Welcome to the Party, Pal

I like Mark and he’s certainly on our side, and correct about his concern. But this is way late to come to the table with the concern compared to the warnings David Codrea and I have both laid out for years now. [More]

By saying he hasn’t taken a position, he’s hedging his bets and protecting himself from being lumped in with us “xenophobes” and “haters.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

So the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is celebrating its 20th birthday—the perfect opportunity to rethink the whole concept of “homeland security” and how to best provide it. DHS has grown into a monster that is massively expensive, incredibly ineffective, and reliably destructive of basic civil liberties. It’s time to abolish it and replace it with fewer, smaller, and more accountable agencies. [More]

First, let’s talk about what those agencies would be Constitutionally authorized to do.

We’re the Only Ones Elite Enough

No, it’s not a toy gun! Your elite 104 Precinct Public Safety Officers confiscated this illegal Orbeez air rifle, capable of causing serious injury akin to a BB gun. [More]

So neither of those two “elite” meatheads has the presence of mind to be embarrassed?

But Wait! There’s More!

Our story continues.

So he’d been previously reported “authorities” knew about him. And he was a “German citizen.”

What we don’t know is if he was born that way. And why the “news” accounts I’ve located so far are content to identify him only as “Phillip F.”

It’s almost like there’s something the government/media alliance doesn’t want people to know.

A Matter of Priorities

Pentagon announces largest-ever defense budget request [More]

Funny– Congress never spends even one penny on “organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” And none of those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” are demanding it.

Seeing as how the authors of the Constitution they all swore an oath to uphold viewed it as “being necessary to the security of a free State,” Why do you suppose that is?

Naturally, It’s Trump’s Fault

SVB Failure Sparks Blame Game Over Trump-Era Regulatory Rule [More]

Yeah, more central government control, that’s always the answer, because they do so well at everything else. Plus it’s in the Constitution somewhere, isn’t it?

The less someone’s actions are regulated, the more they bear responsibility for them. It’s like a law of nature or something. Meanwhile, the major banks think it’s good business to collude on policies that alienate tens of millions of Second Amendment-believing gun owners.
