Trump Tells NRA Convention “I Will Be Your Loyal Friend and Fearless Champion Once Again”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“Taking a bow as the “most pro-gun pro-Second Amendment president,” former President Donald Trump vowed to protect Americans’ gun rights “forever.”

“As a candidate in 2016, I promised you that I would save your Second Amendment from absolute obliteration — that’s where it was going — and as your president, that’s exactly what I did,” Trump told the annual National Rifle Association convention in a speech that aired live on Newsmax. “We saved our Second Amendment, and we’re going to save it for a long time to come.

“It’s under siege, but we’re gonna save it for a long time to come — forever as far as I’m concerned, forever.

“So I was proud to be the most pro-gun pro-Second Amendment president you’ve ever had in the White House. I think that’s been acknowledged. And, with your support in 2024, I will be your loyal friend and fearless champion once again as the 47th president of the United States.”

Trump made the keynote address in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the tone of a 2024 campaign speech.

“No one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president,” Trump said. “I will uphold those glorious words: Shall not be infringed.

“You know those words.”

Trump vowed to unwind President Joe Biden’s “war” on the Second Amendment, along with open borders, foreign policy failures, massive crime waves, and justice being weaponized against the political opposition.

“We’re going to have a big, big, successful election coming up; we’re going to take back that beautiful, gorgeous White House,” Trump continued. “On day 1 of my new term, I will stop Joe Biden’s war on lawful gun owners.

“It’s a war. What they’re doing is crazy. So many things.”

…Trump was adamant it is criminals who do not follow laws who are to blame for violence.

“But let’s be very clear: The issue is not too many guns; the issue is too many thugs, hoodlums, and savage criminals on our street,” Trump said. “That’s really what the issue is.” (Courtesy Newsmax.com)

The Democrats’ never-ending quest for “Gun Control”, if successful, would only succeed in controlling law-abiding American Citizens, instead of punishing those who operate outside of our laws.

The leader of the bloody Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin, once wrote that

“One man with a gun can control 100 without one.”

If the Democrats had their way, we would live in a country under the oppression of restrictive gun laws, which would be modeled after those in Europe. And, as past events have plainly shown, those restrictive gun laws have allowed Islamic Terrorists and other murderous nut jobs to kill innocent people unchallenged, because none of those innocent people were allowed to carry a weapon with which to defend themselves.

In fact, in some cases, even the police officers, who first arrived on the scene, were unarmed, and had to call for additional forces, thus giving the perpetrators more time to murder and maim the innocent.

One of our Founding Fathers, Dr. Benjamin Franklin, once wrote,

“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

Like Dr. Franklin and the rest of those who have fought for our freedom, average Americans realize what Democrats do not.

The problem in stopping mass murders and other shooting deaths from happening is not that there are not enough gun laws. The problem is that the gun laws on the books are not properly enforced.

The dissolution of the Family Unit, the revolving door state of our Municipal Justice Systems, and the lack of recognition and treatment of the mentally ill and wannabe Terrorists and Marxist Anarchists, have a lot to do with the rise of these horrible massacres in America and the horrible violence which plagues cities like Chicago and Memphis.

What Liberals have never understood, in their continuous quest to take away the Second Amendment rights of average Americans, is that we will never surrender our Constitutional Right to defend ourselves and our families from enemies foreign and domestic.

What part of the words quote “shall not be infringed” do you Liberals not understand?

Passing more restrictive gun laws is not the answer.

Criminals are called “outlaws” for a reason.

They will find a way to get guns. They do now.

I agree with what President Trump said when Candidate Biden brought up Gun Control: “Hit the animals hard”.

This is a people problem. Not a gun problem.

After all, have you ever seen a gun pull its own trigger?

TN State House Expells 2 Democrat Reps for Violating Decorum Rules by Leading Gun Control Protest

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“A week ago Johnson, Jones and Pearson approached the House podium between bills during the session without being recognized, a breach of chamber rules. They led protesters in the galleries in several chants calling for gun reform.

