In Virgina As Expected. (Update)
Watching the Brietbart feed in Facebook.
If you look like an escapee from Call Of Duty or have a rifle hanging from you, Mainstream Media make a beeline towards you, shove a mike under your face and make you look stupid.
If you are dressed normally and speak well, they avoid you like the plague.
Didn’t we learn these lessons back in the 90s when the media crews stalked the outside of Gun Shows in their campaign for the Assault Weapons Ban?
And for the love of God, you don’t have to speak to them (specially if you are not good at it or have your “elevator pitch” ready), but smile, say “no, thank you” and be polite about it.
Updates
Their own images said otherwise, but why change the Narrative when it works?
The Media battle was lost before it started. The Redressing of Grievances was fenced in and we have to stop playing by their rules .
Brietbart Live from Virginia – UPDATE: Youtube censors coverage of the 2A Rally
And there are clowns dressed like they are going to Iraq or the nearest Airsoft competition. Thankfully they are a very small minority.
Remember: This is what happens when we become complacent at the voting booth.
UPDATE: this just happened to the livestream.
There is a feed via Facebook. the best I can do

I need you to understand something.
As of tomorrow and with it may happen in Virginia, anybody with a gun, regardless of color, religion, sexual preference, etc, will be branded a White Supremacist and Nazi wanting to mass murder little children and virgins.
And a dire warning: If the switch is fliped, forget about calling a time out when the bodies drop and say “Oh shit, I did not mean it! Why can’t we get along?” It will either be take to its final consequences or be ready to be member of the European Union in less than 10 years.
NBC Propagandist admits to pushing incorrect narrative before VA gun rights event
Trump is right, the mainstream press is the enemy of the people.
Ben Collins is a reporter for NBC based in New York City.
He decided to tweet this about Monday’s gun rights rally in Virginia (now deleted but text captured).
Reporters covering tomorrow’s white nationalist rally in Virginia, I’m absolutely begging you:
Verify information before you send it out tomorrow, even if it’s a very sensational rumor you heard from a cop.
Don’t become a hero in neo-Nazi propaganda circles with made-up stuff.

From the getgo, he framed the rally as a white nationalist rally and wanted his fellow reporters to run with that narrative.
He defended his position saying the gun rights rally had been “co-opted
by white nationalist” highlighting the FBI arrests or a handful of people prior to the rally.
Since I have the honor of being retweeted by some people disputing the characterization of the rally in my mentions (many of whom are less polite than Stephen here), here's how this gun rally devolved into being co-opted by white nationalists.https://t.co/jZo2URm9h9

He was taken to task by a number of other conservative-leaning journalists for his horseshit assertion, so deleted his original tweet.
But that he put it out there in the first place, staging the narrative before the rally had even begun shows the level of mendacity the mainstream press like NBC is willing to go to, to disparage law-abiding gun owners marching for their rights.
I have a confession…
I ordered some 5.11 Defender-Flex jeans when they had their Cyber Monday sale for $30 a pair, down from about $70.
I love them.
Not because they are full of tactical pockets, which they are, but because they are pajama jeans for men.
They can advertise the stretchiness of the pants all they want showing bad-ass guys jumping through an obstacle course in them. But let’s be serious, all I’m jumping over is Legos left on the living room floor.
They are cotton/Lycra and comfy. But tactical.
I’m sorry, I had to say it.
SCOUTS is going to hear the most important case in decades
From The Hill:
Supreme Court agrees to hear ‘faithless elector’ cases
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a pair of cases on the issue of “faithless electors,” members of the Electoral College who choose not to support the presidential candidate picked by the voters in their state.
The move opens the potential for the Supreme Court to impose new rules for the Electoral College amid a presidential race this year.
The court granted the appeals in two cases out of Washington state and Colorado. Those cases challenge laws seeking to keep electors from going against the wishes of voters.
The case in Washington was brought by three Democratic electors who in 2016 opted not to vote for Hillary Clinton, who had won the state. Those electors instead backed Colin Powell, the former Republican secretary of State.
The Colorado lawsuit was brought by another elector who was removed after also declining to cast a vote for Clinton.
In 2016, there were a total of 10 faithless electors. Clinton lost five votes as a result, then President-elect Trump lost two and another three were invalidated by their states.
That is all you need to know about this case.
Here is why it is so important.
Just about a year ago I wrote about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
The Compact states that the states that sign onto it will have their electors vote for the recipient of the national popular vote instead of the winner of their state.
So if all the voters in Colorado vote for the Republican but the Democrat carries the national popular vote, Colorado’s nine electoral college votes would go for the Democrat.
This is nothing but a way for high population density coastal states to force middle American swing states into ceding their electoral college power.
If the Supreme Court decided that laws prohibiting faithless electors are illegitimate, what would stop the Democrats from simply bribing and/or threatening electors into voting for their candidate?
Why bother to make anything more of a show of a campaign?
Simply let the electors know that if they vote for the Democrat, their kids “might” have a very good chance at being accepted to Harvard or Yale and then get a good six-figure make-work job at a NY or DC consulting agency or Hollywood studio, all of which are run by Democrat donors?
That campaign contribution money would go from a war chest to a mountain of payola overnight.
And once the Democrats secure the Presidency forever by way of simply needing to corrupt 538 people (270 to win but enough to vote for the other guy to maintain the pretense of fairness) are they really going to investigate the corruption that put them in power.
Anybody who refuses the bribe, well… Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.
This is why this case is the most important one in decades, if not since Marbury, because it will decide if the Democrats get the green light to steal every presidential election by skipping the whole electoral process and just corrupt the college voters.
