THE BIDEN PLAN TO END OUR GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC

Via Harry

Joe Biden presidential campaign, 2020 - Ballotpedia

Joe Biden knows that gun violence is a public health epidemic. Almost 40,000 people die as a result of firearm injuries every year in the United States, and many more are wounded. Some of these deaths and injuries are the result of mass shootings that make national headlines. Others are the result of daily acts of gun violence or suicides that may not make national headlines, but are just as devastating to the families and communities left behind.

calling Trump stupid - Imgflip

You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations ..
You mean the guy who won the presidency?
You mean the guy with the super model wife?
You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?
You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?
You mean the guy who created 1 million jobs in his first 7 months in office?
Are you sure you even know what it is you're resisting?
Are you sure you back a party that enables the decimation of every core principal of Christianity?

Are you sure you really take a politician like Maxine Waters seriously?
Are you sure you don't see anything wrong with someone who has a 40 yr career as a public servant living in a $4.5 mansion representing a district she doesn't even live in?
Are you sure you see nothing wrong or peculiar about Hillary Clinton a woman being involved in politics for the last 30 yrs having a net worth of $240 million?
Are you sure you're not just basing your opinion on hatred spewed by a crooked paid for media platform?
Could you even tell me 5 things the Democratic Party has done to improve your day to day prosperity as a hard working American citizen?
Probably not..
Do you realize the debacle you are sending your children into once they become adults by continuing to support a political party that has done nothing for the poor except kept them poor, gave them free abortions, and a few hundred a month to keep food in their fridge?
The prosperity and safety of its citizens is job one of your government.
Get with the program.
Everyone else has horribly failed you!
Smarten up and take a position for the sake of your children.
I promise you a country full of illegal immigrants, abortions, $15 an hour jobs, and non-gender specific people aren't gonna make your country and life any more prosperous.
Rosie, Madonna, Katy Perry, and Robert Deniro are not just like you. They don't have to live through the real world day to day disparity of an average American.
Men don't hate women, white people don't hate black people, and Donald Trump is not a racist.
Stop allowing yourself to be brainwashed by a party that has continuously failed you.
Be about your prosperity, your safety, your children, and an America First mindset.
Dump these crooked politicians that have stunted your growth.
Dump these crooked politicians that have stunted your children's growth.
Toughen up, take a stand, and act like a proud American.
See the spirit of Trump supporting and freedom loving Americans and just imagine where we could be as a country if everyone had the same priorities”

Landscape

 

 
The sun, a single red eye, burnt what was left of the earth, holding everything beneath it in a heavy, never-dimming glare.  It never left the sky, not even in those hours once reserved for night and the stars.

The land lay red and uneven under it like flayed flesh, gorges deep and hills steep.  Almost nothing remained, all flora and fauna dried to dust and indistinguishable from the dirt already there, water reduced to trickles, air clogged with the stench of the dead.

Birds, fish, and anything on four legs, even the most-lowly crawling ant or roach, had long disappeared, victims of heat and dissolution.

It was more than a desert.  It was Hell raised to the level of an earthly horizon.

All one could see through the dense, dusty glare was a stack of triangular oddities, books they had once been designated when language had use and a scant few could read them:  hard-backed and leather-bound, containing all that had once been cherished: story, song, law, history, mathematics, science, theology….  No other evidence existed of these aspirations.  A hapless soul had abandoned them there in child-like hope then disappeared into anonymity.

Then they came.

The marauders, man and animal conjoined, naked, tattooed, pierced, eyes dead, mouths full of their own blood, their own flesh.  At times, bumping against each other, they gave the impression of being one thing, a single monstrosity; then, parting again, they revealed their individual obscenities.  They tore across the hot, dead, powdery plain in a pack, yapping at each other, moving their red mouths but saying nothing, yelling and bellowing, snapping like crazed dogs after fleshless bones.

They had come from elsewhere, nowhere now, having dismantled the temples, torn down the monuments, crashed the statues, erased the noble names, obliterated anything beautiful and true with their bile, their blood, their feces.

Even in the throes of their chaos, they spotted the small tower of books, as a leopard catches glimpse of a hapless gazelle.  The scent of authenticity reached them and nauseated them further, as blood is said to madden the maws of dogs and turn them into killers.  They growled, they shouted, they fought each other for the opportunity to topple the tower.  They fell upon the books and rent them into pieces, flinging the pages into the hot glare of the pitiless sun.  They shoved pages into their mouths and regurgitated them at once, unable to digest what they could not understand. Shakespeare sickened them, as did Plato, as did Kant, as did Euclid, as did Livy, as did all the others who had written of what it had once meant to be human.  They destroyed the books and left the remains to the whim of the sand and sun.

