USAID - The War on Guns

All Politics is Global

And then there’s the Democrat workaround…

Don’t Cry for Me Argentina

President of Argentina Javier Milei signed a decree Wednesday broadening gun rights in the country by allowing Argentine civilians to purchase and possess semiautomatic weapons for the first time in 30 years. [More]

It’s not uninfringed, but it’s a damn sight better than it was.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

The US government skyrocketed the USAID budget for Brazil while Bolsonaro was there. Not to help Brazilians economically, but to flood the political opposition in Brazil with money to try to take him out. [More]

Unsurprisingly…

But He Was So Clean and Articulate…*

Barack Obama Was Using USAID to Pretend to Send ‘Aid’ Overseas But Was Laundering It to Train ‘Rent-a-Riots’ Instead [More]

Maybe Pam Bondi can make him a “prohibited person”…

Will Gripe for Food

USAID staffers turned away from offices even after court suspends leave order [More]

Reminds me of an Andrew Jackson quote…

Those two certainly look like the type of people I don’t want to be forced to feed.

In Pravda There is No News, in Izvestia There is No Truth

USAID Was Spending $268 Million to Fund Over 6,000 Approved Journalists – While at the Same Time Spending MILLIONS to Silence Conservative, Independent Media Like The Gateway Pundit [More]

Adds a whole new meaning to Authorized and Unauthorized Journalists…

‘We Paid for Our Cities to Burn’

Tides Foundation is the Soros ‘charity’ that funded much of the Antifa BLM protests in 2020. (Besides many other crappy things.) USAID was one of Tides’ primary funders. [More]

So, it’s not so much been Soros money as OUR money…

The more networks and connections that get exposed, no wonder even “mainstream” Democrats like Chuck Schumer are behaving like common street Marxists.

USAID and Comfort to the Enemy

The shrill responses from the uniparty eunuchs will grow louder until their own corruption is revealed. Buckle up. When all is revealed it will not only end many political careers, but there will be convictions and prison sentences. [More]

Either that or false flags, assassinations…

Your Tax Dollars at Work?

Guess who had USAID money “laundered” to them? Everytown For Gun Safety, of course.https://t.co/VZD1OVwu3v https://t.co/ng68FLJjXs pic.twitter.com/vohCgUqbUh

The whole thread is here.

And as long as we’re following threads, Everytown then donates to the “independent journalism project,” The Trace…

Now here’s the caveat: As explained when people question why it says “Taxpayer funds $0”:

Just to clarify here folks, the money started off from USAID and was funneled around and ended up in the anti-gunners’ hands. It was not direct. Doesn’t change the fact that it started off in your bank account…

I’d like to see a forensic accountant’s take on this.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
