORMALLY ENDS THE AGE OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE”

I’ll tell you right up front it was a battle not to quote the whole column it was so good. It was written the day after the “election” but the interviews and comments took place before it. Let the quoting begin. It mentions a video, that has been removed by YouTube. Of course.

Very early in the lecture, Anava declared that, “This election is going to change the entire face of the planet.” …. After his introduction, he spent a considerable amount of time sharing multiple Torah codes related to the presidency of Donald J. Trump and the coronavirus. Most significantly, he explained a fundamental difference between the way Jews and Christians understand Biblical texts. “The whole Torah is coded,” he taught, referring to the Hebrew text. “Many messages are not written in the verses. The text is just the revealed part. Hidden in it are many other messages.” …. Anava referred to both President Trump and contender Joe Biden as “puppets” who will be fulfilling the will of God, whatever happens at the polls. “Regardless of who wins, the outcome will be the same because HaKadosh Baruch Hu (the Holy One, Blessed is He) is driving the train,” Anava asserted. “The whole system is set up to bring the country to civil war, martial law and the end of the US. Either way you look at it, it’s going to bring the country down.

“America is done. America is going to go down and with it, the entire world. Why? Because Hashem is preparing the entire world to bring His messiah – Moshaich ben David (Messiah, son of David) – to come and redeem the entire world, not only the Jews. “There cannot be a redemption if there are governments. There cannot be a redemption if there are world leaders. Moshiach is going to come and remove the world leaders, so it’s really irrelevant who is going to win. …. For Jews and non-Jews, Anava said that, “idolatry is not bowing down to idols. It’s putting your faith in anything but Hashem (such as governments or vaccines). We have to believe only in the Master of the Universe.” Using the coronavirus as an example of how important it is to rely only on God, Anava said, “He’s the One who brought the disease and He’s the One who is going to remove it.”

Then in the same article, they quote another Rabbi also from Tzfat, Chaim David Targan.

The day before the election, Targan wrote that, “Today formally ends the age of the American Empire. If Biden wins, like Rome, America will crash and burn. If Trump prevails, its age will end gracefully, transferring its power, authority and sovereignty fully to the leaders of the geula (redemption) and successfully and joyfully completing the Tikkun of Eisav (Esau’s rectification). This would be great joy to Washington, Jefferson and Adams, who created America through Torah Wisdom as a tikkun for Eisav.” Like Anava, Targan is saying that America’s days are numbered. He adds the nuance that, depending on who ultimately wins yesterday’s election, the end of America will come harshly (under Biden) or gently (under Trump).

Honest, I didn’t quote the whole thing, there’s more there to read! But when I first heard that before the elections it stuck with me. Maybe because Rabbi Anava was involved, and ever since Y.B. Ben Avram, another TZP writer sent me his YouTube story, and like Rabbi Lazer Brody I wanted to learn what they had to teach. But maybe because I knew it was true. I didn’t see how it could be quite the dumpster fire it has become, but apparently I just didn’t realize how much the Xiden crime family regime hated U.S. They tried to hide it.

And that brings me to hidden. Do you know what’s remarkable about the story of Purim? G-d’s name is not mentioned once in the Megillah. His face is hidden. All the events that saved us were not miracles in the classic Red Sea splitting sense. They were miracles of right place, right time, right clout. Such as the king, while he couldn’t change the decree to kill all the Jews, he made another decree the Jews should fight back and defend themselves. Which they did, quite well. But we don’t believe in coincidence, we know who runs this show. We know who created this world and who runs it. This is a fabulous, inspiring article Why Isn’t G‑d’s Name Mentioned in the Megillah? Give yourself a treat and read it.

And with that thought in mind, that it is G-d that runs this show, whether we see his hand in things or not, we do not fear. I admit, I struggle with this from time to time, and one of the things I hold on to is something else I learned from Y.B., Ayin Od Milvado. אין עוד מלבדו There are none beside him.

It is all G-d, all the time, even when we don’t see him and he chooses to remain hidden he is there and like a child calling for their father in the dark of night, he hears us.

A Prescription for No Fear

Our Torah tells you that you must not fear. Even if an army is charging towards you, you must not fear. For there is no danger worse than fear. But you are only human. Do you truly have control over the dread and panic pounding in your heart? Yes. Not directly, but through the power of your mind. If you will choose not to dwell on those things that instill panic and dread, those emotions will wither and fade. And the choice is yours. What do you want to speak about? What do you want to think about? For the thoughts of your mind are the conduit of life for the emotions of your heart.

Even when we can’t see him or his strong right arm in the events or people, אין עוד מלבדו

Something else I learned from Y.B.

Tikvah (Hope)

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been looking at my country and it seems to be on a path towards disaster. And it’s not really like “Wow, who could have seen that coming?” It not like it should be a surprise to anyone that Biden, and the people really behind the curtain are communists. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and there are duck feathers everywhere, it’s a duck.

My best friend was telling me about her cousin who didn’t want to vote for President Trump because he wrote mean tweets and she didn’t like the way he talked. Biden was a moderate she says. I asked my friend if she tried to explain to her cousin what was coming. She said she did, and her cousin told her to watch cnn and she’d “feel better”. I asked my friend how being lobotomized was suppose to make anything any better?

We have someone in the White House who allows a fence around the capitol to keep legislators safe while disposing of the ones meant to keep regular American citizens safe. Because they’re important, and you and your family aren’t. As he promised, he is raising taxes. As he promised he is importing millions of illegal invaders to compete with American citizens for the now fewer jobs since he made petrol more available, at a lower price to China while the American citizen will now pay more for heating, and transportation. As promised, he’s getting rid of the Keystone pipeline and banning fracking. So hard to believe that Pennsylvania went for that, but hey, Biden won, right?

American Covid relief? Naw, not so much. More important to see to that Pakistani gender confusion thing, and pay for abortions in other countries, that’s called women’s access to health care.

Covid Stimulus distribution

And seeing as how Biden is a globalist kind of guy I’m guessing he is in perfect agreement with the “World Economic Forum” goals for 2030, which is 9 years from now. Included in with other goals, no one owns any private property and there is no privacy.

The main thrust of the forum is global control. Free markets and individual choice do not stand as the top values, but state interventionism and collectivism. Individual liberty and private property are to disappear from this planet by 2030 according to the projections and scenarios coming from the World Economic Forum.

All pretty ugly. You can read more about the goals in the link. But my point with all this, is these are things Biden said he was going to do. Some claim they didn’t know about the Hunter Biden laptop, and investigations. If not, why not? Why don’t you know? And if you’ve been listening to a station that lied to you, especially knowingly, are you still listening? Why?

Now before the election he didn’t want to “rule” by Exec Order, now he’s totally fine with it. In fact, I’d say we could get our tax dollars back that pay congress because we don’t need them anymore. Biden is going to rule by executive fiat, as best as I can tell. If that’s a fair way to articulate that. If not I’ll have to circle back to you on it.

But John Green says my approach is unfair. I say he’s being too kind. Everyone should have know Biden ushers in the full blown communism the democrats have longed for. John Green says Blame the Press. Ok, fine the press certainly did protect the communist objective, the old Pravda would be proud. But still, when the reason someone voted for communism over freedom is “Trump sent mean tweets and I don’t like the way he talked” I have no sympathy for you. I have sympathy for those of us that will suffer from your stupidity. I listened to a radio show this morning and the host (a refugee from Russia) talked about some bottom feeding 18 year old that turned her mother in for going to the January 6th rally. Not to riot, just to be there. And the little swine turned her mother and her uncle in to the FBI for going to the rally. The host said America has reached it’s Pavlik Morozov moment. She should know. Again, if it were just Biden voters that would suffer from this I’d not complain a bit, but it is all of U.S. and I’m not all that sure we will survive.

