An Agenda Worth Voting For

While the Biden team studiously avoids talking about their real agenda, President Trump has made it abundantly clear what he intends to get done in the next four years. You don’t have to like his tweets or prickly persona. His accomplishments are reason enough to earn your vote. His plans for the future should convince all real Americans to storm the polls for this guy!

Consider his agenda for the next four years that will build upon the amazing accomplishments in his first term. All achieved in spite of entrenched forces that have fought him every step of the way.

On jobs and the economy, he expects 10 million new jobs in the next ten months and to see one million small businesses reopen or be created. He wants to lower taxes on working Americans. He really believes we can spend and invest that money smarter than Washington can on our behalf. Reducing taxes and regulations while insuring abundant, affordable energy actually works. He’s proven that.

He will battle the globalists, pressing for additional trade deals, leveling the playing field for Americans. He will nix the notion that Big Tech oligarchs can abuse the H1B Visa by replacing Americans with lower-paid imported labor. President Trump will enlarge Opportunity Zones, creating jobs and expanding horizons for minorities in our inner cities.

We should expect a major infrastructure effort to rebuild our bridges, roads and waterways. Upgrading our pipeline network alone will create thousands of good paying jobs.

President Trump will continue to press China and the multinationals who have sold us out. He will offer tax credits to return 1 million manufacturing jobs from China. Companies that offshore jobs will be banned from federal contracts. We will win the race to build out 5G networks without depending on Chinese equipment.

Critical industries like pharmaceuticals and electronics will get tax incentives for coming home.

Unlike China Joe, President Trump understands that nations that export raw materials and import finished goods aren’t really countries. They are colonies.

He will continue to hold China fully responsible for unleashing this terrible virus. We deserve to know why international experts were not allowed to investigate how this all got started in Wuhan.

His Operation Warp Speed is yielding amazing results. The president expects vaccines to be approved before the end of the year. He is putting in place a plan that will allow every American to be vaccinated early next year. Our long dark lockdown will end. Imagine what a return to normal will do for our economy.

Notwithstanding Democrat demagoguery, President Trump will press for market-based healthcare reform that protects the poor, the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. He will attack spiraling healthcare costs with a special focus on regulations and runaway prescription drug prices. Starting with Medicare and Medicaid, drug prices will be referenced to prices charged in other industrialized nations. This alone will save us over $50 billion a year.

The president has made clear that he will continue to protect Social Security and Medicare. He will demand that the VA provide the world-class care that our veterans deserve.

On the international front, President Trump expects more Middle Eastern nations to join the movement toward a lasting peace. His efforts to end endless wars and bring our forces home will continue. Allies in Europe will be required to shoulder their share of defense costs. America First will make the world safer.

Our military is midway through a complete rebuild. The Space Force will be fully established. Amazing technology and a modernized military will keep our adversaries’ expansionist aspirations at bay.

With or without Congressional help, the building of the wall will continue. The flood of illegals and drugs will dry up. Legal immigrants will be required to prove that they will not become “wards of the state.” The president will end free benefits for those who broke our immigration laws. Criminals and gang members will be tracked down and deported. Does anyone seriously think any of this would happen in a Biden Administration?

Poor kids who desperately need access to a good education will see a dramatic expansion of school choice options. The anti-American cultural curriculums will be replaced with a return to American exceptionalism.

President Trump will appoint judges that abide by the Constitution and mete out justice impartially. Donald Trump will make our streets safe again. He will not defund our police. He will support them. Violent anarchists like ANTIFA will be treated as terrorists. He will defend the 2nd Amendment, allowing us to defend ourselves. Perhaps just as importantly, this president will insist that bad cops, including conspirators at the highest levels of our FBI and the CIA, be held fully accountable. We will finally learn the origins of Operation Crossfire Hurricane.

The choice is crystal clear. Only one candidate offers an agenda worth voting for.

Storm the polls!

Our Obligation to Fight

Townhall Columnist and Author Jack Carr

“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.” -Archilochus, C. 650 BC

Over the past few months, shocking videos have surfaced of drivers getting surrounded by violent mobs of people, many times armed with blunt instruments and firearms. Citizens have been pulled from their vehicles and savagely beaten. A 9-1-1 call surfaced from a mother trapped in her car with a small child inside, rioters hitting her windows and climbing on top of her vehicle. In the chilling audio recording, the emergency operator tells her, “We can’t do anything” and “We would suggest you call up city hall to let them know about your frustrations.” At least one person was shot in their car, their forward progress arrested by demonstrators. The recent riots confirm that “when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.” If authorities do arrive, it will be after the fact. Despite their best efforts and intentions, police respond to criminal activity and will not be there beforehand to defend you from a violent attack.

