It was really nice to attend the Butler County Friends of Youth Shooting Sports annual fundraiser dinner and auction on March 6, 2026, at Receptions of Fairfield. The place was packed with a large crowd of good, normal people—families, shooters, law enforcement folks, and community leaders—all there to support youth programs that teach firearm safety, marksmanship, discipline, and responsibility. I enjoyed every minute of it: the excellent food, the company, the auctions (silent and live, with plenty of guns and gear on offer), raffles, games, and the overall positive energy in the room. Doors opened at 5:30 p.m., and my wife and I stayed for three or four hours, just soaking it in and talking with good people who share the same fundamental values.
What stood out most was meeting so many young people involved in shooting sports. These kids have a brightness in their eyes, a confidence that comes from handling responsibility early. They learn to clean guns properly, shoot straight, hit targets, and manage danger in a controlled, supervised way. That kind of training builds character—it translates to life. You don’t see school shootings or reckless behavior from kids raised like this. Instead, they grow into solid adults who value family, hard work, and living constructively. They buy cars thoughtfully, choose good spouses, raise their own kids right, and pass on those same lessons.
I particularly enjoyed meeting the children of Butler County Treasurer Mike McNamara. He’s stepped into a big role after Nancy Nix (who was outstanding as treasurer and is now doing great as auditor), and he’s really grown on me. When he first took over, I wondered if anyone could fill those shoes as well as Nancy did, but Mike has proven himself capable and committed. More importantly, he’s solidly behind the Second Amendment and shooting sports. His kids were there wearing nice cowboy hats—just like I did back in third, fourth, and fifth grade, and still do today. We got into a fun conversation about it. People always ask why I wear a cowboy hat everywhere, and I tell them it’s my way of declaring I’m aspiring to something different from the mainstream secular world. It’s like wearing a T-shirt or pin that says, “I’m not going along with the crowd.” Those kids had the same spirit—bold, unapologetic, proclaiming traditional values at a young age. Their eyes had that refreshing light; you can see a lot about the parents in how the children carry themselves. Mike and his wife have raised a solid family, and it was heartening to see.
The event reminded me why these gatherings feel so reassuring. In everyday life—at Walmart or out in broader society—you encounter all kinds of people, some bright-eyed and well-raised, others not so much. Maybe they didn’t have good parents or healthy influences. Conservatives tend to be accommodating toward those folks, giving them a fair shake while holding to our own standards. But when you step into a room like this one, filled with hundreds of people dedicated to the Second Amendment, you see what’s possible when values align: large crowds of normal, productive people celebrating youth excellence, law and order, and personal liberty.
Handling firearms responsibly does something profound for a person. It teaches you to manage danger, focus, follow rules, and achieve precision. Those skills carry over. Kids who excel in shooting sports under good supervision become reliable adults. They don’t turn to violence; they build healthy lives. That’s why programs like those supported by Friends of Youth Shooting Sports—through 4-H clubs, local ranges, safety training, and more—are so vital. Every dollar raised stays local, funding equipment, events, and opportunities for Butler County kids.
Prominent people were there, fully embracing these principles. Sheriff Richard K. Jones gave a powerful speech that captured the mood perfectly. He talked about standing firm despite constant lawsuits (he said he has about 20 at any time), threats, and even people following him to the restroom trying to kill him. But he takes it—he has a spine. His office has deported thousands of illegal immigrants from dozens of countries, working with ICE, putting up signs that say “illegal aliens” without apology. He warned about border threats, getaways, potential terrorists already here, and urged everyone to be careful when traveling or at festivals. He credited President Trump for giving folks like him the backbone. The room erupted in chants: “Trump, Trump, Trump,” then “Vance, Vance, Vance” (a nod to potential future leadership), and “USA, USA.” It was electric, patriotic, and unfiltered.
Sheriff Jones has built a culture of law and order in Butler County. His jail got featured on Discovery Channel’s 120 Hours Behind Bars recently—showing productive reforms, even the infamous Warden Burger (which I’ve tried on tours; yeah, it’s as bad as the jokes say). He’s in his sixth term, setting an example others emulate. People like him, Treasurer McNamara, State Senator George Lang (majority whip and a strong supporter of shooting sports), and Sean Maloney (the main organizer from Second Call Defense) make these events what they are.
Sean Maloney has poured his passion into Second Call Defense for years. It’s a network that provides legal and financial help if you use a firearm in self-defense—protecting you from the legal headaches that often follow, even when you’re in the right. Ohio’s laws have improved dramatically over the last decade: better stand-your-ground, concealed carry, and self-defense protections. Groups like his have helped make that happen.
I support Second Call Defense because it’s effective, and events like this one demonstrate the community’s backing for it. We talked about real concerns—off the mainstream media grid—things the popular narrative pushes against: gun ownership as essential to preventing tyranny, whether from kings, Marxism, or overreaching government acting like a parent over adults. A world without self-defense rights leads to administrative intrusions on liberty. That’s not the trajectory humanity should take.
Butler County feels unique. It’s MAGA country through and through—from Tea Party days to Trump’s wins (and I believe the 2020 irregularities were real; free speech in 2024 helped bring sanity back). CNN even came here years ago, interviewing folks at places like Rick’s Tavern near the venue, trying to figure out why we supported Trump despite the scandals and attacks. It’s because we see through power-structure games. Gun ownership is key: a population armed and trained stays free to speak, organize, and resist overreach.
That’s why I’ve stayed in Butler County all these years, despite chances to live or work elsewhere. Sheriff Jones’s speech nailed it—local pride, taking care of our own, standing up. Property values are high; it’s desirable to live here because of safe communities, strong families, and representatives who embody the character: law and order, Second Amendment support, and traditional values.
This wasn’t a bunch of fringe types talking revolution. These are everyday people—government officials, families, business folks—who elect leaders like Jones (popular for decades), McNamara, and Lang. They want this kind of representation. Strip away the social layers, and you see shared beliefs about building a good society: family, individual strength, and no centralized parental government.
Seeing the youth there—the next generation with cowboy hats, bright eyes, no fear—gives hope. I’ve seen that same light in rodeos, Christian groups, Bible studies: confident kids from strong families and support structures. It starts with learning to handle firearms safely and building confidence under adult guidance. That produces people who stick around for decades, keeping the Republican Party strong here and events like this thriving.
The mainstream media slants toward progressive agendas—disarmament, accommodation of brokenness over traditional standards. But we’re not victims. We’ve been polite, giving seats at the table, but we don’t have to accept their direction. Events like this remind me that goodness is worth fighting for.
It was a wonderful evening—good food, great company, encouragement from like-minded people. I appreciated the invite and loved meeting the young people, especially those like McNamara’s kids. Their boldness, the light in their eyes—it’s refreshing. That’s why places like Butler County endure and why these principles matter: family building, strong individuals, defense of liberty through understanding and ownership of firearms. Gun ownership is the key to a successful society of self-rule. And that is the backbone of success in Butler County, Ohio.

