A Reference Library You Should Know About

This morning I came across an article on our education system and was surprised it was published on a site dedicated to selling ammunition: Ammo.com. Turns out they have a whole library of articles that are worth reading and knowing about.

I reproduce the library’s Table of Contents here:

Table of Contents

I found this to be a veritable treasure-trove of insightful, conservative and traditional material that “says it so much better than I ever could.” I commend it to my readers and want to thank the authors and editors of Ammo.com for making it available for sharing under a Creative Commons license.

Enjoy and absorb!

Remember the Alamo and 2020

The dust hasn’t settled, but the Left has wasted no time attempting to complete the “fundamental transformation” of America. Unless one has one’s head in the sand, which, regrettably, millions do thanks to a media that has successfully created an alternative reality that they’ve been brainwashed to accept, the slide down the slippery slope to the destruction of the greatest civilization ever known to man has accelerated almost to the point of no return. As we go forth, we must never forget what the Left did to us in 2020.

What we see happening right before our eyes is Evil unleashed. I used to think of the Leftists as whack-a-moles. At least with whack-a-mole the player has a chance at winning. I would now characterize what’s happening as the gates of Hell being opened and its hounds unleashed. The outcome of this war is uncertain. And while I hope and pray that Right and Truth will prevail, the tide is clearly in favor of the Left and Lies.

The Left has been trying to gain complete control of our country for several generations. All the political shenanigans, all the lies and distortions, all the mischaracterizations and outright falsehoods the Left has perpetrated, the cheating, the duplicity, the outright theft…in 2020 all was coordinated to bring about the outcome we are now witnessing: the destruction of America as we know it and its replacement with a Marxist/socialist utopian wet-dream.

“Come on Grumps, don’t you think you’re being a bit shrill and melodramatic,” one might ask?

I don’t think so. As each day goes by a new atrocity is unwrapped. Here it is the end of March, and look at what’s happened. I’m going to assume that readers are already quite aware of all these things, so this is a just a list to summarize what we’ve since inauguration day:

  • The “Biden-Harris” administration directive.
  • Harris speaking to world leaders instead of Biden.
  • 1:15 PM “lids” on Biden’s day routinely.
  • $1.9 Trillion Covid boondoggle handouts to Leftists – only 9% actually for Covid.
  • Biden promised we would never see tax hikes https://nypost.com/2021/03/17/biden-tax-hike-could-hit-people-earning-200k-white-house-says/
  • Keystone Pipeline shut down: skyrocketing gas prices, destroying America’s energy independence
  • Attempt to force $15 minimum wage
  • $3 TRILLION “infrastructure” bill to fund “Green New Deal” on tap
  • Slavery reparations for “systemic racism”
  • Defunding the police
  • Obliviousness to the REAL insurrections in major cities on the part of ANTIFA and BLM
  • The push for single-payer healthcare
  • Making the ‘wealthy’ pay their “fair share”
  • Rampant cancel culture
  • Kowtowing to the teachers’ unions on re-opening the schools
  • Stopping the completion of the Wall – The Crisis at the Mexican Border
  • Prospective elimination of the Filibuster
  • HR-1 to institutionalize fraudulent elections
  • DC Statehood now being debated
  • Students ethnic studies and critical rate theory curricula imposed
  • Dissolution of the 1776 Commission and promotion anew of the 1619 Project
  • Executive order on transgenders in sports and the “Equality Act” abomination
  • Penalties being placed on “climate deniers”
  • Cancel culture: Aunt Jemima, Pepe LePew, Mr. Potato Head, Mark Twain, Dr. Seuss
  • Statues of Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson being destroyed
  • Rejoining the Iran accord
  • Rejoining the Paris Climate Accord
  • Kissing up to the Palestinians again: obsession with the 2-State solution and undermining of the Abraham Accords
  • Putting the U.S. back on its heels versus the Chinese who made fools of Biden’s team in Alaska.
  • The White Supremacy canard.
  • North Korea flexing its muscles again
  • They’re coming for your guns
  • Cancelling Christianity

If this isn’t a tsunami of evil and filth I don’t know what is!

A better summary is provided by Lauri Regan’s article in American Thinker dated March 25, 2021 entitled “What Trump Derangement Syndrome Has Wrought“.

Here’s her conclusion, quoted verbatim:

So here we are. Unity? Moderation? Not in a Biden-Harris administration that brags about passing the most “progressive bill in American history.” Not in an administration driven by reversing Trump policy no matter how successful while driven by divisiveness, lies, ideology, and power. But Trump’s gone so we have that going for us.  Sadly, the 74 million American voters who didn’t cast ballots for these awful people and policies will pay the price for the vapidity of Americans filled with enough hate and ignorance to elect this garbage.

“Remember 2020” needs to be the new patriot’s rallying cry!