Then there is HR 127, as it’s noted on ZeroHedge H.R. 127: A New Bill In Congress Would Literally End Your 2nd Amendment Rights Permanently

If a new bill that has been introduced in Congress eventually becomes law, the 2nd Amendment will still be in the U.S. Constitution, but for all practical purposes the rights that it is supposed to guarantee will be dead and gone. H.R. 127 was submitted on January 4th, and if you have not read it yet you can find the full text right here. It contains a lot of technical language, and so in this article I am going to try to break down what it means very simply. Now that the Democrats control the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, there is going to be a major push to ram through some form of gun control legislation. If it is not this bill, it will be another one, so we need to be diligent.

One of the biggest things that H.R. 127 would do is that it would create a national firearms registration system that would literally be accessible by anyone

HR 127 establishes a federal firearms registration system that will be accessible by federal, state, and local governments, including the military – even the GENERAL PUBLIC! The system will track the make, model, and serial number of all firearms, their owners, the dates they were acquired, and where they are being stored.

So if your neighbor, a co-worker, or someone that just wanted to rob your home wanted to know how you were armed, all they would have to do would be to look it up in the firearms registration system.

Did you get the “By anyone” bit? Antifa, blm, neighborhood Karen in your homeowners association. What guns you have and where they are stored. How special.

So, we need some hope and some operating suggestions. Operating suggestions first.

I saw Scott Presler on an episode of War Room (with Steve Bannon as opposed to War Room with Jim Quinn) Scott is a dynamo. He was talking strategy with Steve about Republican weakness. So first he shared this presentation about voter registration.

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1KuPUHfSqKIoSCoXem4AEAizvRJzyxtpbhdN57UA5ccA/edit#slide=id.g461d90cc74_0_0

Get it before Google figures out they are helping conservatives.

Then we have to look at Election Integrity legislation. Scott also shared a presentation on this.

We need this even more since Pelosi is attempting to make legal all the voter fraud they committed in 2020. If all the irregularities of 2020 were already “legal” why do they now have to pass a law to make them “legal” and the usual practice from now on?

In addition to those arrows in a quiver, we have got to get good strong legislators at the state level. I mean rock ribbed conservatives. Not Mitt Romneys, or McConnells, Murkowskis or Cheneys. Years ago I had a conversation with the man that would become my state senator for years. He was one of the finest politicians I’ve known. A genuinely good man, and a good human. But when we talked initially I told him, we can’t afford another mistake. Those that tell us they are for us, and are conservative and then they vote leftist. We can’t afford one single one more. I’m guessing he sees what I meant back then. So we’ve got to have strong representation on the state level. This column is well worth the read, it gives an accounting of where we stand by states.

Now We’ve Got Them Right Where We Want Them

So, what is the left’s position now? They lost seats in Congress. Even more significant, they lost power in state governments. These are the same state bodies that are going to reapportion congressional districts this year. They’ve exposed their true nature to all Americans. Through their actions over the last year, they’ve revealed themselves to be petty, vindictive, dishonest autocrats. It is not an attractive look. They’ve also exposed all of their covert operators. The media, tech oligarchs, and faceless bureaucrats have taken sides — and now we know it. Much of their power came from secrecy, which they no longer have. All of this was sacrificed to drag a demented, racist has-been across the finish line. President Asterisk enters office in the weakest position of any president in recent history. We’re not at the dawn of the left’s ascendancy. They have peaked. They’re spent. I’m sure they’re not done fighting, but their strategic position is not something to envy. It’s doubtful they can retain power.

However, what conservatives have is quite formidable. We have over 75 million followers. That number is our floor, not our ceiling. Our ranks are growing every day.

All of it is good and worth reading.

And then there is Jay Valentine. This guy is an industrial strength data wonk.

You Know There Was Industrial-Scale Election Fraud. What Can Be Done?

Children are also born with a sense of justice. It is inherent, innate, in there somewhere. Everyone, or about everyone, has it. Angry voices make them cry. Witnessing someone harming an animal is horrible to them. It should remain so. Something immediately angers a child when someone cuts in line.

That innate sense of justice, right and wrong, is why you remain tense and your spouse tells you so. It is why you just cannot get over it.

There’s another reason. It is uglier…..

What’s really different about the 2020 election fraud is that it has such profound ramifications. It is not ending — the fraud is initiating the destruction of your worldview: of your faith and patriotism. It doesn’t have an endpoint.

The country as you know it is about to change in ways unimaginable to you a year ago. This was not just an election; it was a change of course that may make your country unrecognizable in four years. And you know it was stolen.

Now Jay Valentine has done something really really cool. He started sorting data, and compiling election data into categories that could be searched with a simple button push on a web site. This is already underway in case you’re interested. So for example, one query “ballots received before being mailed”, you can push one button on a screen with that query and you will be told about 30,000 ballots were received before they were mailed. Another query they are making a button for is “ballots sent and received in 24 and 48 hours”. Really they have a lot of fabulous ideas for buttons and anyone will be able to go there and watch the data form up.

How’s “people who voted and do not live in the state,” or “people who voted and are dead”? Maybe “people who voted more than once”? And the real clincher: “people who voted and live in a vacant lot”? Using Google maps, we even show a photo of the empty lot, which is really cool. Who knows? You may be someone who says he lives at that address.

The point to this being, people have been so cowed by the demoncrats and the MSM that this allows them to filter out the liars and just look and figure things out for themselves based on data. I mean how bad is it when NewsMax has Mike Lindell on to talk about being censored and the little cnn wannabe talking head NewsMax had on proceeded to censor Mike Lindell? Because he said something about voter fraud. This will allow people to bypass that and see for themselves. He says he’s going to call it “Fun with 2020 election fraud” or something along those lines. I can’t wait till that is available! Of course, I’m worried it will be censored. But going back to having strong state legislatures, should be some protections. Talk about a way to de-fang the media. When people can find out for themselves the magnitude of voter fraud…of course, the longer the communists are in control the more (normal) people will want their country back. The average leftist will be fine with communism.

So back to strong state legislatures, for example, in Missouri there is a state senator who has proposed a bill to allow legal protection for those under attack by a mob to legally defend themselves by running over them or using deadly force. I mean over the last year how many people have we seen dragged from their cars or recordings of terrified women calling the police only to be told that the “activists” were allowed by the police to riot there. Poor woman begging for help because she has her daughter in the car with her. It seems many of the police departments and politicians have no interest in the law abiding citizens who just want to get to work or go home. So kudos to the Missouri senator who cares about the law abiding citizens. Another story out of Missouri is also dealing with mindset.

Ok, the comments on the shops FakeBook page listed in the article are worth the read alone. But it goes to mindset. We need to be supportive of shops like Trigger and supportive of politicians like Sen. Rick Brattin. On my personal wish list for ages has been a “Firearms Freedom Act” like Montana and Wyoming. That’s one of those laws that when you really really need it, it’s too late to get it. State sovereignty, that’s where it’s at. Just an interesting FYI, I understand the gun rights activist who helped get Wyoming’s FFA passed is now a state senator and planning on primaring Liz Cheney. Hope he kicks her butt.

