Vanderboegh ponders unpleasant truths, restoring Constitution in Texas speech

“We are at present two peoples, two countries really, living within a common border and sharing (mostly) a common language but divided upon the answer to this question: does the government serve the people or do the people serve the government?” Vanderboegh elaborated. “This is not a question that the answer can be finessed, negotiated or ignored. It is one or the other, that of individual liberty as the Founders intended or of collectivist power in service to a few.” [More]

Not a Bad Question, Actually

Why on earth would anyone want to contact their Congress Critters on something that doesn’t exist at the moment? [More]

That's a tough one to answer.

I do have a quibble about the self-referencing criticism.  If Mike and I hadn't done that, and continuously, how far could we have gotten with this? Or this. Or this. Or any number of exclusives over the years not corroborated by "legitimate media."And, I could have faked all kinds of supporting documents accessible here.

Sometimes, we're all we've got, and people are either going to have to trust us or not -- and let proof of events catch up with the reporting. Or, alternatively, not say anything until ... forever.

Awaiting Moderation? This Needs to Be Seen NOW...

Ain't it something...?  Examiner's DISQUS moderator has no problem letting pure unadulterated spam slip through, but get a relevant comment and forget it--particularly one that is time-critical, as after today it won't be able to do any good.  Meaning my tech support ticket won't solve anything until it's too late.

So I guess I'd best post this here, in re the McDaniel/Cochran race:

Terrific article. Thanks. The crying shame is that we could've had several *dozen* Brat-Cantor-type upsets, had the gun rights, tea party, conservative and Republican
communities graded honestly and lifted a finger. Not least, we could've forced Lindsey Graham into a runoff and then defeated him. For evidence, one need only see the Brat-Cantor race. Brat went from being down 33 points to winning by 12 in one month, thanks to haphazard grassroots and talking head support, and thanks to the endorsement, ads and robocalling for Brat by Gun Owners of America. Cantor was defeated despite the NRA endorsing and campaigning for him, despite GOA's failure to downgrade Cantor from an A to the D or F he deserves (thus undermining GOA's own national endorsement and spending for Brat) and despite the national Sterile Bee Queen "Tea Party" groups' passive-aggressive or open support for Cantor, open-immigration and amnesty. Lindsey Graham avoided a runoff by just 9% against 6 more conservative candidates. Given the rapid Brat swing, Graham could've easily lost by 9% instead, forced into a runoff, then defeated, if the major loyal American organizations and talking heads had lifted a finger. At least Graham was only rated C by GOA. But, had GOA's grade reflected GOA's observation of the effect of open immigration on gun rights, Graham would've been an F, that alone might have been enough to hold him to a runoff.

The national "Tea Party" groups "stayed out" of the Brat-Cantor race, yet immediately took credit for it in their typical, fraudulent, Nigerian-style fundraising emails. All major "Tea Party" groups either openly endorse amnesty or passive-aggressively support it (e.g., Club for Growth). Sal Russo's "Tea Party" Express has endorsed amnesty, < http://theteaparty.net/>TheTeaParty.net is in bed with the open-immigration San Francisco neo-"Libertarian" group The Independent Institute (effectively an "Immigration-Socialist" group), and "FreedomWorks" was founded by openly
pro-amnesty beltway lobbyist and Chamber of Commerce waterboy Dick "Amnesty" Armey. All these groups, including "Tea Party Patriots", suck money out of Tea Party candidate coffers with hysterical, fundraising cons claiming to support certain candidates or issues -- 95% of the money actually goes for lavish salaries and sweetheart consulting contracts.

Joe Miller has clearly and consistently opposed
and exposed amnesty in personal communications and campaign emails. e.g.,
< http://joemiller.us/2013/06/amnesty-another-ruling-class-effort-to-destroy-America > http://joemiller.us/2013/06/am...
Also, Miller's opponents are waterboys for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Hence, it's incredible that Miller has no NumbersUSA rating, which means either NumbersUSA neglected to send it to him and make sure he got it, or he declined or neglected to fill out their questionnaire. I emailed Miller and his campaign about this last week, so if he
refuses or neglects to reply or fill it out, then he will pay a price, including my support. I've been a Miller donor since 2010.

We're the Only Ones Killing (the) Bill Enough

It was a great session, marred only by the defeat of  SB-296/HB-209 by Sen. Jeff Brandes and Rep. Heather Fitzenhagen. This was the bill to allow law-abiding citizens to carry their firearms with them during a mandatory evacuation under a declared state of emergency, rather than leave them in their homes for theft by looters or destruction by hurricanes or other disasters.

However, the Florida Sheriffs Association and numerous anti-gun sheriffs fought to kill the bill. [More]

When would you need them more?

So the bottom line is, Jack Latvala and his coalition of police state-enabling RINO kapos and fascist enforcement thugs need to be booted the hell out of power.

And just to show our actions support the alarms we raise, every one of those sheriffs who pressed for citizen disarmament ought to have their departments denied training program participation.

Yeah, like that'll happen...

That IS Seriously Messed Up

That is messed up -- such attitudes, that is...

Gosh, and those types of fireworks are illegal in California ... you'd almost think these revelers were predisposed to break the laws or something...

At least with the fireworks part, the Prozis are busy going after those trying to comply with the law: They continually try to ban the so-called "safe and sane" state-approved kind that are legal (whistlers, fountains, and the like) that are sold by nonprofits over the Fourth of July period in cities that allow it. A volunteer group can make several thousands of dollars in just a few days to help pay for band/sports equipment and/or uniforms, charity efforts, and the like, so naturally, all such efforts must be condemned and halted.

This Day in History: June 24

The advance of a large body of Greek Indians, headed by a number of their most celebrated chiefs, and warriors, and a British Officer, was announced at half after one o'clock this morning by a most furious attack upon Lieut. ColQ Posey's light Company, placed for the protection of two field pieces, a little in the rear of his Battallion. Their onset was impetuous, and their numbers so superior, as to cause that little gallant corps to fall back a few paces, which put the enemy for a few moments in possession of that artillery, but immediately rallying under the Conduct of Captain Parker, [More]
