Last year more vets took their lives than died in Afghanistan. A tragedy either way.

 

And I'm guessing more of them that took their lives did so with a gun.

 

But I suppose they were all considered responsible gun owners.

WTF????

 

How many vets are there in 'the ghan'?

 

what kind of statistic is that?

 

WTF???

 

You really think they can afford vets in the ghan? No way. If their horse is ill, they'll freakin eat it, not seek medical help.

How come Americans are so fascinated with guns?

 

I mean if they knew how to use a freaking gun, I could understand it, but the facts demonstrate Americans have no freaking idea on how to use a gun properly.

 

If Americans knew how to use guns, they'd be a bit better at fighting wars. Lets look at Americas track record in wars:

 

1. 'War of Independence'. This is when a bunch of gorillas fought in a civil war against the British. The common day name for gorilla warfare by Americans is TERRORISM. Any freedom fighter today is now labelled a terrorrist, yet interestingly, it is through terrorism we see the only victory America has ever seen. Maybe we should put the 'founding fathers' into Git'mo Bay?

 

2. World War 1. No show.

 

3. World War 2. Took a few years to decide which side to back. They wouldn't have won the Pacific war with out the help of the British. They claim victory against Hitler, but of course it was the British and the Battle of Britain that put the nails in Gerry's coffin.

 

4. Vietnam. Lost badly.

 

5. Iraq. No victory there. Replaced one dictator with a bunch of war lords. Iraq is in a worse state now and more violent.

 

5. Battle of Mogadishu. Ouch! A bunch of bush men kicked Americas ass into humiliation.

 

6. Afghanistan. Still no victory against a bunch of fanatical sheppard's and herds men after 9+ years is it now?

 

7. Everyone's fave: The War Against Terror!!!!!! Which terror? The one America financed and started? Have they won that war yet? Will they ever?

 

So, if America wants guns, who cares? Remember, if an American points a gun at you, have no fear. Chances are, he doesn't know how to use it anyway!!

Breaking news: Texas lawmakers to introduce law threatening felony arrest of any feds who attempt to enforce Obama's gun control orders.

 

Texas state Rep. Steve Toth has just announced his intention to introduce a "Firearms Protection Act" into law which would make it a felony crime for anyone, including federal agents, to enforce Obama's anticipated gun control executive orders, including orders that attempt to limit the size of gun magazines.

 

"The Firearms Protection Act bill would make any federal law banning semi-automatic firearms or limiting the size of gun magazines unenforceable within the state's boundaries. Anyone trying to enforce a federal gun ban could face felony charges under the proposal," reads Steve Toth's website announcement.

 

"We can no longer depend on the Federal Government and this Administration to uphold a Constitution that they no longer believe in. The liberties of the People of Texas and the sovereignty of our State are too important to just let the Federal Government take them away. The overreach of the federal administrations executive orders that are do not align with the Constitution, are not very popular here in Texas."

 

Confirmed: Huge outpouring of support

 

Rep. Toth's chief of staff Amy Lane this morning confirmed the bill is being drafted by attorneys and that final language is expected by next Tuesday. The bill is roughly similar to the Firearms Protection Act that has already been introduced in Wyoming, and it would bar the state of Texas from using financial or personnel resources to engage in any sort of gun confiscation activity. It would furthermore make it a felony crime for any federal officer or employee to infringe on the constitutionally-protected gun rights of law-abiding Texas citizens.

 

The response to Rep. Toth's announcement has been gigantic. "We've been flooded with phone calls," Amy told me a few minutes ago. "We're even getting many calls from New Yorkers who are saying they're ready to leave the state and come to Texas."

 

President Obama is expect to announce 19 executive orders as early as tomorrow that would bypass Congress and impose unconstitutional and illegal restrictions on gun magazine capacity, the sales of rifles and much more. Resistance against Obama's gun grabbing schemes is growing by the day, all across America. Nowhere is this resistance more determined and vocal than in Texas, where the vast majority of citizens own and cherish their firearms for self defense, farming and ranching, and defense against tyranny.

 

Rep. Steve Toth is scheduled to join me LIVE on the Alex Jones Show this coming Friday at 12:30 central standard time, for a phone interview. He may also appear as early as tomorrow with Alex. Visit Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind! to listen in.

 

ACTION items:

 

1) If you live in Wyoming or Texas, immediately call your state representatives and tell them you absolutely support the Firearms Protection Act. Urge them to vote for it.