“What is happening here today is a farce of democracy,” Jones said at the beginning of his 20-minute defense on Thursday. “What is happening here today is a situation in which the jury has already publicly announced the verdict. What we see today is just a spectacle. What we see today is a lynch mob assembled to not lynch me, but our democratic process.”

The House expelled Jones in a 72-25 vote, and Pearson in a 69-26 decision. The expulsions for the two were effective immediately.

In this move, Republicans removed two of the youngest Black lawmakers from the General Assembly, further reducing an already small minority caucus.


What did the ‘Tennessee three’ lawmakers do?

House Republicans accused the trio of violating decorum rules when they led a raucous gun-control protest from the House floor with a bullhorn on March 30, as thousands of demonstrators descended on the state Capitol calling to restrict access to guns.” (Courtesy Tennessean.com)

What was attempted that day in the Tennessee State House of Representatives was an actual INSURRECTION.

Don’t believe me?

Watch this.

The Democrats involved intentionally attempted to intimidate the Tennessee State Representatives through a show of force.

The Democrat Representatives got the crowd fired up by leading the protesters in the gallery in pre-planned cheers designed to silence any political debate.

It was literally like the beginnings of the Russian Revolution with Lenin and the Bolsheviks silencing political debate through force.

And of course, it had the blessing of the Washington Democrat Elite.

Vice-President Kamala Harris met yesterday with both the expelled representatives and some of the “insurrectionists”.

She ignored the families of the innocent children massacred by a psychotic “transgender”.

…because frankly, the Democrat Elite are more worried about the “transgendered” and GUN CONTROL.

An unarmed America will be easier to “radically change”.

The Burton Hill School Massacre – We Don’t Have a Gun Problem, We Have an Evil Problem

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

“A shooting at a Tennessee private Christian grade school left three students and three adults dead, including the head of the school, Monday, and the shooter was killed by police, authorities said.

The victims were killed in the attack at the Covenant School, authorities said. Nashville police say officers engaged with and killed the shooter, identified as a 28-year-old female carrying two “assault-type rifles” and a handgun.

The shooter was identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a Nashville resident, who identified as a transgender woman. Investigators were investigating a home connected to her. Nashville police Chief John Drake said Hale possibly prepared for the shooting, including having written a manifesto.

“We have also determined that there were maps drawn of the school in detail of surveillance entry points. At one point, she was a student at that school,” he said. “There was a vehicle nearby that gave us a clue as to who she was.”

Police say the shooter entered the building through a side door and fired shots before moving to the second floor, where Hale was confronted by responding officers. They don’t believe she was wearing any body armor, authorities said.

Hale was armed with two AR-style weapons, including a rifle and pistol, and a handgun. Two of the weapons may have been purchased legally in the Nashville area, Drake said.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

There are no excuses which can suffice in regards to the actions of this young woman (not he/him, WOMAN) who so heinously and efficiently took the lives of those 3 innocent children and 3 adults whom she struck down in cold blood.

In the case of this psychopathic “transgender” and others who have slaughtered the innocent, there were markers along the way which should have told those who were involved in their lives, both parents and friends, that there was something just not right with them.

You can call it profiling or you can call it a spirit of discernment, as the Bible describes it. Those who were around these individuals should have noticed something.

In my opinion, there is one solution:

We need Evil Control. What I mean is that we need parents to actually act like parents and be involved in their children’s lives. We need teachers and friends who care enough about individuals to say something to both them and to their families when something is just not right.

And, we need to throw every single Sexual Groomer out of America’s schools.

As someone who watched his parents deal with the mental illness of a family member, I’m not saying that it will be easy. It is a hard thing to face up to and to confront. But, it has to be done.

Those like installed President Joe Biden, who are constantly calling for gun control, seek to punish the entire nation for the actions of some by taking away our 2nd Amendment rights.

If those same people would stop for a moment and consider that guns are inanimate objects which cannot fire themselves and then focus on the true cause of the increase in violence in our nation, then perhaps we could actually start making some headway and provide the care and treatment to the individuals who need it in time to avoid the horrific event of a mass murder, such as happened yesterday in that Private Christian Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee.

