New York Attorney General Letitia James has made a grave strategic error in attempting to dissolve the National Rifle Association. Should she succeed, it will result in a economic power vacuum of epic proportions.
Something — someone — will fill it.
This could simply shift tens of millions of dollars that used to go to the NRA’s coffers to existing groups like Gunowners of America, Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, or even the modest Zelman Partisans (hint!). For lobbying; litigation; and policy, analysis, and philosophy, I think that would be a good thing. Former NRA instructors could form a new group to take over the one thing the old organization did well: practical training.
But whether it’s distributed groups handling specialized aspects of defending rights, or a new umbrella group, the victim-disarmers will be in for a shock. What the group or groups won’t be is the cardboard cutout that is the NRA.
No longer will there be a monolithic “pro-2A” organization promoting rights violations just so they can fundraise to “fight” those violations.
The new face of the Second Amendment won’t be the people that supported the National Firearms Act of 1934. It won’t be the people who supported the Gun Control Act of 1968 It won’t be the people who traded new machineguns for a toothless Firearm Owner Protection Act. It won’t be the people who proposed unconstitutional NICS checks. It won’t be the people who actively fought constitutional carry tooth and nail until they saw the bandwagon rolling, jumped on, and declared, “Follow me!” It won’t be the people who supportedex parte “red flag” firearm confiscations.
And it most definitely will not be the people who got bump-fire stocks banned as machineguns, thus endangering all “easily converted to machineguns” semiautomatic firearms.
No more would the disarmament faction have their paper tiger secret ally.
They will face human/civil rights advocates that are the “no-compromise gun lobby”. “No compromise. No Surrender.” Advocates who are “organizing to take back our Constitution and defend the inalienable, fundamental, and individual right to keep and bear arms.” We’ll “reclaim and expand our right to keep and bear arms.”
And actually mean it, unlike the LaPierre lackeys.
At the state level, the “protect our criminals from those mean gun owners” crowd will be facing state groups like Georgia Carry and ProGun New Hampshire who will no longer be hampered by NRA interference. For years, the RKBA movement has been Harrison Bergeron, handicapped by the weights of the NRA’s fund-sucking and deal-making. If James succeeds, she’ll see what we can do when we cast off the burden of NRA “assistance.”
Frankly, I thought this was so obvious that James would settle for minor concessions and leave the NRA intact; possibly fines. Or maybe send LaPierre to prison for misappropriating funds, but leave his compromising cronies in place to carry on the “good” work. I don’t think Bloomberg and Soros are going to be pleased if the NRA is destroyed.

Yom HaZikaron, Yom HaShoah, Holocaust remembrance day was April 20th, one day after the 77th anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising on April 19th. I’ve got a few random thoughts this year.
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising actually had 3 different resistance groups that were fighting. Most know of ZOB with Mordechai Anielewicz, The Jewish Fighting Organization. Less well known was the communists and Bund also fought against the nazis, and the other group was right wing, the Zionist youth movement “Beitar” the “Jewish Military Union” (ZZW). Beitar sound familiar? It was established by Zev Jabostinsky. My puppy’s middle name is Zev, that’s appropriate as it means “wolf”. Most of the fighters were younger, and I’m guessing had seen their families hauled off and knew what was coming.
The Wuhan flu Zoo
Locked in a ghetto and told they aren’t allowed to leave without a permission slip. Possibly like the one I’m carrying in my purse along with my name badge which will get me through road blocks should the be instituted. I shamelessly swiped this from a friend of mine, who also apparently likes Mark Levin
How far are you willing to go with this?
If they told you to load your families onto train cars so that you could be taken to Virus Protection Facilities for your own safety, would you do it?
YES. Yes, you would. That much has become painfully obvious to me. And the whole time, you’d be shaking your finger and yelling at those of us who refused, accusing us of being “a danger to society” and “not caring if people die.”
But they don’t have to load you onto train cars and take you to Virus Protection Facilities or force you to comply, because you do that voluntarily. They control your mind. They control you through fear. They control you by convincing you that the world is a scary dangerous place, but they’re here to protect you, care for you, and keep you safe, just as long as you OBEY.
They know that as long as you’re locked inside your comfortable home with Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a cell phone while dangling a $1200 check in front of you like a carrot on a stick, you’ll comply. No force is necessary for the majority of the herd.
