Twisting the Facts

That’s how people promote ideas that are stupid. Just lie about them. That’s what Bloomberg was doing when he claimed that 2,900 CHILDREN die by gun violence every year. Of course, his “definition” of child includes young adults up to 19 years of age. Most of which are gang members and are shooting back, adding to the total. His figures also include suicides as well as homicides. What he is doing shows plainly that he KNOWS he is lying about “gun control,” and doesn’t care. He paints himself as a “brave advocate of public safety who is not afraid of the gun lobby.” As if the gun lobby is going to actually physically attack him. As with most anti-gun fools, he wants us to think that, just because they have guns, they will use them on people like him, so his opposition to the “gun lobby” is a “dangerous position.” This is a typical scam used by anti-gun fools to prop up their numbers: quote a fanciful number inflated by misleading the figures, and tout it to the skies. Even the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) uses figures that include “children” up to 17, many of which are shooting each other. Even so, that brings the number of “children’s deaths by gunfire” down 73%. With only 2 years’ difference in the inflated numbers. (Reason)

Disgusting Editorial Cartoon

Many editorial cartoonists are genius in the way they portray the news. Others disgust me. This one, by Gary Markstein, is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. In it, he shows a guy listing the names of every thug and criminal ever accosted by the cops on a wall, in 3” letters to fill up the wall faster. The list includes everybody ever accosted by the police for any reason, claiming police abuse of power. In those, he includes black men shot and killed by the cops for any reason. Good shoots, bad shoots, self defense shoots, where the cops are dodging bullets sent their way by the bad guys. Also included are instances of “suicide by cop.” The obvious intent of this carton is to “fan the flames” and make things look worse than they really are. And it does a good job of it. The latest shooting in Atlanta, GA, is billed as “being because he was sleeping in a Wendy’s drive-up line, asking if that should get him a death sentence, which is a serious twist of the facts. He got killed because he was fighting the cops, taking their weapons and using them on them. He could have “Tased” one of the cops with his own stun gun, taken his gun, and shot a cop with it. He was in the act of shooting a cop with that stun gun when shot. They’re saying he only resisted because he was afraid of being handcuffed, remembering that George Floyd was handcuffed when murdered by a cop, which is only a guess. I’d like to see a similar cartoon listing the names of all the cops killed by thugs, both from hiding, and while resisting arrest. The names probably wouldn’t fit on just one wall. (Gary Markstein)

Proved It again!

Again and again I point out to anti-gun fools the complete idiocy of their position, and they routinely ignore me and make their useless, unenforceable laws limiting the law-abiding people’s ability to own and use guns in self defense, getting them KILLED by law-breakers, who routinely ignore their laws. They think if those law-abiding people were to be armed, they’d “go nuts” and “shoot up the countryside.” Which completely ignores the fact that the law-breakers DO. I tell them and tell them that law-abiding people with guns can stop crimes. Well, it happened again in Chicago, fergawdsakes! Several carjackers tried to jack the car driven by a woman when her husband, who was one of the few legal “concealed carriers” in Chicago, began firing on them, causing all but one of them to run. He held him for the cops, who found and arrested others later. This AGAIN proves my contention that law-abiding armed people can do what the cops can’t do, because they are THERE when it happens. They do not “arrive later” like the cops, who can then only document the crime and MAYBE later catch the criminals, AFTER they have maybe killed their victim. Th sorry thing is that there are so many stupid people making and enforcing laws and getting people killed. We need to “vote the fools out!” Gun crime is actually going down, as more and more people are allowed to carry guns for self defense. Now gangs only kill one person a day in Chicago. Not a success story, but a step in the right direction. (Bearing Arms)

The Party of Fools

That’s the Dumocrat Party. Oh, not necessarily all those who count themselves as Dumocrats and vote that way. Most of them are just not paying attention, and vote the way they’re told. And the Dumocrats are ready and willing to tell them how to vote. First of all, the Dumocrats are socialists, which, in itself, is stupid. Anybody who really LOOKS at socialism wants no part of it, unless they’re promoting it to gain power over others. It’s a system BASED on the theft of the fruits of production of new wealth from the producers, for the benefit of those who, for whatever reason, do NOT produce, but only consume. And then there are the silly ideas they promote, such as that there are more than 2 sexes. They insist on it in the face of biological proof that it would be impossible.