There are a LOT of us, and they know that. They want us demoralized and hopeless. But in legitimate elections, in legitimate counties you don’t have tanks, and soldiers everywhere around the capital. You do in banana republics that fear being “Gaddafi-ed”.

So take a look at the presentations Scott Presler shared on War Room. Keep your eyes open for Jay Valentine’s fun query web site.

And the last thing I’ll point out is the parsha last week was Beshalach, and includes the parting of the Reed Sea. The people had four different responses to being trapped between the oncoming Egyptian army thundering towards them and the sea.

4 thought processes
Reasoning

Yes, G-d fought for them, but action was required on their part. As the people stood there in their four different states of mind, there was one, a prince from the tribe of Judah, the brother in law of Aaron, Nachshon.

The order was given to go forward, sea or no sea. But who would make the first move? At that moment, Nachshon’s devotion and bravery came to the fore. The Midrash and Talmud share the following account:

When Israel stood facing the Sea of Reeds, and the command was given to move forward, each of the tribes hesitated, saying, “We do not want to be the first to jump into the sea.”

Nachshon saw what was happening—and jumped into the sea.

At that moment Moses was standing and praying. G‑d said to him, “My beloved ones are drowning in the stormy seas, and you are standing and praying?”

Moses replied, “Master of the world, what am I to do?”

Said G‑d, “You lift your staff and spread your hand over the seas, which will split, and Israel will come into the sea upon dry land.”

And so it was. Following Nachshon’s lead, the Israelites entered the sea and were saved.

Yes, G-d fought for them, but action was required on their part. Let us all be as Nachshon and move forward.

Wake Up, We Are At War

Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our Founding Fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It’s up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well—by creating the international child of the future.”1

Chester M. Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychiatry, Harvard University

There is a threat posed to human freedom by the enormous power of the modern state. History teaches the dangers of government that overreaches—political control taking precedence over free economic growth, secret police, mindless bureaucracy, all combining to stifle individual excellence and personal freedom.”2

Ronald Reagan

As I write these words, premeditated illegal aliens, hoping to become legal aliens under Joebama’s planned amnesty, amass at America’s southern border.3 They are colonists, not immigrants. Visit any number of “Little Italy’s” in America’s cities. You find Italian flags, food, music, and some people still speaking the old tongue, but it will have a distinctly American feel. The ebb and flow of life is pure Americana. Not so with more recent “immigrants”. They colonize areas to which they migrate transforming them into the places from whence they came. Visit California and you will understand. Colonization, not assimilation.

Prior to the “election”, Republicans from Sean Hannity to President Donald Trump warned that Democrats were “radical” and “extreme” socialists different from previous party liberals. They made a mistake in the first case and were wrong in the second. Calling liberal Democrats radical socialists was preaching to the choir. They already knew this. Republicans needed to reach the average American. Those who attended public schools. Teachers often do not explain what socialism is nor its long tragic history. Instead of labels and name calling, Republicans needed to make the case that socialism destroys economies, destroys freedom, renders people subjects not citizens, and why. Are contemporary liberal Democrats more socialistic than party liberals of yore?

Beginning with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, liberals transformed America into a “Welfare State”. “The premise of the welfare state is the federal government is basically responsible for the material well-being of the American people”4, which, of course, flies in the face of constitutionally limited government. Programs falling under the welfare-state umbrella include poverty assistance, food stamps, medical insurance, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, bank and business bailouts, college tuition subsidies, and so forth. The “federal” government funds these programs by transferring the income from those who produced it to those who did not. However, this is not socialism, right?

As defined by two former adherents, socialism is “The economic system” in which “human” and “material resources” are managed and controlled by a relatively small group of people according to their view of a common good. The difference between socialism and capitalism is, in the former, the few make economic decisions, in the latter, private individuals do.5 Karl Marx, author of the Communist Manifesto wrote, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs”.6 When government takes resources, whether corporate or individual, by force, and transfers them to those with lesser resources, they are acting out Marx’s maxim. “Recipients of entitlement spending, whether Social Security benefits, Medicaid, or food stamps, have property rights to income that takes precedence over the property rights of those who produce the income”.7 If a government owns material resources and controls their distribution to effect a desired outcome with respect to the material “well-being” of the people, it is a socialist system. If another government takes by force, through taxation, fees, and import duties, the material resources of corporations and individuals, transferring them to businesses and people to whom they do not belong, in order to effect a desired outcome, this too is a form of socialism. The difference being, in the latter case, private individuals still own the resources. However, since the purpose and outcome for both, determined by the few, is largely the same, the difference is in degree.8

Franklyn Roosevelt’s use of centralized top down economic decision-making to “manage” private resources led to a wholesale takeover by government. This is socialism. At the end of W.W. II, President Truman issued executive orders to seize private businesses “including a coal mine, three oil refineries, an airport, cotton mills, a railroad, the Chicago cab industry, and a rubber plant”. He asserted presidents had constitutional authority to take over private industries during emergencies. Democrats had used W.W. II to force Americans to accept government regimentation of all aspects of their lives. Nevertheless, Truman and New Deal Democrats were wrong on all counts. What they promoted was unconstitutional. After the war, Truman pushed socialized medicine, government control over prices and wages, and even threatened to draft striking coal miners into the U.S. Army if they did not go back to work.9 Lyndon Johnson’s implementation of socialist Great Society Programs would take pages just to list. How are these liberals different from those who Republicans call “radical socialists” in the modern Democrat Party? The difference is in what liberals can get away with now versus then.

Instead of fighting Democrat socialists tooth and nail for the past decades, Republicans waxed sanguine over compromise with their “friends across the aisle”. How is someone determined to destroy the religious and cultural way of life of others, their friend? How does one compromise with those whose lifegoal is to destroy the Constitution and Bill of Rights? They are not your friends. They are at war with you. Through use of language, liberals spill the beans.

First, as a policeman in California’s radical Bay Area, and later as a public high school teacher in a socialIST studies department, I was the target of numerous unprovoked and unsolicited debates with liberals. They typically took the form of hit-and-run verbal attacks. From these experiences, I reached two conclusions. First, liberals tend to use “Republican” and “conservative” interchangeably as if synonymous. Second conservatives and especially Republicans do not appear to grasp they are in a war with liberals for the fate of liberty. Their attitude toward political defeat is similar to losing a baseball game; “We lost today but we’ll get them the next time”. Could such naïve attitudes explain Republican’s lack of support for President Trump in the face of the nation’s first coup? The struggle to preserve and regain lost freedom is not a sporting event. There will be no rematch, no comeback, and no tomorrow.

The term “conservative” represents an ideology based on a shared set of cohesive and interrelated economic, philosophical, political, and social norms grounded in Judeo-Christian principles.10 Republican on the other hand refers to a political party. Parties are “a group of citizens organized to win elections, control government, and set public policy”.11 The latter lacks the ideological underpinnings of the former. In general, conservatives believe rights are inviolate bestowed on people by G-d as stated in the Declaration of Independence.12 Conservatives embrace the Founder’s cornerstones of American democracy: individual liberty, limited government, representative democracy, and rule of law.13 Liberal’s misuse of terminology and assumption that conservative and Republican are synonymous is autobiographical. It reveals that, for them, ideology and political party are inseparable. They assume Republicans are doctrinaire conservatives because so many Democrats are doctrinaire liberals. They hate Republicans not because they are rivals for political power but because they are engaged in an ideological war and assume Republicans are as well. However, this is not the case.