And moved on.  They left, blindly, the taste for destruction still potent in their noses, their mouths, towards what else they must devour.

Constitutional Republic vs. Pure Democracy: How the U.S. Election Process Has Changed

 Constitutional Republic vs. Pure Democracy: How the U.S. Election Process Has Changed

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
 
Conservatives are generally quick to point out that America is a republic, not a democracy. But what really is the difference, and are they even right?

Voting in America has changed considerably since the days of our founding. Back then, the government didn’t even print official ballots. Instead, you got ballots from the candidate who wanted your support. Sometimes voting took place in public, so everyone knew who you voted for. And, of course, the franchise was largely restricted to white, male property owners.

An Open Letter To 6 North Carolina Democrats

 An Open Letter To 6 North Carolina Democrats

Dear Representatives,

I’m writing to you hoping to get an answer to a simple question: why did you change your vote on the Second Amendment Protection Act? During the legislative session, you voted for the measure, but after Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the bill, you switched your vote and opposed the act during a veto override vote this week. Why?

Was it simple partisanship? After all, Cooper hasn’t had a veto overturned since you and your fellow Democrats were able to end the Republican-controlled legislature’s veto-proof majority with your pickups in the 2018 elections. You’ve so far allowed Gov. Cooper to get his way, even if it means switching your votes so that the veto override fails. Does it just boil down to red versus blue?

Zimbabwe's clock ticking towards immense crisis

Via Lew


Cathy Buckle has opined the following opinion piece in which she said immense crisis looms in Zimbabwe as the beleaguered Southern African nation battles a myriad of socio-economic problems.

On these late winter mornings, you don’t have to listen hard to hear Zimbabwe’s clock ticking towards an immense crisis. Civil servants at ground level: teachers, nurses, security personnel, clerical and office workers are barely surviving, earning a basic salary now worth the equivalent of less than one US dollar a day. As I write the official exchange rate is ZWL$65.8 to US$1; the black market rate is ZWL$110 to US$1. Johns Hopkins Economist Steve Hanke estimates our annual inflation to now be over one thousand percent, 1,191% to be precise.

YouTube Takes Down Tucker Carlson’s Video Connecting Terrorist Susan Rosenberg to BLM

 

 

We reported on the connection between a terrorist pardoned by Bill Clinton his last day in office and Black Lives Matter.  Tucker Carlson then reported on this but for some reason the video of Tucker’s comments has been taken down by YouTube.

 

We reported on June 30th that BLM is connected to a terrorist pardoned by Bill Clinton his last day in office and other connections between the Democrat Party and BLM:

ActBlue
We were the first to report that BLM was raising money using ActBlue as a resource. The Daily Caller confirmed this and reported that BLM is not a non-profit organization and nonprofit organization (Thousand Currents) said it provides ‘fiduciary oversight, financial management, and other administrative services to BLM.

National Police Force: Protector of Tyrants

 Police

Tyranny in any form is an abuse of our Natural Law Rights.Resist Tyranny.

When President Obama spoke of creating a “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military, we should have been concerned.  A national police force, like Hitler’s SS or Stalin’s KGB, has been used historically by dictatorial governments to control and subjugate its citizens.  The County Sheriff is the highest elected law enforcement official in the nation, as all law enforcement officers in positions of greater power are appointed, not elected. 

A local sheriff, elected by the citizens of his county and subject to recall by their vote, understands that his primary responsibility is to administer law enforcement in a fair and just manner for the benefit of his constituents.

Confederate monuments in Gettysburg spark debate among historians

Across America, protesters and city leaders are removing monuments of Confederate soldiers.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is home to more than 40 Confederate monuments. The park is roughly 6,000 acres, attracting nearly a million visitors each year. 

Are the Confederate monuments educational or do they glorify slavery? It depends on who you ask.
“This is the largest of the Confederate monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield,” said Jason Martz, an acting public affairs officer for the Gettysburg National Military Park.

The statue of Robert E. Lee stands about 41 feet tall on the Gettysburg battlefield, a pivotal site of the Civil War.