They say sex is “assigned” at birth, which is false. It is DISCOVERED at birth by observing which of TWO sex organs the baby has. Nothing else can “assign” a sex, no matter how much they protest. They claim, transsexualism (where a man dresses like a woman and pretends to be a woman, or likewise a woman dresses like a man and pretends to be a man), is a different sex, but it is NOT. It is a mental aberration. They claim bigotry if men pretending to be women aren’t allowed to compete against real women in sports, and even SUE to get their way. Too often liberal judges agree with them and they prevail. But that doesn’t make it so. As Ayn Rand said, “A is A.” A can never be B. It is foolishness to try and make it B

Just as it is foolish to try and say there are more than 2 sexes. They try and convince us of other foolish things including believing they can stop violent crime by eliminating guns—which is an impossibility. Especially in this country, where we have the Second amendment guaranteeing the fact that we have the inalienable RIGHT to “bear arms.” Even so, the millions of ILLEGAL guns out there makes it an impossibility. Even if that were possible, violent crime would continue, just using something else as a weapon, as they did before guns were invented. They try and convince is that “there are no absolutes” so they will not be bound by an absolute. But their very statement SAYING there are no absolutes is a “statement of an absolute.” They refuse to believe it and continue to insist they are right. Stupid. (Just common sense)

Playing Into His Hands

Barack Obama hates this country. How he ever got to be president is a shame, and an insult to the electorate. He is a racist and a Muslim who hates Christians and Christianity. That is proven by his own words. Yes, he as a right to be Muslim, but that doesn’t give him a right to discriminate against Christianity, even though the Koran specifically tells all Muslims to KILL non-Muslims. The very fact that this man could get elected president shows a weakness in our system. Such people should be barred from politics and I’m sure people knew that about him BEFORE he even announced. There needs to be a system of vetting candidates to find out for sure what they really stand for before they’re ALLOWED to run for office and if they’re found to be an advocate of un-American ideas that should be brought out, not necessarily by their opponents, but by the publishing of the vetting results. Obama had been actively working to destroy this country as we know it as long as he has been alive, and people needed to know that BEFORE he was elected. He says this country is racist when it is Obama and his ilk that ARE racist. (Daily Headlines)

"Worried About Fairness"

Nancy Peelosi says the reason she is holding up sending her “articles of impeachment” to the Senate after making many noises about the “need for speed,” is that she wants assurance that it will be a “fair trial.” I think she should have thought about that before those boring, useless, “investigations” in the House, where they denied President Trump any kind of means to defend himself, and “slammed through” their “articles” without any kind of proof of any wrongdoing on his part. She has no room to talk at all when it comes to “fairness” after that dismal performance. I think the real reason she is holding onto her “articles” is so she can hold them over Trump’s head during the upcoming election, hoping to ruin his chances for re-election. But is is NOT going to happen. The amazing increase in his donations is ample evidence that the American people have already made up their minds, on the basis of FACTS, not suppositions and innuendo. They are GOING TO re-elect him, in spite of everything this bimbo can do. They elected him to get rid of the sort of politician that is represented by Nancy Peelosi, “Pencil Neck” Adam Shiff, and “Fat Boy” Jerry Nadler. And they’re working hard to blunt his efforts before he exposes them for the political hacks they are, and their corruption. (Just common sense)

