According to Bernie Sanders’ “Field Organizers,” Gulags were nice places for re-education and other communist follies

No more clearer evidence they want you in cattle cars going East. Gulags not as bad as the CIA said? How about what survivors of the gulags left for the record? I would not be surprised if Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn came out of his grave just to rip the head off that moron.

My jumbled thoughts on Megxit

I’m sorry if this post seems disjointed, but I had a bunch of loosely connected thoughts on this and thought it would probably be best as just one long post.

If like most Americans, you haven’t heard of Megxit, it’s okay.  Allow me to fill you in.  Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are stepping down from their royal duties and want to live in Canada.  Apparently this is something that Markle as been pushing hard.

The Queen is not happy about this and is about to unload on Harry.  Considering how the Queen just had to eject Prince Andrew from the Royalty, Harry’s wanting to leave has probably pissed her off to no end.

I honestly feel bad for the Queen.  I don’t know what magical powers Markel’s vagina has, but I hope whatever spell it has cast over Prince Harry breaks soon and he leaves her and goes back to the Royal Family.

Here’s why.

I love tradition.  Perhaps it is this love of tradition that makes me a conservative.  One of the things significant to me about being Jewish is that I can trace some of my traditions back over 5,000 years.

Tradition ties us to the past, it shows us where we came from and guides us towards the future.  Traditions do not appear out of nowhere.  They are based on a pattern of success.  If something works, you do it again.  If you do it again long enough, it becomes a tradition.

As a lover of military history, I am enthralled with military tradition.  My favorite have always come from the navy, and had I not gone to a landlocked college, I probably joined the navy.  The navy, and seamanship in general, is full of tradition.  The sea is a dangerous place, especially when it was just people sailing in wooden ships.  Traditions kept sailors alive when they were hundreds or thousands of miles from land, with nothing but the ocean and sky and what they had on their boat for weeks and months on end.

The monarchy is nothing but tradition.

As an American, I do not bow before a monarchy.  That does not stop me from respecting the tradition of the monarchy overseas.  The British Crown can trace its history back to Alfred the Great, who ruled the Anglo-Saxons from 886 to 899.

The monarchal tradition is core to the British identity.  The British have rallied around the concept of “for King/Queen and Country” for hundreds of years.

I have had a lot of respect for Prince Harry.  He was an Apache helicopter gunship pilot.  He killed insurgents in Afghanistan.  The greatest kings of England fought alongside their troops.  Kings were expected to don armor and fight, to lead from the front.  I always felt Harry followed well in that tradition, even if he never expected to be King.

Then comes Meghan Markle.  She’s an American, so she doesn’t understand the royal tradition.  She’s a rootless Hollywood celebrity.  The only tradition there is that of the casting couch.  She is also a Progressive, which means that to her, tradition is evil.  It’s the product of systematic racism and sexism.

Most Americans do not understand the British royalty.  What they do or what their jobs are.  The monarchy is the anchor that holds the British fast to being British.

In American, when pop culture uses the term “royalty,” to describe American’s they mean fame, fortune, and lavish lifestyles.  Not duty, honor, and country.

The Kardashians are “American royalty” which means they live in big mansions and have servants.  It would never dawn on a Kardashian to give up the mansion to go to the military academy to go to the desert and fight because that is what is expected of him by his bloodline.

Markle was a third rate TV actress, never destined to be a Kardashian level “American royalty.”

She starts dating Prince Harry and here is her shot to be a royal.  But she doesn’t understand what that means.  She doesn’t understand that there are rules and expectations.  She wants to be “American royalty” as an actual British royal.

She wants to use the monarchy as a platform to push all of her Progressive bullshit.  She wants to jump onto every bit of social activism and be popular with the Progressive bubble on Twitter.  She doesn’t want to raise her son in the tradition of princes and kings that have served England for over a thousand years.  She wants to raise him in the style of gender-neutral parenting popular with her famous dipshit Hollywood friends.

This is not what the Royalty is supposed to do.  The Queen doesn’t like her doing this kind of shit and wants her to tamp it down.  So what does Markle do?  She convinces Harry to give up everything and move to Canada so they can be Twitter famous Kardashian like royals.

Why not America, which is Markle’s homeland?  Because not while Trump is President, if you want to know what kind of piece of shit she is.

