Well that fits the narrative well. More “ammo” to justify red flag laws.
Not really. In fact, some folks will probably hope this goes away, because they won’t want to draw attention to the massive series of failures on the part of law enforcement.
Maine has a “yellow flag law,” instead of the left’s preferred no-due process “red flag” laws.
The law differs from red flag laws in that it requires police first to get a medical practitioner to evaluate the person and find them to be a threat before police can petition a judge to order the person’s firearms to be seized.
A formal evaluation by a medical professional and a hearing. How ’bout that? What the left doesn’t like about this is that only the police can request this, and that hearing.
In the case of the Lewiston killer, the police had every reason and opportunity to invoke the yellow flag law.
In May, in a written statement, the perp’s ex-wife informed the police that he was mentally unstable, a danger to others, and that he possessed several firearms.
Other family members contacted the police to inform them that he was unstable and dangerous. Law enforcement attempted several “wellness checks,” sometimes reaching, somethimes not. At one point, the sheriff reportedly told a responding deputy to blow it off; because the sheriff knew of the killer-to-be, and figured he’d just get over it as he had other times.
In July, he was involuntarily committed, making him a prohibited person. Reportedly, New York law enforcement was involved.
In September, the National Guard informed Maine law enforcement that he was nuts and dangerous. For once, they did something: they issued a statewide alert on him.
And cancelled it a few days later. About a week later, he started his killing spree.
At no point did Maine law enforcement decide that this guy, whom they knew to be 1) crazy, 2) dangerous, and 3) armed, should be “yellow flag” and taken into custody for evaluation and seizing his firearms. Now add in that, with the National Guard’s alert, they should alos have known that he was a prohibited person. And took no action.
All the Baker Acts, red flag laws, and yellow flag laws in the world won’t help if the authorities refuse to use them. In Card’s case, I suspect that he was part of the good ol’ boy network; as a firearms trainer, he may have even trained the sheriff’s deputies. So the sheriff didn’t want to cause the guy legal problems; after all, it was as if he’d killed anyone. Yet. He’ll get over it. Again. Right?.
So they didn’t, and he didn’t. And poeple died because of it.
Just a few random and sundry thoughts about the continuing war against Israel, civilization and humanity.
The death toll continues to rise, around 1400 last I heard and the number of hostages is around 238 I believe. Hamass also takes the bodies of the dead, because Jews give the dead the due respect of a proper burial. When Jews were forcefully evacuated from Gaza in 2005 in the horribly misguided (and anti-Torah) attempt at land for peace called the two-state solution all of the cemeteries were emptied of their dead and they were reburied in other parts of Israel. Because they knew the Falestinians would dig up the bodies and desecrate them. They knew this, and yet they thought giving them a place next door to launch rockets from would bring peace. Astonishing. Demoncrats and the U.N. yammer on about two-state solutions and there has been one since 2005, it’s called Jew free Gaza. In 2006 the Falestinians elected Hamass to represent them, by over 70%. Part of Hamass’s charter is to kill every Jew. Explain to me about the poor peaceful innocent citizens of Gaza. Go ahead. And while we’re on that topic, if you haven’t seen the videos of the terrorists driving back into Gaza with the captives, allow me to share how the innocent citizens of Gaza reacted. If the Israeli, or Thai, or Ukrainian or Russian, or American were the target, they were beaten, tortured, raped and possibly killed. Not by Hamass, by the inhabitants. I think I need to quit using the word citizen because that implies something human. I think inhabitant is going to be my choice. Last I heard in Gaza there was an 80% approval rating for Hamass. Of course that could have been before the blockade. Since hamass steals the food, water, fuel and supplies and hides them in the tunnels for the terrorists, the inhabitants that voted for them might be feeling the pinch. Oh wait, nope, my bad. Turns out the whole world is clamoring for Israel to allow humanitarian aid in. Of course. But the blockade is the leverage to getting the hostages back. If things get bad enough the denizens of Gaza may begin to spill what they know about the hostages. The world can’t have that! The baby killers must be protected at all costs! Think of the rights of the rapist the college students in full throated ignorance bray!
But these pro-terrorist rallies are going on around the world.
Turns out George Soros and the Tides foundation are financing many. Color me shocked. I heard one host talking about the group having people all over that can be mobilized quickly for any kind of intersectional (think BLM, George Floyd, Antifa) type riot. Another attempt to destabilize Western culture. Hey hey, ho ho, western civ has got to go. The irony of the one in Egypt is that hamass is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Yes, the ones that Egyptians threw out after obama and the CIA lead a revolution and put Morsi in. The Egyptians didn’t put up with it and El-Sisi took over. So now the Egyptians love the MB? Fine, ask El-Sisi to step aside and take them back. The Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed in Egypt. But there they are in Cairo…Of course you can get stupid college students to do it for free. In fact they’ll pay to do it. It’s called tuition. Where do they learn this stuff?? Oh, right. Cornell Professor “Exhilarated” by Hamas’s Attack Defends Remark. How could this happen? Oh, right. Cornell professor says faculty is ‘extremely anti-Israel,’ calls on board to pause DEI efforts on campus Seems targeting whites is perfectly fine, and the Jews are seen as whites. Of course as many people know, Jews come in every color, white, brown, black. You would think the left would be totally enamored with Jews as they truly represent physical diversity, and as well all know, all that matters is skin color. It’s not just the professors, it’s the school administration shows at the Cooper Union Library incident. Jewish students were trapped inside the library as the defenders of barbarism pounded on the doors and demanded to be let in. The librarians had locked the doors, the mob had cruised right by the school security guards who sprang into did nothing. Students called family and friends who called the police, who did show up and were told by the school not to intervene. That’s right, no arrests were made. The librarians helpfully suggested the Jewish students could hide in the attic. Of course I’m not making it up, I’m too angry. This is where we are in America. 1930 Germany. Cooper Union ‘protest’ proves lefty Jew-hate is institutional,
From the river to the sea, Falestine….anyone ever look at a map? They’re calling for the genocide and erasure of all Israelis. And people don’t realize that? I’d say are they that stupid? But apparently that’s been mistaken for a challenge. I can’t joke, about it, but the Babylon Bee did.
Stephens was joined by a number of her fellow students who all agreed that none of them would have allowed the evil Nazi ideology to spread in the years prior to World War II. “What the Nazis did was really awful,” said sophomore Allison Davis. “Singling out one ethnic group, blaming them for all the ills of the world, rounding them up, and systematically slaughtering them? How hideous! I could never be a part of that. That’s why today I’m standing with those who want to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth if it’s the last thing they ever do.”