 

2) If you live in another state, immediately call your state representatives and urge them to introduce your own Firearms Protection Act to counter the out-of-control federal government and its illegal executive orders that violate the United States Constitution.

 

To find the appropriate phone numbers, just search online for "(Your state) legislature phone numbers" and you should be able to locate the lists.

 

This is a time when all freedom-loving Americans must stand together against federal tyranny and NULLIFY unconstitutional executive orders and legislative errors that threaten the law-abiding citizens of this great nation.

 

It is time to say NO! to Obama, NO! to Cuomo, NO! to gun grabbers and NO! to Washington D.C.

 

Just Awesome!!

Really than who was the one rescuing kidnapped Chinese fisherman by pirates off Yemen?

 

And countless other examples of this country coming to the aid of others.

 

But I won't even bother any further with you because your envy of anything U.S. is so apparent.

They can start by saying NO to federal funding. In fact, all the conservative states should start protesting by saying NO to federal funding. Bunch of hypocrites who take more money than they give. Sounds to me like your state is all for socialism. Bunch of hypocrites. Again, you can thank states like me for your existence or you wouldn't be able to live such a comfortable life.

 

Yes, your state takes more money than it pays in federal taxes. Look it up. I am sure you'll be happy to know you are a taker.

 

And, you should kiss Obama's ass for your existence. I would like to see the day that your state gives it back! Make me laugh. Its called Red Socialism. Yes AWESOME!

The same loons who cry ... 2nd amendment sezs we can have our very own arsenal ... want to throw out the constitution allowing states to arrest feds.

 

The law if it ever were to make it on to the books, by this grandstanding politician, would be ruled unconstitutional anyway.

State Representative Steve Toth Discusses Firearms Protection Act in Texas [AUDIO]

 

Someone got their signals crossed?

 

"Although the bill is primarily a defense against an executive order, Toth said it would not cover federal overreach, since it would be trumped by the Supremacy Clause. Right now, the bill is being reviewed by lawyers to make sure the bill is “airtight,” before he brings the bill before the House".

    • My wife Robin just wanted some groceries.   Simple enough.   She parked the car for fifteen minutes, and returned to find a huge scratch on the side.   Someone keyed her car.   To be clear, this isn’t just any car.   It’s a Cybertruck—Elon Musk's stainless-steel spaceship on wheels. She bought it back in 2021, before Musk became everyone's favorite villain or savior.   Someone saw it parked in a grocery lot and felt compelled to carve their hatred directly into the metal.   That's what happens when you stand out.   Nobody keys a beige minivan.   When you're polarizing, you're impossible to ignore. But the irony is: the more attention something has, the harder it is to find the truth about it.   What’s Elon Musk really thinking? What are his plans? What will happen with DOGE? Is he deserving of all of this adoration and hate? Hard to say.   Ideas work the same way.   Take tariffs, for example.   Tariffs have become the Cybertrucks of economic policy. People either love them or hate them. Even if they don’t understand what they are and how they work. (Most don’t.)   That’s why, in my latest podcast (link below), I wanted to explore the “in-between” truth about tariffs.   And like Cybertrucks, I guess my thoughts on tariffs are polarizing.   Greg Gutfield mentioned me on Fox News. Harvard professors hate me now. (I wonder if they also key Cybertrucks?)   But before I show you what I think about tariffs… I have to mention something.   We’re Headed to Austin, Texas This weekend, my team and I are headed to Austin. By now, you should probably know why.   Yes, SXSW is happening. But my team and I are doing something I think is even better.   We’re putting on a FREE event on “Tech’s Turning Point.”   AI, quantum, biotech, crypto, and more—it’s all on the table.   Just now, we posted a special webpage with the agenda.   Click here to check it out and add it to your calendar.   The Truth About Tariffs People love to panic about tariffs causing inflation.   They wave around the ghost of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff from the Great Depression like it’s Exhibit A proving tariffs equal economic collapse.   But let me pop this myth:   Tariffs don’t cause inflation. And no, I'm not crazy (despite what angry professors from Harvard or Stanford might tweet at me).   Here's the deal.   Inflation isn’t when just a couple of things become pricier. It’s when your entire shopping basket—eggs, shirts, Netflix subscriptions, bananas, everything—starts costing more because your money’s worth less.   Inflation means your dollars aren’t stretching as far as they used to.   Take the 1800s.   For nearly a century, 97% of America’s revenue came from tariffs. Income tax? Didn’t exist. And guess what inflation was? Basically zero. Maybe 1% a year.   The economy was booming, and tariffs funded nearly everything. So, why do people suddenly think tariffs cause inflation today?   Tariffs are taxes on imports, yes, but prices are set by supply and demand—not tariffs.   Let me give you a simple example.   Imagine fancy potato chips from Canada cost $10, and a 20% tariff pushes that to $12. Everyone panics—prices rose! Inflation!   Nope.   If I only have $100 to spend and the price of my favorite chips goes up, I either stop buying chips or I buy, say, fewer newspapers.   If everyone stops buying newspapers because they’re overspending on chips, newspapers lower their prices or go out of business.   Overall spending stays the same, and inflation doesn’t budge.   Three quick scenarios:   We buy pricier chips, but fewer other things: Inflation unchanged. Manufacturers shift to the U.S. to avoid tariffs: Inflation unchanged (and more jobs here). We stop buying fancy chips: Prices drop again. Inflation? Still unchanged. The only thing that actually causes inflation is printing money.   Between 2020 and 2022 alone, 40% of all money ever created in history appeared overnight.   That’s why inflation shot up afterward—not because of tariffs.   Back to tariffs today.   Still No Inflation Unlike the infamous Smoot-Hawley blanket tariff (imagine Oprah handing out tariffs: "You get a tariff, and you get a tariff!"), today's tariffs are strategic.   Trump slapped tariffs on chips from Taiwan because we shouldn’t rely on a single foreign supplier for vital tech components—especially if that supplier might get invaded.   Now Taiwan Semiconductor is investing $100 billion in American manufacturing.   Strategic win, no inflation.   Then there’s Canada and Mexico—our friendly neighbors with weirdly huge tariffs on things like milk and butter (299% tariff on butter—really, Canada?).   Trump’s not blanketing everything with tariffs; he’s pressuring trade partners to lower theirs.   If they do, everybody wins. If they don’t, well, then we have a strategic trade chess game—but still no inflation.   In short, tariffs are about strategy, security, and fairness—not inflation.   Yes, blanket tariffs from the Great Depression era were dumb. Obviously. Today's targeted tariffs? Smart.   Listen to the whole podcast to hear why I think this.   And by the way, if you see a Cybertruck, don’t key it. Robin doesn’t care about your politics; she just likes her weird truck.   Maybe read a good book, relax, and leave cars alone.   (And yes, nobody keys Volkswagens, even though they were basically created by Hitler. Strange world we live in.)

