Why We Fight

Today is D-Day, and I suppose in a lead up to D-Day Shimshon and I have been watching some (what I consider) relevant movies and documentaries. We started watching Band of Brothers last week and a couple of nights ago finished it. One of the episodes is called “Why We Fight”. If you haven’t seen Band of Brothers I’ll give you the relevant point. The war is pretty much over, a few of the men from Easy Company are out in the woods on patrol, just kind of clearing the area when they run across the first concentration camp they’ve seen. They don’t know what it is. They send one of the men back to headquarters to try to find an officer. He finds Dick Winters (who was a very good officer, and I suspect and even better human) and the next scene is of a few officers; Ronald Speirs, Lewis Nixon and some of the rest of Easy Company including Joesph Liebgott. This mattered because Liebgott spoke German. In the first part of the episode many of the men had been questioning why had they given up the years of their lives to live in trenches and fight bad men. After they saw the concentration camps, and Liebgott was able to ask them questions and relay the answers to the officers they all more fully understood the situation. Dick Winters later tells Lewis Nixon the Russians found camps that were even worse. I suspect that may have been the first time some of the boys had seen that level of depravity and evil that can be inflicted on fellow human beings. The next lesson the men learned was “cultured, civilized” people are perfectly capable of standing by and allowing the atrocities, murder and starvation of innocent people. When the men of Easy talked to the town people they all denied knowing anything about it. Apparently one of the Generals had a brilliant idea. The townspeople were hauled out to the concentration camp to bury the bodies. The trait is easily visible today and when someone is being attacked there will be 4,352 TikTok, YouTube and FakeBook videos of the whole thing. Of someone like Daniel Penny stepping in to help others? Not so many.

The next atrocity to be fought was in Israel. You see the Not So Great Britain was there. Last night Shimshon and I watched the 2014 Documentary The Forsaken Promise. This is the whole documentary. Not sure how long it will be there.

The League of Nations trusted Britain to establish a national home for the Jews in their historic homeland, Israel.

The “Mandate for Palestine,” an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, a 10,000-square-miles3 area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

The legally binding document was conferred on April 24, 1920 at the San Remo Conference, and its terms outlined in the Treaty of Sèvres on August 10, 1920. The Mandate’s terms were finalized and unanimously approved on July 24, 1922, by the Council of the League of Nations, which was comprised at that time of 51 countries,4 and became operational on September 29, 1923.5

The “Mandate for Palestine” was not a naive vision briefly embraced by the international community in blissful unawareness of Arab opposition to the very notion of Jewish historical rights in Palestine. The Mandate weathered the test of time: On April 18, 1946, when the League of Nations was dissolved and its assets and duties transferred to the United Nations, the international community, in essence, reaffirmed the validity of this international accord and reconfirmed that the terms for a Jewish National Home were the will of the international community, a “sacred trust” – despite the fact that by then it was patently clear that the Arabs opposed a Jewish National Home, no matter what the form.

But despite being trusted by the entire league of nations to re-establish Israel (the nation, the tribes) in Israel (the land) Britain did not do that. In fact, Britain not only limited the number of Jews fleeing hitler and the nazis, they sent refugee ships back. But, so did America under the Demoncratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The British disarmed the Jews living in Israel as best as they could, while arming the arabs. In the riots of the 1920s and onward the Brits would stand back and allowed the Jews they had disarmed to be slaughtered. One horrific example at 1:45:00 into the documentary details the attack of 13 April 1948 when a medical convoy was trying to get to the Hadassah hospital in the besieged Jerusalem. The convoy was carrying patients, medical personnel and supplies, it was stopped and attacked by arabs. The Brits checked every convoy trying to get into Jerusalem to make sure that none of the Jews had any weapons, so they were defenseless against the arabs. The people were butchered. No, I didn’t mean killed. There was a British outpost nearby and the soldiers wanted to intervene and were told to stand down. It is reported some of the soldiers cried as they watched the slaughter and mutilation that followed. But they didn’t do anything. There are photographs of the aftermath in the video.

When the refugee ships came in to Israel, the Brits would put the Jews in one of several prison camps. One woman was in prison for five years, she and her husband had escaped, but she lost her whole family to the nazis in the concentration camps. She told of how the British soldiers would beat the prisoners, really they were quite despicable. But if you look at the pattern of the Brits…..America vs. Britain, Ireland vs Britain, Israel vs. Britain….Britain has not been on the side of good in any of those, and in the beginning of WWII Chamberlain made appeasement with hitler, so.

There was really nothing Israel could do about it at this point. They didn’t have control of their own country. The British did, the Jewish Israelis just had to suffer at the whims of the anti-Semitic British government. Oh, yes I did mean to say that. Watch the documentary. See, when your local politicians are not in control, when they have to bow to the will of others who may not have the very best welfare of your nation at heart when making decisions, it will not turn out well. This is something to keep in mind as the traitorous criminal Joe Biden tries to turn U.S. over to the benevolent dictatorship of the W.H.O. with the pandemic treaty. WHO Pandemic Treaty Is a Threat to Liberty. They are already talking about digital tracking. Seems the injection mandates and green passports were just such a dandy paradigm that a lot of the framework is already in place. We already have the FIB so we have the SS who are willing to throw political opposition in the Gulag to prevent them from speaking out. According to whistle blower Steven Friend, it’s not the rank and file of the FIB, instead is the leadership at the top.

Which brings me to leadership. Both examples are from WWII, both of these men came from humble backgrounds. I don’t know that either of them ever aspired to fame, but G-d put something in them that was needed on that day at that time, leadership.

The first man I mentioned earlier, Ronald Speirs, clip is 1:26 seconds long.

The next man I think I may have written about before, General Norman Dutch Cota, he puts paid to the notion you have to be in your prime and in great shape to make great things happen. 7:05 seconds long.

These men fought, because they knew what lay behind them were things they loved and cared about, family, friends and a way of life, their country and freedom to live their lives as they chose. They may have known some of what they were fighting against in front of them, but I don’t think in the beginning they even fully grasped the depth of evil they were up against. Man’s inhumanity to man.

I believe G-d puts the ability to fight back against evil into every creature. I believe we have the ability to fight on despite odds being against us. Every creature.

That cat absolutely is inspiring, and yes, it’s a cat not a small dog. Dogs don’t slap or bat like that. It’s a partisan guerilla cat! It gets in, gets the job done and gets out. A Chuck Norris cat.

