A Democrat finally says out loud what they all think about the Constitution
As a reminder, the Second Amendment isn’t for deer hunting or trap shooting. It exists to protect individuals from their government—and, as I never tire of reminding people, nothing is more dangerous than a government that turns on its people.

"The Democrats have made it plenty clear over the years that they don’t like the Constitution as written. They hate free speech, a free press, religion that is free from government intervention and, most of all, the Second Amendment and its clear recognition of every citizen’s inherent right to bear arms. Unable to change these principles, they opt for imaginary rights (e.g., abortion, same-sex marriage) and dream of packing the Supreme Court to circumvent the intentionally cumbersome amendment process. But they always pay lip service to the Constitution. That is, until Rep. David Cicilline (D. R.I.) spoke openly about his contempt. He is to be praised for his honesty.
"The occasion for Cicilline’s outburst was, of course, debate about the Democrats’ latest effort to use ordinary legislation (as opposed to the amendment process) to curtail Americans’ Second Amendment rights. More specifically, Cicilline was outraged that anybody would think there was a constitutional problem with proposed federal red flag laws." . . .
It’s Time to Drop the Word 'Homophobia'
"Let’s be clear: “homophobia” is a made-up word. It never existed throughout human history. But then one day, a guy imagined a word that meant “an irrational fear of gayness,” and liked it. He wrote it down, published it, and it was off to the races. "
. . ."Real phobias are treatable with systematic desensitization. They’re treatable by gradually exposing a person to whatever they’re afraid of. When someone can be exposed without “excessive” anxiety (note the lack of precision in the word “excessive”), the phobia has been successfully treated. The fear has been exposed as irrational and unnecessary.
"But “homophobia” doesn’t work like this.
"In many cases, it’s the opposite. The more certain individuals are exposed to all this, the more averse they become. There aren’t irrational fears, but at least in some cases, principles that are quite rational. (One exception can be children, who are still learning the rudimentary basics of life, and so are highly vulnerable—and gullible.)
"None of this offers reason to bully, shame, or depersonalize in either direction. There’s some room for healthy tolerance and mutual respect in these matters. Sexuality is a complex topic.
"But the word “homophobia” is poisoning the conversation. Instead of producing clarity and understanding, it inflames, confuses, and depersonalizes. It corrupts the possibility for genuine dialogue. It opens a portal for hatred to flow from one human to another. It also paves the way for the open persecution of anyone who hasn’t drunk the Kool-Aid of the Stalinesque narrative that powerful individuals are trying to shove down our throats.
"But even more, the word is psychobabble.
"It’s time we stopped using it."

Olga Skabeyeva is to Putin as CNN is to Biden
Putin propagandist Olga Skabeyeva says 'World War III has already begun' (nypost.com)
"Russian state TV on Wednesday declared that World War III with the West has already begun — warning that the US would “pay a heavy price” for interfering in the Ukraine war.
"Olga Skabeyeva, the steely-eyed host of “60 Minutes” on the state TV channel Russia-1, declared this week that the “special military operation” in Ukraine was over.
“ 'A real war has already begun — World War III,” she said. “We are forced to conduct a demilitarization not only of Ukraine, but of the entire NATO alliance.”
"The Kremlin mouthpiece singled out Britain and the US, pointing out that the western counties have been supplying huge quantities of weapons to Ukraine that are now being used on the battlefield against Russia.
"Another Putin supporter, political scientist with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Avatkov, then chimed in, saying: “anyone who would try to interfere with the special operation will pay a heavy price for it.”. . .