We have people in the DHS supporting the murder of innocent civilians, including burning them alive, decapitation and piece by piece removing body parts. Often of children in front of their parents and visa versa. And they’re so proud they’re posting publicly about it. We’re paying for this piece of feces, we pay her salary. She handles asylum claims? Well, I feel safer already.
Nejwa Ali, a DHS officer who was reportedly hired to handle asylum claims, had made a series of inflammatory posts against Israel. One of her posts read, “F*** Israel, the government, and its military. Are you ready for your downfall?”
The Daily Wire shared that she was “repeatedly posting pictures of Hamas terrorists parachuting in with guns and writing, “f*** Israel and any Jew who supports Israel.”
Senator Josh Hawley grilled the sub-human Myorkas (honestly, I don’t care how I spell his name) about it. Has it been fired? Nope.
DHS Sec. Mayorkas defends a DHS employee who posted — on October 7th — “F–k Apartheid Israel and any Jew that supports [Israel]” and asked if Israel was “ready for [their] downfall”
Quick note on this apartheid business. There is apartheid in Israel. There are Arab towns in Judea and Samaria that are marked, no Jews allowed. To enter there would probably mean a slow painful death. What Mika and Joe didn’t mention that?
Some nations are catching on, they’ve got a problem, a jihadi problem and it’s probably too late to do much as jihadis when they want, tend to well, commit jihad.
In Italy they clashed with police who fought them valiantly in this clip, but look at the size of that mob. If they were really determined, those police would be toast. There’s not enough bullets to go around.
Clashes between pro-Hamas left-wing extremist students and the police at the Sapienza University in Rome. They want an Islamic revolt
So the Italian police aren’t having it. You know who else isn’t having it? Well, they’re trying, but there’s so many Muslims in Francistan that I think it’s a lost cause.
France has banned Pro Palestinian protests and Berlin police arrested people for saying “Free Palestine.”
French Government Stands with Israel, while the stand of its citizens differ!
Again, good luck with that England. Have you forgotten the terrorist attacks in your own country not that long ago? The incidents of throwing acid on women?
Thousands of pro-Palestine / anti-Israel protesters gather in London just one week after Hamas butchered innocent men, women and children.
Police are threatening to arrest anyone who shows support for Hamas.
It’s gotten SO bad that even some of the left wing are starting to wake up and realize they’ve been useful idiots. Including, believe it or not, to an extent the ADL’s Obama puppy Greenblatt. Kid you not.
Statistics are almost redundant as we are flooded with images and videos of Muslims and their useful cronies shouting “By any means necessary” and “Jewish genocide” in the streets of New York City, Dearborn, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and across other American cities and campuses. On the so-called “Day of Rage” after the massacre, Brooklyn College protesters, several blocks from my home, pledged allegiance to their “heroes in the resistance”.
This is sadly not as shocking to Orthodox Jews as it is to their secular liberal brothers. Those on the right have been sounding the warning bell for years, pointing to the dangerous alliance between leftist Jews and anti-Israel progressives and Muslims. However, it took a sadistic massacre that killed largely secular and left-leaning Israelis for woke American Jews to awaken to the fact that progressives are not all that interested in their brand of tikkun olam. Worse, many realize that they were complicit in amplifying the very threats they are now facing.
….
Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL, which has been at the forefront of progressive activism – from fighting “systemic racism”, abortion rights, gender rights, immigrant rights – is now pushing back against former cohorts. Shortly after October 7th, Greenblatt admonished MSNBC for failing to portray what actually happened on that fateful day. “I am angry with the world that allowed the dehumanization of Israelis and sanitized the view of Hamas,” he said. “I love this show and network, but who’s writing the scripts?”
Greenblatt is now calling on CNN and other media outlets to get their story straight too. “The carelessness with which they treat Jewish victims is crazy…Demonizing and dehumanizing Israelis and Zionists is how you get this kind of barbarism and these atrocities.”
You have to give this guy credit. It must not be easy for a former Obama employee, who in 2015 trashed opponents of the Iran Deal.
Yeah, I think we’re at too little too late.
There is an additional threat that comes with the illegal invaders. Captigon. Haven’t heard of it? I hadn’t either.
What is the drug found in Hamas terrorists?
A powerful drug was found in the pockets of Hamas terrorists who participated in the attack against Israel.
The drug, also called “Jihad drug” was also used by the terrorists of the ISIS organization.
Captagon is a powerful stimulant reportedly found in the pockets of dead or captured Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on October 7. Captagon is an amphetamine (a stimulant drug that acts on the neurotransmitters) originally created in the 1960s in Germany to combat ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and narcolepsy (sleeping disorder). while stimulating the central nervous system. Most countries stopped using captagon in 1986 due to its addictive properties and negative effects. But its popularity remains strong in the Middle East despite the drug being banned by Middle Eastern governments.
“It has become very popular for the leaders of various terrorist organizations to give them to people, first of all, to break them mentally and indoctrinate them, and in particular before operations because it makes them more hyperactive, more cruel and merciless.”
Irina Zuckerman, a geopolitical analyst says that the terrorist organizations use the drug to control the fighters. They become more obedient, more open to suggestions, and more addicted.
“The main function of the drug is to increase the willingness to fight. And you can even see it from watching some of these terrorists, from their videos that they took with their body cameras, they seemed much more alert, and much more hyperactive.”
Although the use of the drug is prohibited in the Middle East, terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah produce it cheaply and easily. They smuggle it through different ports. Experts believe most production takes place in Syria, where captagon exports are estimated to be worth $3.5 billion in 2020.
Syria huh? Glad all the Syrians are still in Syria! Boy howdy.
I don’t know that I’d go that far, but his point is that basically our culture and civilization is at stake here.
Civilizations are real. The culture and civilization of Asia are very, very different from the culture of Africa. And the way things work in Afghanistan is very, very different from the way they work in Australia.
And our civilization is the Judeo-Christian Civilization.
Between universities, demoncrats, the well-meaning but very uninformed and gullible fretting over the innocent Falestinians, the Soros funded mobs and the actual jihadis we’re in real trouble. Add in the Russians and Chinese men of military age that have come across the border, the jihad is going to hit U.S.
Gorka ends his column with a conversation from the veterinarian’s office.
I was at the veterinarian clinic with my Belgian shepherd, Killian. As I waited, an elderly gentleman with his 14-year-old German shepherd recognized me from my Newsmax show. We chatted at length about what happened on October 7th and what needs to happen to the savages of Hamas. He was born in Israel to Jewish parents who escaped Hungary before the war and moved to the reborn nation of Israel in 1948.
At the end of our chat, he tapped his side and said: “I’m ready for them. If they try and kill me, I’ll take a few of those bastards with me.”
I tapped my pocket in response and told my friend, Shlomo, “I’m ready too.”
Which brings me to close with comments about guns and the left.