Yes, we have a lot stacked against U.S. right now, and many of our fellow citizens have fallen victim to the Fifth Generation Warfare being conducted against U.S. by our own corrupt government. So we may not have as many allies as we should, and have more enemies than we deserve. But we don’t get to choose that bit. We do get to choose if we will pick up the torch that was handed U.S. by the men and women of WWII. It’s all about our mindsets.  Maybe we will talk to people, maybe we will contact politicians, maybe we will go to political rallies and meetings, maybe we will donate money to people like Sen. Josh Hawley that actually do fight back. Goodness knows Soros donates to the likes of Kim Fox, Kim Gardner and their ilk. Maybe we just talk to our kids and grandkids and make sure they understand truth and reality and try to offset some of the damage being done in public schools. Maybe we become more informed about issues. Maybe we join our local grassroots Second Amendment group. But there will be some way for each of us to fight, because 79 years after D-Day, we have a far better idea of why we fight than they did that day they landed on the beaches of Normandy.

This is Jim Quinn’s D-Day tribute, he’s been doing it for years. It starts after 42 seconds.

Memorial Day thoughts 2023

I was listening to one of my favorite radio shows today, The Tamar Yonah show, the episode is The US & Israel: Who is Dependent On Who?

As this is Memorial Day, I thought there were a few really interesting points. For Israelis the big ticket was probably the talk of Jerusalem day, but there were some points that really caught my attention.

Ok, at 6:13 in, while this isn’t one of the points for Memorial day, it amused me. Tamar mentioned that companies liked to hire Israelis. Sometimes over their local populations even. They speculated on why. Maybe because they had served in the IDF and had some real world experience, they’re more mature? Naw, I think that may be part of it, but it’s even simpler. They know what bathroom to use. I heard part of Matt Walsh today I believe it was. Now, I don’t know who did the man on the street questions. Maybe Charlie Kirk? Maybe Mark Dice, I dunno. But here’s how it went. These questions were to students at UCLA. I wrote down as much as I could remember. I was driving when I heard this.

Who was the first president?

Abraham Lincoln?

What ocean is on the east coast of the U. S.?

Didn’t know.

What country does the Queen of England rule over?

No idea I don’t get into politics.

What is the Capitol of the United States?

A) there isn’t one

B) California

Name the 3 Kardashian sisters:

Chloie Kourtney and Kim.

Bonus point if you can name the brother:

Robert.

And they will graduate, goodness only knows how many thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of dollars in debt which Demoncrats want U.S. to pay off. I want my money back.

At 22:52 in they are discussing the water and food crisis coming in Europe. Shocking considering the Dutch government has pretty much killed of many of the Dutch farmers. Who’d have thought taking farms away and limiting farming so you can create cities for invaders would cause a food shortage, but there ya go. Weird since they’ve got crop yield warnings.

Dr. Mordechai points out in the past when there were food and water shortage, countries went to war. But Europe really doesn’t have armies any more. Not really, and they don’t have young people to man them anyway. Then he gets into what does also affect U.S. Even if they did have young people and armies, they don’t have ammunition. They’ve sent it all to Ukraine. Ukraine uses more ammunition in a month than than America and Europeans manufacture together….in a year.

At 37 minutes in, Dr. Mordechai points out the U.S. has a crumbling military, with over priced and under preforming equipment. That the Russians are moping the floor in Ukraine, that they exploded 10s of ammunition depots and the Ukrainians were already short of ammo. He said Russia has excellent intelligence networks in Ukraine. That’s why the U.S. sent 300,000 rounds of 155 mm artillery ammunition that was marked for Israel and gave it to Ukraine, and most of that has been blown up, not used. Russian intelligence…they know where it is. At 39:04 in, he gives a quote to demonstrate the poor leadership of the military. “There is absolutely, when we get right down to deck plates, there is a moral challenge. Because there’s a lot of folks that have quite frankly joined the organization with a vision of what their days work would look like, and that’s rapidly morphing and changing.” Then they asked if someone could translate that. I’ll take a shot at it, pick me, pick me! I think it means men and women who love this country thought they were joining an organization devoted to defending America and her citizens, and now they are learning CRT or DIE and having transgender drag shows on military bases for their kids. Yeah, that would present a moral challenge for me as well.

Then they tried to figure out why and identical rocket, or mortar shell or artillery shell manufactured in Israel costs less than half of what it costs if it’s manufactured in the United States. Pick me! Pick me! I’ll take is Lloyd Austin still on the board of Raytheon for $100 Alex! I may have my game shows mixed up here. A missile for the Iron Dome defense system costs $50,000 if manufactured in Israel, if it’s manufactured by U.S. it costs $125,000.

So what’s the answer? Shimshon and I have been watching Band of Brothers, again. How do we make the sacrifice paid by so many valid? Well, from Today’s Tanya (The one size fits all manual) reading:

From the foregoing, the answer to the heretics [may be deduced],

and there is exposed the root of the error of those who are deemed heretics not because they deny that G-d created the world, but because they deny individual Divine Providence and the signs and miracles recorded in the Torah.

Why do they deny this when they readily admit that G-d created the world? It is because:

They err in their false analogy,

in comparing the work of G-d, the Creator of heaven and earth, to the work of man and his schemes.

When a silversmith has completed a vessel, that vessel is no longer dependent upon the hands of the smith,

and even when his hands are removed from it and he goes his way, the vessel remains in exactly the same image and form as when it left the hands of the smith.

In the same way do these fools conceive the creation of heaven and earth.

They imagine that heaven and earth, once created, no longer need their Creator. They therefore deny individual Divine Providence and the signs and miracles recorded in the Torah, inasmuch as these indicate that G-d continues to be involved with creation and from time to time chooses to change the course of nature through miraculous means.

However, their eyes are covered so that they do not see the great difference between the work of man and his machinations, which consists of [making] one existent thing out of [another, already] existent thing,

merely changing the form and appearance, e.g., from an ingot of silver to a vessel,

G-d did not simply create the world and walk away leaving it’s growth to teachers or activists who are trying to convince tiny children they aren’t they way G-d made them. That G-d made a mistake, and they, the counselors and activists and social media can help them remedy. And if they will only do as they are told all their teenage angst will be gone and SHAZAM! They will be happy forever and ever.

This last weekend was Shavuot, the giving on the Torah on Mount Sinai. We were created, we were nurtured and when we had devolved while in slavery in Egypt we were taken out of slavery with his mighty hand. Then we were given Torah (The Bible) which told us how we are to live, rules and guidelines for living a decent life. Including laws for self defense I might add.

We remember this, we know that G-d thinks our lives are valuable, he creates us, we face challenges that grow us stronger and he is there with us. Somehow he created people with an extra dose or desire to protect others, and today we honor those that have paid that price. I honor them with a grateful heart, and I thank their family who I’m sure will always miss them.