If you’ve lived a clean, orderly life—showed up to work, did the math, obeyed the rules, paid the bills—you learn a certain kind of strength: the strength of process. Republicans tend to be good at that kind of thing. They thrive where procedures are clear, contracts are binding, and a judge or a bookkeeper can settle disputes without theatrics. Put them in a courtroom with a well‑pled complaint? They can handle it. Put them at a negotiating table? They can handle that, too. But throw them into chaos—into the screaming, the doxxing, the crowd at a private front door—and many freeze, not because they’re cowards, but because they believe society ought to operate by rules, not by mob. That belief is noble. And it’s exactly why intimidation campaigns target them. The tactic exploits an instinct for order, and it weaponizes the fear that comes when the normal guardrails vanish. That is what we’re living through: a season where leak‑driven outrage, targeted protests at private residences, doxxing, swatting, and the constant electricity of public shaming are used to stop people from speaking, voting, and governing according to conscience.[1][2]
When people ask me—usually over the holidays, when social circles get wider and worlds collide—why they see guns in every room at my house, why there are pistols in the car, why I’m wary at a stoplight, I don’t answer with ideology. I answer with experience. Doxxing is not theoretical. It’s not just some internet spat. It’s real names, real addresses, real phone numbers circulating with an explicit purpose: to frighten opponents into silence.[3][4] It’s organized pressure at the home of a judge, or the spouse of an official, or the family of a journalist. And it’s sometimes followed by swatting—false emergency calls meant to trigger an armed police response—because the goal isn’t debate; it’s compliance or catastrophe.[5][6] There is a reason federal law exists that bars picketing “in or near” a judge’s residence with intent to influence a decision.[7][8][9] There is a reason Congress and the Department of Justice have repeatedly briefed on threats to Supreme Court justices since the Dobbs leak in May 2022 and on the criminal intent behind campaigns to frighten the court before a ruling is issued.[10][11] There is a reason why a man armed with a handgun, tactical knife, pepper spray, zip ties, and other gear was arrested outside Justice Kavanaugh’s home, reportedly intending to kill him over the Dobbs decision.[12] These are not hypotheticals; these are police reports and sworn filings. And if you want to understand the psychology of intimidation, look at patterns: find a leak, publish private data, escalate at the home, and hope a target simply opts out of public life.
If you ask why Republicans are particularly vulnerable to this, it’s because the tactic is engineered to exploit lawful personalities. Conservatives often draw lines around “acceptable conflict”: argue in court, vote at the legislature, publish a rebuttal in the paper. They rarely relish the street theater that Saul Alinsky framed as agitation.[13][14] Alinsky famously opened Rules for Radicals with a sly epigraph acknowledging “the very first radical … who rebelled against the establishment … Lucifer,” a provocation not as theology but as theater—a wink that lampoons establishment decorum and celebrates disruption.[15][16] It’s exactly that form of disruption—contrived conflict—that many order‑minded people find repellent or confusing. Republicans don’t “hide”; they trust the system. They don’t “cower”; they prefer the law. But the radicals who rely on intimidation know those preferences, and they know that broadcasting your address, swamping your phones, and showing up at your home on a Thursday night is not about persuasion. It’s about teaching you that rules won’t protect you, so you’d better stop talking.[17][18]
Let’s be clear about terms. Doxxing refers to publicizing personally identifiable information—home address, phone numbers, family details—often scraped from data brokers, court records, or social media, with malicious intent.[19][20] It has become a mainstream hazard. Surveys suggest roughly 4% of American adults—about 11.7 million people—have been doxxed, and more than half of adults now avoid posting political views online for fear of it.[21] Pew Research found four in ten Americans have experienced online harassment in some form, and severe harassment including threats and stalking has risen sharply; politics is the top reason people believe they were targeted.[22] Doxxing leads to real‑world harm: harassment, stalking, vandalism, job loss, and, in extreme cases, physical danger. The tactic is often paired with swatting, which weaponizes law enforcement response, creating scenarios where someone could easily be injured or killed when police arrive primed for violence at a residence over a fabricated emergency.[23][24] This is why the Department of Homeland Security published multilingual resources for individuals to mitigate doxxing risk—privacy hygiene, takedown requests, documentation, and reporting—because the hazard is not a niche edge case; it’s an everyday vulnerability in a data‑brokered world.[25][26]
If you want case studies, there are plenty. After the Dobbs draft leak in May 2022, groups publicized the home addresses of conservative Supreme Court justices and organized rolling protests outside those residences.[27][28] Virginia and Maryland governors called for enforcement of 18 U.S.C. § 1507, the federal law barring demonstrations aimed at influencing judges in or near their residences, and legal scholars noted the statute is constitutional under the logic of Cox v. Louisiana and related cases distinguishing protests targeted at judicial decision‑making from general public speech.[29][30][31] House Judiciary Republicans pressed the Justice Department for briefings and enforcement, documenting home protests and bounties for real‑time location data of justices.[32] And the armed would‑be assassin at Justice Kavanaugh’s home wasn’t a myth; it was an arrest with detailed evidence of intent.[12] Regardless of partisan preference, anyone with a sense of what judicial independence requires can see the problem. You don’t need to carry a law degree to understand that “mob law is the antithesis of due process,” as the Court wrote decades ago.[30]
Consider the media ecosystem. Whether you support or oppose the content, the controversy surrounding the outing of the “Libs of TikTok” account in 2022 showcased both sides of the doxxing debate: critics accused The Washington Post of doxxing the account operator; defenders framed it as legitimate reporting on a powerful influencer.[33][34][35] The episode itself fueled online pile‑ons, family door‑knocking, Times Square billboards, and more—evidence of how identity exposure now functions as a tactic to mobilize harassment, reputational harm, and, in some cases, physical intimidation.[36][37] Move to protest reporting: conservative journalist Andy Ngo has been repeatedly targeted and physically assaulted covering protests in Portland; while one jury in 2023 found some defendants not liable, other defendants defaulted and were ordered to pay $300,000 for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker documented the injuries and the pattern of targeting.[38][39][40][41] You can disagree with his coverage, his framing, or his politics. That doesn’t change the reality that violence was used—and that the tactic aims not at debate but at deterrence.
Swatting is the sharper edge of this blade. In late 2023 and into 2024, swatting attacks targeted elected officials and public figures across parties—including Christmas Day incidents against Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others—followed by further waves into January, with subsequent federal indictments of foreign nationals for threats and false information.[42] Reporting cataloged hundreds of cases of political violence since January 6, including threats to election workers and public officials, with a rising use of intimidation tactics and fentanyl‑laced mail to offices.[43][44] By 2025, news outlets documented a new spate of swatting directed at conservative media figures and commentators; the FBI publicly acknowledged the trend and said it was investigating.[45][46][47] Some of these accounts are partisan, some editorialized, but the common denominator is not ideology; it’s the escalation of tactics to make people fear speaking or serving. That’s the line we’re crossing repeatedly.
So back to the holiday question: why so many guns, why the defensive posture, why the wariness at a stoplight? The honest answer is that after decades confronting radical intimidation—labor agitation that spills into private threats, targeted campaigns to hurt families, road‑rage entrapments—you stop treating it as a moral fable and you start treating it as risk management. In Ohio, the law recognizes you don’t have to retreat if you’re in a place you have a right to be: Senate Bill 175, effective April 6, 2021, eliminated the duty to retreat and clarified the burden of proof, while Ohio Revised Code § 2901.05 presumes self‑defense when someone unlawfully enters your residence or vehicle.[48][49][50][51] “Stand your ground” is not a license to escalate; it’s a legal recognition that you may use proportional defensive force when you reasonably believe you face imminent serious harm, without first being required to flee.[52][53] The prosecution bears the burden to disprove self‑defense beyond a reasonable doubt when there is evidence supporting the claim.[48] The instruction is precise: don’t start the fight, don’t use unreasonable force, but don’t let a criminal threat define your fate. That’s not bravado; that’s statutory language.
For those who have not endured doxxing in the real world, it might sound dramatic to talk about every room armed, every trip armed, every stoplight scanned. But the reality is that doxxing shrinks the buffer zones people rely on for privacy and safety. If your address is repeatedly published, if strangers show up at your house to shout threats, if camera crews lurk at your driveway, if people try your door handles and peer into windows, those are not expressions of speech; they are acts of intimidation and sometimes of criminal conduct. In Ohio, if someone unlawfully enters your occupied vehicle, the law presumes your defensive force was justified; that presumption exists for a reason—to prevent victims from being second‑guessed into paralysis.[48] And while each fact pattern matters, the principle holds: defensive readiness is not mania; it’s the sober conclusion of years spent dealing with people who believe fear is a legitimate political tool.
