Tomorrow there is a pro Iran treaty gathering in Milford, New Hampshire. Milford is a plucky berg, way down on the list of likely targets when the people who have sworn to destroy us get the means for their motivation. So what a great place to gather to prevent WAR!

This is it. After months of debate, Congress is set to vote for either diplomacy or war with Iran.

I get it. You are using the moral equivalent of war argument to organize without the moral part, just the war. How does that work exactly? If Obama doesn’t get his way get congress to sign off on his Iran deal he’s going to declare war on Iran? That would be the war equivalent of war, if I’m not mistaken.

The word on the New Hampshire ‘street’ is that a core faction of Rand Paul supporters will boycott the 603 Alliance GPS Caucus on October 17th.

Why?

A narrative  has been worked out. Things they tell each other until convinced it is the truth, no matter how impossible or improbable.

The current Law:

1. A legal FFL (e.g. gun shop) must have all buyers fill out a Form 4473 which asks if that person is legally able to purchase the firearm. If a purchaser marks that they are a prohibited person, the FFL is not to sell the firearm under Federal Penalty of REALLY REALLY bad outcomes.
2. A legal FFL must also put the buyer through the Federal NICS system which is supposed to tell the seller if the purchaser is ineligible to do so.  Yes, consider “screwed” to the FFL to continue the sal.
3. A private seller, under Federal penalty, cannot sell to someone that they know is ineligible to legally posses a firearm – up to 10 years in the klink if you do so.

So, what does Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) do?  In the light of the recent murder of Gov. Cuomo (D-NY)’s lawyer at a NYC festival, he decides to create a bill that:

• Makes it illegal for an FFL to knowingly sell a firearm to a prohibited person
• Make it illegal for a private citizen to sell a firearm to a prohibited person

Yes, you read that right. Obviously, this esteemed lawMAKER of ours:

Heh!

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home [not shown]. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel. By Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered “mentally unstable.”

• In Arizona, he’d be called “an avid gun collector.”
• In Arkansas, he’d be called “a novice gun collector.”
• In Utah, he’d be called “moderately well prepared,” but they’d probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.”

From Gateway Pundit:

Hundreds of North African immigrants clashed with police in Bresso, near Milan, Italy last week. The immigrants were upset about their living conditions and the failure of authorities to issue residence permits. Immigrants in Veneto refused to eat the pasta provided by local officials. They wanted to be fed food from their home countries. They [sic] immigrants then slashed the staff workers’ tires.

Just a “thank you for your assistance”, eh? Sounds just like some of the illegal immigrants here in the US – they come unasked, get upset when they are not serviced according to THEIR standards (as opposed to what the country that is being invaded can do).  It is that “to be fed food from their home countries” as opposed to the native foods of their host country (and here, DEMAND citizenship to which they are not entitled – they don’t want to EARN it, just have it given to them…something about a Right or somesuch).

Press release on the jump.

Max Ledoux | GrokWatch News Desk

I’ve been trying to get Maggie Hassan’s office to say whether or not she’s seen undercover videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress. The videos—both the edited versions and the full, unedited footage—have been available online since mid-July. They show top-level Planned Parenthood doctors and administrators haggling over the price of baby parts. The most recent videos reveal that Planned Parenthood delivers intact baby cadavers to StemExpress, a research company. In one video, a former StemExpress employee describes witnessing a baby born alive, then vivisected. I believe this is a topic that is of interest to many New Hampshire citizens.

At the Marco Rubio campaign event at the Cheshire Historical Society in Keene today, there was standing room only for attendees to hear the Senator’s campaign pitch. He began his speech with mild disapproval of the Republican establishment being the party of, “change around the margins”, meaning that for the Republicans currently in power, big changes were not really the goal; only small tweaks to the status quo were on order. I liked where he was going with that sentiment—that, as President, he would bring actual change to Washington instead of just small corrections. We need that.

That’s what flashed through my head when I read this in Kimberly’s post on Jeanne Shaheen’s endorsing Hillary “Bathroom Server” Clinton (Bathroom Server – sorta gives “wiping clean” a whole new meaning):

Shaheen started out the speech by declaring “This is pink power!”

Pink, red – every color to me gets translated to primary one and bright primary Red historically didn’t stand for American Exceptionalism (one of the great Alinskyite tricks of all time by forcing “red” to be Republican).  Red ha stood for and has been the primary color in every Communist flag since Marx.  Too bad our young’uns don’t get that (heck, I bet they don’t even know which President brought the Berlin Wall down, signifying end of the Soviet hegemony).

The news came out today that President Obama did a partial end run (AHgain!) around Congress by issuing yet another Executive Order – and yet again poking Government’s nose, not under but through the tent wall of the private sector.  In this case, telling Federal contractors that they WILL be paying employees for paid sick leave.  Of course, the hit was on the GOP was on not getting on board with this yet another fascist / socialist trend of Government controlling private companies.  This struck me from our Labor Secretary in praising the Order and taunting the GOP:

“There are certain Republicans that said we can’t afford to do this,” said Labor Secretary Thomas Perez. He lamented how paid leave is seen as a partisan issue in the U.S. despite broad support in Europe. “The Republican Party is out of step with similar conservative governments around the world,” he said.

Ah yes, one of the “tells” from a Progressive / Socialist – bemoaning the fact that we aren’t Europe and that

Under the rubric of “if you can destroy a thing, you control that thing” this from Doug Ross at Director Blue:

Obama Labor Dept. Sets Stage for Nationalizing Retirement Accounts

In 2013, in a little-heralded case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected the Obama Labor Department’s attempt to punish voluntary retirement plan service providers. The DOL, under the direction of the controversial, radical leftist Tom Perez, had tried to force providers of 401(k), 403(b), IRA, and related services to adopt a massive new set of regulations known as “fiduciary” responsibilities. The Seventh Circuit slammed the door shut on Labor and the Supreme Court thereafter declined to hear the appeal, which meant that the Obama administration had lost in the highest court in the land.

So, did the Obama Administration go “oh, OK”?  Yeah, like a snake-oil salesman:

That from ‘Grok friend Jim Hoft.  I would think that the Establishment Republicans would be ecstatic over that stat given all of the verbiage they have spilled the last few years on “reaching out to the minority communities”.  So, what should one be thinking when we hear that but ALSO now hearing that those same folks are trying to strategize on how to railroad Trump out of the race?  Again, I point this out not to bolster Trump but to point out the absolute hypocriticalness of the entrenched Central Command whose strategy of flooding the zone with folks to get their candidate elected (Jeb Bush whose seemingly failing ways are seeing a shift to Kasich?) along with the Papa Smurf Sununu rigged rules for the convention and nomination was supposed to “fix” the result.  And then along came Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina and a handful of “outside the beltway” Rs to, as I have said from time to time, throw “sand into the gearworks”.

Jim’s analysis?
