Once again, Tucker Carlson shows that the Left CAN’T answer a straight forward question: what will happen when you confiscate guns from law abiding citizens?”

So this Georgia lawmaker,  State Rep. Erica Thomas, went on Tucker Carlson in defense right after the first March for Our Lesser Rights Lives rallies and rightfully took the kids to task for not understanding that complex problem do not have simple answers. He had a simple question: what would happen in Georgia if a law she supported went into effect?  That law, supported by Thomas, mandated that Georgia State Police were to go and seize all “assault weapons” (obligatory reminder: there is no such thing as its a made up Progressive political term) and “high” capacity magazines.

She proves, once again, that you cannot trust what politicians say but what they do.  She spends the entire time avoiding Carlson’s rather simple and straightforward question: what would happen and aren’t people going to get killed over this. She would not admit to the “seize” part means mandatory confiscation and would not admit that anything wrong would happen.  She kept sidestepping and could not be honest about what she wanted to do. This Progressive was all set in declaring, without any due process, that law abiding citizens were to be declared criminals with the signing of a piece of paper just like Deerfield, Illinois (here and here) has done with Boulder, Colorado now looking to do the same.

I’m going to apply this rule to Steve Marchand, too; he’s

The NH Legislature’s Latest Protection Racket

Bio Mess EnergyYou’ve seen movies where a couple of Goodfellas in suits show up at a business and the proprietor, looking uncomfortable, hands them a bag of cash. New Hampshire has this too. Some nicely dressed guys (and girls) are using the state legislature to force a business to extract protection money from you. (Again.)

This time around it’s your electric rates (Again?). The Senate passed changes that would turn electricity providers into enforcers for a protection racket that takes money from you to line other people’s pockets.

Earl Metzler’s ED Problem

The Earl of MetzlerDonna Green has an excellent overview of how Timberlane School District Superintendent Earl Metzler has an ED problem. That’s Education-budget Disorder. It seems he can’t keep up with his own hyperbolic fiscal histrionics. Declarations of doom that never come to pass.

Poor Superintendent Metzler.  First, he threatens to close a school.  Fails at that but not before he displaces hundreds of Sandown students and forces staff into crowded conditions.  Then he threatens 81.5 staff.  Fails at that.  Now he’s down to a hollow threat of 50 staff cuts.  You can be sure he’ll fail at that, too.  It’s too bad because the district does need to cut excess staff.  Unfortunately, he isn’t the man for the job.

Martin O’Malley Tells New Hampshire Audience Dems Should Run on Gun Control

baltimore-riot-police-carMartin O’Malley was in New Hampshire last week, and he thinks gun control is a winning issue for Democrats even if it hasn’t worked in Maryland, yet.

“It’s hard to measure prevention,” O’Malley said, before laying the blame for increased homicide rates at the feet of the two Baltimore mayors,  Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake and Catherine Pugh, who were elected after he left the mayor’s office to become governor.

What’s O’Malleys winning formula? Is it the one that has turned Baltimore into the murder capital of the nation?

That Super-Hot Arctic…or Something.

Yes, there is a warming trend, but that’s hard to dispute seeing as we’ve been in an interglacial for a while now. But blaming it on fossil fuels still doesn’t fly given that most of the total change in temperature happened before your daddy bought his first SUV.

It’s April. I just got 1.5 inches of snow. The sign may be right?

I was just remarking that I remember having varsity tennis matches canceled when I was in high school because of snow like this – back in the 70s (yes, I’m getting to be that old).  Back then, the scientists and media were all up in arms that we were headed into global cooling and that … Read more

The Interviews – Week Ending 4-7-2018

Another week’s worth of content compiled into one handy podcast. We start with a rewind episode with Dr. Matt Briggs about Trump’s polling before the election and end with a warning about dealing with the left. Never give up, never surrender, and never ever beg.

The Evolution of Evolution…

If evolution is natural, and evolution is how everything got here from there, why isn’t abortion opposed by secular humanist liberals for interfering with the natural evolutionary process? – Guy at a kitchen table waiting for his coffee to brew.

