Daily Round Up Star Date 2021.312

1. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was on CNBC and was asked about her plan to increase oil production so that gas prices would come down. She laughed and blamed the rising prices on a cartel called OPEC. She said OPEC refused to increase production. What Granholm did not do is tell the interviewer that America was energy independent under Donald Trump. We were an energy EXPORTING nation as we produced more than we used and we sold the excess. The only cartel responsible for the rising prices is the Biden Administration. Joe Biden undid all of President Trump’s work for energy independence because he would not allow anything Trump did to stand and he is hell bent on appeasing the morons in the so called squad. Well, laugh all you want Granholm. Perhaps now America will see for sure that the Dem-Commies do not really care about the middle class and the poor. They only care about enriching themselves and their donors while bankrupting the nation with green energy stupidity. While people have to choose between paying for gas and paying for food the swamp creatures get richer and richer while pushing us closer and closer to the edge of the fiscal apocalypse cliff.

2. In America, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This is true for the accused no matter how loveable or deplorable. We do not have a perfect system of justice in America but we have the best in the world and we strive to make it better though we sometimes fall short. Kyle Rittenhouse is a young man who defended himself from a mob that wanted to kill him. He shot and killed two of the attackers and he wounded a third, a person POINTING A HANDGUN at him and preparing to shoot. He was not as fast and ended up injured. Rittenhouse was charged with several counts of murder and is on trial in Kenosha. The defense is doing a good job of showing that this was self defense even though a few wealthy families with members in all parts of government are trying to derail this (one is a police officer who was not bright enough to figure the person coming from the area of a shooting, holding his hands in the air in a surrender position, might have something to do with it). Instead he painted Kyle as a non compliant person. In any event we now have the Antifa/BLM thugs (one of whom is dead criminal George Floyd’s nephew) threatening the judge and the jurors in the Rittenhouse trial. They are directly threatening the safety of the jurors and their families and are trying to doxx them as well. They must have learned this behavior from Congress Critter Maxine Waters who threatened a riot if the cop who was allegedly responsible for Floyd’s death was not found guilty. Merrick Garland, the US Attorney General, has defended his letter threatening parents at school board meetings by saying it is a crime to threaten public officials. Well Merrick, it should then be a crime to threaten citizens but in this case, the judge and the jurors are public servants. The Dem-Commies better rein in their trained rioters or there will be a hell of a lot more shootings and all of them will be self defense.

3. Democrat Communists are responsible for the downfall of society. In Chicago, Mayor Lightfoot is going all out to fight the number one problem plaguing her city, unvaccinated police officers. Once she makes sure these cops are vaccinated and can no longer cause health issues then she can tackle lesser things like the shooting and murder spree that has continued to increase in her city. Since Friday evening 45 people were shot and it is reported that eight of them have died. Shootings are up 220% from last year and the murder rate is set to increase 30%. Well, at least those police officers, the ones who remain (if any) will be vaccinated for a virus most people have a 99% chance of surviving…

4. The FBI raided the homes of several journalists associated with Project Veritas, including the home of its founder, James O’Keefe. The raid was because of the diary of Ashley Biden, Joe Biden’s Daughter. Project Veritas received the diary information last year before the election but did not do anything with it except report it to law enforcement. PV did not publish it but they were raided anyway. I am absolutely certain they were raided for political reasons. First of all, it is not illegal for a news organization to publish anything it gets so long as it was not involved in any illegal act. So a stolen diary, NOT stolen by the media, can be published. PV did not publish it. The FBI had no legal right to conduct these raids and is probably using the diary as a way to silence PV after it exposed a number of liberals and their elections fraud. The diary contained some very disturbing items about child molestation and Ashely taking showers with her father that were probably inappropriate (her words right from the diary). Maybe the FBI should be spending time investigating that and the Hunter Biden laptop instead of using storm trooper methods to intimidate citizens.

5. How else is Hunter going to get his drugs? Joe Biden is working to make sure lots of cheap opioids are available for his drug addict son. It is a gift from the Big Guy for that 10% cut over the years. That and Biden is not content with killing a bunch of people with vaccine mandates, he needs more dead so he is allowing drugs in to help him out. He is Satan incarnate.