I'm Repeating Myself

Every word I’m about to write, I’ve written before in this, and other spaces. I’m really getting tired of writing the same things over and over while being routinely ignored by the anti-gun fools. But I’m going to continue, in hopes that somebody will take my words seriously and cause them to stop making their useless, unenforceable anti-gun laws that nobody except the law-abiding obey. The law-abiding, who are NOT the problem, while the law-breakers just ignore them and get their guns illegally. A popular anti-gun law is the “background check,” which doesn’t do a single thing to stop people from killing people with guns, but just allows the cops MAYBE to apprehend the shooter—IF—the shooter got his gun legally, which most law-breakers—who ARE the problem—do NOT. In any case, it only would do anything AFTER the shooting happens and usually somebody is dead. “Gun-free zones” have NEVER stopped a single shooting in their “zones.” In fact, criminals and potential mass shooters SEEK THEM OUT because they figure they can be pretty sure the law-abiding there will not be armed, and thus will be defenseless. EVERY mass shooting has happened IN a “gun-free zone” for that reason. Meanwhile criminals, who just want to rob and kill people, do it more often than not in a gun-free zone. I could go on and on, but I won’t. I don’t want to bore anybody. In any case, maybe repeating myself will cement these things in the minds of people who read this blog so they can cogently argue against the misnamed “gun control” laws. (Just common sense)

Complete. Total. Stupidity

Defunding the police. Disbanding the police. What kind of dumb fool wants to get rid of the very people who “put a lid on violent crime” and keep it from taking us over? Just because there are a few damned fools who do fool things? Yes, kneeling for more than eight minutes on a man’s neck was a fool thing to do and was a textbook example of police brutality. But the vast majority of cops aren’t like that. Only a few. So why punish ALL of them? And yourselves? Because that’s what you will be doing if you get rid of the cops. That’s like disbanding the military and letting whomever wants to just come in and take us over. And that’s what you’ll be doing to your “army” if you disband the cops. You would be inviting the robbers, murderers, rapists, and all other law breakers to “come and victimize us.” And victimize us they would, with abandon, as they have proven with their riots of the last few days. They will come in force and take anything they want, because they will not have to fear being called to account for their crimes, with no cops. Politicians who support this idea are incompetent, and it is their policies that have caused the problem. Find me a city run by conservative politicians that have similar problems on a regular basis. And get rid of the one that paid thousands of dollars of other people’s money to write “Black Lives Matter” in four-foot letters in the street not far from the White House. (Just common sense)

"Not Obama's America"

Iran seriously underestimated us when they sent in their phony “militia” members to “storm” the American Embassy. They remember the insipid response to the Benghazi invasion of our embassy there, and think they can get away with attacking this embassy. They are going to learn very fast that President Trump is NOT the same kind of man that Obama was. They will pay a heavy price. Guaranteed. Reinforcements are on the way, and I doubt they will be using rubber bullets. Embassies are supposed to be “safe spaces” where our representatives can work for us and not worry about people wanting to hurt our people. Attacking our embassies is something doomed to failure with somebody like Trump in the White House. And it’s a scurrilous act. We are within our rights to use deadly force, and we will. Count on it. Those fools attacking our embassy think they are protected from deadly force by public opinion, but they’re not. Not after what the same kind of people did at Benghazi. We will not stand for another ambassador being murdered by a bunch of fools. Liberal fools are taunting Trump, saying, “Here’s your Benghazi.” But this is not, and will not be, anything like Obama’s wimp response and then lies he and Hillary told about it. The people attacking that embassy WILL pay, and pay heavily for that attack. Not like Benghazi, where a REPORTER was able to interview one of the leaders of the attack when Obama’s people couldn’t seem to find any of them. (Western Journal)

Parkland Father Removed

Nancy Peelosi’s guest, Fred Gutenberg, father of one of the Parkland School killings got himself thrown out of the State of the Union speech when he disrupted the proceedings. Ever since that killing, he has been an anti-gun fool, thinking wrongly that banning guns will save the lives of other students. It will NOT. I seriously doubt any anti-gun fool law would have stopped the killer at the Parkland School from getting his guns, illegally, if he can’t get them legally. NO anti-gun law has ever stopped a single gun crime, and never will, because the people who use guns to victimize people do not obey laws—ANY laws. Not just anti-gun laws. I think it’s instructive that politicians immediately moved to keep licensed concealed carriers from bringing their guns to church after one used his gun to save lives in that Texas church. A stupid response, to be sure. But you can’t tell these bozos that their idea of what to do to stop gun killings is stupid. They’re too stupid to realize how stupid they are. Gutenberg thinks the laws he is promoting would have protected his daughter, and he’s WRONG. Anti-gun fools criticize us for “doing nothing” about gun control. But I ask them, what SHOULD we do? They have no answer, except to criticize us again. (ABC News)

Who The Hell Cares?