For example, George Bush 41 let Americans down as much as Bill Clinton did with respect to onerous gun-control laws. Bush 43 stated he would sign a so-called “assault weapons” ban if it reached his desk.14 Former Massachusetts Republican Governor Mitt Romney supported abortion, homosexual “marriage” (sic), gun control, and state mandated health insurance, positions no conservative could ever embrace. Since the 1960s, liberals have worked to wed leftist ideology to the Democrat Party until they are one and the same. Historian John Dziak notes that the conjoining of a political party with the state (government) led to the creation of a security state in the former Soviet Union. It was obsessed with protecting its power and rule through the identification of enemies, “real or notional, and then destroying them.” It created a security service that “penetrated and permeated all societal institutions” including education, mass media, and the military. From the Cheka to the KGB, it was ruthless and driven to find and destroy all “enemies”.15 Liberals used to make thinly veiled suggestions that conservatives were crypto-Nazis. Now, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Sandy Cortez, Kali Harris, CNN, the New York Times, and many others are out of the closet asserting conservatives are Klansmen, Nazis, and vile racists, enemies America must destroy. Thin veils are gone.

David Horowitz contends that, until the ascendancy of George McGovern in the Democrat Party (1972), American political contests between Democrats and Republicans were non-ideological family feuds. This changed in the late 1960s when the counterculture Left took control of and reshaped the Democrat Party in its own image. He argues the Democrat Party is now almost indistinguishable from the traditional left-wing parties of Europe that made up the “Second Socialist International”. American liberals in general view rights as creations of government a view shared by European socialists. They reject the principle of limited government as well as the contractual nature of the Constitution. What the liberal media refers to as a “culture war” represents a conservative reaction to the Left’s assault against the Republic’s founding principles. Nevertheless, conservatives, especially those calling themselves Republicans, do not realize they are in a war according to Horowitz.16 Country club blue-blood Republicans from Theodore Roosevelt, Nelson Rockefeller, both President Bush’s, and Mitt Romney appear to view the Republican Party simply as a vehicle through which they can express their sense of noblesse oblige (nobility obligates). It is their duty to govern by virtue of their aristocratic birth. Ideology plays no role in their motivation to seek office. To win elections they are forced to associate with undesirables in the Republican Party; farmers, blue-collar workers, Christians, pro-lifers, 2nd Amendment advocates, supporters of traditional marriage, NASCAR-types, and the sort who shop at Bass Pro. Once elected, the blue bloods are free to disassociate from the rabble until the next election cycle. Laura Ingraham writes that many Republicans look down “on socially conservative, middle-class Americans as being too radical and hard-edged”. She calls them elitists and notes they “pride themselves on their ‘moderation’ ‘pragmatism’ and ability to forge ‘bipartisan agreements with their ‘good friends’ the Democrats.” She names Senators Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins as examples of liberal Republicans who demonstrate their sophistication and fair-mindedness by agreeing with the liberal Democrat agenda.17 I could add to this list many other names. How are Republicans, doormats for Democrats, a viable alternative?

When Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the White House, they will be free to implement their three-pronged strategy to remake America in their socialist image and leave Republicans a permanent minority party. They will continue to neutralize conservatives through smear and slander campaigns rendering traditional Judeo-Christian moral values socially unacceptable. Liberals will denature the Republican Party by convincing them election of another Reagan is impossible. Instead, they must nominate “moderate” Republicans (liberals on the installment plan) to have any chance of winning the White House. This will kill support among real Americans for the Republican Party. Democrats will pass far-reaching socialistic legislation to further American dependency on the government guaranteeing Democrat rule in perpetuity. People will vote Democrat or risk losing goodies such as “free” healthcare. In addition, their assault on conservative radio and social media will escalate. Their listeners represent what former Maryland Governor Spiro T. Agnew called the “silent majority”.18 If liberals can discredit these spokesmen for conservatism, their voice and influence will disappear.

Former Connecticut Republican Congressman Chris Shays built a long career of bipartisanship by aping his liberal Democrat colleagues. Earning a lifetime score of only 44% from the American Conservative Union before he was retired, Shays told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that the Republican Party should broaden its base to include so-called moderates and liberals. Is he an Episcopalian? He added that former Vice President Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh should not be deciding who is or is not a good Republican and that Colin Powell was indeed “a good Republican for a long time”.19 After “good Republican”, Colin Powell turned on John McCain and endorsed Democrat Barack Obama he hit the speaking circuit with further denunciations of conservatives. He warned Republicans must broaden their party’s philosophical message meaning, become liberals. When asked by Bob Schieffer to respond to Limbaugh’s claim he was really a Democrat, Powell stated, “Republicans would be better off if they didn’t have Rush Limbaugh out speaking for them”.20 Regrettably, President Reagan appointed classroom Lt. General Colin Powell to deputy national security adviser in 1987.21 George W. Bush later appointed Powell to be Secretary of State. David Frum, liberal’s favorite “conservative Republican”, (who came out in support of homosexual marriage and voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016), jumped on the bandwagon with Powell and Shays. He agreed with Obama Chief of Staff and former Clinton hatchet man Rahm Emmanuel that Limbaugh is aggressive, bombastic, has a history of bad marriages, is a fat drug addict, and now is the head of the Republican Party. He accused Rush of wanting the party to lose because this will somehow increase his control over them. He advised Republicans to “modulate” their “social conservatism” meaning silencing the voices of Christians, pro-lifers, and those who support Biblical “marriage”.22 In short, faux conservatives like Shays, Powell, and Frum pushed to transform the Republican into the Democrat-Party Lite. Democrats fight for what they believe in and Republicans help them. Perhaps Republicans forget Reagan won two terms as Governor of a liberal state. When he ran for president, Reagan refused to modulate his conservative message that government was the problem not the solution and won two-landslide elections in the process.

I have no doubt Democrats rigged the 2020 presidential election and, through massive fraud and ballot stuffing, stole it from Donald Trump. It represents the first Lain American style coup in U.S. history. Americans are witnessing a political party, in cahoots with an entrenched bureaucracy, State media, and Big Tech, successfully depose an elected president. If Americans do not take a stand, if they do nothing, it is over. My respect for this country, its institutions, and neighbors will be gone. It will be time to furl the flag. If I am correct about them, Republicans will cast about for a Mitt Romney, Nikki Haley type “me-too” Republican for 2024. They will work behind the scenes to silence Trump supporters and his influence from the party…forever.

The Good German

The good German is a term that refers to the German citizens that claimed not to know what was taking place during the holocaust, those that claimed the didn’t support the nazis although they did nothing to resist and those that later claimed they were just following orders.

It seems these days were are seeing a resurgence of the “Good German” syndrome.

In Michigan, scene of many days and nights of rioting by blm and antifa, police were ineffective, called off or just stood down. But when it came time for the GOP electors to enter the capitol to cast their votes the state police bravely stood their ground against law-abiding citizens refusing to let them enter to cast their votes. MICHIGAN: State Police BLOCK Trump Electors From Capitol, ‘Contact The Governor’s Office’

“The Capitol is closed,” said the Michigan State Police officer.

In a second video, an elector approaches the officer with a folder in his hand. He explains to the officer that GOP electors are “also on the Governor’s certificate of ascertainment.” The officer interrupted him and said “I’m not going to get into a political debate.”