6. This will come to America very soon. Austria, the birthplace of Adolph Hitler, has implemented Covid lockdown measures but they only apply to the unvaccinated. You can bet that this will be Joe Biden’s next play. He (more accurately, his handlers) sees the noncompliance of people with regard to his mandates and when he implemented them he told us he had lost his patience as if he is your boss or parent (God forbid). You can bet that once he sees that people are not complying he will call for lockdown measures that only apply to the unvaccinated and this will usher in the vaccine passport to the delight of anti Americans like Bill Gates, George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg. It will probably start in a Dem-Commie run city or state and then branch out all over. The unvaccinated need to rise up and end this stupidity. How long before we are giving the Nazi salute to Herr Biden?

7. Without obedience, tyranny fails. Do YOU have the courage to NOT conform? That is the ultimate question from the book Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty by psychologist Roy Baumeister.

Would you, Baumeister asks, “obey orders to kill innocent civilians? Would you help torture someone? Would you stand by passively while the secret police hauled your neighbors off to concentration camps?” Baumeister writes, “Most people say no. But when such events actually happen, the reality is quite different.” Today, to the point, will you obey orders to fire upon people who refuse to comply with mandates?

This article lays out, through historical example in Nazi occupied Poland, how good people can be made to do bad, tyrannical things, and how it takes courage to resist the tyranny. Do YOU have the courage?

Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties

Several counties in Oregon have passed their own regulations regarding firearms and those regulations are in reaction to the gun control laws Oregon passed (Oregon Firearms Safety Act). The counties are basically saying they will not comply with state law and that they will do things their own way.

The state has supremacy in this issue and it will get dicey but the counties are saying they are Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties. They point out the state is a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants and if the state can ignore the law and be a sanctuary for that issue then the counties can ignore the state law and be sanctuary for firearms owners.

This seems perfectly reasonable to me and I can’t see how a state that ignores the law can be upset that a county has ignored a law. I do understand that liberals think they are the only ones who can ignore the law and that laws only apply to the other guy but that is just their senility showing.

If we are forced to accept that it is legal to have a sanctuary city or state for illegal immigrants then we must accept that sanctuary can be granted by any city or state (or county) for any reason.

In Oregon the liberals want to provide sanctuary for illegal aliens in violation of the Constitution and federal law. The counties want to provide sanctuary for firearms owners IN ACCORDANCE with the Constitution. Funny how following the Constitution is alien to liberals. They sure try to use the Constitution when they want to make their case though. Does anyone see the irony of this statement coming from a sanctuary state?

These county ordinances allow sheriffs to ignore this law – which gun advocates see as unconstitutional. KTVZ

The concern of the liberals in Oregon, who obviously do not understand the Constitution or firearms, is that people get hurt with guns. The largest number of people harmed with firearms is those who commit suicide. The linked article makes it clear that suicides account for the largest number of gun related deaths in Oregon.

The state is worried that someone might buy a gun and use it to kill himself. If a person decided to do that then he only harmed one person (physically) and that would be himself. If any person can’t get a gun then another way to commit suicide will be found.

The funny thing is Oregon has a Death with Dignity Act that allows doctor assisted suicide. So if you are terminally ill you can get a doctor to help you off yourself but if you just want to die you can’t shoot yourself. I guess the state does not want you taking money out of the hands of suicide doctors.

In any event, this Oregon case is just another in a long line of hypocrisies liberals are known for. Add the sanctuary for illegals but not gun owners up there with abortion is OK but the death penalty is murder.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Note To Libs: Muskets Were Weapons Of War

Liberal LogicEvery time there is a shooting in this country, that is every time some deranged liberal or Muslim terrorist shoots a bunch of people, there is always a cry to ban guns. The left wants to ban all firearms in this country regardless of what they say.

Make no mistake about that, they want to ban all firearms and all private ownership. They will do it incrementally but their end goal is a complete ban. If you listen to them you can hear them saying it. One only needs to hear them say we need what Australia has to know they want private ownership to end or be so difficult that no one has anything more powerful than a pea shooter.

The issue is not the gun, it is not the background checks, and it is not the availability of guns or the alleged ease with which a person can buy one (this ease all depends on where you live).