G-d Bless Texas

I had planned to do this column tonight anyway, it’s not a warm and fuzzy column like all my others have been. /raw sarcasm

I’ve mentioned before I have a buddy in Nicaragua, he’s an American Ex-pat who’s been down there for around 20 years or so I’d guess. He’s the one that told me the American planes fly into their airport. Nicaraguan prisons are now empty, all the prisoners have been shipped to the US, now all the homeless have been rounded up off the streets and shipped to the US. All the paperwork is done there before they are loaded up and flown in. I’ve mentioned all this before. We were texting yesterday and he had an interesting bit of information for me. A brother of a friend of his came here illegally 6-7 months ago. He was flown into Springfield, MO. Heart of the country. This means he wasn’t counted as one of the illegal aliens entering the country or in any of the videos you see of the illegal aliens on the border. He was just quietly flown in by U.S. He got his shiny new citizenship yesterday. After 6-7 months. He was put up in a shelter, fed, clothed and housed, and given psychological counseling, so he could fit in better. I wonder if the counseling includes strong encouragement to vote Demoncrat and often in the next elections? But, with the new laws now his whole family can come! Of course they might need some financial assistance from U.S. I have a girlfriend that works in a hospital, a small hospital. She says it’s nothing to have 3 suicidal ideations in the ER in one night. And some are really young. I asked the youngest, she wouldn’t tell me. Where is their free government paid psychological counseling to undo the damage done by the some of the public schools right now? He now has a job, and is doing just fine. Several people my friend knows worked in hospitals in Nicaragua, they are now working in hospitals in America. Did they have to pass board exams? I don’t know. They weren’t threatened or forced to take the experimental gene therapy shots, I do know that. And most Nicaraguans didn’t want it.

Now here’s one threat I haven’t heard that many people talking about. This comes from Michael Yon, the war correspondent I’ve written about before. He has good information that you don’t get often from other sources. He’s been raising the alarms about the massive amount of deadly diseases they bring in. They aren’t being screened.

TuberCuBusses heading up the Tuberculosis Highway to United States — I made this video recently in Darien Provence, Panama. Our friends in Panama are being infected and damaged by US invasion of America. Huge numbers of innocent families will suffer from these unvetted coughs, itches, and bloody stools heading through Central America and Mexico on crowded buses.

He has a video he shot of the buses. https://twitter.com/Michael_Yon/status/1655062815940435968

In another short missive he talked about scabies that seem to be resistant to treatment.

I have a relative who was driving to a travel nursing assignment. En route, he spent one night in a reputable motel in the Southwest US. About 2-3 days later he developed a case of scabies (mite infestation – Sarcoptes scabiei). The saying “seven year itch” derives from scabies.

He has been treated with the standard treatments:

topical permethrin from head-to-toe for 8 hours (very toxic, potentially cancer causing med) – condition didn’t resolve so next was:

oral ivermectin for some days – still unresolved.

Next may be a form of “escalation therapy,” such as allethrin, permethrin, and ivermectin in combination.

Dermatologists may use videomicroscopy to confirm the presence of the live mites after standard treatment.

It appears he may have a case that is resistant to standard scabies treatment.

In the same post he talks about Typhus being spread by lice, and currently lice are popping up around the US and are stronger in Panama. He wonders if someone is setting U.S. up for epidemic typhus as they are now advising NOT to send school children home that have lice.

And on the buses and planes come.

So, why don’t we have them defending an AMERICAN border?

And with this column, Know Your Spies, and Paramilitaries Michael sets me up for my next to the last point.

Know Your Spies, and Paramilitaries — YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK There are credible reports of Chinese — who speak little or no English — at US gun ranges in United States. Not so long ago, the NSA, FBI, CIA, and the rest of the gang, allowed jihadists to slip into United States and practice on flight simulators commit mass murder on 9/11. Read the book THE LOOMING TOWER. Before 9/11, all the information was there. It was obvious. It was clear. Al Qaeda SAID they would attack and had already attacked before. When the second airplane hit the second tower, I instantly deeply suspected al Qaeda had done it. Because they SAID THEY WOULD attack and had been attacking, and I had been paying attention. And I knew the nature of that beast. I am TELLING YOU. With utter clarity. We are under attack. Enemies of various sorts are training at our own gun ranges. FBI, CIA, NSA — and all the other mousekateers did not stop the 9/11 attacks despite massive information and clear information with specific names and places of al Qaeda training on flight simulators within our borders. They were living in places like Florida. We have Chinese, Russians, Ukrainians, and more, with TOP SECRET and higher clearances in our most sensitive positions. It’s happening again. Massive numbers of Americans will die in many ways. War is my business. I know exactly what is happening. Stop what you are doing. Watch this video. And think about our borders. We are on our own.

The movie is a WWII training video.

My final source comes from a radio show I listened to this morning, one of the guests interviewed was JJ Carrell, a Retired Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge in the United States Border Patrol. He is saying within a generation the Natural born American citizen majority will be replaced by a non-citizen majority. He said many of those coming in are functionally illiterate in their native language. He made it clear he wasn’t disparaging them, but merely stating the facts of our newest government imported dependents. Uneducated, unskilled and millions and millions of them pouring in. Thank a Biden voter today! They are very easy to control though, for the government. For you when they try to steal your car, maybe not so much. He points out that all these free citizenships water down the impact of real citizenship. Their vote will count as much as yours. He’s guessing we’ve had 12-15 million come across now, and it could go to 20 million by the time the Biden crime regime is gone. JJ points out that Alejandro Mayorkas is driving all the policies. He was responsible for DACA, he’s responsible for ending Title 42, catch and release, prosecutorial discretion and for lying to Sen. Josh Hawley in congress. How did he get this power? Because Republicans gave it to him. Hello Cloward-Pivan.

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.)

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine)

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska)

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio)

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah)

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska)

But let’s talk about some of those innocent illegal aliens just coming here for a better life, and this was the real point I was getting at. What KIND of people are showing up at the border? Well, this particular bit comes from a border station in California, not the border in Texas everyone is focused on. There are mostly those from African nations, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Angolia, Nigeria, etc. Every day there are thousands of them that go squat just waiting. But every day there are about 50 of them that are red flagged as being suspected terrorists, or terrorist connections. Every day. Fifty. Of that fifty, five will be confirmed, the other 45 that couldn’t be confirmed for sure? They are released into the U.S. This is from ONE station. Just one station, in California, not Texas. The other 45 released with no safety precautions. It also came up that many of the illegal immigrants still owe the cartels. So they might receive a proposition from the cartel once they are safely ensconced in the U.S. You hit this crowd of people with your truck on this day, or you shoot up this crowd at a gun-free mall on this day, or you remember your Mom back in ______, we’re fed-exing you her head tomorrow. Your sister? We’ll send you a body part, do you have a preference? There are now thousands of illegal alien terrorists in our country. Thank a Biden voter today. Oh, and if one of those traitor Senators is still in office and is one of yours? Thank them too. But JJ pointed out many Republicans are to blame as well. Many of them want cheap labor, corporate gigs and donations, and they’ve done almost nothing. He also pointed out McConnell gave President Trump almost no money to work on the border because he wanted to send it to Ukraine and Afghanistan. He did have high praise for how much good President Trump had done on the border. He said we were about 8 months away from a totally secure border when elections happened. This is what Barry Sotero’s “fundamentally change America” looks like. My opinion is of course different, to me it looks like treason.