Why does the left’s radical edge rely so heavily on tactics like doxxing? Because it collapses distance. It shortens the time from a post to a porch. It transforms speech into confrontation at scale. Alinsky’s theory was that agitation “vents hostilities,” forces institutions to accommodate demands, and conditions targets to yield when noise gets high enough.[54][13] In our digital environment, that agitation is algorithmic and archival; it can mobilize instantly and persist indefinitely. The result is that ordinary civic actors—school board members, judges, election staff, journalists, donors—face targeted campaigns in their private lives, and many are quitting. Princeton’s Bridging Divides Initiative released a dataset capturing hundreds of threats and harassment incidents targeting local officials nationwide since 2022 and found events rising year‑over‑year and dispersed across nearly every state; they warn that civic spaces are being normalized to hostility.[55] West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center reviewed federal charges from 2013–2024 and found threats to public officials nearly doubled, driven by ideologically motivated actors; preliminary 2024 data suggested new record highs.[56] The Center for Strategic and International Studies cataloged domestic terrorism plots against government targets and found a dramatic increase since 2016, including attacks against elected officials motivated by partisan grievance.[57] This isn’t hyperbole; it’s the statistical backdrop to your holiday lunch.
What does a healthy society do with that backdrop? It doesn’t tell targets to hide. It doesn’t say “stop talking and they’ll leave you alone.” It sets standards for lawful protest and enforces them. It distinguishes between petitions to government and pressure campaigns at private residences intended to influence rulings or votes. It enforces statutes like 18 U.S.C. § 1507 when the intent element is satisfied—a narrow law designed to protect the independence of the judiciary.[7][36][39] It recognizes doxxing as a form of technology‑facilitated violence, not merely “speech,” and updates state codes where necessary to criminalize malicious dissemination of personally identifiable information when paired with threats or harassment, while preserving legitimate reporting and accountability journalism.[16][19] It treats swatting as the attempted lethal use of law enforcement and imposes serious penalties—twenty years in some precedents where deaths occurred from false calls; federal investigations and international cooperation are already underway where foreign actors are involved.[24][42] And it trains citizens practically: privacy hygiene, data broker opt outs, situational awareness, contact protocols with local law enforcement, and documentation.[25][26]
Some will say that armed readiness escalates risk. The answer is that readiness isn’t escalation; misuse is. If you carry, train. If you defend, do it within the law: proportionality, imminence, no initial aggression. Study the elements and jury instructions; they exist for a reason.[50][54] Remember that the point is not to “win a fight”; it’s to preserve life and liberty in a society where intimidation is being tested as policy. The rule of law is not reinforced by retreating from public space. It’s reinforced by participating vigorously and refusing to let mobs define the boundaries of speech. When someone says, “Why not just ignore it?” the reply is: because silence is often the objective. They doxx you to make you mute. They swat you to make you fear your own home. They crowd your driveway to make you cave. Every line of statute and case law that protects private residences and recognizes self‑defense exists to keep the conversation going, not to end it.
I don’t romanticize conflict. I prefer production to protest, contracts to chants, negotiation to theatrics. But if you challenge entrenched interests—public‑sector unions, radical activist cells, political patronage networks—some will test you at the edges: at your windows, at your stoplights, at your side doors. Over time you stop taking it personally and start treating it as maintenance. You document. You report. You opt out of data brokers. You invest in lighting, cameras, and training. You meet local officers and share phone numbers. You file complaints when lines are crossed. And you stay engaged. Because in the end, intimidation tactics corrode institutions only if they work. Every time they fail, the tactic loses power. Every time someone doxxes and gets silence in return, they’ll do it again. Every time someone doxxes and gets lawful resistance and prosecutorial consequences, the tactic loses shine.
If you’re reading this as a Republican who dreads confrontation, understand that your discomfort is exactly what the tactic seeks to leverage. You don’t have to become a “street fighter” to push back; you just have to become a disciplined citizen who knows the law, asserts your rights, and refuses to concede your private space to political theater. It’s not about swagger. It’s about keeping civic life normal. Judges should not be pressured at home over pending opinions; we have codes, ethics rules, and legal processes for that.[7][31] Journalists should not be beaten for coverage even if you dislike their editorial line; press freedom norms and assault statutes exist to prevent that.[40][41] Election workers should not receive fentanyl‑laced letters or doxxed phone lists; we have criminal laws for that and should fund the protection of local offices.[44][49] And families should not be forced to choose between speech and safety. The law exists to make that a false choice. Use it.
If you still wonder why someone like me treats doxxing as an “opportunity,” it’s because intimidation reveals intent—and intent clarifies response. When someone shows up at your window with a threat, they’re making a legal mistake. When someone posts your address with a call to harass, they’re making a legal mistake. When someone calls the police with a false emergency to trigger a SWAT response, they’re making a potentially lethal legal mistake. Every one of those mistakes creates a trail, and every trail is a chance to enforce norms. That’s not vigilante justice; that’s the civic feedback loop. And if more people participated in it—opted out of fear, opted into law—the chaos would recede. That’s not naïve. It’s work. But it works.
So to the friends who ask why the car is set up the way it is, why the house looks like a training facility, why the daily routines read like checklists, the answer is that it’s easier to live joyfully when preparedness is a habit. I’d rather shoot recreationally than defensively. I’d rather build than guard. But I’d also rather be alive and free. You don’t have to love conflict to be good at living through it. You just have to refuse to let people who love chaos define the terms of your life. And if more rule‑minded citizens made that refusal loudly and lawfully, our politics would be calmer, not hotter.
In the end, Republicans aren’t “afraid” of conflict. They’re allergic to lawlessness. That’s why intimidation often works—once. And that’s why it stops working when the targets read the statutes, log the evidence, and enforce the boundary between protest and persecution. The radicals will keep trying; agitation is their model. But order is a model, too. The best answer to doxxing isn’t censorship. It’s bright legal lines, practiced citizens, and consequences for people who turn speech into menace. That’s not rhetoric. That’s the operating manual. And it’s written in a language anyone can learn. So don’t be afraid. Use the laws we have to ensure we have a good world to live in.

Here’s the deal, everyone: gun control is not a thing. Restricting people’s access to guns by government controls is never going to be a thing in America. The Bump Stock Ban that was initiated by President Trump during his term, as a bone to the communist left, is an excellent example as the Supreme Court ruled against the banning of the device that simulates automatic fire from semi-automatic weapons, as used in the Las Vegas shooting where innocent concert dwellers were pummeled with gunfire, and many were killed needlessly. Immediately in reaction to the shooting, the communist left was looking for gun control legislation and a rules-based attack on the Second Amendment, and President Trump caved, thinking that if he threw them a bone, they’d be happy and go away. That is how we have ended up with a lot of dumb laws and legal interpretations over the years and how the communist left has sought to undermine our entire society. News flash, we don’t want to be like those crappy European countries, or like Australia, New Zealand, or any country that has lots of gun laws and bans on weapons. It doesn’t surprise me that the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to leave the ban because the Second Amendment isn’t there as a right granted to the public; it’s there to limit the government’s powers over the people. And we know now, more than ever, that the government is far more dangerous than guns in society. Without guns, the government spirals out of control detrimentally, and corruption is soon to follow because they don’t fear the people. The government needs to fear the people they work for. Without guns, there is no respect because the government has all the power. Guns are essential to keep all the human temptations toward sinful behavior regulated not out of respect but out of self-preservation. And that Supreme Court finally gets it, as they are ruling on more issues that are just as logical.
All mass shootings need to be investigated as actions of government involvement. Much like they did with the Kennedy assassination, where they pick a loner with all kinds of crazy thoughts and steer them through various means toward an action they want done, is a common problem. The FBI has a lot to answer to, as does the CIA. They have a lot to explain about the Las Vegas shooter, which they have never bothered with. They can’t be trusted to order a pizza, let alone investigate mass shootings, which they often have their hands all over, hoping to create mass carnage in hopes that people will be scared into voting for more gun control. We have seen ruthlessness of all governments, especially in the United States in recent years, that demonstrates a willingness to kill innocent people to advance political narratives. And when it comes to all mass shootings, most of the time, they are not so spontaneous. A tip-off trail is usually there for all to see, such as the trans shooter in Nashville. But nobody ever stops the event from happening, and immediately after the shooting, we have the communist left demanding more gun control as if we could trust a centralized government that was behind such atrocities, such as COVID-19, for instance, with our very lives. No thanks; we don’t need the government to act like our long-lost parents. Just build highways, have a military, issue our driver’s licenses, and shut the hell up and mind your own business. We don’t want kings and aristocrats ruling over us and deciding what we can and cannot have. And we need guns to make sure the government doesn’t feel like it can get too pushy. Because when they think people don’t have guns, they always, 100% of the time, abuse their power.