I am not saying that this will get rid of all of the mentally ill people in our country who wish to murder others, but it seems to me that back in the day when parents actually raised their children, along with the rest of the neighborhood who raised us, we did not see this preponderance of violent acts which we are seeing today.

Also, one last thing. Getting back to raising our children and grandchildren in the “Faith of Our Fathers”, wouldn’t be such a bad idea, either.

Biden Calls for “Infringing” Americans’ 2nd Amendment Rights…Again

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“President Biden said on Thursday that he would push Congress to enact new gun control laws before Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.

Biden told reporters during a press event in Nantucket, Massachusetts that the recent shooting at an LGBT nightclub in Colorado had reinforced the need to pass an assault weapons ban.

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick,” said Biden. “It has no socially redeeming value… Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.”

Semi-automatic guns, including handguns and rifles, fire one bullet for each pull of the trigger.

Biden said he would push federal lawmakers to enact a new assault weapons ban before January when the next Congress took office and Republicans gained control of the House.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Democrats like Biden believe that the Constitution is a “fluid” document, subject to change to fit the political ideology of those who happens to be the majority party, presiding over the Executive and Legislative Branches of our Federal Government at the time.

The Constitution was written by brilliant men who foresaw the possibility of a minority of tyrants attempting to take over and change our Constitutional Republic into a tyrannical form of government, such as they left behind in Europe.

And, that, boys and girls, after hearing President Joe Biden once again threaten the Second Amendment, appears to be exactly what the Democrats want for the future of our Sovereign Nation and our children and grandchildren.

As Democratically-controlled cities like Memphis, Chicago, and New York have found out the hard way, strict gun control laws do not work.

Outlaws will find a way to get guns. That is why they are called “outlaws”.

And the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Guns can not pull their own trigger.

What happened in Colorado was horribly tragic. Thank God that a Veteran (who happened to be straight) was there to stop the psychopath from taking even more lives.

Unfortunately, we live in a different culture than a lot of us grew up in.

Something definitely needs to be done.

However, by constantly proclaiming that “no amendment is absolute”, Biden has warned us that changing the Second Amendment of OUR Constitution, a part of OUR Bill of Rights, is a very real possibility, if he can get the “Fools on the Hill”, otherwise known as Congress, to go along with it.

And, if that happens, what is to stop them from “radically changing” the First Amendment, as well?

And, God forbid, if all of that happens, our Constitutional Republic will no longer exist and America will be just another failed Democratic Socialist Third World Barrio, instead of “The Shining City Up On A Hill”.

It is time to “put on the whole Armor of God”, to pray, and to call our Representatives in Washington and tell them that We The People will not stand for this…and if they want to keep their jobs they had better start fighting against this “Russian Revolution II” and the unwanted revision of OUR Constitution.

Or, they are going to be out of a job.

It is way past time to stop coddling crtiminals and to start actually punishing them.

The Battle for the Soul of America

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

My late mother used to tell me that I had a long fuse which led to a box of dynamite.

She was right.

Yesterday, I had had all I could stand of Joe Biden trying to push gun control and take away our 2nd Amendment Rights as Americans.

So, I replied to him on Twitter.

It did not make me feel any better, but it did trigger a realization or two.

This Cultural Jihad against our Traditional American Faith and Values, which the Democrats are waging on our country, can be traced all the way back to the years after World War II, when Marxists tried to infiltrate Hawaii, Hollywood, and our nation’s capital.

They were driven back but, like a coiled rattlesnake hiding in some brush waiting to strike, they bided their time, working behind the scenes in the Democratic Party.

When Lyndon Baines Johnson was installed as President after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Democratic Party began accelerating its slow but steady movement to the Far Left of the Political Spectrum.

They began their Cultural Jihad against the traditional faith and values of Americans by starting social programs which they claimed were necessary to raise people out of poverty.

In reality, these programs replaced the Traditional Family Unit with a “benevolent” and massive central government which working Americans now know of unaffectionately as “Uncle Sugar”.