“It’s the official sealed document, the certificate of ascertainment has also the GOP electors, they are here. They are trying to do their constitutional duty and their constitutional duty requires them to be at the Senate chamber today at 2pm. They are here,” said the GOP elector.

“If you have a problem, you can contact the Governor’s office.” State Police block access to the Capitol for the Trump electors, giving no reason for why the building is locked down & redirecting inquiries to Governor Whitmer’s office #Michigan #ElectoralCollege #Lansing pic.twitter.com/wqdPfpMC7H

— Brendan Gutenschwager (@BGOnTheScene) December 14, 2020

The officer still refused to let them enter, providing no reason. “You’d have to ask the Governor’s office,” said the officer.

Yep, just “doing his job”.

The same in Oregon, Explosive Scene at Oregon State Capitol: Riot Declared, MRAPs and Pepper Spray Deployed Those stalwarts of law-enforcement are fearless….when it comes to law-abiding citizens who are trying to make their voices heard without burning down or destroying other people’s property. With them, rubber bullets or pepper spray can be deployed.

In Israel recently there was a variation of this. A group of Jewish youth from Tekoa in Judea were suspected by police of throwing stones at Arab cars. In their zeal to prove that the Israeli police do not favor Jews, and boy howdy do they prove that on a regular basis, they took off after the group of teenagers. The police were driving so erratically they almost caused a head on collision with another car. They ended up by chasing down the car with the Jewish youth, and it rolled over killing Ahuvya Sandak. His friends may now be charged with manslaughter. Because the police chased their car down, they crashed and now these friends and fellow victims of the police may be charged with manslaughter. Initially the police denied they hit their car, but evidence proved they were lying. One of the people that has been helping the family is Rabbi Gadi Ansbacher. He is the father of Ori Ansbacher HY”D. He made the point that when a Jew is murdered, it is sad but the police don’t seem to get worked up about it. Ori’s murder was very horrific. But suspect religious Jewish youth of being the ones throwing stones at arab cars and boy howdy, they are going to town over that one. Just a note, there was a protest in Jerusalem with about 2,000 protesters, and yet nothing was burned down, no riots and Jerusalem is still standing. #JewishLivesMatter

Then there is the Washington DC Police. As I noted in another column WATCH: D.C. Cops Direct Trump-Supporters into Gauntlet of Protesters, Do Nothing When They Are Assaulted the DC police not only don’t serve and protect, they enable violence against conservatives. #ConservativeLivesMatter.

It seems the people the government version of the “good Germans” just following orders are willing to use violence against tend to be law abiding, inoffensive and just believe they have a Constitutional right to free speech. I don’t know wherever they got that idea.

So when Duke Nuke ‘em Swalwell talks about using nuclear weapons on American citizens? He meant it. Yeah, he said he was joking. But considering he was sleeping with the enemy, a Chinese spy/prostitute, I’m pretty sure he meant it. Is anyone surprised nutty Nancy Pelosi sees no problem with him remaining on the intelligence committee? Because to the Demoncratic-Socialist party American citizens are viewed as worker drones, they are to be brought to heel (under it preferably) and provide them with the money they need to accomplish their plans. They will be bled dry by increasing taxes to do so. Now what’s it called when you work but don’t get to keep any of the money you earn? #AmericanLivesMatter.

A comparison of voters and rallies.

You know, upwards of 74 million people voted for President Trump. We’ve seen politicians betray us, we’ve seen the justice (HA) system betray us, we’ve seen the Supreme Court betray us. We’ve heard the reports of ballots being shipped in during the middle of the night, ballots being pulled out of suitcases, and machines who “lost” votes. We’ve seen the cnn graphic change with President Trump having less votes than a moment before. We’ve heard people who ought to know better say there was no clear cut evidence of voter fraud. And, maybe they do know better. They just don’t let it interfere with what is going to pay them off. Corrupt Judges that should have recused themselves, such as Stacy Abrams sister, are allowed to rule in election cases. At every turn millions of Americans who have played by the rules most of their lives are watching some bizarre nightmare play out on TV screens across America. They rallied for President Trump through the summer and fall, and consequently a few other Republicans along the way. They had floatillas and car parades, they took people to vote, they did everything they were suppose to do. And they know from the different evidence they’ve seen there was widespread cheating and lying from both sides against the candidate that has done more for America rather than to America in a good long while. Then we watch at first in bafflement, then shock, then horror and now anger as there is no justice. There are no penalties for lying, cheating, stealing, being a traitor. And these elitist republicans and demoncrat-socialist are going to try to rule over 74 million patriots who know they’ve been sold out. Well, guess we’ll see how that goes.

Retreat Compromise, Fall Back Accommodate, Rout Surrender

Liberal media’s bouffant coxcomb chattering class bemoans the fact most women elected to Congress are Democrats thereby suggesting Republicans are the party of sexist misogynists as claimed by bitter harridan Hillary Clinton. It is true most women in Congress are Democrats1 but what the princes of pompous pontification ignore is Republican women often lose to Democrat males in general elections. It’s not Republicans voting against them. Genitalia plays no part in my voting. I’d climb over a pile of limp celery stick Republican males like Kit Bond, John McCain, Jeff Flake, John Kasich, Mitt Romney, and Pot-Peddler John Boehner any day to vote for a Phyllis Schlafly.2 Female Republican candidates are likely to be conservative, a serious enough offense, but worse, some commit the unpardonable sin according to Leftist Holy Writ; they are Christians. Against this horrific threat, the Democrat Party Machine swings into action deploying its myrmidons; Hollywood’s Big Donors, spokesboob actors and actresses, radical environmentalists (Crypto-Marxists), feminists (Crypto-Marxists), radicalized college youth (Crypto-Marxists), liberal media, and union and race voters. Blacks and Hispanics in large urban areas typically vote against one of their own if she is a Republican. And who are the misogynists?

Liberals have accused conservative males debating liberal females of “picking on the girl” if they “come on too strong”. Just ask Rick Lazio who lost to Hillary Clinton in their New York Senate race (2000).3 Conservative males now face an additional quandary. Do they “go easy” on liberal males in political debates? After all, with liberals, you never know when ‘he’ might come out a ‘she’. Lest anyone consider this an attack against Democrats on behalf of Republicans, read on.

Conservative radio talk show host Joe Pags recently interviewed Texas Republican Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick (23 September, 2019) about the latter’s support for universal background checks. Patrick proclaimed fidelity to the Second Amendment with a ‘but’…an affirmation followed by an equivocation is a negation…as was the case. Sure enough, Patrick argued in favor of total, 100%, universal background checks (UBC’s). His rationale was, since 90% of guns purchased already involve a background check, what’s the harm in extending it to the remaining 10%? In support of his proposal, Patrick claimed the people now avoiding background checks, presumably his 10%, do so because they cannot legally buy firearms. He said UBC’s would end this practice.4

Next Patrick asserted “gun-merchants” are getting rich selling firearms to persons who cannot legally buy them charging $4000 dollars for a $2000 dollar gun. Because of their ineligible status, “customers” have no choice but to pay huge markups. Patrick said UBC’s would shut these gun merchants down. In addition, he declared UBC’s would also stop and end public mass shootings because they would prevent the mentally ill from buying guns. Patrick believes suspects in recent mass shootings were legally able to buy guns even though health officials had adjudicated them to be mentally unfit. When Joe Pags (Pagliarulo) observed Second Amendment “hard-liners” might object to Patrick’s proposal, the Lieutenant Governor said the Second Amendment guarantees people the right to “bear” not “sell” their guns.5 Wow. Where to start? Trying to follow Patrick’s “logic” is like untangling twine after an explosion in a string factory.