But, I said I had something good for you, and this comes from Michael Yon and Todd Bensman. Todd is on the border now. Now if this is old news, forgive me. I’ve been away from my computer all day. But it’s still worth applauding. Kind of. Apparently the end of Title 42 has had quite an effect of Gov. Greg Abbott.

So without further ado from Twitter tonight.

DHS is using an encrypted online chat room to tell Mexico where to send illegals to cross the border to avoid TX National Guard and DPS officers. DHS is using border detection tech to track TX law enforcement to alert Mexico where/when illegals should cross.

What is this TX National Guard I speak of?

Well, to set the scene, here’s a video of how our new aspiring citizens like to decorate their host country.

And here’s what Gov Abbott started yesterday. I LOVE arts and crafts projects!

https://twitter.com/i/status/1656689837561335808

Quite literally a Mexican standoff here in Matamoros looking across at Brownsville. ⁦

@GregAbbott_TX

⁩ national guard and DPS will not let them pass.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1656774732891533314

Now I find this interesting.

Looks like a looong Mexican standoff between Texas and the Biden DHS, which has been orchestrating immigrant swims in for two weeks now, according to exclusive

@CIS_org

reporting

The Texas National Guard are having to take on not only hundreds of thousands of illegal alien invaders, but also the Xiden crime regime and the cartels. Say a prayer for the Texas lads please! This is totally a Texas run operation. Border Patrol is not involved, as I’m sure Mayorkas would never allow it. I wonder how much the Xiden crime family and Mayorkas are getting in kickbacks?

https://twitter.com/i/status/1656788063559753728

Now this series is all one event. A group of illegal alien invaders tried to cross and were repelled by the Texans. The had to swim back across to Matamoros, but then they just moved further up to a weedy swampy area defended by only 3 Texans. I understand the Red Cross guy was telling them not to take the kids into that water, but who knows. It’s Red Cross, maybe he was just telling them to pay for their donuts before they crossed. I dunno. Anyway, 6 part video.

Maybe more thanks to ⁦

@GregAbbott_TX

⁩ than President Biden, the first post Title 42 days – in this area – will be calmer than expected without it. This gubernatorial tactic of sending Texas uniforms to block immigrants just above waterline seemed pretty defeating.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1656826678851559424

The illegal alien invaders decided to try night crossing and go up river.

The immigrants get right up to the razor wire and Texans and then move laterally along them for hundreds of yards but don’t get in. Border Patrol is completely absent from all this here at the matamoros- Brownsville crossing areas

https://twitter.com/i/status/1656874167935827968

The Texans shout out scripted lines when the immigrants start hitting the water. “It’s dangerous” … “stop! “Turn back right now and go to a port of entry” “it’s dangerous to take your kids into the river” The Texican Standoff!

https://twitter.com/i/status/1656875656741888000

Sometimes the Texans just play an automotone recording through a loud speaker warning the immigrants away but the immigrant advance is almost robotic too….relentless,probing.. inexorable

https://twitter.com/i/status/1656877509944770561

None shall pass.

So as I said, I’ve had this column brewing today. Then tonight we are doing day 36 in the counting of the Omer. This was the day’s thought from the app I’m using for my prayer and it comes with a thought for each day. So maybe I’m not Texas National Guard, maybe I’m not a famous war correspondent, or a gutsy reporter on the border, but I can pray for all of them. Maybe I can find a way to send some donuts or ice cream to the Texas National Guard. Maybe I can thank Gov Abbott. These are are simple things, but that’s exactly the point of the thought for today’s meditation.

Ban All The Guns?

So demands the irrational Here4TheKids.

Guns ARE the problem. Here4TheKids is a national movement with a state focus.

We demand that Colorado Governor Jared Solis sign an executive order to ban guns and buy them back.

An executive order pushes Democrats to finally TAKE REAL ACTION to put an end to this nightmare.

They plan to hold a sit-in — which somehow isn’t a “protest” — in Denver on June 5, 2023. If Solis is psychotic enough to do as they wish, their “nightmare” has just begun.

Their site doesn’t list any contact email; just a couple of form to “volunteer” or register for the sit-in. I guess they don’t want to answer any inconvenient questions. Like…

1. You may not like it, but doesn’t the Second Amendment exist?

2. Didn’t HELLER establish the the right to keep and bear arms preexisted the Second Amendment; that it only protects a right that exists anyway?

3. Didn’t MCDONALD establish that the Second Amendment is incorporated to the states, meaning Colorado and Solis have tto obey it, too?

4. Didn’t BRUEN establish that restrictions on the Second with no general, historical tradition are unconstitutional; and that it protects arms beyond those in existence at the time of ratification?

5. Does this mean that Here4TheKids is advocating for the overthrow — by fiat executive order, no less — of the Second Amendment and the Constitution that established the authority of the Supreme Court? Basically, the overthrow of our Constitutional representative republic. The overthrow of the government?

6. Doesn’t that get into treason territory?

So… another set of victim-disarming lefties who want to do away with the Constitution and courts. As I recently noted:

Baker had better hope that the Courts don’t get disavowed. The little remaining confidence in the courts is the only thing standing between himself, and his doorkickers, and six to twelve million heavily armed, non-compliant SOBs.

A final question for the lunatics at Here4TheKids: Do you really want to declare Hunting Season… on yourselves? Because once we can no longer rely on the Constitution, Courts, or basic sanity on the part of idiots like you, I’m afraid there are some who would be happy to take matters into their own hands, and rid themselves of infringers.

And their cheerleaders. Like you.

We’ll try to talk those excitable folks down, but if you actually manage to field confiscating door-kickers, it won’t be easy.

And we’ll have less incentive to try to control them.

“All that nonsense about the Second Amendment”

Lefty Russ Baker says it’s time to get rid of America’s guns. And that pesky Second Amendment isn’t a problem. If he’s trying to climb out of his recent obscurity, he didn’t think it through. His solution?

Just ignore it.

Why Nearly All of America’s 400 Million Guns Have Got To Go
Everyone already knows all the reasons “nothing will be done.” Congress, as currently constituted, will not pass meaningful legislation. We need a better Congress. Courts are more interested in protecting the dubiously cited Second Amendment than in protecting kids. We need better judges and better law.
[…]
So I would say that the rest of us need to stop mollifying them. Forget all that nonsense about the Second Amendment.

