The Henry 1,000-Man Shoot
In a symbolic showing of American firearms pride, 1,000 people gathered at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Arizona and together pulled the triggers on 1,000 Henry Golden Boy Silver Rifles at the same time. Shortly after 2:30 p.m. the participants, some from as far away as Florida, walked up to the firing line, stood shoulder-to-shoulder and simultaneously fired two rounds from the lever-action .22-caliber rifles, custom-made and engraved by Henry Repeating Arms. Few ranges in the country can accommodate an event like this, organized by the NRA, the greatest gun-safety organization on the planet, in cooperation with other fine American institutions.

Arizona Alert
Tucson thinks it's above the law again. In 2013 we passed good law to stop government from destroying guns that fall into police hands (lost and found, estates, turn-ins, out-of-business liquidations, police upgrade surplus, court cases, they get tons). Who do they think they are destroying valuable public property instead of selling it back to decent citizens through the great FBI background check system? So strapped for funds all the time, how can they burn this enormous city resource without a care? Not only did we ban that (§12-940) they get penalized if they do.

Tucson said screw you and has been destroying public property regardless, because the liberals running the city council have no respect for your right to keep and bear arms or the rule of law. They're being brought to court by the attorney general. The statute is clear. They stand to lose $170 million in state funding (according to an AP story in AzRep with no source or byline) if they don't back down. We need more of these comitatus-style laws that not only say "Don't do this" but also "If you do, you suffer penalties." Government needs the penalties more than anyone it seems.

UN Secretary General Hussein-Obama
Assuming he is even offered the position, will the Nobel-Peace-Prize winning best-selling author increase or decrease the joke the UN is by going from being the weakest leader of the most powerful office on Earth, to the most powerful leader of the weakest office on Earth? If late night comediacs can stop being hopelessly left-wing libtards this would be a laughfest supreme.

To make the point, the UN human-rights council (yes, human rights) now contains more communist tyrants and outright dictators than any other members. This despite the rule that only members whose governments "uphold the highest standards" of human rights are eligible to sit on the council. So go figure how these despotic regimes qualify:
Communist Cuba
Bolivia
Rwanda
Iraq
Congo
Ethiopia
Ivory Coast
Guatemala
Burundi
Qatar
Saudi Arabia
Communist China
Not a complete list

700 Black Chicago Murders But
Still no 700 black Chicago murder trials.
And no media outrage about the lack of arrests, charges, prosecutions, convictions.
The media continues to gloat about the high number of ghetto murders.
Skeptics swear this is because black lives matter.
700 murders this early is a new record.
Gun sales are up nationwide.
Good neighborhoods are armed to the teeth.
No murders. Hmmm.

By Force of Patriots

By Cameron Reddy 520 pgs. #BFO $18.95

 

In a world flipped upside down by liberals and political correctness, all three branches of federal government assert unknown levels of coercive power until fed up Americans rise up to take back their country. More than a tale of oppression and rebellion, it examines how America strayed from its roots, with intriguing, colorful characters who grapple with the social, political and legal issues at the heart of America’s difficulties. Raw, provocative, not for the faint of heart.

End Early Vote Tampering
Remember when the media took a huge hit for releasing election results before polls closed in Florida (in 2000)? Now they're releasing early voting data weeks before the election is even held! Isn't that the same problem that bent us out of shape? What happened to sequestering the results prior to even election day?

All the more reason to end early voting nonsense and abuse. Rise as a nation on a single day, as planned and spelled out in the Constitution, and pick leaders. No more voting for people early -- who have then since died, are disqualified, suspend their campaigns, are in prison already... bad bad bad. OMG -- Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC, was reporting early voting results from FL, get this, on Nov. 1, a week prior to the vote. And smug, because Hillary had it locked up.

Staged Riots
It turns out that, during the wall-to-wall coverage of the supposedly spontaneous coverage of the post-election riot-demonstrations, they were planned in advance and orchestrated by Socialist Advantage, under a guy named Ahmed Kanna. Socialist Advantage is an arm of the Socialist Party. Thank you CNN, for interviewing the guy.

Democracy Si!  Republic No.
Does your state have lobbyists working to enact so-called "National Popular Vote" (NPV)? Arizona now has two highly paid high-power full-time lobbyists working to eliminate federalism by working to eliminate the Electoral College, after 230 years of success. If a few more state legislatures sign the interstate compact, they'll avoid the amendment process and change how presidential elections are held, permanently keeping democrats in power. They say it's for fairness, it is nothing of the kind. It's altering the Constitution without Congress -- or you.

