Faith Leaders Speak Out on Militia Extremists

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) and the more radical Spanish Second Scholastics, including the Spanish Jesuits, Juan de Mariana and Francisco Súarez, asserted the right of revolution against tyrannical governments. These writers also wrote that standing armies were inconsistent with free governments, and that citizen militias were essential to protect the Natural Rights of the people and prevent usurpation by either kings or even elected bodies. These writings percolated from the Catholic world and in time found a home with Protestant leaders ushering in the Reformation. [More]

So, explain these apostates.

Oh.

If you’re not following Dr. Miguel Faria by now, who do you think that hurts more?

Calling the Shots

Top federal health officials actively took steps to “delay warning the public” for months in 2021 about the potential risks of heart-related complications from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, a scathing interim report from Sen. Ron Johnson’s office alleges. [More]

This can’t be true because I don’t see anything about it on CNN, the Big 3 networks, or in any of the major papers.

Besides, why haven’t there been any arrests and prosecutions?

We’re the Only Ones Jerky Enough

An Oklahoma City police officer pulled over Canadian County (OK) Sheriff Chris West for speeding (outside of Canadian County). Almost immediately, he recognizes Sheriff West, who proceeds to demand special treatment, ultimately lecturing – and perhaps threatening/intimidating – the officer, who only gave him a warning.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

Southport survivor calls for ban on pointed kitchen knives – as she says she’s not been able to use one herself since the attack that left three girls dead… While her physical wounds have healed, the psychological scars continue to shape her life. [More]

So, as much as we may sympathize, that gives her no claim to use her trauma dysfunction to shape other people’s lives.

What’s in a Name?

But most Americans today are more likely to associate the name with the left-leaning gun control organization than with the man himself. Is that really how we want to represent the pro-American, pro-Constitution Trump White House? [More]

Now watch the same @$$#0!e$ who demanded tearing down Confederate statues scream like stuck pigs when the plaque is taken down.

Unsuppressed Enthusiasm

I note the announcement does not include the SHORT Act being included in the House version. I’ve heard some stuff about that I may be sharing in a few days if I can confirm.

What will the Senate do? Gut feel: A critical mass of Dems love our money more than they our hate guns. And let’s not let this potential “win” on guns blind us to the existential dangers of out of control government spending to advance powers nowhere delegated.

Looks like I may have been wrong for being so negative about HPA’s chances.

Hey… does this mean I can dig up the Chore Boy…?