And this Bump Stock thing was a Trump deal, and people were still against it. Yes, people still support Trump and will happily vote for him again. But from the beginning, we knew the Supreme Court would rule this way because it’s the only way to rule. Only an activist court not following the Constitution would think otherwise. All these other armpit countries out there in the world would do a lot better if they had a set of laws like we do in the United States, with our Constitution. However, we have a Constitution in America, and the Second Amendment is one of the critical foundations of law that cannot be tampered with. Bump Stocks and much more must be available to a population to keep the government from getting too far over their skis in grabs for power. Just because President Trump supported the ban doesn’t mean people unthinkingly follow some leaders. Trump got it wrong, as he got a lot of things wrong. He was suckered by the communist left, in much the way that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates suckered him over the Covid bioweapon. It wasn’t just January 6th that was an inside job; most public violence is caused by the government, in service to the government, to trick people into giving the government more power. And when those same people suckered Trump, most of the public understood what was happening. That’s why we have a Supreme Court, to provide a backstop to much of this unconstitutional insanity by hostile agents of big government loons seeking problems to advance their social menace.
Philosophically speaking, I don’t think you can have a civil society without a heavily armed public. The Second Amendment was never meant for hunting. It was meant to keep humanity’s greed in check as they moved into government positions and had to stave off the temptations to abuse their power. There has never been an instance in human history where too much power in the hands of government worked out for the people being governed. The United States was never created to be like other countries; it was meant to be unique, so we have always been reluctant to get involved in other people’s wars. We are isolationists because the rest of the world is too stupid to push away their governments and demand their freedom from the tyranny of the corrupt. We’re talking about the same world that killed Socrates for corrupting the youth. Who conspired to kill Julius Caesar by insurrectionists in the senate. And conspirators who killed Jesus Christ just for existing. It’s not an accident that America has the highest GDP in the world; it’s because the government hasn’t been allowed to stop people’s ambitions in life. And you can bet, without the Second Amendment, that America would be like they tried to make it with Covid, a power-hungry government that would seek to micromanage the whole world and get in the way of everything, and attempt to rule through fear wherever possible. An unarmed society would be a victim to government under such conditions, and the only reason we have not yet fallen to such a fate is because we have the Second Amendment. Because there are more guns than people, and the largest army in the world is the private one shared by property ownership by American citizens. So it’s great that the Supreme Court saw the obvious. But that’s just the tip of an iceberg of rulings that must be turned the other way because they were created without the Constitution to limit the government’s powers. And that’s just how it is and will continue to be.
Catherine Herridge is one of the only reporters I still respect from the mainstream news, and there is a lot of talk about a recent statement she made about the upcoming year of 2024 when she indicated that she thought there would be a Black Swan event at some point. I agree with her; there may be several. There are a lot of bad guys in the world that have been dramatically empowered by bad laws, weak politics, globalism, terrorism, and eroded values, and the power and money that have come from these activities are not going to be given up easily. I expect a lot of attempts to unleash violence into our society before power is given back or taken back by force. Whatever the case, the bad guys will not just ride off nicely into the night. That’s why they are bad guys; they do bad things and harm innocent people. So I think 2024 will be unusually difficult, much worse than 2020 when color revolutions were unleashed in the streets with a few phone calls from the rich and famous. Sheer whores who will do anything for a buck took over entire cities in 2020 and nearly burned Washington DC to the ground. The media and political figures responsible for the terrible things that happened in 2020 want you to think about the time that people pushed back on January 6th, hoping to erase from your mind everything you had seen and experienced and that some fantasy of normalcy could come from the Biden administration in those early days of 2021. But no, people didn’t forget, and they are voting for Trump anyway; populist movements everywhere are looking for revenge, using the law first to implement it. But that leaves the bad guys nowhere to go, and you can bet they will try every desperate thing to outrun justice.
One thing that has been on my mind is that I had to scold a few of our local news people from the network news who were trying to stoke riots from downtown Cincinnati to come up into West Chester to harass people outside the I-275 loop. A few did come, but it didn’t go very far. My response was similar to what I’m about to say, and in some cases, I walked people I know through the process of buying guns to defend their homes. These were people who don’t usually think this way but were not about to let a bunch of thugs ransack their homes, rape their women, and make a general mess of things in their community. But you can bet that George Soros and all his friends intended for all that to happen even more. What happened recently in Israel could quickly occur anywhere in the United States; the intention of the bad guys is undoubtedly there, and if they aren’t going to respect our laws and enforcement community, then what choice does anybody have? So I helped a lot of people get their hands on guns “just in case,” and the critical riots from Fox 19 News and Channel 5 fizzled out and moved back down the highway to hang out in Over-The-Rhine. Thankfully, it got close to being messy and never quite evolved into a crisis. But people learned from those events that it was possible and needed to be prepared. That’s why I’m recommending to everyone this time membership to Second Call Defense, which is insurance for gun owners who may need to make that second call after a defensive shooting to keep a very corrupt judicial system from destroying your life in the aftermath, which is one of their strategies against the Second Amendment.
We’ve seen how lawfare has been used against Trump, and before all these recent ostentatious displays of law abuse, it has occurred in many ways in our own hometown. Right now, I can think of how the law has been weaponized against Darbi Boddy, who has a bogus hearing on December 29th. She’s the school board member from Lakota who has so many radical elements trying to destroy her life just because she exists, and they want her in jail. And the local Republican Party has been stoking the fires to make it happen—hazardous stuff. I could say the same of what happened to Roger Reynolds, the former Butler County auditor. I just received a very nice Christmas note from Judge Elderstein, a story where the Butler County judges go after their own in really detrimental ways, and this story involves the prosecutor of Butler County, Michael Gmoser, and many other influential people in Ohio who have been engaged in lawfare against political rivals. These law enforcement types cannot be trusted and they are not the people you want to be dealing with after a defensive shooting. Ohio is a lot better on gun laws, particularly Stand Your Ground and Constitutional Carry as a result of our current government doing really good things to make them happen. I’m a permit holder and probably always will be. And yes, because of my lifestyle, it comes up more than you’d like. I had an incident just a few days ago where everyone made it to Christmas Dinner. But gun altercations are more of a reality in a politically charged society as we have now, where radical elements are empowered to bring harm to innocent people, and those innocent people have no choice but to defend themselves. We want to trust the law to do their jobs, but there are many reasons to understand that trust isn’t on the table.
You will get benefits if you use my name to join Second Call Defense. I know the people involved and I like them a lot. I usually don’t bring up these kinds of memberships, but I would say, especially this coming year of 2024, to protect yourself with Second Call Defense or an insurance program like it. I’m not here to sell you insurance. I have been associated with Second Call Defense for a long time, around ten years now. Over that span, there have been six times when I almost had to make that second call, counting the recent incident from the other day. And believe me, before you pull the trigger on an attacker, it does run through your mind. Because once you do pull that trigger and someone dies as a result, the political hellhounds who want to attack the Second Amendment will be all over you, trying to use that tragedy to destroy your life in every way they can. With Second Call Defense, you let their lawyers handle your case as soon as the police arrive. They’ll help you get your gun back, and they help with bond money and the kind of procedures that a person without representation would find to be a nightmare. You don’t want to become a January 6th prisoner or go through what Darbi Boddy is going through now because the law has targeted you for their acquisition of power. A self-defense shooting is bad enough without having the legal system destroy your entire life for its display of power and political objectives. So, as some friendly advice, I would recommend everyone who carries a firearm, even in a Constitutional Carry way, to join Second Call Defense, even if just for 2024. I hope it’s not the case, but things will likely get very rough in 2024, and you want to be prepared on all fronts. Putting up with detrimental behavior is not an option. But it would be best to protect yourself with more than a gun. Insurance certainly helps, and it will rest your mind in those times when you do have to use a weapon and pull the trigger against someone attacking you. I can’t recommend Second Call Defense more; it may be the most important thing you can do for yourself in 2024. It’s rough out there; access to good legal representation certainly needs to be part of any strategy that deals with the malicious intent of a society gone mad.