If an unknown number of people are not subject to background checks, how does Patrick know what percentage are, let alone 90%? What is 90% of an unknown number? Is this the “new math?” He didn’t say. Private transfers between family members, friends, and acquaintances are not subject to background checks and hence not recorded. Again, how can Patrick quantify an unknown quantity? This is an important question because he grounds support for UBC’s on the claim since so many people are already subject to background checks, no one would notice if extended to the rest. Sort of like being covered with poison ivy and getting one more bump. Even if Patrick’s numbers are correct, when has the “everyone else is doing it” ever been a compelling argument? Would it be valid to argue, because government has suppressed 90% of American’s First Amendment rights, what is the harm in surrendering the rest? At the risk of being crass, would a rescuer tell the victim of a shark attack; “Well, he got most of your leg so, you might as well let him have the rest”? Imagine its pre-W.W. II Berlin. Jacob hears a harsh banging on his door. He opens it to find goons standing there dressed in black uniforms trimmed in ominous silver runes.

“Your guns, give them to us now!” barks one of the goons.

“But why, gun ownership is legal” responds Jacob.

“Ninety percent of the other Jews have handed theirs over. What could be the harm if you do too?” says the goon.

If the people surrender any portion of a right to the government, will government ever cede it back? Would not any rationale for the government to seize a portion of a right also be equally compelling with respect to it taking the rest? Ten percent of a bad idea is still a bad idea let alone ninety percent.

I wish Pags had asked Patrick how UBC’s would force ineligible persons to submit to background checks. If a person is ineligible, they are ineligible. Most criminals obtain firearms through the black and secondary markets. This includes theft and straw purchases wherein eligible individuals buy firearms on behalf of those who are not. Who are Patrick’s “gun-merchants”? If he knows, why doesn’t he alert the Texas Department of Public Safety? Those willing to break the law selling contraband, be it untaxed cigarettes, bootleg music CDs, drugs, guns, and so forth, have and always will regardless of prohibitions and legal sanctions. Experience, history, and the facts contradict Patrick’s arguments. How could the number two man in the Texas Republican Party make such an ill-conceived and dangerous argument?

Contrary to what Patrick believes, the law already prohibits individuals from buying or possessing firearms if the Courts and or mental health officials have determined them to be mentally “defective”. In addition, the law requires officials to report such adjudications to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Anyone purchasing a firearm through an FFL is required to fill out form 4473. This an affidavit swearing they do not fit in any prohibited class listed on the form (felons, domestic abusers, illegal aliens, drug users, mentally unfit, etc.). Lying on this form is a felony. The FFL then calls the FBI’s NICS who determine if the customer is eligible to purchase the firearm. How does Texas’ Lieutenant Governor not know this? If individuals, barred by law from buying firearms, resort to the black market already operating outside the law, how would they be stopped by universal background checks?

I like Joe Pags but have to ask; what is a Second Amendment “hardliner?” Are they people who believe in an individual right to keep and bear arms, that the Second Amendment means what it says, and that one cannot compromise rights endowed by G-d? ? I’m a homicide hardliner. I reject exceptions to laws prohibiting anyone from illegally taking my life. Am I extreme? Liberals use “hardliner” to cast opponents as unreasonable in order to soften up the rest of gun owners to accept compromises. With all gun laws, each compromise leads to a diminution of rights.

According to Patrick, although the Second Amendment guarantees a right to keep and bear arms, those arms are not your private property. If one does not have the right to sell his or her property, then someone else does. Who is that? Government? If the latter, your arms must belong to them. The Declaration states people have a right to life and it is a gift from G-D, not one created by man or his laws. Inherent in this right is also a right to the means to protect it. The Fourth and Fifth Amendments recognizes the individual’s absolute right to own private property and dispose of it as they see fit. Firearms are private property. Crypto-Confiscationists argue, however, because firearms possess an intrinsic potential for lethality, exceptions to Second Amendment and property rights are valid. Baseball bats, knives, ice picks, meat cleavers, hammers, hatchets, axes, arrows, staves, and so forth also possess intrinsic lethal potential. This is no facetious comparison. The FBI reports that murderers kill more people with knives, hammers, clubs, and feet each year than rifles. In 2018, 297 people were killed with rifles, 1,515 were killed by murderers using a knife, 443 were murdered by killers using hammers, clubs, and blunt objects, and 672 were killed with “fists, feet and other ‘personal weapons”.6 The law can impose harsh consequences for irresponsible behavior but government cannot abridge an individual’s 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendment rights based on potential lethality of property owned. More importantly, American government, constituted as “federal”, cannot pass “national” laws.7

James Madison, the “Father of the Constitution,” writing in Federalist #39 noted a national government has authority over the “individual citizens” along with “an indefinite supremacy over all persons and things.” Under this system, “supremacy is completely vested in the national legislature” that has total control over city, county, and state governments as well as all commercial and other activities within the states. However, the United States has a “federal” not a “national” government. Its jurisdiction extends only to powers delegated to it, and enumerated, by the states.8 In Federalist #45, Madison wrote; “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects such as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which the last, the power of taxation, will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concerns the lives, liberties, and properties of the people9 [emphasis mine]. Oops, the “federal” government has no Constitutional authority to establish any form of “national” background check law in the first place! It is sad those calling themselves Republicans and conservatives know so little about the Constitution.10

Lieutenant Governor Patrick predicates his failure-doomed proposal on two false notions near and dear to liberals; 1) the mere existence of firearms “causes” violent crime and 2) Individuals engaging in “hate” or “hate-speech” are dangerous to others, mentally ill, and the ones who commit public mass shootings. In the first case, the solution is simple; eliminate firearms thus ending violent crime, so they say. In the second, “red-flag” and stop mentally unstable persons from possessing arms or have police seize those they possess.

First, there is no correlation between the degree of access to firearms and the degree of evil in a person’s heart. Intent to inflict pain, great bodily injury, and murder germinate from within the individual not from proximity to implements of harm. In addition, access to firearms, including by teenagers under 18, was relatively unregulated before the 1960s. People could purchase firearms through the mail. “Federal” (sic) background checks did not exist, yet public mass shootings, were rare. Each decade of the twentieth century, until the 1970s, “had fewer than 10 mass public shootings with one in the 1950s. The rise began in the 1960s with six, followed by 13 in the 1970s. This upsurge spiked in the 1980s with 32 public mass shootings jumping to an unimaginable 42 in the 1990s even though access to firearms was increasingly regulated and controlled by the government following the Gun Control Act of 1968.10 What changed?

It began in 1947 with Everson versus Board of Education (330, 1, 18, 1947) in which the Supreme Court illegally amended the Constitution inventing the doctrine of “separation of church and state”. Through the Court’s tortured interpretation, it granted Liberal Humanism the means to drive G-d, its greatest foe, from the public square.