Politicians protected by 24/7 taxpayer-funded armed security details also ironically want to defund the police and take our guns, actions that are the height of hypocrisy. The rest of us need to stand ready as our own quick reaction force. We are dealing with the most sacred of all gifts, the gift of life. As citizens it is our responsibility to protect ourselves and the lives of our loved ones. In fact, that is our primary obligation.

So, what do you do if you turn a corner and find yourself confronting an angry, violent mob? Do you have anyone else in the car for whom you are responsible? Is your spouse in the car? Is he or she armed? Are they trained? Do you have a baby in a child seat? Do you have two kids in child seats? A violent mob was recently caught on video blocking a Northern California freeway, moving from vehicle to vehicle smashing car windows as they went. If you find yourself the target of the mob, stay in your vehicle. Ensure the doors are locked and the windows are up. It provides a level of protection, though not from everything. Your vehicle is also a weapon. If you cannot possibly avoid a violent encounter, then you fight. When that times comes, you will want to be as prepared as you can be.

A U.S. Army Special Forces Vietnam veteran and Los Angeles police officer once told me, “if it doesn’t look right, it’s probably not.” TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. That sixth sense that kept people alive for generations still exists. It does mean you need to pull your head out of your phone and pay attention. If something doesn’t look right, turn around and get out of there. If you are on foot, run. Being aware will only get you so far. It is possible to be aware of your imminent demise. You also need to train for that worst-case scenario. You need to be prepared to take action. You need to be ready to fight.

When contemplating the morality or ethics of defending your life, just remember that if you were to suddenly appear out of thin air and were violently attacked by another person or group of people, you would not need to have a piece of paper giving you permission to defend yourself. The Roman statesman and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote, “There exists a law…inborn in our hearts…by natural intuition…if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.” Defending the most precious of all gifts is as natural as breathing. Defense of life is a God-given right, a natural right, one that is not “given” by government and therefore cannot be “taken” away. That is why it is guaranteed in our Bill of Rights. It is America’s First Freedom.

Prior to summer, the coronavirus pandemic had prompted skyrocketing gun sales, as people came to the realization that a virus might prevent authorities from picking up the phone and responding if they dialed 9-1-1. When the riots started in late May there was a resurgence of interest in firearms and learning how to properly employ them in defense of life and the lives of loved ones.

If you have made the decision to invest in a weapon, get training with that weapon. With the Global War on Terror creeping up on two decades of conflict, we now have highly trained veterans with extensive combat experience in the private sector passing on their skills and lessons learned. And, with police officers leaving their departments in droves, we are about to have a lot more trainers with law enforcement backgrounds available to teach weapons and tactics. You don’t have to come from a military or law enforcement background to be a fantastic instructor. When it comes to training, there are plenty of choices and they are only a web-search away.

The coronavirus, compounded by a season of violent riots and looting, have resulted in an uptick in weapons sales, in hunting licenses, and a greater interest in preparedness in general. We are all here today because we had ancestors who were skilled at both hunting and fighting. They provided for and defended the tribe. Studying it from a historical perspective, it is only for the briefest of moments that one has been able to outsource those skills to others; grocery stores full of food and paid police departments are fairly recent phenomena in the human experience. Having the skills to provide for and defend our families are hardwired into our DNA, primal instincts born of the need not just to survive, but to prevail.

You may have seen the memes floating around that say, “Wait until those who just want to be left alone get involved.” As with any good joke, the best memes have an element of truth. Those who served the country in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and a multitude of other hot spots around the world, who saw friends die or forever maimed by an IED or sniper’s bullet, those people are out there. They know combat, and they are not going to let a mob surround their vehicle and pull them, their spouse, or their child from the car. They are not going to go quietly and allow themselves to be beaten to death without a fight. These are people who have a very close relationship with violence. They are highly trained, and they are prepared. They just want to be left in peace to pursue their dreams and raise their families. If you happen to run into them and try to take their lives, well, you better bring your A-game.

