How Helene Affected The People Of Appalachia

To begin with, this is your president. This ought to be one of the most shameful things ever said by a sitting president. "Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?" BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have." "Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?" BIDEN: "No." pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 30, 2024 We must have spent too much money on Ukraine to help Americans in distress. I don't…… [read more]

Alan Keyes And Paul Cottrell

A very enlightened and enlightening conversation.  I’ll also mention yet again that Paul discusses the necessity of Vitamins C and D3 if you want a healthy immune system, something we’ve seen elsewhere.

More Fast And Furious Lies

David Codrea.

… Rolling Stone has always been one of its most transparent promoters.

As for what those “loose gun laws” are, evidently they’re referring to the fact that criminals can find ways to get around the strict ones. In this case, the “gun law” violations are tied to a retired police officer, from the very class of citizens gun-grabbers tell us are the “Only Ones” we can trust with guns. Add to that their main subject was “a licensed gun dealer since 2007, and had acquired additional federal licenses to manufacture ammunition and possess machine guns.”

Yea, how did the FedGov treat their star patsy, their “main subject?”

Also, it was never really fertile ground to claim that guns mainly come from the U.S.

“Most cartels buy in bulk, and the weapons are coming from places like Nicaragua and other South American countries. Also Asia and some from the Middle East,” a Tijuana-based police authority who requested anonymity explained. “And, another factor is the CNC machines making uppers in clandestine shops in Mexico.”

Don’t tell Eric Holder.  His feelings may still be a little raw over this deal.

Police Officer Speaks Out Against Police Violating The Civil Rights Of Americans

BY Herschel Smith

This is the first installment he made.

So what happened to him?

There are two problems with all of this.  First, he has a sense of right and wrong and actually believes in it.

Second, he has an IQ greater than a Chimpanzee, and thus on both accounts he is unsuited for law enforcement in America today.

Utah gun rights advocate loses appeal to block Trump administration bump stock ban

News from one of the corrupt circuits.

SALT LAKE CITY — A federal appeals court has rejected a Utah gun enthusiast’s attempt to block a Trump administration rule that bans a gun accessory known as a bump stock.

A three-judge panel from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver upheld a district court ruling last year that found Clark Aposhian wasn’t likely to win his challenge to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rule that classifies bump stocks as machine guns. The court also found that he failed to show that blocking the ban would not hurt the public’s interest.

“Moreover, the public has a strong interest in banning the possession and transfer of machine guns, including bump stocks. The ban supports the safety of the public in general, and the safety of law enforcement officers and first responders,” according to the 2-1 decision.

Continuing the mythology, I see, as long as it serves their interests.

In a dissenting opinion, Judge Joel Carson concluded that a semiautomatic weapon equipped with a bump stock isn’t a machine gun under federal law.

To be considered a machine gun the trigger must function only once to fire more than one shot, and the mechanism that allows the trigger to function must be self-acting or self-regulating, he wrote.

“So does a bump stock increase the speed by which the user can fire rounds? Yes,” Carson wrote. “But does that mean the firearm to which it is attached is a machine gun under the National Firearms Act? No.”

He has a sense of honor, so he lacks the necessary temperament to sit on a court of any kind.

Never forget it was the NRA and Trump who gave you this.

Cops Don’t Get To Decide If The Law Is Correct Or Not

So says one collectivist.

SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. — Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney could lose his position, after a resident filed for his recall following his announcement that he would not enforce Gov. Jay Inslee’s stay at home order.

“I think that an elected law enforcement official is to enforce the law,” said petitioner Lori Shavlik of Bothell. “They don’t get to decide if the law is correct or not.”

I guess Lori never played that game in fifth grade where they come after everyone named Lori and put them in stocks just because they’re named Lori.

What Do Bill And Melinda Gates, The World Bank, Big Pharma, And The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board Have In Common?

An awful lot.  This is a very important video, conveying very important research into the machinations of the global health mafia and their demanded protection money.

Oh, make sure to be able to answer this question when you’re finished.  Who said this: ” … conducts at least two systemwide training and simulation exercises, including one covering the deliberate release of a lethal respiratory pathogen?”

Florida: Cop Tries To Kill Innocent Family’s Dog – Shoots Himself In The Foot Instead

BY Herschel Smith

Sons if Liberty Media.

Putnam County, FL — Proportionately, cops kill far more dogs than they do people. It’s quite a strange phenomena because postal workers, UPS drivers, and food delivery drivers don’t seem to have the same problems with dogs like cops do. It’s so devious, the killing of family pets by those sworn to serve and protect the public, we actually keep an archive of stories of cops killing man’s best friend. But one cop learned the hard way shooting a dog can be dangerous. He shot himself instead of the dog.

Chris Crenshaw, of Putnam County, had committed no crime and had harmed no one when a Putnam County deputy came to his home, walked into his gated yard and knocked on the front door before attempting to kill his dog.

Police were reportedly looking for a person who’d ran away from home. When the deputy knocked at the door, Crenshaw’s dog ran outside and police claim it charged the officer.

That’s when the deputy opened fire. Luckily for the dog, however, the deputy shot himself in the foot instead and the dog is fine. News 4 JAX reports that according to the Sheriff’s Office, the deputy reached for his gun to shoot the dog, but the dog moved out of the way and the deputy accidentally shot himself in the foot.

If readers think I get sappy and emotional from time to time, there is good reason.

I am a sucker for a happy ending.  This one brought tears to my eyes.

Woof says the bad dog.  Bite him!  Bite him!

Jerry Miculek On Self Defense Cartridges With The Modern Sporting Rifle

I was actually a little surprised at the results with dry wall.  I also expected a little different results from the heavier rounds (I expected the rounds greater than 70 grains to expand a bit more since they are “open tip”).

Latinos Vote For Gun Control: The Proof Is In The Money

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 6 months ago

David Codrea.

We know how most Californians vote and the enabling effect that has on citizen disarmament edicts just by looking at the state’s politics. We also know that a Latino population that became the majority turned the Golden State blue.

That’s a population that according to all observable realities as well as all credible polls is overwhelmingly Democrat and anti-gun. That means “amnesty” and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals in this country illegally (and legally, with CURRENT culturally suicidal policies) overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners, which is why they’re all pushing for it. And that means if unchecked, it will result in supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will then be able to pass whatever anti-gun edicts they want while confirming judges who will uphold those edicts and reverse gains made to date.

David took the words right out of my mouth (actually, I’m just quoting him).  Everytown and Bloomberg want to turn Texas blue and are spending millions to do it.  They did it in Virginia, and they can do it in Texas.

Why do they think it just might work?  Demographics.  If Latinos didn’t vote against gun rights, they wouldn’t have targeted Texas to begin with.

There is more, of course, but there’s all the proof you need to know how Latinos vote.  They wouldn’t be throwing that much money away if it was obviously a losing cause.

Jerry Miculek On An Odd Failure In The AR Platform

BY Herschel Smith

I’ve actually seen this failure, but only once (not in my gun).  I and the other shooters were all puzzled for a while, eventually got it cleared, and went on with the day.  We did everything he said we would do, including trying to remove the upper (but the bolt was back in the buffer and we couldn’t).  But I wish I had seen Jerry on this failure before that day.
