Enforce our Bill of Rights
Daily Beast – February 28, 2018
In 2016, NRA-endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump won the presidency after many months of insisting that his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton was going to grab your guns.
In February 2018, President Trump publicly called for a subversion of due process, and for the government to “take the guns first.” Continue reading “Trump Goes Gun Grabber, Prompting White House Clean-Up”
Consequence of Sound – by Randall Colburn
You’d think we’d be past the point of old people rapping in an effort to win over the youngs, but, lest we forget, Saturday Night Live sought to “humanize” Donald Trump by having him undulate to a Drake song a few years ago. In a video that will have you cringing your backwards baseball cap off, the Utah House of Representatives just released a clip of them rapping about the process of turning a bill into a law and, for fuck’s sake, it’s even worse than it sounds.

Authorities in San Francisco released body camera videos on Tuesday of a dramatic shootout in which police officers fired their weapons at least 65 times in 15 seconds at a murder suspect.
The San Francisco Police Department said the shooting happened on Feb. 17 in the city’s Mission Bay neighborhood when officers confronted 31-year-old homicide suspect Joel Armstrong inside an RV at a homeless encampment. Continue reading “San Francisco cops fire 65 shots in 15 seconds at murder suspect in dramatic video”

I’m sure all of you are aware of the dramatic power play pulled off over the weekend by China’s Communist Party to eliminate term limits for both the president and vice president. Prior to the move, Chinese leaders have stuck to two five-year terms since the presidency of Jiang Zemin (1993-2003), but that’s about to change as wannabe emperor Xi Jinping positions himself as indefinite ruler of the increasingly totalitarian superstate.
While the weekend announcement was illuminating enough, I found the panicked reactions by Chinese authorities in the immediate aftermath far more telling. The country’s propagandists took censorship to such an embarrassing level in attempts to portray the decision as widely popular amongst the masses, it merely served to betray that opposite might be true.

President Trump asked Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to add her “assault weapons” ban to the overarching school safety bill during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers on Wednesday.
Feinstein’s bill, which is an enhanced reintroduction of a bill she has put forward again and again, bans over 200 different firearms. Continue reading “President Trump Asks Dianne Feinstein to Add ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban to School Safety Bill”
A North Carolina man was fatally shot while streaming on Facebook Live. Prentis Robinson, 55, was gunned down roughly one block from police headquarters where he had just stopped to report a stolen cell phone, according to Wingate Police Chief Donnie Gay.
According to NBC News, the suspect, 65-year-old Douglas Cleveland Colson, surrendered Tuesday to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, according to Gay. Colson, a lifelong Wingate resident, has been arrested before. Gay said that Robinson was one of nine kids. Aside from a brief move to Atlanta, Robinson had lived in North Carolina his entire life and had become well known for Facebook videos in which he took “it upon himself to clean up this area.” Continue reading “Man Was Shot Dead On Facebook Live, Suspect Detained”

The Southern Poverty Law Center is assisting YouTube in policing content on their platform, The Daily Caller has learned.
The left-wing nonprofit — which has more recently come under fire for labeling legitimate conservative organizations as “hate groups” — is one of the more than 100 nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and government agencies in YouTube’s “Trusted Flaggers” program, a source with knowledge of the arrangement told TheDC.

The Communist Dictator Trump declares: “Take the guns first, go through due process second”
Going through due process second absolutely removes due process, as due process absolutely requires going to court through a process affording the due process described in the Bill of Rights and filling every requirement therein before any person or any person’s property can be seized. This government has never had the authority under any pretense to take this kind of action against any American national, as this would be raw tyranny on its face.
President Trump told a group of lawmakers that they must do something to keep guns away from mentally ill individuals – even if that means raising the minimum age for rifle ownership to 21, Bloomberg reports.