“This is the law. The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain, all else is supplemental.” –John Steinbeck

Democrats are Angry

Townhall Columnist Susan Stamper Brown

Read the Entire Article Here

Watching the Democrat Convention left me with one thought: My goodness, Democrats are angry. Every speech at the DNC was vile and filled with the most terrible, awful, nasty anti-American rage. As if that kind of message convinces normal people anywhere to join them in their misery.

Former President Barack Obama’s speech was the worst; he sounded more like a George Soros-funded community agitator than a former American president. Obama’s speech was malicious, divisive, foul, and lie-filled. (Those who haven’t already, should take time to read the transcript.) And in typical Democrat fashion, Obama accused President Trump of the very things which Obama and his administration are guilty, proving the most pathetic kind of fool is a fool who has no idea he is one.

If Democrats get to repeat lies continuously, please allow me the grace to repeat the truth about what conservatives believe: Most of us believe in God, love our families, care for the weak and protect the unborn. We believe in the U.S. Constitution, hold dear to the truth, cling to our guns, and celebrate our freedoms. We believe in law and order, back the blue, and love our military. We believe in equal rights and equal opportunity, embrace personal responsibility, and encourage hard work. And despite current circumstances, we still believe this extraordinarily exceptional country is the world’s last great hope. We believe America’s best days are before us. And more than ever, we believe Democrats’ leftism-Marxism must be defeated, subjugated, destroyed.

Stop Making Sense

Townhall Columnist Kurt Schlichter

See the original article.

It is not transcendently stupid for the alleged anti-racism rioters to destroy a Lincoln statue, though, to normal people, it looks like the act of drooling morons. Now, a good number of these cesspeople are drooling morons, but that does not change the fact that trashing POTUS #16's statuary is brilliant.

They have confused their targets – us – by casting off the constraints of coherence.

Oh wait, you thought that these folks were trying to make a point about racism being bad. And you thought, because that's how those of us who weren't raised on Instatwitbook, soy, and critical race theory, that if you point out that something is unreasonable then that will cause the person you were instructing to rethink it. After all, trashing some Honest Abe totem in order to illustrate how racism is double-plus-ungood is about a "12" on the 1-10 scale of unreasonability. And yet, you can point that out all day and they don't care.

In fact, they laugh at you for doing so.

It's not about making sense. It never was. It's about making you kneel.

If you look at everything that is going on, the one common denominator is that every action the woke insurgents take is designed to strip you of your ability to defend your interests, or property, or rights, or life. The idea is to leave you utterly vulnerable, totally exposed, at which point they can do with you as they see fit. The nicer ones will merely reeducate you then demand humiliating submission and tribute. History (and their social media feed) teach that others will happily murder you. Doubt me? Just ask your local kulak.

Stripping you of defenses takes many forms. One form is defunding and abolishing the police. Oh, someone will be wielding force in society. It just won't be people accountable to or inclined to protect you. Another form is literally stripping you of your defenses. Why is gun control such a fetish for these creeps? Because you with a gun have the ability to not just say "no" but to exact a price from those who wish to compel a "yes." So, of course, they want to eliminate your ability to have weapons, but they also want to eliminate, as a practical matter, your ability to use them to protect yourself.

Look at what happened when the pink polo shirt gun guy quite reasonably grabbed his AR-15 as the savages descended on his property and the cops were AWOL. St. Louis's Soros-bought DA – who last month released all the arrested rioters – threatened to prosecute him. The media is slandering him too. A pack of jackals threatened his property, his family, and even his dog, and he's the bad guy for not showing his belly? You see the same fake furor every time some citizen has his car surrounded by a feeding frenzy of scumbags and plows through them to escape. Ignore that the slime are now shooting people they try to trap. The idea is to make you give up instead of fight back because if you fight back, the law comes down on you instead of the criminals.

Soros really is a shrewd investor.

The law – and the law generally says you can reasonably defend your life and property (please consult your local laws for specifics and get proper training) – means nothing if corrupt Democrats ignore the crimes of leftists and prosecute normals who dare resist the Blue Terror, which is kind of the point. You thought you could rely on the law and on the government to protect you. Nope. And now you can't protect yourself either.

And then there's reason. That's a defense too. You can use reason, make arguments, present evidence, and convince people. Not if making sense is beside the point.

