PRINCE GEORGE — The Board of Supervisors passed a resolution making the county a 2nd Amendment sanctuary. Until then, it was standing room only in the board room. The exterior 3rd floor lobby was packed to capacity along with the downstairs entrance lobby. The majority of, if not close to all, attendees are wearing various stickers and t-shirts with the “Prince George 2A Right To Bear” slogan and logo, along with “Guns Save Lives.” Downstairs, people were signing a petition in favor of President Trump and the 2nd Amendment. After the vote, most 2A supporters exited the board room and joined a group meeting in the downstairs lobby to discuss and coordinate future 2A Right to Bear thoughts and strategy.

Be On The Lookout For Agent Provocateurs In The Second Amendment "Awakening" in Virginia

This is what *Kaiserworks had to say: "Time to keep eyes open for Agent Provocateurs in the pro 2A rallies or an incident directed at an anti-2A Politician. I can tell you right now that when you see ‘breaking news’ and the badged orcs kitted up responding to some crisis, it will not be from our side. I implore those at the rallies, that if they see anyone smelling of an undercover Fed, contractor or even someone off their meds, be vocal and notify all those around you to the Trojan horse in your midst. Early warning and exposure may be the only thing that can derail a psyop or blackhat operation in progress".

Good luck dorkhead.  Does this mean AK's are OK? :)

Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced Monday his “assault weapons” ban will mean AR-15 owners can either register their guns with the government or hand them over.

The Virginia Mercury reported Northam spokeswoman Alena Yarmosky used a statement to say, “The governor’s assault weapons ban will include a grandfather clause for individuals who already own assault weapons, with the requirement they register their weapons before the end of a designated grace period.”

Pelosi Hands Trump Major Win, Backs USMCA

 WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 05: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced that the House will proceed with articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump at the Speaker's Balcony in the U.S. Capitol December 05, 2019 in Washington, DC. After weeks of hearings by the House Intelligence and Judiciary …

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced that Democrats had struck a deal on the new U.S. trade deal with Mexico and Canada.

Pelosi is a longtime free-trader and supported the original North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, breaking with many Democratic labor supporters who opposed the deal. That 1994 trade pact deeply divided Democrats and was opposed by conservative Republicans such as Patrick J. Buchanan.

The exploration of everyday life in a given historical period is often based upon the letters, diaries, and business ledgers and journals of the past.  Historians in the last four to five decades have also incorporated the findings from other fields of learning such as architecture and archeology to reconstruct the textures and rhythms of the lives of the people of the past.  The antebellum South, not unlike ancient Greece, was primarily an out-of-doors culture.  This was not only true of the countryside but held true for many city folk as well.  Climate certainly played a role in this, but so too did the roots of Southern culture be they in the agrarian backwaters of the British Isles or the river valleys and coastal regions of Africa.  Until the advent of air conditioning (a device whose origins are to be found in the infernal regions), most Southerners who found themselves indoors wanted to be outdoors.  Southerners, from the Chesapeake Bay to the Bayous of Louisiana were avid sportsmen, hear I mean the blood sports of hunting and fishing, who were also keen naturalists and observers of the natural world.

Saudi military flight students in Florida grounded in wake of shooting

Saudi Arabian military aviation students in Florida have been temporarily grounded as U.S. officials investigate last week's shooting by a Saudi military member at a naval air base in Pensacola, Fla. that killed three people.

“A safety stand-down and operational pause commenced Monday for Saudi Arabian aviation students at NAS Pensacola and NAS Whiting Field and NAS Mayport, Florida,” Navy spokeswoman Lt. Commander Megan Isaac told The Hill.

Reuters, which first reported the news, said that it would affect over 300 Saudi students across the three bases.

Horowitz report is damning for the FBI and unsettling for the rest of us

Image result for Horowitz report is damning for the FBI and unsettling for the rest of us

The analysis of the report by Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz greatly depends, as is often the case, on which cable news channel you watch. Indeed, many people might be excused for concluding that Horowitz spent 476 pages to primarily conclude one thing, which is that the Justice Department acted within its guidelines in starting its investigation into the 2016 campaign of President Trump.

Horowitz did say that the original decision to investigate was within the discretionary standard of the Justice Department. That standard for the predication of an investigation is low, simply requiring “articulable facts.” He said that, since this is a low discretionary standard, he cannot say it was inappropriate to start. United States Attorney John Durham, who is heading the parallel investigation at the Justice Department, took the unusual step to issue a statement that he did not believe the evidence supported that conclusion at the very beginning of the investigation.

Attorney General William Barr also issued a statement disagreeing with the threshold statement.

Two House articles of impeachment fail to meet constitutional standards

Image result for Two House articles of impeachment fail to meet constitutional standards

 House Democrats have announced the grounds of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress on which they plan to seek the impeachment of President Trump. Neither of these proposed articles satisfy the express constitutional criteria for impeachment, which are limited to “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Neither are high or low crimes or misdemeanors. Neither are mentioned within the Constitution.

Both are so vague and open ended that they could be applied in partisan fashion by a majority of the House against almost any president from the opposing party. Both are precisely what the framers had rejected at their constitutional convention. Both raise the “greatest danger,” in the words of Alexander Hamilton, that the decision to impeach will be based on the “comparative strength of parties,” rather than on “innocence or guilt.”

Impeachment X 3



“Poor Jerry Nadler: The House Judiciary Committee chief so wants to make the rush to impeach President Trump look respectable — but his hearings keep doing the reverse.”

The New York Post editorial board explains why. “Monday’s show, which nominally began the drafting of articles of impeachment, has to qualify as Democrats’ most blatant publicity stunt so far . . . If Dems really had a solid case, they’d slow down the process, ensure that it’s fair and earn GOP support. That they won’t is strong reason to doubt the whole endeavor.”

“The press corps is portraying Monday’s report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz as absolution for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but don’t believe it. The report relates a trail of terrible judgment and violations of process that should shock Americans who thought better of their premier law-enforcement agency,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.

“It’s now official: Russia, Russia, Russia really was fake news from the start. There was no factual basis for the FBI to spy on Donald Trump’s campaign . . .  J. Edgar Hoover can finally rest in peace. James Comey is now revealed to be the dirtiest cop ever to run the FBI,” Michael Goodwin writes in the New York Post.
