Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

This isn’t just a matter of a few people missing out on a few weeks of work. CNBC host Jim Cramer has noted that the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic led to one of the biggest wealth transfers in all of American history. Wall Street cleaned up at the expense of Main Street.
Of course, this was the goal of it all, just as will be the goal of the “Great Reset.” It is to impoverish the middle class, and enrich the already wealthy. They hate the middle class.
As for masks, I’ve explain before many times that you may as well try to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.
The filter fibers leave too much open space to capture a particle the size of a virus (80 – 120 nm) by interception, and the virus is non-polar, so electrostatic attraction to the fibers isn’t an effective means of filtration.
On the other hand, you can certainly deprive your brain of oxygen by wearing a mask. One other thing that can be accomplished is to make children even more ignorant.
School is out. If you think learning is happening at home, you’re naive. Children in my neighborhood are majoring in learning to ride skateboards when they ought to be learning to construct meaningful sentences, calculus and physics.
It’s almost as if they want to create an entire generation of stupid factory workers, perpetually behind the Chinese and Japanese children, yes?
In his new article, however, Mattis says the opposite, calling for the “end of America First”:
The United States today is undermining the foundations of an international order manifestly advantageous to U.S. interests, reflecting a basic ignorance of the extent to which both robust alliances and international institutions provide vital strategic depth. In practice, “America first” has meant “America alone.” That has damaged the country’s ability to address problems before they reach U.S. territory and has thus compounded the danger emergent threats pose.
…
In January, when President Joe Biden and his national security team begin to reevaluate U.S. foreign policy, we hope they will quickly revise the national security strategy to eliminate “America first” from its contents, restoring in its place the commitment to cooperative security that has served the United States so well for decades. The best strategy for ensuring safety and prosperity is to buttress American military strength with enhanced civilian tools and a restored network of solid alliances—both necessary to achieving defense in depth. The pandemic should serve as a reminder of what grief ensues when we wait for problems to come to us.
As coauthor with three other writers in a Nov. 23 Foreign Affairs column, Mattis did not mention that he works for the The Cohen Group consulting firm. Nor did he challenge China’s tough talk against U.S. policies regarding Taiwan, nor the strict economic retaliation Beijing levied against Australia.

The Cohen Group is run by another former Defense Secretary. William Cohen, who has been involved with China since 1978, when he went there to meet with Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, according to the organization.
So he’s deep state then, like most of the other generals. Fire all the generals and start over completely.
But doesn’t the notion of a “buyback” sort of imply it was purchased from the government to begin with? And if it’s mandatory, is it really a “buyback?”
Boy the fraudster has some ringers lined up for his staff, including, by the way, Michele Flournoy for secretary of defense. I know I still have some military readers. If I were you, I’d get out of the military as soon as possible.
You know they’ll have you involved in foreign misadventures servicing the interests of the globalists. Do you really want to die for their interests?
What a goober. Every second grader knows how to pronounce the word Psalm (second grade at the latest).
The man is a colossal embarrassment. If it weren’t for the awful things he and his administration will do over the next four years, I’d almost wish he was elected for the sake of having something to lampoon.
IUKA, Miss. — Authorities in Mississippi said a North Carolina teen died when his hunting stand turned and he fell onto his rifle barrel.
A local media outlet reported that Tishomingo County coroner Mack Wilemon identified the teen as 17-year-old Justin Lee Smith of Brunswick County, North Carolina.
He said Smith was in a ladder stand Saturday afternoon in the northwest part of the county near the Alcorn County line.
According to Wilemon, the stand apparently turned to one side and Smith fell 10 feet onto the rifle barrel and was impaled.
He said Smith was able to call 911 on his cellphone but died shortly afterward.
This is what happens when you don’t use a lanyard / safety rope with a prusik knot.
I am thankful for too many things to catalog, but I’ll mention a few big things.
I am thankful first and foremost for salvation through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I am thankful for my family, God’s blessing to me, both children and grandchildren.
I am thankful for fruitful work.
I am thankful for the measure of liberty I and my family enjoy.
I am thankful for God’s gracious blessings to us, from sustenance to a home.
I am thankful for my eyesight and hearing.
I am thankful for Thanksgiving 2020 and that God has granted me life for this long.
I am thankful for my readers and friends He has given me.
God is greater than any political machinations that could ever occur, and He reigns supreme and sovereign over all. Whatever He has planned for me is better than whatever I would have planned for myself, even if it tests me.