In the 1960s, moral relativism, the notion that all values are “relative”, that there is no good and evil or right and wrong, or moral absolutes became the dominant philosophy in America. Books like, I’m Okay, You’re Okay and The Pathology of Normalcy became wildly popular along with the philosophy of “do your own thing”. Simon and Garfunkel’s prophets wrote, “G-d is Dead” on subway walls. The humanist left, the equivalent of cultural acid, declared concepts of right and wrong to be judgements and those holding to them to be judgmental. If notions of morality are relative, “who are you to impose your values on me” became the battle cry of those destroying Judeo-Christian based Western Society. In order to force cultural and moral relativism on everyone, liberal humanists worked through “modern” left teachers and the Courts to drive G-d and Judeo-Christian based values from schools. For decades, Public Dis-Education has taught notions of morality and even truth are merely social constructs. How then could the consequences surprise anyone? Religion’s decline in the role of people’s lives, disintegration of the family, loss of respect for law and order and spike in violent crime, massive drug use, wild promiscuity, murdering unborn babies, normalizing sexual perversion, school and public mass shootings, and a rise in suicides. And all this would be solved by more background checks?

Patrick’s claim that all public mass killers were/are known to have been mentally unstable and dangerous is problematic. Most recent mass killers, with exceptions, did not exhibit a “specific profile” that would have identified them as potential murderers. An FBI Study (2013) revealed only 25% of mass murderers had previously been diagnosed with a serious mental illness. However, many of the others had displayed behavior considered hostile and anti-social.11 Laws designed to prevent violent crime before it happens by nature must be anticipatory. They rely on “red-flags” triggering a response from the courts and police. Who and on what basis determines what constitutes a red flag resulting in the police seizing a person’s arms? Therein lies the rub. Short of actions requiring incarceration in the Puzzle Factory, what constitutes behavior triggering these responses? According to the “Left”, hate speech should be a “Red-Flag” because it is de facto “proof” of mental instability and potential for violence. But what is hate speech? The Left defines it as anyone holding to Biblical morality, opposition to the invasion of the US by illegal aliens, belief in limited government, and a demand government follow the original intent of the Constitution. In short, opposition to any part of the left’s agenda.

Criminals and the mentally unstable are already prohibited from buying and possessing firearms. Universal background checks will do nothing to stop the ineligible from obtaining them. Nor will they stop criminals from buying guns on the black market. UBCs serve two purposes. First, a misguided attempt to buy off Confiscationists through compromise. Second, when UBC’s fail in their intended goal, Liberals will argue it’s because gun laws didn’t go far enough and what is needed is total gun registration. This too will fail and again the Left will say it’s because “We didn’t go far enough”. Guess what they’ll call for next. Support no sell-outs regardless of political party.

Walmart, Merchant of Death

For those that haven’t heard yet, retail giant Walmart has decided that to keep the forces of evil at bay (the anti-gun harpies and their ilk) the best thing they could do would be cave into the pressure. Because their customers who shop at Walmart looking for value on things they use in their daily lives are not nearly as important as getting the harpies to quit and being labeled as “socially responsible”. Mind you, the harpies are not nearly as large a segment of the population as the people that quietly go about their business shopping at Walmart, I don’t believe.

Walmart to stop selling handgun ammunition. Retailer will also ask customers to stop openly carrying firearms

Walmart’s stance has encouraged others to follow in their ground breaking foot steps.

Walgreens and CVS ask customers not to openly carry guns in their stores

Kroger requests customers stop openly carrying guns in stores

Open carrying at Kroger

Thank you Oleg Volk

This has lead a buddy of mine of Facebook to point out a few things. Said buddy is staunch Second Amendment supporter, so his views may be subtle. Thanks Bill for the lines.

My breakup with Walmart will not be easy. I have two outstanding items at the pharmacy that have to be handled there, but then I’ll transfer the prescriptions elsewhere. I’m serious about this.

I do owe him and his buddies one, they helped me figure out how to get a screw out of the laser sights on my .380 and only chided me a tiny bit for carrying that small a gun at times. Good lads all! But being a helpful friend, I told him about Israel Pharmacy. I’ve set 3 people up with accounts there and they’ve all been pleased and saved money, and no they aren’t paying me.

IsraelPharm

So regarding my buddy’s salient points, let’s examine the death and destruction Walmart unleashes on a daily basis on the unsuspecting communities they invade. And if you are a small Mom and Pop shop, I suspect you would agree with the characterization of Walmart as being an invasive species that puts small businesses out of business and then quits carrying the necessary items.

This one is startling. A study by Johns Hopkins found that 250,000 Americans are killed by medical errors each year. That’s 17 times the number killed by guns. Yet Walmart has a pharmacy in each store.

But my friend wasn’t done with his observations.

In 2018, 40,000 people died in automobile crashes in the U.S., yet Walmart still sells the vital parts and ammunition to keep these machines of carnage operating.

And

In 2014, nearly 5000 people died in bathtub drownings in the U.S., yet with few exceptions, every home still contains at least one of these known instruments of death. In fact, the government requires them!

My gracious! The inhumanity! Think of the bathtub bumpstocks Walmart sells! High capacity bottles of bubble bath, huge bags of scented Epson salts, bath scrubbies in multiple colors and that doesn’t count the dangerous chemicals Walmart sells to clean aforementioned bathtub of death! And they sell Tide Pods!

In 2017 there were nearly a thousand fatal bicycle accidents, yet Walmart still sells these machines of death. Walmart has blood on their hands.

I can hear it now, “Walmart peddler of death”. Yes, it’s a pun. Yes, it’s a bad one.

Hey Walmart. Stop selling beer, liquor, and wine.

An estimated 88,0008 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity.

No mention of guns?

But let’s go back to the “groundbreaking” stance bit. It’s not really you know. And if Walmart quits selling ammunition you can just go to K-Mart and buy it. Oh, wait. Kmart Kills Ammunition Sales

Maybe not.

Company officials made the announcement Thursday following meetings that included company executives, a prominent gun-control advocate and victims of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting.

Kmart stores have not carried handguns since the 1970s, but still sell hunting rifles and other long guns. For some time, the Troy, Mich.-based company has been under pressure from gun-control advocates to stop selling firearms.

In November 1999, talk show host Rosie O’Donnell resigned as the company’s celebrity spokeswoman because of her strong support of gun control.

And in December 1999 the company withdrew an application for a license to sell rifles and shotguns at a new store in New York after protests by an anti-gun group.

Company spokeswoman Julie Fracker said the sale of firearms and ammunition had been under review as part of a merchandising strategy by the company’s new executive team for some time.

“Obviously we consider ourselves a socially conscious business, but this was a business decision made in the best interests of the company,” she said.

Kmart, Sears store closings: More locations to shutter by end of 2019

And about Rosie resigning as spokeswoman? Well, she’s important you see, you aren’t. If you aren’t rich enough to afford professional body guards, well then your life isn’t worth preserving. She of course can afford armed bodyguards, and has them. #Elitist #Hypocrisy

So, maybe go to Dick’s Sporting Goods? Dick’s Sporting Goods worries that sales could drop in wake of change in gun policy Oh, don’t be silly! Everyone knows taking a strong “social justice” stance will pay off. Who cares about those mouth breathing gun owners, right?

The latest balance sheet data shows that DICK’S Sporting Goods had liabilities of US$1.93b due within a year, and liabilities of US$3.22b falling due after that. On the other hand, it had cash of US$116.7m and US$68.5m worth of receivables due within a year. So its liabilities total US$4.96b more than the combination of its cash and short-term receivables.

This deficit casts a shadow over the US$3.08b company, like a colossus towering over mere mortals. So we definitely think shareholders need to watch this one closely. At the end of the day, DICK’S Sporting Goods would probably need a major re-capitalization if its creditors were to demand repayment.

