“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government"

 Via John "That is why our Founders insisted on forming a republic which is not hindered by all the downfalls inherent in a democracy. Notice that the Party of Pork never refers to the United  State by its proper designation and accurate description, a republic preferring to lie and refer to our nation as a democracy, in order to trick the feeble-minded, the gullible, the poorly educated and the misinformed."



“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

NC: Campaign to Remove Confederate Monuments

In numerous counties across North Carolina, Confederate Monuments occupy public spaces, including prominent placement on courthouse grounds. Confederate Monuments project the legacies of slavery and white supremacy; they are and are intended to be cultural symbols of racism; most of which were erected decades after the Civil War during the Jim Crow and Civil Rights eras. Those guarding the entrance of courthouses were intended as powerful messages of terror and injustice to all Black people who entered. They negate the very ideal of equal justice for all. That is their purpose.

Democrats looking to Secure $300 Million for CDC Gun Research

Democrats this week introduced bicameral bills to Congress that aim to give the Centers for Disease Control big bucks to support research into guns. 

The Gun Violence Prevention Research Act of 2021 would appropriate $50 million to the CDC each fiscal year from 2022 through 2027, "for the purpose of conducting or supporting research on firearms safety or gun violence prevention." The legislation was introduced jointly by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., who were not coy about what laws the research would be used as justification to enact. 

"We know of the commonsense solutions like the need for better and more robust background checks and the need to renew the assault weapons ban, but we must also seek other solutions,” said Maloney in a statement. "And we do that by studying gun violence like the public health crisis it is."

Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Uses Executive Order To Nullify Biden’s Executive Order

 

The States are starting to push back against Biden’s authoritarian rule.

Oklahoma’s governor Kevin Stitt has just issued an Executive Order that makes a recent Executive Order by Biden of no effect to the State of Oklahoma.

Stitt’s reason to nullify Biden’s Executive Order is due to the fact Biden’s executive order destroys thousands of jobs in the gas and oil industry and violates the Constitution too.

What Constitution? Sen. Rubio’s bill would suspend gun rights of anyone ‘investigated’ for domestic terrorism

 Via 4Branch

The following article contains editorial content written by a retired Chief of Police and current staff writer for Law Enforcement Today. 

—

WASHINGTON, DC- The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, contained within the Bill of Rights says:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Pretty cut and dry, right? Perhaps someone needs to tell that to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). In 2019, Rubio introduced S.1778- Terror Intelligence Improvement Act of 2019.

Sounds pretty good, right? After all, improving terror intelligence is a good thing.

However as usually occurs with anything coming out of Congress, the devil is in the details. Under Rubio’s bill, it would allow the government to suspend the gun rights of anyone who has been investigated for domestic terrorism.

Not arrested…not convicted…investigated.

Sen. Mike Shirkey: “The Capitol Insurrection Was a Hoax!”

 

 “If we don’t make a change, our vote will not count in 15 years,” he said

An absolute meltdown occurred today in Lib-Land when Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey said the Capitol “insurrection” was a hoax.

MichiganLive, the local fish-wrap, had this to say about the story:

The top Republican in the Michigan Senate referred to the violent Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., as a “hoax” in a meeting with county party leaders, a video recording of the interaction shows.

 In a video shot at Spangler’s Family Restaurant in Jonesville, Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, falsely claimed supporters of President Donald Trump were not at fault in the storming of the U.S. Capitol building.were not at fault in the storming of the U.S. Capitol building.

☝️ (editorial note from WeLoveTrump: what kind of journalism is this?  “Falsely claimed”?  That’s stated as a fact?  Really?  What journalism school did the hack who wrote this article go to?  Under what legal standard has it been proven as a fact that President Trump was “at fault” for quote “storming the Capitol”?  This is pure and unadulterated bias masquerading as news and they should be ashamed for printing it!)

 Lin Wood Mike Pence Traitor Donald Trump

Lawyer Lin Wood, a prominent booster of conspiracy theories involving former President Donald Trump, has claimed under oath that he has evidence proving that former Vice President Mike Pence is a "traitor."

 Wood stated that he had already handed evidence proving Pence's alleged treachery to the U.S. Secret Service in a court filing on Tuesday. The filing was made in response to an attempt to remove him as the lawyer for Roslyn La Liberte, the plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit against MSNBC anchor Joy Reid.