You cannot reason with these people. Forget trying to convince them. You are not going to talk them out of their quest for power over you by deploying bourgeois conceits like "facts" and "evidence." Yet so many of us see what's happening and still take to Twitter or (increasingly) Parler to point out the sheer ridiculousness of the enemy's latest antics. But these actions are not ridiculous. They are tactically genius. Instead of confronting an impenetrable defense, they just scuttle around it and attack into our rear.

Now that's not to say pointing out the fact that everything they say and do is bullSchiff is pointless. It does help awoken the conservative unwoke. Normal people who are not neck-deep in the fight right now look at people trying to topple the guy who toppled the Confederacy and shake their heads. It does help with them, so keep it up with them.

But not with the wokesters. They just don't care.

So how do we beat them?

Step one is to understand the nature of the fight. It's not one of right and wrong, though that's how they like to disguise it. It is one of power. Give them nothing. Concede nothing. Stop trying to be reasonable with people who think a reasonable compromise is just impoverishing and disenfranchising you instead of stashing you in a gulag or worse.

Are you still trying to prove to them you aren't "racist?" Why? You aren't, so the hell with them. You owe them no assurances or excuses. They'll just claim your denial is more proof. You're "fragile" if you surrender and you're "fragile" if you don't, so stop playing their game. You don't have to prove anything to jerks who spew the same species of racial garbage Goebbels would have spewed, only with different names.

Step two is to understand the enemy and the information operation it's running on you. The total number of these shrieking punks is infinitesimal, probably under 1 percent of the population. But the mainstream media seeks to make them seem pervasive and overwhelming by covering them 24/7, and it expects you to fall for it. Don't. Look out your window. Except for that whiny woke wine mom down the street with the handwritten lawn signs parroting the slogans du jour, the one whose husband you often see weeping in the window, you are looking at peace and calm. That's the reality, not the chaos in a few square blocks of occupied Grungeburg, Washington.

Don't allow yourself to be demoralized. Victory is at hand. The media's polls are meant to crush your spirit, but ask yourself – do you know a single person who voted for Trump in 2016 but is now thinking, "Gosh, we need Grandpa Badfinger – he'll get the economy moving again even though he helped preside over nearly a decade of ennui?" Or have you had people who whisper to you, because they fear cancellation, "This time I'm voting for Trump?" I know zero of the former and a number of the latter. How about you?

Don't fall for the lies. Reject their goal of breaking your will.

Step three is to impose your will, ruthlessly and fearlessly, because this is our country and to hell with these schmucks.

It's time for us to riot, not in the streets, because we have jobs and we're not going to destroy our own stuff, but at the ballot box. That's where we lay waste to their Venezuelan dreams. In the primaries, vote for woke conservatives, not establishment saps. And then in November, vote straight Republican down the ballot.

Sure, much of the GOP consists of spineless saps eager to join Mitt Romney – father of the Miracle Whip box set of sons Tagg, Tugg, Togg, Skip, Skoop, Skup, Freen, Ween, and Peen – in donning the latex and gimping out for the pleasure of their WaPo masters. But the nice thing about those cowardly sissies is that we can ensure they are more afraid of us than of the leftists they yearn to obey. We can fire them, and then they'll have to get real jobs. This prospect scares them even more than a mean tweet from that desiccated crone Jennifer Rubin.

Finally, step four: Stop making sense. Unless it's directed at the unwoke, making sense is a waste of your time. This is about power. Time to use yours.

Get the Pandemic Over

America's Post Pandemic Ten Commandments

Townhall Columnist Terry Paulson

See the original article.

In an effort to capitalize on the lessons learned from the current pandemic, the plain folk of America are beginning to demonstrate and demand change. They're tired of politicians and experts locked in inaction. Their changes might be summarized in 10 new and compelling commandments to guide America's future. There's been no mountain top conclave to confirm one direction, but their collective voice might just provide plain spoken guidance for our future. Here are 10 post pandemic commandments they just might rally behind to make America great again:

1. Life is difficult, unsafe, and has always carried risk. None of us get out of this alive. So, never again even think of sacrificing the economic, mental, and physical well-being of the 99.7 percent to possibly protect and save the .3 percent from any disease or disaster.

2. No pandemic or disaster should ever be allowed to justify Draconian laws depriving citizens of elementary civil rights protected by our Constitution. Trading cherished freedoms for promised safety gives us neither!

3. Governments printing more money can never be the answer in a responsible republic. Stop giving more money; such giveaways are supporting an expectation of socialism, not maintaining a vital democratic republic. A forced transfer of wealth from those who work and saved to those who are not working and have not saved, destroys the incentives for self-reliance and rewards government dependence.