Mitt Romney and George Bush (Not true. False news) have told us they will not support the re-election of President Trump. Who the hell cares what this loser does? I’ve always thought Romney is a fool and now he proves it. Trump doesn’t NEED the support of such losers to get re-elected, considering the good things he has done for this country, and in spite of one bad decision—the decision to “close the country” to “flatten the curve” of the Coronavirus. Which as, in my opinion, a cure worse than the disease—but that’s something to be debated among people smarter than In am. And he’s doing his best to reverse the effect of that decision. He is a man, after all, who admits when he’s wrong and tries his best to correct things. The people who count—and that’s not the liberal Dumbocrats—know what he has done, and support him fully. They were enough to get him elected in the first place, and they will be enough to get him re-elected, in spite of the childish antics of the Dumbocrats. There are way too many fools out there who have no idea what a gem they have in the White House. But not enough to elect that senile old fool the Dumbocrats have put up, for lack of anyone better. (Just common sense)

"It's A Kangaroo Court"

Nancy Peelosi, the “tearer-upper” said, after her impeachment hopes were dashed in the Senate, that the Senate action was a “kangaroo court and the acquittal was meaningless.” That sounds just like a five-year-old who didn’t get his way. It’s childish and petty, and has no business being practiced by the Speaker of the House. Actually, the House action was the “kangaroo court” in this plot, and the Senate “fixed it.” Somebody needs to take Peelosi aside and explain to her the facts of life. That Presents no evidence, of course. President Trump is winning, and there’s nothing she can do about it. Declaring the acquittal “meaningless” IS meaningless. Her tantrum didn’t mean a thing. She cannot reverse the acquittal. As long as she is the House Speaker she can sponsor more impeachments, which will also be rejected, after she spends more millions in her futile attempts to get rid of the single best president we have ever had. Somebody needs to find a way to stop this petty fool from spending millions of dollars that are not hers on her petty actions and send her home to walk the sh-t-filled streets of San Francisco, from whence she came. (Just common sense)

"Gun Control Hero"

As pro-gun people, we have many real heroes, one of the most recent being the guy who brought his gun to church in Fort Worth, Texas and killed a would-be mass killer before he could kill dozens of unarmed, defenseless people. Anti-gun fools confidently tell us a “good guy with a gun” cannot ever save lives, but that’s a damned lie. They do it, every day, but the liberal, anti-gun fool media ignores it, hoping we will not notice. But are there any real “anti-gun heroes?” Have anti-gun laws EVER saved a life, as legal gun-wielding folks have, on a regular basis? Anti-gun fools count former NY Mayor Bloomberg as a hero, discounting the many people who have died because of the anti-gun laws he has promoted and seen passed. But is he a hero? Not even! He’s a fool who isn’t intelligent enough to know that what he proposes does NOT “save lives,” and only TAKES lives by disarming good people, making them defenseless in the face of the ILLEGAL guns in the hands of the law-breakers. The blood of these good people is on his hands. That makes him the same thing as a mass murderer, and he should be in prison, not enjoying his $billions and lecturing people more intelligent than he is on “gun control.” One fool wrote, “How many people must die before you give up your guns?” And one wag made a reply I can’t include here, but it’s priceless.