The more you look at how bad our current government is, the more we have history to reflect on because it will be rough over the next few years for context. And I must remind everyone why we have the Second Amendment, and for that consideration, the Battle of Wounded Knee serves a lesson we should all reflect on. Government power unchecked often leads to bad results. We certainly have seen some of those bad results in Waco, Ruby Ridge, and one that I think is a topic all its own, the assassination of William Cooper in 2001. I hate to say it, but since COVID-19, I have been expecting a shootout with some tyrannical force in one form or another every day, and that certainly shouldn’t be the case. That tyrannical force might only be an empowered criminal element driven to boldness by Democrat politics. But a government out of control will seek to hide its complicity through sheer power and intimidation. And the Battle of Wounded Knee is one of those times in American history where government power over innocent people evoked disastrous results. And when pressed, such behavior is the standard foundation of all government activity. That is why we never want government to get too big, and that they must always have their power checked with at least, equal and opposite ability. An unarmed population is the foundation of corruption because government types cannot resist the temptation to abuse that power for their own whims and security. The Indians involved in The Battle of Wounded Knee were Americans and had a right to own guns for their own protection. Sitting Bull had been a member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and was working to assimilate into American culture, so his killing was even more of a tragedy that we should all learn from as we prepare for another phase of government failure where desperation will logically drive their actions.
In August 1890 Daniel F. Royer became head of the Pine Ridge Agency; he arrived at his post in October. Many of the Oglala Lakota on his reservation had become passionate Dancers, and he was both displeased with and fearful of their religion. Whereas some federal agents and officials were more tolerant of the practice, Royer was convinced that the Ghost Dancers were militant and threatened to destroy the U.S. government’s decades-long effort to “civilize” the Lakota. When the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) requested a list of Indian “troublemakers” to be slated for relocation, Royer placed influential Dancers at the top of his list and demanded that the military address the matter. In November the U.S. Army arrived on Lakota reservations with the goal of stopping the rise of the Ghost Dance. One source indicates that it was the largest deployment of federal troops since the end of the Civil War in 1865. Sitting Bull lived near the Standing Rock Agency, a powerful Hunkpapa Lakota chief and spiritual leader who had led the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne to victory in 1876 against the U.S. Army at the Little Bighorn. Many of his 250 followers were Dancers, and, though he was not a practitioner, he refused to let the federal government repress them any further. Maj. James McLaughlin, the reservation’s agent, resolved to arrest Sitting Bull for his role in permitting the spread of the religion. Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles commanded U.S. Army forces on the Lakota lands and hoped to take a peaceful approach to removing the Hunkpapa leader from the reservation. McLaughlin chose to undermine that plan, instead dispatching 43 tribal police officers to Sitting Bull’s cabin on December 15. Sitting Bull was compliant, but his followers would not relinquish him without protest. A vicious struggle ensued, and roughly 300 Indians were killed; among the dead was Sitting Bull.
Of course, the Indians had a right to fight against a tyrannical government. The government was abusive and trending in the same direction that many similar personalities are trying to place on Trump supporters today. What has been happening with the January 6th protestors is even worse than the infractions at Wounded Knee. This brings up the question of what you are supposed to do when the government breaks the Constitution and you comply with authority only to be thrown in jail to rot away, against your natural rights. Julian Assange comes to mind. I remember going to the Ecuadorian Embassy in 2018 to see him, and as I was there, I wondered what he could do if the police and military decided to storm the embassy and take him by force, which essentially is what happened shortly after. And should he comply and go peacefully because he has lost any rights to a trial and self-defense? And that was what was intended with Sitting Bull. Once a powerful government finds that you are keeping it from what it wants, it will abuse that power to protect itself. So the debate goes: what role does a person have in peace if the attacker is hell-bent on violence and intimidation? History shows that compliance with such forces ends up in either false imprisonment or death. So why not fight back? To my way of thinking, fighting back is the only correct choice because the government has shown time and time again that it is irrational in its processing of risk assessment. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a historical context or a modern one; the base behavior of government abuse is to cover that abuse with brute force.
For all these reasons and more, the worse that government gets, drunk on its power, the more guns that society must have to take the temptation out of their heads that they can abuse that power. They restrict their behavior to something more logical when they fear a cost to the engagement. In the case of Julian Assange, the embassy was just a block down from the east entrance to Harrod’s, the famous department store, which was constantly crawling with tourists. The fear of a public incident was all that kept them from raiding Julian Assange, and once they peacefully took him, he lost all rights to a defense. And back to Sitting Bull, he was a national celebrity, and he tried to comply with the authorities, but the trigger-happy military was looking for an excuse, so everyone ended up dead as a result anyway. We have to think about these things because the Biden government is dripping with criminal conduct that has too much power. And their only way to keep that power is with force. They aren’t just going to give it back through a “fair election.” So we must think about what might happen. We can hope it doesn’t. I certainly do. But also, we must be ready because, as history has taught us, a government with too much power cannot be trusted, and that’s being nice about it. The only thing that has kept us safe so far has been the Second Amendment, the fear they have of stepping over the line and having power used against them equally. Otherwise, they would, could, and certainly will abuse our rights at every opportunity, and death or imprisonment is OK with them so long as they get to go home at night and live their lives unimpeded. They behave civilly when they, too, must fear losing that security.
I think my wife’s reaction to the attack on Israel is similar to most people. She is such a sweet, loving person, and not some radical ideologue, that her opinion represents the majority. And as we watched the footage of all the poor young women being beaten and raped by the thugs of Palestine, she turned to me and said, “I want to buy more guns.” I asked her how many guns she wanted because we weren’t lacking in that department. For my concealed carry, I always have my .50 caliber Desert Eagle. When people ask me about my leather vests, I always wear them because it’s the only thing I can wear that conceals that gun in public. Additionally, I carry with me at all times a Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum with an extra long barrel to keep the recoil down when firing. Some people think that is too much heat in a civilized country like America, but I have much experience that says otherwise. The default mode for all humans is just above that of a wild animal. The only thing that brings about civility is good laws through a decent religion. Governments have never been able to install a philosophy that protects people from a centralized state. So, the key to a civilized society that ensures destruction from a villainous perpetrator is gun rights. And instinctively, my wife understood that as she watched the carnage from the news coverage and heartbreaking reports. So I told her we could go up to the gun store at the end of our street and buy as many guns as she wanted. I’m always good for a few more guns. They are the best votes you can make in a society that you want to be civil and law-driven.
Israel’s most significant problem that facilitated all this carnage is that they don’t have gun rights for individuals, which opened them up to this attack. They have a good military and generally a decent government, which is a deterrent in most cases. But their lack of personal gun ownership allowed the house-to-house raids in Israel and the Hamas checkpoints, which stopped and slaughtered entire families. I would further add that if not for individual gun rights, there would have already been terrorist raids like we saw in Israel in the United States. I do not doubt that there will be attempts by some radical terrorist cells to bring similar horrors to our communities. That is the intention of the open border policy people. Hamas is just another terrorist weapon that agents of evil in the world can tap into at will to inspire fear and death for political advantage, and this attack in Israel was far from a spontaneous event. It was the result of a culture that built into it the vulnerabilities of a liberal world order on purpose so that mass control of the population through fear would be easy to achieve. I get the ability to travel extensively, and I can report that countries that do not have personal firearm protections and functional religions are ingredients for outright destruction. Without personal protections and military-grade defense of private property, society cascades into chaos quickly. The people of that society are either too compliant to be inventive and economically potent or too dangerous to coexist with other people. Only through the maintenance of private property and a standard of value everyone can share does success in a social regard begin to function correctly.