4. Tough times require tough people. Strong, resourceful citizens come from letting people handle their own problems with the help of neighbors, family, and local charities. No citizen is entitled to a basic income. No one should make more from government support than they can make from working. In America, you are responsible to earn your own way and secure your own future!

5. If people are sick, the message must be clear-"Shelter at home." Seek the treatments you need; new promising treatments are appearing daily. If you don't isolate and take care of yourself, expect to be distanced and shamed for not doing so. A healthy society isolates the sick, not the healthy! End the lockdown, and let healthy people go back to work and their lives.

6. Buy American to bring our economy back! End imports of any essential supplies or products from China unless no American alternatives are yet available. China's irresponsible response to the initial COVID-19 infestation has destroyed what trust the world has had in their communist regime. Bring back essential manufacturing to America and support them every way you can.

7. End this embarrassing analysis paralysis and let businesses open. All businesses are "essential" to those who depend on them for income and jobs. If people are free to responsibly go to a grocery store, they are responsible enough to go to any business they deem important. Individuals should have the right and the responsibility to make their own choices without undue government interference or control.

8. Defeat any politician who votes for a federal bailout for states facing bankruptcy. Never make citizens in responsible states pay for states with irresponsible planning and unchecked spending.

9. Since an expanding federal debt threatens to bankrupt future generations, put an end to automatic government budget increases. Require balanced budgets and zero-based budgeting where every department must regularly justify their reason for existence and their value in every budget cycle.

10. Don't even bother watching mainstream media news. They have been part of the effort to derail President Trump from the moment he was elected. Their headlines never change - "Everything Bad is Trump's Fault!"

Finally, and most important to remember, if you want a president who will bring back our economy and jobs, there is only one choice - re-elect President Donald Trump in November. We wanted an outsider who promised to get things done, and we gave him the job in 2016. He got things done and helped usher in the best economy in decades. He did it once, it's our job to let him have the opportunity to make America great again.

The day after Christmas, 2019

Second Amendment Sanctuary Cities For The Win

Townhall Columnist Col Kurt Schlicter

See the original article.

It’s glorious how the normal people of Virginia are rising up to reject Governor Blackface … or is it Governor KKK-klothes? He can’t seem to remember which one he was in the photo, meaning he had probably donned both creepy get-ups at some point. Yay, our Democrat betters! In any case, the people are telling him, “No, we’re not letting you goose-stepping Bloomberg bots take our guns,” and it is especially glorious that the means to make this righteous commitment is a new, and not garbage, sanctuary movement.

I’ve always been an advocate of playing by the left’s new rules, and this is a great opportunity to new rules the libs good and hard. We got your sanctuary right here, pinkos.

See, the left decided that Virginia, whose northern reaches are now full of government workers and other garbage people, needed to turn blue. With tons of lib donor money and the aid of a typically inept state GOP (I know those feel here in California), they managed to just barely grab control of both houses of the legislature. With Governor Byrd-Jolson in charge, they immediately promised to do away with the Second Amendment. They announced that they were going to confiscate the citizens’ scary guns and do all sorts of other things to show those disobedient, probably Jesus-loving rubes who was boss.

Except, as Chairman Mao – who you think these dorks would appreciate more – pointed out, power grows from the barrel of a gun, not out of a mean tweet.

Instantly, everyone outside the garbage counties locked and loaded their freedom and so the Second Amendment sanctuary movement began. County after county, and many cities, all committed to resisting if the state tried enforcing unconstitutional gun laws against normal citizens. And it was beautiful. The Dems wet themselves.

Remember, these normals won’t hurt anyone who doesn’t mess with them. They work, raise children, pray, and they keep guns for the defense of themselves, their families, their communities and their Constitution. They didn’t get the memo that said they were supposed to just roll over and become subjects instead of citizens.

After all, Virginians aren’t Canadians.

The Democrats freaked out, stunned that normal people responded to their diktats with middle fingers instead of abject submission. One lib threatened to turn the National Guard on the people of Virginia, which is a neat trick since the National Guard is made up of the people of Virginia. As a colonel who served for years in the National Guard (Remember the Rodney King riots? My time in them on the good guy’s side reaffirmed why I believe every able-bodied, healthy American adult should have a real assault rifle in his/her/xir house), I can safely say this would be a poor idea. Sure, some bootlickers might participate in such manifestly illegal warfare on free Americans, but most soldiers would – as is their obligation – refuse to commit such crimes. In fact, if Governor Duke Trudeau ever did consider the mass oppression of American citizens by military forces as his fellow Democrat threatened, the President should federalize the Virginia Guard and use it to restore a republican form of government in the state.