I’m just curious how long Harry will put up with this shit?  He was not much for the spotlight before.  It seemed that he was happier in the military than doing the royal thing.  I don’t know how he will handle expecting to be the husband of a Kardashian wannabe.

Personally, I think he would be happier divorcing Markle, taking their son back to England and for him to do something like become an instructor at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

I just want to know how long it will take for him to figure that out.

And I just want to point this out again, everything Progressives touch turns to shit.  In this case, the royal family.

Virginia and the Second Amendment Sanctuary Movement.

Let me preface this post stating my renewed admiration for the Virginia Citizens Defense League, a group I have posted about and considered the smartest State Pro Gun group in the nation.

With that out of the way, I want to give my opinion about the Second Amendment Sanctuary Movement: It should have never come to this and although I am not knowledgeable about Virginia, I am willing to bet that Gun Owners fell asleep at the switch when election time came around. Suddenly Gun Rights in Virginia are floundering in a sea of Democrat Blue and let’s face it: 2A Sanctuaries are people trying to bail water out of a sinking ship or a tourniquet being applied to a fast-bleeding limb.

I am being this harsh about Second Amendment Sanctuaries because I am unfortunately seeing many people in Florida admiring the gesture as something to be followed here in the Sunshine State. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is the stupid and easy way out (if it is a way out at all). It is stupid because we are asking to apply a temporary emergency solution to a festering problem that could be avoided altogether by other means. Yes, those means are more labor intensive, but if you are in this fight because you thought it was easy, you hitched into the wrong train.

We avoid these grand gestures by being proactive, going to the Legislature, sit in the committees and voice our opinions. We do it by calling, and writing our Representatives and Senators and above all, we participate in every election and we make the candidate know what we have done.  And we do this constantly, year in and year out.

We do not know if the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement will actually hold legally. It may or it may not, but the reason they are popping all over the place is because Gun Owners are showing up and addressing the elected officials into doing the change. People moved and had other move to achieve a desired result and it worked! Do I have to wonder if this was something it did not happen in the last election?

The inescapable fact is that the Democrats have Virginia Gun Owners by the short and curlies and I doubt there will be able to stop the onslaught in its totality.  We in Florida are just a little bit better and have still a chance to avoid using the emergency measures. But for that to happen, we need to get our efforts concentrated in legitimate political “targets” and stop wasting efforts on posing and fake bravado. At time of posting, there were 43 gun-related bills in the Florida Legislature:  Three (3) Pro Gun bills, One (1) Neutral bill and Thirty Nine (39) Gun Control bills ranging from bad to totalitarian bad.

Let’s avoid having to use the “Doomsday Protocol” and actually do some hard work to save the Gun Rights in the Sunshine State, shall we?

I wonder if we are going to see something similar in the Florida Legislature this year,

Virginia Gun Owners at the Capitol standing against Gun Control.

 

This was us last year:

Obviously not Moms Demand, but the empty seats.

I see so little in the way of an energized base here in Florida. I am so hoping I am wrong, but fear I am not.

PS: If you are a Floridian posting in social media how ready are you top go Boogaloo in Virginia, but won’t go to Tallahassee, do us all a favor: shut the hell up and open the basement of your mom’s basement to let some fresh air in.

Florida Gun Rights 2020 – SB 1846 – Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground are to be illegal (Senate Version) – VERY BAD BILL

General Bill by Powell
Use of Deadly Force in Defense of a Person: Repealing a provision relating to home protection and the use or threatened use of deadly force, which creates a presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm in certain circumstances and provides that a person has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force in certain circumstances, etc.
Effective Date: Upon becoming a law
Last Event: 01/13/20 S Filed on Monday, January 13, 2020 8:20 AM

Read the Text of the Bill.

This senate bill at first read seems very similar to the one in the House: HB 6049.

Section 776.013 Home protection; use or threatened use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm.—

Once again: Your divine right to defend yourself and your loved ones will be illegal if these bills become law. Self defense will become a privilege in the State of Florida. If you are unlucky enough to have to resort to deadly force because you were afraid for your life and/or the life of your family, it will be in the hands of people who were not there (and may have political aspirations) to determine if you can partake of the government-issued privilege and remain free or be sent to jail because they thought you had other options…like dying.