1- California to Repeal Laws of Physics

Those people really are fruits and nuts

"Zero-Emission Car" Lunacy, Discrimination Against "Low Income" People



The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:


Six laws and a dozen other regulations have been passed in Calif. recently, representing a more than $2 billion financial commitment to "clean" transportation... Tax concessions are a cornerstone of the government’s goal of rendering the internal combustion engine irrelevant by 2050... drivers are also offered an $8,000 grant towards an electric car... "Electric vehicles (EVs), generate fewer global warming emissions than gas-powered cars, and don't produce tailpipe pollution (hence the term: “zero emission vehicle”)," according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. http://www.ucsusa.org/clean-vehicles/california-and-western-states/what-is-zev#.WEiDi4XwA7A. A series of mandates, kickbacks, tax breaks and required "incentives" will force manufacturers to comply with state government climate-warming initiatives.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

All-electric, plug-in hybrid cars use energy of course -- which they get from the power plant that makes the juice you get from the wall or hard-to-find charge stations that makes the car work. Reporters and legislators don't seem to understand this simple rule of physics: "Electric cars need electricity."

Even if the plant uses hydro, wave, geothermal, wind, solar or magic power, the power must be transmitted, which creates loss. Then it must be stored in the vehicle, which creates loss. The vehicle must convert the stored energy to dynamic motive force, which creates loss. When you add up the losses, and compare it to using fuel directly -- well, no one knows whether it is efficient because no one has done such enormously complex studies. They just want to promote things that are "green." Turns you green with envy. The cars have no emissions. The power plants do.

Recalling the summer, and the winter, when the power grid teeters on the brink of collapse, communities suffer brownouts, smart meters are used to cut power to neighborhoods, curious minds want to know how the nation's fleet of cars will run off power plants on the electric grid. It sure won't be from the nuclear plants we aren't building, or from coal-fired plants the current administration has convinced democrats are evil. When asked, technical experts at a huge tech firm based in San Francisco (I asked, I was there), said you will charge you car at night, when demand is low. I typical fuel my vehicle in daylight, when fuel is low. And you?

The article never makes clear who exactly is making the $2 billion commitment.








2- Electoral College Matters


The nub of it:

True America doesn't support mob rule.
Simple majority democracy tramples minorities, we don't do that.
We have rules, a Constitution:

That's why we're a Republic NOT a one-vote-to-tyranny democracy.
(The person currently in the White House and reporters constantly get it wrong.)
Read the Declaration and Constitution, you'll see.

Top official offices here get filled in four different ways:

   The House is directly elected (two year terms)
   Supreme Court is nominated and confirmed (lifetime terms)
   The Senate was elected by State legislatures (six years, but method switched to mass democracy)
   President selected by state majorities through Electoral College (two four-year terms maximum)
   (Appointed officials in agencies frequently wield power they have no legitimate authority to exercise)

The Founders in their wisdom not only separated powers, they separated selection methods.


OK, now --



The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:

Hillary got more votes, she should be president! The election is unfair! She got a majority! The Electoral College is antiquated and makes no sense! It ought to be discarded just like the olden constitution, written by a bunch of dead white slave owning mysoginist pigs, and it's a living document that means whatever we want it to mean so it can help people! Hillary even said so in the debates, weren't you listening?



The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:


First, the words here are awful, because they don't mean what they seem to say.

There is no "college" in the Electoral College. Those folks are "collegial," meaning they work together.

Next, "federalism" is the opposite of the federal government. It refers to the States, as a balance to federal power. Federalism is a good dose of why we have remained free all these years. In other words:

Because you are governed by two governments, under federalism (state and federal), not one, there is a balance of power. If the feds are out of line, your state resists it, so federalism saves your sorry butt (and vice versa). Happens all the time. Some states approve of slavery, the feds say no, the rest is history.

The states and the feds battle over marriage, abortion, pot, wages, immigration, that's federalism at work. Eliminating federalism would destroy the brilliant system that has gotten us this far.

Arizona now has two highly paid high-power full-time lobbyists working to eliminate federalism by working to eliminate the Electoral College, after 230 years of success. It's a really really bad idea.

Democrats desperately want to get rid of the Electoral College, which the Founders invented and enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. It comes down to one thing and one thing only.

If the Electoral College is eliminated, we get democracy, also known as mob rule, and the Republic collapses. Anything that strikes the whim of the people gets passed. Population centers (there are about seven or eight) run the nation. Democrats will have a permanent lock of the office of the President, they know it, they're pushing for it.

--

Let's say Hillary got 65.5 million votes and Trump got 62.8. (They did.)
Looks like Hillary won. A 2.1% spread. Slim. And only a plurality.

But if Trump got 306 electoral votes to her 232, then Trump trounced Hillary.
(He did.) That's what happened. 57% to 43%. A clear majority.

But let's say Trump got 30 states and Hillary only got 20. (He did.)
Looks like Trump won again. He did. In another clear majority.

Trump won by a 60% to 40% majority in the forum that decides, the states.
Which translates to a decisive majority in the Electoral College.

With 320 million Americans, 128 voting means 40% of the total population voted.

The Founders set us up as a federal system, where the states' electors,
proportioned based on representation in Congress, elect the president.
Trump wins.