The “Assault Rifle” Canard

The shooting in Boulder, Colorado yesterday immediately generated a tsunami of ‘news’ reports which included references to an “assault rifle” used by the perpetrator. Before the facts were even known, Biden already had his teleprompter ready to decry “high capacity magazines” and “assault weapons”. He boasted that he previously authored the 1994 ban on “assault weapons” which was allowed to expire in 2004. Why was it allowed to expire? Because it didn’t work![i]

Setting aside the hysterical white male supremacy drivel that spewed forth from the Leftist press, I’d like to remind my readers of some hard facts:

1.            AR, as in AR-15, does NOT stand for “assault rifle” as so many ignorant politicians and reporters allege. It is a reference to the Armalite Company’s model AR-15, which was a scaled down version of the earlier AR-10 rifle designed by Eugene Stoner, a design engineer. Thanks to Stoner and Armalite, the M16 military version capable of fully-automatic (a.k.a. “select-fire”) was developed. Over 8 million M16’s have been manufactured and most of the U.S. military adopted it at one time or another as standard issue.

2.            The AR-15 style rifle, which is manufactured by many companies, is NOT capable of fully-automatic/select-fire operation. It may LOOK like an M16 or M4 (another military version), but it is, by definition, NOT an assault rifle. It is a semi-automatic weapon, which means the trigger must be pulled each time it is fired. An assault rifle, by contrast, has the fully-automatic capability of a machine gun. For a layman’s discussion of what IS and what is NOT an assault weapon, here’s an excellent article on the subject. It is incredibly naive, inaccurate and misleading to equate the term “assault rifle” with any rifle that looks like an M16, M4 an AK47 (the other of the two most popular military rifles in the world) or any other semi-automatic or even a “scary looking” single shot pistol. I was appalled to see in the officer’s report on the Boulder shooting the misuse of the term, which shows just how successful the anti-gun-lobby has been in bastardizing the definition!

3.            If the shooter hadn’t used an AR-style semi-automatic pistol/rifle in the incident, are there other weapons he could have used? The answer is YES! Here are some examples of very powerful semi-automatic shotguns that don’t look scary but could have indeed been used, with the same tragic effect.

4.            As an aside, it is a fact that the greatest school mass murder in U.S. history was not Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, University of Texas – Austin or Columbine. It was the 1927 Bath, Michigan bombing, which claimed 44 lives, 38 of them children. In other words, a committed murderer has many weapons available to him (or her). If the Boulder shooter didn’t have ready access to a semi-automatic, AR style rifle and was bent on murdering innocent civilians yesterday, he had lots of other options.

5.            If all 300 million-plus guns in the hands of private citizens vanished on a Monday at the snap of a finger, how many guns would there be in America by the end of the week, and in whose hands would they be? The answer, many, and they’d be in the hands of criminals who would have free rein.

6.            While it’s a slogan, it’s nevertheless a true one: “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” While the anti-gun lobby wants you to believe this isn’t true, this article describes just a few, documented examples of this principle. Had another good guy with a gun (officer Eric Tally was obviously one) been present yesterday, how many of the ten lives that were lost might have been saved?

7.            “Of all murders recorded in 2018 by the FBI, rifles accounted for 297 deaths. Handguns accounted for 6,603 deaths, and shotguns and all firearms not described otherwise accounted for 3,365 deaths[ii].”

So when all the hyperventilation and anti-gun rhetoric spews forth over the next days and weeks, quoting directly from the article referenced in the footnote:

“The last point to declare once again and for all is the inarguable fact that prohibits a piecemeal or total gun ban from ever working: A criminal intent on committing a mass shooting, murder, or other crime will not decide against it because he or she must use a handgun, or shotgun, or some other gun instead of an “assault rifle.”

An assault weapon ban never has not changed that and it never will. The only thing a gun ban does is restrict the Second Amendment rights of Americans. To argue a certain type of firearm should be prohibited from ownership by Americans in a factually useless attempt to reduce shootings is to fail to grasp the scope and intent of the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment was not written by those who escaped tyranny for the purpose of hunting. Nor was it written to provide a means for the individual’s self-defense. It was written to ensure American citizens will always have the physical force which might some day be required to once again protect liberty and their Constitutional rights from tyranny. In 2020, perhaps even those on the far left of the political spectrum would concede such a necessity exists.”

The Real Existential Threat

HR1 is every bit as bad as we predicted it would be. Same goes for the other bills the Leftist mob is trying to ram down our throats. There are not enough pejorative adjectives and adverbs to describe the depth of the depravity, their willingness to do anything, say anything to garner power and lord over us.

