Second Amendment Is the Argument | National Review

Second Amendment Is the Argument | National Review:

"You may be someone who believes that it would be safer to eliminate guns from the hands of the public, and that’s fine — but you still need to view your activism through the lens of constitutional process. You need to be lobbying legislators to amend the Constitution, rather than lobbying officials to create laws that disregard it. Why? Because the Constitution always matters. If you want to say that it shouldn’t always matter, or that should matter except on this issue, then really, what you’re saying is that it never truly does — because you yourself have already stated that exceptions are okay. Either the document has integrity or it doesn’t. Either it has the power to protect our freedoms or it doesn’t — and to me, that seems like an easy choice.

The Possible Las Vegas Motive That Only Mark Steyn Is Talking About | Daily Wire

The Possible Las Vegas Motive That Only Mark Steyn Is Talking About | Daily Wire
"...Which begs the question: Why did he spend energy and time sneaking all those firearms into the hotel knowing that when bullets started flying, he wouldn’t get the chance to use even half of what he had on hand?
The writer of the email quoted in Steyn’s article believes the answer to motive is “publicity." Specifically, that “this man [Paddock] wished to telegraph to America in graphic form the hard irrefutable evidence that guns and gun ownership, and the ease of gun purchase in America are an evil and must be controlled. 
On that hypothesis, everything now makes sense."
There’s no hard evidence to support this theory, of course, but one must admit, with the meager information we currently have at hand, it makes sense.
Steyn’s reader believes that Paddock did leave a message, “it only happens to be implicit instead of explicit.
That message is ‘guns.’
And that message is being trawled over every minute of every day on every network in America."
...If it is the case, however, that Paddock believed he was killing for “righteous” ends, this is clearly sinister idealism at work..."

Gun Control Supporters’s Misguided Moral Superiority | National Review

Gun Control Supporters’s Misguided Moral Superiority | National Review:

"As has been explained a million times, the so-called gun-show loophole applies only to private sales between citizens of the same state, not to all gun-show sales or to all Internet sales. If you buy a gun from a licensed dealer, the dealer is required by law to make sure that you’re legally eligible to buy that gun, no matter where you buy it."

The hypocrites.

Can we stop down playing this rivalry please?

Good call this morning Desmond. How many times do we need to lose to inferior MSU teams for us to take this seriously? Even most of John L's teams played us down to the wire. I'm sick of us playing down to MSU and we even looked uninspired out there. Meanwhile MSU is jacked up and played smart, ran the ball, and hung on to the ball. What is the problem here?

This is how YouTube and FB are attacking conservative thought-----YouTuber De-monetized Hours after Rush Limbaugh Reads Her Article on His Show | Trending

YouTuber Demonetized Hours after Rush Limbaugh Reads Her Article on His Show | Trending
"On the same day that Rush Limbaugh read my recent column on air, YouTube — in the dead of night — de-monetized a large percentage of videos on my channel.
My YouTube channel has been around for years with many recordings of very boring village meetings highlighting local Chicago-area corruption.
...Yesterday, October 5, after Rush read my article on his show, I made a video that included my reaction to him talking about it on the air.
It wasn't up for three hours before my videos started getting the dreaded yellow dollar signs — which means YouTube just took away my ability to be paid for them.
YouTube made sure that whatever bump in subscribers or views I got from Rush would not benefit me in any way.
...YouTube has been going after politically conservative content creators for a long time.
Paul Joseph Watson's videos have largely been de-monetized along with those of Trump-stumping sisters Diamond and Silk and other big-name conservative talkers.
Diversity & Comics creator Richard Meyer has received two strikes against his account in the last week.
One more will result in his account being deleted and his content lost forever.
All he knows is that his channel has been reported for dubious reasons by people who don't want to be criticized in the comics industry.
YouTube shows no desire to right such situations.
In fact, YouTube does not allow anyone to dispute the demonetization strikes unless the video in question receives 1000 views in the next seven days (go watch it—now!). 
This makes it impossible for anyone without hundreds of thousands of subscribers to have a prayer of being monetized again..."

Shocking (To no one) The DNC ‘Donates’ Harvey Weinstein Money To.... Democrat-Aligned Groups

"Shocking (To no one) The DNC ‘Donates’ Harvey Weinstein Money To.... Democrat-Aligned Groups

Is anyone surprised by this? 

Instead of donating that money to women's shelters or rape victims, the Democrats funnel some of the money to groups that help them get elected. 

And they wonder why so many of their own voters are turned off by them and supported the communist Bernie Sanders. 

At least you know he's going to steal from you. He's telling you he is. 

But even the shrew Hillary refuses to return the $5,000 she got from Backpage com which was accused of helping promote child prostitution. 

Both she and Obama got a bundle from Weinstein because he fundraised for them.."

Cheryl Enstad sues PeaceHealth for not paying for son's transgender surgery - Washington Times:

"A Washington state woman filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Catholic health organization she works for, saying it discriminated against her by refusing to pay for her child’s chest reconstruction surgery as the child transitions to be a boy.
The American Civil Liberties Union is representing Cheryl Enstad and her teenage son Pax, who allege PeaceHealth violated both Obamacare and state law in refusing to cover the treatment."