Criminals for Students for “Safe Schools”

If you have any doubts about whether criminals support efforts by progressives to get students to disarm law-abiding citizens then let me help. Street thugs, muggers, rapists, Gangs, and crime syndicates (including the ones pretending to be from the government), are all for a force monopoly that favors their endeavors. They are all advocates of gun-free … Read more

Deerfield, Illinois Passes Gun Confiscation Ordinance

guns, pistols, rifle, revolvers, and ammunition

c/o Facebook

The Village of Deerfield, Illinois has passed an ordinance requiring owners of so-called “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines to turn them in, destroy them, render inoperable, or remove them from the Village within 60 days or face fines up to $1000 for each offense.

If you do not turn in your illegal contraband or those fines aren’t paid, government enforcers (active duty law enforcement), who are of course exempt from this ban, will be sent to your house with their “assault weapons” to kidnap you and send you to jail, or kill you for resisting.

Data Point – Favorable / Non-Favorable Views on the NRA

Given the full court press by the media / Progressive / anti-gun groups, one would have thought that the NRA would be around the rating of Congress (15%).  I guess the “Narrative” we keep hearing pushed by the Parkland Kiddies (“child killers!”, “murderers” – just like the Lefty hippies screamed at Viet Nam vets as … Read more

Liberal Guide to an AR-15

“You don’t need that” is the Progressive drive to wall you into their world – and disallow your’s. Just like the Kabuki Safety Theater we see in airports (where because of one lout trying to blow up a plane we all have to expose our smelly / holey socks to the world) (emphasis mine, reformatted):

The Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois voted on Monday to ban the possession, sale, and manufacture of assault weapons and large capacity magazines to “increase the public’s sense of safety.” What’s more, CBS Chicago reports, anyone refusing to give up their banned firearm will be fined $1,000 a day until the weapon is handed over or removed from the town’s limits.  The ordinance states, “The possession, manufacture and sale of assault weapons in the Village of Deerfield is not reasonably necessary to protect an individual’s right of self-defense or the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia.”

They show they can’t properly diagram a sentence. They also won’t live / govern by the “shall not infringe” part of the command, either. And they’ve fallen for that fake political term “assault weapon”.

Never Beg

The left can’t just disagree. They seek and exploit any sign of weakness to destroy political opponents. Skip Murphy and I explore the topic by jumping off an article in Taki Mag by David Cole titled, “Memo to Laura Ingraham, Never Beg.” Follow this program on Facebook

At Least We’ll Be Rid of the Kale Smoothies

Kale shakesLast night Skip shared a bit of liberal mythology he tripped over at Tree Hugger which struck me as curious. The perp in chief of that ongoing serial fiction got his jimmies rustled over the width of the sidewalks in New Utopia.  That’s where we’ll all be living. In cities, all happy together. But we can’t get there from here with sidewalks that are not wide enough for at least two kale-smoothie slurping hippies to travel side-by-side. That just won’t do.

My first thought was that, if anything, big, sprawling, urban heat islands with or without kale-smoothie slurping hippies (in any”forward” moving formation) are actually man’s most meaningful contribution to warming any part of the planet and why would an enviro-wacko concerned about the planet want more of that?

GraniteGrok: Conservative? Check! ‘Grok: TEA Party? Check! Bill O’Brien supporters? Check! Mark Hounsell seeking out the ‘Grok as a platform? Hypocrite!

Mark HounsellDuring the Womens’ Defense League of NH‘s annual Gun Rally, Mark Housell ( now FORMER candidate for US Congress in NH’s CD-1) actively sought me out (not hard to miss – ‘Grok hat on, camera in tow) almost as soon as a “late arrived) to have me do an interview.  We tried to do it right then but the volume of the PA system was too loud so he waited until after the event had concluded – which took quite some time.  Then he waited as I interviewed several other people first so it was clear that he craved the publicity this Conservative, TEA Party, Bill O’Brien, multiple AFP award winning site could provide him.  Yet, this is what he told the Laconia Daily Sun as he exited the race (reformatted, emphasis mine:

Hounsell did say that those pushing a liberal agenda are making “blatant and unabashed attempts to buy New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District with out-of-state money,” while the state’s Republican party “is hog-tied by right-wing extremists passing as conservatives.”

Hounsell disagreed with the “big tent” analogy [of NH GOP Forrester’s big tent analogy -Skip]. “The people who are in that big tent are doing all they can to change it from a big tent to a pup tent,” he said, naming Bill O’Brien and Americans for Prosperity. “If you don’t pass their so-called purity test, you’re not really part of it. I don’t fit their definition of what a conservative is; that is, neo-con, Tea [sic] Party.
