A video that
strikes a chord regarding the Super Majority NC Republicans currently enjoy, thanks in large part to gun owners like you. "This is not a threat, it's a promise!)
Jan Morgan speaks against an amendment to SB724 which would allow
stadiums and campuses to submit security plans to police in exchange for
exempting certain areas from concealed carry. Her statements end with a
mild threat to legislators. Jan is known as the "1st Lady of the 2nd
Amendment" and has appeared on Fox News in support of the NRA.
Time is up, yet so-called "pro-gun" Republicans continue to drag their feet on gun bills.
Republicans
must decide on MONDAY to move the bills, or else they will fail to make
the Thursday 'crossover deadline,' killing them.
What
good is a super majority if the party that enjoys it thumbs its
collective nose at its constituency, and does no more to rollback the
erosion of gun rights than the opposition party? Of course, the answer
is, it does voters no good at all. So why are they there?
Senator Cruz’s (R-TX) tax plan would enact a 10 percent flat tax on individual income and replace the corporate income tax and all payroll taxes with a 16 percent “Business Transfer Tax,” or subtraction method value-added tax. In addition, his plan would repeal a number of complex features of the current tax code.
Senator Cruz’s plan would cut taxes by $3.6 trillion over the next decade on a static basis. However, the plan would end up reducing tax revenues by $768 billion over the next decade when accounting for economic growth from increases in the supply of labor and capital and the much broader tax base due to the new value-added tax.
According to the Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to a 13.9 percent higher GDP over the long term, provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed.
The plan would also lead to a 43.9 percent larger capital stock, 12.2 percent higher wages, and 4.8 million more full-time equivalent jobs.
On a static basis, the plan would cut taxes by 9.2 percent, on average, for all taxpayers.
Accounting for economic growth, all taxpayers would see an increase in after-tax income of at least 14 percent at the end of the decade.
The word, war has been so over used, misused and abused that has lost
the real horror of what war really means. We have had a war on crime,
war on drugs, war on poverty. Unlike playing a war game on your
computer, in the comfort of your own room, bad things do happen to you
in war. Very bad things. By the way, have we won any of those other wars
yet (on drugs, crime and poverty)? We have a word to describe what the
lefties are advocating: Sedition. A crime, that still is a capital
offense.
Should this all turn ugly (the use of guns to impose your will
on the other guy), it will get uglier than either side anticipates.
Those on "the right" are condescendingly calling those as in the above
photo, pussies, wimps and cowards with no stomach for a real right. The
arm chair warriors with their weapon of choice and the amount of ammo
they have on hand confidently state how any lefty that dares to come
within a certain distance is a dead man. Over confident. They have
forgotten history.
Lefties are quite willing to commit mass murder to
achieve their political goals. What happened at Berkeley was a fluke.
Recall the SDS, and the Black Panther movements of the 60' and early
70's.
Students were willing to blow things up. It is only a matter of
how soon they bring weapons to the next protest rally. They will learn
from what happened and not make that mistake twice. Those on the
left having gotten their way for decades at little cost don't have a
clue as the rage those Deplorables barely contained under that very
thin veneer of respect for the law. They have committed the mistake of
believing their propaganda about those on the right. Big Mistake. Wars
have this very nasty habit of not going according to plan. Consider how
the South and the North viewed each other just before the War Between
the States started. Each side thought the other side was not a match for
the quality they had as a soldier, and any war would be over quickly
ending in victory. There does come a point where name calling will not
work to intimidate the politically incorrect person into silence, when
he does not care what you call him.
Then what? What if the ONLY thing
stopping some middle aged white guy from pulling the trigger is the over
riding wish to pay his bills, and one day he doesn't care if the
mortgage gets paid? It is one thing to lecture others on "social justice
issues" from the comfort of your You Tube web cam with a Starbucks
coffee in hand and another recovering from a gun shot wound that leaves
you crippled for life from a guy that refused to respect your invented
personal pronouns and what you "identify as". Walking around with your
"this is war", is not a good plan. It will NOT end the way you think it
is going to. Go back and read those old books written by those dead
white males on the topic of real war. You lefties can learn about what
real war is, by doing it the easy way or the very hard way. Your call.
The gods of the copy book heading will, absolutely, have the final say
in the matter. -NewVegasBadger
PS: Another thought here, to be put under the heading of, that is a good
question: In the event the Lefties get their wish of a war on the
Deplorables on the right, what are the LEOs going to do?
