Oh sure, like I said, the MN shooter was DEFINITELY a Trump supporter is this was found in his car. I know I have hundreds of those in my car too. 🙄

““Given the targeted shootings of state lawmakers overnight, we are asking the public to not attend today’s planned demonstrations across Minnesota out of an abundance of caution,” the patrol said in a statement. The patrol published a photo of “No Kings” papers inside the suspect’s car:”

DOJ Says Illinois Gun and Magazine Ban Violates Second Amendment | Cam Edwards, June 14, 2025

The Trump administration has taken another historic step in defense of the right to keep and bear arms by declaring in an amicus brief that Illinois’ bans on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines that can hold more than ten rounds violate the protections of the Second Amendment.

The brief, filed Friday with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, marks the first time that the Department of Justice has formally opposed a ban on so-called assault weapons, and comes as part of President Donald Trump’s executive order directing all federal agencies to take the appropriate steps to safeguard the right to keep and bear arms.

In the brief, the DOJ argues there are “three very good reasons” why the appellate court should reverse course and affirm the district court’s permanent injunction, despite overturning U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn’s earlier decision granting a preliminary injunction against the gun and magazine ban.

The DOJ brief declares that the Seventh Circuit simply got it wrong in a previous case dealing with an “assault weapons ban” called Bevis v. Naperville, in which the court declared that AR-15s and other semi-automatic long guns are “militaristic” firearms that fall beyond the scope of the Second Amendment’s protection.

Times have changed. Parade marching was once part of daily life in the Service. Not everyday of course, but often. After Nam, the Services didn’t do civic appearances. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen a parade since Dallas, 1991. I guess it only makes sense; There will be parades if we win🥇🏅. This was a good idea.

The Bats Of Fort Laramie Have Returned For Another Summer In Bat Heaven
Thousands of bats have returned to Historic Fort Laramie in southeastern Wyoming. Right before each bat comes out into the night, their vocalizations suddenly stop. There’s a silent pause and then out they come with a dramatic entrance, gracefully, but silently, dipping and swooping.

The Praetorian Guard, from History dot com:

The Praetorians were known to engage in espionage, intimidation, arrests and killings to protect the interests of the Roman emperor. For clandestine operations, they may have employed a special wing of troops known as “speculatores.” Formerly a reconnaissance corps under the Roman Republic, by the imperial era this unit had graduated to serving as couriers and intelligence operatives in the service of the Caesar. Speculatores and other members of the Praetorians would disguise themselves as ordinary citizens at gladiator contests, theatrical performances and protests to monitor and arrest anyone who criticized the emperor. They also kept tabs on suspected enemies of the state, and in some cases, they even secretly executed those judged to be an imminent threat to the emperor or his policies.

2 dem lawmakers shot in MN…

I’m going to place my money on blue, meaning it was a dem operation against two holdouts that were not sufficiently lefty for the likings of the blue lefty mob.

Of course the media will immediately assume and demonize MAGA for this without proof, and they will not find the actual perp, because it was an inside job with police help. But they may find an unstable MAGA patsy who they can frame.

I’m alarmed at the MAGA sentiment that I have noticed lately, among some, that has taken on a thinly disguised hatred of Israel. An absolute disdain for helping Israel. But even beyond loathing the thought of getting involved militarily, many seem to loathe Israel?

I have a very conservative neighbor here in Canada that loathes Israel. Where does this come from?

It saddens me. I’m so thankful that CFP continues to be pro-Israel.

Dan,

Two reasons for this, I think.

I suspect what you see among some conservatives is what I call neo-isolationism. It is “conservative’ in the sense of minding your own business and not getting dragged into other people’s problems.

Neo-isolationists seem to apply this to almost everything foreign, including not helping allies when they are attacked.

The second reason is what I suspect is enemy propaganda. As an example, Russian propaganda is very effective in getting some conservatives to avoid anything that helps Ukraine, first, because it costs money, and second because they believe Ukraine’s leaders are worse than Putin – The Big Lie tactic often works.

Iran has its own propaganda organs and Russia helps Iran with its widespread and more sophisticated propaganda efforts.

Amen, DD, amen. One cannot justify being pro-Jesus but anti-J, or anti-I, when God has specifically told us that the majority of them will be blinded to the truth until near the end. We may not agree with every action they take, but they are still ground-zero for God’s plan.

The US should support Israel by selling them weapons, and feeding intel to them. But the US should not be pulling any triggers or activating any launch sequences. It is not our war.

Meddling Kid

That would be true except for the fact that Iran considers the US the Great Satan and Israel as the Little Satan.

Oldrealist

Our wars are with anyone who is our enemy and tries to destroy us. That exactly describes the leadership of Iran. They mostly do it through proxy terrorist groups the supply, but we KNOW IT’S IRAN.

I’m hoping Trump orders some stealth strikes by the B2s he shifted to Diego Garcia, with the honking big bunker buster bombs nicknamed Mother of All Bombs. Just what’s needed for nuke facilities buried deep.

“The image of Germany’s armed forces is tanked. 182,000 uniformed and 80,000 civilian servicemembers make up a tiny fraction of the population (0.3 percent versus 0.5 percent in the United States). Until recently, headlines trended toward the comically inoffensive. Like its trains, Germany’s armed forces were, due to chronic underfunding and overbuilt bureaucracies, simply no longer taken seriously. Many Germans still believe the military incapable of defending the nation, and few would themselves decide to fight.”

A Democrat running for NJ Governor Nomination spent $40 million of NJEA teachers union monies to come in 5th place.

https://www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/06/nj-largest-teachers-union-stands-by-spending-over-40-million-sean-spiller-governor-bid/

Sadly, teachers in NJ were forced to pay into the union $1,082 a year. After a Supreme Court ruling they are now allowed to opt-out. The NJEA automatically enrolled them, and they need to write a letter and mail it in to opt-out. Opting out of the NJEA isnt good for your career as you will be passed up for raises and promotions.

Yes Doug, you are right. And sadly homeowners are forced to pay exorbitant school taxes in their property taxes. Approximately 70% of property taxes goes to the corrupt school system. As a former NJ resident, that was the number one issue for moving out. Beautiful state, just run by criminals.

Maybe these idiot insurrectionists will find out the hard way that it wasn’t such a great idea to have many of the J6ers thrown in the slammer for months on end with no trial – essentially unconstitutional bills of attainder. Turnabout is fair play.

“Under normal circumstances “Hezbollah would definitely respond to the Iranian attack right away,” according to Mohanad Hage Ali, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Centre in Beirut and an expert on Iran’s proxies. “But now I think we are in a different phase and it’s a very defeated organisation struggling to rebuild after the hits it has taken.

“Hezbollah is in a difficult position. Iran is in need of support from its closest ally and they are incapable of delivering,” he added.”

Remember this crap from September last year when it looked like Trump was going to win so Zuck chapsticked up and planted his lips on Trump’s ass?

“Out of the public eye, Mark Zuckerberg identifies with libertarianism — or at least that’s according to the few sources privy to his private political thoughts. As Zuckerberg attempts to convince Republicans that he, and his company Meta, are nonpartisan…”

And this from January after he won?

“In recent months, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has made a series of specific moves to signal that Meta may embrace a more conservative administration.”

But the real Zuck is back and showing the true colors we always knew were in there.

“The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has given $900,000 to the far-left Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC).”

The ads appeared to try to load at the top of the page AND inline with the stack so they would appear at the bottom at my current text size, and if they failed to load at the top, they failed at the bottom too.
