For those saying Israel isn't our concern: it is. You're wrong to stand aside. This isn't just another round of the conflict. It is quite different. You have a moral obligation here as a human being.

I'll explain. Had Hamas limited its attacks to the IDF - and they do seem to have caught the IDF with its pants down - then no matter how many soldiers they killed, it would have been completely legitimate. War. Even any civilians killed incidentally in such attacks would have been ok.

The premise of J6 is the basic flaw of it: they are seriously asserting that Trump tried to overthrow the United States government. This *obviously* wasn't what Trump was trying to do. And to keep the absurd Narrative going, just like with Trump-Russia, all they can do is lie. If you seriously believe there was even the hint of a thought on the part of Trump or his people that they could just muscle Trump into 4 more years, you're an idiot. The J6 people - and Trump - are patriots; they just wanted their questions answered.

The resistance to MAGA is simple to describe; it is cowardice. Fear of change but far more importantly it is *fear of responsibility*. We’ve been infused with cowardice: instructed to wait for permission and that the government has to fly cover when not ordering us around. We used to be a nation of people who took off into the West without so much as a by your leave and then did whatever the hell we wanted and then set up a government to ratify it. Now we fill out forms for permission to own not just a gun, but a car or home.

4 died in Benghazi and they arrested an obscure filmmaker to deflect attention from their failure.

This didn’t bother you. They manufactured bogus evidence against Trump and the apparatus of federal law enforcement was set upon Trump and his people based on this pack of lies.

This didn’t bother you.

They are most of them a combination of addict and insane. Most would probably reject any shelter offer and if you convinced them to take the shelter they’d rapidly destroy it. You are correct that no decent society should allow this; but are you prepared to do what’s necessary?

It isn’t going to just be spending money and building housing. You are going to have to compel these people: into the shelter you provide and in getting them off drugs, into what psych treatment they may need and then teaching them the rules of civilized life.

The Pro-Choice people are very much at the heart of what is wrong: greedy cowards who will destroy all as long as they think it’ll keep any sacrifice or suffering away from their door. Think about it: they want to f*** like crazed monkeys and have no consequences for it. They want to go to school without paying for it. They want well paid jobs without earning it by years of apprenticeship. They want *their* healthcare immediate and free regardless of basic realities. They are black holes of incessant wants who want to pay no price.

Here is the correct understanding: The blame for those who died, were injured or suffered loss is 100% borne by those who maliciously stirred up a race angle on the death of George Floyd. Race played no role in Floyd’s death and that was obvious from the get-go. Bad policing? Sure. Malfunctioning society? Of course. Incompetent political leaders? Oh, you know that’s right. But not race. Floyd was not detained because he was black. He was detained because he was an asshole.

I can bum you out:

The Covid fear mongering will strictly limit Dem losses next year and will allow them to eke out a victory in 2024. This is because *just enough* people are still suckered by the MSM while tech companies throttle alternate sources. The battle for America is lost. They won and they’ll reshape this country into something that hates the country we love. To make you feel a little better, this battle was lost before most of us were born.

I wish Democracy fetishists would understand that voting is only incidental to Democracy. The key component is the people ruling themselves. If the Pres I vote for can mandate a mask on my face but the king I didn’t vote for can’t t the former is tyranny, the latter Democracy. If all I’m doing by voting is deciding who’s boot will be on my neck then I haven’t got Democracy. I need to rule myself. I and the people I live around need to make most of the laws we live under. That’s Democracy; that’s freedom.

Guys: if you’re not willing to do a bit of shooting pour encourager les autres, this won’t get fixed. Only the thought that they may be shot in a fortnight will concentrate the military mind and get them off working a lobbying gig and back to learning how to fight. Sounds harsh, but that’s the deal. No one forces anyone to become a general or flag officer and upon their decisions people live or die. War is a serious business and if people are dead or crippled because the boss f***ed up, *of course* that guy should be shot.

War is both simple and complex, but mostly it is simple. It just seems complex because a lot of things are happening at once and, at the time of conflict, you're making your decisions on the fly and always with only partial information. But the basic of it is always the same. You are trying to compel, by force, people to do your bidding. That's it. Nothing else to it. Now, you can only do this compulsion after your enemy is fundamentally unable to oppose your force. That's what the fighting is about: to see who will wind up with power to compel.

