It's not the first time Herman Cain has ignored what I consider to be reasonable questions for someone who presents himself as a conservative leader. For instance, what did he mean by telling Wolf Blitzer he supports the Second Amendment but that states could impose infringements? (That segment starts @ 3:04 in).
On the flip side, just because I interviewed the guy has never meant I'm in the tank for Rand Paul. I've noted in the past I have an irreconcilable difference with him on his "don't call it amnesty"* partnership with Grover and Bloomberg.
Think he'd be any more responsive to my questions than Cain?

One of the fastest growing criminal networks in Europe is now the Nigerian mafia, which is spreading its criminal activities across the continent. It consists of rival groups such as Black Axe, Vikings and Maphite. Most recently, authorities in Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Malta conducted an international operation directed at two of the major Nigerian mafia groups. Police accused the gangs of human-trafficking, drug trafficking, robbery, extortion, sexual violence and prostitution. [More]Time for a neighborhood welcome party!

Curses, Foiled Again!
Without needing to even consider the issue of gun rights, federal courts are recognizing that boycotts enforced by government power can menace free speech and free association. The amusing part is that the public officials themselves are helping to provide the basis for these rulings by tweeting and speechifying about how much damage they intend to do the NRA. [More]
And the unamusing part is it shows what little regard these monsters -- and that's what they are -- have for basic rights, and what we can expect if they ever secure an unchallengeable monopoly of violence.

Fire Down Below
Greta Thunberg slammed Australian politicians for their lack of bushfire action. The 17-year-old demanded action from Australian leaders on her Instagram page. Her post drew more than 1million likes, with many comments backing her views [More]I'm trying to square all that with:
24 people have been charged over alleged deliberately-lit bushfires. 53 people have had legal actions for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban, and 47 people have had legal actions for allegedly discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land.And the Muslim suspect laughs.
Specifically, I'm trying to understand how me paying higher prices to cover carbon taxes remitted to globalist environmental cases will change any of that.
Team America, World Police
As usual, Rand Paul can't bring himself to support U.S. force against an enemy ... Like his father, Paul is an isolationist libertarian, and he’s just as opposed to the deployment of the U.S. military as he is to overreach by the EPA or the IRS. [More]I didn't see a "comments" section so readers who disagree could let the author's readers know why, and in this renewed period of "America, F*** Yeah!" you'll forgive me if I caution a bit of consideration before committing to action. Or you won't.
To categorize a nation as "an enemy" by definition means we are at war with it. I have seen no Article 1, Section 8 declaration. I never have in my lifetime, and the results speak for themselves.
First, it's hardly "isolationist" to heed:
In Thomas Jefferson’s inaugural address he declared, “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations. Entangling alliances with none.” This was a reaffirmation of George Washington’s policy, also known as “The Washington Doctrine of Unstable Alliances”. Washington, in his farewell address, stated: “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.”
If Iran's actions and threats make a declaration of war necessary, let's see the evidence (making sure that it is more reliable than the "yellowcake uranium" scam that facilitated the unending shedding of American blood and treasure in alien lands), and then have our representatives do their duty and vote on it -- and take the personal consequences of getting it right or wrong. That means we also need to take those consequences. We do, after all, morally share in the life and death responsibilities for the actions of those we empower.
If the verdict is war, then prosecute it with all necessary ruthlessness and expediency -- abroad and at home -- to break the enemy's will and extract his unconditional surrender.

Not Quite Clear on the Concept
All of the rights granted by both our federal and state constitutions are inalienable rights, not rights granted to us by an elected government and, therefore, our rights cannot be impeded upon by said government. Although all of our rights are equally important, the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1 Section 13 of the Virginia Bill of Rights give us our ability to protect all of our other rights in the event that our government becomes tyrannical.

I am acquainted with a non-"Only One" who was arrested by that department, not offered a similar "courtesy," and who spent Christmas in jail because the court was closed. He was prosecuted and it cost him several thousand dollars in attorney fees and fines, not to mention affected his record and jacked his car insurance up, and this guy was marginal -- certainly not so blitzed he was stewing in his own urine.
