Good afternoon.

The call should be to mount up but I will probably pass before that call for assembled action happens.

Understood. I'm pass the point of humping ammo, but not pass the point of dying for my country. [Which I already survived once, but oaths are for every]

There are no more excuses for them.

The only argument that can be supported is that it is ALL INTENTIONAL.

It's the wholesale robbery of the American taxpayer and we're witnessing it live.

I am approaching 65 but I can still hump enough ammo to actively put lead on a target. I’m more than willing, if necessary, to keep the oath I swore to over my career. My oath and obligation to the Constitution did not end when I retired from the military; it is a lifetime commitment.

If congress did not appropriate the funds, then the spending was illegal.

In the famous words of Sonny Bono, "Illegal, that's against the law isn't?"

America is in much deeper trouble than anyone realizes.

A few of us here realize exactly what has happened to our Republic, buy not nearly enough.

My mother went to Cabelas this morning looking for .22 cartridges for my boys. They shoot 1000-1500 rim fire per week during practice so it takes all we can find to keep them going.

They didn’t get any today but she called to ask if we needed any .223/5.56 because they had a couple of skids of them. I told her we didn’t and she said nearly every man that walked back there carried a box out (300 in plastic boxes) of .223. This has been going on for 2 years at least.

Why do you think this is happening?
By the way I live in the Midwest.
Us rural fly over people have been making ready for years.

Don’t count patriotic Americans out yet. These politicians don’t understand how serious we take them.

I believe everything Obolo says he wants to do he will try, even the things that you have to read between the lines to see.

Black liberation theology, anti-colonialist , racist, bigot, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, etc. etc.

Democrats definition indeed.

Bullshit from the party of slavery, secession, the KKK, Jim Crow, poll taxes, etc. Democrat has always been the definition of traitor and terrorist from their KKK terrorist arm to their union thug terrorists.

Oh, most certainly. Of course they will. Because each and every person at DOJ is a patriotic American who wholeheartedly supports the United States Constitution and the rule of law....

Ummmm... Uhhh...

What happened? I think I lost consciousness there for a minute and I may even have been delirious.

Did I say anything crazy or stupid?

The bottom line is there isn’t much congress can do, you’ll never get 2/3 in both chambers to impeach, and the bastard controls DOJ.

Doesn’t Congress appropriate funds to the Treasury? Surely,there are remedies available?

What the hell is going on with congress? Is there not a spine left in either chamber. Both the house and senate have the power to imprison anyone who will not respond to their subpoena power.

The federal ‘government’ is nothing but a criminal organization at this point.

The Feral government has been not much more than  a criminal organization for decades. They are just getting more brazen about it now.

Poor and hungry citizens can not put up much of a fight against a behemoth, heavily armed government willing to kill them where they stand if and when they try
