Why I carry a handgun, and you should too | Mike McDaniel
There are many reasons to uphold and cherish the Constitution. Among them is the Second Amendment, which secures every other individual liberty. That’s why Democrats and other would-be tyrants so hate it and work so hard to disarm Normal Americans. With Donald Trump in the White House it’s time to update this article.
I CARRY A HANDGUN BECAUSE:
*Evil exists and may confront anyone at any time and any place.
*Evil exists to destroy all that is kind, good and loving.
*God exists and expects me to protect myself, those I love and those unable to protect themselves.
*Self-defense is a God-given, natural, unalienable right.
*The lives of the innocent—friend or stranger—are worth far more to me and to a just society than the lives of vicious criminals and terrorists.
*By carrying a handgun, I honor the foresight and wisdom of the Founders in writing the Second Amendment, which acknowledges, but does not create, the right to keep and bear arms.
*The Constitution does not bestow liberty; it restrains government from infringing on our liberties. Arms have always been necessary to remind government of that.
*Democrats and other deluded, malicious people are as desperate to disarm the law-abiding as they are to coddle violent criminals, domestic and foreign.
*Never in human history has a government disarmed a people for good reasons.
*Never in human history has a government disarmed a people to ensure greater individual liberty and public safety.
*Any government that would disarm a people cannot be trusted.
*A handgun is the most usual, convenient and effective means of self-defense.
*Going armed reinforces and upholds the Social Contract.
*A government that labels half of the nation “white supremacists,” “insurrectionists,” “domestic terrorists,” “racists” and sends federal law enforcement to spy on and harass parents objecting to the sexual and political indoctrination of their children makes plain the wisdom of the Founders in writing the First and Second amendments.
*So does a government that throws open our borders, admitting known terrorists, violent criminals the diseased and criminally insane.
*It demonstrates, as nothing else can, that I am the master of my government not its slave, that elected officials work for me and only with my continuing consent.
*It reminds politicians every iota of power they possess is on temporary loan from me and every other American on condition of good, lawful behavior. They hate that.
*I am a free man, and no evidence of that fact is more meaningful and convincing than that I own and carry the firearms I prefer.
*It reminds us that the whims of the most connected and powerful may not prevail over the Constitution and Bill of Rights as long as both live and burn brightly in the hearts of patriotic Americans and are not merely fading ink on yellowing paper.
*Politicians harboring tyrannical intentions rightly fear armed citizens. Their hatred serves to positively identify them as those that would steal liberty and hide behind spin, teleprompters and transparent lies they stupidly think clever.
*Semiautomatic handguns and rifles with “high-capacity magazines” are precisely the kind of common and usual firearms the Founders intended Americans to keep and bear. They were content citizens kept and carried the most powerful, useful military arms of their time, even cannon. Technology changes with time; the principles of liberty do not.