From Israel Today,
Since the start of the Hamas war, over 120,000 Israelis have applied for a new gun license.
Once all are approved, the number of licensed owners of personal firearms in Israel will nearly double.
People think of Israel just bristling with guns, that all the citizens walk around armed. Well, no. A lot of those pictures you see of “civilians” carrying a rifle and ordering a coffee are active duty soldiers, just not on duty. In certain parts of Israel you could get a license to have a gun. And in many of the Kibbutzim there were guns. They were locked up in the armory. That’s how Nir in my last column was able to get an AR and arm some of her fellow neighbors in the Kibbutz. She was able to make it to the armory and get it unlocked. Remember this next time you hear about mandatory safe storage. It’s not. Well, not for you anyway.
When the attacks started and word got out, people, regular citizens and soldiers were coming from all over to try to help. Many of them with just a pistol and maybe 50 or 60 rounds. Because up until recently that was the annual limit. Ben-Gvir increased that recently to 100. They need to be handing that stuff out like candy on Halloween. I’m sure there were no adequate capacity magazines. Every policy the left advocates on guns is going to get innocent law abiding citizens hurt. This was played out in technicolor on October 7th.
But what’s different in Israel than America is that Israel is uniting. Gone are the “Judicial Reform” protests. Everyone is doing what they can to support the soldiers, and the displaced Israelis. Tons of them from rocket bombarded areas. Rockets fired from the land given for peace to the Falestinians as a two state solution. Land rife with terror tunnels created by the cement and supplies sent to the “innocent hamass voting denizens of Gaza” to have schools where they will be indoctrinated by the U.N. to hate Jews, and hospitals. Tunnels and rocket launch sites are under both. Hamass knows the Israelis will have to take out those launch sites and then they will cry to the NYSlimes, the AP and Joe & Mika that Israel bombed their hospital. The press will run with the Hamass PR statement and it will be a great victory, a victory for everyone but the innocent.
Do you know how hamass got so much information about who would be where? The layouts of the Kibbutzim? How many were in a family, where the armories were? The Gazan workers. Yep, all those work permits that Bibi had been pressured by America’s demoncrats to issue to relieve the poverty and suffering of the poor Gazans. They came into Israel and gathered information they passed on to hamass. The people on the Kibbutz thought they were living in peace with them. Nope. Just like in Hevron in 1929. The Jews had lived in peace with their Arab neighbors…until one day they didn’t. Something for U.S. to keep in mind.
This is not a war for land. Hamass is a religion, a religion that demands the murder of every Jew everywhere on the planet. And you do know their saying, right? First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people. This fight? This fight is for civilization against a sub-human group of people for which no atrocity is to great. This is why we must be prepared to fight. I listen regularly to a subscription radio show. For the last few shows the non-Jewish show host has stated in every show, “Jews, get a gun. Get a gun now while you can and learn to shoot and carry it”.
And I thought this was going to be a short column…
I ran across a peculiar column last week, but I held off commenting on it.
Mass Shootings: If No One Else Will Offer a Solution, I Will
While everyone is screaming to ban “weapons of war” or whatever the ridiculous phrase du jour is, nobody is offering any kind of solution. We keep saying we need to “have real conversations about mental health,” but we never do. So if we’re not going to ban firearms or have a kumbaya drum circle for mental health, and if no one else is going to offer a solution, I will.
That’s right, yours truly has a policy idea that might move us in the right direction. Because I am going out on a limb here, I’ll go ahead and say that I welcome other ideas, influences, and perspectives. All I ask is that we keep the disagreements civil when we comment down below. Lastly, I use the word “firearm” to cover any weapon that relies on a firing pin, as well as ammunition with a percussion primer. With this definition, make, model, or capacity does not matter.
The reason I held back is this proposal confused the heck out me. It appears at PJ Media, which is a fairly conservative outlet with — usually — a firm grounding in the Constitution and reality. Ashley McCully appears to be a regular contributor.
By McCully’s proposal is anything but Constitution- and reality-based. Before I tore her a figurative new one, I considered the possibiltiy that this is satire. The law she proposes reads like a far-left Dimocrat wishlist; it’s a thoroughly impractical, immoral, and unconstitutional rape of rights.
On the other hand we have the column’s URL: a-modest-proposal-to-prevent-mass-shootings-and-preserve-gun-rights-n1738194
That certainly hearkens back to the very model of literary satire. But was she writing satire, or did an editor pick that URL to poke fun at her “serious” proposal?
I attempted to contact her, but heard nothing for days. So I’m going assume that she meant what she said.
Here goes.
Regardless of how the firearm is purchased, gifted, bequeathed, or obtained, the individual taking receipt of the firearm must present a written statement from a licensed mental health professional endorsing the requesting individual as mentally stable and competent enough to possess a firearm.
That’s an interesting take on the Second Amendment, apparently now reading A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people who have been medically approved to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Up yours, Ashley. And you might want to run your idea past Clarence Thomas, because that requirement is a massive fail on the BRUEN test of “consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
She’d be hard pressed to find and such law in our national tradition, seeing as how the very field of “psychology” didn’t exist until 1854, and didn’t get rolling in the United States until around 1875. And medical licensing? That wasn’t really a thing until the 1870s. And the first actually restrictive medical licensing law was passed in 1881, and only upheld by the Supreme Court in 1889.
In the event an individual is deemed mentally unstable and/or incompetent to possess a firearm by a licensed health professional, then it will also be deemed reasonable to search any and all property of the individual by law enforcement for the sole purpose of identifying and seizing deadly weapons, to include firearms. The written diagnosis by a licensed mental health professional will be declared suitable for probable cause for a warrant to be issued.
There are a couple of problems here. Begging permission to obtain a firearm, and failing to get that permission, is probable cause to ransack a home for the firearm he didn’t get?!
And currently, it would be a HIPAA violation for that licensed mental health professional to voluntarily forward that personal health information, the diagnosis, to the cops. You’ll need to amend 45 CFR 164.512(f)(1)(i)), too, Ashely.
But that’s moot; because no sane mental health pro is going to issue certification.
If the requesting individual commits any crime with a firearm, the license of the endorsing mental health professional will be suspended throughout the criminal investigation. If the requesting individual is found guilty of any crime with a firearm, then the endorsing mental health professional may lose their license permanently and may be subject to criminal charges.
Note the lack of specification of time frame or what firearm is used. If someone gets a gun, lives peacefully for 30 years, then sudden decides to unlawfully pull a trigger — maybe of a gun that some other doc signed off on — the original doc loses his license and goes to jail. Both, in fact. What doctor is going to assume that perpetual liability? Since it would effectively be impossible to get approval, this effectively bans private ownership of firearms.