I could tell many personal stories I have had from my past where carrying such large caliber weapons makes perfect sense, even if it’s not the shared experience of the everyday business person or soccer mom hauling their kids around to sporting events. On more than one occasion, I have learned how dangerous people can be just one carload away at a traffic light, so I keep myself prepared for the worst they can offer. Government rules do not deter villainy; instead, they attract malicious characters like flies on a hot summer in July. The more guns a culture has, the safer that society is. And that would be my recommendation based on a lot of personal experience as a lesson from this attack on Israel. Any government that says it wants to control the private ownership of guns is setting up that culture for personal violence, especially in the United States, where the open border policy in the south has purposefully allowed so many characters with a bad reputation into our country. The same people telling us they want to take our guns are also creating a policy where Hamas-level terrorists are moving into our cities and communities with just as much hostile intention as they attacked Israel during Yom Kippur. Only fools would follow such ridiculous instructions. If they could, they would have attacked already and are always looking for a vulnerability to exploit. Should society always be that close to complete mayhem? Well, that’s up to the people’s values, and religion is a means to regulate society into some mutually agreed sentiment of value. But in an open society with free expression, where governments tend to be corrupt on a good day, people must be able to protect themselves. Because the government won’t, can’t, and is inspired to evil on its own.
So, if you are considering getting a gun, I would say to do so. I would also say to carry one with you all the time. Everywhere. Do not trust the government to protect you. It’s great if they do. But don’t be a sucker and expect it by default. I told my wife she can buy as many guns as she wants. I recommend purchasing a new weapon every month and supporting our gun manufacturers. With more than 300 million guns in America, I want to see more than a billion in private ownership. And the bigger, the better. Criminals break the rules, and there is something to steal wherever there is value. Something to bring harm to. Israel is a country of value in a pit of vipers who live a substandard, collective existence. To adequately protect their people, they should have had private gun ownership for those days when Hamas would attack them and perform such acts of terror as we have just witnessed. It can happen in America, too, and while you can’t remove such intentions from the mind of the malicious, you can stop them once they start shooting and minimize the carnage. To have a free society that protects private property from even the government gangsters, which, even under the best circumstances, they are, you must always carry firearms with you. You must have your house filled with them. And if you want to vote for true prosperity, you can buy lots and lots of guns to let the world know you are more than prepared for anything that might come your way from dangerous personalities. Buying guns is an act of civility and law and order. Without the maintenance of every individual in a culture toward that objective, there is no hope to wrestle away from the villains of a stable society of mutual respect. Only with superior firepower can a society hope to thrive from those despotes of civilization that always want to crawl back into the cave and retreat and stop human progress to fear every approaching thunderstorm that streaks across the sky, unleashed by the gods because somebody forgot to sacrifice a goat.
A very ancient evil was evident on the faces of the Hamas attackers in Israel, and they wanted the world to see it. A lot is going on with that attack, but the key takeaway I think best came from Jack Posobiec when he talked about the quality of actual intel people who should have warned the world that this attack was coming. Jack is a frequent contributor on the WarRoom podcast and has some background in military intelligence, so he should know, and it’s been my experience as well. Intel agents aren’t what we’d like them to be, which are Jason Bourne and James Bond types of characters; all too often, they are hipsters standing around the office in hiking tennis shoes sipping on coffee. What we see in the movies is a myth; it’s what we’d like to aspire to. But reality is a long way from such ambitions. And it’s because of this that the world is such a dangerous place. We invest a lot of money in government to make us feel safe, yet something like this attack on Israel can still happen. So, it has all been an expensive illusion and is a very sobering reminder of why we have a Second Amendment. Those poor people in Israel, where entire families were killed when Hamas decided to make a move of outright terrorism against their sworn enemy, the creation of Israel in the first place, would have been far better off if they had been carrying guns and could have shot back. Because in the end, that’s the only answer to such evil, which is very much a part of the world, especially the dangerous world of liberalism as radical Marxists everywhere have made it. Many evil people were blowing on the fires of that Hamas attack in the background, and the lesson is that the world is not safe, and the government is not there to protect people. Instead, the opposite is the case.
The Biden administration knew this attack was coming, and so did everyone else. That is why the border policy of the Biden people suddenly wanted to build Trump’s wall, a reversal from them that had a lot of people scratching their heads. They know what they have done, and without question, there are many sleeper cells of Hamas and other terrorists operating within the United States, hiding in the density of our cities until they decide to perform a similar attack. The only reason something like that hasn’t happened yet in America is because of the amount of guns that we own. It is significantly more challenging to behave as Hamas did in Israel when the public is as armed as in America. Gun-free zones still have a lot of danger, but the house-to-house raids, the checkpoints where entire families were slaughtered, and the young women raped next to their husbands and parents wouldn’t occur without bullets flying in the other direction. And when you see that blank look on the faces of the Biden people in the American government, and the mindless clinging to sending more money to Israel to show support is their only answer of reassurance, that’s how bad it is. Only gun ownership can protect people from such an audacious attack. And that would be my advice to everyone in the world who can; as the Administrative State continues to fail and the Deep State withers under the pressure of their destructive policies that they can’t hide from the public any longer, the animals of the world, groups like these Hamas terrorists, are going to emerge and do what humans have done for thousands of years when values are removed from their core conduct. And the danger is never far behind.
The Biden and the Obama administrations before them are to blame; they have been paying off terrorists in Iran, supporting the terrorist state with money infusion at every subversive opportunity, including the 6 billion recently that has many people talking. But rather than let the radical Marxist elements hiding behind the Quaran whither away under their weight, these progressive globalist groups have sought to keep Iran alive and well to support state-sponsored terrorism worldwide. So that is why there is a Hamas terror cell, to begin with, and as many of those Palestinian sympathizers said in New York rallies in the wake of this devastation, they see themselves as the resistance to evil and imperial Israel, which they are determined to destroy. I’ve given the history before; Islam was a tactical invention of the Arabs from the last days of the Roman Empire to push back against Christianity in the region. I’ve read the Quaran many times and know it very well, and my opinion of it is not one of divine revelation but of political intent to undermine Roman influence at that time and the Crusades that followed. It was always a creation to hide the old gods of Mesopotamia and Canaan behind a solitary figure and attack the very premise of Western Civilization. So, there isn’t any peace, as many initially supported Israel’s creation through secret societies. The people of the Near East and the East would never allow such a power to emerge, so they would always plot and scheme its destruction. The only thing that keeps them in check is the threat of force, a strong United States supporting Israel, or personal power from gun ownership.
I would say that many of the evil forces captured on video wanted the world to be outraged. But the people committing the acts are too stupid to do much of all this alone. They have a network of influence that empowers them, and when you pay terrorists to be terrorists, as the Biden administration has done, those malicious animals will be inclined to do what they did. But the message to the world is frustrated fear, just as it was with Covid. In election-year politics, the globalists are grabbing for straws now as they see where populism is going. Ukraine hasn’t been working to unite the world behind a cause, which taps into ideas of biblical apocalypse and diverts people from the economic depression that is getting ready to hit the books. Or the antics of the Biden crime family. China’s desire to attack Taiwan while the world is watching the tragedy of the biblical homeland and has their minds occupied by audacity. Everyone needs to know that you are on your own regarding safety and security. The CIA, the FBI, and other intel agencies supposed to keep everyone safe are filled with the wrong people. Not the tough guys of our movies but the social rejects who couldn’t get a real job doing real things. We saw that failure during 9/11 where the CIA and FBI didn’t compare notes, and we ended up with a bunch of panicky politicians throwing money and more government at the problem as if that would solve everything. But it only made the world more dangerous because when you pay terrorists, even with appeasement, you get more terrorism. After all, they see it gets their attention. The guilty parties were always saying peace at all costs when the maniacal evil we could see on the terrorist faces of Hamas was so raw and quickly displayed that it continues unchallenged. Ultimately, the only thing that keeps the world safe, somewhat so, is gun ownership, which everyone should be pushing for, not just in the United States.
