Biden's ATF Director to Admit: 'I Want to Ban the AR-15' - Louder With Crowder
Biden's ATF Director to Admit: 'I Want to Ban the AR-15' - Louder With Crowder:
If you are an American even marginally concerned about the second amendment, you've no doubt been mocked by leftists. "You silly rube. Democrats aren't coming for your guns." Even when Joe Biden said he's coming for our guns and nominated an anti-gun looney tune for ATF Director, we're the ones being paranoid. We're told it's insane to think that the government is coming for our guns. Independent "fact" checkers say so.

These routes amount to connective tissue binding together the North Atlantic community.
Cut them through surface, undersea, or air warfare and you dismember the alliance.
In other words, you isolate forces in Europe from U.S. and Canadian reinforcements and simplify the task of defeating the detachment of NATO forces in Europe.
Past foes found this logic compelling; so do present-day rivals.
...Now Russia is following the familiar pattern, dispatching nuclear-powered attack submarines to menace sea traffic.

Ron DeSantis Savages Corporate Media Still Attacking Him - Louder With Crowder
Ron DeSantis Savages Corporate Media Still Attacking Him - Louder With Crowder: Can we just admit that Ron DeSantis has won? Not that the pandemic was a competition between the states. But we did wind up with fifty different examples of governing, and DeSantis crushed everyone. He made Andrew Cuomo his bitch, forced Gavin Newsom to cry mean girl tears, and caused Greg Abbott to say, "oh, so that's what an actual FREE state looks like." America's Governor went from having leftist dickweeds protesting as the grim reaper to a 53% approval rating due to his leadership. He's Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl and Bobby Lashley retaining the WWE title. Both events, mind you, also happened in Florida this year.

It is perhaps an especially good time to remember a hero from Colorado who died 50 years ago this week. U.S. Army Maj. William Edward Adams was a helicopter pilot who was killed trying to rescue comrades in Vietnam’s Kontum Province.
- A revival of Memorial Day traditions and an enduring example of bravery.
"...Charlie McKenna reports for the Boston Globe on the families of the fallen who have come to honor their dead:
Melida Arredondo, whose stepson Alex was killed in Iraq in 2004, said fellow Gold Star families who take in the display share a unique connection.
“Being out here seeing the other families - there’s a bond. You might not even know the other family’s first name or whatever, you just remember the kids,” she said.
She said it was a profound feeling “just to be here and honor each other as those who have lost their loved ones, honoring the troops who have lost their compañeros, and honoring those from Massachusetts who have died for liberty.”
Of course those who have died for liberty come from every state.
When he set out he must have known how much the odds were stacked against him.
The citation for his Medal of Honor notes that he “volunteered to fly a lightly armed helicopter in an attempt to evacuate three seriously wounded soldiers from a small fire base which was under attack by a large enemy force. He made the decision with full knowledge that numerous antiaircraft weapons were positioned around the base and that the clear weather would afford the enemy gunners an unobstructed view.”...Read all.
Former teachers union president reveals why he went from fighting against charter schools to promoting them: 'They're bad for unions, not for kids' - TheBlaze
Former teachers union president reveals why he went from fighting against charter schools to promoting them: 'They're bad for unions, not for kids' - TheBlaze:
Charters are a form of school choice that the unions fear will one day lead to education vouchers, which will allow students to receive government dollars to escape the many failing public schools that unions have so long dominated. The schools also have the freedom to create classrooms that meet students' needs and hire non-union employees.
Now a former teachers union president is explaining why he went from fighting against charter schools to advocating for them.
Ocean explorer discovers 5 sunken WWII subs, giving closure to hundreds of families
- Ocean explorer discovers 5 sunken WWII subs, giving closure to hundreds of families
Baldwin's father, Fredrick Edward Cashell, and 41 other men died in June 1943 when the submarine sank off the Florida Keys during a World War II training exercise.
The R-12 could not be found, and as Baldwin went from an 8-year-old girl to a 75-year-old woman, she all but lost hope that it would ever be discovered.
"As a teenager, I found myself looking for him, because there was never a funeral," Baldwin said.

"There was never a memorial service... There was nothing."
But in 2011, a relative forwarded her a website claiming that the submarine had been found.

It’s a Travesty to Compare the Capitol Siege to 9/11
It’s a Travesty to Compare the Capitol Siege to 9/11
- More than 3,000 children never saw their parents again.
- On Jan. 6, Congress returned within hours.
"Democratic lawmakers want to establish a “9/11-style commission” to investigate the siege of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“I would like to see Jan. 6 burned into the American mind as firmly as 9/11, because it was that scale of a shock to the system,” commentator George Will said recently.
The attempt to reconfigure the “domestic terrorist” narrative to fit the horrifying story of Sept. 11 is profoundly disheartening.
These two events are fundamentally different in nature, scope and consequences.
Mentioning them in the same breath not only diminishes the horror of what happened on 9/11; it tells a false story to the generation of Americans who are too young to remember that day nearly 20 years ago.
My brother, Charles “Chic” Burlingame, was the pilot of American Airlines flight 77.
He was murdered in his cockpit at age 51 in a 6½-minute struggle for control of the airplane.
Here is what I want these young people to know...Read all.