Speaking of liability…
Regardless of relationship, if a firearm is used to commit any crime by any person, the registered owner of that firearm will be held criminally liable.
If I jump through McCully’s hoops and get a gun, I would be criminally liable if a burglar broke into my house, shot me, tore my gun safe out of the floor, ripped it open with a plasma cutter, took one of my guns, and used it to rob someone else. Ashley’s liability language makes no exception.
Up yours with a prickly pear, Ashley.
Oh, and did you notice that “registered owner” bit? Yep, her wanna-be law presupposes registration. Language in other parts make it clear that the registry she so blithely assumes would include currently owned firearms, not just those bought under her new police state process.
I’m going to guess, like Hollywood writers who have cops checking gun registrations in southern states, McCully lives in a state that does have registration and stupidly assumes everyone else does, too.
Hint, Ashley: most of the country does not register firearms and owners. And in some states, Georgia and Florida for example, creating a registry is serious felony.
I’m skipping some other — mostly liability — points, and going straight to the finale. Which either solidly establishes this as satire, or Ashley as bug-f##k nuts.
Anyone connected to an individual who has been deemed mentally unstable and/or incompetent enough to possess a firearm and has had at least one firearm or deadly weapon seized by the State under Title II, including but not limited to family, friends, colleagues, roommates, associates, or acquaintances, must provide a secondary verbal and written affirmation that they will be held criminally liable for any crime committed by anyone involving the firearms for which they are registered owners.
You may need to read that a couple of time to parse it out.
If you know someone in passing — a neighbor down the street with whom you exchange greetings — that is a prohibited person for mental reasons…
…even if you don’t know it…
…you must swear verbally and in writing (redundant, that) that you will be held criminally liable if said acquaintance… well, see the earlier burglary/plasma cutter scenario.
Ashley’s proposal doesn’t include any mechanism for identifying and contacting the prohibited person’s family, friends, colleagues, roommates, associates, or acquaintances, or anyone “connected to” and sharing their personal legal and medical history. So I’ll be damned if I know how you’re supposed to know to make that “affirmation,” much less to whom.
I would really prefer that is satire, but the fact that McCully wouldn’t respond doesn’t look good.
Are you interested in building your own firearms at home, but aren’t really sure how to get started? Not to worry; wethe New York State Policehas your back.
In an effort to crack down on so-called “ghost guns,” the NYSP inadvertently put together the perfect beginner’s how-to manual:
It has all the info you need to start. Descriptions of the technologies available (80% receivers, CNC milling, 3D printing), along with suppliers for the various tools, and complete parts lists and suppliers.
It tells you what hand tools you’ll be wanting. It even tells which types of plastic filament are best suited for firearms and the model of 3D printer you choose. It shows you basic steps you’ll be following.
NYSP didn’t mean it this way; it was supposed to be an internal tyranny tool. But someone leaked it, and we aim to keep it leaked.
Now that the active incident is over, some reporting is stabilizing. The goodless bad news is that the initial reports of 20, and then 22, dead and 50 injured have been scaled back to 18 dead and 13 wounded. Perhaps the initial “injured” claims included folks hurt as they scrambled for cover, but not shot.
The weapon used has shifted from “AR-15” to .308 “battle rifle” or “sniper rifle.” In fact, it now appears to have been a recently purchased Ruger SFAR, which is an AR-pattern rifle chambered in 7.62 NATO/.308 Win. It is semiautomatic only, so it certainly isn’t a select-firebattle rifle. But some reasonably knowlegeable people do apply the “battle rifle” label to military semi-autos in full-power rifle chamberings, so I may let that one slide.
The “recently purchased” aspect brings us to a fuzzy point of confusion. Was the shooter a prohibited person or not? And if he was, how was he able to lawfully purchased the weapon?
Early reports mentioned that he had threatened to “shoot up” the military base at Saco, Maine, and that he had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks. Since then, Maine law enforcement have stated that the shooter had been taken in for a mental health evaluation that did not rise to the level of involuntary commitment. So it might appear that he was not a prohibited person (though it’s fair to wonder why the authorities failed to invoke Maine’s yellow flag law).
But was that Saco-area threat what got him the the two week “committal”? Other reports said his military commander had him committed, and that appears to have happened near West Point in New York, during a training exercise.
Are Maine authorities talking about the Maine or New York incident as the “non-committal” hold? Or were there two separate incidents of the shooter-to-be being involuntarily held?
It matters, because what the Maine police seem to be describing would not make him a prohibited person, while a two week committal in New York, by order of command, certainly would.
Updated, October 30, 12:20PM:This seems pretty clear.
Card, who killed 18 people and wounded an additional 13 at a bar and a bowling alley on Oct. 25, attempted to buy a silencer on Aug. 5, but was unable to complete the purchase after admitting on a federal form that he had previously been committed to a mental institution, according to ABC. The Army committed Card to a psychiatric care facility for several weeks in July after he reported hearing voices, behaved “erratically” and threatened the base where he was stationed at the time. (RELATED: Maine Mass Shooting Suspect Robert Card Found Dead, Police Confirm)
“He came in and filled out the form, he checked off a box that incriminated himself saying that he was in an institution,” Rick LaChapelle, who owns the Coastal Defense Firearms store where Card tried to purchase the silencer, told ABC News. “Our staff was fantastic, let him finish filling out the form, and said, ‘I’m sorry, Mr. Card, we cannot give you this… at this point in time, we cannot release this silencer to you because of the answers that you’ve given us.’”
The person of interest behind the deadly mass shooting in Maine is reportedly a trained firearms instructor believed to be in the Army Reserve, according to law enforcement sources in the state.
Robert Card, 40, was stationed out of Saco, Maine and reported “hearing voices” and threatened to shoot up the National Guard Base where he was stationed, the sources said.
Ignorant loudmouth Shannon Watts of Mom’s Demand Bloodshed naturally blames Maine’s allegedly lax gun laws; specifically a lack of a 72 hour waiting period to purchase a firearm, and a lack of a “red flag” law.
I blame something else. Card himself, of course; but…
According to law enforcement, CARD recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME. CARD was also reported to have been committed to mental health facility for two weeks during summer 2023 and subsequently released.
So… they have a crazy guy threatening to kill people. He gets committed to a psych ward…
And then let loose. Maybe that last part was a mistake.
Card was reportedly a firearms instructor; my guess is that he probably already had firearms, and a 72 hour waiting period would not have prevented this. Keeping the dangerous guy locked up would.
So what if Maine lacks a n-due process “red flag” law? Anyone who had been threatened by Card — that is, anyone and everyone assigned to that base — could have requested a perfectly normal protective order and requested any firearm be removed .
And why would they be removed, aside from the death threats? “[H]ave been committed to mental health facility.
