Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Oh, noes, not Stacey!!!! – Because I know all you readers have been sitting around fretting, wondering when, oh, when will the stellar, awesome, brilliant, and indeed heroic Stacey Abrams jump into this race for the Democrat Party’s presidential nomination, I am oh, so sad to report the following news: She ain’t running.
Yesterday, the insufferable loooooooooser from Georgia, in whom Democrat Party leaders invested gobs of time, energy and money, trying desperately to build her into a national thing, announced that, after long contemplation of whether or not she wanted to get into another race she would be bound to lose, she did what fellow looooooooooser Irish Bob O’Rourke didn’t have the sense to do and decided to go do something else she might actually be good at doing. (Yeah, I know that was a run-on sentence, but I sure had fun writing it.)
Instead, Ms. Abrams has decided to apply her boundless energy for whining to the endeavor she loves most: Encouraging voter fraud. Oh, yeah, I know she actually said that she’s going to lead some organization whose goal is to fight “voter suppression,” but that’s just Democrat code for making sure all the dead and illegal aliens get to vote, too.
“My job is to be the voice to those who do not believe they are heard,” Abrams told a chanting audience. Dead people do have a hard time being heard, that’s for sure.
Hey, maybe she can get Irish Bob to help her run this enterprise, but not until after he has dropped out of the presidential race, come back to Texas and lost another race for the senate against John Cornyn. Which is pretty much an inevitability at this point, now that the editorial board at the Houston Chronicle, one of his major cheerleading squads during his failed attempt to unseat Ted Cruz, has set the stage for that to happen.
These Democrats are so darn transparent once you understand how they really think.
Ok, so Chris Cuomo can’t have guns, then? – Quote yesterday from President Donald Trump: “There’s nobody more pro-Second Amendment than Donald Trump, but I don’t want guns in the hands of a lunatic or manic.”
That gets me to this proposal running around for congress to pass a “red flag law” in the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton. All you need to know about how a red flag law would work is this sub-head from an August 6 article published about them in the Democrat Party propaganda sheet New York Times:
“Hoping to prevent more mass shootings, some states have tried empowering courts to take guns away from potentially dangerous people.”
The emphasis added there is mine, because that’s the salient point here that tells anyone whose political views are to the right of Ho Chi Minh that we simply cannot and must not have a national red flag law in the United States of America in the post- Barack Obama world. Anyone who has been paying even a modicum of attention to what has been taking place in our courts over the last 3 years knows that Obama packed the federal judiciary with hundreds of Manchurian Candidate judges who are willing to issue any decision, no matter how contrary it might be to the constitution, that will advance the leftist cause in our country.
We have had so many examples of Obama judges issuing bald-faced fraudulent decisions and getting smacked down by the Supreme Court in recent years that they are almost not even newsworthy anymore, which was exactly the plan to begin with. Leaving the determination of which citizens might be a danger to others should they obtain a firearm up to these particular judges is simply a recipe for willy-nilly gun confiscation anytime some leftwing activist group wants them confiscated. We’d ultimately end up in a situation in which you could have your guns taken away if you get suspended on Facebook or post a Tweet that some pimple-faced slob out in Silicon Valley working as a Twitter monitor finds objectionable.
Some of you might still, after all this time and all of these anti-Constitutional judicial decisions think I’m being ridiculous, and that’s fine. But take a look at the campaign the Democrats and their media toadies have been pushing since those latest mass shootings, which is to convince the American public not only that the President of the United States is a “white supremacist” – and thus, a danger to society – but anyone who supports him is also a “white supremacist.”
This is not me being an alarmist – this is all utterly transparent and predictable.
The other thing to remember is that, sooner or later, the Democrats are going to elect another president of their own, and that someone will look and sound a lot like one of those nutcases you have seen on your TV screen for the last six months. Do you really want to put a federal law on the books that would allow one of those lunatics and the fellow lunatics they would appoint to have discretion over who should and should not be able to arm and defend themselves in this society?
Sorry, no. Hard, hard pass.
That is all.
No red flag laws. Period.
If we pass red flag laws we’ve thrown the entire Constitution out the window. It’s not a recipe for gun confiscation. Its a recipe for tyranny, war and death.
