Bill Mahar reminds me of John Fetterman. Each of them is capable of leaning in left, yet they each remain capable of seeing a position held by the right as correct.
They want violent subhumans released from Jail? Force every one of these idiots to take into their home a rapist, murderer, mentally unhinged sick twist, arsonist etc. released from prison on day one. Let's see how that works out for them.
The best gun for home defense is the one you’re most comfortable with.
The gun you’re most comfortable with will be any gun you practice extensively with.
If you’re worried about “but bullets go through walls and I might kill my own family!” issues, train like your life depends on it, because it does, so you can hit what you’re aiming at.
Bullets don’t just go through 2 layers of 1/2” drywall, they go through 2” wood doors, so if you don’t live alone, a frangible round might be a consideration for indoors. They are available in most calibers.
If you have someone who’s afraid of guns, start them on a suppressed 22.
If you don’t want to deal with gun training, get a dog with a big voice.
(Folks, THIS is the Best Advice you will get on the subject! Clip it and paste it. Your "system" won't help much if your first time to "test" it is when you're scared absolutely to death when you need to be clear-headed. [A "frangible" round is one that fractures into pieces on impact, reducing its travel distance.] Thanks, Kid...)
While many consider so... I'm of the opinion that a 12ga shotgun is the best option... for a variety of reasons... #1 being that there is nothing more deterring than the sound of a 12ga round being racked home... and of course upon release, that the devastation is unequaled.
20-ga pump-action shotgun (the sound may be enough) with pistol grip for use in tight spaces with 3-inch shells loaded with #3 buckshot (18-20 pellets), so even the Missus and the teen misses can be taken seriously. Realistic training is 𝙙𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙧.
And much like the frangible rounds, if you want to send a message but don’t necessarily want to kill the intruder, use bird shot instead of 00buck. But even bird shot can be deadly at close range.
This is a good time to review Exodus 22:2-4
““If the thief is caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account. But if the sun has risen on him, there will be bloodguiltiness on his account. He shall surely make restitution; if he owns nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. If what he stole is actually found alive in his hand, whether an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double.”
In other words, you are straight up guilt-free allowed to kill an intruder at night when the situation is such that everything is dark, you’re half-asleep, no one should ever be coming into your house for any reason, and yet there he is with unknown motives.
Yes I have an AK 12 that holds 10 shells. Crazy fun, But it is a boat anchor. I've been hunting for the 20g version of the Mossburg 88 with the security barrel, but those are a rare breed. Ultimately I wanted the security barrel and the full length barrel in 20g to swap for hunting, but I may have to just settle for the 12g. Mossburg actually sell the 12g version as a combo kit.
The DSA is co-opted by the DNC. I think this is all a distraction.
Their real plan is still the New World Order. That includes 15 minute cities, no cash but CBDCs, cameras EVERYWHERE, say something "bad" online they turn off your money, no cars only public transport, more bugs in your food & fake meat, mandatory vax for who knows what & if you don't take it they punish you & of course a social credit system. If you go below a certain amount of points on your social credit score you lose a lot of privileges just like it is in China right now.
Not to be totally depressing just remember there are more of us than them. It only takes 3% of the population to stand up & say NO
... and the only way to effectively say NO is to make sure to vote in the upcoming mid-terms. We Canadians are counting on you to keep Donald Trump in the advantageous position he has now.
Don Surber’s comments were basically mimicking Jenna’s today. My contribution:
Truth - if you are very frustrated and demoralized by the state of our country, and you let that apathy carry you over to a decision not to vote - you are the reason we can kiss our country goodbye. Choosing to sit out the mid terms this year is not an option, it is the path to national suicide, and that would be down to YOU - every single person who is having a tantrum and NOT VOTING. Don’t be one of the reasons (people) who let our country slide into communism because you just had enough. There is one lever you can pull that counts, and I’m praying you get over yourself and come November you - PULL. IT.
Marlene, also "mail in" ballots should be abolished or tightly monitored. What happened in Ca recently should be a wake up call to everyone who cares about fair elections.
In the midterms - vote your conscience. Doesn’t matter how unpopular you think your preferred candidate is, vote for them, not who you THINK might have the best shot.
Then in the general election - vote your party. Doesn’t matter if you like your candidate or don’t, it’s the party in majority that matters more than who your state put there.
God help the “independents” (aka the mushy middle) who can’t decide from one week to the next which party is better this time.
