You Have to See It: A Robber Hits a Kentucky Restaurant Where the Only Two Customers Are Both Armed (Video)
Via Billy
On Saturday night, a masked thief entered a restaurant in Elizabethtown, Kentucky and got more than he bargained for.
According to police, 30-year-old Justin Carter bounded onto the scene at Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers for a bit of the ol’ armed robbery.
The goob pointed his pistol at the cashier and demanded some cold hard cash.
But his plan got iced.
At the time, there were only two customers in the joint — Chase McKeown and his wife, Nicole.
The married couple of six months were enjoying a finger-lickin’ date night ’til Justin busted in.

Harry Truman’s decision to fire Douglas MacArthur at the height of the Korean War in April 1951 shocked the American political system and astonished the world. Much of the world didn’t realize the president had the power to fire a five-star general; much of America didn’t realize Truman had the nerve.
But Truman did fire MacArthur, whose complaints against the
commander in chief had grown louder and more public. MacArthur wanted to
expand the war against China, which had entered the Korean fighting in
late 1950. MacArthur complained that the president was tying his hands
by forbidding the bombing of China, thereby sacrificing American lives
and endangering American freedom.

Bloomberg on Gun Control, Ammo & Gun Ban Bingo!
Via Jacob
We typically try to keep things fairly apolitical here at the blog. But this week, I know a lot of our fellow staunch 2nd Amendment supporters have an eye fixated on politics. Michael Bloomberg, an outspoken politician supporting his own brand of gun control seems to be gaining traction as a legitimate major party candidate for President of the United States.
While we don’t dare tell you how to vote… if a man painted as a villain by the National Rifle Association for more than 20 years is making a serious run, we figure we might as well have some fun with it.

Survival Fishing: How to Catch Fish When SHTF
Via Alex
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Humans have been fishing since before the dawn of civilization. And it’s no wonder. Fish are nutritious and, dare I say, delicious. Plus, they’re plentiful, almost all are edible, and you can find them in just about every body of water coast to coast.

Soros Gets Blistering Response from Facebook After Attacking Company Over Trump Ads
Via Billy
A few months ago, a leaked internal memo from Facebook confirmed what conservatives had suspected: Yes, Donald Trump had used social media to win in 2016. No, he hadn’t cheated.
His campaign had just managed to master social media advertising.
“He didn’t get elected because of Russia or misinformation or Cambridge Analytica. He got elected because he ran the single best digital ad campaign I’ve ever seen from any advertiser. Period,” Facebook Vice President Andrew Bosworth wrote in a rambling memo.

Herman Cain: Black Approval of Trump Is Soaring & More Americans are Republican Than Democrat Now According to New Poll
Via Billy
You might recall that, in 2018, a Rasmussen poll showed President Trump with 36 percent approval among African-Americans.
That immediately led to howling from the media and the political class, who said the result must be an outlier or just made up because Rasmussen – they claimed – is a “Republican polling outfit.”
It is actually no such thing. It’s a nonpartisan polling outfit that doesn’t oversample Democrats like most of the others. Its methodology is sound and its poll results usually track pretty well with election results.
More bad news for Democrats as they head into the Nevada Democratic
debates. It would appear that new polling shows that more people now
identify as Republican than Democrat.
According to Gallup, Republicans have trailed behind or tied Democrats in terms of self-identification for some time now, but late last month the tables turned with Americans identifying as Republican at 30 percent, up from three points earlier in the month. The number of people identifying as Democrats stayed the same, however, those who identify has Independent shrank, suggesting they drifted to the right.

Napolitano on Roger Stone: ‘Almost Any Judge in the Country Would Order a New Trial’
Napolitano said it is “pretty obvious” Stone should get a new trial, adding that “almost any judge in the country” would order one, but he is not sure Judge Amy Berman Jackson will.
“I don’t know where this is going to end, he’s scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday,” Napolitano said of the case.
Co-host Pete Hegseth stated, “So, you think a new trial is likely or could come out of this?”
Napolitano replied, “Pete, I think almost any judge in the country would order a new trial. I’m not so sure about Judge Jackson. I don’t know.”
