Anti American left

Experts

The left are experts on everything. Now they hit every wrong answer on use of force in the comments here:

  • Just shoot to wound
  • shoot/use club to knock knife out of hand
  • only shoot once, all he has is a knife
  • he is too far away to hurt anyone
  • he is outnumbered and the cops have body armor. The cops should Taser or tackle him

That’s as far as I could get before spraining my eye from rolling it so hard. This is a group of people who have never tried to deescalate a crazy or intoxicated person. This is why women and maggots shouldn’t be able to vote- they don’t reason, they emote.

Lowering the Bar

Remember when the left wanted to tax the rich? In liberal states, they are redefining rich downward– anyone making $125,000 a year will be taxed a state rate of 9.9% in Oregon. New York is going after those who make more than $125,000. Washington is adding wealth taxes to an ever lower amount of income.

Now they are even talking about stealing 5% of someone’s total net worth- on top of all of the other taxes.

Here is what Peter Schiff had to say about that, and it’s one of my favorite quotes:

If you tax 70% of what I make above a certain amount, what I am going to do once I hit that amount is simply take the rest of the year off, and furlough all of my employees. See you in February.

Promises Made

Susan Rice, President Biden’s domestic policy chief, is promising revenge against the voters, business executives, and appointees who support President Donald Trump.

In an interview this week, Rice declared that supporters of Trump can expect the proverbial knocks on their doors: “A very prominent public figure, who has served at nearly the very highest levels, once told me … ‘Revenge is best served cold,’ and the older I get, the more I see the wisdom of that.” She added: When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media … it’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore, is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump.

They hate you and want you dead. Don’t forget that, as they compare you to NAZIs, Fascists, and call you deplorable, once they regain power as they eventually will, they will begin hunting down, killing, and imprisoning those with whom they disagree.

It’s coming, and all the election of Trump has done is create a small, temporary speed bump in their plans.

51 Days

Mayor of New York Mamdani was elected with Socialist promises of free ice cream and a socialist utopia, with a solemn promise of making the rich pay for it. It only took 51 days for him to float the first tax increase on people who aren’t rich.

“This would effectively be a tax on working and middle class New Yorkers, who have a median income of $122,000,” he said

That amount of money is not much in New York. The people making $122k isn’t a lot of money. The proposed tax hike? A 9.5% increase in property taxes. This is why I keep saying New Yorkers need to stay there, and stop moving to Florida where they vote for more of the same policies that made them come here in the first place.

Second Amendment

I’m going to chime in on the ICE shooting of Pretti. Not the shooting itself, but in the left’s sudden discovery and defense of the Second Amendment. They, along with some on the right, are saying ICE shouldn’t shoot people merely for practicing their RKBA. That isn’t what happened.

You have a right to keep and bear arms. You have a right to peaceably assemble for a redress of your grievances. What you don’t have is the right to use that weapon in furtherance of your scheme to break the law. As an example, let’s look at a recent shooting in the Central Florida area.

An Osceola County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a shoplifting suspect inside a Walmart on Thursday after the man pulled a gun and was running through the store. Does he have a right to carry a gun? Yes. Did he have a right to do so while breaking the law? No. Did it get his ass shot? It seems so.

Now apply this to Pretti. Did he have a right to carry a gun? Yes. Did he have a right to peaceably assemble? Yes. Does peaceable assembly include interfering with police activity or arrests? No. Does interfering with police activity while armed greatly increase the chances of a cop shooting you? Yes, yes it does.

The takeaway here is that, if you DO decide to break the law while armed, you have to be willing to accept this: If you are interfering with police carrying out their duties, you are no longer an observer or a protester, you are a participant. If you do so while armed, you are a combatant. Being a combatant, you no longer get to say that you are merely protesting, observing, or acting as a “medic.”

Doomed to Repeat It

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. That quote isn’t apparently known by the local media, as Osceola county schools are catching hell from local media outlets for “showing a picture of Hitler” on the morning school announcements. Here is the picture that they are complaining about (the censoring isn’t my doing)

This picture was placed in the announcements was done as a part of “today in history” and is, in my opinion, a valid use of the picture, as it is being done in a context of teaching history. It was not placed there to celebrate Hitler or his ideals in any way. This is pure leftist pearl clutching.

Get the App

Yes, this is how you weaponize their idiocy. Get on their apps, use those apps as weapons against them. Here is one of the apps, get on it and report ICE wherever you think it will decrease the signal to noise ratio.
