Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.

No, you can’t substitute God for Allah, Mr. President

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” – Barack Hussein Obama, P 261 -“Audacity of Hope.”

Obama sees no Islamic TerrorAndOMITTED

“‘…The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander The Prophet Of Islam”.

So the US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said they were going to put out “partial” transcripts of the calls that the Orlando Muslim Jihadist made to 911 – but only partial so as not to further his propaganda (paraphrased).  Well, bless her heart, of course we knew what was coming because she said something BEFORE she mentioned the transcripts – and it all came down to what she called him on Meet The Press ( transcript via RedState). I told TMEW that the terminology switcheroo would not stand even if the fix was in:

LORETTA LYNCH: Yes, I’ll be going to Orlando on Tuesday to continue my briefings in the case. Actually though what we are announcing tomorrow is that the F.B.I. is releasing a partial transcript of the killer’s calls with law enforcement from inside the club. These are the calls with the Orlando P.D. negotiating team who were trying to ascertain who he was, where he was, and why he was doing this, all the while the rescue operations were continuing. That’ll be coming out tomorrow and I’ll be headed to Orlando on Tuesday.

No, the Orlando Muslim Jihadist was not a “killer” – he was a Muslim terrorist.  But hey, Obama is the self-acknowledged smartest person in ANY room and certainly he knows for sure what is both solid Islam (“they aren’t Muslim and that’s not Islam”)  and Christian heterodoxy (“I know better what  the Little Sisters of the Poor’s religious beliefs are than they do – the HHS contraceptive mandate”).  But hey,

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen: yet again DC Republicans wilt when contemplating hard political decisions –

Targeting Conservative and TEA Party style groups were stonewalled, derailed and otherwise afflicted by a politically weaponized Department of Internal Revenue led by the actions of Lois Lerner (who had done similar things while at the Federal Election Commission).  Up to 426 different groups filed up for tax exempt status and were spit on by US Government bureaucrats simply because these group dissented from the President’s Progressive values – ones that these bureaucrats heartily agreed with and supported. Koskinen was not at the helm when this started but was when hard disks started to mysteriously crash left and right far above what regular MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) stats would posit and mag tapes started to lose their magnetic bits’ magnetic orientation (“erasing the tapes”). That is against the law and was done over and over and the IRS lied repeatedly.  If you are the head of those that do this, you should take responsibility.  Not to mention the snark and contempt he held both us (the general public) and those elected to oversee his department (both House and Senate) during hearings.  He lied.

So what are the Big Campaign Speech’ d DC Republicans going to do?  Are they going to impeach him?

Seriously, you said yes?   HAHAHAHAHAHA – fools, we’re talking about the Republican Party which seemingly can’t outbox a pre-schooler lately…

The purpose of the Dems and the Media is to continue to destroy the Constitution

constitutionLet’s start with this:

Kerrie Diers (Exec. Dir. of the Nashua (New Hampshire) Regional Planning Commission) doesn’t care much that your land gets in the way of her planning (for your own good as in “WHY do our perceptions of the needs of the Collective have to give way to what Individuals own?”):

  • “Private Property Rights get in the way of good planning“
  • “Private Property Rights won’t let us have the discussions“

In other words, YOUR Rights are getting in the way of THEIR agenda – they cannot let that happen.

UBI => Universal Basic Income, whereby Government just gives everyone, children and adults, some sum of money every year (e.g., $10,000) A UBI would pose severe practical challenges, which will be discussed later in this article. But even if it could work, it should be rejected on principle. A UBI would redefine the relationship between … Read more

I like the mindset of Texans…

I agree. WE are our own First Responders and we should not outsource our own safety and security to hired help (even as good and fearless as they are, running to the sound of gun shots) – that is what the Second Amendment is about (albeit, in part).  Bataclan, the Chechen school a few years back, San Bernadino, and now Orlando (among others).  Each and every time, a gun free zone.

Orlando’s Islamic Jihad attack: Trump, Hillary, Obama

Who said it?