Just forget it. After all…

Obviously it won’t be easy, and a small number of Second Amendment hard-liners will resist violently

Only a few will resist. Of course, that’s “only a few” of more than one hundred million people. Based on surveys I’ve seen for the past few years, more like 120 million. Russ’ stormtroopers will be in trouble if even 5% of 120 million “resist violently.” Six millions HANSOBs would make quick work of them, despite Baker’s irrational belief otherwise.

None will actually defend us against our military or other militaries. Guns in the hands of untrained, unvetted, potentially irresponsible users do much more harm than good. Period.

Tell it to the Taliban. Or the four terrorists who tied up 90,000 police and troops for days.

Untrained? He might note the large number of gun-owning military veterans. Or the competetion in the field of firearms training classes. Or the millions of concealed carry licensees, which is several states requires training.

The boy is delusional.

But note his disdain for the courts upholding that stupid 2A. Where have we seen that before?

Occasionally-firing-Cortex, demanding that the Xiden administration just ignore court decisions that she’s dislikes.

The current “Campaign to Delegitimize the U.S. Supreme Court” with dubious ethics complaints, and again, calls to ignore rulings.

I do see that Baker does like one — former — Justice’s “opinion” on the 2A.

Even conservative Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger said the argument that it referred to individual gun ownership (and not the clearly stated “well-regulated militia” being necessary to “the security of a free State”) was a misrepresentation of the Constitution, law, and history.

I love how these anti-rights types trot out that Parade magazine opinion from an elderly retiree. If Burger truly thought that the 2A was being misinterpreted…

why didn’t he use his position as Chief Justice to espouse it, instead of waiting until retirement to write an opinion column not subject to Associate Justice ridicule and judicial dissent?

I’ll see Baker’s 30-something year-old magazine opinion, and raise him four real SCOTUS decisions: HELLER, MCDONALD, CAETANO, and BRUEN. That’s on top of MILLER, CRUIKSHANK, PRESSER, and even DRED SCOTT, all prior to Burger’s little adventure in post-retirement attention-seeking.

Baker had better hope that the Courts don’t get disavowed. The little remaining confidence in the courts is the only thing standing between himself, and his doorkickers, and six to twelve million heavily armed, non-compliant SOBs.

Hanson v. DC: “Large Capacity” Magazine Ban

I’ve only been up for a couple of hours (as I begin typing), and the news is already full of stupidity that I’ll need to address. I’ll lead off with a case challenging Washington, DC’s “large capacity” magazine ban, Hanson v. DC. The judge, one Rudolph Contreras, denied a preliminary injunction against the ban. His… reasoning is… remarkable. Or something; I’m trying to be somewhat polite.

A weapon may have some useful purposes in both civilian and military contexts, but if it is most useful in military service, it is not protected by the Second Amendment.
[…]
[Large capacity magazines] are not covered by the [2A] because they are most useful in military service.

Oddly, Contreras cites HELLER in making that point. I can’t find that argument in HELLER, which was largely about whether non- military weapons could be regulated, and how, but there is this.

It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful in military service—M–16 rifles and the like—may be banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely detached from the prefatory clause. But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty. It may well be true today that a militia, to be as effective as militias in the 18th century, would require sophisticated arms that are highly unusual in society at large.

Rather the opposite of Contreras’ weasel-wording, eh? Indeed, HELLER even cites the earlier MILLER, which establishes that militarily-useful arms are protected by the Second Amendment.

In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a ‘shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length’ at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument.

Having chucked decades of SCOTUS precedent already, Contreras proceeds to demonstrate an amazing lack of judicial awareness of current events and Supreme Court decisions. Now that he’s established in his own deluded mind that standard capacity magazines are not 2A-protected, he addresses whether this particular restriction of such magazines is permissable.

WARNING: If you’re drinking, swallow before proceeding, for the protection of your screen.

Under this “two-step approach,” a court must “ask first whether a particular provision impinges upon a right protected by the Second Amendment; if it does, then . . . go on to determine whether the provision passes muster under the appropriate level of constitutional scrutiny.

Umm… BRUEN, moron. (All right; “somewhat polite” is off the table after all.) Associate Justice Thomas spent a fair amount of ink taking lower courts to task for continuing to use the two-step approach.

The Court rejects that two-part approach as having one step too many. Step one is broad y consistent with Heller, which demands a test rooted in the Second Amendment’s text, as informed by history. But Heller and McDonald do not support a second step that applies means-end scrutiny in the Second Amendment context. Heller’s methodology centered on constitutional text and history. It did not invoke any means-end test such as strict or intermediate scrutiny, and it expressly rejected any interest-balancing inquiry akin to intermediate scrutiny.</b
[…]
To justify its regulation, the government may not simply posit that the regulation promotes an important interest.
[…]
The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.

HELLER rejected two-step government interest scrutiny.

MCDONALD rejected two-step government interest scrutiny.

BRUEN rejected two-step government interest scrutiny, and bitch-slapped lower courts for continuing to use it in direct defiance of the Supreme Court.

At this point, I wouldn’t blame Clarence Thomas if he is looking for a 2X4 and Contreras’ home address.

Trump Vows To Do More

Trump spoke at the NRA’s annual meeting.

Reminding gun owners what he did for the protection of the Second Amendment and pledging to do much more, former President Donald Trump closed the National Rifle Association’s main event Friday with a stemwinder that brought the crowd to its feet.

What he did for 2A protection? Lessee…

He did roll back a bizarre interpretation of 3D printer files as munitions (something that report falsely characterizes as “banning 3D-printed guns”). And he reversed the VA’s blatantly unconstitutional and illegal reporting of people to NICS. I’ll give him those.

On the other hand, he also signed Fix NICS, prompting states to arbitrarily convert more people into prohibited persons and felons.

And there was that Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals appointee who thinks, “the Second Amendment has no application to state laws.” What could possibly go wrong?

Even more damaging, he magically turned inert pieces plastic into machineguns, by executive fiat. That did more damage to 2A-protected rights than any Dim president had managed in decades. Estimates vary, but turned tens to hundreds of thousands of people into unindicted felons. And more than a few indicted and convicted.

Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool. Well, Trump did used to be a Dimocrat.

He established the precedent that federal bureaucrats are free to redefine words at will, without enabling legislation, to call any damned thing they want “machineguns.” And the ATF immediately ran with it; they live for this… excrement.

The Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15 trigger group, which requires the trigger be pulled for each round fired, suddenly became a “machinegun,” by using the exact same “logic” of “operation of operation of the trigger” really meaning “volitional movement of the finger. Oops; more newly-minted felons.

