[VANITY] - Recently there have been a number of posts with lots of comments about the potentiality, plausibility, probability, impact and response to a domestic terror attack, likely perpetrated by members of the R3ligion of P3ace, assisted by other well-funded state-sponsored enablers who have recently flowed across our open southern border (read CHINESE). The purpose of this post is twofold: (1) to refer you to a short, compelling, spot-on novella about a domestic terror attack and the local response. It's chilling and sadly even more plausible given recent events and national circumstances. If you have children or grandchildren in school...

A three-judge panel on the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has ruled a mere restraining order is insufficient to ban rights protected by the Second Amendment. The decision follows the long judicial practice in the United States. Fundamental constitutionally protected rights may not be removed without a criminal conviction in a court of law. Restraining orders have the merest hint of due process. They are often granted without any representation on the part of the individual accused. The utility of restraining orders and the removal of rights because of them have long been in doubt. Intimate partner homicides...

As PJ Media noted on Tuesday, the Democrat-led committee noted in a report this month that the FBI has “repeatedly identified domestic terrorism, in particular white supremacist violence, as the most persistent and lethal terrorist threat to the homeland, including in multiple threat alerts provided to Congress and law enforcement agencies across the country.”

Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said Sunday on CBS “Face the Nation” that domestic threats the United States is facing are worse than international terrorism threats.

This group, the insurrectionists on January 6, tried to take down the United States Capitol and tries to subvert our electoral counts process. So it is an outrage this happened in America.