YOU ARE IMPRISONED, willingly, and you’re too blind to see it.
By Mark Levin
Our country has been locked down, and I think there are some lessons worth mulling over. Parents are being hauled off in handcuffs in front of their children because they took them to a park. A public park. I’ve covered some of these abuses in other columns. I’m guessing you know by now that while I do believe the virus is absolutely real, I also believe the reaction has been way overblown.
Corona worries?
Better safe than sorry? For whom? The 22 million people now out of work? The business owners that have lost or are losing a business because of what Doctors Fauci and Birx have urged? Honestly I have no idea why anyone would ever start a business now knowing it can be yanked away and your life’s work and savings down the drain at the whim of a government. Their employees that now may well face losing their homes and struggle with trying to support their families all the while the government is forcing farmers to dump milk, eggs and vegetables. I’m pretty sure the food banks could use them about now. Food like knowledge, is power. What will people do to feed their hungry children? Government is seizing power, no doubt. Some governors like the governor of South Dakota and Wyoming pretty much left their states open while others like the governor of Michigan took the power given by the federal government and then became a tin pot despot. What happened after that disturbs me even more. When people protested, she threatened them for speaking out by saying she might extend the lock down. Free speech not permitted. Along with freedom to assemble or to worship.
The following videos make several points, but the reason I’m putting them in are those listed above. This is going on all over the world. I have to tell you when I heard those German voices yelling “Ack-TUNG” and hauling people away I got nauseated. Beating people, using tear gas on them, explain to me how this keeps them safe? I mean, that’s what this is suppose to be about right? Saving lives from the Wuhan flu? Another friend of mine wrote this is response to something I had posted on facebook.
“When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.
When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.
When the State bans dentists because it’s unsafe, but deems abortion visits are safe, it’s not about your health.
When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows in-person lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.
When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motorboat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health.
When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!
When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor of chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health!
When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, IT’S NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.
WAKE UP PEOPLE — If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken! Please open your eyes! Stop being lead like blind sheep.
I should probably mention this was originally one video, YouTube censored it and someone else put it up in three parts, so hopefully you can still see it.
And these protests to open the states back up are going on all over the country. Who decides the value of a life? I take death very seriously. When people get towards the end of life, one of the things one often does is to give an “Advance Directive” meaning they state what they consider to be an acceptable quality of life, and if something medically happens they can not do those things they do not want heroic measures done to save them. Quality of life counts. At what point do we begin to care about the 22 million that have been forced out of work due to flawed models designed by a man who has yet to get one right.
Wuhan Flu we will survive, but this government seizure of power? When has government ever handed back power once it’s been seized? Your rights are suspended. I keep hearing that line from the video. How much further will it go? Who knows. Just like the left are hypocrites about guns denying citizens the right to defend themselves and their families all the while having armed guards they are out of touch with the pain the lock down is causing. Yes, I know it’s a Trump ad, but it still sums it up really well.
And the new paradigm is set. Had a Democrat been president, I shudder because Democrats are communist now. Power and control, never enough. What will happen the next time there is a “crisis” be it in the fall or next year? I heard another great video from a politician named Paul Curtman who has written a couple of books Don’t Tread On Me and Don’t Tread On Me! The Constitution and State Soverneignty. Paul’s video was talking about the role of government. He said people have the misconception the role of government is to keep your safe. It is not, the proper role of government is to keep you free. And while you chew that over, I will give you the Partisans Song, because I honor those that resisted and fought against the tyranny.

In his most recent radio program Phantom Nation, host Sha’i ben-Tekoa talked about how some criticize and look down on the Jews in Germany who didn’t fight back. But he asked the question if you have a young man of 20, who has a wife and maybe a couple of kids what realistically could he have done when they heard that forceful knock on the door at midnight and opened it to find 5 nazis with guns at the ready?
The best answer I can give is to not let things get to that point. To recognize the signs, see people clearly, especially politicians and vote accordingly. We can still vote in this country perhaps. Some of the actions are familiar from the past, but is history going to repeat?