If he did have to buy his firearm for this slaughter, that wouldshould have prevented him from buying one from licensed dealer. (And likely from people who knew him and knew he’d gone nuts.)
Someone was supposed to report Card’s committal to NICS. If the military committed him, well, we know the military has a major reporting problem.
It’s a little early to be blaming a lack of gun laws for this.
Something else that I hope to hear more about is Card’s auditory hallucinations. That’s common in schizophrenia. But as a retired nurse mentioned, 40 years old is an odd time for schizophrenia to pop up. It usually shows up much earlier in life.
Other things can cause hallucinations: Lewy Body Dementia, brain tumors. But something I ran across recently came to mind.
One of the adverse effects of the ChinCOVID pseudo-vaccine that’s been showing up ishallucinations. Doctor’s have noted it, and it shows up in studies. As a reservist apparently on active status (assigned to the base), there’s a good chance that Card received the ChinCOVID inoculations.
But that’s just speculation. Card is not yet in custody. But once caught (or his body found), maybe we’ll learn more about what caused his break.
Federal Judge Strikes Down California’s Decades-Old ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban: ‘No Historical Pedigree’
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, a George W. Bush appointee, struck down the 1989 ban, enacted by the California legislature in response to the Stockton school shooting, which prohibits the transfer, manufacturing and possession of certain semiautomatic weapons. Benitez wrote that American tradition “is rich and deep in protecting a citizen’s enduring right to keep and bear common arms like rifles, shotguns, and pistols” and does not include firearm restrictions based on “looks or attributes.”
That’s our guy Benitez again. At least on 2A issues, he’s a constitutionalist, and he read and grasped BRUEN (something most of the Ninth Circuit Appeals haven’t managed).
The problem is that, as always, this case is going to keep bouncing back and forth to the Ninth for years, with endless stays of Benitez’s ruling. Unless and until SCOTUS starts issuing contempt of Supreme Court bench warrants for those who are willfully defying the Second Amendment and BRUEN.
But given that Chief Justice Roberts sided with the gun grabbers on the frame/receiver rule, don’t get too excited about warrants either.
As information comes out about the pogrom/atrocities/murders/slaughters I am filled with rage, alternating with anger, alternating with sorrow, alternating with exhaustion. So hopefully you will forgive what’s probably going to be a more disjointed that usual column. But I have to. I just do.
Part of the anger comes from watching the response of the world. The same countries that in the UN condemn Israel for nothing, now have their buildings lit up with blue and white. Yay you. Let’s see how long it lasts. Before long, the media will begin their inevitable spin. I’ve heard some already, there were no decapitated babies and children. Yeah? About 40 of them, Kfar Aza. It is unusual for the IDF to allow journalists access to such a site, and in one report I saw there was still active fighting going in parts of Kfar Aza. I did an image search on Freespoke, and it looks like many of the captions were in French. Which may account for when the muslims in France rioted in the last couple days the French police put it down hard and quick. Maybe the French are catching on to what happens, I dunno. But journalists that were there DO have photographic proof, the MSM is refusing to air it. The MSM just blathers on about “unconfirmed” “no proof”. Yeah, yeah, there is you deceptive sewer scum. That was the point of the IDF letting them in. As in WWII, when Omar Bradley said:
“It is the desire of the Theater Commander that both still and moving pictures be utilized to the fullest extent practicable as exhibits in reports of investigations of war crimes committed by the Nazis with particular reference to Allied prisoners of war both in and out of camps and to concentration camps for the purpose of recording for civilization the history of horror written by over five years of German atrocities.”
“I visited every nook and cranny of the camp because I felt it my duty to be in a position from then on to testify at first hand about these things in case there ever grew up at home the belief or assumption that `the stories of Nazi brutality were just propaganda.’ Some members of the visiting party were unable to through the ordeal. I not only did so but as soon as I returned to Patton’s headquarters that evening I sent communications to both Washington and London, urging the two governments to send instantly to Germany a random group of newspaper editors and representative groups from the national legislatures. I felt that the evidence should be immediately placed before the American and British publics in a fashion that would leave no room for cynical doubt.”
The nazis tried to hide their crimes, hamass livestreams theirs. They’re proud of what they’re doing. They expect the world to rejoice with them.
The state of Israel is our hope of preventing another holocaust. We need to do more than hope.
For now, this wiki article on the Kfar Aza seems to be fairly accurate. One report I heard said many of the dead that were killed initially were the more right wing that had guns and were trying to protect the more naive who didn’t own guns. Kibbutz Be’eri is a kibbutz located in the Gaza periphery since 1946. Its members are generally on the secular left, and it includes many peace activists. There were 250 people living there before, not sure how many are left, many are dead, some have been taken hostage.
See, it’s hard to know the actual numbers of the dead. You aren’t “dead” until your body is given a number. And some of the bodies are hard to get to, even though they can be seen. Some of the rooms in the Kibbutzim have been booby trapped. As have the bodies, where grenades have been placed inside the bodies. So in some of these places you have to have sappers come clear things before you can get the body, and then you can give it a number. This is part of why the death toll is rising slowly.
Happily this was not the way it turned out in every Kibbutz though. From a message on my Zehut group,
As I type this, Hezbollah terrorists have begun entering Israeli air spacewith gliders from Lebanon. God help them. IDF has deployed over 10K troops to the north. Like I said to MPs, I’m afraid of full scale incursion from Lebanon will occur as soon as the IDF begins its ground invasion of Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government has suspended it’s gun control policies indefinitely and began issuing permits to all applicants who are Israeli citizens and not Islamic.
On Saturday, female Israeli citizen Inbal Lieberman of Kibbutz Nir Am killed six Hamas terrorists with her AR-15 by herself, and organized her kibbutz residents to fight. They turned the kibbutz into a fortress as she issued weapons and in total killed a dozen Muslims. Because of this incident, Israel is going full 2A.
US Special Forces have now arrived in Israel, probably to coordinate rescue of US citizens kidnapped by Hamas. Pray.
If every citizen had an AR-15 with an adequate capacity magazine…
I mentioned in my previous column that Itamar Ben-Gvir has dropped mountains of gun control laws and is arming citizens. Had they done this years ago as Rabbi Kahane suggested (every Jew a .22) , as Moshe Feiglin suggested this might not have happened. But who knows? I don’t have a crystal ball.
Former PM says it was armed local groups of citizens who were the most successful in fighting off Hamas invaders on Saturday.
Yeah, I’m sure that’s true. But I doubt Francistan or Germany will pay attention. Till it’s too late anyway.
And about the US Special Forces arriving to rescue US citizens. Perhaps I should just point out, for Americans hoping their government will get them out…..