In any case, the Democrats have finally found a kind of sanctuary city they won’t goo goo over – one that protects the constitutional rights of American citizens instead of one that undermines and breaks the duly-enacted laws passed by the American people’s representatives for the benefit of foreigners who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

This kind of civil disobedience is absolutely justified in the face of manifestly unconstitutional threats to the Bill of Rights. The liberals think the Constitution is some sort of cafeteria, where they get to pick and chose the rights they will enforce – usually rights that aren’t even in the Constitution in the first place. But this only works if American citizens go along with it, and they are not going to.

As much fun as it is to humiliate their garbage governor, the people of Virginia are doing something more important. They are getting woke. This urban lib attack on regular folks – an attack totally unprovoked and being executed solely for the sheer lefty joy of making normal people bend to their will – has roused a sleeping giant. Many of those uncool people, most of whom don’t eat kale or have unusual pronouns, did not bother to vote in recent elections. Then they found that the Democrats were planning to send people with weapons to their homes to steal the tools that keep them safe and free.

And the Second Amendment sanctuary movement is only the start. Next election, those people will be out and angry and armed with their ballots. The Dems have backtracked a bit, but it’s too late. They lit the fuse and it will blow up in their smug, goateed faces. As a Republican, it’s always amazing when you see that there’s another party whose leadership is dumber than the one at the helm of your party. For no good reason, simply because of cultural contempt and spite, the Democrats had to antagonize and awaken the somnolent normals of Virginia by posing an existential threat to them. It was so unnecessary – not one of the teachers, cops, insurance salesmen, farmers, housewives and such who mobbed the local meetings and forced local governments to mutiny against tyranny was ever going to hurt anyone with their guns except people who needed to be hurt. But no, the Dems couldn’t resist. They had to show those hicks who were in charge.

Well, we just found out who is really in charge.

Maybe if we make clear that we’re not going to gimp for the left, the Dems might not turn my amazing novels like People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfireinto nonfiction. Maybe. My newest novel is Collapse, and people dig it (it’s an Amazon top seller with great reviews). Here’s the best part: Bill Kristol called my books “appalling.” Ahoy, best blurb ever!

Liberal Americans Hate America First

Townhall Columnist Kurt Schlicter

See the original article.

Arizona breathlessly awaits the latest treasure unearthed from the social media and YouTube archives of Democrat Senate candidate Krysten Sinema, who called her own state “crazy” and the “meth lab of democracy” before explaining to her 9/11 truther pal that she’s cool with Americans fighting for the Taliban. We eagerly await the video of her with Jane Fonda slowly roasting a bald eagle over a fire made from burning flags at an Antifa picnic.

This innovative Democrat strategy of picking candidates who hate the very people they seek to represent seems counterintuitive, but they keep doing it. Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit – you know, the genius our Fredocon betters instructed us we were morally obligated to vote for because Trump likes hot women – called us “deplorable.” It’s bad enough not bothering campaigning in Wisconsin; it’s outright insane to basically call up Wisconsin and yell, “You suck and I hate you!” before hanging up and pouring yourself yet another goblet of Trader Joe’s house label chardonnay.

But no one has called Democrats sane lately. They’re just finally being honest-ish and saying what they really think. As I explain in my acclaimed new book Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy(It’s been called “One of the books of 2018!” and hailed as “In English!”), the rights, needs, and interests of people like you are at best an annoyance, and they distract the liberal elites from the really important things, like increasing their own wealth and power. They are in it for themselves and had quite the sweet grift going, but you got all uppity and elected Trump and – Oh well I never! – that just won’t do.

You must be ignored, if you are lucky, or crushed, if they get the chance (and if you are stupid enough to give up your guns and ammo).

Oh, how they hate Donald Trump’s America First agenda. Why shouldn’t they? They don’t really consider themselves “Americans,” not like Normal Americans do. We Normals think of our American citizenship as a badge of honor. They consider it something they have to apologize for to Canadian tourists they meet in Barcelona. 