Anti-Semitism is on the rise. No doubt about it, while the left likes to try to blame it on the right politically, that doesn’t pan out. There are no politicians on the right, and most people on the right are not saying the sorts of thing the elected demoncrats in office have espoused. The #Demoncrats seem to be trying to do their best to move as far left towards G-dless communism and have put their far left members, such as “The Squat” in the driver seat. And that may be partly why the left hates Jews, we are suppose to be spreading the light and knowledge of G-d’s handbook for this world known as Torah, or Bible and they are determined to try to eliminate G-d from the conversation. Anyone’s conversation. Communism and socialism are G-dless religions, and so, the left loves those political doctrines. The dark doesn’t want the light, it makes the dark disappear.
There have been several attacks on religious communities lately. For a list of anti-Semitic attacks, including Synagogue attacks there is this, a list of attacks on Jewish institutions.
It includes Poway and Squirrel Hill. But the carnage at Poway was far lower than it could have been. And it was far lower than at Squirrel Hill. Chabad in Poway had armed congregants, Squirrel Hill didn’t.
Within a similar time frame there were also attacks on churches in Texas. The one in Sutherland Springs Texas was stopped by a neighbor who heard the gun shots and ran out the door with his AR-15. Not his shoes, but his AR. Man had his priorities straight. He stopped the murderer. The one in White Settlement near Ft. Worth was stopped by a member of the Church Security team. But he was one of several members on the Security team. Back to the days of New Life Church and Jeanne Asssam, there have been highly publicized incidents of armed citizens stopping killers intent on wiping out life.
“It’s the job of law enforcement to carry guns that kill. We just can’t let the average American have guns in a crowded place…gun control saves lives…”pic.twitter.com/qt7nDRvKxz
No word on if he’s giving up his own armed security. But then, he’s “special” you, are not. Bless his little heart. One more reminder he it totally unfit to be President of the United States of America.
Even more recently the attack on a Kosher Deli in Jersey City, which was originally an attack planned for the Synagogue attached.
But New York has strict gun control there, so Jews and other law-abiding citizens are supposed to be safe!
HA! The Attack in Monsey proved gun control lies are just that. Lies. The Bucket O’Chum used a machete. I understand from this episode of the Tamar Yonah show, the pictures of the victims on social media resemble those of the victims of the 1929 Hevron riots.
Towards the end of the segment she is interviewing Shifra Hoffman, founder of Victims of Arab Terror. They are both discussing that all Jews need to be armed, and we need to secure our Synagogues, we must learn to fight and be prepared to do so. You’ll love listening to Shifra, she really tells it as it is. Shifra is strong on making Aliyah, to put it mildly.
While you’re on Twitter, you could also follow The Zelman Partisans.
This social media thing is interesting. There is a writer for Arutz Sheva that I enjoy. I read a couple of columns, followed him on Twitter and we are in each others network on LinkedIn. Moshe Phillips, the writer, has done some strong columns, as you can see. He is also the National Director of the U.S. division of Herut North America.
This lead to Moshe reaching out to us to see if we could help with publicizing a Synagogue Security toolkit. It is done by Herut, and there goal is to make it much harder to successfully attack a Synagogue. As Pat Parelli says, “Prior and proper planning prevent pee poor performance.” And this time it will save lives as well. There is also advice and things to think about in your daily life, not just at Shul. Life is precious, all attempts must be made to preserve it from those that attempt to steal it. Talk to your leadership today, have them get the book, if you’re in leadership, get it yesterday.
This situation turned out as well as it did because they planned, and they had a team in placed. Be prepared to respond. Someone used to say “A gun is like a parachute. You may only need it once, but if you do need it, you will need it very very badly”.
The Correct Response to a threat
Make the choice, fight back, be informed, be part of a team, contact Herut. Fight back to live.
According to the more lurid propaganda now circulating, the Virginia National Guard will be going door-to-door, searching homes, seizing firearms, leaving law-abiding gun owners vulnerable to attacks by criminal hordes and organized gangs such as MS-13.
Casey hangs around some odd web sites if he’s seeing that. Despite my extensive reading on firearms policy and law, I haven’t run across claims that will happen. I have seen analyses of ramifications of filed Virginia legislation.
Relax. It’s not going to happen. Probably there’ll be some changes to gun laws, and some long-overdue tightening of statutes that were increasingly relaxed during two decades of Republican rule.
But nobody’s going to be going door-to-door seizing firearms. And any legislation that passes is likely to be quite familiar to Virginia’s 8.57 million residents.