I disagree. We have a uniparty. Both republicans and Dems are voting to ruin our cities and our country, at all levels of govt. trump supported Operation Warp Speed and he still stands by that accomplishment. Trump took us into the nonsensical and destructive war with Iran. Both parties are corrupt. republicans in Congress couldn't even pass the legislation to guarantee election integrity. We need a third party or we the people will lose what our founders fought for and bequeathed to us. everyone who says that's impossible is keeping us locked into the system that is ruining us. The lesson is that we need to be bold and stand together for freedom like our nation's founders did in the 1770s.
A third party only fractures one of the existing two parties, and if you fracture the “more right” party, you will be left with the “more left” party dominating. That never ends well.
What we need is more good candidates and people willing to elect and support them. For as much as the farce of voting is effective, we aren’t maximizing it.
I tend to be swimming in the same lane, NewKid! Their plan hasn’t changed one bit. Distraction is the name of the game to keep our nervous systems firing on all cylinders at all times. As a result, most people cannot move beyond first order thinking. Aka, all sounds good until one moves into second and third order thinking!
Tax BILLIONAIRES 5% of their wealth in The Communist Republic of California! Sounds like a good and fair plan! Those bastards! Hmmm… so, those bastards…
I will allow y’all to engage in your own second and third order thinking on the above mentioned ballot measure!
What if I told you that the NWO stands for the Nazi World Order, meaning Global Communism?
All the things mentioned are in fact, controlling the means of production, in some form or fashion.
Therefore, the war(s) has/have ALWAYS been about Communism vs Capitalism.
ALL of them.
Controlling the People vs Giving The Power Back To The People.
Kinda like the British System of Systems vs The American System.
Privileges given by Big Gov vs Rights given by God.
Admiralty Law (Law of the Water -> Contract Law) vs Common Law (Law of the Land -> God's Law)
"Ve vill TOTALLY control how much money you get" (via being taxed up the wazoo) vs "Imma gonna go out there and make as much money as I can/want!" (no taxation without representation).
Just food for thought Friend.
[They] never saw President Trump, the Team and THE TEAM coming.
And when [they] finally did, the snowball was already half way down the mountain.
I'm waiting until after Labor Day when voters start paying attention and then I'll watch how the Republicans respond. The ads write themselves, beginning with using video of Democrats' failure to clap or stand during Trump's State of the Union. The average voter doesn't pay attention in the summer.
Also, we need to take into account 'Low (political) Intelligent Voter.' I'm afraid most voters might get duped into voting Demoncratic. Since most voters are far from rich, slogans such as: "Take from the wealthy and give to the poor," might sound reasonable to a LIV unless they understand the long-term implications. Understanding what might happen after the election is too late!
He's amazing. He's worked hard to make a recovery. I wonder if his experience has made him question everything more, and that's why he's more middle of the road.
Mine also. I didn't vote for him but most likely will vote for him if he changes parties. He has to know that he can't change the Democrat party and that some crazed Philadelphia communist will primary him.
Great column Jenna. Rather than say the word “communist” 1000 times until it loses all meaning (Just like Fascist has lost all meaning, to the left anyway), try pointing to what is actually happening in Mamdani-land NYC. The rich, who can afford to do so, are fleeing like fleas. The rest of them need to, whether they can afford to or not.
The blurring of insulting labels has helped the Mamdanis of America gain traction. The label Communist is no different than being called a Facist, Racist or A-Hole. The reality of Communism doesn’t register until the Communist takes your property or funds for “the common good”.
I have another theory; a lot of Americans are irredeemably lazy and stupid. My other notion is that these Demo-commie politicians and DSA operatives all sound very seditious to me. They are literally seeking to undermine and overthrow the US government and not secretly. I would suggest labeling them domestic terrorists or enemy combatants, sending the military to arrest them and toss them in Gitmo for tribunals. How many signs are needed before action is taken?
Lately I'm reading writers who are advocating for a counterrevolution. Chris Rufo is one. It's time to take the communists at their word, and the Constitution is not a suicide pact.
Where did the democrats expect their path to lead? A perfect metaphor of the myth of lemmings. ( I’m not sure lemmings actually run off precipices but democrats actually do….so sorry to lemmings out there)
I think Bill Maher is right on in his assessment. But I also think he has a tremendous need to be thought of as right and ahead of the curve. I used to be a fan but am no longer. Once in a while he gets it right. I certainly hope that people will be smart enough to know socialism doesn’t really work if you look at history. We have enough socialism already with schools and police and fire which is a form of socialism, which I’m ok with.
