and much to my amazement, I found pallets of prohibited items!

Carolyn McCarthy is a name that should strike fear into the hearts of gun owners everywhere.  She was known as “the gun lady” and was the most ardent anti-gun member of Congress for a long time.  She ran entirely on a platform of gun control and her singular goal in Congress was to impose as much gun control as she could could.

She ran for Congress and got elected because her husband was a victim of the 1993 Long Island Rail Road massacre.

That’s sad and tragic, but she took her grief and did her best to collectively punish America’s law abiding gun owners because of it.  She often employed guilt as her motivating tactic.  Begging other law makers to pass gun control to “let [her] go home.”  She finally retired after nine terms in office, having done nothing but fight for gun control.

The Democrats, it seems, have found their next Carolyn McCarthy.

Lucy McBath’s son was Jordan Davis, who was killed by Michael Dunn in a bad shoot in Jacksonville.  He is one of the VPC’s “concealed carry killers” and has been a stain on the FL CCW system.

After the Parkland shooting, she became motivated to run for Congress and now McBath has won the Democrat primary in GA-6.

Of course, winning a primary is now the Democrat standard for monumental success an rising stardom.  Praise is being heaped on her and she is being compared to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  That is apt as she knows virtually nothing but is full of righteous anger.

The good news is that GA-6 has not elected a Democrat to Congress in 40 years.

The bad news is that she is a black woman with a murdered son drawing on every intersectional victim and sympathy point she can.  It’s going to be hard to debate her without the media dumping on Rep Handel for “attacking the mother of a murder victim.”

There is noting worse than a single issue Congressperson, especially on gun control.

The gun owners of GA-6 are going to have to come out this election and vote for Handel.

I fell bad for what this woman went through.  But the death of her son is not a reason to strip the rights of millions of gun owners across the nation.

David Hogg retweeted this from Shannon Watts.

In @RollingStone, country music singer Eric Church calls out the @NRA for being a "roadblock" to gun reform: “…we could have stopped the guy in Vegas. I blame the lobbyists. And the biggest in the gun world is the NRA.” https://t.co/H91GROqo3m

I have no idea who Eric Church is so I turned to Google to look him up.

These were my first two search hits:

Fox News: Eric Church says NRA is to blame for Las Vegas festival mass shooting

Rolling Stone: Eric Church on Meeting Obama: ‘Found Him Nothing But Great’

After a bit more scrolling, I found out he’s a country music singer.

Country.  Music.  Singer.

Does this dumb ass know what happened to the Dixie Chicks when they insulted George W. Bush?

He’s blamed the NRA for a mass killing and praised Obama, and he’s a country music singer.

Does he know what a typical country music fan is like or where country music is most popular?

Here’s a map of the popularity of country music by YouTube music video searches:

Here is a map of the counties Trump won:

Notice anything?

Yeah…  I hope this Eric Church guy has his money properly invested because his record sales are about to go to shit.

Go Woke, Go Broke.

No idea where this happened. But, damn! By that asshole’s T-Shirt we can guess he is not of the Conservative vein.

In reality, your straw usage has almost no impact on the ocean whatsoever. That’s partly because the “500 million straws a day statistic” is invented, and partly because the United States as a whole contributes very, very little to the plastic waste problem.

WALSH: Quit The Hysterics. America Is Responsible For Almost None Of The Plastic In The Ocean.

But it is unimpossible!  The statistics say we are the worst of the worst and Americans are killing the oceans!

About 60% of the plastic in the Ocean comes from five Asian countries: China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. Indonesia’s Citarum River, the most polluted river on Earth, is essentially a massive trash heap on a giant aquatic conveyor belt. Every day, 20,000 tons of waste and 340,000 tons of wastewater are dumped into it and then ferried to the ocean. In places like Vietnam, plastic in the water is the least of anyone’s concerns. Raw sewage is discharged directly into water ways, turning the rivers toxic.

I invite you to read the rest of the article. It is short and quite illuminating.

I don’t watch The View, but apparently Meghan McCain is now one of the hosts.  She got into it with Joy Behar about how bad socialism is, to which Joy Behar kept naming Scandinavian countries because she’s a fucking idiot who doesn’t understand the difference between socialism and a Liberal Democracy with a large welfare state and ethnic mono-culture.

Just read this Bloomberg article aptly titled “You Can’t Have Denmark Without Danes.”  The short answer is in Miguel’s post on physics.  As long as a nation has people in it who will take the “free water” cup and try to fill it with soda it won’t be able to be stable with a large welfare state.

Meghan McCain lit into socialism and Soledad O’Brien thought she’s dog pile on the criticism of McCain on Twitter.

Full on freak out https://t.co/rVl5HogBur

Hi @MeghanMcCain ! I have a (busy!) life—four kids, run a small business, anchor some tv shows, been an award winning journalist for a minute (not to brag ❤️). Watch you’re video. You were having a full-fledged freak out. It undermined your argument. You should work on that. https://t.co/yDUFjQ6QE3

— Soledad O'Brien (@soledadobrien) July 25, 2018

Yeah, that’s it McCain is upset that Behar has a head full if shit and the Left is looking at Venezuela with bedroom eyes, but it’s not the insane Left that’s the problem.  It’s McCain losing her cool.

Shannon Watts sensed that someone was being a bigger piece of shit than her on Twitter and had to reclaim her title.

As a white person who was born on third base, it‘s pretty infuriating to me when even more privileged white people like Meghan McCain don’t acknowledge that they born three inches from home plate.

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) July 26, 2018

What the fuck does that even mean?  Does Shannon really believe that he who dies with the most stuff wins?  Also, what is her scale?

O’Brien made $3 Million per year over at CNN.  Then there were book sales and other fees on top of that.  She makes in 12 days what I make in a year, so where on the diamond am I?  Then again I’m a white male so clearly I must be ahead of brown(ish) woman O’Brien somehow.

What that is, is ridiculous stupid, far Left horseshit.

The truth is that the reason O’Brien, Watts, and Behar don’t fear socialism is the same reason that Nancy Pelosi wants to raise taxes, Bernie Sanders like socialism, and Barack Obama can say other people’s houses are too big.

They are rich and well connected enough to protect themselves from the downsides of socialism.

Good for McCain.  Good for her lashing out.

Tell me how I have to be taxed into losing my house and my truck so that a bunch of people who have been camping in garbage, harassing Federal law enforcement, and shitting on the streets of Portland can get a guaranteed $15/hour Federal job.

Personally if I were a guest of The View, I’d remind them of one of the bravest men in history, Otoya Yamaguchi.

That’s patriotism. When someone tried to turn your nation socialist, you run them through with a sword.
