If your family “suffered under communism” that says a lot more about your family than it does about communism. Good people don’t suffer under communism – slavers and exploiters do.

It’s nice to have it confirmed. It is a shame the people in the FBI who inflicted that damage upon our country can’t be made to pay reparations. When assessing the fines be sure to include the sale of their donatable organs to the highest bidders.

Democrats and advocates seeking to address gun violence argue that owning a gun does not make your home safer, a case for false advertising, and that marketing offensive “tactical operations” with military-grade weapons constitutes unlawful use of the product.
They will never give up, will they? First the Second Amendment and now the First.
Perhaps they should demonstrate the truth of their claim by disarming the police for a few years and see what their safety record looks like before and after the disarming.
Another suggestion is that they put Gun Free Zone signs up around their property and stickers on their vehicles
As long as they don’t self identify as unarmed I consider people who don’t own guns as freeloaders on those that do arm themselves.
What’s important to us is addressing mental health, gun control reform, addressing misinformation, disinformation and malinformation. We want policy makers to focus on common sense solutions so we don’t see this type of violence in our communities. And we want to see the implementation of policies that reduce violence.

“Facts First” is the tagline of a CNN branding campaign which contends that “once facts are established, opinions can be formed.” The problem is that while it sounds logical, this appealing assertion is a fallacy not supported by research.
Cognitive psychology and neuroscience studies have found that the exact opposite is often true when it comes to politics: People form opinions based on emotions, such as fear, contempt and anger, rather than relying on facts. New facts often do not change people’s minds.

If those people predators are locked up then it doesn’t matter how many guns are “out there”.

Thursday, a typical day based on police reports and aid calls, there was one “drug-related casualty” down the block and a dozen other calls for either narcotics or “behavioral/emotional crisis.”
That same day, while I was there, a man collapsed face-first on the sidewalk around the corner from the now-shuttered Amazon Go. When I asked his mates if they needed me to call 911, they daubed the back of his neck with a wet T-shirt and said, “No, no, he’ll pop out of it.”
He did. Later, though, I saw him shouting and bashing a wooden pole against a Pike Street building front.
Police have been trying to crack down. One day a week ago they busted eight people here for selling fentanyl and meth. The futility was acknowledged right in the news release: The cops said they ran down a 16-year-old who was selling fentanyl and had a gun, only to realize they’d just arrested the same teenager, pushing fentanyl with a different gun, at the same Third and Pike corner a few weeks earlier.

Two months ago, Jordan said that six FBI whistleblowers approached the committee. Two came forward about a memo related to alleged violence and intimidation at school board meetings and four in connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. In the Senate, meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in July that whistleblowers had come to his office to provide information, including disclosures relating to investigations into Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings.
“It’s becoming a well-worn trail of agents who say this has got to stop, and thank goodness for them and that American people recognize it, and I believe they’re going to make a big change on Nov. 8,” Jordan said, referring to the midterm elections.
In June, Jordan sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray warning that several former FBI officials were coming forward, while alleging the agency is “purging” employees who have conservative views.
“In one such example, the FBI targeted and suspended the security clearance of a retired war servicemember who had disclosed personal views that the FBI was not being entirely forthcoming about the events of January 6,” Jordan wrote in a statement. “The FBI questioned the whistleblower’s allegiance to the United States.

You are not in high school debate club anymore. You are a peasant in feudal Japan, and every day the Samurai get to denigrate, abuse, and rough up your kind as much as they want. But if you ever talk back to a samurai, let alone try to do a little roughing up of your own, you will be beheaded on the spot. And far from being punished for this, the samurai who does it will be praised for doing his duty, since uppity peasants are dangerous and immoral and need to be dealt with at once, before they threaten the established social hierarchy. That samurai is just protecting democracy the Shogunate. Pointing out the hierarchy of the social order as a peasant will be met only with a nod of approval: “yes, that is how it is, it’s good that now you finally understand.”

[This hints at the latest misunderstanding between the peons of the evil party and the stupid party. Both sides are running on high emotions and yelling at the other side.
One side is rejoicing that President Trump had his personal residence searched by the FBI and mocks the peons on the other side when they say things such as, “If it can happen to Trump it can happen to you!” And they get a response of, “Well, of course if you commit a crime and law enforcement presents sufficient evidence to a judge, they will sign off on a search warrant. It’s called ‘due process’, DUH!”
Apparently the Trump supporters have all the false accusations and manufactured evidence instances hard wired into their psyches and no longer think any reference need to be made. The Trump haters apparently never got the memos that all those years of claims of “Trump is going to prison any day now!” were just wet-dreams and not reality.
I would like to believe, but I’m a hopeless optimistic, some of the high emotions and agitation would dissipate if people would patiently explain the reality as they see it while the other side patiently listened. Then they might attempt to resolve their differences with reason and examination of the evidence rather than by yelling louder.—Joe]
This is from the most recent annual report of the electrical utility cooperative in north central Idaho:
Boomershoot is located in Clearwater county. There was nearly a 30% increase in cooperative members in just one year. People are leaving the blue states and moving to Idaho. I have posted about this before. But I did not know any county by county numbers.

Time’s editors showed in July 1994 that they believed their job was not to uncover the truth but to provide political cover to Democrats in Washington. It’s only gotten worse since then, but I believe this incident formally marks the end of the “mainstream media” as we once knew it. Like many other countries in Europe and elsewhere, we now have a politicized media in the United States. But unlike other countries, in all but a few cases our media refuses to acknowledge its ideological affiliation. So added to bias, you have hypocrisy.

In order to obtain the permit, an applicant would have to show up with a firearm to demonstrate the ability to load, fire, unload, and store the firearm.