DICK’S Sporting Goods’s net debt is only 0.48 times its EBITDA. And its EBIT easily covers its interest expense, being 32.4 times the size. So you could argue it is no more threatened by its debt than an elephant is by a mouse. But the bad news is that DICK’S Sporting Goods has seen its EBIT plunge 13% in the last twelve months. We think hat kind of performance, if repeated frequently, could well lead to difficulties for the stock. There’s no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine DICK’S Sporting Goods’s ability to maintain a healthy balance sheet going forward.

Corporate Gun Control Fail: Dick’s May Have to Close 35 Stores Across 18 States #DontBeDicks

Who cares about those mouth breathing gun owners? Oh, I dunno, the shareholders? If I were a shareholder and the CEO started making monetary decisions based on “social justice” knee jerks rather than responding to customers I think I would lead the charge to oust them. That’s my money you’re playing with. I invested in a company, not a high school experiment with a popularity contest.

This has lead to the popular Babylon Bee news site (satire) breaking the news on two more new Walmart policies

In addition to asking them to refrain from open carry, Walmart Asks Customers To Stop Shopping In Sleepwear, Even In States Where It’s Legal

And

Walmart Discontinues Auto Part Sales To Prevent Car Accidents

BENTONVILLE, AR—In a bold move intended to curb the thousands of deaths from vehicles each and every day, Walmart has decided to stop selling auto parts, sources confirmed Tuesday.

According to shocking reports, people have purchased car parts at Walmart and then those cars have been involved in accidents, proving a direct correlation between selling auto parts and causing deaths.

“We can no longer be complicit in an industry that kills over 3,000 people a day,” said a spokesperson for Walmart. “Every time we sell a muffler, steering wheel cover, or flame decal, we are potentially causing the death of a person, and we cannot support that any longer.”

But hey, while perusing the Bee’s homepage, I did get a bit of good news!

‘When I Am President, I Will Take Away Your Guns,’ Says Man Who Will Never Be President

U.S.—Beto O’Rourke promised to take away everybody’s guns when he is president, though sources have confirmed that O’Rourke will never even get close to being the president.

“Man, I can’t wait to see how that presidential pen feels signing an unconstitutional executive order,” he added wistfully, though he will never know how that feels.

At publishing times, O’Rourke’s pro-gun control comments had caused his number of supporters to get cut in half, leaving him with just one.

That’s the thing about all this modern incarnation of “social justice”. In placating the harpies, and playing to the #FakeNews cameras you cause harm to the people you are suppose to be working for, shareholders or constituents. Not to mention the people that work for you. They used to be called “employees with families” till their jobs went away because that store had to be closed. If you’ve enhanced your ego or reputation at the expense of someone you’ve betrayed, it seems there could be fallout. I hope it falls hard on you.

I bet there might be a local gun shop with knowledgeable people around. They may not mix paint for you, but I bet the can make some sensible gun related recommendations should you ask.

You could also take up a new hobby, reloading anyone?

Haters

You know, it seems more and more often I hear the left justify their criminal behavior as “fighting hate”, “fighting evil” “fighting fascism” or another one I hear from time to time, “Trump is so evil”. No, I don’t believe President Trump is evil, misguided and screws up? Yep. But I notice those that claim he is “evil” usually do so because he is denying them something they want such as illegal immigrants voting, or on welfare, or how about just coming here illegally, un-vetted and we have no idea who they are, what diseases they have or what their character is.

Recently a conservative journalist was attacked in the city of Portland Oregon. A shame and disgrace, Portland used to be a very beautiful city. I very much enjoyed my trips there when I was younger. But Portland has become a liberal haven, like Berkeley. And like Berkeley, antifa flourishes. What is antifa like?

I’m reading a book right now called Women Heroes of WWII.

He instituted the Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth), a state-run program for all children ages 10–18. The Hitler Youth program was geared to make Germany’s children proud, militant Nazis. They engaged in warlike games, killed small animals (to become insensitive to suffering and death), sang songs about German streets running with Jewish blood, and were encouraged toward fanatical, personal devotion to Hitler, a devotion that was to take precedence over their relationships with their parents. (Children were encouraged to turn in their own parents to the Gestapo if they heard them say anything against the Führer.)

The members of antifa certainly fit that description! My Mom and I were talking the other night and she was telling me a statistic she thought she had heard about the percentage of people that want socialism vs the people that don’t, and want capitalism. And in their public educatio indoctrination centers skools they learn what is “social justice” and “victimhood” 300 level classes in this are available at most universities, along with BDS and anti-Zionism against the one Jewish state in the world, which is in no way of course, antisemitic. In addition to physically attacking their victims, they strive for fear, intimidation and humiliation. Again, familiar.

But adults can have differences of opinions, they can discuss ideas. Very spirited discussions can result between two adults that argues their points, theories and ideas.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

Brainstorming is a beautiful thing. Antifa doesn’t brainstorm. I’m not sure they really think, they seem more like violently programed robots. They are absolutely indoctrinated to hate. How else can you scream “Love trumps hate” as you try to beat another living being?

Some of this just seems so familiar, it’s like a memory ringing in the back of my mind.

I’m seeing a pattern. Conservatives, especially in this time of Trump have been de-humanized to the point that the liberal tolerant left feels perfectly justified in physically attacking them. Women alone, old men, doesn’t matter. They function as a feral pack, they seem to single out one person and go after them. Because of they have different ideas than that of the left and that is no longer permitted. Stores are boycotted, careers are ruined, jobs are lost. All because someone expressed an opinion that the left doesn’t allow them to express or believe. Which goes with the pattern, it’s why Russia and Germany had to lock up and isolate leaders of the opposition, be they teacher, doctors, sailors, soldiers or the neighborhood grocer.

Banned knitters

And just like the days of old,

How the NYT Missed the Story of the Holocaust While It Was Happening

the media covers it up.

Antifa sympathisers are ‘whitewashing’ violence: Andy Ngo

You notice this report came from outside the U.S.

Also like the days of old, those in authority are telling the police to “stand down” and not protect the Trump supporters. Whether it was Berkeley, the lady in San Jose when the police blocked the door and wouldn’t let her in as antifa surrounded her or the attack on Andy Ngo which occurred right in front of a police station. The authorities are not doing the “serve and protect” thing. Well, not if you’re a conservative anyway.

Portland’s mayor has turned his city over to Antifa thugs

Portland mayor breaks silence on Antifa violence, and gets scorched by police union rep

Have you noticed another similarity between the cities where antifa seems to be flourishing? Yeah, I thought you probably had. They all have strict gun control. While that will affect conservatives who tend to be law abiding, it does not affect antifa who show up armed with crowbars and bats. And while the liberal talking heads aka #FakeNews tend to belittle the milkshake thing, the “milkshakes” often have quick drying concrete which makes them capable of blunt force trauma as well as chemical acid burns.

The point of the all this intimidation is something gun owners have seen for a long time. The media tells us some massive percentage of the people support further restricting our Second Amendment rights. And while we know it’s crap, many others, the Fudds out there will believe it. Especially if there is a collaborating story from the VNRA. With the stifling of free speech, and the ability to safely assemble at a political rally the tolerant, progressive anti-fascist fascists are ensuring only one opinion, theirs, is safe to express or will be heard.

And while some say “Love Trumps Hate”, I say love may well trump hate, but these days love and a AR-15 are a way better way to go.
