What You Need to Know About the GAO Report

The Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists could not sound more triumphant. [More]

They're not that vocal on this:
Gene L. Dodaro became the eighth Comptroller General of the United States and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on December 22, 2010, when he was confirmed by the United States Senate. He was nominated by President Obama... 
Why they leave these guys in positions of influence when they change administrations is beyond me. Any guesses on how long he's been colluding with the Dems and holding off to drop a supposed "bombshell" at just the right time?

This is admittedly a stretch, but anybody know if his wife, "the former Joan McCabe," has any relatives in government?

And for what it's worth, OMB disagrees and is calling shenanigans.

VCDL/GOA Sue on Lobby Day Gun Ban

Via email:
January 16, 2020 For immediate release BREAKING: GOA, VCDL Sue VA Governor over Lobby Day Gun Ban Springfield, VA – In response to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s gun ban before Lobby Day, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) announce the filing of an emergency injunction to overturn the governor’s illegal ban. Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, stated the following: “Governor Northam is behaving like the royal governors who long preceded him. He has arrogantly and brazenly tried to restrict the rights protected to Virginians by the First and Second Amendments. “For this reason, Gun Owners of America is joining VCDL in asking the courts to issue an emergency injunction forbidding the enforcement of the Governor’s unlawful ban. The Lobby Day rally is held annually with thousands of participants and without incident. The only difference this year is that, in response to the Democrats’ attempt to eviscerate the Second Amendment, a much larger crowd is expected. “GOA is arguing that the Governor’s actions violate the Virginia and U.S. Constitutions, as well as, a 2012 state law which strictly limits the governor’s ability to ban guns in a state of emergency.” The complaint can be viewed here:

Here's where you go for more.

Can there be any doubt that the agenda of academic gun "research" is to disarm Americans?

So why the "compromise" on federal funding?

I need some reassurance:


OK, I feel better now.

You Can't 'Block' the Signal?


So what does this have to do with plastic bricks? Easy. If you don't have a $500 Chinese mill & a $100 hunk of aluminum, or a $550 3-D plastic printer, it's off to the gun dealer with you, right? Maybe. Or maybe you can dig into your kids' toy box, sit at your kitchen table, and build an AR lower out of the plastic building bricks you already have in your house. So - we offer you a sixth choice in the route to owning an AR. You don't need a $500 piece of equipment to make aluminum chips or plastic shapes, and you don't have to walk down to your gun shop. You need some ABS glue, some time, and a lot of plastic bricks and patience. [More]

Whatever It Takes?


Our campaign stands ready to do whatever it takes to stop the bastardaziation of our constitutional rights. [More]
Whatever?
IMMIGRATION AND BORDER SECURITY: There is already a southern border wall, it needs to be improved and repaired. The data shows that we have too many illegal immigrants coming into the country that are causing the court system and jails to be substantially overloaded and consequently costing taxpayers substantial amounts of money to deal with the problem. The immigration process needs to be fixed to review and expedite cases.
So-- not a word about those already here, "amnesty," a "pathway to citizenship" and "birthright citizenship"? Not a word about how the "legal" cheap labor side of things creates the same dangers?

I look at that statement coming from someone with an obvious capability to indulge in fiery rhetoric when he wants to, and I wonder how it differs in essence from Michael "fixing the broken immigration system" Bloomberg's.

If that's the best the guy can do, forgive me for invoking Fletcher.

Sometimes, the way just the right buzz words evoke a Pavlovian response reminds me of the town hall audience when Lois Griffin ran for mayor.

Speaking of Consequences...


Democrats are the majority. Elections matter. They have consequences and a decade of shoddy candidate recruitment has landed us here. [More

That and what else?

Is there a blindness or is avoidance of the undeniable deliberate?

If our "influencers" don't even talk about it, how the hell will anything but catastrophe follow?

Say, why don't we ask the Saviors...?

So It Works When They Want It To?

You know, erecting a barrier and barring entry to those they want to keep out, and making sure everyone allowed in does so in a controlled manner? [More]

This coming from a "sanctuary city" for illegal aliens and a government that flies a "Sic Semper Tyrannis" flag...

UPDATE: I just had a flash and don't know if this could "work" or not, but what if people there to support rather than lobby show up armed and stay outside the perimeter fence and surround the place?
