California Hate Crime Gun Bill another Incremental Disarmament Tactic


So the disarmament bar moves from felony conviction to misdemeanor to accusation, and you’re supposed to roll over and take it. And if you do put up a squawk, why, that must make you a hater, meaning you need to be disarmed. [More]
The "ideological cleansing" continues.

No Comment

I don't know what happened, but many comments from the past couple weeks have been lost.  I tried to reconstruct what I could from undeleted emails, but I didn't have that many to salvage from.

Blogger has a backup/restore function but you need to go through a theme download that can erase gadgets. I'm out of my depth with that and don't want to go blundering in and make things worse.

I'm sorry if something of your is gone. If it's important to you, all I can offer is posting it again.

Thank you to those who understand no one is more upset by this than I am.

The Elefante in the Room

Latinos in America are a done deal. Good idea, bad idea, disaster, or doesn’t much matter–it’s still done. [More]

UPDATE NOTE: There is a problem with the link at present. If it persists, here is the cached version.

I mostly like Fred Reed. And as much as I don't want to admit it, he's probably right about illegal immigrants being here to stay, although he's kind of short on probabilities when two disparate cultures try to occupy the same turf. He appears to have the background to grok that.

But while ridiculing motives of amnesty opponents in this and other essays on the topic, reducing it to a cartoon combination of bigotry and South Park "'ey took our jobs!" resentment, I've never seen him address the main motivator, which has nothing to do with the simple prejudices he limits his arguments to lambasting.

There's an elefante in the room I've never seen him acknowledge, let alone address.

Maybe he can be the one to answer my longstanding challenge, because it's a cinch none of the cheap labor Republicans or the NRA want to touch it:

Audit all credible polls against real world experience in places like California and then produce credible data – not opinion, not anecdotes, not isolated examples, but something that can be independently validated – demonstrating that “amnesty” and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals in this country illegally (and legally, with CURRENT culturally suicidal policies) WILL NOT overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners.

Show your sources and methodologies for determining this WILL NOT result in supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will then be able to pass all kinds of anti-gun edicts. Show how this WILL NOT result in nominations and confirmations of judges to the Supreme and federal courts who will uphold those edicts and reverse gains made to date.

What, we need to start to think about assimilation instead? It's a little late for that, but I could add "Show how assimilation will reverse this outcome-- be sure and provide verifiable numbers to show costs and percentages against a timeline, and the likelihood that enough factions can agree on a unified plan to make a bit of difference."

In the absence of any substantive response, the questions become" "Who will be assimilating whom and under what terms?" and what happens when a critical mass will "not go gentle into that good night"?

That terrible probability is why some of us, a handful, strive to warn, futilely, I fear.

But not going gentle means not giving up.

UPDATE:  Comments gone.

I don't know if this is a hack attack or if I accidentally deleted everything with a wrong check mark in a box, which seems a system flaw to allow that much to be lost by a simple keystroke withno "delete" confirmation dialog --I'm going to try to get back in and see if any reconstruction is possible -- in the mean time I'm putting in what I can recover from undeleted email notices under this and a few other posts, but it looks like it may be extensive and going to manyother posts.

Super Illegal Alien


DC goes full Antifa. Naturally, the "hater" is a white man and a gun owner who wears an American flag. [More]

What's the Opposite Day "progressive" counterpart to "Truth, justice and the American way"?

It's hardly surprising. After all, Superman is an illegal alien himself, a refugee whose adopters lied about his origins and continued masking his real identity so his invented persona could fraudulently claim American citizenship -- which the Cultural Marxist writers had him renounce a few years back.

Could the manipulation be more transparent? And, of course, rival Marvel is every bit as in-your-face with it. Figures.

Still, I wonder how activist of color, say, Black Lives Matter and the like, feel about white liberals using the white language construct so that "blackness" of "soul" is being promoted as contemptible? It's a cinch that it was the white establishment that introduced and has since perpetuated the connotation of "black" with "...black with rage ... dirty, soiled ... thoroughly sinister or evil ... wicked ... a black deed ... indicative of condemnation or discredit got a black mark for being late...connected with or invoking the supernatural and especially the devil black magic the black arts ... very sad, gloomy, or calamitous black despair ... marked by the occurrence of disaster black Friday ... characterized by hostility or angry discontent ... sullen black resentment filled his heart..."

Are they going to let DC get away with perpetuating this racist stereotype?  And tangentially related, why won't DC let black social justice champion Alcee Hastings use the Superman symbol anymore?

Less is Moore?

Creates quite the dilemma for Fairfax, doesn't it?

There is one glitch:


This was the response a friend of mine got from the campaign:
"E-Verify presents some problems. The burden for protecting our borders should fall to the federal government - not the small businesses that fuel the economy."- Judge Roy Moore
My friend's reply (before the Strange downgrade for this Congress):
Many of my ancestors and friends have sacrificed, suffered, fought, even died for this country.
We're losing the USA. Day by day, right in front of our eyes, invasion-occupation and anchor-baby fast-breeding is progressively overwhelming our voting control of our country. Yet Judge Moore thinks businesses shouldn't be "burdened" by checking with E-verify to ensure they're not hiring invaders.
That kind of business whining is a cover story for not wanting to have any impediment to betraying their country and fellow citizens by hiring invaders with impunity, even with 95 million of us out of work and tens of millions more on "welfare".
Judge Roy Moore's position panders to the "cheap labor" traitors of the "US" Chamber of Commerce and their ilk, who sell out their fellow citizens and therefore don't even deserve to be citizens, let alone demand to be able to hire invaders.
I don't understand why NumbersUSA hasn't given Judge Moore an F on his stated E-verify position instead of leaving the issue ungraded. In any case, I'm retracting my support, especially given that Mo Brooks and Luther Strange both have the top grade. I hope Judge Moore wakes up on this issue and puts it in proper perspective.
If all the holes aren't plugged, support for the Second Amendment now won't matter in a few decades, at least politically.

Wrong question, although the Constitution does delegate power to Congress "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia."

That law says "shall not be infringed" and they're not free to pick and choose rights to deny.

While I'm no fan of "permits," there's Article. IV. Section. 1.:
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