Are We Just Going to Ignore Biden's Biggest Whopper in His Shoddy Anti-Gun Address Last Night?
Townhall "We all knew this speech would be a waste of time—and it was. It was nothing we haven’t heard during the Obama presidency with one key exception—Obama can deliver an eloquent speech. Biden just looks small. He looks like he was never meant to be president which is why he lost twice before. He’s not a guy who will ever rise to the occasion because he looks slow, weak, and stupid. In all, the speech’s theme was ‘do something—I don’t care what it is just do something.’ When the political class agrees to that theme—bad things happen. Biden tossed out statistics that are undoubtedly wrong or half true. The biggest one centered on the firearm industry.
"This great industry is shielded from nonsensical lawsuits from liberal lawyers who think they can shred the Second Amendment by suing the gun manufacturers out of existence. If they had their way, every gun maker would be on trial right now. People would sue them for homicides and other gun-related events for which these companies bear no responsibility. On faulty safety defects, that’s a different story and something worthy of a lawsuit. For homicides, no—Remington didn’t sell the weapon to the criminal, and it was never meant to be used in a crime. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act which was passed in 2005 under George W. Bush is essential to protecting our Second Amendment.
"Yet, Joe . . . says the gun industry is “the only industry in this country that has that kind of immunity.”
"That’s wrong, Joe. You lied. I know the lights are getting dimmer by the day because your brain function is slightly higher than a yam, but I’m pretty sure the pharmaceutical companies enjoy a massive legal shield from the COVID vaccine. Oh wait—they do (via CNBC):". . .
More questions about purchasing guns
Another holiday weekend, another spike in big-city shootings
Those killed in major cities are largely people "of color." Where are the cries of racism as the media did with Uvalde, saying the police would have gone in sooner if the children had been white?
"You don't hear them talking about taking away their First Amendment rights to speech to control violence, but you do hear them say that about the Second Amendment. Gun control hasn't worked. The more they pass laws, the worse it has gotten. It's time to look for an answer that works and not keep posturing."
What if Chicago turns its rule over to Republicans? Those people will still be there with their guns.
In 2001, two months before 9-11 and after Mayor Guiliani replaced the Democrats' Dinkins, I asked a NY Policeman what Guiliani did to make the subways and streets safe. His reply was simply that Guiliani told police to enforce the law. Later came the Democrats. TD

In stark contrast to his immediate visits to Buffalo and Uvalde following mass tragedies, Biden made no trip to console the families of Waukesha, Wisconsin, nor did he demand Congress take on the car lobby. "Biden summarized his demands in a tweet calling on lawmakers to pass new gun bans and repeal immunity laws for firearm manufacturers that don’t exist. "An easy giveaway that Democrats aren’t ever actually serious about solving the underlying issues whenever tragedy strikes with firearm, Federalist Senior Editor David Harsanyi points out, are that the laws they routinely propose never would have prevented the carnage in the first place.". . .

Joe Biden wants to ban “assault weapons” and “high capacity magazines” yet Democrats refuse to prosecute violent crimes in Democrat cities all over the country, and refuse to protect your children at school with armed security.
Same Democrats are protected by armed guards daily.
NO SHAME: The leader of free world is a walking gaffe machine
. . .Biden resents his staff following him around with a broom and dustpan: "He makes a clear and succinct statement — only to have aides rush to explain that he actually meant something else." This, according to Biden, "smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise."
"The president of the United States is a blowhard — again.
"If the country thought that it was getting a buttoned-up, by-the-books communicator after four wildly undisciplined years of Donald Trump, it knew nothing about Joseph R. Biden's long career as Washington's standout long-winded, seat-of-the-pants, poorly informed and misleading talker.
"Joe Biden blew up two presidential campaigns with his verbal idiocy, and no one thought during his decades as a senator that he was just the statesman the country needed to handle sensitive international questions with precise, cogent communications.
"Winston Churchill famously mobilized the English language and sent it into battle. Joe Biden tries to muster the English language but confuses and dispirits it, until the poor language slinks off ready to get its discharge papers and return to civilian life.
"Biden's handling of Russia and China in recent months has been marked by a basic inability to stay within the lines of US policy — by seeming to give a kind of green light to a "minor" Russian incursion into Ukraine; by calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to go; and by committing to defend Taiwan by force.
"All these wayward statements required immediate and utterly predictable cleanup by a White House staff that must be on constant alert to explain on a moment's notice what the president meant, after he says something completely different.
"Rarely have so few had to clarify so much.". . .
Years ago, Joe Biden asked me why I never used sound bites from him in my coverage of the Senate. "Senator," I said, "I think you're a windbag." He good-naturedly laughed it off. I thought it was true then. Read this and see if you think it's true now. jewishworldreview.com/0622/lowry0601