“While Poland, Hungary, Brazil, Romania, and other countries sent planes to bring their citizens home from the war zone, our government told us to fend for ourselves,” wrote Yitz Friedman.
And as long as I’m whinging about the US government, I understand Winkin (Lloyd Austin) Blinkin (Blinken) are already in Israel. The only one missing is Nod (Beijing Biden). My hunch and fear is they are not there to support Israel, they are there to rein Israel in. After a discrete period of time, of course. Say, oh, about 3 days? Maybe less. See the Xiden junta is allied with China, China gave Beijing Biden lots and lots of money. And Beijing is backing the terrorists.
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) reaction to the deadly attack on Israel by the Hamas terrorists revealed that it’s on the side of Palestine, according to Gordan Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China” and “China Is Going to War.”
On Sunday, China’s foreign ministry issued its first statement, expressing its deep concerns about the “escalation of tensions and violence between Palestine and Israel.” Without naming Hamas, the ministry’s spokesperson urged “relevant parties” to “remain calm, exercise restraint, and immediately end the hostilities.”
How’s about “HELL NO”. How do you remain calm among decapitated babies and children? Dead mothers with their unborn children cut out of them and the bodies left laying the the umbilical cord hooking them together? With abducted children, women, elderly? One hamass terrorist that was caught very freely admitted when asked why they kidnapped women and children, they aren’t soldiers after all, it was to rape them.
I wrote about some of the atrocities committed by the arabs in Huwara not long ago, the arabs there kill Jews almost any chance they get. They aren’t really afraid of the IDF you see, the IDF, like the American military is mostly controlled at the top by a leftist mentality. Or the lack thereof. You know who the arabs in Huwara are afraid of? The Jews in nearby cities. Those aren’t leftist Jews living in Judea and Samaria on the whole. Of course the UN was outraged by the arab attacks against innocent Jews driving on the road in their car, or in the town. Oh, sorry, my mistake. UN lashes Israel for Huwara settler violence after terror shooting
Nope, the UN was dead silent about the murder of Jews. But the Israelis in nearby towns had flat had enough. Which is partly why I don’t expect the support from “the world” to last too long.
So what brings up Huwara again? In my previous column there was a video clip of an elderly woman that has been kidnapped by hamass making a “Victory” sign as an hamass dropping stood next to her. Well, her image showed up in an ad for pizza in Huwara as they celebrate the massacre of the Jews.
This poor lady… These creatures are sub-animal.
But this time, this time I have something delightful for you, really!!
The Honenu legal aid organization sent an urgent letter to the IDF asking the shop be shut down. The owner had been in legal trouble before,several years before he had seriously injured a boy from Yitzhar with a rock, but was released due to lack of evidence.
You won’t have time for popcorn, but this is delightful none the less. This is the IDF destroying the store. Not a room, not just the window. The store.
You know, if the IDF had been this hard line years ago…..but again, look at who top leadership are. For now, I’ll just savor.
In America, the left is showing their true colors. For those parents who have sacrificed to send their little darlings to a “good university” here’s what you sacrifice has gotten you.
An official statement from the Hamas terrorist organization and comments from a former Hamas leader—both calling for global mobilization against Israel this Friday, Oct. 13—are raising alarm at Jewish organizations and among those who monitor the Middle East.
“The real threat here is that there is no way of knowing who, if anyone, will take up the call or if there are pre-planned actions already staged elsewhere in the world just waiting for the greenlight,” according to James Carafano, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and senior counselor to its president.
Boy, I’m sure glad we don’t have any of those peaceful falestinians in America! And the ones we do have the obiden junta can keep an eye on them!
But the shop former shop in Huwara may not be the only place that is finally going to earn the results it deserves. For all those leftists such as BLM and antifa that have rampaged with no consequences, thought that they could do anything without consequences, perhaps something is changing.
But some of the future BLM/antifa jihadi students are beginning to re-think their signing of a petition blaming Israel for all the dead Jewish families. Not because they object to the atrocities you understand, oh no, not that. But because it could affect their future job opportunities…The suffering of others and compassion for them doesn’t exist on the left.
The backtracking is all about jobs. People want to know who these students are so that they won’t hire them.
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is calling on Harvard to release the names of students in the groups that signed the pro-terror statement so that employers do not “inadvertently” hire them in the future. https://t.co/Xx5un4zbmY

Harvard students scramble to take back support for letter attacking Israel as some CEOs look to blacklist them https://t.co/yeBNAHiSdF pic.twitter.com/Qi1M3MXEaM
— New York Post (@nypost) October 11, 2023
And this “Harvard Law Student” obviously is deeply, deeply concerned about the people that were trapped in the “safe rooms” of their houses hearing their neighbors slaughtered and could do nothing, the families that were wiped out because they were Jewish. See, some of those black and brown people BLM is always yammering on about protecting and caring about? Well, some of those black and brown people in Israel were Jewish. Black and brown people killed by arabs. And BLM supports their killers. But back to my point about the Harvard law student, it seems some CEOs not being mush headed college students and looking at the letters the aforementioned mush headed college students signed blaming Israel for hamass attacking them. And decided “Nope, nopitty nope nope. Not hiring these immoral and amoral thugs”. So what distresses Harvard law student? Not the suffering of the victims, nope the “harassment” by CEOs wanting to know who signed the letter because they don’t want to hire them. Wow.
a flawed view of harassment I’d say
And what are the future terrorist falestinian children learning in school? Oh, same thing.
Simply, they put no value on human life, not for others and not for themselves. They are a death cult.
It’s reminiscent of Golda Meir.
The Jews are concerned about life, even the abandoned dogs in the south.
And the Orthodox Jews of Chabad showing up in war zones to cheer and encourage the Israeli soldiers. I’d say they succeeded. I adorethis clip! Adore it!!
But I want to basically end with looking further back in Israeli history that Golda, I want to look back to King David.
First Lenny Goldberg “The Jewish Way in War” About 16 minutes long.
Tamar Yonah, a Israeli talk show host did a 35 minute video.
Think like a true, proud, and HEALTHY Jew. Ask yourself, what would G-d’s beloved King David do if he were facing enemies committing these atrocities against Israel? We know what the answer correct answer is:’Eat them for lunch, before they eat YOU for dinner.”King David would never kick the can down the road regarding a terror entity and the slaughtering of his citizens. As a ‘just’ king, he would never tolerate decades of murderous attacks against his people. King David wouldn’t try to ‘contain’ the terror, or ‘manage it’ as our leadership has done for decades. No. We all know what King David would do.
As he wrote in Psalm 18:
*verse 38) I will pursue my enemies and overtake them, never turning back until they are consumed.*
*v39) I will crush them so that they cannot rise; yea, until they have fallen under my feet.*
*v40) For You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me, those that rose up against me.*
*v41) And of my enemies, You have given me the back of their necks; those that hate me, that I may cut them off.*
As for many of us lately living in a state of fear,…folks, *switch your thinking, and make THEM, afraid of US!*
! And let’s do what King David would do – eliminate these monsters once and for all!