On a roll with redefining words, they came for pictures. Yep, thanks to Trump’s precedent, the ATF decided that line drawings of unassembled pieces of lightning links really are machineguns. A couple of folks are on trial for that even now, including a guy who let people run ads for the Auto Keycard, but never even sold them himself.

The Trump precedential damage continued with braced pistols becoming short-barrel rifles, after they specifically were not. But at least they gave you the options of begging permission to pay for the privilege of keeping them, or self-incriminating and hoping they’d make an exception for you. More felons.

And he’s “pledging to do much more?” While didn’t act on them before, Trump has supported no-due process red flag orders, raising the age to buy any firearm to 21, and an “assault weapon” ban. Is that the “more” he’s promising? If the Dims were paying attention, they’d nominate Trump themselves over Xiden.

On the bright side, Trump’s Supreme Court picks might… might eventually repair the damage he did to the Second Amendment. But his actions will still cost us millions of dollars in legal expenses, endless man hours, and hard work — not to mention the harm done to plaintiffs and improperly charged defendants — to get the Court to reverse him. (And note that the brilliant BRUEN decision was not written by a Trump appointee.)

If it were just his SCOTUS picks, economic work, and the incredible Abraham Accords, I’d be happy to see Trump elected again. But the man has zero impulse control on Second Amendment issues; he can demonstrably be panicked into rash action by any high profile incident.

And we have to live with his impulses.

When Rights are Privileges

As you may, or not know, the United Nations has claimed there is no human right to self-defense.

Does a woman have a human right to resist rape or murder? Do people have a human right to resist tyranny? The United Nations Human Rights Council has said no – that international law recognizes no human right of self-defense. To the contrary, the Human Rights Council declares that very severe gun control – more restrictive than even the laws of New York City – is a human right.

Unless of course, one is a member of the U.N.

“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

I would maintain that this is because the U.N. thinks they are G-d. G-d has a different command.

“If someone rises to kill you, rise up to kill him first.” This one is an under 8 minute video.

Psalms 144:1

1 Praise be to the L-RD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

As well as we are commanded to look out for the weaker or helpless.

Psalms 82:4

4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

So, what has set me off on this? An incident that happened in formerly red state Texas. And maybe Texas is still a red state, Austin however, is not. If Texas had any sense they would expel Austin.

In July 2020, during the summer of riots for a man that overdosed on drugs, had a criminal record including pointing a gun at a pregnant woman’s stomach, a BLM/Antifa rioter decided it would be a great idea to point a loaded rifle at a soldier who was working as a ride share driver. Apparently BLM/Antifa scum thought he would be the only one armed. He guessed wrong. Sgt. Daniel Perry was armed. When his car was surrounded after he had dropped his passenger off, and aforementioned BLM/Antifa rioter pointed his rifle at Sgt. Perry, Sgt. Perry shot him. This seems sensible to me.

This will be the last sensible thing in this saga for some time.

The Travis county jury found Sgt. Perry guilty of murder. Unbelievable. But wait, there’s more.

Detective In Daniel Perry Self-Defense Case Says Soros-Backed Prosecutor Told Him To “Remove Exculpatory Information”

Fugitt said, “It became clear to me that the District Attorney’s office did not want to present evidence to the grand jury that would be exculpatory to Daniel Perry and/or show the witnesses statements obtained by the family of Garrett Foster and/or their attorneys were inconsistent with prior interviews such witnesses gave the police and/or the video of the incident in question.

And now we’re at the point where the adults are going to have to intercede.

Texas AG Paxton Slams Soros-Backed DA After Jury Finds Army Sergeant Guilty of Murder For Fatally Shooting Armed BLM-Antifa Protester in Self-Defense

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton slammed Soros-backed Travis County DA Jose Garza after a jury convicted a Texas soldier of murder for shooting a BLM-Antifa terrorist in self-defense.

A Texas soldier was found guilty of murder on Friday after Soros-backed District Attorney Jose Garza sought murder charges for an act of self defense during the 2020 George Floyd riots.

Texas AG Ken Paxton slammed the Soros prosecutor after Governor Abbott refused appear on Tucker Carlson’s show to speak on the case.

Apparently the State of Texas no longer recognizes the right of self-defense. @GregAbbott_TX is welcome to come on and discuss. pic.twitter.com/A7o5MvZTVy

Texas Governor Seeks to Pardon Army Sergeant Convicted of Killing Gun-Wielding Protester

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he is seeking to pardon the U.S. Army sergeant who was convicted of shooting dead a man wielding a gun at him during a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020.

Abbott announced on April 8 that he will pardon Sgt. Daniel Perry, 37, who was working for Uber in Austin at the time, as soon as a request from the state’s parole board “hits my desk.”

“I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry,” Abbott wrote on Twitter.

I would say our criminal justice system is well and truly jacked up. But what should we expect when you have people that actually vote for a communist that says he wants to send unarmed social workers out to crime scenes. Yep, that’s what Chiraq chose to replace Beetlejuice in Chicago, whom they wanted rid of due to the spiraling crime rates. Frying pan, meet fire.

There is a heck of a disconnect between the brain of a leftist and reality. Of course, if they used voting machines for the elections, who knows.

Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson (D) told CBS News on Thursday his plan to tackle the city’s crime problem: Send more social workers to crime scenes.

Johnson, a staunch progressive, pointed to instances where police killed black men as evidence to say more police officers are not the solution.

While this is away from the topic of self-defense, it does I think give a clue to the mindset of the politicians on the left.

IT NEVER ENDS: Biden Regime Set to Unleash Scheme to Wipe Out Gasoline-Powered Cars

The Biden regime is determined to force Americans to swallow their radical “climate change” agenda by any means necessary.

FOX News revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will announce the most restrictive standards in American history on gas-powered cars. The regulations will specifically target tailpipe emissions.

Under this plan, all Americans will likely be forced to buy electric vehicles, which is exactly what Biden wants.

Did this go through Congress? Senate? House? Hellloooo, did ya’ll vote for this? You’re our elected representatives, you answer to U.S. Did you sign off on this? Or did a tyrant just hijack your job in another blatant attempt to help China and limit the freedom of movement of American Citizens? The EPA, I don’t remember voting for them.

This is where I’m going with this, yes, there is a Second Amendment. However, if the Soros purchased D.A.s just ignore it (for some, not the protected class of course) and go ahead a prosecute even in a clear case of self-defense, does it matter? No ammo or guns were banned, it’s just if you defend yourself they will try to bankrupt you, or put you in jail for defending your life. If you’re not one of the BLM/Antifa rioters, or a repeat offender criminal, those they do catch and release.