Over the decades, these types of programs and this ongoing mission to “radically change” our country by the Far Left, has resulted in the propagandizing of our school system and the acceptance and glorification of behaviors which, when I was in college in the late 1970s, were deemed as deviant, according to a College Sociology Course I took.

In the ensuing decades, all of the things which had made America great, especially Christianity and Patriotism, were deemed as narrow-minded, bigoted, and somehow, oppressive by Far Left Politicians and “Experts”.

Now, we are witnessing Joe Biden and the Far Left Democrats attempt to take our tools of personal and family defense away from us as we witness the America we love being mercilessly attacked and destroyed in front of our very eyes.

So, here we are living in a world that reminds us of Bizarro World in the Superman comic books we used to read as children before they became propaganda literature published by the Far Left.

Make no mistake, this is not about a battle between political parties anymore, this is a battle between Good and Evil.

This is a battle for the soul of America.

If you think that we are not in a battle for the soul of our country, then why do you think they are calling us “Christian Nationalists”?

Biden Attacks Second Amendment During Gun Control Speech to the Nation

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”- Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

Last night, the dementia-riddled old fool in the White House, Joe Biden, gave a nonsensical speech in which he declared that the Second Amendment is not absolute.

Quite frankly, boys and girls, Biden is so full of crap that his eyes are brown.

Here is how our Founding Fathers would have responded to the Dummy From Delaware, Joe Biden…

[T]he said Constitution [should] be never construed . . . to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms. Samuel Adams, Signer of the Declaration, “Father of the American Revolution”

The right . . . of bearing arms . . . is declared to be inherent in the people. Fisher Ames, A Framer of the Second Amendment in the First Congress 

[T]he advantage of being armed [is an advantage which] the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation. . . . [I]n the several kingdoms of Europe . . . the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. James Madison, U.S. President, Signer of the Constitution, a Framer of the Second Amendment in the first congress

[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them. Richard Henry Lee, Signer of the Declaration, A Framer of the Second Amendment in the First Congress 

Democrats like Biden believe that the Constitution is a “fluid” document, subject to change to fit the political ideology of those who happens to be the majority party, presiding over the Executive and Legislative Branches of our Federal Government at the time.

That is where they are wrong…and they know it…but, they do not care, as evidenced by the bullying and didactic tone which Biden took during his teleprompter-delivered talking points last night.

The Constitution was written by brilliant men who foresaw the possibility of a minority of tyrants attempting to take over and change our Constitutional Republic into a tyrannical form of government, such as they left behind in Europe.

And, that, boys and girls, after hearing President Joe Biden threaten the Second Amendment, appears to be exactly what the Democrats want for the future of our Sovereign Nation and our children and grandchildren.

By proclaiming, like a monarch, that “no amendment is absolute”, Biden has warned us that changing the Second Amendment of OUR Constitution, a part of OUR Bill of Rights, is a very real possibility, if he can get the “Fools on the Hill”, otherwise known as Congress, to go along with it.

And, if that happens, what is to stop them from “radically changing” the First Amendment, as well?

And, God forbid, if all of that happens, our Constitutional Republic will no longer exist and America will be just another failed Democratic Socialist Third World Barrio, instead of “The Shining City Up On A Hill”.

Trump Speaks to NRA About Uvalde Massacre

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Yesterday, Former President Donald J Trump spoke at the annual National Rifle Association Convention being held in Houston, TX, just three days after a gunman killed 21 people, including 19 children, at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, just a four-hour drive from the NRA event.

This is what a President sounds like…

…as opposed to the current Resident in the White House.

”We need to drastically change our approach to mental health,” Trump told the crowd.

”There are always so many warning signs; almost all of these disfigured minds share the same profile. When people see something, whether on social media or in school, they need to say something.

”Teachers, parents, school officials and community members need to be recognizing and addressing these alarm bells promptly very, very aggressively and our school discipline systems, instead of making excuses and continually turning a blind eye, need to confront bad behavior head on and quickly and clearly we need to make it far easier to confine the violent and mentally deranged into mental institutions.”

