Premiering on Thursday, Aug. 1, on SundanceTV, No One Saw a Thing (executive produced by Jason Blum) is a six-part documentary about the tiny rural enclave of Skidmore, Missouri, home to an incident that became so notorious they even made a TV movie about it (1991’s In Broad Daylight, starring Brian Dennehy, Cloris Leachman, Marcia Gay Harden and Chris Cooper): the July 10, 1981 slaying of Ken Rex McElroy, a “town bully” with 37 felonies to his name, and a hulking mutton-chopped 47-year-old who terrorized locals to no end, including shooting multiple people for no good reason. He was, by all accounts, the sort of monstrous bad guy one might find in an old Western.

Folks, at the end of the day, carry your guns. Even if it’s to Walmart. There is no safe place in this world. Safe spaces are an illusion, a lie we tell ourselves to believe that we can shut the evil in the world out and create a Utopia, even if only on the tiny patch of ground beneath our feet.
AP Photo/Richard Drew Judge Andrew Napolitano is bringing the heat in a stinging column for the Washington Times , rebutting and refuting the arguments by gun control activists that they can simply ignore the text of the 2nd Amendment and Supreme Court decisions and enact whatever anti-gun laws they want.
We have civil commitment laws on the books in states across the nation. If we believe that someone is truly a danger to themselves or others, isn’t that a more appropriate place to seek help rather than a court hearing where a judge only hears one side of the case before making a determination about whether or not someone poses a threat to themselves or others?

Why not use the tools that already exist? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative and disarm the people so the Gooferment can do whatever it wants to “We, The Sheeple”!
If his Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology Act (SMART Act) becomes law, your social media experience will be littered with authoritarian pop-ups imploring you to maintain 30-minute time limits and instead of easy-to-use scrolls, your feeds will turn into click-controlled social media rations. In short, your social media experience will become so annoying and static that you may, in fact, start using it less. So, Hawley will win, but you, and, especially, social media, will lose.
Where in the Constitution does it make Gooferment the arbiter of how social media should work? Are “We, The Sheeple” just little children to be “protected” from their own choices. What’s next an “Eat Your Vegetables” Act? Argh!
Molon Labe (or ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ) is a classical Greek phrase meaning “come and take [them],” attributed to King Leonidas of Sparta as a defiant response to the demand that his soldiers lay down their weapons. Gun-rights advocates have adopted the phrase as a challenge to perceived attempts by the government to confiscate firearms.
“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” — apocryphal unsourced quote attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
So too, when the Gooferment sends men to disarm the militia.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn
The politicians and bureaucrats, who think it can be done with the stoke of a pen, will find it can’t be done.
Look at New Zealand, gun owners just ignored the law.
The essence of any resistance is just non-cooperation.
If gun owners just refuse to cooperate with their own destruction, it will end quietly.
Can’t load the trains to the concentration camps if “We, The Sheeple” don’t comply.
Researchers at the University of Exeter in the UK wanted to know if staring at seagulls might dissuade them from abducting your dinner, so they headed to coastal towns in Cornwall.
The team put a bag of chips (that’s fries for us US folks) on the ground and monitored how long it took the gulls to approach the food. “On average, gulls took 21 seconds longer to approach the food with a human staring at them,” the university said in a release on Tuesday.
Authored by Michael; Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog, Whenever a tragic act of violence makes national headlines, the calls to give up more of our freedoms and liberties in exchange for the promise of increased security become deafening.
As The Epoch Times’ Jack Phillips reports, at least seven people were shot and wounded on Aug. 4 as they gathered near a children’s playground on Chicago’s West Side. The people gathered at 1:20 a.m. as they stood in the park on the 2900 West Roosevelt Road when a person opened fire from a black Chevy Camaro, said Chicago Police.
So why didn’t this mass shooting get the same kind of coverage that the other mass shootings received?
Could it be that it is because it didn’t neatly fit the agenda that the mainstream media is trying to promote?

Of course, “The Press” is a weaponized propaganda arm of the liberal left wing of the “Democratic” Party.
It’s time to hold them to account, along with the “Tech Giants”, who are manipulating “We, The Sheeple” like Judas goats.
The American Experiment failed with the “War of Northern Aggression” AKAK “The Civil War”. All that’s left is to bury it and move on.
The American Empire will collapse shortly as do all “empires” as a result of the loss of “civic virtue”, decadence, and debt.
So sad. Look at Venezuela and see the pain and strife coming to the USA as “democratic socialism” transform into dictatorial communism.
“If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
“These extraordinary FBI docs further confirm that James Comey should never have had FBI files on President Trump at his home and that the FBI failed to secure and protect these private and classified files,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Mr. Comey’s illegal leaking these FBI files as part of his vendetta against President Trump (directly resulting in the corrupt appointment of Robert Mueller) ought to be the subject of a criminal investigation.”
On June 8, 2017, Comey testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that he leaked memos of his conversations with President Trump “because (he) thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.” Columbia University Law professor Daniel Richman, a friend of Comey’s, reportedly “turned over copies of the former FBI director’s explosive memos … to the FBI, sidestepping a request by congressional committees to deliver the materials to Capitol Hill.”