I’ve been asked by people how can they help. So I’ll give you some different choices.
This page has links to several different well known Israeli aid groups.
Chabad is always there helping in any way they can.
Veafilu Behastara—Even when he seems hidden, he is with us.
And Kol Haolam Kulo–The quote is from Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. “All the world is a narrow bridge and the most important thing is to not be afraid.”
The visitors from Chabad showed the power of song to inspire and encourage, I will attempt to do the same. The big mercy is I’m not the one singing it to you.
Be well, Shabbat Shalom a bit early.
On Shabbat in Israel as Jews celebrated Shabbat and Simchat Torah (celebration of finishing the annual reading cycle of the Torah) She was invaded by hamass. So how could this happen? How could Israel with it’s amazing IDF and Mossad have been caught so flat footed? Like the Yom Kippur war of 1973, this was a surprise attack that didn’t surprise those not blinded by normalcy bias. The Egyptians openly trained and conditioned the Israelis to write off the training as “just maneuvers”. In an interview with Tamar Yonah, Jonathan Pollard told of seeing a hamass video in which they were parading with all their rockets, in formation in military garb. He talked to people about it, people that should have listened and could have done something. Which they did, they told him it was “just propaganda”. He told them it wasn’t, to look at the end of the video, when they say “Soon”. Well, “soon” came about 2 weeks later. It might also be helpful to remember that the left is in control of the military and intelligence services in Israel and well as America. Remember as many Israelis were protesting judicial reform the left urged soldiers not to show up, they urged pilots and doctors not to show up for work. Do I know if that played a role? No, but it was on my mind as I just did a column on July 28th of this year. The left is willing to destroy anything, as long as they’re in control of what’s left, to paraphrase Moshe Feiglin.
So, how did we get here?
It also might be worth remembering Israel completely surrendered the Gaza strip to the arabs in 2005 as part of the disaster known as the 1993 Oslo accords. The IDF came and pulled Israelis living in the Gaza strip out of their homes and farms, all that was turned over to the “peaceful falestinians” just yearning for a land of their own. They got it, in 2005, Gaza, the two state solution. Israel traded land for peace. It has failed abysmally. And, they should have known. Talk about ignoring the writing on the wall. This article is from September 12, 2023 and is quite good. But it’s not that different from this one written on September 15, 2002. But this one gives some data.
During the first seven years following the accords, more than 300 Israelis were murdered by Palestinian Arab terrorists–far more than the number killed during the seven years before Oslo. Since October 2000, when the Palestinian Authority launched its all-out war against Israel, another 600 Israelis have been murdered–a total of nearly 1,000 fatalities since the Oslo agreement. From the standpoint of personal security, Israelis are far worse off today than before Oslo.
….
Oslo even put guns in the terrorists’ hands. As part of the agreement, Israel supplied the PA security forces with thousands of rifles that weresupposed to be used to fight against terrorists. Instead, they have been used to murder Israelis.
What, oh what I ask, could go wrong? Well, the denizens of Gaza voted by 70% to be ruled by hamass rather than the corrupt dishonest Falestinian Authority. That being said, Israel gets some of it’s intelligence from the arabs living in Gaza. But for the most part, they voted for this misery the live under with hamass.
So in my reasonably humble opinion, there shouldn’t be any arabs in Gaza to use it as a base from which to launch rockets into Israel. I think they should have used Moshe Feiglin’s plan. Give the arabs a sum of money to leave Israel and a one way ticket to wherever. Jordan, Syria, there’s lots of countries that are muslim and speak Arabic. Same with Judea and Shomron, pay them off and set the free from being “oppressed” by Israel. Except that they don’t want to go.
So what’s happened?
Apparently hamass knocked out part of Israel’s monitoring system in the area with bomb drones.
I’ve also heard the fence was weakened by all the protests earlier. Apparently those parts of the fence, if I’m understanding this correctly, were where the bulldozers just knocked it down, and in some areas set fire.
This is a map of Israel
The hamass terrorists came in and it sounds like the town of Sderot has been almost wiped out. There were arab terrorist journalists giving updates from Israeli cities as the terrorists roamed freely through the town slaughtering people as they found them. People were calling for help asking where the Army was, the terrorists were at the door, then the line would go dead. The terrorists went to the bomb shelters, knocked on the door pretending to be people in need of shelter and when the door was opened to them, they killed everyone inside.
Which brings me to my next point, while Israel is filtering the news, and I’ve heard most of the world media didn’t report much initially, hamass is very proud of what they’ve done and have shot lots of video and posted it to their social media accounts which it seems aren’t censored.
These are hard to watch, so take that as a warning. The hamass terrorists are not humans, they have lost all trace of humanity. There are 1,000 dead Israelis, I believe most of them are civilians as that seems to be what hamass are targeting. They aren’t going to military bases for the most part, but instead Kibbutzim and small towns. There have been soldiers captured, and hamass is beheading them. There were 260 teenagers killed at a music festival. Because nothing says we’re big brave soldiers like killing a bunch of dancing teenagers, or old men driving a car. Military targets? Seriously?
But it’s not just hamass from Gaza, hamass is asking Hebollocks in the north to join in the fun. And they are starting to show they might.
I’ve heard the number of Israeli casualties from Saturday’s attack is now equal to the number of casualties they had during the June 1967 six days war.
What about the Iron Dome? Apparently they shot so many rockets into Israel in a short period of time, it overwhelmed the Iron Dome defense system.
Hamass claims to have captured over 150-200 Israeli citizens, most of which seem to be women, children, the elderly and are holding them hostage. One was a German citizen there for the music festival. She was a tattoo artist and had a very distinctive tattoo on her leg. It’s what the family used to identify her in hamass video and speak out to the press contradicting hamass. She was not an IDF soldier, just a girl at a music festival. It seems like most of the hostages are being taken back to Gaza and abused and paraded through the streets of Gaza.
Although some they took video of in their homes like this scared elderly lady they were mocking.
Apparently hamass is extremely proud of shooting terrified children as they ran, they posted that to social media as well.
hamass also considered the Synagogue and Barzilei hospital in Ashkelon to be valid targets. Apparently the arabs think everyone hides munitions and soldiers in hospitals and their religious buildings. Nope, just them. They also use schools and apartment buildings, nothing is to low for hamass.
Apparently including cannibalism. Remember a few years ago when the Kurds were fighting for freedom in Syria? There was video of the Syrian soldiers eating the heart of a dead enemy soldier? Well, not to be out done, as I understand it, there is video of hamass eating pieces of their victims. I don’t have it, and wouldn’t post it if I did. But understand well what hamass is. Sub-human, sub-animal.
