Texas Gun Control Makes Bar Patrons Sitting Ducks
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/2/2026 1:33:08 PM
The horrific shooting at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in Austin shines a light on a gun control in Texas that prevents even licensed concealed carriers from being armed for self-defense in a bar setting. Texas has a gun culture that is second to none, but the Lone Star State also has a “51 percent” law that makes it illegal for law-abiding concealed carriers to be armed in an establishment that derives at least 51 percent of its money from alcohol sales. The San Antonio Report noted: The 51 percent sign is a gun control sign established in 1993 to protect bar owners.

A massive Iranian, pro-USA demonstration took over Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday afternoon after the US and Israel toppled Iran’s Supreme Leader.
The US and Israel eliminated Iran’s Supreme Leader and more than 40 senior regime leaders in a joint military operation this weekend.
Iranians all over the world are celebrating the military operation.
After 47 years, Iran’s Islamic Regime has finally fallen.
On Sunday, demonstrators in Los Angeles chanted “USA!” as they waved American flags and Israeli flags.
Masih Alinejad, the courageous Iranian-American journalist and current CBS News contributor who has survived multiple Tehran-backed assassination plots, took to X to expose the staggering hypocrisy of “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
Alinejad, who recently faced her would-be assassins in a New York federal court, did not hold back.
She issued a “letter from an Iranian woman wounded by the regime,” accusing Omar of maintaining a cozy ambiguity toward the Islamic Republic while the regime systematically slaughters its own people.
The heart of Alinejad’s message centered on the tragic story of Sara Saeidi, a 39-year-old mother of two who was executed by the regime while peacefully protesting.
Teeth-gnashing Democrats have been whining and hitting CNN at every opportunity to criticize Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran that took out virtually their entire command structure, saying that the mission is illegal and demanding that it stop until Congress can vote on authorizing it.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), however, had some fresh reminders that such operations are nothing new, and in fact, the Dems’ idol, former President Barack Obama, helped bring down Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, and Thomas Jefferson sent the U.S. Navy and Marines to the Mediterranean to take on the Barbary pirates in 1801.
While Leftists across the world are mourning the death of the Ayatollah Khamenei, Iranian Sky News Australia anchor Rita Panahi has a much different message for the deceased tyrant.
"I want to conclude this editorial with this message to the late supreme leader," Panahi said, before speaking in Persian. [Tweet, video] (Snip) It was a welcome change from places like the Washington Post, which lamented Khamenei and his "bushy white beard and easy smile" as a man who was "fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels."
Right, so he may have killed tens of thousands of Iranians, but he kind of looked like Santa and never missed book club.
The Department of War announced last night that Secretary Hegseth would be holding a press conference this morning to update the nation on Operation Epic Fury, the U.S.-Israel-led joint strikes on the Iranian government. [Tweet]
In the first 12 hours of the strikes, which launched overnight Friday into Saturday, joint forces dropped nearly 1,000 bombs and missiles on specific targets in and around Iran, including military targets and infrastructure.
They also took out 40 members of the Iranian government, including the Ayatollah Khamenei.
Sadly, three U.S. service members were killed, and five more were seriously wounded yesterday.
Asymmetrical warfare means applying the strengths you have against an overwhelming enemy’s weaknesses. The goat sex pest mullahs have been utterly humiliated by America's and Israel’s overwhelming military superiority in conventional forces, with our airplanes, drones, and other systems traversing their airspace at will after we established total air supremacy. Our ships sail the seas, unthreatened and unchallenged, while most of the Iranian Navy morphs into submarines. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t have the capacity to strike back, and that doesn’t mean that we don’t have potential weaknesses. Everybody has weaknesses. Ours is located in the United States itself, our homeland,

What is fresh hell is this?
The media's coverage was terrible when Trump once turned Qasem Soleimani into ash, so it’s no surprise they react similarly to the death of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He was killed in the first wave of airstrikes Saturday morning, which effectively weakened the Iranian regime.
So, of course, the major publications are posting obituaries about this clown, which is a waste of ink and space, but whatever. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think you were reading the Babylon Bee, an elite satire site, but no—this is the real deal from The Washington Post.
Operations are still underway over and around Iran on Sunday, and the United States and Israel are well on their way to not only owning the skies over Iran, but the waters around it. On that morning, President Trump took to his Truth Social account to inform us that at least nine Iranian navy craft have now found new berths at the bottom of the ocean. [Tweet]
The president wrote:

Kamala Harris has joined other far-left Dems by stating that she doesn’t support regime change in Iran.
The former vice president posted her critique of Operation Epic Fury and President Donald Trump shortly after Saturday’s attack began.
Harris described the attack as “a war American people do not want.”
Her statement comes despite Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei being wiped out in his fortified compound along with 40 top Iranian security and regime figures. “Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice,
Last week Tucker Carlson met with President Trump in the White House where he urged the US President to hold back on attacking Iran. Tucker made the request last week during his visit with President Trump in the Oval Office.
Here is video of Tucker Carlson entering the White House for an earlier meeting with President Trump. President Trump ignored his advice and took out Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his top officials in a military strike on Saturday.
Later today, Jon Karl reported that Tucker called the US strikes on Iraan “disgusting and evil.”
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — a polarizing hardliner who became the face of Tehran’s nuclear defiance and incendiary anti-Israel rhetoric — was reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes during Saturday’s strikes inside Iran.
A report by the Israeli media outlet Ma’ariv stated that Ahmadinejad was under house arrest at the time and was killed in a targeted strike on his home.Ahmadinejad served as Iran’s sixth president from 2005 to 2013, rising from relative obscurity as mayor of Tehran to defeat establishment figure Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in a surprise 2005 runoff.
Critics at home and abroad described him as a confrontational ideologue whose economic management —

The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US airstrike has brought new urgency to the question of who will become Iran’s new Supreme Leader.
Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the Islamic Republic's founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, is a prominent figure in these deliberations and is seen as a relative moderate within the establishment.
Mr Khomeini, 53, holds a symbolically important role as custodian of his grandfather's mausoleum and has close ties to reformist politicians.
Some politicians inside Iran have seen him as a rival to hardliners who gained sway under Ayatollah Khamenei, notably his son, Mojtaba.
Americans woke up Saturday morning to the news that the United States and Israel unleashed a coordinated strike, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, leveling key Iranian military sites and taking out much of the regime’s top brass. Among the dead is none other than Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It was a good day for the Middle East and the world.
Except for the Democrats.
Almost instantly, Democrats in Washington started howling, calling the strikes “illegal,” “dangerous,” and “reckless.” They claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t consult Congress. You’d think they’d be cheering the demise of one of the world’s most dangerous tyrants, but no. For the left, this wasn’t a victory against terror.

Although there’s been a reduction in the number of ICE agents in Minnesota, community activists say the fear of ICE still prevails and restaurants continue to lose business. That’s why dozens of people gathered to eat at several immigrant-owned restaurants along Central Avenue in northeast Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon. Some of the businesses included El Taco Riendo, Holy Land and The Golden Nuts. “The reason that we wanted to do this action was to show support for immigrant businesses that are really struggling even after the supposed draw-down,” Jae Yates of Twin Cities Coalition for Justice.

Most of us are familiar with the term “the fog of war” to describe the gauzy details that emerge in the breaking news environment of an outbreak of hostilities. Originally, it had been a description applied to military matters, but in the past generation or so, it has expanded to include the information pathways that emerge when conflicts erupt. What we have sadly come to expect is that news outlets are often the ones operating a fog machine as news breaks.This being a common occurrence, and also due to the sensitivities attached to the activity,
The UK has agreed to a US request to use British military bases for "defensive" strikes on Iranian missile sites, Sir Keir Starmer has said.
But the prime minister said the UK had learned lessons from the "mistakes of Iraq", and was not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and "will not join offensive action now".
Sir Keir said the basis of the decision to accept the US request was the "collective self-defence" of allies and protecting British lives, accusing Iran of pursuing a "scorched-earth strategy".
The BBC understands the US is likely to use RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean for strikes on Iranian missile sites.
The conflict between the United States, Israel and the Islamist regime in Iran could result in terror blowback across Europe, German security officials have warned.
The chairman of the Bundestag’s Parliamentary Control Committee (PKGr), which oversees Germany’s intelligence services, warned on Sunday in comments reported by Die Welt that “retaliatory measures” by pro-Iranian regime terrorists, including “sleeper cells in Europe”, could not be ruled out.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Ministry of Interior said, “The Iranian regime has repeatedly demonstrated in the past that it carries out its terror beyond its own borders.

The regime of the imams is trying to show defiance after the crushing blow of Khamenei’s death.
While many observers look for ‘offramps’ for the US, Israel and Iran to cease the war that’s setting the whole Middle East on fire, signs on the ground suggest the hostilities may go on for a long time.
Following the death of its supreme spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranians have raised the ‘red flag of revenge’ above the Jamkaran Mosque, located in the city of Qom. “According to several media reports, a red banner, which symbolizes justice and revenge in Shiite tradition, was seen atop the Jamkaran Mosque.