[tip]The firearm used was not an AR 15 though anti gun nuts keep calling it that and showing pictures of one when they appeal to the masses. They want control and nothing else.[/tip]
Removing all guns will not end gun violence and the liberal model of Australia shows us that crime will actually rise as all other categories of crime did in that nation. Background checks exist and every time a person who bought a gun legally uses it to harm others liberals scream we need expanded background checks. What do they actually hope to find that government (the entity conducting the checks) does not already have access to? The government has failed in doing background checks when it fails to discover the future motives of people.

Sound ridiculous? That is what government wants you to believe it can accomplish with “expanded” background checks. It wants you to believe that it can tell what a person will do in the future if only we could look a little deeper.

The reality is most of the gun crimes committed are done by people with illegally purchased firearms and legal gun owners account for a small fraction of the murders.

It is also important to note that the government conducted a background check on the Islamic terrorist who shot up the gay night club and said he could own a gun. They said nothing in his background kept him from buying the firearm. If that is true then we just have a case of a person who had not done anything wrong deciding to do so. That happens all the time in our country though the case of legal firearms owners doing so is rare.

When these things happen we get this outcry of people who want more gun control as if restricting those who follow the law will stop those who don’t. It is more convenient to blame a gun than it is to blame the liberal moron, or in this case the Islamic terrorist, who pulled the trigger. Liberals would rather moan about one guy with a gun and claim him as the problem rather than seeing the issue was the 150 people who did not have a gun. Even if half of the club goers were carry permit holders they were banned from having their firearms in the club. Evidently the Muslim terrorist did not follow that law either.

Look, the reality is bad people do bad things and we can’t predict when they will but we can’t infringe on the rights of the law abiding as some feel good measure to make liberal bed-wetters think they are doing good. We also can’t allow liberal (and sadly some alleged conservative) politicians to take away our rights. Doing so will allow them to control us instead of us controlling them.

When they take away your means to resist they will then do as they wish, just ask some old German and Jewish folks about that.

The problem is not the firearm, it is the person using it illegally (and to some extent politicians who refuse to allow law abiding people to carry firearms). We do not ban cars or alcohol because people drink and drive. We don’t say that some person might drink and drive so he can’t own a car or buy alcohol. We don’t do these things even though more people die in alcohol related accidents than are murdered with firearms. In these cases we hold the driver responsible for his actions.

Blaming firearms for the shooting at the night club is like blaming the planes for 9/11.

I am also tired of hearing liberals tell us we don’t need these assault weapons or these weapons of war.

[note]Alan Grayson, a moron politician and wife beater from Florida, claimed that these firearms could shoot 700 rounds a minute. A semi-automatic firearm’s rate of fire depends on how fast the shooter can squeeze the trigger. To shoot 700 rounds a minute the shooter would have to squeeze the trigger almost 12 times a second and that does not include the time to change magazines. Misinformed people are easy to control and government is doing the misinforming because it wants to control people. Though in this case it is likely Grayson, who is unintelligent, does not know.[/note]

First of all, there are no assault weapons. Assault is an action and people commit that action. They use many things to do so but whatever they use is not an assault item.

Second, all firearms can be weapons of war. In fact, the musket was a weapon of war and everyone had a musket. Obviously the Founders made no distinction and neither should we.

The important words are shall not be infringed. There is no qualifier, no sentence about weapons of war or only if you need or only if government says it is ok or anything else. The words are the right of the PEOPLE (all citizens) to keep and bear arms (to have and to carry) shall not be infringed.

Remember, the people telling you that you don’t need these firearms are surrounded and protected by people who have these firearms.

How many more Islamic terror attacks are we going to allow before Obama is held accountable?

The gun is not the problem. Anti-gun politicians, Muslim terrorists and bad people are the issue. But keep pushing for gun control and one day there will be pushback and you will not like it at all.

We will not comply.

Why I Would Not Sign The Petition

There is a petition that is circulating to allow people with concealed carry permits to carry inside the arena during the Republican Convention. The Secret Service has said no guns will be allowed and they have the authority to do that. I do not agree with their authority and think their ability to institute such a ban undermines government.