It’s going to be tough in a communist “America” for Caucasians to prove to the “courts” that they are not “white supremacist”. Their epidermis is proof that they are lying.
To me, the question is more how to keep Democrat judges out of power. And if we simply tell the country to suck it up and learn to live with these shootings on a regular basis, we won’t be very successful in achieving that goal. That’s why I’m glad Trump is engaged - and after what he said about Fredo’s outburst yesterday, I’m also not worried about him selling us out.
Nobody wants lunatics and maniacs to have guns. That’s a given. The problem is demonicRATS don’t want sound-minded citizens to have guns either. President Trump should announce that the first step should be preventing illegals from possessing guns and watch the ‘RATS squeal like stuck pigs about how illegals have the right to defend themselves. Let them make the argument for us.
“If we pass red flag laws we’ve thrown the entire Constitution out the window. It’s not a recipe for gun confiscation. Its a recipe for tyranny, war and death.”
If there is a red flag law that emanates from congress and hits the President’s desk, if it is signed, it will immediately result in a lawsuit where eventually SCOTUS will toss it.
The bench has tuned into a position for Left Wing activism, just like the media. Can’t trust the judiciary to be fair.
Someone tell me how those bright guberment men can use red flag laws when they still cannot figure, allegedly a predictive motive for the Vegas massacre.
They cannot have it both ways, act like they do not know for one that is right in front of our eyes with evidence, yet can be all knowing without due process for the next that has not even happened yet
This is the biggest antispeech scam since global warming hoax
Those red flag laws violate the Constitution.
George Bush made that mistake several times
The courts are NOT going to fix any of our republics ills, including red flag laws. These days courts can and have repeatedly used baseless drivel to justify any ruling they want. The courts are a lost cause and we should quit pinning hopes on justices that are no more virtuous than the rest of the federal government and that is to say they are not at all.
They’re coming. I suspect we’ll see them in some form in the next few years.
“Mass shootings” aren’t going to stop, and there are more roadblocks being put down in front of law-abiding Americans to prevent these tragedies, such as concealed carry reciprocity. As more occur, the call that we “do something” will become louder.
No one wants to talk about the elephants in the room: mental health and the removal of God and family from American public life. Instead, they’re going to get their red flags, thousands of Americans will be stripped of their rights, people seeking help for mental health issues will plummet, and we, as a society, are going to continue to morally crumble.
The Democrats are morally corrupt and ethically repugnant, and now that the sheep’s wool has been pulled away, they are becoming brazen as the wolves they truly are.
Democrats have an obsessive compulsive disorder with making sure all the dead and illegal aliens get to vote.
Abrams is (or was) a rising star in the Democratic Party once they got her up there with a 10 ton derrick. She gained a national following during her losing bid to become governor of Georgia last fall.
She even told Joe Biden to take a hike on naming her VP...... Abrams said she was too important "to save Biden's ***."
Abrams contemplated long and hard in between triple orders of Popeye's fried chicken, orders of Taco Bell, and sides of Dominos extra large pizzas.
The Panthers wanted to recruit her---thinking she'd make a formidable defensive (cough) end......
running for president and the Senate (at the same time) was also considered.
Instead she's decided to go full-frontal virtue signalling: “My job is to be the voice to those who do not believe they are heard,” Abrams told a chanting audience.
Uh, we can’t put Democrat judges in charge of enforcing ANY law. By definition, they are a joke, they consider the law a joke, and their degree is a joke.
Sorry, but datz the twuth.
And so goeth the saga of the progressive.
“Can’t”? That’s precisely the intent!
I expect any federal red flag "law" would set guidelines and provide incentives to the states to enact a state law.
Therefore, state judges, not federal judges, will make the rulings on red flag cases.
FYI, following states have implemented red flag laws:
-California
-Colorado
-Connecticut
-Delaware
-District of Columbia
-Florida
-Hawaii (effective Jan. 1, 2020)
-Illinois
-Indiana
-Maryland
-Massachusetts
-Nevada (effective Jan. 1, 2020)
-New Jersey
-New York
-Oregon
-Rhode Island
-Vermont
-Washington
Our Scotus? They were just handed their arses by the dems. Their last batch of rulings were a mixed bag of mostly centerest theories.