What is so galling to so many Americans is that the Democrats/Leftists were allowed to not just fraudulently steal the 2020 election, but the two Senate seats in Georgia as well. The GOP were truly deer-in-the-headlights after November 3rd. Had we one even ONE of the seats we would have maintained the Senate majority and had a shot at stopping the onslaught in its tracks. So conniving, so dishonest, so evil is the Cabal’s machine that the honest voters in America never had a chance! Our election officials failed us. Our legislators failed us. Our governors failed us. Even our judiciary at the local, state and federal level, all the way up to the Supreme Court failed us. And the military, whom we hoped would step in, failed us as well. We have only ourselves to blame for this abrogation of adult responsibility!

Obviously the Fourth Estate and Big Tech’s control of social media had a lot to do with this takeover by the Left. As I consciously didn’t watch, listen or read any of the Leftist propaganda during the election cycle I was only in passing aware of how destructive the misinformation and resultant brainwashing was. While the notion that Biden got 80 million + legitimate votes is unadulterated nonsense, that he would get even 50% of that number speaks to how good a job the Cabal did at not just obscuring perception but altering it completely for millions upon millions of gullible, non-thinking voters. And as we all know, perception IS reality. Thus, even committed, traditionalist voters were swayed to vote either for the Democrat ticket, or against Trump. And now look what we’ve got!

We frequently hear the phrase from the oath of office, “…support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.” Who domestic enemies are is defined in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Essentially, it is those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same (the United States) or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

With that background, have the Democrats given aid to enemies of the United States? Are not members of the Obama administration and now the Biden administration doing exactly that by joining or now rejoining the so-called “Iran Nuclear Deal?” Or the Paris Climate Accord? Doesn’t the imposition of draconian lockdowns that damage our industry and commerce weaken us and therefore put us at a disadvantage against our economic and military adversaries? Doesn’t turning our armed forces and intelligence agencies into social engineering experiments similarly weaken us against our enemies? Does the incurring of debt obligations so great that they make us incredibly vulnerable to debt holders who could simply refuse to buy our debt, thus sending interest rates skyrocketing with devastating effect on our economy not qualify as aiding our enemies? Doesn’t creating mass chaos at our Southern Border with all its consequences also aid them?

The conclusion is obvious. It is precisely the Democrat Party and its megalomaniacal leaders who are domestic enemies. They of course continuously and egregiously guilty of projection and claim the opposite – that Republicans, Conservatives, even non-partisans who don’t fall in line behind their woke, socialist, some would say communist, agenda are the domestic enemies. Saul Alinsky is jumping up and down for joy in his grave!

But it is the Democrats altogether, not just the lunatic fringe of the “Squad” and other wackos who are destroying our country right before our eyes. It’s been happening for years…death by a thousand cuts, but in 2020 the leftist Cabal finally achieved what they weren’t able to achieve since Obama’s first term…total control over our politics. Then there was still some lip service paid to written and unwritten rules of political and ethical conduct. Now the Democrats don’t even bother trying to maintain some semblance of patriotism or normalcy. They are completely, radically, unhinged!

With the help of the wokies in the media, who are also domestic enemies, we’ve entered Bizarro-World where lies are truth and truths are lies, good is evil and evil is good, where up is down and down is up…a state fomented by the Democrats all consciously and deliberately intended to ride roughshod over their political opposition, the welfare of our country and its people be damned!

Bottom line is, these Leftist politicians and media types are by their completely visible and transparent actions domestic enemies and by extension represent an existential threat to our republic. Is it any wonder that there is talk of secession and armed rebellion? Until these enemies begin to face consequences for what they’re doing they will continue pushing their idiocy.

The understatement of the moment is, “It’s getting rather sporty out there.” Someone the other day said, “If I hear one more person say, ‘hang in there’, I think I’ll deck him!” We’re way past that. The cavalry (.sic) isn’t coming and we’re going to have to think and act every day like our families’ futures hang in the balance.

They do.

I’ve started using my coffee cup with the slogan “No More Mister Nice Guy” on it. I’m writing checks to every cause supporting freedom and our constitution that I come across. I’m not lowering my voice in restaurants when I speak of the damage the Democrats are doing. I don’t keep my mouth shut anymore when I hear drivel or nonsense come out of the mouth of a wokie. If someone condescendingly tells me to put on my mask I reply, “You’re wearing yours, so you’re protected. I’m protected by common sense and REAL Science! I try to remain civil, but “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.”

The Global Domination Meme

The “GDA”/”Global Domination Agenda”, the “New World Order”, the Illuminati, “The Great Reset”, “Democratic Socialism”, “Cultural Marxism”…all refer to theories that at the core posit that there is a cabal of hyper-wealthy oligarchs arm-linked with elite political figures bent on subjugating and controlling humankind. In my opinion, there isn’t an organized cabal bent on “global domination” per se but rather an uncoordinated group of “holier than thou” utopian fantasy nuts believing in a state where we “can all just get along,” where there is no poverty, or illness, rancor, jealousy, crime, competing religion…you get the idea.

