INDIANAPOLIS (WEHT) – The Indiana Democratic Party has released a statement criticizing state Rep. Jim Lucas over a video that appeared to show him flashing a gun to a group of high school students during a gun rights discussion.

In the video, first posted by The Statehouse File, Lucas, a Republican from Seymour, shows a holstered gun to the students in response to a question about the right to carry a firearm.

In discussing places where firearms are banned, Lucas said people aren’t “truly free” unless they can defend themselves.

A student off-camera asked Lucas if was referring to carrying a firearm. Just over six minutes into the 10-minute video, Lucas said, “I’m carrying right now,” and held open his suit jacket exposing a holstered handgun.

A student then remarked that “nothing about someone carrying a gun makes me feel safe.”

Lucas responded by saying, “Those are feelings. I’m talking facts.”

I am sure if he had on make-up and showed his willy, the Indiana Democratic Party would have cheered loudly.

Bold M’Fers, ain’t them? But have no fear, the NYC D.A. is here:

And the conclusion?

Invade a country. Receive free housing and food. AssauIt cops. Let out of jail with zero bail. Flip off the public right after the court case.

Bragg’s office said the five suspects released without bail face up to seven years in prison. The second degree assault charge is a felony.

SB 2180 by Hensley (R) with companion bill HB1904 by Fritts (R)

…exempts persons who are authorized to carry a firearm pursuant to an enhanced handgun carry permit or a concealed handgun carry permit from the criminal offense of possessing a firearm in a concealed manner at a meeting conducted by, or on property owned, operated, or managed or under the control of the individual, corporation, business entity, or government entity that is properly posted

As I read it, it makes locations with GFZ signs available to those with Enhanced or Regular Handgun Permits.

This would be a monumental hit to Gun Free Zones everywhere in TN, but I will predict it will not pass and not because the opposition of the Gun Control cadre but because I am already hearing the Chest Thumpers whining and bitching about being bad law because it only covers those with permits.

The concept of achieving goals by attrition and incremental progress still escapes too many on our side.

And by the way, the avalanche of gun control bills introduced in the past few days is amazing. We are up for a nasty ride.

Of course, it does not apply to Trump.

WASHINGTON/CARACAS, Jan 29 (Reuters) – The U.S. on Monday began reinstating sanctions on Venezuela and a Biden administration source said a roll-back of restrictions on the oil industry could be allowed to expire, after the South American country’s top court upheld a ban blocking the candidacy of the leading opposition hopeful in presidential elections.

I am surprised that President Maduro has not quipped back about the hypocrisy of criticizing him for Machado while trying to do the same thing to DT.

Oh well, birds of a feather and all that.

Tennessee became one of 14 states that enacted total abortion bans after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 with its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

Now, researchers estimate that nearly 65,000 women became pregnant as a result of rape in these states, including roughly 5,000 in Tennessee.

Estimate: 5K Tennessee pregnancies from rape since TN abortion ban (tennessean.com)

The abortion ban in Tennesse started on July 25, 2022. This means that in 191 there has been 5,000 rapes that left woman impregnated or 26 a day, a skosh over one per hour.

And that number does not include rapes that did not result in pregnancies.

No, we do not have an abortion problem, we have a humongous sexual predator problem and that is not resolved by abortion.

Unless you do a post-birth abortion of the rapists.

I may be called callous, but I still do not give a damn about the tiff between Rusia and Ukraine. Prior to the war, Ukraine was the official criminal bad guy country in the world as anointed such by many of the people who now defend it.

The current invasion via our Southern border is a clear and present danger ignored by the intelligentsia that bemoans our lack of compassion towards the Ukraine government. We are about to get seriously shafted by foreign enemies aided by the complicity and complacency of domestic enemies and I am pretty sure nobody will come to help us and probably more than one nation will not only rejoice but aid our enemies in their fight.

Maybe shit will change with the elections, maybe it will remain the same. Sure as hell I am not trusting anything coming out D.C.

We are on our own.

Prepare accordingly.
