This was in relationship to a conversation that US Senator Mike Lee had with General Milley about Fort Hood’s slaughter of American soldiers going through the process of readying to deploy overseas when US Army Major Hassan Nidal became an Islamic Jihadist and started firing away with his sidearm killing 13 and wounding 30.  Now I readily admit that I did not serve and only have visited four military bases in my lifetime but after I thought his stance a bit off.  There is a reason why the phrase “when seconds count, the police are minutes away”.

“In terms of carrying privately owned weapons on military bases … that is not authorized, that is a DoD policy and I do not recommend it be changed,” he said. Law enforcement on bases is more than adequate, he said, explaining that during the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, the police responded ‘pretty quick.’

“You take the Ft. Hood incident … those police responded within 8 minutes … so that’s pretty quick, and a lot of people died in the process of that, but that was a very fast evolving event and I am not convinced from what I know that carrying privately owned weapons would’ve stopped that individual,” he said.

“One thing is for sure, this country believes in crime control, not gun control.”

State after State has been announcing either a moving to or passing legislation that brings their State back to more in compliance of “shall not be infringed” of the Second Amendment on the Right of a citizen to keep and bear arms.  Unfortunately, while NH tried to bring itself more into compliance with its own Article 2A (” All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state”) , Democrat Maggie Hassan, like all Progressives, turned up her nose against changing our the racist, discriminatory concealed carry law.  But more and more citizens are voting with their dollars and time at the range:

If the first quarter is any indication of where this election year is going, 2016 should prove to send a strong message to every candidate running their campaign on gun control.  It ain’t happening.

So far, 2016 is on pace to burn past last year’s record of 23 million background checks. The FBI reported an impressive 7,682,141 background checks in the first quarter this year. That’s a 36% increase from the same period last year, when the FBI reported 5,644,866 background checks.

But it’s not just gun sales.

THere is no way that we can keep up with all of the stupidness that is College Campuses today.  We can certainly say that what the Left has wrought on those campuses since the 1960s (and the Frankfurt School and that ilk before that) has come to fruition.  Remember the “Broken Windows” form of policing (i.e., crack down on the petty criminal activity and the major ones start to slow as well) that Rudy Guiliano began in NYC during his term as Republican Mayor to rectify the awefullness that was Democrat Mayor Dinkin’s legacy  that succeeded for the next decade (and which present Progressive NYC Mayor Bill DiBlasio is bound and determined to replicate)?  If college presidents were to apply this to their schools, this scourge of uninformed narcissistic self-loving, self-admiring, self-absorbed, self-obsessed, conceited, self-centered, self-regarding, egotistic, egotistical, egoistic and self-assuring incompetents we generally call students would get stopped dead in its tracks by showing them one small fact of life:

Decisions have consequences – sometimes, negative ones

OSU shows how it is done:

Great News!!!!

Low life dirt ball vote thief Carl Robert Gibson, of Kentucky and Wisconsin, voting from Concord NH, occasionally, is another month closer to his jury trial. His most recent arrest on May 15 last year was for voter suppression here in NH.

Carl will be dropped off or walking to Merrimack Superior Court on Monday, April 11 at 1 pm. I hope he is laughing all the way to this courthouse like he does when he is arrested in other states. The total is eight, so far? Just Google Carl Robert Gibson and his many laughing arrest photos pop up. He is such a jokester.

I was in Concord last week and pulled his file – Carl’s criminal file, that is.

Yes, he’s proving that Socialism is not about shared wealth, it IS about shared misery.  If it were the former, a real workers’ Utopia that Socialists and Communists are always lying bragging about, who would have to wait in a line to get bread.  I am of the generation that saw “citizens” of Socialist governments queuing up in lines in order to buy the necessities of life and we all get to see them yet again in Venezuela where the government has to guard foodstocks because it has so bungled the economy, it is turning the entire country into a man-made disaster.

And Bernie thinks this is OK?

“Vermont’s Democratic socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has sought to separate his views from those of tyrannical socialist regimes throughout history. The problem is that back in the 1980’s Sanders was outspoken in his support of communist dictator Fidel Castro as well as the Soviet-aligned Sandinista government in Nicaragua.

You’d think that Federalism loving voters would get this, if not understand it. Rules (some laws, customs, habits) will and should differ from state to state, including how delegates are elected by state parties and how they are expected to behave. And they do differ!

Jim Geraghty wrote about it, and shared some more thoughts in the Morning Jolt.

A point or two to add to yesterday’s article on the claim Ted Cruz is “stealing” delegates that belong to Donald Trump . . .

Not news to me but I never get tired of other people pointing out the scam.

While electric cars typically emit less CO2, the savings are smaller than most imagine. Over a 150,000 km lifetime, the top-line Tesla S will emit about 13 tonnes of CO2. But the production of its batteries alone will emit 14 tonnes, along with seven more from the rest of its production and eventual decommissioning.

Maybe not a lot of folks – it is from the Concord Monitor after all.  What IS obvious is the plot line, proving what I have been saying for years, that school staff take a dim and condescending view of parents.  And now, in this court case, the Judge makes that legal (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Court: Adviser who helped girl get abortion should keep job

Demetria McKaig helped 15-year-old get judicial approval for abortion

A school guidance counselor who helped a 15-year-old girl get judicial approval for an abortion without telling her parents shouldn’t have lost her job, the state’s highest court ruled Thursday. Demetria McKaig’s contract at Farmington High School was not renewed in April 2013, four months after she blocked her principal from telling the girl’s parents about the pregnancy. A majority of Supreme Court justices said McKaig should be reinstated, but in a dissent, Justice Robert Lynn accused his colleagues of ignoring legal principles because the case involved a hot-button issue.

“Because I cannot join the bandwagon of political correctness that provides the only justification for the majority’s decision, I respectfully dissent,” he wrote.