The IDF has captured some of the hamass terrorists, “We prepared for more than a year. The demonstrations in Israel encouraged us. It was 5 hours before we were shot at. We were prepared with 1000 fighters, we made 15 breaches in the fence. We were shocked that the IDF was not waiting for us. We walked with the abductees for two hours.”..
I’m guessing he’s talking about the leftists run judicial reform protests.
Yepper, we paid for them, U.S. we paid. I understand weapons we’ve sent to Ukraine have also shown up. Golly gosh, it’s kind of like when obama was suppose to be dropping weapons to the Kurds and somehow the people tasked with the job kept dropping them to the muslims they were fighting. And just to mention that aid money that we’re sending Israel? Yeah, that has to be spent with U.S., buying weapons. Sort of like another reallocation scheme. But it’s always been that way when we sent Israel aid, it had to be spent with U.S. Does anyone know if Lloyd Austin is still on the board of Raytheon?
But, there is some good news coming out of Israel, consider this my PSA, it’s from Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s security minister. This went into effect on Monday.
1. Every citizen who passes the exams will have a telephone interview instead of a physical interview, and will receive permission to carry firearms within a week.
[Self-defense tests: Residence in an eligible settlement, veterans of Rifle 07 (soon it will be given to every soldier a rifle), officers in the rank of lieutenant or higher and combatants in the rank of major or higher in the IDF and the security forces, service in special units, firefighters, policemen, and worker and volunteers in the rescue forces.]
2. Any citizen who received a conditional permit to purchase a firearm and did not purchase a firearm during the year 2023 and the conditional license has expired, will be able to purchase a firearm now without the need to submit another application. The exemption will apply to about 4000 citizens.
3. Any citizen who deposited his weapon in the last six months due to failure to perform refresher training or renewal training, will be able to receive his weapon back. The exemption will apply to about 1800 citizens.
4. In addition, starting next Tuesday, conditional permits to carry firearms will be issued with a permit allowing the purchase of up to 100 bullets instead of 50 today.
Minister of National Security MK Itamar Ben Gvir: “I thank the personnel of the Firearms Licensing Division, the Civil Response Department of the Israel Police and the employees of the Ministry of Health for the very important commitment that will allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves and protect themselves and their environment when necessary.”
Good, hand those guns out like candy! Raise the Altelena and get the guns that the leftist David Ben Gurion sank. As Tamar pointed out in her show, it’s no wonder the obiden junta are pushing Bibi Netanyahu to form a “unity government” with Lapid and Gantz. They would refuse to sit with someone like Itamar Ben-Gvir, so perhaps he would be pushed out. So you would end up with a leftist government which is not what the citizens of Israel wanted or voted for. But voting, bah! That’s not the demoncratic way now is it?
But this flotsam and jetsam from the human gene pool are suppose to be Israel’s “peace partners.” And they certainly have their supporters, in Philadelphia, Ft. Lauderdale and London arabs have been dancing in the streets and marching in support of the murderers. And much of the world, at least the leftist world doesn’t understand they don’t want a land of their own, they want dead Jews. And I’ve no longer any patience at all for moral relativism. The foreign minister of Australia called for both sides to show restraint! This seriously unhinged individual called for both sides to show “restraint”. How about oh heck no. When Israel is going to bomb a building, they drop leaflets in arabic warning the arabs to get out, they send text messages, they give them every chance. That needs to stop. These people voted for and support hamass. Apparently several breeches in the fence hamass came through were created by residents of Gaza. Again, they voted for hamass……
Right now government buildings in many countries around the world are lit up in blue and white. Yay, how cool. And how will they vote the next time the U.N. is trying to condemn Israel for some nonsense. And the obiden junta, saying they support Israel. Really? Cause you just gave billions of dollars to Iran, who told you from the beginning they would spend it however they wanted. But, you did it. And the obiden crime junta has no plans to re-freeze the 6 billion they gave Iran. And for about 20 seconds the world stood with Israel, and 20 seconds later, EU in massive U-turn as it declares it WILL continue to fund Palestine. Well, that didn’t take long.
In an effort to be just and moral, kind to the poor peaceful falestinians, Israel has been cruel to their own citizens. Much like the obiden junta. In an effort to be kind to the rest of the world, they are now exposing their citizens to the same acts of violence.
This is from Michael Yon down in the Darian Gap, this is what is heading towards U.S.
Remember the arabic saying? “First we kill the Saturday people, then we kill the Sunday people”. Meaning first we kill the Jews, then we kill the Christians.
It’s time to look back, back to King David, as Tamar Yonah pointed out in another broadcast, “How would King David handle this?” I think that’s worth exploring. We can all learn from history. It’s time to stop “kicking the can down the road”. Don’t “manage” the terror, eliminate it.
Pigpen51 left a comment on an earlier column regarding the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals complicity in California’s brazen violations of the Constitution. He thinks the Supreme Court needs to make some rulings with absolutely no wiggle room to allow California — and like-minded oathbreakers — to continue enforcing bad laws.
I hope that they do so with, shall we say gusto, or extreme prejudice, or with a heavy gavel? Because if they leave even the smallest crack in the rebuke, no doubt the anti Constitution liberals will find a way to yet again hold things up
Crack? Taking advantage of a “crack” is what they did with the original Gun-Free School Zones” law. SCOTUS tossed it, so they passed a new bill virtually identical to the original, with “moved in interstate commerce” tacked on.
Mostly they don’t worry about cracks anymore. If a law gets tossed, they simply pass it again with the punctuation slightly altered, and declare that it’s new and SCOTUS hasn’t ruled on this one. That forces the pro-freedom types to waste time and money to fight what is essentially the exact same law. Blue state legislators and AGs don’t mind because it isn’t their money they’re wasting; it’s yours.
SCOTUS should have put a stop to that decades ago. Now, emboldened by SCOTUS’ failure to slap them down, they’re escalating. California just passed a couple more bills that clearly violate BRUEN. And they know it. Newsom said so, saying that they will not be bound by the “general, historical legal tradition” demanded by BRUEN.
“Newsom framed the move as a response to the “rights reduction” caused by gun laws that function under a “1790s framework,” a recording of the signing showed.”
And it wasn’t just Newscum saying it. It’s actually in the bill passed and signed. (It helps to read the “Whereas” rationalization preface to bills, and not just the hard action portions.)
No longer will they need to “keep kicking that can down the road.” If SCOTUS doesn’t start arresting these scumbags, they don’t need to “change the makeup of the court” that they’ll ignore anyway.
Jews. Guns. No compromise. No surrender.
