Iran’s Islamic Republic ‘News’ and Domestic Gun-Grabbers Sabotaging Gun Safety for Iowa Children

Taking the cake for media manipulation may be PressTV, a state-owned affiliate of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting. They borrowed a photo of a cute little girl reaching for an unattended handgun to illustrate their take on the story, as if that’s what anyone is talking about, but with a headline like “Iowa approves bill to let children aged 14 and under have guns,” their job is done. [More]
Curious, that the mouthpiece “press” for the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has a history of training and sending armed children into battle, should concern itself with gun-grabber objections to U.S. parents teaching kids about guns.

Got a 'Republican' Alternative?

See, that's the dilemma: If not Trump, who? [More]

My friends at GOA say "Cruz." Disregarding his wife's Goldman Sachs affiliation, who doesn't believe Team Hillary won't challenge him on "natural born" citizenship -- and that they won't be right?  Don't argue with me on that, refute Alan Korwin's observations.

Rubio or Kasich? Not that they have the numbers, but if you want the amnesty/pathway to citizenship destruction of the Republic, and to make the Red-Blue Axis establishment happy, go for it. I note NRA, Norquist, et al, have thus far shown deliberate indifference to trying to refute those concerns with anything other than misdirecting anecdotes and unsupported happy talk. That's because they can't, and that's because the numbers can't be manipulated to work in their favor. Most of them appear to be hoping if they don't acknowledge it, a critical mass won't learn about it, and they're probably right.

Mitt Romney, after he jumps in to "save" the sellouts responsible for making Trump so appealing to so many...? Really?

Carson? That doesn't seem likely to happen unless he joins the frontrunner as Veep wannabe and fate/intent intervenes.

All the energy and acrimony may stem from people deep down knowing there is no alternative, and while everyone is having a cow over the number of angels on the head of a pin, "something wicked this way comes."

In the Spirit of Compromise

Yesterday I stood with my colleagues as we received a petition signed by more than 1.3 million Americans calling on Senate Republicans to do their jobs and stop the outright political obstruction around Supreme Court nominations. [More]
OK, we can talk about it, but in order to be confirmed, the nominee must in principle:
  1. endorse "shall not be infringed" and pledge to never rule against the Second Amendment being an individual right.
  2. agree that all Second Amendment cases brought before the court be considered under strict scrutiny.
  3. acknowledge that the legal concept "in common use at the time" refers, at a minimum, to weaponry carried by soldiers for battlefield use, in addition to those commonly used for self-defense and sport, and that it will include technological advancements so that new "arms" used for those purposes cannot be denied to We the People.
There's really no excuse for the mealy-mouthed duck-and-cover that Nazgûl nominees typically use to weasel out of actually revealing anything about the corpse under their robe. And this list is just for starters, meaning I'd also need to nail them down for views on immigration/amnesty/pathway to citizenship and other issues that threaten our ability to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."

Somehow, I don't think Murph the Smurf here is going to be receptive to the concessions I'd need before giving him what he wants.

Oh, and I'd also expect NRA to cause grade/endorsement pain for any senator not using this as a litmus test (Yeah, I know, "Ha!"). Because without an "or else," who thinks the Republicans won't cave?

Daily News Continues Assault on Truth with Brooklyn ‘Smart Gun’ Hit Piece on NRA

The bright side to all this is that the only people who will be taken in are those ignorant enough to vote for Adams or pay for the Daily News. According to all indicators, those latter numbers are shrinking, resulting in well-earned “downsizing.” Still, working against the truth, until such time as the company sucks itself out of existence, will be the desperation of those who haven’t yet been thrown out.

Kind of like Joe Scarborough presents himself as a Republican, and Bill Maher calls himself a libertarian.

To paraphrase Capt.Butler, they should be terrified, often, and by someone who knows how.