Trump also called for common ground among lawmakers and slammed the ”familiar parade of cynical politicians seeking to exploit the tears of sobbing families to increase their own power and take away our constitutional rights.”

”Even more repulsive is their rush to shift blame away from the villains who commit acts of mass violence and to place that blame onto the shoulders of millions of peaceful law-abiding citizens who belong to organizations such as our wonderful NRA,” he said.

”When Joe Biden blamed the gun lobby, he was talking about Americans like you. And, along with countless other Democrats this week, he was shamefully suggesting that Republicans are somehow OK with letting school shootings happening. They’re not OK with it.

”This rhetoric is highly divisive and dangerous and, most importantly, it’s wrong and has no place in our politics.””(Courtesy NewsMax.com)

Today’s Democrats do not care about our Constitutional Rights, all they care about is absolute power.

That is why a man like Former President Trump is such a threat to them.

While they speak down to us, Trump speaks to us

While they speak in platitudes filled with theories and promises designed to perk up the ears of millennials and the Far Left, Trump gets straight to the point and speaks to average Americans like their next door neighbor would.

Yesterday, Trump said what average Americans are thinking.

Per usual, he was spot-on in his assessment of the Democrats’ attempt to use the slaughter of innocent children to try to take away our Constitutional Right to bear arms.

The Democrats are digging themselves a political hole that they are not going to be able to dig themselves out of…ever.

Americans are recognizing them for what they are.

And, November is not that far off.

Y’know, that thought makes me smile…a lot.

Schumer Kills Senate Bill That Would Make Our Schools Safer

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

The day after 19 innocent schoolchildren and 2 teachers were killed by a psychopath, Senator Chuck Schumer killed a bill which would have potentially provided stronger security in our nation’s schools.

The bill, named after Parkland, Florida, shooting victims Luke Hoyer and Alex Schachter, would require the Department of Homeland Security to establish a “Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Best Practices” for use by state and local educational and law-enforcement agencies, institutions of higher education, health professionals, and the public. And it would require DHS to “collect clearinghouse data analytics, user feedback on the implementation of best practices and recommendations identified by the clearinghouse, and any evaluations conducted on these best practices and recommendations.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Why did Schumer kill that bill?

He killed it because the Democrat Elite care more about taking away law-abiding Americans’ guns than they do about the safety of our children.

The Democrats’ never-ending quest for “Gun Control”, if successful, would only succeed in controlling law-abiding American Citizens, instead of punishing those who operate outside of our laws, such as the thugs who have turned Former President Obama’s “hometown” of Chicago and my hometown of Memphis into their own personal “Killing Fields” and the Marxist Anarchists who threaten to riot in our major cities SCOTUS rules the wrong way on the Abortion Case before them now.

The leader of the bloody Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin, once wrote that

“One man with a gun can control 100 without one.”

If the Democrats had their way, we would live in a country under the oppression of restrictive gun laws, which would be modeled after those in Europe. And, as past events have plainly shown, those restrictive gun laws have allowed Islamic Terrorists and other murderous nut jobs to kill innocent people unchallenged, because none of those innocent people were allowed to carry a weapon with which to defend themselves.

In fact, in some cases, even the police officers, who first arrived on the scene, were unarmed, and had to call for additional forces, thus giving the perpetrators more time to murder and maim the innocent.

One of our Founding Fathers, Dr. Benjamin Franklin, once wrote,

“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

Like Dr. Franklin and the rest of those who have fought for our freedom, average Americans realize what Democrats do not.

The problem in stopping mass murders and other shooting deaths from happening is not that there are not enough gun laws. The problem is the gun laws on the books are not properly enforced.

The dissolution of the Family Unit, the revolving door state of our Municipal Justice Systems and the lack of recognition and treatment of the mentally ill and wannabe Terrorists and Marxist Anarchists, has a lot to do with the rise of these horrible massacres in America and the horrible violence which plagues cities like Chicago and Memphis.

What Liberals have never understood, in their continuous quest to take away the Second Amendment rights of average Americans, is that we will never surrender our Constitutional Right to defend ourselves and our families from enemies foreign and domestic.