“We express our deepest sympathies to the victims, the wounded, and their families. We mourn, as one people, for our nation’s loss – and pledge our support to any and all who need it. I would like to ask now that we all observe a moment of silence for the victims of the attack.”

Once again, we see the MSM getting it wrong

sig-sauer-mcxAll we’ve heard from the MSM (and most of them wouldn’t know which end to point down range) is AR-15! AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!AR-15!

Ad nauseum.    They’re all wrong.   From Bearing Arms:

The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was not an AR-15.

It seems the moment we automate some given process with labor-saving devices, we identify some new problem, unresolved issue, or unmet need, and the scarce labor resources that had been employed in the now automated line of work are eventually shifted over to the new problem to address the continued and ongoing struggle against scarcity … Read more

Hillary Clinton – pander much to small businesses? Oh wait!

Hillary Clinton – which is it? Shot: I want to be sure that we get small businesses starting and growing in America again. We have stalled out.  I was very surprised to see that when I began to dig into it…it turns out that we’re not producing as many small businesses as we used to … Read more

Email Doodlings – Orlando and Islamic Jihad

As regular readers may have noticed, my rate of posting has plummeted over the last month or so and when I have been able to, the post is rather short or just pointing out what someone else has said.  Perhaps there will come a time to explain but given what happened this morning in Orlando, I thought I’d share this quick thought / email I wrote in our Grokster email group on the Islamic Terrorism that a known wolf (FBI tracked) carried out:

Subject: Mystery shooter in Orlando has suicide vest, belongs to which religion?

I have been painting upstairs [grandson’s nursery] so I have been listening to the [Sunday] talking head shows and they’ve all mentioned it. Meet The Press, however, almost went wall to wall with it. You have no idea, with that coven of corrupt Collectivists on their panel, how many times I had to restrain myself from throwing the paint buckets at the TV.

The worst part was when they all, even the so called RINOs (e.g., I don’t think they even rise to the low bar of being RINOs) were all talking about “we haven’t had the conversation about guns” since 9/11.

What planet are these people from – that “conversation” has

Blogline of the Day – Obama’s “proper perspective”

I wonder if late at night, Obama says something along the lines of, “See Michelle, I told you that Americans can ‘absorb’ another terrorist attack, and Fort Hood, Boston, Garland, Chattanooga, and San Bernardino just keep proving me right.” And now Orlando. (H/T: Instapundit)

Tit for Tat – the Right ought to be doing more of this

If you get to blame our gun control policy for putting the weapon into Omar Mateen’s hands, then I get to blame our immigration policy for putting Muslim terrorists inside our borders. See how that works? (H/T: Instapundit)

Notable Quote – Gerard Casey

The trouble with centralism is not just that it fails to solve all our problems but that, apart from creating the illusion that all problems are soluble (and often imposing astonishingly high costs on its alleged beneficiaries), it either hampers or crowds out private-governance strategies that actually do work. -Gerard Casey (University College Dublin) (H/T: … Read more

Notable Quote – Henry Hazlitt

This vital consideration of incentives is almost systematically overlooked in the proposals of agitators for more and bigger government welfare schemes. We should all rightly be concerned with the plight of the poor and unfortunate. But the hard two-part question that any plan for relieving poverty must answer is: How can we mitigate the penalties … Read more

Notable Quote – David Solway

Nothing is too big to fail, including civilizations, and ours is no exception. The decline of the West is historically inevitable, subject to the universal principle of entropy that functions on every plane of natural existence, including the cultural. The agencies by which it works on this level are readily isolated: the endemic vices and … Read more

Good question!

Shot:

BuzzFeed cancels $1.3 million ad buy by RNC because Trump is “hazardous to our health.”

Chaser:

“If BuzzFeed has the right to refuse business because a potential customer supports a policy that offends their conscience, why don’t Christian bakers who are being asked to cater a gay wedding have the same right?”

Obviously we’re homophobic and racist for noting that BuzzFeed is being discriminatory but the Left doesn’t