Ratio: 800 to 4

In Minneapolis there are 800 cops. One of them is a plain murderer who knelt with his knee on a petty criminal’s neck until he was dead. Three other cops (rookies) stood around and let it happen. Maybe they knew what the outcome would be, and maybe they didn’t. But they will be punished, nevertheless, as will that ONE cop who knowingly murdered that petty criminal—who should not have been executed for passing a (maybe) counterfeit $20 bill. But is that a good reason to punish 796 other cops, many of whom are good people doing a hard, thankless job, while being threatened by the thugs they hunt, every day? Thugs who would just as soon kill them as look at them? And often do? What about the citizens of Minneapolis, who depend on those cops to keep crime and criminals under control? Who would then become the prime targets for those criminals, who are only being held back a bit by the cops? When you’re approached by a man with a gun who wants to shoot you, and you have a gun in your hand, do you shoot him, or do you shoot him before he can shoot you? The damned fools who want to disband the police forces of this country are facing that very decision, on a grander scale. It’s either surrender to the criminals, or maintain your defense against them—which is the police force. Without the police, you are defenseless, and you WILL “go down.” It’s as simple as that. don’t “throw out the baby with the bath water.” (Just common sense)

"Trump's A Threat"

That’s what most Dumbocrats say, and at least ONE Republican. Joe Walsh, nominally a Republican who acts like a dedicated Dumbocrat, dropped his bid for the presidency immediately after discovering there was NO market for his type of Republicanism. In Iowa, where Trump got 98%, he only got 1%. That must have been a real revelation to him. He fervently thought he had a chance, as do most Dumocrats. They SAY Trumps a threat, but they can’t say why, except for a few policies of Trump’s with which they don’t agree. They have no evidence of corruption on his part, while there is ample evidence of corruption on the Dumocrat side, which is ignored. I just don’t understand these “Trump haters.” They ignore all the good things Trump has done for this country in their irrational hatred of a man who has proven himself to be unbeatable. Trump has brought back the “good economy” Obama told us would never return to cover up his inability to do so, but they will not admit it. They keep harping on the “bubble theory,” saying this economy CAN’T stay this good, and “the bubble will burst” soon, hurting us all.” They are “doom-sayers” and can’t accept anything Trump does as good. If it was revealed that Trump was “The Second Coming,” they’d deny it, even as he proved it, conclusively. (TTN 45)

Ignorant Liberal Judges

U.S. District Court Judge William Young issued a 47-page ruling saying AR-15s and large-capacity magazines are not protected by the 2nd amendment. Where he gets that is beyond my imagination. Maybe he looked into his crystal ball. Where, in the Constitution, does it say WHICH GUNS are, or are not covered by the Second Amendment? The Second clearly says, “[T]he right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” What part of that says that certain guns should be exempt from the Amendment? Nowhere is there a definition in the Second Amendment as to which “arms” shall be included, and which shall NOT be included. This liberal fool “ruled” according to his anti-gun fool OPINION, NOT by what is IN the Constitution. He should be instantly reversed, and removed fro office for his bias. Rules should be made forcing such judges to cite the place in the Constitution that supports his or her rulings. (Just common sense)

Punish Bad Cops!

It’s no surprise that cop who murdered George Floyd thought he could do it and get away with it. After all, he’s done it before without punishment. The blame for that murder should be directly on his shoulders, and on the shoulders of his mayor and the other liberal politicians who run that city. If you don’t punish a cop when he gets out of line, it’s going to empower him to get out of line again, as it did with this one. He has had a total of 19 complaints of abuses of his power as a cop, with NO PUNISHMENT. Lack of punishment for such abuses has to come from the TOP. The top in Minneapolis is the mayor, whose policies led directly to this, and probably other murders. George Floyd was no saint, no matter how much the media wants to paint him as such. He has a long criminal record which includes his own violent abuses. But that record doesn’t give a cop the right to execute him summarily, over a (maybe) counterfeit $20 bill.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised to find one in my own pocket, because there are many in circulation. They know this. That’s why cashiers have that ubiquitous yellow pen they use on all bills, $20 or above, presented to them. There are 800 cops in Minneapolis, and one bad one. Maybe more than that, I don’t know. Then there are three new cops, with this bad cop as their training officer. How a cop with a record like his ever got to be a training officer, I don’t know. Bad liberal politics, I guess. So should you get rid of those 796 good cops because of one bad one? Not a chance. Laws don’t enforce themselves. They need police to enforce them. It’s no secret why the lawless want to get rid of the cops. They want to be able to commit their crimes without worrying about a cop putting them in prison. Anybody seriously wanting to disband the cops is a criminal—and that includes politicians who buy the bullsh-t put out by the “disband the cops” fools. (Just common sense)