Consider just two major proposals on the table.
So he ridicules the possibility of bans and confiscation, and supports his position by bringing up firearm purchase rationing and the elimination of state firearms law preemption, as if that’s all that’s being proposed.
Let me bring up another bill that was filed. I can’t think of how Casey missed it, given the very subject he mocks: VA Senate Bill 16: Assault firearms and certain firearm magazines; prohibiting sale, transport, etc.. Since the Democrats have the house, senate, and governorship it seems likely this will pass. I hardly expect the senate majority leader to let it die… since Sen. Dick Saslaw himself is the original sponsor.
That bill completely bans several large classes of common firearms. There is no grandfathering. No “buyback” provision to compensate owners for their loss. Casey somehow hasn’t noticed this. What did he think prompted Rep. Don McEachin to say, “Ultimately, I’m not the governor, but the governor may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law”?
That was no “idle, ill-thought-out comment.” That was a carefully crafted proposal made in a planned interview with a national media outlet, in response to most of the state’s counties and towns announcing that they would not enforce that law if passed.
Sure, afterwards, the governor claimed the bill would be amended to grandfather in existing firearms so long as the owners register them like good little serfs. But 1) it hasn’t been amended, 2) no substitute bill with grandfathering has been filed, and 3) the governor is already budgeting for personnel to enforce SB 16, and for an increased corrections budget for people incarcerated under the proposed — and not even passed yet — gunpeople control laws.
When governor, senate majority leader, and a congresscritter tell us that they are going to try to take guns, tell us how many millions of dollars they plan to spend trying to take guns, tell us how many people they plan to hire to try to take guns, and tell us how much money they expect to spend to imprison those that don’t want their guns taken…
Virginians should take them at their word, Casey’s clumsy attempt at dismissal through obfuscation and misdirection not withstanding.

Yes, it’s Hanukkah! One of my favorite times of year. We began lighting candles on the 22nd of December, the 24th of Kislev. A facebook friend thoughtfully sent me a picture of a very interesting Hanukkiah, an unusual one to be sure.
My Zebra Hanukkiah
Since we are in Hanukkah I’ve been thinking about a lot of things as my candles burn. One of them of course is the Maccabees, what was it like to live at that time, in those days?
I recently received a email from Judah Maccabee. I know! But he seems to be good friends with my Rabbi who must have let him use his computer. This is just the first part of the email he sent.
I time-traveled over 2,000 years to talk to you.
My name is Judah. I’m pretty famous in the Chanukah story.
I’m writing to you today because I need your help.
My brothers and I fought a war to take back our temple and the freedom to be Jewish.
People like to think of us as warriors. Born Fighters. Commanding a small but well-trained army.
Nonsense.
We’re just like you.
Regular people, going about our day.
The pressure grew and grew. And finally, instead of saying “You know what they should do…?” for the millionth time, we just did it ourselves.
It wasn’t easy to inspire people to help. Most of them wanted to keep their regular routine and hope that someone else would step up.
Thank G-d, enough people stepped up, and the story of Chanukah happened.
If you are unfamiliar with the story of how Hanukkah began, the first battle, here you go. But the part about Mattityahu is the part I’m getting at. When the Syrians came to their village in Modiin and built an alter and demanded that Mattiyahu sacrifice on it, to the Greek gods. He refused. A Hellenistic Jew stepped forward to do the sacrifice in Mattiyahu’s name. Mattiyahu killed him, then he and his sons went after the Syrian officers and the rest and routed them.
See, the battle of Hanukkah wasn’t about killing Jews, like The National Socialist German Workers’ Party was. It was about killing Judaism. If you were willing to forgo the practice of Judaism, like the Hellenized reformed Jews were, then everything was hunky dorey. If you weren’t? Not so much. Like Communism, they forbade the practice of Judaism.
So back to Mattiyahu, he recognized the threat of what the Syrians were demanding. Then he took the appropriate actions. He knew who his enemy was.
Do we know today? Do we recognize who our enemies are? Who sees us as enemies?
I don’t know if these two stories have gotten much in the way of #MSM #FakeNews attention. I don’t believe they have.
