A Day that will Live in Infamy?

"Infamous"?

Sure, Inigo, you can take this one, presuming they don't mean it.

As the Culture Terraforms

Not enough babies are being born to replace the US population as birth rate plunges to 30-year low [More] 

This presupposes that population increases are desirable and sustainable. It's kind of like asking "warmists" what the right temperature should be. Left unsaid are factors like manipulated global trade affecting needed jobs, the rise of AI and the fact that increasing swaths are not only non-productive but actually a drain -- by design.

So how will "we" keep the "Social Security" Ponzi scheme from collapsing, at least until the string-pulling swindlers are either gone or have their getaways secured?

No problem, just open the gates and bring in the foreigners! Hey, at least out of all that they managed to bring in one Aussie, even if he is acting like he just downed a couple Fosters. It's all the cheering Somalis at 00:48 who fill me with confidence that the Founders' intent is in good hands!

Or is it the smiling and approving newscucks who do that...?

False Alternatives, Anyone?

“We need immigrants to take all the different kinds of jobs that the country needs — improve our culture, our cuisine, our religion, our dialogue and certainly improve our economy,” Bloomberg said while speaking at a Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, according to the AP. [More]

You know, cultural terraforming. And Grover agrees.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue. Right, Fairfax, and those who would presume to save us from them?

If All You Have is a Hammer and Sickle...

...everything looks like a nail or a stalk. [More]

There's a book title in here somewhere...

Say It Ain't So!

Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Chicago, resigns amid federal corruption investigation [More] 

If you can't trust a Chicago Democrat, who can you trust?

Give 'em Hell, Hairy

My initial reaction on seeing this was this must be another comedic clip by Bad Lip Reading, but I see people with the resources to check (but naturally, no one in the DSM) all seem to think it's not only real but a strong indication of twisted character.

Who doesn't think it would be headlines all over (and grounds for another Schiff investigation into and Democrat accusations of child abuse) had Trump said this?

Appeal Filed after NY AG Rejects FOIL to ID Investigated ‘Ghost Gun’ Companies

The refusal instead indicates not only a lack of transparency on the part of Attorney General James and suggests arrogance and a legal vendetta by someone with the power to prosecute based on a political agenda. If allowed to stand, forget guns. What other issues involving citizen rights will the State be able to pursue while confidently hiding behind a cloak of in-your-face nondisclosure? [More]

Her objective isn't "to secure the Blessings of Liberty." It's to revel in the power to tyrannize and to rub it in the faces of those she hates.

No Mas

I did all the work I intend to do today, barring something I just can't ignore.  I need a break and I'm going to just spend a weekend with my family (albeit I do have one more article I'll probably need to promote tomorrow and another I need to write on Sunday).

I'll be back to doing blog posts, answering emails and considering news tips on Monday.

Gun Trafficking by Deputies Shows Inevitable Corruption from Gun Laws

Outrageously, per The San Diego Union-Tribune, Garmo’s activities had been known by his department and only resulted in a reprimand from Sheriff Bill Gore (formerly in charge of the attack on Randy Weaver’s family at Ruby Ridge) and a warning letter from the District Attorney, “a longtime political ally of Gore’s.” Garmo himself dismissed his activities as “truly a hobby for me, and it just got a little out of control.” [More]

Not all heroes wear capes? I've known several who didn't wear badges, either, and who were better men than most who do.

Night of the Evil Butterball

This is my traditional Thanksgiving essay, first posted in 2000 and updated every year since:

Attacks by roving flocks of wild turkeys are on the increase around suburban Boston. [More]

Time was, the turkey was considered a game bird. The Pilgrims at Plymouth are said to have feasted on them (perhaps). Generations later, Ben Franklin considered it such a useful fowl that he nominated it for the national bird.

Of course, this was in the days when the right to bear arms was taken for granted, when free people hunted turkeys for sustenance, all the while honing marksmanship skills that would serve them well in time of need.

Fast-forward to present-day Boston, a place of sacred tradition, the literal forge for our heritage of individual liberty. Except Boston is now a place where traditions have been betrayed. Its current overlords have succeeded in disarming the whole people in a way that General Gage could never have conceived possible.

So successful have these rulers been that the city that gave us Sam Adams and Paul Revere is now a city under siege, and this is fittingly ironic if you think about it, by wild turkeys. So helpless and hapless are Boston’s modern-day patriots, they can do little except retreat from the aggressive gobblers, escape, hole up and plead for rescue from the very authorities that enforce public impotence.

This is what the heirs of The Sons of Liberty have been reduced to. This is what they have allowed, and in many cases, demanded. Human beings, with dominion over the earth, scurrying from turkeys. The tolerated degradation of the masses is damned near complete.

This does not escape the notice of those who impose their tyranny upon us. What new outrage are they now free to impose? What can’t they do? After all, we’re talking about subjects who would cede their birthright to birds.

The greasy-lipped masters have to be laughing like hell as they reach across their table of plunder and rip off another drumstick…

2019 Update

May you have as much to be thankful for as I do. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.  Now go enjoy the day.

That's It for Me

I've got all kinds of stuff I need to attend to in prep for Thanksgiving, so assuming something huge doesn't break, that's it for the blog until Friday, except for a couple article announcements and my traditional T-Day post.

I'll try to get to comments as I can, but emails and link tips are just no-can-dos as far as responding or acting on them, so please hold off.

The Final Word?

Argument preview: Justices take up battle over New York City gun ban – and the scope of the Second Amendment? [More]

Until those who would defy infringements are gone, the scope is what they say it is, and the issues raised here don't even come close.

So Controlling the Border Isn't an Option?

Mexico Wants to Meet With State Dept. After Trump Said U.S. Will Designate Drug Cartels as Terrorists [More]

Who thinks this will all play out like a surgical and effective Tom Clancy raid as opposed to more like Afghanistan?

Biting the Hand that Feeds Them

Government workers more likely to support socialism, repealing Second Amendment: Poll [More]

I'm reminded of:

"What should we think of a gentleman, who, upon hiring a waiting-man, should say to him—'my friend, please to take notice, before we come together, that I shall always claim the liberty of eating when and what I please, of fishing and hunting upon my own ground, of keeping as many horses and hounds as I can maintain, and of speaking and writing my sentiments upon all subjects.' A servant must be a fool, who would not suppose such a master to be a madman... Let these truths sink deep into our hearts: that the people are the masters of their rulers and that rulers are the servants of the people..."

'Nine-Eleven'

Henry County supervisors quickly stand up for guns in 'sanctuary' vote [More]

How, specifically?

And noting the applause, why am I reminded of Lois Griffin running for mayor?

But No One's Talking About Taking Your Guns

(Give her some credit here — at least she realizes a repeal is the only (legal) means by which gun rights can be eliminated.) [More]

The College Fix spreading such nonsense is actually a greater danger than the lunatic prof, because their readership dismisses her with deserved ridicule but trustingly swallows their assertions. I guess they never learned:

“The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it ‘shall not be infringed.’ As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, ‘[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence."
