Gun sales boom as Dems argue for confiscation - WND:
In fact, an attorney for the National Rifle Association, Chuck Michel, declared Obama "the gun salesman of the decade."
Michel explained Obama's agenda "caused people to go out and buy guns in record numbers."
But could that honorary title have been handed out prematurely?
Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke has triggered a surge in sales by vowing that if elected he will dispatch authorities to confiscate weapons.
Former Olympic athlete Rebecca Dussault warned against allowing biologically male athletes who identify as transgender to compete in women’s sports.
Every woman’s record in sports “will fall,” she said in an interview with the DCNF.
Male athletes have been piling up victories in girls’ and women’s sports.
...“I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt there are 1,500 men who on their bad day can beat Serena Williams in tennis,” she said.
“There are 2,000 men who could outrun the fastest female sprinters of all time. So if one of them deciders to compete as a trans woman, there you go.”...
"Meanwhile, in response to the Peggy Noonan piece referenced earlier, reader Ray Martin writes:
I haven’t read her column in many years (since she voted for Obama).
But I am surprised that nobody seems to grasp the major takeaway from her latest, and that is this: If Peggy Noonan has figured out what the Dems are doing, then so has everybody else.
And that has major implications for the 2020 election.
In the late summer of 2006 Joe Biden’s son Hunter and Joe’s younger brother, James, purchased the firm. On their first day on the job, they showed up with Joe’s other son, Beau, and two large men and ordered the hedge fund’s chief of compliance to fire its president, according to a Paradigm executive who was present.
After the firing, the two large men escorted the fund’s president out of the firm’s midtown Manhattan office, and James Biden laid out his vision for the fund’s future. “Don’t worry about investors,” he said, according to the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation. “We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”...
"The big problem with red flag laws, as they exist now in many states, is that they don't protect due process," he said. "That's unacceptable and I've never supported that ... I would never propose anything that doesn't protect due process."
Trump whistleblower: New revelations deepen scandal over complaint - CNNPolitics
"(CNN)Washington's newest scandal, over a whistleblower's complaint about President Donald Trump, intensified Thursday amid revelations that the White House and Justice Department tried to keep it quiet.
The affair, centering on Trump's contacts with a leader of a mystery foreign nation -- identified in two reports as Ukraine -- has also injected a toxic element into relations among the President, the intelligence community and Congress.
It is hard to see how any of this ends well.
Six months after special counsel Robert Mueller shut up shop, the White House again faces suspicion over Trump's dealings with a foreign power and seems to be taking steps to stop the full story from coming out..." Read all.

ICE Chief Defends His Agency From Attacks: ‘We’re Not Nazis’ | The Daily Caller:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting Director Matthew Albence pushed back against Nazi comparisons made by liberal critics of the agency, noting that agents are simply enforcing the law.
“We’re not Nazis,” Albence said during an ABC News interview, a portion of which was published Thursday. The acting director’s comments were in reference to numerous comparisons of ICE detention centers to concentration camps. Amid President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, more opponents of the administration have turned their ire on federal immigration authorities.
Nation's Murderous Psychopaths Undecided On Whether They’ll Follow New Gun Laws | The Babylon Bee
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Democrats such as Beto O’Rourke have proposed a number of new gun laws, such as universal background checks, a ban on magazines that hold more than ten bullets, and possibly even a “mandatory buyback” of some weapons such as AR-15s.
While these laws are likely to be a headache for law-abiding gun owners, the nation’s murderous psychopaths aren’t quite certain how the laws will affect them. “The background check sounds concerning,” explained deranged murderer Steve Mason, known as “Murdering Steve” to his friends.
“I would definitely fail it since I’m a well-known psychopath. But I’ve never actually purchased a gun through a gun-dealer; I just steal all my murder weapons. And so far no one has proposed a background check on theft, so I think I’m good.” Jake Foster, who is planning a shooting spree, expressed similar concerns about the ban on “high-capacity” magazines. “Having to do a shooting spree and reloading after every tenth shot does sound irritating,” said Foster. “Despite the law, I might just use a high-capacity magazine anyway. I guess the question is whether I’m willing to deal with a possible fine on top of the multiple counts of murder.” Read all!
“This is what climate change looks like,” said National Geographic.
...The video, shot by photographers Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier on Somerset Island, sparked outcry over the decimation of polar bears due to global warming.
The footage was viewed by 2.5 billion people, National Geographic estimated.
The video remains the most viewed on National Geographic’s website—ever.
What Followed
While many remember the footage of the polar bear, fewer are aware of what followed.
As Michele Moses recently explained in The New Yorker, scientists accused National Geographic of “being loose with the facts.”
There was no evidence, many pointed out, that the bear’s condition was the result of climate change.
The bear simply could have been old, ill, or suffering from a degenerative disease.
...While you’ll find no shortage of headlines declaring that polar bears face extinction, the numbers tell a different story.
Data from conservation groups and the government show that the polar bear population is roughly five times what it was in the 1950s and three or four times what it was in the 1970s when polar bears became protected under international treaty..."
The Left’s Kavanaugh Smear Implodes — Again | The Daily Caller:
Believe it or not, it was a year ago that a constellation of left-wing activist groups cooked up a series of outlandish lies designed to keep Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court. The national news media, as you will remember, joined the smear campaign. They repeated and magnified the slurs. But in the end, it was to no effect. Kavanaugh was confirmed anyway. Why? Because not a single allegation against him was proven to be true.