One is the 70 year old Jewish doctor Sarah Halemi who was thrown off a balcony from three stories up by a muslim yelling about allah’s snackbar. Seems he was angry after a fight, with his own family and the result was a 70 year old woman in the same building dying. The Franceistan courts have taken the matter very seriously. They declared the man cannot stand trial as he was high at the time. Jewish blood is cheap to the French courts.
In America we have another member of the religion of pieces that tried to blow up a plane with 150 souls on board. Bucket O’Chum was a Iraqi mechanic working for American Airline. Really American? You couldn’t find Americans to do the job? Bucket O’Chum attempted to sabotage the guidance system on the plane to bring it down. He faces up to three years in jail. Up. To. Three. Years. 150 people. He may serve as much as one week for each attempted murder. That much? I wonder how many other jihadis work for American Airlines?
It seems to charge either one of these murderers appropriately would be islamaphobic. Really?
The right people in positions don’t see a problem with letting them into these positions, apartment buildings, jobs and the like.
The new measures will include “universal background checks, banning the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, restoring the law that limits purchases to one gun a month, and a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others.”
Because hey, he’s about safety (for now). He even offered to let people keep their “assault weapons” if they registered them with the state. Because registration has never lead to confiscation.
In addition to letting people keep their legally purchase rifles, he is willing to let gun rights groups continue to have their meetings too!
Which kind of tells you Northam, a Demoncrat, really does consider people control acceptable. When he was asked about the growing number of Second Amendment Sanctuary cities he said he wouldn’t retaliate, that’s not what he’s about. He then changed the word and said there would be “consequences”. Ah, all better then.
“We understand and respect the passion people feel for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard,” he added.
Here’s the deal: a Virginia Democrat, Jennifer Wexton, has proposed a bill which would use your credit card purchases to track your gun purchases, and history shows that this data will be used against you.
The battle of Hanukkah was about people living as free people in their land, worshiping G-d as he had instructed them. And to some that was just unacceptable. The Maccabees weren’t the modern forerunner of the IDF, they were regular people who stood up. Just like those in Virginia who are fighting back against attempts by Hellenizing Demoncrats to force them to live in subjugation to whoever decides they will “rule” and not “serve” as an elected official.
Hands down, best Hanukkiah ever!
Because I can never see this enough.
Light a candle, freedom, and fan the flame. Share and spread the light.
Today, November 11th was Veteran’s Day. The day brave men and women who have served our country in the military are honored. I’m personally not sure enough can ever be done to honor them. I have only the highest respect for those that chose to put their personal lives on hold to protect us, and our country. They chose to go to other countries to fight evil, and to fight for those that could not fight for themselves.
November 9th and 10th is the anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the night of broken glass. We have some articles on the event if you might care to read them. There are more than just these two.
And it was brave men and women, sometimes really boys and girls that went and fought the Germans, Austrians, Poles, and any others that decided this was an opportune time to rid their fair cities of the Jewish presence.
I think the fact that the two days fall so close together, for me at least, doubles the sense of wonder and gratitude.
I was thinking about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier the other day. Probably something I had read, maybe the weather, I don’t know. But I was thinking about the guard’s dedication to duty. The requirements to be a guard are quite stringent.
For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5′ 10″ and 6′ 2″ tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30″.
Other requirements of the Guard:
They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. They cannot swear in public FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way.
After TWO YEARS, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin.
The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror.
The first SIX MONTHS of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends FIVE HOURS A DAY getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year the guards suit up, show up and do their duty. They have studied for this, trained for this and committed to this. And that’s how they were chosen for this post. Most that apply do not make the selection. These soldiers were willing to make the commitment, and do the work, even in a hurricane.
Part of the conditions that allowed Anti-Semitism to rise to such a level as to produce a holocaust was the complaint that the Jews were “chosen”. Chosen for what? Chosen to receive the Torah, to spread the knowledge of G-d in this world. Of his love, of his instructions of how to live a life pleasing to the creator of this world. To share knowledge of the mitzvot, commandments. Holy little bread crumbs if you will, a way of helping people find their way back to G-d, or to find G-d.
