Voting is a sacred American responsibility. If you are so ignorant of the system that you don't know you need to register before an election, then learn your lesson, register and vote in the NEXT election.-Mike B
No "do overs" for dummies.
The legal guidelines for firearm possessions are based on the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution. But the most common question is ‘how old do you have to be to buy a gun.’ In this article, you are going to find out the regulations of owning a gun and the legal age to possess one. Gun laws are one of the debatable topics today, especially in politics. For every shooting incident, gun ownership and firearms control are massively increasing, especially now that the age restriction in acquiring weapons is not followed. According to the 2011 Small Firearms Record, out of every 100 individuals, an average of 88 percent are gun owners. Aside from that...You can read more here...
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
In 1984, George Orwell introduced the term “doublespeak.” In the Amy Coney Barrett hearings, Democrats have perfected it. The Democrats are in a bad way, and two things stand immediately in the path of their political agenda: the Supreme Court and the English language. To destroy one, they must destroy the other.-Kevin Williamson
"Donald Trump threatens the existence of all human life on this planet."-Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren
Geir Lundestad, the longtime director of the Nobel Institute, confessed that the prize committee had indeed hoped the award would strengthen Obama’s future agendas and wasn’t really in recognition of anything he had actually done. “Even many of Obama’s supporters believed that the prize was a mistake,” Lundestad lamented in his memoir. “In that sense the committee didn’t achieve what it had hoped for.”-Victor Davis Hanson
The US won the Second World War in the pacific because of an authentic God given miracle at Midway. Now we need another blessing from on high to win our war. Let us pray. Let us pray.- Ben Stein, on the 2020 election
I, too, was a Democrat, until I saw that their profession of "sticking up for the little guy" was just public posturing. The Democratic Party today, the leadership, not the rank and file, are only interested in the pursuit of power and the wealth that accompanies it.-Mike B
If you truly believe in the brotherhood of man, then you must believe that blacks are just as capable of being racists as whites are.-Thomas Sowell
In the 21st century, hallmark American and international institutions have lost much of their prestige and respect. Politics and biases explain the lack of public confidence in organizations and institutions such as the World Health Organization, the Commission on Presidential Debates, the Nobel Peace Prize, the Pulitzer Prizes, and the Academy Awards. The overseers entrusted with preserving these institutions all caved to short-term political pressures. As a result, they have mostly destroyed what they inherited.-Victor Davis Hanson
It continues to amaze me that Amy Coney Barrett’s textualism — the proposition that judges are constrained by what the law actually says — is being presented as some kind of right-wing extremism. One would think that Judge Barrett’s left-wing adversaries would very much prefer her to follow what the law actually says than to impose her own sensibilities on the nation through judicial fiat.-Kevin Williamson
A Christian ought to be a comforter, with kind words on his lips, and sympathy in his heart; he should carry sunshine wherever he goes, and diffuse happiness around him.-Charles H. Spurgeon
...we have the fewest police officers since 1995...There are now fewer police officers per person in the United States than at any point in the last 25 years, recently released federal data show, after over a decade of decline. For those of you new to this blog, I have some bad – or good, depending upon your outlook – news for you: these numbers are going to plummet even further. There were roughly 214 police officers per 100,000 Americans in 2019, according to the latest figures from the Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of Public Employment and Payroll, which tracks employment across state and local governments. That represents a 1.5 percent decline from 2018 and a 9 percent drop from 2007, when police numbers last peaked. To give you an idea of how far left the Democrats have gone, Bill Clinton’s 1994 Crime Bill added 100,000 police officers for many big cities. What are the chances of seeing that today?Remember: security is layers. Lighting. Landscaping. Fences. Dead bolts. Dogs. Alarms. Situational awareness. Safe rooms. Have a gun and know how to use it. But if it is your only level of security, you may not be able to utilize it in time. If you choose not to own a gun, that's your choice, but the layers of security will help to delay the bad guys until the cavalry can come. Keep a padlock on your breaker box. Thieves popping the main breaker on your box is a good way to see if anybody's home. Or to plunge you into darkness, disorient you and make it harder for you to resist. Wrap a tie wrap around the disconnect handle on your garage door opener for when the power's off. You can still break it with a good straight down pull, but without it, some thieves can fish a long wire over the top crack in the door and pop it easily from the outside. Take a bite out of crime! And be careful out there!
Seems to me like a Commandment against "making graven images" could have avoided the whole "what color/race was Christ?" business.-Mike B
Capital will go where it is treated well, and the future will go where it is welcome. And history is not an arrow pointing unalterably in the direction of progress and prosperity. If you think being a rich country protects you from that reality, remember that, when Senator Warren was born, Venezuela was the fourth-wealthiest country on Earth.-Kevin D. Williamson
A reader points out this sentence on The Corner: “In August, there were a slew of pieces accusing Florida governor Ron DeSantis of manslaughter.” He asks if it shouldn’t be “there was a slew” or “there were slews,” and, of course, he is correct. Slew, from the Irish sluagh, means “multitude,” and it is singular. This is a pretty common error, one I make fairly often myself.-Kevin D. Williamson
