A State's Right Approach to Federally Imposed Problems

No, I'm not suggesting that state's declare their refusal to follow Federal interpretations of the law.

But, rather, to use the sovereignty of the individual states to begin coordinating regional responses to crises.

Such as this response, from FL, NE, and IA, to the TX border invasion. The thing is, the Federal government cannot stop states from voluntarily cooperating to their mutual benefit. And, since so many of the states' governors are strong executives with conservative leanings, this is an approach that may well tip the scales.

The Federal government can act against ONE state; they can send in the guard to crush dissent.

It's harder to do when multiple states act in their own interests, and refuse to cooperate with the Feds.

It will be even harder when the Feds can no longer call upon the National Guard to crush opposition to Federal-level, unconstitutional, and illegal demands. They made a BIG mistake when they chose to bring in the Guards in January, treat them abominably, and, now, fail to pay the state for the cost of using them as support for the DC police department.

The governors, and the states' citizens, are hopping mad about all of the above.

A Back-Door Way to Kill Gun Rights

Ace of Spades is calling "The British are Coming" in today's post.

The use of rental agreements/leasing terms to clap down on gun support and possession, block open expressions of NLD views, and use this to pressure families to fall into line with ProFa doctrine, is a growing concern. If you could own a house that will be targeted for abusive zoning, taxation, and city regulatory abuse, while the rental units will not only be exempt from that harassment, but potentially eligible for financial incentives, preferential treatment in school assignment, and job preferences.

I'm guessing on the last part, but a guess with some history to my hunch.

How the ProFa get power.

We need to re-label the Hard-Left, much like the Pro-Abortion forces re-christened the Pro-Life activists as the Anti-Choice group.

Why should we accept a name that brings up connotations of the Good Guys of WWII? Instead, we need to start calling them ProFa, and hammer down on their Fascist behaviors:

• Silencing their opponents with violence and threats.
• Refusal to all full discussion of the issues, instead shouting down their opponents and insisting that their speech is "violence".
• Use of the legislature, courts, and bureaucrats to enforce their positions. When that fails, use the media to defame them.
• Street thugs used to pressure government officials, private businesses, and any vocal opponents.
• Getting regulations in place that justify their illegal actions.
• Offering financial incentives for individuals, groups, and corporate interests to support their control.
• Collusion with the legal system - putting their supporters in influential jobs, where they can get those committing crimes released with little to no consequence.
• Identifying opponents as a group that may be targeted without consequence. This is Jews in many ProFa circles, particularly academia, but also Asians and White/non-compliant Blacks, as well.

Please share this online. Label them. Make them regret they ever included the term Fascist in their identity.

Some Random Things That Caught My Eye

The Nazi efforts to neuter the genuine voice of the Christian church.

Funny how the Not-Left gets accused of unlawful insurrection, but the Actual-Left engages in that regularly, without any notice by the Media (I'm using the Capitalism to denote the "Official Media").

I just checked, and NO MEDIA, other than the Dissident Media, has this story.

From MSNBC, a search for Austin:

Narrowing the search to Austin City Hall:

From FoxNews (same search):

At least the Fox search acknowledges that the police department has had their budget cut. But, nothing about the takeover of the area around City Hall (an autonomous zone, so to speak).

CNN? Nada. On and on.

I do watch (a little, as my husband starts every morning with tv, and always has the evening news on - generally, the channel with the best-looking female newscasters). I've seen nothing about the Austin City Hall 'insurrection'.

Funny - you would THINK that would be news, wouldn't you?

That "NIH Funded the Wuhan Lab" story?

It's complicated. What happens is, the original provider of grants funds another entity, which acts as a slush fund for those organizations the original provider WANTED to fund, but wasn't legally able, or didn't want to have that grant on record.

The intermediary entity is the one that does the funding (sometimes, taking it through yet another NGO in between, before passing it onto the intended organization). Yes, this does increase the cost - if nothing else, in accounting for the moving donation in paperwork. However, even the Mafia, when they move their dirty money through subsequent organizations to launder the cash, expects to pay a price. And, for the 'cleaners', it is quite lucrative.

Now, you know why so many organizations are cropping up - many of them were designed to be bland 'pass-through' entities for the eventual recipients.

That brief introduction I had to accounting and business practices in Cuyahoga Community College? It's been priceless in understanding the strategies of the Core Left.

Not a Gun Person, But...

 ...this video seems to have raised some questions.

The person speaking does seem to have some knowledge of guns, so I hope those that have some background in weapons will enlighten me. I simply don't have the ability to evaluate his claims.

The Gathering Storm

In the aftermath of the recent shooting - both in America, and in the rest of the world (the media focused on Paris, but just about totally ignored the kidnapping of a Malaysian engineer, who has been reportedly beheaded) - the American people are nervous.

For a very good reason.

Unlike truly random attacks, the Islamic terrorists aim at maximizing Christian deaths.  It is for this reason that the "holiday" party was targeted - the killers could be reasonably sure that those of the Christian faith would be present.  Other groups that have faced terror from Islamicists are the Kurds, the Druze, and, of course, every whacko group's fave, the Jews.

The Progressives have been wrinkling their foreheads at the perplexing actions of ordinary Americans, who - despite the number of shootings by random crazies and "Peaceful Muslims" (trademark pending) - are reacting by choosing to increase the number of guns owned by citizens.  It's "truly a puzzlement" (to quote the King of Siam from the musical) why any sane person would react to the increasing violence with purchases to defend themselves and those they love.

/sarc

I personally know 1/2 dozen or more Democrats who've either bought guns, or are contemplating a purchase.

Hmmmmm.

Whatever COULD be causing people to feel unsafe?

Why, it's as though these nervous people don't fully trust their government to protect them.

They must be paranoid.

[UPDATE]  I know it reads like an Onion article, but apparently the appropriate response to the CA shooting should be attendance at a radical mosque:

A handful of House Democrats are expected to meet Friday afternoon at a Northern Virginia mosque that has reported ties to terrorists.

The Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church is where Anwar al-Awlaki, an accused recruiter for al Qaeda who was killed in 2011 by a U.S. drone strike, was an imam at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It was also widely reported that some of 9/11 hijackers attended the mosque, and that Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan worshipped there

Have we morphed into Bizarro World?