The people with permits have passed very extensive background checks that involve all sorts of government agencies. People with permits have been vetted better than any politician the secret service protects. By banning the firearms the Secret Service is basically stating that government can’t be trusted.

Perhaps they are onto something…

The Secret Service is like the rest of the government. They are not against guns they are against YOU having them. If you are SS or law enforcement (other government people) then they are fine with you carrying a firearm. Who knows, maybe they are worried they will have to work harder and have less time for booze and hookers…

So by now you are confused. If I feel this way then why would I not sign such a petition?

It is quite simple. While I believe in the absolute right to keep and bear arms, meaning that you can carry them as you see fit (assuming you are a law abiding citizen), I also know that this event is a private event and the event organizers are in charge of the security and what takes place there. They have as much right to disallow guns at their private event as law abiding citizens have to carry those guns. But it is their event and they get to make the rules.

Your neighbor has the right to say you can’t carry your firearm on his property as do private businesses across this nation.

If you do not like the rule then don’t go there. Many people with carry permits will not patronize any establishment that does not allow firearms. That is their right and they are free to do so (and it is a position with which I agree). There are plenty of firearm friendly businesses where people can spend their money.

If the Republicans do not want people carrying firearms then that is their right. If you don’t like it don’t go.

I find it strange that the people who claim to be pro Second Amendment would have a problem with law abiding people carrying firearms and perhaps that says a lot right there.

In any event maybe those who have tickets should just not show up. Sell the tickets at a profit (if that is legal) or keep them to prevent others from attending. That will push the numbers down.

The petition will not have an effect since the SS has the final say no matter what but at least the RNC could come out in support of the idea..

In the long run though, it is a private event and those running it can do as they see fit even if they do sound like the anti gun folks on the left…

Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Assumes He Has The Power

All tyrants do…

It is not hard to figure Barack Obama out. He was a drug using spoiled brat kid raised by Marxists and Communists who has grown into an adult who thinks he knows everything and that what he wants done is best for all. He also thinks that the Constitution and the laws do not apply to him and that he can ignore them as he sees fit.

This is evident in the actions he has taken. I will not list them for you. Suffice it to say any time he has used his pen and his phone or issued some executive action he was usurping his authority.

[note]It is important to note that Executive Orders do not have any weight of law for, and do not apply to, the citizens at large. They are orders for the EXECUTIVE BRANCH of the government and are designed to instruct that branch on what it must do. So when Obama tries to issue an EO telling us we must do this or that keep in mind his orders have no authority over you.[/note]

Obama met with Attorney General Lynch today and he then told reporters he has some actions he will take in the coming days. You know that they will infringe on our rights and be illegal by the way he described it.

He said the actions he is taking are completely within his legal authority. Anytime Obama says that he is trying to convince the dunderheads who support him that what he is doing is legal. IT IS NOT. He said that about a few things and the courts have told him otherwise. Remember, Obama told us he had the legal authority with regard to his immigration plans but a court told him otherwise. Of course that did not stop Obama the Tyrant as he ignored the courts.

He also said that a majority of people agree with him.

This is a lie. Congress took this issue up several times and the members of Congress decided against this based on what constituents were saying. People do not agree with Obama on this mess. People do not agree at all.

But, if that is the standard we now use then why is Obamacare the law? A huge majority of people were opposed to it when Obama and the Democrats were debating it and when they passed it. If Barack Obama actually cared about what the people wanted he would have scrapped Obamacare.

He did not because that is what he wanted. This is the same for his gun control measures. He wants this so he really does not care what the people want. He will tell the world that the majority agrees with him but that is a lie.

Obama lies to get his way and he ignores the Supreme Law of the Land. He bypasses Congress and he does things the way he wants and he really does not care if anyone likes it or if it is legal. It is what his magnificence wants so that is what he will do.

Well Barry, you ignore the law and that is fine with you and your idiot followers. Even Martin O’Malley thinks you did the right thing on this issue and you can’t get more of an idiot following you than O’Malley so let me be clear.

I will not obey any order you impose. I will NOT follow anything you say I have to do. I do not care if you like it because you work for me and I am not obligated to follow unconstitutional laws and since you have no authority to even make law I am certainly not going to follow what your pea brain comes up with.

So go fornicate yourself because we will not comply.