Joe Biden Admitted in 1985 Criminals Will Get Firearms ‘With or Without Gun Control’
Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report, June 2, 2022
and commissioned a script, but the studio won't say which actor will play the Man of Steel. We all know how they should stage the crowd scene on the street to open the movie. Look, up in the sky--it's a bird, it's a plane, it's gas prices!
• President Biden held a White House meeting with the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Tuesday to consider ways to fight inflation. The skyrocketing cost of gas even affected the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday. For the first time in racetrack history, the drivers had to carpool.
• President Biden appeared to propose banning 9mm handguns Tuesday in an ad-libbed remark that was quickly walked back by the White House and re-explained as favoring an assault weapon ban. President Biden spent Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery. He had to show ID to get out.
• Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday and said she supports the effort to craft a red flag warning law to spot crazy shooters ahead of time. She'd flown across the country and back to deal with her husband on Memorial Day. She was honoring the fallen down drunk.
• Special Counsel John Durham's probe of the Hillary campaign's use of the now debunked Steele Dossier to frame Trump was stalled by a partisan jury Tuesday. A jury of Democrats in DC acquitted Hillary's lawyer Michael Sussman of lying to the FBI. The first one to congratulate him was O.J. Simpson.
• A DC jury acquitted Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman of lying to the FBI when he told the FBI in 2016 he was not tipping them to the Trump-Russia collusion fiction on Hilary's behalf. Sussman can now relax. Hillary's called off his suicide and the jurors will live to see their next birthday.
• Russia's Vladimir Putin held a virtual meeting with European leaders Tuesday to urge them not to sell weapons to Ukraine. The Euro leaders are just lucky they were invited to parley. Whenever Vladimir Putin hosts a conference of international leaders, if you're not at the table, you're on the menu. More here...
California is guilty of racism and must pay reparations
Andrea Widburg "California is a troubled state. Its cities are drowning in a sea of feces and needles from the homeless flooding the streets, crime is rampant, the cost of living has gone through the roof, illegal aliens are pouring into the state, and people who aren't bazillionaires can't wait to leave. And now, just to make it a bit more hostile to the average person, the "California Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans" has released a 500-page report detailing its history of unparalleled racism and demanding reparations from taxpayers.". . .

. . ."The difference between Asians and Hispanics, on the one hand, and Blacks, on the other hand, is cultural. The Asians usually have intact homes and put a huge premium on education. The Hispanics usually have intact homes and put a huge premium on hard work. These are cultural pressures that shape children to go on to productive and often profitable lives. Meanwhile, roughly 77% of Black children are in single-parent homes, a sure indicator of future poverty. And as often as not, there's no father involved, which leads to higher criminal rates for boys.
"Let me be blunt. Throwing more money at Blacks will make virtue-signaling White leftists feel a little more virtuous. It will not help those Blacks who are sinking into a morass of poverty, crime, abuse, and despair. The only thing that will change is when they stop looking for reparations (even arguably deserved ones) and start repairing their broken communities."

Joy Reid of MSNBC: Uvalde Police Would’ve Saved Kids If They Were White…
Is there nobody at MSNBC with the moral standards to be sickened by this Demagogue?
Despite having no law enforcement background to speak of, Reid insisted “it doesn’t take eleven minutes for the police to respond to an active shooter call.” Adding in some class warfare for good measure, Reid claimed “in wealthy communities, it don't take eleven minutes.”
Weasel Zippers "Proving once again how filled with hatred she is, MSNBC’s Joy Reid invited Maria Teresa Kumar the leader of the left-wing Latino voter mobilization organization "Voto Latino" to discuss the delayed police response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and the conversation immediately took an ugly turn when Kumar & Reid both agreed that if the students were white the police wouldn’t have responded so slowly.
"Kumar started off by noting how “since the last election in 2020, Joy, we've had over three hundred thousand young Latino and African American youth turn eighteen.”
"Which led her to ask “where do you want to live, and do you want to live in a place that is segregated or in a place that's inclusive and recognizes you as a human and your rights?” Seemly suggesting that Uvalde is racially segregated by design. ". . .
USA "For years now Joy Reid has used her MSNBC platform to peddle outright racism. But no more according to an insider who claims she’s being removed from the airwaves.

35 Arkansas Churches Consider Leaving UMC over LGBT Debate
Worthy Christian News "Thirty-five Methodist congregations in Arkansas are considering disaffiliation from the mainline United Methodist Church (UMC) denomination amid concerns that the UMC is headed away from its traditional stance on LGBT issues and toward blessing same-sex marriage and allowing noncelibate homosexuals to serve as clergy, the Christian Post (CP) reports.
In light of disagreement on LGBT issues, on May 1 a number of theologically conservative Methodists launched the Global Methodist Church (GMC) as an alternative association to the UMC, CP reports.
A growing number of churches, especially in the US, have decided to separate from the UMC and join the GMC instead. Among these congregations are 107 churches in Florida belonging to the Wesleyan Covenant Association, a theologically conservative UMC group. The Florida chapter of the WCA told the Christian Post: “107 Florida Methodist churches have chosen to initiate the process to depart the Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church … 107 represents approximately 20% of the 560 United Methodist Churches in the Florida Conference.” . . .
That puts them one up on the Marines. TD