Sometimes I read threads on Quora, there are discussion thread on all kinds of things. You might be reading a thread on a TV show, and the next thread under it is a question posted about “what would happen if I decided to take a gun away from someone I saw carrying” “Is there any reason I and some friends shouldn’t follow someone into a bathroom we know is carrying a gun and take it away from them”. “When will gun owners admit their right to have their weapons of death should not interfere with my right to feel safe”.

It is absolutely appalling to me the number of people that think they have the right to forcibly take private property from someone they don’t know, they aren’t doing anything wrong, and these moonbats think they are well within their rights to attack someone and steal from them. Thank you colleges, universities and MSM aka #FakeNews. If anything ever was a argument for concealed carry, it’s this sort of thing.

There is NO common ground to be found with these people. None.

Two Tears Justice

I know, I know, it should be two tiered justice system, but for my purpose, it’s two tears.

Pesach starts tomorrow night, the holiday when we celebrate G-d taking us from the slavery of Egypt to live in freedom, making a place for G-d in this world, and having a relationship with him. Pretty amazing stuff isn’t it? The creator of the universe wants to have a relationship with us. So after a series of miracles, the Egyptians can’t wait for us to leave. And for us, leaving behind a life of slavery, always working for someone else, for their benefit, never to enjoy the fruits of your own labor no matter how hard you work, no control over your own life, where you live, what you do. Somehow it just doesn’t stack up to living with a loving G-d who will later give the rules for living in such a way as to make him happy, and in so doing make ourselves happy.

One of the things that happened in the desert was Jethro, Moshe’s father-in-law, suggested a judicial system for the people. Wise judges would be appointed to solve disputes and problems, freeing up Moshe who was trying to do it all by himself. There were guidelines for being a judge.

Every judge was required to have the following seven attributes: wisdom, humility, awe of heaven, a loathing for money (even his own), a love for truth, the love of the people at large, and a good reputation.

In addition, to be appointed to the greater or lesser sanhedrin, one had to have achieved distinction in Torah knowledge and possess some knowledge of intellectual disciplines such as medicine, mathematics, calendar, astronomy, astrology and the teachings of idolatry, so that he would know how to judge cases concerning those fields. He could not be too old or childless when appointed, since someone with a family is more likely to be sympathetic and merciful. Members of the sanhedrin could be kohanim, Levites, or Israelites of fine pedigree.

As I watch our country’s judicial system disintegrate before our eyes with the weaponization of our justice system against ordinary Americans one can only look on with stunned horror.

In just the last week or so, Jacob Chansley (The Q anaon shaman in the buffalo horn hat) has been released from prison. Yea! It was in response to the segment Tucker Carlson did showing the video of the capitol police showing him around and opening doors for him. He’s been in prison for over two years. The demoncrat head of the senate Chuckie Cheese fought tooth and nail to keep those tapes from being released. Chuckie wants innocent people in prison. He then told FOX news to shut down Tucker showing the video, and I guess they did. The Bill of Rights has been thrown away with regards to the January 6th attendees. Jan 6th Prisoners – Detained and Forgotten and that article is over a year old. Not much has changed, a corrupt judge is not allowing prisoners access to the film that could help clear them as it did Jacob. The corrupt DOJ has said it’s getting ready to round up more. These people aren’t just political prisoners, they’re hostages. In the middle ages when they took hostages, it was to ensure a certain behavior of the group of people the hostage came from. You act up? We kill your uncle. In this case, they want everyone to see the injustice. They want the whole world to know if people dare assemble to make a political point, or express an opinion the demoncrats will use the corrupt justice system to put you in jail and throw away the key. Literally. The left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) claim the political right are violent and to be feared, meanwhile on the left you have an elected demoncrat calling for murder. “Kill Everyone Now!” Wyoming Democrat Lawmaker Posts Video Calling for Politically Motivated Murders – Posts Threatening Photo on Social Media and she’s not the only demoncrat amused by violence towards the right. Biden Laughs at Violence and Transgender Vengeance. The left are the ones that celebrate and encourage wanton violence.

Or the corrupt demoncrat DOJ is just trying to lock up every potential Trump voter one by one. I guess when you can’t win elections because no one wants what you’re selling you resort to anything to hang on to power.

Which is probably why our former President Donald Trump was arrested. Even lawyers on the left have admitted the charges for basically entering an expense in the wrong column, for which the statute of limitations is long expired, and then trying to turn that into a felony. Well, who else has entered things into the wrong column? Oh John Edwards and Hillary Clintoon. Presidential Candidate John Edwards Acquitted On Campaign Finance Charge, Hillary Clinton Only Paid Fine for Violation and they actually did do something wrong.

So “Fat Alvin” Bragg has been turning violent criminals loose right and left, well, only the ones on the left really. Mayor Eric Adams gave a stern speech prior to people attending a rally in NYC in support of President Trump, about no violence or misbehaving….where was that speech two years ago when BLM and Antifa trashed sections of New York? Absent, he just let it happen and “Fat Alvin” did nothing but turn them loose. But there is one other crime “Fat Alvin” considers worthy of prosecution, self-defense. He sent a bodega worker to Riker’s Island for defending himself when an irate shoplifter tried to stab him to death, and now he was going to charge a parking lot attendant who was shot by an aspiring thief with attempted murder after the parking lot attendant managed to get the gun away from the man who just shot him, and use it to shoot his assailant. Alvin Bragg needs to face ethics charges. If nothing else for lack of. But not only is the prosecutor dirty, the judge needs to be recused. He was shopped for. The Judge Overseeing Trump’s Case Might Have a Major Conflict of Interest

I’ve heard this called the most blatant case of election interference ever. Not just by sane Americans either. By the President of El Salvador.

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele says America has lost all arguments when it comes to the concept of democracy in the midst of the Trump indictment and arraignment.

Last week when it was announced that President Trump would be indicted, Bukele put out a statement via social media that stated “Imagine if this happened to a leading opposition presidential candidate here in El Salvador”

He later added: “Sadly, it’ll be very hard for US Foreign Policy to use arguments such as ‘democracy’ and ‘free and fair elections’, or try to condemn ‘political persecution’ in other countries, from now on.”

Many many people no longer trust elections, and it’s more than obvious we can’t trust the justice system any longer. Our country is slipping away, and I shed a tear. We live in a place that takes the fruit of our labor from us and for their own personal financial gain ships it to foreign countries, hobbles our country with red tape and regulations, while allowing the collapse of it’s infrastructure. Many of us see clearly what’s happening, meanwhile the news readers and political commentators, a role that used to be filled by actual humorous comedians, are all gloating it’s demise to an audience that claps like trained seals as they hoot and jeer. They have no clue they are rejoicing the third heart attack of America. They don’t care about citizens or how bad it gets, so long as they “get Trump” They will stand there and applaud as the flames reach ever higher destroying even more. If they can’t control, they will happily burn it all down. That’s the left.