The idea that we couldn’t conduct an orderly withdrawal under pressure is *nonsense*. The chaos we’ve seen is just bad generalship. MacArthur was able to conduct a double retrograde to Bataan in 1942. Monty got his 3rd division back to Britain in 1940 intact. This disaster is entirely a disaster of command. No head. Nobody is in charge. A bit of foresight and courage and we would have got everyone and the material out or at least rendered the equipment unusable.

The real failure of 1/6 was Mike Pence. He didn’t avail himself of the Constitution to resolve the issue. It would have been very simple and all it would have taken was the courage to stand against MSM propagandists. Now, you may be of the opinion that there was no problem with the 2020 vote, or perhaps of the opinion that there wasn’t enough of a problem to warrant any dispute. Cool opinion you got there. It’s entirely meaningless in current context.

The sum total of all Conservative efforts since National Review was founded in 1955 has been utter failure. This includes the dissolution of the USSR, because by the time that was done, the Leninist poison was deeply implanted in the USA.

It was all a wasted effort. And it was wasted because Conservatism refused to fight the only battle which matters: the culture war. Just to clue you in a bit: you can't keep a vibrant, low-tax, Capitalist economy if everyone living in it is a Socialist who wants government support for their art project.

There is very little chance that in any officer involved shooting that the intent of the police prior to the event was to kill. There aren’t bands of racist cops roaming the land yearning for the chance to kill black people. The Narrative we’re debating under is false. And so we must cease debating under it. The basic premise must be rejected. We must concentrate our efforts on the violence perpetrated by those advancing/believing the Narrative. And this must be done with no reference to underlying incidents.

Some rules for on-line living, regardless of the platform.

1. Don't talk about guns/ammo.
2. Be wary of discussing prospective violent actions by anyone.
3. Don't talk with random people (unless you've known them on line, keep it vague if you respond at all). They are going to cook up some new form of the Patriot Act to attack "domestic terrorism". A domestic terrorist is you, so keep that in mind. You are the enemy. You are the reason they will make the Act. They don't have total power, so just being careful will go a long way.

The Bourbons and Romamovs both thought their opponents wrong, thick headed, ignorant of the complexities of government, unaware of the dangers in reform. They also felt a combination of trickery and oppression would keep their opponents under control. That sort of thing works until it doesn’t. Eventually, those demanding change decide that fighting is preferable to living. That’s when the heads come off. You Dems and NT have triumphed for a day; but only for a day. Unless you change, you are doomed.

It doesn't matter that you believe the election wasn't stolen - tens of millions of your fellow Americans believe it was. If you want peace, you have to show them that they are still part of the political system. You must - and I'm not kidding - offer concessions. If you don't; if you sh** on them and try to go on as if nothing has happened, you'll find that those tens of millions will become increasingly radicalized and willing to engage in actions outside the system which they believe has excluded them. This *will* happen.

Let me be clear on this: if you sit out the GA election. If you urge others to sit it out. If you advocate anything other than total commitment to GOP victory in GA, then you are both a dumb ass and a traitor.

It can't be emphasized enough what a disaster losing the Senate is.

The Dems will abolish the filibuster and they will pack the Courts; they will install Justices who will simply rule that the Constitution *does not* protect an individual right to bear arms and that "hate speech" is not protected under 1A. You will have no protections.

This is the guy who got mad at Trump because he did the "send her back" to Omar. Now, maybe that was a rough thing to say - but to Omar, Mitchell is a pillar of a completely racist AmeriKKKa. To Omar, this country which *saved her life* is inherently evil.

https://twitter.com/RepPaulMitchell/status/1338599898141356034

And we're not supposed to get mad about that. When people like Omar say this nation is racist, they are saying that I am racist. It is a personal insult. And I'm supposed to just roll over for that? Ok, sweetie: whatever you say!

No: I do not have to lie down under insult.

I don't think Barr is a bad guy. But he's also not remotely what we needed. It is *all* political now. There's no neutral referee. If we again obtain Executive power, we'll need someone who will quite ruthlessly prosecute, in front of Kansas juries, our law breaking opponents. Only by punishing can we possibly convince the Dems to quit. Right now, they know they can drag ours through the courts on bogus charges while they skate on genuine corruption. We won't do bogus charges: but there are plenty of real charges to make.
