Venezuelans were disarmed in 2012.
It is clear that the Socialist Government of Venezuela has been tyrannical (as well as slipshod, cronyistic, and can’t manage a lemonade stand, but that’s Socialism in a nut shell). Now we see it truly is. The Chavez / Maduro regimes disarmed their population years ago. The Progressive Democrats are trying to do so now … Read more
Notable Quote – Dan Moller
Just so, when it comes to political philosophy and what the state should be doing, the issue shouldn’t be our substantive concerns, but rather what kinds of things we should be using threats and violence to compel those around us to do. -Dan Moller (Governing Least) Unfortunately, Moller is right. While it may sound to … Read more
Obey the Founders, Buy Guns and Ammunition!
The NH House Democrats have approved a whole raft of bills that incrementally remove our Second Amendment and Article 2-A Rights from our Constitutions. They lie when they say “common sense” and “responsible” gun control is what they are doing.
Name me one thing Government is good for?!?!?!?!
Yeah, ok. That. In a suit. Sure. That’s what we pay for. And only two out of the four are actually working. Barely. (H/T: Powerline)
Libertarianism is the widely reviled idea that we should use reason and persuasion to accomplish our distributive aims.
Libertarianism is the widely reviled idea that we should use reason and persuasion to accomplish our distributive aims. Only reason and persuasion. According to the libertarian, it is wrong to utilize threats of violence in the form of state-sponsored coercion, however sublimated by bureaucratic routine, in order to redistribute property that we have an antecedent claim to. … Read more
Quick Thought -Let me see if I have this straight…
So where is “infrastructure” enumerated in the US Constitution? In case you are wondering: US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 (Powers of Congress) The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United … Read more
Who ever thought that MSNBC would make the case for the Second Amendment?
And I’m betting that, at the time, the uber-Progressive Democrats with by-lines would be confirming what we Conservatives have been saying for decades – that the Second Amendment was written certainly not for hunting and not just self-defense but in the time when a government becomes tyrannical and totalitarian: And never, EVAH believe the … Read more
Notable Quote -Joel Kotkin
It’s far too early to predict which party will win next year’s election, but not too early to announce the national media as a clear loser in terms of national influence and prestige. Pew reports that millennials have become as negative about major media as older generations, with their rate of approval dropping from 40% … Read more
California’s power company has a WONDERFUL idea of how to stop wildfires!
(Image H/T: Time.com) Especially those that its powerlines start, like those that turned out to kill innocents. To save lives by fire, P&G may cause even more from stopping its product: PG&E’s Radical Plan to Prevent Wildfires: Shut Down the Power Grid. “When dangerously high winds arise this year, the utility says it will black out … Read more
Wait, wait….the Left is complaining about….what?
SHOT: California Has the Nation’s Highest Gas Prices – Democrat Governor Has No Idea Why? CHASER: Isn’t This What The Left Have Wanted? Hi, Dr. Chu and Senator/Secretary Salazar! Let’s start with his Secretary of Energy, Dr Steven Chu. From our friends at the National Taxpayers Union: Somehow we have to figure out how to boost … Read more
“Steven Crowder: ‘My YouTube channel could be gone in ten days”
Given that our Twitter account has been locked since the beginning of April (because I REFUSE to remove Steve’s tweet pointing to this post – New Zealand advances Weapons ban on a vote of 119-1), I can sympathize with / for Steve (aka “Louder with Crowder”). The problem is that I don’t make a living … Read more
Blogline of the Day – really, who knew??
…Kirsten Gillibrand’s fundraising has been so anemic that she may not be able to participate in the party’s presidential debates — unlike Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard, who already have made the cut. It turns out that, at least in a crowded field, being stupid and unprincipled can be a handicap for a Democrat. Who knew? … Read more
Final and Part 6 – Testimony on behalf of HB564 – relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones
This is the last in the series: ********************** Conclusion: I have two last quotes and unfortunately, from your own actions, which I believe, summarizes the NH Democrat Party’s view of the Second Amendment State Senator Mary Ann Carlson (D-VT): “We must be able to arrest people before they commit crimes. By registering guns and knowing … Read more

Continuing on from Part 4 here: Jerry Nadler (D-NY): Setup: former assistant U.S. attorney and self described conservative constitutionalist Andrew McCarthy argued during his testimony: “principal purpose of the Constitution is to limit the power of government to intrude on the liberties and suppress the rights of the American people.” Jerry Nadler (D-NY): make that … Read more
Notable Quote – Tyler Cowan
The danger, of course, is that competition for consumers will be replaced by competition for political pull. There are thousands of instances of companies lobbying for tariffs, price supports, subsidies, and restrictions on their competition, all for their own self-interest and profits of course. When such lobbying is successful, capitalism becomes about sucking up to … Read more
This is amusing in so many different ways. Thank you, Handsy Biden!
This is amusing. What is even more amusing is how rapidly the Bernie-Bros have gone after him. Man, somebody had a library of oppo research on him that ONLY would work in this #MeToo / Socialist era in the Democrat Party. Delaney and Biden, at least to me, seem to be the closest to the … Read more
“The Day, Collusion died”
But will it actually die? Collusion was just the on-ramp – the Dems are already changing their failed Narrative knowing that the media will “conveniently” forget what was the topic du jour for the last two years and roll with the Progressive….well, what ever it turns out to be.
Data Point – US Air is getting better and better
“Economic Growth with Cleaner Air Between 1970 and 2016, the combined emissions of the six common pollutants (PM2.5 and PM10, SO2, NOx, VOCs, CO and Pb) dropped by 73 percent. This progress occurred while the U.S. economy continued to grow, Americans drove more miles and population and energy use increased.” That chart didn’t show up all … Read more