But according to the Midrash, Israel was not the 1st nation that G-d offered the Torah. They were however, the one that accepted it. Now, if you would like a rather humorous story about how this went down, I can help you out. And it is worth reading, it’s funny. I’ll give you the first paragraph of The Bargain and the Jew
The story you are about to read is true. Some names have been changed to protect the guilty. Some names have been omitted to protect us from the grumpy. The story first started thousands of years ago, when the world was young…
These days it seems the Holocaust is so far behind us, and that such an event could never happen again. But that could be wrong. I listened to a talk show today, and the host Howie Silbiger pointed out that the late Rabbi Meir Kahane predicted almost 30 years ago that there would be another holocaust. In North America. Rabbi Kahane was assassinated 5 November 1990, in the first Al-Qaeda attack on American soil. The bucket of chum assassin got off killing Rabbi Kahane on a technicality. The FBI harvested buckets of information from his apartment. Which apparently they ignored and that allowed the bucket of chum to roam freely about and participate in the first bombing of the World Trade Center. The second Al-Qaeda attack on American soil. Many things I agree with Rabbi Kahane, he is the one who founded the Jewish Defense League, and wanted to change the image of the Jews from weak to strong fearless fighters.
The JDL also focused on the plight of Soviet Jewry, and coined the phrases “Never again,” and “every Jew a .22” to emphasize that Jews would no longer passively ignore the plight of their foreign brethren.
Howie pointed out in this episode that crimes against Jews in NY have risen dramatically. Violent crimes, Jews are punched, pinned against cars and physically assaulted. For which the perpetrators are charged with, “harassment”. Seriously. The culture has changed enough as well. When Netflix has a show called “The Roast of Ann Frank” in which hitler roasts the teenage Jewish girl that was one of the victims of the holocaust is disgusting and despicable. I think that Howie, and Rabbi Kahane could be right. Far too many Jews push for disarmament, too many cities are easy pickings with their progressive policies of only allowing criminals to have guns. And people keep voting for these politicians. Sigh.
But as the constant attacks on Israel continue, against Jews living in Judea and Shomron, and Jews living in New York rise, I fear that the next brave soldiers to fight in the North American holocaust may be you and I. The excuses given for such attacks vary of course, but one of the things that was a complaint and excuse in Germany was this status of being “chosen”. I would maintain that their “chosen status” is much like that of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknowns. It was a mission offered and accepted, even though aspects were unknown. Its sad that rather than admire and respect those that strive to follow the path, those that disagree with it will chose to tear it down, belittle and obliterate it. There are other choices of course, but they choose to ignore that.
I do not relish the thought of a Kristallnacht in North America, but with the #FakeNews, and the state of academia where BSD-BS with it’s anti-Jew and anti-Israel bias thrive, the mass importation of people raised to hate Jews, I could see how it could be. If it comes to pass, we will be more grateful than ever for those that have experience, and can mentor. Our Veterans.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.~~ Edmund Burke
I’ll just drop this here with one comment, to follow.
ABC News Airs U.S. Gun Range Video, Calling It a Syrian War Zone — Twice
The footage, which ABC News purported was of an attack on the border town of Tal Abyad, was aired Sunday on World News Tonight and Good Morning America on Monday morning. However, a comparison by Gizmodo shows the video was captured at Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky back in 2017.
Oh. My.
I would like Swalwell, Biden, O’Rourke, and Harris to note that what US gun owners consider play time is what a major news outlet can mistake for a major military offensive by the Forces of a NATO nation. Tell us again how resisting a tyrannical government is futile.
OK. Two comments: That’s funny.

Over at my blog, I noticed a commenter’s screen name. It was unfamiliar but, given the avatar, I assumed it had some historical significance. I looked it up.
Captain Witold Pilecki
I am almost ashamed that I had never heard of this man before, because based just on the Wikipedia entry, Pilecki was a total badass. He fought the Soviets in the Polish-Soviet War. He fought in World War 2, including with the Tajna Armia Polska, (Secret Polish Army; which he helped found), the resistance movement in Nazi-occupied Poland.
Just what I’ve read so far is fascinating; I’m going to be learning more about him. But let me drop two exploits from his life that are germane to The Zelman Partisans.
Witold Pilecki volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz. Not to find out what was going on in the camp. He knew; some of it, at least. He went to gather proof to be presented to the Allies. He volunteered to go into a death camp to try to help those imprisoned there. They smuggled in radio parts and built a transmitter in the camp and broadcast intel about camp activities.
And he escaped more than two years later. With German documents he’d somehow gotten hold of.