Officer
Friendly has morphed into Officer Safety. It already has gotten to where
what is printed on the uniform will tell you if the uniform is a
soldier or a member of some LEO department. Many LEOs do see themselves
as members of a paramilitary organization. They over the years have
gotten all the military hardware the various branches were willing to
give away. It is only a matter of time when they use them. Dot.gov
agencies have gotten their very own paramilitary security force.
They
have purchased using your tax money to buy enough ammo to practically
never to have to worry about running out. They do believe their bright
shiny badge does given extra rights. They do know that to get away with
murder all they have to state is the offender resisted arrest and the
officer feared for his safety. I don't want to be in the same zip code
when Officer Safety get to play with all that uber cool, high speed,
full cammo, official and genuine military stuff that he now has. I
strongly suspect that he will shoot first and ask questions later. And
not caring about your feelings, respecting your safe space, or what
video you are going to post on Facebook. They many not care if you are
wearing a Che shirt or a stars and stripe shirt, you're a sheeple
Join the North Korean Army or slowly starve to death.
The Ghost Has Been On A Brief Vacation.
In the interim the world and its insanity goes on. Sometimes it gets
harder and harder to care. A symptom of getting older I guess.
Korea: Yawn. Big deal. So what. Yes the little fat boy is a menace and
nobody wants to see NK armed with nukes and the missiles to deliver
them. Somehow though I don't think either China, South Korea or Japan or
the US want to take on the burden and costs of trying to assimilate
millions of starving and brain washed people into civilized society. It
would require a multi-generational effort and the rest of the world is
far to enmeshed in their own pending crises.
This is a higher education bubble alert if ever there was one. Can
someone explain to me in what world it makes sense that Taffye Benson
Clayton, UNC-Chapel Hill’s chief diversity officer, earns 38 percent
more than North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory?
Mind boggling, isn’t it?
And yet, the News & Observer’s public employee salary database shows McCrory’s annual salary at $142,265 annually, while Clayton’s salary comes in at $195,700.
This chasm was pointed out this
week by the good folks at the Pope Center for Higher Education, who
went on to point out the costly diversity madness doesn’t stop there.
(Keep in mind, this info is in advance of an upcoming vote on a proposed
UNC salary range increase …)
A review of All Clever Men, Who Make Their Own Way: Critical Discourse in the Old South, edited with an introduction by Michael O’Brien. Fayetteville: University of Arkansas Press. 1982. 456 pages.
The intellectual history of the South is yet to be written. This
assertion bootlegs two assumptions that do not go unchallenged. The
first is that there is something called the South distinct enough to
have a history. There are those who, from a variety of standpoints,
dispute this premise. Some seem to feel that the South is evil and that
therefore it is best treated as spurious and unreal, a kind of temporary
aberration from the norm of a progressive democratic universe. For
others the South is intangible, dubiously quantifiable, and therefore we
should concern ourselves with other things about which we can make more
reliable, scientific generalizations. These challenges would seem to be
overruled by common sense. The South must be in some sense a historical
reality— millions have for generations acted as though it were, and
even today, hundreds of presumptively sane people throughout the globe
are devoting careers to studying it.
Last week Trump supporters and leftist social justice warriors met on
the political field of battle in Berkeley, California. Words were
exchanged, as were punches. And while an alt-right leader was punched in
the face, by all accounts even the social justice warriors admit that
they got a major beat-down.
This prompted a reddit discussion
among the left’s tolerant resistance movement, with many asking how
they can more effectively go to war against anyone who disagrees with
their social, political, and economic views.
The anti-Trump protesters at the rally were ill-prepared for what
they came to Berkeley to confront and now they are trying to figure out
ways to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
In short, as predicted, they are turning to militancy and mob action
by mobilizing individuals and groups to attend combat training
seminars, acquiring better equipment like baseball bats and helmets, and
of course, if things really go bad… guns.
The political economist Benjamin Friedman once compared
modern Western society to a stable bicycle whose wheels are kept
spinning by economic growth. Should that forward-propelling motion slow
or cease, the pillars that define our society – democracy, individual
liberties, social tolerance and more – would begin to teeter. Our world
would become an increasingly ugly place, one defined by a scramble over
limited resources and a rejection of anyone outside of our immediate
group.
Should we find no way to get the wheels back in motion, we’d
eventually face total societal collapse.