And she should be impeached, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico. I have been everywhere in New Mexico, and I can say with certainty most of the people there are not big supporters of her. Her support primarily comes from the colleges around Albuquerque, where Marxism has infected the population in a population center that has given the illusion of a blue state mentality. But that is not the case, and the governor has shown her cards in many ways by jumping offsides on a conservative hard count. She never had the power to create an executive order limiting the Second Amendment in any way over what she says is excessive gun violence involving children. The progressive trend to exploit children for the advancement of attacks on the American Constitution is not new, and it’s certainly what is going on with this latest attack on the Second Amendment. Then, for that same anti-family Democrat party to advance talks of killing kids with abortion almost in the same sentences is perplexing and irrational. But it’s not a surprise, given the state of their party politics. The pressure to stop populism forces governors like Grisham to blink and give away their intentions when they would be better off holding their cards. Democrats can’t afford to because their window on power is closing in on them. Now, because of her outright attack on gun rights in New Mexico, many Republicans are calling for her impeachment, as her executive order limiting concealed carry where public places are concerned was such an overreach and abuse of power that Republicans are perfectly justified in attacking the governor for such outrageous actions. I said it the moment she signed the order: Governor Grisham did not have the authority to act against gun rights. Constitutional laws are “absolute.” They are not subject to government interpretation or any progressive editing, which she had in mind when she signed her ridiculous executive order.
I think it’s great that we are finally having honest conversations about Constitutional law. I have wanted to have these intelligent conversations for the last thirty years, and it’s only now, or really, since COVID came along, and all these big-time Democrats with Marxism clearly on their minds have shown the public what I have been warning about all this time. People used to say, “No, they aren’t that crazy, (Democrats). They aren’t Marxists, communists, and socialists.” Well, yes they are, and they always have been. They know that Marxism will never work in America so long as they can’t use physical force to impose compliance with the government, so they, of course, desire to destroy the American Constitution. They aren’t looking to live within the law; they intend to break it, which Grisham’s Executive Order did. Just as Biden’s Executive Order involving vaccine mandates clearly violated the law. The American Constitution limits the powers of government; it doesn’t grant them. Unlike Communist China, where they criticize all these limits on government power, the goal of Marxism as a philosophy is to have central state control over everything, and the people serve the state. Grisham did as many progressives (Marxists) have been trying to do with their acquired power, abusing it toward the aims of global communism. But they can’t hope to do that unless they can get people to fear authority, and that won’t happen if people are personally armed with gun rights.
The point of the Second Amendment initially, and to this day, is to limit the power of tyrants like Governor Grisham, who want to use government control to impose itself on the rights of individuals. Government power is limited because of the tendency of authority figures to abuse their power throughout history. With the long-established plans of Marxism to take over the world, and especially embedding itself into American culture under many disguises, they see where political sentiment is heading with MAGA and the support for President Trump, especially in New Mexico, so they are making their moves while they still can, while they still have power. But in haste, governors like Grisham have shown ordinary people the game being played, not just speculated about. And the reaction to her executive order is much more rambunctious than such actions have been in the past. The government does not have the right to do what it did with Covid, and that is to suspend Constitutions. That is why the scandal of Covid was so audacious and the political motivations so obvious, even if it’s hard for people to admit to. COVID was about giving the government the power it wanted in the world for global communism. It was not about health management. Otherwise, the government would have made emergency recommendations for Ivermectin upon the Covid outbreak. Instead, they supported censorship. They wanted casualties because it helped them advance their cause toward Marxism. Just as Governor Grisham tried to exploit the death of children to take away gun rights and strike a blow at Constitutional limits to government power, these are scary examples of a government power grab. That is why we have a Constitution as we do, with the Second Amendment and the First to set up boundaries to check that power before it gets out of control. An American society without guns will be a Marxist one, which is their goal, and when that power is abused, the natural reaction should be impeachment from office for the attempt. There must be consequences.
When people like Grisham say, “America is the only place in the world with gun laws that make gun ownership common. Nobody else has them.” Well, I’ve been all over the world, and I can tell you there is no place like America. And why should there be? It is no accident that the freest country on earth has the best economy. And the areas that have the most centralized authority have the worst economies. China is another Marxist con game where American investment has been tricked into believing that communism was the future, so they have moved in that direction, propping up the communist country into what history will quickly recognize as a dramatic failure. Then, of course, why are guns needed? Well, wherever a good economy produces something of value, other people always want to take it, including the government. So, that is why there is a Bill of Rights that protects gun rights. And there is no negotiation on gun rights, none at all. Gun rights are the key if you want an excellent economy, as most people worldwide do. Where there is value, there must be a means to protect the value created. Governor Grisham, like most from her Democrat Party, is attempting to take over the American economy with centralized planning, which will significantly restrict personal freedom and the amount of money such a country can generate regarding GDP. So, people have a right to be upset about it, and more than ever, people are making the direct correlation between gun rights, safety, and economic viability. The more guns and personal freedom, the more money a country can make. And the more capital, the better the society and the options for the people living there. Gun rights are the key to a productive and safe society. Any intrusion on that deserves removal from government office, which Governor Grisham, at the very least, deserves for her vast examples of government overreach.
No, this isn’t how it works, where Republicans live within the rules and are peaceful while Democrats instigate violence and mobs against those they disagree with. There are two primary reasons for the creation of President Trump, which Fox News is still trying to figure out, and that is the fiscal recklessness of both parties in state and federal governments. But much more than that is the position on violence when threats arrive against ordinary people, and there is no representation to meet those threats. A perfect example of this just occurred, where a report on NPR radio obviously provoked trans people to go out and buy guns, which looks to have influenced the latest school shooting in Nashville. NPR could easily have been blamed for stoking the fires of that killing of six people. But then there was a picture released by the Trump campaign of the President holding a baseball bat with the District Attorney of New York in the other picture looking as if it was a threat against the law. Trump said the picture was taken from a “buy American” campaign and didn’t imply violence. But everyone pretty much took it that way because Alvin Bragg has been trying to get a grand jury to essentially indict a ham sandwich and torpedo the Trump run for President in 2024 by abusing the law and weaponizing the legal system for purely political purposes. Personally, if Trump had intended violence, I thought it was appropriate. But the rest of the world was apocalyptic about the picture, especially Brit Hume on Fox News, who said it was inconceivable that Trump could think he could get away with such a threat and still be President. It was funny to watch the reactions of these so-called political pundits. They are clearly off from the sentiment of the rest of the country, which brings up some very interesting topics that need to be understood by the political mood of our country presently.
Trump is not the leader as Brit Hume and the Fox News people want to think the world operates. This anti-Rino trajectory has been going on since before Nixon was President. But the public, in general, never really got over the assassination of Kennedy by CIA involvement, then the same level of involvement and the extreme abuse of the judicial system that removed Nixon from office. Other than Ronald Reagan, who was never quite the same after an attempt on his life failed to kill him, all the rest of the years before and since have essentially been CIA assets influenced by foreign instigators who have insinuated violence against people who do not pick their people for leadership. Most people feel, to some degree or another, that our politics are corrupt, and they have been looking for fighters in their representative government to fight back against it. If it hadn’t been Trump, it would have been someone else. That trajectory has been going on for at least five decades, and those planning the destruction of America through all kinds of influences have not accounted for the real anger of the American people. They assumed that, like a flock of sheep, they would all just go to the slaughterhouse, and that’s clearly not what has been happening. People want to fight against corruption, and denying those types of fighters from being on the political stage was never going to work, just like denying free speech on social media platforms was never going to contain what people actually believed. The belief was that people could be controlled in such a way as people were controlled in China and Europe. But psychologically, those nations accept a level of political suppression that those born within America simply don’t have any expectations of maintaining. People have been patient and hopeful that our government can work if they elect the right people. They have not just gone into passive-aggressive mode as seen in other places around the world without an American Constitution, where corruption is assumed.
