Perhaps Attorney General Merrick "Gestapo" Garland and FBI Director Christopher "Wicked" Wray are still concentrating on the possible "domestic terrorists" that attend school board meetings and ask legitimate questions about the curriculum being taught their children.

When people tell you that they are going to kill you, perhaps you should take it seriously. This applies to guys with a few screws coming loose in their brains, or Muslims, equally.

Liberal solution. Confiscate the guns of sane law abiding Americans. Do not lock up the loonies, as they need our respect and support.

It sounds like this was reported to someone who should have, at the very least, reported up the line. For whatever reason, the individual was identified, but no action was taken. This was a preventable tragedy. Whoever failed to act needs to get a black mark on his record at the very minimum.

No, the point is that this horrific incident was perfect for "Joe's" handlers to browbeat the confiscation of guns again. "Gun Violence" is absurd. There has to be a human (you know, opposable thumbs) to pull the trigger. It is an intentional act. Period.

The purpose of the Red/Yellow Flag laws is to restrict gun ownership; to have an excuse to confiscate guns from law abiding citizens. They are great revenge tools for divorces, or prosecutors for add-on charges in unrelated cases. When actual incidences arise with someone reaching their "snap" moment; fallible human beings in the system fail in their duties. Their responsibilities under these laws are not on their day-to-day radar. This shooter's supervisors did their job; they referred him to mental health evaluation. The big breakdown seems to be at the psychiatric evaluation. What is the staff/patient ratio? How often are the doctors refreshed on notification procedures of possible violent-prone people? The family notified their local law enforcement. Why didn't they act? Were they afraid? Did they have procedures in place to do so? Were they just too busy and forgot? This terrible tragedy is the fault of human frailty on every front. But it is also a glaring example that Red/Yellow Flag laws are useless as to their purported purpose, and yet they pose a continuing threat to the Second Amendment rights of every American. They must be repealed.

If threats weren't taken seriously then the Army (as in taxpayers) will pay just as we did when the Air Force didn't keep the wacko from shooting up that church in Texas several years ago.

Someone should have noticed and done something to stop this. That said, I am no fan of red flag laws because of the potential abuse. Your crazy ex-wife say you are locked and loaded and you end up with a SWAT team breaking down your door and throwing flash-bangs through your windows. It’s a a fine line, protect us from the nuts or have your neighbor call in SWAT because he didn’t like the smoke from your barbecue grill.

During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has flowed to LGBT initiatives in the United States and around the world, an Epoch Times investigation has revealed. From Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2023, the U.S. government issued more than 1,100 grants to fund LGBT-promoting projects around the world, according to a review of a federal spending website. The scope of projects varies widely. Plans to create a "safe space for LGBTQ youth and adults to seek support and resources" earned a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. government in 2022 for the LGBT Life Center in Norfolk, Virginia.

Joe Biden has famously “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” and, as I write in my New York Times bestselling book, Breaking Biden, he has no one but himself to blame. That said, Biden has not surrounded himself by the most capable minds our country has to offer. (snip)Sullivan should be fired yesterday.

More than 100 years ago, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes observed that popular catchwords can stunt critical thinking for 50 years or more. In his latest book, Social Justice Fallacies, revered economist and scholar Thomas Sowell confirms Holmes’ observation by examining the buzzwords that self-described “social justice” proponents commonly use today. He shows that, despite many years — and in some cases even centuries or more — of evidence revealing these words to be nonsense, our media and cultural elites continue touting them in utter defiance of facts.

On Oct. 17, CNN’s Bianna Golodryga interviewed the filmmaker behind “Last Flight Home,” a daughter’s chronicle of her father’s final days before euthanasia. Ondi Timoner, who made the film about the late Eli Timoner, described her father’s sudden decision to die by choice rather than naturally from his terminal illness.(snip)Timoner’s impulse to support and love her dying father was a beautiful desire but sadly misdirected by the haze of lies surrounding euthanasia. Twelve U.S. states are considering legalizing euthanasia in 2023, and another 10 states currently permit it. Canada recently expanded its euthanasia program to people who are not physically ill.

Hamas-shielding AP inadvertently drew attention to the history of Israel’s ceasefires with Palestinians — pauses in a 76-year war. Palestinians use ceasefires to reload before breaking the truce by attacking Israel again. Israel reloads as well as it plans counterattacks. AP has sided with the Palestinians for as long as I can remember. For over a decade, its bureau in Gaza City provided cover for Hamas — the latest name for Palestine’s terrorist army. Hamas governs Gaza. The continuing war against Israel has brought Shi’as (who back Hezbollah) together with Sunnis (Hamas) to fight a common enemy — Jews.

Stalled in polls and buffeted by bad headlines, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s underperforming presidential campaign got a major lift Sunday with the announcement that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds would endorse him. By itself, an endorsement of one politician by another is often of extremely limited value in a campaign, but Reynolds is highly popular with Republican voters in Iowa and she has a reputation for hard work — one who could do a more effective job of translating DeSantis’s appeal to her state voters than he has to date.

The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”

Special counsel Jack Smith's team filed a lengthy response Monday to former President Donald Trump's motions to dismiss his federal election interference case on statutory and constitutional grounds, saying the former president "stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes." Trump's lawyers have filed multiple motions to dismiss the Jan. 6 case, including mounting arguments that the charges brought against him were unconstitutionally applied and ran afoul of the charging statutes. Trump in August pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations,"

The result: In five of those states, all except Wisconsin, Trump led Biden. The poll found Trump leading by 10 points in Nevada, by 6 in Georgia, 5 in Arizona and Michigan, and 4 in Pennsylvania