What part of the words quote “shall not be infringed” do you Liberals not understand?

Passing more restrictive gun laws is not the answer.

Criminals are called “outlaws” for a reason.

They will find a way to get guns. They do now.

I agree with what Former President Trump said when Candidate Biden brought up Gun Control: “Hit the animals hard”.

This is a people problem. Not a gun problem.

After all, have you ever seen a gun pull its own trigger?

The Uvalde Elementary School Massacre is Not a Gun Problem…It’s an EVIL Problem.

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“We live in an entertainment culture soaked in graphic, often sadistic, violence. Older folks find themselves stunned by what a desensitized youth finds routine, often amusing. It’s not just movies. Young men sit for hours pulling video-game triggers, mowing down human beings en masse without pain or consequence. And we profess shock when a small cadre of unstable, deeply deranged, dangerously isolated young men go out and enact the overlearned narrative.” – Dr. Charles Krauthammer

“A mass shooting at a Texas elementary school killed 14 children and one teacher Tuesday and the suspected gunman was killed, Gov. Greg Abbott said.

Abbott identified the suspect as Salvador Romas, a Uvalde resident, who is also dead and acted alone, authorities said. He had a handgun and possibly a rifle when he opened fire at Robb Elementary School, he said. Two police officers were shot and wounded but were expected to survive, Abbott said. 

“Texans across the state are grieving for the victims of this senseless crime and for the community of Uvalde. Cecilia and I mourn this horrific loss and we urge all Texans to come together to show our unwavering support to all who are suffering,” he said in a statement.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

The demonic shooter murdered his own grandmother before going to the school and slaghtering innocent children.

As I write this, the number of innocent lives lost has been updated to 18 children and adults.

The gunman was killed at the school by responding officers.

There are no excuses which can suffice in regards to the actions of this young man who so heinously and efficiently took the lives of those innocent children whom he struck down in cold blood.

Biden Uses Memorial Service for Fallen Police Officers to Push Police Reform and Gun Control, and to call January 6th an “Insurrection”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Biden FOP

Newsmax reports that

President Joe Biden on Saturday vowed to move forward with policing reform, telling a gathering honoring slain officers that their profession is called on to do too much.

“We expect you to be everything,” Biden said in a speech in front of the U.S. Capitol, mourning 491 law enforcement officers who died at work in 2019 and 2020. “We expect everything of you.

“And it’s beyond the capacity of anyone to meet the total expectations,” he said. “Being a cop today is one hell of a lot harder than it’s ever been.”

Biden’s own drafting of his remarks came as he learned of a shooting earlier on Saturday in Houston, which left one deputy dead and two injured. Biden expressed sorrow for the incident.

Biden has been a loyal ally to law enforcement, dating back to his days in the Senate when he crafted a 1994 crime bill with their help.

But his support for broad reforms following the 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis by an officer created some tension with police groups opposed to some of the reforms promoted by Democrats.

The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), a major officers’ union which sponsored Saturday’s event, endorsed Biden’s Republican opponent Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

Efforts to reach a bipartisan police reform deal failed in September, marking a setback for the Democratic president, who campaigned on taking such action.

Biden on Saturday credited the FOP with “sincerely trying to reach an agreement.” He added, “We haven’t gotten there,” but “must” do so.

The president said he would work to get police departments the support and funding they need. Biden has already asked Congress for hundreds of millions of dollars to help law enforcement agencies with training and recruitment,

Biden has also said he will explore further executive actions he can take to help hold police officers accountable for breaking the law. Officers, he said, need more backup from mental-health and other professionals to deal with issues they face on the streets.

Biden credited law enforcement agencies with upholding U.S. democracy during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

And he repeated his proposed measures to reduce gun violence, including against officers, a set of efforts that has also largely stalled given insufficient support in Congress, which Democrats control by only narrow margins in both chambers.

Nearly 50 officers have been killed this year by gunfire, according to the FOP, more than in all of 2020.