Otherwise, the few population centers would elect the president,
and most states would never have a voice. False democracy would crush the republic.

In Colonial, times, it meant Boston, New York and Philadelphia would always elect,
and Vermont, Georgia, New Hampshire and the rest would count for nothing.

We're a Republic, not a democracy, which the founders understood
would be a terrible mob-rule disaster. The Founders kept the word democracy
out of all our founding documents and plans.

It's imperfect. It would be either way. The way they chose was best. For centuries.

4- So, who did win?
And who are the real haters?

HINT: Whatever the left says conservatives are -- is what the liberals are.
They call conservatives racist, but the liberals are the racists. Who are the bean counters, constantly obsessed with how many blacks, or whites, or whatever group-of-the-day are included or excluded? It's the liberal race baiters (think Sharpton, Schumer, Jackson, long list).

Who is overwhelmed with feminist anti-men programs that are true misogyny? It's the liberals of course -- the men of conservatism are real men, not girly men. I could go on at length, but you understand. Liberals charge everyone else with their own liberal foibles, the election brought this out, especially the vitriol afterwards -- it is "psychological projection" -- they project their neuroses, fears and hatreds on the people around them because they can't face it themselves -- it literally defines the liberal mindset.


The defeat of Hillary has provided our friends on the left an excuse to vent their pent up hatred, racism, sexism and other isms -- including gunism, blind hatred of firearms -- at the world and all available targets.

If it weren't for their vicious anger and threatening hostility we'd be having parades and celebrations in the streets for the election of a populist non-politician for simply promising to make our great country great again... but we hold back out of fear of firebombing, smashed glass, race rioting from racists and other civil unrest from phony peaceniks.

Their main targets are the winner of the election and the half the country they aren't in, namely, the "red" blooded American half, the ones who hold religion in high regard, and cling to their guns, morality, rule of law, free markets, capitalism, entrepreneurship, individual responsibility, limited government, low taxation and limited delegated authority. We, the people who reject the takings coalitions, radical feminism, collectivism, socialism, cultural marxism sometimes called political correctness, and all the values that seek to undermine what has made America the most productive, affluent, opulent, safe, charitable magnet for the poor and downtrodden the planet has ever seen.

Cultural Bankruptcy

I've just returned from a three-day leadership conference in San Francisco, literally the belly of the beast, and was impressed by the degree to which even art has been compromised by a Cold War communist principle designed to undermine American values: "promote ugliness as art, meaningless forms of expression with no redeeming social value."


Blobs of nothing anyone could make, and revel in them as if they are worthy of praise. A few lines on canvass with some yellow, an oddly chipped chunk of rock called "woman," driftwood dubbed a horse, and a rounded black mass two stories high deemed sculpture -- with everyone seemingly oblivious to the nonsense of it all.

The simmering hostility the left has held for the right has come to a head with the election of a person who claims American values without excuse, even if he has a checkered past, and his future is unknown -- which is true of every person ever elected.

At a virtually paranoid screech, presstitutes in the left-facing media, institutions and the public are ranting about perceived future activity. No one knows where he will head, but they are projecting, in classic textbook psychological style, every fear they hold. Anticipating wild-eyed racist gulags, population purges and thought camps, the left is expressing fears with no basis in reality. Maybe they're right. But there is no factual basis for their expressed fears. Fear is good, when there is something to fear. Paranoia is unreasonable fear, which we are witnessing today at every turn. The "news" media is fanning the flames as fast as they can. Just more projection, from the same crowd.They don't know it.

The ACLU, quoting the mutlicutltural-inspired diversity-obssessed controversial Southern Poverty Law Center, is complaining about an increase in "acts of hate" around the country, attributing this to the election of Donald John Trump. It belongs to the radical alt-Left. The ACLU and their cohorts have failed, along with entire lamestream media, to recognize the overwhelming outpouring of hatred and vitriol from the left at every level -- aimed at the president-elect, his cabinet choices (only partially made), voters who voted for the winner, and even friends and relatives who do not agree with them in lockstep.


The biggest deception

Saying Hillary won a majority is false. Neither did Trump. No one did.

With a bit more than 60 million votes each (Hillary had slightly more, the final tallies are still not done weeks later) they each got around 20% of the U.S. population of 320 million. That's a plurality.

By any stretch, even if it is our wonderful system, it remains eminently unfair for 20% of the country to enforce its will on 80% of the country. Consent of the governed is a slippery concept, as I've opined in the past. Our Founders understood this, even if pundits today aren't informed well enough to understand.


The states are represented by the Electoral College. The same Electoral College the left is spewing hatred and vitriol at -- while accusing the winners of being hateful. That outpouring of poison has remained unnoticed by the ACLU, the SPLC, the DNC, the media and all other detractors of the election. But it does remain the only majority in the election -- and it is a true and real majority. More states went for the president elect, a solid majority. The way the nation's Founders planned our wonderful system. Where is the "news" media when you really need them.
