Wasn't there a report about how all the trucks (and it's almost always a truck) with a Gadsden flag or "molon labe" sticker or basically anything stroking its dick about guns were constantly getting broken into, because there was always an unsecured and easily stolen gun in them?

https://www.denver7.com/news/local-...-steal-firearms

quote:

�They are targeting certain trucks in certain locations because they believe that there�s going to be a firearm there. And they do look at the bumper stickers,� Greenwell said, explaining that license plates from nearby conservative states such as Wyoming, South Dakota, and Texas have also been identified as targets by thieves. �That�s an indicator that there may be a gun inside that truck.�

Yeah, with the caveat that you'd be trusting a cop saying this

EMERGENCY! NOW GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS AND MONEY
Cartoon published 09/11/2023

New Mexico�s governor decided to declare a �public health emergency� due to some recent shooting deaths. While the deaths are tragic, suspending the 2nd Constitution would be more tragic. All it would do would grow more government control over us. There is no such thing as a Constitution-obviating public health emergency.

Leveraging a nebulous �Emergency� as a pretext to unilaterally cancel an enumerated right in the Constitution is not acceptable and it should not be obeyed.

Similar to declaring emergencies is declaring �war.� War on Inflation, war on drugs, war on poverty, and war for �democracy� (as we see in Ukraine). Perpetual war�forget about winning or losing them�are necessary to keep the military industrial complex enriched, while keeping the ground soaked in blood. Ukraine is not a democracy, it�s a dictatorship and a more corrupt than usual one at that, but politicians need war. By throwing endless billions in tax dollars at the war in Ukraine, those politicians rake in huge amounts in kick back money through their relatives and operatives.

Another resent �emergency!� was used as pretense for Liberty Safe Company to open one of their products so that the FBI could gather information on someone involved in their J6 witch hunt. A company that tramples on our liberty should be condemned�especially if they have the gall to use the word �Liberty� in their company name. There should be a boycott on sales. To fight back we must stop participating in, cooperating with, and helping those who stomp on our God-given and Constitutional freedoms.

Throughout history, those in power (who desire more power) usually declare �emergencies� to get what they want. Hitlers Reichstag fire, for example. During WWII our government wanted taxpayers to cough up money on a quarterly basis. It was an emergency, after all�and our government could not wait for money for the war. Yet after the war, quarterly payments remained, thus underlying Milton Friedman�s quote,

�Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.�

The funny thing is�most taxpayers have to wait many months to get a �rebate� from the IRS. That vile institution can wait as long as it likes and then when you finally do get your own money back, there is no interest added. You get nothing, but the IRS wants money owed to them NOW and if not, the interest clock starts ticking.

Today is the anniversary of 9-11. That event enabled Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney to invade Iraq and kill millions there. It�s always the same. Greedy, power-addicted people declare an �emergency!� to justify their seizure of more power at the expense of our rights. Decrees, mandates, orders, and edicts are methods tyrants use to strip us of those rights.Their meaningless bluster only has power over us if too many of us comply�and they comply out of fear.

When one hears the word �Federal Government,� for example, a reaction all too typical is instant compliance�as if the Fed is commensurate with God. An example is the movie �Die Hard.� When the FBI shows up and threatens people with the force of the �federal government,� they all turn to jelly. The local police department becomes their slaves. People are threatened with job loss if they refuse to obey. The same thing happened with Covid. People were forced to take a dangerous vaccine in order to keep working. The law had no substance, but government force worked because nearly everyone complied.

�A law repugnant to the Constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.�
� Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)

� Ben Garrison

NM Gov Grisham really has accomplished nothing but give the right a talking point.When David Hogg is against your gun control measure you did it wrong.

What nonsense are you Americans drinking? Not that wine doesn't have some bitterness in the mix, but who in the world thinks, "What's the bitterest thing I can think of? What's the go-to icon for bitterness? Ah, of course, red wine!" Not aloe? Coffee? Not even beer??

Is the global wine industry playing a prank on you? They have trained you wrong, as a joke?

Or maybe there's so much sugar/sweetener in everything else that bitter tastes get exaggerated? Or maybe it's just Stiglich personally, stirring Sweet'n Low into his 3.785 litres of breakfast Morning Dew, to wash down the frosted rocky road doughnuts?

Or... was a bottle of wine just easier to trace than a bitter melon?

Normally Stiglich gets barely an eyeroll from me, if I haven't just scrolled right past, but this "red wine = sooo bitter, as we all know" thing has really kind of... disoriented me.

(Even a bottle of red wine that actually looks like the one in the cartoon would probably taste more sour than bitter.)
