So, you think that in the middle of a list of restrictions on government power, the government prohibited the government from infringing on the government's right to keep and bear arms for its well-regulated militia?
A few days of processing the shock of my dad's passing, and now I'm angry. An 80yo vax'd, confused man lay alone an in ER for 9 hours while his vax'd family waited outside the hospital (no waiting in the waiting room). He died without contact with his family for hours... why?
I loathe Avanetti and Geragos, but executive branch politicos cheering the arrest of political opponents is a few steps from banana republic status.
If you don't want to be portrayed as a corrupt kleptocrat, prolly best not to act like one.
Which is to say, the FBI did more to track down a guy who reported weak security at a building than a guy who threatened to shoot up a school.
Why do we have this problem? I don't know all the reasons. But I think this is one.

True story....
Several years ago, I had a meeting at a prominent Los Angeles building. When entering the parking garage, I was asked to open my trunk for a security search. I popped it from the driver's seat, thinking nothing of it.
And then....

My dad has a PhD in physics. Known as Dr. Parry, he was a defense contractor and built secret stuff.
One weekend he got into a huge disagreement about our purchase at a lumber yard.
The manager tried to calm him.
Mgr: "So, what kind of Dr. are you"?
Dad: "I build bombs."

Empty seats and no concession lines are what they need to hear.
Twitter friends: One of my Soldiers has a crisis. His daughter is battling brain cancer. It's a severe fight. He has had to take weeks off work and will soon start getting bills.
He needs your help. So be

50 folks from South America baked to death last week while trying to get here because they know what it means.
But, if you can't figure out what third-world peasants know inherently, I can't help you.
Here's a real Native American BAMF Viet Nam combat veteran. The most decorated NA Viet Nam vet. Rest in Peace, Billy Walkabout. Honor him, not the camera whore poser.

After a few minutes of chatting, they agreed I had done the right thing and the security director was embarrassed. So they went on their way.
Mind you, I live 40 miles from that building....
I was stunned. I had a nearly complete kit for conducting a massacre in plain view and the "security guard" wasn't the least bit curious.
This is one of the most prominent buildings in Los Angeles. A prime target.
I was stunned...
@RAVerBruggen
Actually he had his hands up and said "don't shoot."
He was a misunderstood boy, just about to turn his life around.
Oh, sorry. Wrong narrative.
I had a profound OH SH*T moment.
It was a Monday after my drill weekend. The contents of my trunk consisted of a combat helmet, body armor, M4 rifle magazines, and several military bags.
I knew I was about to do a lot of explaining.
And the guard waved me in. No questions...
Fast forward a week, and there's a knock at my door. There are two guys in suits.
It's a Federal anti-terror task force.
They wanted to interview me about the incident at the building. The security director had reported me to the LAPD....
Having some time before my meeting, I went to the building security office. I met the guy in charge and explained my concern.
He gave me a bureaucratic brush off, and promised to retrain the guard.
It was obvious I was wasting my breath, so I left to go about my business...
Remember when NBC deceptively edited the Trayvon Martin 911 call so it seemed Zimmerman said he was suspicious because he was black?
Ask yourself who benefits from deliberate deception.

@cbsnews
, please correct the record!
Your video of an officer-involved shooting was cropped & didn’t include a key piece of evidence: the suspect holding a gun.
⚠️ To the Media Outlets: by editing or cropping this type of footage, you jeopardize the safety of our communities.
Unbelieveable. America has rocketing obesity and a crisis-level lack of physical fitness. Yet, we arrest people for exercising, just because of the location. Is there no freedom?
A man has been detained after jumping over a perimeter fence at
#LAX
and exhibiting odd behavior. At one point, he was seen doing push-ups on a runway.
So, the lab-leak cover-up by a narrative-clinging journogandist mass media was purely political and relied on ideological corruption of academia and science to silence dissent.
Good thing that could never happen with radical ideas like Global warming.
This is patently false.
43 Law Enforcement officers killed so far by gunfire this year.
34 were white

FOR THE 85TH TIME YES I KNOW I HAVE A GADDAMNED AUTHENTIC LOOKING COSTUME YOU FURRY FREAKS!!!
Thousands of people rioting in the streets about brutally violent cops, essentially unscathed by said brutally violent cops. They have no fear of harm from the brutally violent cops whose brutal violence they are protesting without being brutalized.
@SenatorMenendez
You are actually accused in a court of corruption with child molestation related. Since you want us to believe you are (otherwise) a man of principle, surely this means your resignation is imminent.
Another true story...
In the mid 1990s I owned a small newspaper. We covered the local city council, little leagues, the chamber of commerce and cops & fire. I went everywhere with my scanner.

For those of you keeping score at home, the revised news of 2020 is:
- C19 was a lab leak
-Fauci knew & covered it up
-Fauci vouched for HQN treatment
-A Cuomo killed 1000s
-C Cuomo aided the cover up
-Portland was ruined by ANTIFA
-Crime skyrocketed
But, democracy dies in...

Heard an awful judge story yesterday. Man w/IQ of 68. Wife dies. Her family evicts him from the house and sells his car. He's homeless. He goes to court. Judge: "I'm not here to argue with you about some old car, sir." 68 IQ. Homeless.
I really hate saying this. But, I gotta ask. When he gets away from the heat of the fires, climbs in his satellite truck with filtered air, and relaxes for a second... does he say to himself, "damn, I just blatantly lied to the whole country"?
And is he satisfied or ashamed?
You cannot make this up... A CNN reporter is standing in front of a building engulfed in flames and CNN's chyron reads:
"FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING"
If I stop patronizing a business with lousy customer service, a sub-par product and a union that actively seeks to stop the workers from serving me, I am not "attacking" that business. I'm exercising common sense and self-respect.
Our public education system is under attack, and it falls on all of us to step up and speak out. Oppose House Bill 563, support our schools, teachers and kids.
Can anyone name a journalist who has been fired for ommitting relevant facts? Or getting a story totally wrong?
Who was fired for "hands up don't shoot?"
For "Russia colluded with Trump."
For "Hunter Biden's laptop is disinformation"?
The list is endless.
They have one job!

The replies infuriate you? Gosh, that must be almost as infuriating a having a loved one killed by someone who should have been in prison but wasn't because the person in charge of putting him in prison was trying to be nice.

if the allegation against Kavanaugh for conduct as a juvenile is more or less disqualifying than his actual arrest for a wrong-way drunk driving wreck at age 26?

I've been pondering a post about this. We are facing a tyranny of not just a minority, but one in which weakness and brokenness are virtues, wielded as bludgeons with the substance of the bureaucratic state.