Are you ok with coerced socialism like Social Security and Medicare? Especially since GenX is going to get royally screwed with a likely 25% discount by 2032 (and they keep pushing the year up.)
How can we claim to be free when we can’t even invest our hard-earned dollars as we choose? The Amish can fill out form 4029 and not pay social security and Medicare since they are from “a recognized religious group that has existed continuously since December 31, 1950.”
Not really ok with it. I’ve paid taxes for schools for decades and had never had health insurance until Medicare which I don’t use. Not sure what the answer is about all this.
I worked all the time and paid the max deductions every year but non-working spouses get social security at half their husband’s without having invested similar. There is no perfect system. But between what I paid in plus what my employer paid I would have a heck of a lot more money in a private account.
Yes, I paid for schools, even though we sent our kids to catholic school (until high school, since it was double the cost) but that never bothered me too much since I thought back then it's better to have public schools than not to have them, but paying insurance premiums that won't cover less invasive/alternative treatments seems wrong. I anticipate medicare will be the same.
But then doing the math for SS. It's theft by government, which means we are not really free. We need to at least have a choice.
I’m guessing the Trump accounts may be a start as a way to eventually replace social security. I think he’s also talked about expanding these to other groups.
On November 18, 1956 Nikita Khrushchev said, "We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism."
It began in the Academy, in particular, the Ivies. Now it's in schools of education in state universities. Kruschev said what every Marxist has known since at least the 1930's.
Meh. I've been forever in the lane that thinks that all time devoted to Maher is wasted. He hasn't done or said anything that indicates that his TDS (still omnipresent) won't revert to its mean when the pressure's on. Same thing as the mind or body reverting to its worst training when stressed. He will find a reason NOT to vote R, no matter what's going on over on that side.
Bill Mahar reminds me of John Fetterman. Each of them is capable of leaning in left, yet they each remain capable of seeing a position held by the right as correct.
Fetterman still strongly supports vaccines and covid jabs. Write to him about them and he responds with pro vax statements only.
I wrote to him about closing the borders and he replied with a defense of open borders. Smh
As the meme says…
I hope the “defund the police” people soon realize that they are the only thing protecting you from me.
Boom!
Now that suppressors aren’t taxed, maybe boom with a lowercase b. 🤭🤭🤭
Please see below for my response to Pastor Mike... :)
Exactly
They want violent subhumans released from Jail? Force every one of these idiots to take into their home a rapist, murderer, mentally unhinged sick twist, arsonist etc. released from prison on day one. Let's see how that works out for them.
Somehow, they keep forgetting who has all of the guns.

The mid-terms are a race to the bottom. It should be easier for the democrats to do better than the GOP, if the GOP is as bad as they say.
As it turns out, it should not be hard to beat democrats with the crap they are turning out. But the GOP is not even capitalizing on that.
I'm waiting until after Labor Day when voters start paying attention and then I'll watch how the Republicans respond. The ads write themselves, beginning with using video of Democrats' failure to clap or stand during Trump's State of the Union. The average voter doesn't pay attention in the summer.
Surber sizes up the democrats, while acknowledging some of these losers may win:
https://donsurber.substack.com/p/its-the-candidates-stupid?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=kdm7d
I think they only win if conservatives and shocked Dems fail to vote. That said, I LOVE Surber's work. 😁
Also, we need to take into account 'Low (political) Intelligent Voter.' I'm afraid most voters might get duped into voting Demoncratic. Since most voters are far from rich, slogans such as: "Take from the wealthy and give to the poor," might sound reasonable to a LIV unless they understand the long-term implications.

Anyone else notice how much smoother J. Fetterman's speech is becoming?

The rich, who can afford to do so, are fleeing like fleas. The rest of them need to, whether they can afford to or not.
And the ones who supported mamdani just got doxxed re: the pied-a-terre tax and are complaining about it.
You left out one important qualifying word. Our. It's OUR democracy. A threat to OUR democracy.
It's OUR Republic, if We can keep it.
When they say "our" democracy, they mean "their " democracy.
Precisely. That's exactly what I meant. They never forget to use the qualifier. Even their propaganda media. They mean exactly what they say.
Same thing with "Nazi". These words are tossed around like candy and rarely understood.
The blurring of insulting labels has helped the Mamdanis of America gain traction. The label Communist is no different than being called a Facist, Racist or A-Hole. The reality of Communism doesn’t register until the Communist takes your property or funds for “the common good”.