    • No, not if you are comparing apples to apples. What we call “poor” is obviously a pretty high bar but if you’re talking about like a total homeless shambling skexie in like San Fran then, no. The U.S.A. in not particularly kind to you. It is not an abuse so much as it is a sad relatively minor consequence of our optimism and industriousness.   What you consider rich changes with circumstances obviously. If you are genuinely poor in the U.S.A., you experience a quirky hodgepodge of unhelpful and/or abstract extreme lavishnesses while also being alienated from your social support network. It’s about the same as being a refugee. For a fraction of the ‘kindness’ available to you in non bio-available form, you could have simply stayed closer to your people and been MUCH better off.   It’s just a quirk of how we run the place and our values; we are more worried about interfering with people’s liberty and natural inclination to do for themselves than we are about no bums left behind. It is a slightly hurtful position and we know it; we are just scared to death of socialism cancer and we’re willing to put our money where our mouth is.   So, if you’re a bum; you got 5G, the ER will spend like $1,000,000 on you over a hangnail but then kick you out as soon as you’re “stabilized”, the logistics are surpremely efficient, you have total unchecked freedom of speech, real-estate, motels, and jobs are all natural healthy markets in perfect competition, you got compulsory three ‘R’’s, your military owns the sky, sea, space, night, information-space, and has the best hairdos, you can fill out paper and get all the stuff up to and including a Ph.D. Pretty much everything a very generous, eager, flawless go-getter with five minutes to spare would think you might need.   It’s worse. Our whole society is competitive and we do NOT value or make any kumbaya exception. The last kumbaya types we had werr the Shakers and they literally went extinct. Pueblo peoples are still around but they kind of don’t count since they were here before us. So basically, if you’re poor in the U.S.A., you are automatically a loser and a deadbeat too. You will be treated as such by anybody not specifically either paid to deal with you or shysters selling bejesus, Amway, and drugs. Plus, it ain’t safe out there. Not everybody uses muhfreedoms to lift their truck, people be thugging and bums are very vulnerable here. The history of a large mobile workforce means nobody has a village to go home to.