Our liberal elite sees themselves not as citizens of the United States of America but as something better, more enlightened, more moral – “citizens of the world.” But of course, that’s silly. There are no “citizens of the world” because there is no “world.” There is a collection of nation-states, tribes, sects, and other groups inhabiting this giant space rock, and you can be part of one or more of them, but there is no “world.” However, there is a trans-national globalist elite that shares the same stupid values, beliefs, and taboos, and that’s who our useless elite identifies with. Whether it’s some herring-gobbling Nord-dork in Oslo or some Marxist puppetry prof in Pomona or some gender-confused EU functionary in Brussels or some CNN geebo who gets huffy when peeps call mobs “mobs,” the trans-national global elitists share more in common with each other than with their own people. And it is to their fellow elitists, and not us, to whom they are loyal.

They have been trying to inflict the tenets of their secular scripture on us for decades. They all buy into the weird weather religion which requires they sacrifice your money and your sovereignty on the altar of slightly lower temperatures, maybe, in a couple centuries.

They all buy into the notion that Third World foreigners who ignore the immigration laws we citizens passed have more right to be in our countries than we citizens do – and that we owe these intruders a living as well.

They all buy into the notion that free thought and free expression are wonderful concepts as long as people do not abuse them by disagreeing with the trans-national globalist elite.

They all agree that Israel is bad for not letting its people be butchered, that Normal people are racist, and that not just men have penises. And democracy? Well, they are all for it if the Normals vote correctly; if not, then bureaucrats should make the decisions. The key tenet is, of course, that the globalist elite should be firmly in control of people like you.

Except Normals worldwide are rejecting this creepy catechism of weird ideas. The rise of rebel parties in Europe, Brexit, and, of course, the victory of Donald Trump are a reaction to an elite that refuses to put the interests of the people of their own countries ahead of the interests of their trans-national globalist cocktail party pals. Have you seen how they come unglued when they see a MAGA hat? They don’t want America to be great again.

Donald Trump is driving them nuts by actually pursuing American interests first, at the expense of those of the elite. His trade policies are slowly making progress where the alleged free traders (who are not for “free trade;” they are for letting their buddies unilaterally exploit American markets) did nothing for decades but shrug as Normals were thrown out of work. He’s renegotiating unfair deals, and look for his administration to fight anti-American actions by other countries, from notorious wrongs like Chinese tariffs to esoteric issues like unfair Indian data localization laws. He’s ended Europe’s 70-year free lunch by forcing NATO to get off its collective rear-end and start pulling its weight, and he’s asking forbidden questions like, “If Europe’s not worth Europeans fighting for, why is it worth Americans fighting for?”

The elite is freaking out because they are seeing their globalist dreams die. Which is good, because their dreams are a nightmare for Normal Americans.

America doesn’t do apology tours anymore. To execute his campaign of refocusing American diplomacy on pursuing American interests, President Trump has appointed unequivocal pro-US advocates like Nikki Haley to key jobs. Haley was absolutely hated by the elite, which means she was working for us, not them. But the globalist gang is trying to retake the UN Ambassador job now that Haley is leaving, pushing Dina Powell for the gig. Yeah, because no one will stand up to the globalist elites like someone from Goldman Sachs. Instead, we need to take my pal Ric Grenell from Germany, where he has horrified all the right people by pushing American interests, and unleash him on the United Nations. That will teach them. If he can’t, maybe pick my other pal Robert O’Brien, the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, who likely had a lot to do with freeing that pastor from Turkey (Have you noticed how under Trump we keep getting hostages back without paying for them?). But the face of America First internationally can’t be some globalist – sorry Dina, but the job of our UN ambassador is to deal the pain, and someone like her is far too likely to worry about stepping on the toes of the same people she was partying with last week.

America First is really about putting Americans first, and when is the last time we saw a Democrat do that? Between foreigners and Americans on trade, they side with the foreigners. Between illegal immigrants and American citizens, they side with the illegals. Between anyone else and us, they always side with anyone else. This November, the people of Arizona, and across the country, need to decide whether they want to turn our government over to people who hate us.

Why We Must Arm Teachers Now!

Townhall Columnist Kevin McCullough

Guns in the hands of trained teachers would’ve saved lives Wednesday in Broward County, Florida.

Sadly Florida’s own state legislature preferred children and school personnel die instead.