The National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service began in 1982 as a small gathering of approximately 120 survivors and supporters of law enforcement. It has since turned into a series of events, attracting thousands of officers and the families of victims to the nation’s capital each year.

The White House issued a proclamation ordering flags to be flown at half-staff at public buildings on Saturday.

Biden is trying to be everything to everybody…and failing miserably.

He is sucking up to the FOP while his fellow members of the Far Left Democratic Party want to defund them and replace them with Social Workers.

Where did this idea that the Liberals are pushing of “community policing” come from?

On July 2, 2008, Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama proclaimed in a speech:

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

This part of Barack Hussein Obama’s political platform was quickly hidden away, never to be spoken of again.

At least, not openly.

As is my wont to do, I have been thinking back over Obama’s Imperial Presidency, and his statements concerning America’s Municipal Law Enforcement Organizations.

When issues involving law enforcement arose during his presidency, time and again, Obama came on the opposite side from every single local law enforcement organization.

Now, isn’t the President of the United States supposed to be on the side of Law and Order?

Biden certainly isn’t.

Neither is the man pulling his strings, the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm).

Why would Barack Hussein Obama not support local law enforcement during his “first” presidency?

Perhaps, because he wanted to build a National Municipal Law Enforcement Organization, under his command and the command of the Department of Justice.

Fast forward to today…

All of the cities and states which have experienced “trouble”  with police departments happen to be Blue States with Democrats in charge of State and Municipal Governments.

Instead of relying on traditional police departments and the American System of Law and Order, Democrats like those in the Minneapolis City Council want to have the power to circumvent the American System of Justice because of their issues in the past with it.

The death of ex-convict George Floyd gave them the excuse to attempt to defund police departments.

And now, with a Democrat in office, those who oppose Law and Order are all taking the side of the criminals.

Even the Democrat sitting behind the Oval Office…when he is not taking a nap.

Just like a criminal does not represent an entire race, neither do bad policemen represent an entire nation’s Law Enforcement Officers.

They are heroes.

And, while Biden’s Handlers had him speaking of his support for our men and women who comprise the Thin Blue Line, his previous campaign promises and proclamations say otherwise.

He is just another Far Left Democrat Politician who lies as easily as he breathes.

The overwhelming majority of Americans appreciate the Men and Women in Blue.

So do I.

So, please allow me to end today’s post with the text of a classic narration by the late, great Paul Harvey  titled “What is a Policeman?”

“A policeman is a composite of what all men are, I guess, a mingling of saint and sinner, dust and deity. What that really means is that they are exceptional, they are unusual. They are not commonplace. Buried under the froth is the fact, the fact is that less than one half of one percent of policeman misfit that uniform, and that is a better average than you’d find among clergymen.“What is a policeman?

“He of all men is at once the most needed, and the most wanted, a strangely nameless creature who is sir to his face and pig or worse behind his back. He must be such a diplomat that he can settle differences between individuals so that each will think he won, but, if a policeman is neat, he’s conceited, if he’s careless he’s a bum, if he’s pleasant, he’s a flirt, if he’s not, he’s a grouch.

“He must make instant decisions that would require months for a lawyer but if he hurries he’s careless, if he’s deliberate, he’s lazy. He must be first to an accident, infallible with diagnoses. He must be able to start breathing, stop bleeding, tie splints and above all, be sure the victim goes home without a limp.

“The police officer must know every gun, draw on the run and hit where it doesn’t hurt.

“He must be able to whip two men twice his size and half his age without damaging his uniform, and without being brutal. If you hit him he’s a coward, if he hits you, he’s a bully. The policeman from a single human hair must be able to describe the crime, the weapon the criminal, and tell you where the criminal is hiding but, if he catches the criminal he’s lucky, if he doesn’t he’s a dunce.

“He runs files and writes reports until his eyes ache to build a case against some felon who will get dealt out by some shameless shamus. The policeman must be a minister, a social worker, a diplomat, a tough guy, and a gentle man. And of course, he’ll have to be a genius, because he’ll have to feed a family on a policeman’s salary.”

Until He Comes,