And it’s consistent the world over.

In Israel what is being billed as the “death of democracy”, familiar phrase, eh what, as the left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) calls judicial reform. The Israeli election system doesn’t function as ours does. For one they use paper ballots. But for another, you don’t vote for candidates. You vote for political parties. They party tells you their platform, what they stand for, what they will do for/to you and then gives you a list of their candidates in order. The more seats they win they more of their candidates get a seat in the Knesset. Then the Knesset who is responsible to the voters passes laws. If the voters don’t like what the party is doing in the Knesset they won’t get many votes in the next election. Which is why the right won so heavily this last election. People don’t like living with the result of leftist policies. Well, in American cities like Chiraq and NYC they must. Look at what they elect. But back to Israel. So the Knesset passes laws, then the Israeli Supreme Court says “nope, you can’t have that law, we don’t like it.” Huh. The Israeli supreme court isn’t done like our supreme court used to be done. In the old days the President would nominate someone who (hopefully) had a record of accurate adherence to the Constitution, since the job is determining how the case before them fits with the Constitution. Of course now Joe Xiden just nominate a stupid person that is the right color with the right anatomical features. Doesn’t matter if they are dumb as a box of rocks. But I sadly must point out, they got confirmed. But the Israeli Supreme court? No, those justices are nominated by other justices already on the court. And since the court has only left wing moon bats, who do you think they nominate? Yep, more left wing moon bats. So you have a small group of people that decide how things will be done in Israel, and the citizens have no recourse. They can’t vote them out of office. Pretty appalling, huh? Which begs the question why are the streets filled with people protesting taking power away from the supreme court and restoring it to the people and their elected representatives. A few reasons.

The mainstream media, the bat rabid left (often one in the same) have convinced the people that their elected representatives passing laws is a bad thing, and they are being paid. Sound familiar?

The left suffered a major defeat on election day so they decided that if they can’t run the country… there won’t be a country to run

Shmuel was part of Zehut, my fav Israeli political party.

Let’s get back to answering the question. There definitely is a serious problem in Israel, but it’s not what you think. I have spoken to many of the protestors and the overwhelming majority of them have no idea what “judicial reform” is all about. The original ones that started screaming a few months back had genuine objections about proposed changes to Israel’s judicial system but that expanded into something far bigger than the original protest. Today’s protests are organized by sore-losers who cannot accept defeat and realize that they will never win at the ballot boxes… so they took their supporters to the streets instead.

….

Had this been explained in a clear and simple way, the protest movement would have ended before it began. However, the government dismissed these protests as meaningless. However, the attorney general forbade Netanyahu from speaking on the issue, calling it a conflict of interest. Her conflict of interest was glossed over – after all, the plan reduced the authority of the most powerful figure in Israel’s judiciary except for the Chief Justice.

This was a gamechanger. The right also didn’t realize how well organized and, especially, how well funded the protestors were. People were being paid to attend these rallies – I know this for a fact; 250 shekel to attend the rally plus an additional 100 shekel for transportation expenses.

Sound familiar?

So who’s paying them? We are. The state department and probably some other various hidden sources from within the US government. Netanyahu Proclaims “Israel is a Sovereign Country” After Biden Regime Is Accused of Sponsoring VIOLENT INSURRECTION This Week

A ‘resistance’ coup just defeated Israeli democracy

A false narrative about Netanyahu’s “judicial coup” may achieve its goal of toppling him. But more than that, the consequences for future governments and U.S.-Israel relations are ominous

The left is the left is the left. The world over, they are all about power and control over people. They want them helpless and totally defenseless against them. There was a Heartland Institute and Rasmussen poll that was done in 2022, it was very revealing.

This poll highlighted just how authoritarian the left was becoming during Covid-19…

Among Democrat voters:

– 55% supported fines against the unvaccinated simply for refusing the jab.

– 59% supported permanent house confinement for anyone who refused to get vaccinated.

– 48% supported fines or PRISON for questioning vaccine efficacy on social media.

– 45% supported the government having the ability to put the unnvaccinated in “designed facilities” aka internment camps.

– 47% supported “a government tracking program” to monitor unvaccinated citizens.

– 29% supported the state being able to REMOVE UNVACCINATED PARENTS’ CUSTODY OVER THEIR OWN CHILDREN.

Choices

Honest to goodness, I keep expecting Vicky Nuland to show up in Israel at a protest or the next Antifa/BLM riot and hand out bread and donuts like she did in Ukraine in 2014. Because both countries are undergoing what looks to be a color revolution.

The irony of citizens in both countries begging to be put back into slavery right before Pesach because they can not see the left for what it is, nor discern their lies saddens me greatly. If the left can’t control, they will burn it down.  I shed a tear for each of them. Two tears.

But Pesach is the time of miracles, a time for joy, and a time to rejoice freedom. I will pray and we will see if the time is right for G-d to send us more miracles. He can do so anytime he wants. May it be soon.

“The Majority Of The People Think”

Cognitively challenged Uncle Gropey Biden purports to know what all Americans think. He doesn’t know what he thinks, even with a teleprompter. (This is the senile, serial plagiarist, serial fabulist who just mistook two pistols and a pistol caliber carbine for two select-fire AK-47 assault rifles.)

Joe Biden: “The Majority of the American People Think Having Assault Weapons is Bizarre. It’s a Crazy Idea!

Even if true — and have you ever seen a poll that accurately and specifically described what the pollster means by “assault weapon” — so the eff what?

America is not an absolute, direct democracy, where anything goes so long as an alleged majority want it. We are — or are supposed to be — a constitutional republic.

It says so right here.

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

That means eligible voters elect representatives, who in turn legislate within the constraints of the Constitution.

What can Congress do? That is specifically listed in Article I, Section 8. Read that list and just try to find “ban the possession of any firearm by the citizens.”

Where arms are mentioned in the Constitution, the Second Amendment…

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

And since the oathbreakers are still dreaming up imaginary “governmental needs” to rationalize it: Tenth Amendment.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

While you’re looking at that, Xiden (someone help him with the big words), notice that “States” and “people” are listed specifically and separately. When the Constitution means States, it says States. When it means the individual people, it says people. So blow that The Second Amendment means the States can have militias stuff out your… nether regions.

For those still having trouble with the concept, look at SCOTUS decisions in HELLER, MCDONALD, and BRUEN.

For those stupid enough to raise the old But they’re weapons of war; we must ban them, go for it.

Weapons are war are the only class of weapons that SCOTUS ruled are absolutely protected by the Second Amendment.

These show plainly enough that the Militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. ‘A body of citizens enrolled for military discipline.’ And further, that ordinarily when called for service these men were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time.

No doubt Xiden will be threatening US citizen with tanks, fighter jets, and bombs again any time now.