Not a global, unified plot on the part of these oligarchs, there is nevertheless a common arrogance that stems from wealth and success that gives people like Gates and Soros, etc. the mistaken notion that they know what’s best for society. Even the modestly-living Buffett is not immune.

With a blend of misguided altruism, (i.e. “if we control everything we can make the world a better place for all”) on one hand and a pre-occupation with power for power’s sake (a psychological state of megalomaniacal socio-pathology) on the other, this SPECTRE-like group (see James Bond) don’t meet in secret so much as rub shoulders at the Bilderberg and Davos meetings and arrive at similar conclusions and adopt similar strategies because of the human disposition towards Groupthink.

These are human beings subject to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, at the top of which is Self-Actualization. Once one has so much money that there is nothing more to buy, self-actualization or self-fulfillment comes from talking about and instigating activities and events that affirm their infinite wisdom. It takes the exercise of power and the delusion that one is smarter than 99.9% of the rest of humanity to feed their egos.

Warped, social-paraplegic geeks like Gates, Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Bezos use the platforms handed to them to preach their nonsensical ideas, ideas that would never apply to them of course, because they are “above all that”. In a wonderful display of one-upmanship, they in a sense compete with one another to see who can “do the most” for the peons.

With this wealth, power and influence the oligarchs naturally adopt/assume/gravitate to the role of benevolent dictator. They learned quickly that to try to convince thinking people of the merit of their idiotic ideas is exhausting. So they rapidly default to simply making pronouncements from on high, paying people off to do their bidding, and summon the press to spew their diktats. It’s easier to command than to convince.

Meanwhile the media: attention-craving, narcissistic spotlight hounds that they are, scrambling to climb the ladder, desperate for recognition good or bad, willing to step on anyone or anything that impedes their rise, take every opportunity to hang out with the oligarchs and political celebrities in hopes their glow will reflect upon them. Anything they can say or do which advances the canon preached by the oligarchs and curry their favor they will do, truth and good be damned. They are the chief enablers of these utopian elites.

In the other, non-business sphere (although they frequently mesh together), under the heading of elite political figures, Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, Gaddafi, Hussein (Saddam, not Barack…) (on second thought…maybe Barack as well – but more on that later)…all are examples of politically/militarily successful demagogues who consciously or unconsciously, effectively or de facto assumed the ‘benevolent dictator’ role.

Today, combining the likes of the Gates, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Bezos, Soros, etc. crowd with megalomaniacal celebrity politicians like Schumer, Pelosi, Sanders, Trudeau, and of course Harris, and their acolytes/puppet-masters like Susan Rice, makes for toxic soup.

I deliberately leave out Biden because he’s really a non-entity anachronism/placeholder without any real power aspirations – just the desire to make it through another day without keeling over. As an aside, it’s his wife who’s the megalomaniac, just like Michelle.

With the oligarchs and the politicians singing the same tune, here we have both pathologies: utopian fantasy and power mega acting in concert. And the woke sheep, equally needful of ego-food, nod and worship them and their ideas. “Hey, they MUST be right, they’re so rich and/or powerful!

History teaches that this doesn’t end well. Unfortunately, it takes cataclysmic events like wars and revolutions to unseat these eternally destructive ideas and the demagogues who perpetrate them.

A lot of damage gets done in the meantime. Examples: HR 1 – the bill that would institutionalize voter fraud and guarantee Democrat power retention; the so-called “Equality Act” that would shred any remaining gender definition; the pork-laden $1.9 TRILLION (yes, that’s with a T) COVID Relief bill that is unnecessary but doles out favors to democrat constituencies; the gutting of our energy self-sufficiency in genuflection to the god of environmentalism and THE CANCELLATION OF DR. SEUSS for Pete’s sake!

Right now the cauldron is bubbling…the American people KNOW the train is falling off the track. The flak in the air is so thick it’s impossible to navigate the near future without peril. Secession and armed rebellion are topics seriously being discussed, and the globalist oligarchs and politicians contemplate whether they moved too fast/pushed too hard as they stir their martinis and laugh all the way to the bank.

Everyone is afraid to speak of armed rebellion – it’s not politically correct and a direct affront to the Leftist agenda to suggest it. I can’t even count how may times I hear every day some politician or pundit saying something like “Violence in any form is wrong and cannot be tolerated.” All the while, LEFTIST violence and destruction IS ROUTINELY TOLERATED! Could we be headed to armed rebellion?

Is there are strategic plot to subjugate the world’s population à la George Orwell? I think not, but there’s no doubt the megaphones of wokeism and cancel culture are blaring, the hounds of hell have been unleashed, the cancer of utopian leftism is rapidly metastasizing, and the steamrollers of oppression are belching smoke (at least until they make electric ones) from their exhausts.

If the Left keeps this up, it’s just a matter of time before “the common folk” truly rebel against the sick depravity and evil they’re trying to force upon us.