I saw a great observation over at Mike's the other day in response to one of his posts warning against the guy:
The point isn't that Trump might do all that, the point is that Trump is going to get elected by promising to do all that. He's going to get elected by saaying things that aren't PC, and that liberals hate. He's going to prove that you can be Right, and get elected. The Republicans have been saying for years that their only viable candidates were just as far left as the Dems: the only way to get elected was to be a leftist. Even if everything Trump says is exposed as a lie, he's going to expose a bigger, more fundamental lie: you don't really have to be far-left to get elected. 
That and he both creates and provides fodder for comedy gold:


Even when "progressives" make fun of the guy I still get a kick out of it, probably because they can't do so without exposing their own absurd delusions.

Message delivered:
UPDATE: Answered without you, Ted. I wasn't expecting you to reply anyway. From page "C" of the 2016 Director Recall:


So evidently hard core "Great NRA Patriot" Ted is OK with a fellow director who endorses gun-grabbers, just like he has done. It doesn't bother Ted if Grover works with Bloomberg to implement Hillary amnesty policies, and to ensure millions of Democrat-leaning anti-gunners are fast-tracked on the "pathway to citizenship." 

And like the rest of them, he won't give a compelling, numbers-based rebuttal because he can’t.

There's the Rub

According to legal experts, any child born to an American mother or father, no matter where, is considered a US citizen. [More]
But is that child considered a "natural born" US citizen?

This needs to be resolved now, not later.  It would create a genuine crisis were this suit to be dismissed, but a stronger complaint financed by the Democrat war chest -- accompanied by enthusiastic media cheer-leading -- were to be filed at the most opportune time of their choosing.

Trying to duck things doesn't make them go away.  It just sets the stage for a Streisand effect to incubate and grow.

It's on Constitutional expert lawyer Cruz to resolve this once and for all, so that there's no question and no danger. If he thinks it's a distraction now, think what it will become if he wins the nomination. Plus, this is bigger than him. This affects all of us. He owes it to everyone pinning their hopes on him, and donating their energy, time and money to get him elected.

And no, I'm not taking a "side" here on his eligibility. Not only don't I have time to wade through and try to validate  all the conflicting arguments, but ultimately, it's going to be what some black robes rule, whether I personally think they're full of it or not.

A zoo official testified in December that it operates a preschool on site, runs other education programs for children and meets the state definition of an amusement park, noting that Missouri law allows banning weapons in such places. The zoo said its preschool uses “the entire 90-acre campus of the St. Louis Zoo as a classroom.” [More]
Sounds like the same BS excuse Universal Orlando is using.

Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo.

We're the Only Ones Blameless Enough

Bradley said the department did a thorough internal investigation and found no one in particular is to blame for releasing Frustaci’s gun for destruction. [More]
I don't suppose anyone is responsible for proving it was actually destroyed, either.

Following secured stores procedures just ain't that difficult, people. If you want to follow them. Which is why my first thought isn't "negligence" or "honest mistake."

Setting the Tone

Santilli’s case has attracted the support of groups as disparate as the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon and the Oath Keepers, a citizen militia.  [More]
Well, thanks for linking to my piece, WaPo, but its not a militia.

You guys kind'a specialize in calling things what they're not, don't you?

Economics 101

$15/hr. meets reality.

I remember when I was a young foreman back in the late 70s and the union went on strike.  Within two weeks, we had office workers trained well enough in the floor jobs to where our production and scrap rates were comparable to what those who operated the machinery for a living produced. And this was a highly regulated industry, using state of the art (for the time) equipment and processes to make medical plastics, tubing and compounds. The lesson that taught was that if anyone can do what you do with that minimal level of time in training, how much effort have you put into yourself? What value are you offering to make doing business with you worth it?

Most of us have worked crap minimum wage jobs, often while going to school. They're not intended to be the end all.  And in terms of people having kids and needing more money, everybody who doesn't know how babies are made or that choices have consequences, raise your hand. You shouldn't get to make those choices and then use the up-to-lethal force of government to make those who made better choices pay for them.