Why No Protests?

The fools of the world were quick to protest and demonstrate when George Floyd was murdered by that ONE “dirty cop” in Minneapolis, but nobody seems to be concerned about all the cops who have been ambushed and killed, both before and after Floyd’s unfortunate death. Yeah, I know. Those predisposed to demonstrate, even riot over the death of a black man just aren’t interested in demonstrating over the deaths of a few cops. That shows me where their priorities are. The cops, most of whom are fine people doing a difficult and dangerous thankless job, go out every day and try there best to keep people safe, while a small number of damned fools go out and murder them. And except for a few of us, nobody seems to care when some thugs ambush and kill these easily identified people by their distinctive uniforms and cars. Yet they keep coming to work every day, just doing their jobs, in spite of the danger. It would serve these fools right if the cops disbanded themselves and just “walked away.” The people they are protecting (not all, thankfully) just don’t appreciate what they do for them and the wish to disband the cops is something they just haven’t thought out very well. (Just common sense)

Ignoring Reality

It just proves the anti-gun fools have a very different motive for “getting rid of guns” than lowering the crime rate when they continue to pursue their silly, unenforceable, USELESS anti-gun laws in the direct face of the fact that, even as they pass laws against guns, violent crime goes down—before any of their laws even take effect. That’s because “concealed carry” is up. Meaning their laws have NO EFFECT on violent crime. And the only viable alternate motive I can think of is to completely disarm the American population for their own purposes. They’re ignorant of yet another fact: that law-breakers don’t obey laws. Then there are those millions of ILLEGAL guns already out there in the hands of the law-breakers, and those sold and stolen every day. So there is actually NO WAY they can eliminate all guns from the equation. I guess they’re satisfied to remove only the legal guns—if they can. Of course, if they are able to do that (doubtful), there are all those illegal guns out there, to victimize the law-abiding, since they won’t have guns with which to oppose them. Nor will the “government agents” who come to taken your property meet as many guns in the hands of their intended victims. Remember: the first thing despots do is disarm the population so they can walk right over them with impunity. (Truth About Guns)

Defund the Rioters

The movement to defund the cops is growing among the stupid and the criminals (a repetition, there). Only the stupid or a law breaker wants to get the cops out of the picture so they can better victimize the law-abiding. But who is paying the air fare for all those losers who break into those people’s businesses, steal their property and trash what they can’t steal? Who is supplying those pallets full of bricks strategically placed in riot areas? Or the cache of guns that were found in DC close to the White House? Who are the real financiers of the riots? Somebody is. Rumors are that it is George Soros and his accomplices, but so far it is only rumors. Nobody has seen fit to do a real investigation to find out who they are. Yes, one cop kneeled on the neck of George Floyd until he died, and three other cops just stood by and watched while he murdered this man. It looks very much like simple police brutality until you think about the past association of these two men. Was there more to it than that? Did that cop have a grudge against Floyd as motive for first degree murder? It’s known that the two worked a security gig together. They knew each other a lot more than has been revealed. Will an honest investigation uncover a murder plot? Meanwhile, ignorant fools want to weaken the police, and many fool politicians are willing. Politicians in Minneapolis are talking about in fact ABOLISHING their own police force, allowing the law breakers free rein to steal from, and murder their residents with impunity, rape their women and children, and commit all sorts of crimes upon them, without worrying about the cops catching them and putting them in prison. (Just common sense)