Trump is an expert on branding and marketing, which is why he is the current pick of the people. He understands how they feel, which is why he feels it’s appropriate to push back against abusers of authority. That’s also why he was effective on the world stage. The world’s tyrants assume that their opponents will lie down and let them run all over them. There aren’t supposed to be any men left in the world like Trump, so they aren’t prepared to deal with one when they meet one. American voters get what’s going on in the world, even if it’s just superficially. And that is why Trump does what he does and is the leading candidate once again to be President. To answer Brit Hume’s question about how Trump could expect to win over more people to his side by advocating for violence against George Soros-supported district attorneys who have taken over our legal system and weaponized it, it’s very simple. People want to fight, and they expect their representatives to fight back. Obviously, many people like Brit Hume and the Fox News crowd still don’t understand the anger out there. People aren’t going to be destroyed like processed meat at the slaughterhouse. They will do it themselves if they don’t have fighters in their representative government. And Trump understands that market and offers himself as an alternative to violence. Not as a provocateur.
Essentially this current government gets one more election before a powder keg is about to explode in America. Voters are willing to let politicians do political things so long as they have a job, bank account, and home. If those things are threatened, and the advocates of destruction show their teeth, then the American people are poised to punch them in the face and worse. They aren’t going to put up with another rigged election that keeps a foreign asset like Joe Biden in the White House to perpetuate the destruction of our country and threatens those essential needs of Americans. If it is then realized that Americans don’t pick their own representatives in government by the masses, then the separation of belief and facts will spill over into a violent reaction. But it should never be expected that Antifa and leftist thugs helped by a government military are going to go door to door and impose their will on the American people for complete compliance. It didn’t work with mask mandates, and it certainly isn’t going to work on other things. And the political class does not rule over people in America. It represents people. And Trump represents people’s anger toward an out-of-control government. The political class should be grateful for the information. But controlling it, as Brit Hume and the Fox News crowd believes is possible, they are way off. The only satisfactory ending would be a positive outcome from this next election that all sides can believe in. Make sure there are reps available to count the votes and confirm the results, whatever they may be. But if people think they had a rigged election, and they end up with four more years of Joe Biden or some other Deep State asset in the White House, then people are going to be mad, and they’ll want to fight back another way. And that wouldn’t be good. The Deep State is not in charge. People want to rule themselves, and if they don’t have representatives who honor that relationship, then they will turn away from politeness, and things will take a turn away from law and order. But justice will find another way to manifest in a social context.
There is an old Ronald Reagan joke, which I will include with this article, that talks about how ridiculous buying a car in Russia was during the open days of communism. Because of the tight government controls on the means of production, the joke went that it took ten years to get on the waiting list to buy a car. But that a person would have to know whether the car would be ready in the afternoon or morning because the plumber was scheduled in the morning, which might pose a conflict. The essence of the story is that government tampering with the marketplace causes production delays, and no matter where in the world it is tried, communism and socialism slow down production. But wait, what about China, you might say, or Vietnam? They are very productive and are the fastest-growing economies in the world. Well, two things are happening there; first, they are very industrious people, not afraid of hard work in most Asian countries, and they have a lot of people to overwhelm the inefficiency of government bureaucracy. The other thing is that the World Economic Forum has artificially propped up all Asian countries through corporate manipulation, so the money they enjoy and investments they see coming in are a direct result of market tampering by hostile forces hell-bent on taking over the world. So the value of Chinese manufacturing at all levels is smoke and mirrors. Communism is the pick of the Desecrators of Davos investors at the World Economic Forum because they like it, and banks like centralized control. So despite the realities of President Reagan’s jokes about Russia, there has been a global push to outspend reality and force the world into communism anyway.
And there is a reason those same forces felt they had to steal the American election, just as they did the one obviously in Brazil. The world is on fire, and there are protests everywhere, Paris, London, Mexico, and just about anywhere that large populations are struggling to reclaim their capitalism from global commitments from finance into socialism and outright communism. And Joe Biden represents the Democrat’s deep desire to install Chinese communism in America and to rot away Americans’ expectations about production and market value. Now we are seeing the effects of this Democrat Party push for Chinese-style communism everywhere, whether we are talking about baby formula, gas prices, or the latest crisis, the price of eggs. Something many of us take for granted, eggs, which are easy to get in large numbers in America, are now rising in price to dangerous levels because the Biden administration policies have tampered with the market to such an extent that they have interrupted production and delivery which can’t keep up with demand. But for me, this is a much more serious issue going much further than the price of eggs. I see the destruction of the Biden administration differently every time I go to Cabela’s to buy ammunition. I have had through Covid thousands of rounds of ammunition for my .50 A.E. Desert Eagle, which is my carry gun, and it has taken me a while to burn through them. It hasn’t been an issue in a few years, but I used to be able to go to Cabela’s in West Chester, Ohio, and buy all the .50 A.E. ammunition I could want. It was just as easy to buy .500 Magnum S&W ammunition, my other carry gun I take with me everywhere I go. But on this particular day, I couldn’t find them, so I asked the store clerk if they had any, and he just laughed as if what I had said was the funniest thing in the world. “I haven’t seen any of that kind of ammunition in over three years,” he said as if me asking for it was the most absurd thing in the world.
Now, I can make all aspects of ammunition on my own. I don’t need an ammunition manufacturer to do it for me. Most of the time, ordering all the components, I can assemble my own ammunition by reloading at my home. But I could just as well do it in the middle of the woods with no power grid. The government has obviously done what it can’t do with gun laws; tamper with the supply of ammunition by making it hard for manufacturers to produce it, and they have tampered with the supply chain. The result is that Cabela’s, which is one of their core competencies, has had a hard time getting any ammunition. For a long time during Covid, they struggled to get some of the most common ammunition in the world, 9MM. As I looked at the shelves, I thought they had managed to get most ammunition from .22 through .45 caliber, and equally rifle ammunition as well. But the really big stuff, the exotic stuff I like to use, has dropped off the radar and is likely interrupted forever. You could tell by the way the clerk talked that he had already accepted the limits of global communism and had made himself a victim to those lowered expectations. Whereas, under President Trump, during the year of 2019, the year before Covid, I would have asked for .50 A.E. ammunition, and he would have proudly said something like, “right over, there are six boxes of 20. And if you want, you can get a free hamburger and a 2-litter of Coke for free if you buy five boxes today.” Excesses are expected in American culture, which makes things cheaper.
But for the global market tampering schemes of communists, they want what is happening at Cabela’s. They can’t pass laws to get rid of gun rights, but they can make it hard for people to get ammunition to use. So they have attacked that sector of the economy for personal activism. I’ll still shoot my guns, but they have made it harder and much more expensive to get, and the efforts have been on purpose, clearly. It’s part of the overall communist philosophy of why the Biden administration was put in place, to begin with. Unlike the store clerk at Cabela’s, I don’t accept these ridiculous restrictions that have been artificially imposed on us by out-of-control, stupid government and their tampering desires. I expect to live in a country where I can buy a chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A and stop by Cabela’s, which is right next door, and buy up several boxes of .50 caliber pistol ammunition all in about 10 minutes so I can get back to doing other things in my life rather than looking for ammunition. The real reason that communist countries have less productivity is that people waste time waiting on the government to do things, and that gives them less free time for personal pleasures. I don’t waste time in my life, so it is quite insulting to waste time looking for things like ammunition that should be easy and quick to get. It’s bad enough when these market restrictions start to emerge with common items like eggs. But you can best see the effects of globalism and the Biden administration’s communist philosophy on luxury items, which are always the first targets of attack by overly centralized governments. When the store clerk laughs at the assumption that we live in such a competent world that .50 caliber ammunition would just be sitting on the shelf, you know you have a big problem on the supply side of an economy. And it was made worse by government not by accident but by purposeful activism that is part of a global strategy. And it’s far worse than many people realize.