The American Spectraitor

If white Republicans want white Europeans to dominate the American landscape once again, then they better start reproducing themselves. If they’re not making babies (they’ve sent their kids to liberal universities where they are systematically brainwashed), then they will be out-voted by Latino voters. [More]
So the solution is to empower the guy who wants amnesty?

This guy has verifiable evidence that'll reverse polarity on that 70% Democrat/anti-gun advantage?  Because every time the Repubs cave, betray their core and give the collectivists what they want, all our ships rise?

And it ain't a matter of "white Europeans."  Those who know the score would also oppose a mass influx of Swedes and Brits.

This is ideological, not racial.

Obama’s Kalamazoo Blood Dance Reveals End Game Disarmament Goal

“Clearly we’re going to need to do more if we’re going to keep innocent Americans safe,” Obama proclaimed at a White House meeting with governors. “[We need] to partner and think about what we can do in a common-sense way, in a bipartisan way, without some of the ideological rhetoric that so often surrounds that issue.”
Like what?  Notice he doesn’t get all that specific? [More]
You can’t “fundamentally transform America” until you first enact some “common sense ruling class safety laws.”

Daddy's Little Girl in Vogue

Mommy, a "progressive" who picked "prison reform" as her contribution to "social justice" fell for a lying bad boy killer.  So naturally the daughter needs to make the world safe for Daddy. It's the in-Vogue thing to do. [More]

San Francisco police are searching for the gun of a federal agent who lost the weapon after he left it on top of his car and drove off. [More]
And there have been others? See, if all these professionals with training can do this, imagine the disaster if we trusted you with a gun!

Two items of note: If someone found it, they evidently haven't turned it in. And we again don't know the dumb @$$'s name, do we? It takes a special kind of negligence, arrogance and entitlement to do something that spectacularly irresponsible.

Watch your rights get blamed if the gun ends up being used in something blood dance-worthy.

Trump and the Great Pershing Pig's Blood 'Hoax'

And if anyone knows pigs,
it's the Daily News.
The Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule is strong in those who wish to point and laugh at presidential candidate Donald Trump for repeating an "urban legend" about Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing quelling the Moro uprising by shooting some with bullets dipped in pig's blood.  [More]

The stories all point to Snopes dismissing it as a "legend," which is a different degree of standard than a hoax or a myth, which so many seem to be calling it as they point and laugh. The thing is, among those citing it as real were "Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham (D-Fla.)." Snopes presents further anecdotal evidence of Pershing "merely threatening to do as described," and also cites the 1938 book "Jungle Patrol," that seems to indicate credit for such tactics is a misattribution.

Here's the other thing for all those gleeful at seeing someone embarrassed by passing on an email hoax -- something many of us are guilty of, by the way. Per WikiLeaks, Dr. Larry Forness repeated the story in a document for his students that "was subsequently circulated within the US military."

Forness is "a professor at the American Military University who has "nine degrees, including three doctorates and two law degrees, with over half the degrees obtained via distance education. He completed his undergraduate training at Notre Dame and his advanced degree and training from prestigious universities such as Duke University and UCLA. He also earned two Law degrees (JD and LL.M.). A former Marine, Dr. Forness provides classified consulting to U.S. Military Special Operations units. Specialties include unconventional warfare and intelligence."

Now it could very well be that Prof. Forness is wrong-- he concludes by inviting readers to "verify it by any means you wish." It would be appropriate if he either sourced his information or admitted he never did.

That said, seeing it repeated by a professor at AMU and the Democrat Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee adds a bit more "gravitas" to this than just repeating an unsourced email from a pal. That none of those participating in the pile-on chose to acknowledge mitigating circumstances (assuming they even did the minimal checking to know about them) tells us much about the media and agendas.

As an aside, if I had Trump's money, I'd be tempted to buy the Daily News at fire sale prices, ax all the subversives, and turn it into an American newspaper.
