And Ye Shall Hear of Wars and Rumors of Wars

Schumer Warns U.S. Troops Will Be Sent to Fight Russians if Border Bill Is Not Passed [More]

We could just try something else. How did Washington put it?

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government. the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.

Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.

Or, we could ignore all that and listen to the same lying, oath-breaking whores who want our guns…

Police later said they were able to secure the school and determined that a student had a keychain with what appeared to be small revolver on it. [More]

Hysteria-producing ignorance this profound is engineered and directed, and you can literally tell people this unknowledgeable anything to spook them into demanding magic. And that’s just the way the prohibitonists want it.

Solving the ‘Red Book’ Problem

Rather than grousing about the cost of red books, the correct solution is to seek legislative redress from the General Assembly by allocating funding for the program. [More]

Me, I’d just get rid of permits.

But you need them for reciprocity to carry in other states?

Like I said, I’d just get rid of permits.

Son of Low-Hanging Fruit

A detailed search of the Anders’ residence unearthed an alarming array of weapons and materials, including ghost guns, bomb-making components, “emergency food supplies,” and “multiple computers.” San Diego Fire’s Bomb Squad also removed an RPG rocket launcher from the house. [More]

With all the hysteria over specialty rounds and cartridges legal in most states, and a demilled dummy RPG launcher, it’s fair to wonder how much of the rest of the article is hyperbolic DSM fear porn.

Thing is, this guy and Junior made it easy.

Imams Demand Action

Thousands march in support of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Protesters, many with kaffiyehs covering their faces, shout “Intifada, intifada,” “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and “America is a terrorist state.” Local imams give fiery antisemitic sermons. This isn’t the Middle East. It’s the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Mich. [More]

Rigorous!

I remember taking a field trip to Dearborn in eighth grade to visit the Henry Ford Museum and Edison’s laboratory– the epitome of American uniqueness, ingenuity and greatness, in the days before “vibrancy” and cultural surrender.