In a minimum of back to back legislative terms, then state House of Representative Greg Steube introduced legislation in 2014 and 2015 to allow teachers to be armed on school campuses in the State of Florida. The successful measures in the state House then died in the state Senate where both the teachers’ unions and the PTA brought political pressure to bear to kill the bills.

So blame—at least in part—the carnage this week at Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school—on the lobbying efforts of those two groups as well.

Steube has not given up the fight. The former state House representative is now a state Senator and for 2018 plans on introducing at least two gun bills that would allow expanded capacity for gun owners to be able to carry and in some cases conceal their guns on their person.

These bills are expected to receive the same pushback of the previous efforts. Florida state Senators should re-evaluate their positions though. Florida after all is home to two of the top ten worst mass shootings in American history.

The shooting at Stoneman Douglas may not have been completely preventable but it might have very much been stopped long before 17 victims were killed and another 14 sent to area hospitals.

The almost identical observation should be made of the shooting at Sandy Hook school in Newtown Connecticut.

In both instances from the amount of time it took the first shots to ring out, to the time it took campus authorities to dial 911, to the time police actually arrived, and by the time the incident concluded just gave entirely too much time for evil to be done.

In both incidents the estimates are that it took police only a minimum of 5-6 minutes to arrive once the initial calls for help were placed.

Who could complain that police arriving on the scene of an active shooter in such an immediate timeframe was anything but attentive and prompt? In the Sandy Hook episode electronic locks, reinforced doors, and other security upgrades had been installed and appeared to function properly. In Florida the Stoneman Douglas campus had at minimum two squads of armed “resource officers” present—as do all public high school campuses in Florida.

In other words all of the safety precautions that the anti-gun lobbies have conned everyone into believing would work in the event of the worst case—didn’t—when the worst case presented itself.

Almost immediately in reaction to the unfolding of the news as it was happening Shepherd Smith on Fox News Channel asked Florida Senator Ben Nelson “What could be done?”

The Senator mumbled something back about how because of the division in Congress “we’re not even able to pass legislation that would prevent terrorists from buying an automatic weapon.”

But neither shooter in either case were members of Al Qaeda or ISIS. Both were former students of the districts they attacked. The Sandy Hook shooter killed family members to steal their weapons to go on his shooting spree. The shooter in Parkland had long had a reputation for loving to shoot guns even while maintaining a belligerence against the school. He also evidently expressed that animus around the campus enough that many students immediately assumed this attack was carried out by him even while the attack was on going.

Steube’s last attempt at arming teachers was also extremely reasonable. It required that the only teachers who would be allowed to be armed on campus would be those who had former law enforcement or military service background. It also required that said teachers showed a proficiency in the handling and safety of their sidearms.

Sadly the smug-left-of-center news media for the next many days will make long sad pronouncements about how all of this could’ve been avoided and should have already been addressed.

Floridian and State Senator Greg Steube agrees.

Sadly that same media will point to the ownership of guns by law abiding people and believe that taking them away is the only ultimate answer.

But the only real thing that gun confiscation has proven is that the increase of gun free zones in our society is also an increase in targets for people who never abide by laws on guns or anything else.

If the Broward Sheriff and the Parkland police were able to respond in 5-6 minutes yesterday....

If two squads of armed resource officers are on campus but not in the building where the shooter begins firing...

If electronic locks, and reinforced doors do not prevent the penetration of a committed killer into a school where innocent children wait like sheep to be slaughtered...

Then it is time for teachers to be armed, locked, loaded, and ready to end a killing spree before dozens more die.

So arm the teachers. Arm them so that the mere knowledge of such firepower potentially raining back down on the perp dissuades him from ever attempting an attack. Or at the very least ends his attacks before maximum potential carnage has been created.

Save children, arm the teachers, arm them now!

No more excuses!

Dr Piazza Right Again

I received the below email from Dr Piazza, Founder of Front Sight. Once again he has hit the nail on the head. If only we could break the money trail, we could cut down or even stop these senseless shootings.

Here is what the good doctor says:

Dear Frank,

On Monday I made this bold statement BEFORE anyone else in the word did.

"Let me make a bold statement here: When the medical authorities complete their autopsy and blood chemistry on the Las Vegas mass murderer, THEY WILL FIND PSYCH DRUGS in his system and tissues.

Bold statement? Not really. EVERY MASS SHOOTER SINCE COLUMBINE HAS BEEN ON PSYCH DRUGS!"