A rearming Germany ends Putin’s dream of reviving a Russian empire.
[See “The Meaning of Germany’s Dramatic Rearmament”
By Ian Bremmer
Time magazine, 05/24/2025.
“In May, Germany’s Foreign Minister pledged that Germany would spend 5% of GDP on defense …”]
Putin already suffered a devastating diplomatic defeat after his second invasion of Ukraine got formerly neutral Sweden and Finland to join NATO.
Germany says it will build the strongest conventional military force in Europe. A military draft will be used to fill the ranks if there are not enough volunteers. Germany is already committed to deploying a brigade in Lithuania.
Yeah, Germany specified conventional, but Germans are savvy enough to know that a nuclear arsenal will eventually be required.
Those of us old enough to have been immersed in WWII history understand full well the implications of a rearming Germany. Germans had a great military instinct. Their military General Staff was the best in two world wars. And, I expect their current affliction of liberal Wokism will quickly fade as the natural military abilities of German soldiers reasserts itself.
Let’s review some basic numbers
Germany GDP in 2023 was $4.525 trillion U.S. dollars, third largest in the world.
Russia’s GDP in 2023 was $2.06 trillion U.S. dollars, fifth largest in Europe.
Germany’s scientific and technological superiority over Russia significantly magnifies their potential military advantage.
Several sources question the accuracy of Russia’s self-reported economic data. This datum is likely overstated to hide the full impact of the Ukraine war and Western economic sanctions.
Clearly, Germany has the potential to totally dominate an economically struggling Russia.
Putin’s propagandists talked boldly of the dangers Western nations risked by poking the Russian bear.
Putin is an utter fool for not realizing the danger of poking the much larger, inherently more dangerous, sleeping German Bear into wakefulness. This time, Russia won’t be saved by massive U.S. military aid, such as it got in WWII.
As for now, Putin clings to his maximum goals in Ukraine, avoids a cease fire, and treats Trump’s squishy peace efforts with contempt.
Here’s hoping the gods of hubris entice Putin into clinging ever more fiercely to his dreams of empire.
Putin probably needs no encouragement to continue down the horror flick stairs into the basement, despite the audible moans and clanking chains from below.

“Longtime Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn recently accused former First Lady Jill Biden of “elder abuse” for reportedly encouraging former President Joe Biden to seek re-election despite his declining health and a prostate cancer diagnosis that many claim was known years before it was made public.”

Water border treaty. Pictures.
“It’s been a month since India put the 65-year-old Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) on hold following the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. So, how is this suspension really affecting Pakistan?
According to the liberal version, any federal district judge has the power to block executive branch actions nationwide. So, any one of the 667 federal district judges can veto presidential actions nationwide, until over ruled by the federal appellate court (there appear to be 94 of these) for their district or SCOTUS.
This totally negates the executive branch power of the president, which seems ludicrously NOT the intent of our Constitution establishing three branches of government with separate powers.
And, the separate judicial power only applies to SCOTUS, not the lower level federal courts created by congress.
“As of 2021, Congress has authorized 677 district judgeships. This total includes 667 permanent judgeships and 10 temporary judgeships. However, the actual number of active judges may fluctuate, as some judges choose to take senior status … Only active, non-senior-status judges can fill one of these 677 authorized positions.”
Herridge and Shellenberger:
Tulsi Gabbard has declassified Biden-era documents showing that
the Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates
as “Domestic Violent Extremists” “motivated by QAnon.”
The FBI can open a file on anyone labeled DVE.

“Harish also slammed Pakistani officials for attending the funeral of some of the terrorists killed by India under ‘Operation Sindoor’. “We just recently saw senior government, police and military officials pay respects at the funeral of noted terrorists targeted by Operation Sindoor. A nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians has no credentials to speak about protecting civilians,” he said.”

Federal district judges are staging a coup.
According to the liberal version, any federal district judge has the power to block executive branch actions nationwide. So, any one of the 667 federal district judges can veto presidential actions nationwide, until over ruled by the federal appellate court (there appear to be 94 of these) for their district or SCOTUS.
This totally negates the executive branch power of the president, which seems ludicrously NOT the intent of our Constitution establishing three branches of government with separate powers.
And, the separate judicial power only applies to SCOTUS, not the lower level federal courts created by congress.
“As of 2021, Congress has authorized 677 district judgeships. This total includes 667 permanent judgeships and 10 temporary judgeships. However, the actual number of active judges may fluctuate, as some judges choose to take senior status … Only active, non-senior-status judges can fill one of these 677 authorized positions.”
Liberals are despicable wanna be tyrants.

Herridge and Shellenberger:
Tulsi Gabbard has declassified Biden-era documents showing that
the Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates
as “Domestic Violent Extremists” “motivated by QAnon.”
The FBI can open a file on anyone labeled DVE.
And Facebook/Twitter would be forced to deplatform anyone labeled DVE.
Such as the Facebook groups for vaccine injured people that Facebook took down.
