Biden Talks About Using Hellfire Missiles Against American Gun Owners

Via Billy

Hey Joe Biden! You just tanked in the Iowa caucuses and your approval in New Hampshire is in free fall, with a couple of polls out this weekend showing you in fifth place. What are you going to do to right the ship? Oh, you’re going to talk about the Second Amendment? Yeah, that should work.

Van Jones: Let's Be Real, None of These Democrats Can Beat Trump

It's been less than 24-hours since former Democrat frontrunner Joe Biden placed fifth in the New Hampshire primary, producing panic among the "moderates" in the Party that his candidacy might be over.

From POLITICO: 

“This is horrendous. We’re all scared,” said a Biden adviser, speaking anonymously because the comments conflict with the brave public face the campaign is trying to broadcast. “I think we’re going to make it to South Carolina. I know we’re supposed to say we’re going to and we’re going to win. But I just don’t know.”

Chuck Schumer: Dems Will Be ‘Strongly United’ Behind Nominee, Even If They’re A Socialist

Via Billy

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reminded Democrats on Tuesday that the party would be united behind the eventual nominee, even if that nominee happens to be a socialist.

In a joint press conference with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Schumer rebuffed questions over whether the party will fracture if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), a “Democratic socialist” is named the party’s presidential nominee, leaving some Democrats — including, perhaps, Schumer — out in the cold.

The Tariff Road to Civil War

 

1860 Election Poster. “The only Issue before the Voters is the Protective Tariff.” Presented a flawed sectionalist economic appeal. 

Most Americans believe that the U.S. “Civil War” was just about slavery. They have to an enormous degree been misinformed.  Since the early 1960s, powerful academic and political interests have been straining every nerve to sustain the myth that the war was a glorious moral crusade against slavery.

How to handle the multi-faceted problem of slavery was often a divisive issue but not in the overly-simplified moral sense that lives in postwar and modern propaganda. Had there been no Morrill Tariff, the major cotton-exporting states would not have been so strongly compelled to secede, and there might never have been a war. Recent scholarship now estimates that the total of military deaths during the Civil War was over 750,000 and that

130,000 civilian deaths, including 80,000 displaced Southern slaves who died of malnutrition and disease following Emancipation and the collapse of the Southern economy, brought the total loss of lives to over 880,000. In addition, over 40 percent of Southern property was destroyed, and many millions were impoverished for generations. Without the Morrill Tariff, this terrible bloodshed and calamity might never have been.

Another Head Bounces Down the Steps at Department of Justice

Via Billy

There was an unexpected postscipt to the saga of the Roger Stone sentencing recommendation.

What started off as a petty and vindictive effort by three members of the Mueller team to embarrass Attorney Bill Barr and their own boss by handing what would basically be a life sentence to Stone ended up in all four prosecutors resigning from the case–one resigned from the Justice Department–and the Department of Justice delivering a scathing repudiation of the original sentencing recommendation to the court. Now the body count has increased by one. Former US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie Liu.

Liu had worked in Justice during the Bush administration and became a member of Trump’s transition team and was appointed US Attorney for the District of Columbia. Last year, Bill Barr tried to promote her to the Number Three slot in justice, but that plan ran into a buzzsaw named Mike Lee.

As it turned out, Liu was a pro-abort and she had opposed the confirmation of Samuel Alito (READ: Mike Lee and William Barr Get in a Shouting Match as Justice Nominee Is Blocked for Not Being Conservative).

Virginian Democrats Vote to Remove War Memorial Protection

Late Tuesday, legislation to repeal Virginia's war memorial protection was passed by both houses in our General Assembly.

The Senate vote was along straight party lines. ALL Republicans voted to protect them. ALL Democrats voted to allow them to be destroyed.

We’ve been telling you all that we knew in November that Democrats in Virginia would likely do everything they could to remove protection of the Commonwealth’s war memorials this session, and continue their efforts to punish us by doing everything they can to erase our history and silence us.

We’ve also been telling you that although we worked with and helped support a coalition working behind the scenes to try and stop this, we were also preparing for the worst.

What’s next?

Next we fight.

We fight every attempt by any locality in Virginia to remove, destroy or desecrate our memorials. We fight to have localities pass their own measures to proactively protect war memorials. We fight by raising flags AND memorials on private property. We fight by continuing to do what is OUR responsibility... honor our Confederate dead.

We have 28 memorial battle flags flying with two more currently under construction. We want our next to be somewhere in Richmond.

Help us make that happen!