Some might think that was enough for one war. Think again.
He went to the Warsaw Ghetto, and fought in the uprising.
And survived.
As I said, I’m still learning about Pilecki. I do know that he was executed by the Soviet puppet government of Poland in 1948.
For working against the Soviets.
“I’ve been trying to live my life so that in the hour of my death I would rather feel joy, than fear.”
– Pilecki, after being sentenced to death

What is it with Dim-ocrat presidential candidates thinking that threatening to wage war on American civilians makes a great campaign platform plank? Kalifornia’s Eric Swallowswell wanted to nuke America’s breadbasket, although he backed off a little and settled for overwhelming military force.
Oddly, that didn’t encourage campaign donors, or boost his polling. Go figure.
It appears Joe “c’mere, little girl” Biden apparently didn’t learn from Swalwell’s experience.
Joe Biden on the Second Amendment: No amendment is ‘absolute’
“Folks, don’t apologize at all about the Second Amendment,” Biden advised, explaining how the amendment allows for limitations on who can own a weapon and what type. “These guys will tell you, the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots. Give me a break.”
Gropin’ Joe needs to check the whole quote.
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
That part about “tyrants” should concern a man who continued with this:
“If you want to protect yourself against the federal government, you’re going to need at least an F-15.”
That is a rather direct threat. More so than Swalwell’s snide, “The government has nukes.”
In fact, military aircraft aren’t going to be needed. When wannabe absolute tyrants like Biden push hard enough, my fear is that it won’t be anything so controlled as civil war. Far more likely is what I’ve termed “hunting season,” where thousands or millions of pissed-off individuals decide to take matters into their own individual hands. Not coordinated action by groups who can be targeted in return.
What could individuals do versus the government?
Two untrained idiots tied up the resources of two states and the District of Columbia for three weeks.
One ex-cop with a grudge held the attention of three counties’ law enforcement agencies for a week and a half. The chaos he caused even got three innocent civilians shot (reinforcing the idea of staying out of it and crossfire).
Consider those, then multiply by thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people with a grudge over being stripped of rights, and then you have “hunting season.” No bag limits. Clinton Rules of Engagement apply. Full scale ugliness, and it’s hard to see anything but a horrible outcome for everyone.
Hunting season. The whackos who would be king could help avoid this by respecting rights. They could stop campaigning on policy enforcement-by-genocide.
I don’t want to see this. If it comes to it, I’ll hunker down and try to stay out of the crossfire. But that show will require a lot of popcorn.
Oh, and, Joe?
“Can you go out and buy a flamethrower? Can you go out and buy an F-15?”
Yes, you can buy a flame thrower. And while an F-15 on the commercial market might be hard to find, other jet fighters are available. Lawfully arming a surplus fighter might be problematical, but if the groper-in-chief is waging war against Americans, and sending fighters after us, the legality becomes something of a lesser concern.
Americans currently own flamethrowers, machineguns, artillery, tanks, combat-capable aircraft, besides the semi-auto peashooters, Joe finds so scary.
Multiply hunting season by that.

With registration schemes in the works, let’s imagine a humorous, purely hypothetical scenario.
Police State A passes a registration law.
Folks in other states publicly post something along the lines of, “I happen to know that someone in [NOT-State-A] has an AR, [manufacturer] [model] serial number 12345xxx. Plenty of credible examples.
“Compliant” A-Staters use that data to cram the State A’s database full of realistic-looking garbage: variations on out-of-state weapons. Change the serial numbers.
And never forget the overly compliant. Register a few hundred per person. You’ll probably make typos on the forms, so be sure to requisition plenty. And early, as they’ll likely run out.
Now that places such as New York City and California are doing their best to generate new Dim-ocrat voters-to-be with sanctuary and ID for “undocumented” illegals, those identities could be the ones “registering” their imaginary “assault weapons” and half-million-apiece magazines. I’ve heard that in Chicago, 1060 West Addison Street is a traditional address.
With millions of bogus database entries, I expect it’ll be a while before they sort through them and find “real” people who… “Darned boating accidents.” Mischievous types will want to get their lost/stolen reports in ahead of the expected rush. If they go low-bidder on the software, our little Simon Jesters might even crash the database.
If nothing else, this should lower unemployment, as governments recruit more clerks to handle the data entry.
