Category: Comment O’ The Day

To all the naysayers I’ve read online disparaging Jordan Salinas taking on the shooter with a 5.7;
Teddy Roosevelt told you off in 1910.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.

I’ve posted this elsewhere so it’s a recycle(sorry about that). If they admit to themselves that they were wrong, and seriously wrong, then they might start wondering about what else they might be wrong (umm, incorrect?) about.

And where does that lead, Immigration, Climate Change? Were they wrong about Israel\Gaza? Were they wrong about Trump (the horror, the horror). Were they wrong about Socialism, Communism, China, Net Zero. The Population Bomb exploded in their face, ditto Peak Oil, And so on and so forth.

Deep down they can’t admit the people they consider inferiors (intellectually, morally, ethically, spiritually fillintheblankly) might have been correct. Once the Cascade Preference starts you don’t know where it will end. The horror, the horror, indeed.

By the way as the old saying goes With Friends like that who needs enemies. I believe the correct appellation is he was a Fair Weather Friend.

Sounds like someone needs to question the constitutionality of 18-20 year olds serving in the military

Mike Bales

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery.
You don’t have to support him. That’s America.

But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.

You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.

Daniel Turner –

Virginia’s gerrymandering was called “fairness”.
Chris Murphy was being “sarcastic”.
Joe Biden has a “stutter”.
Gavin Newsom is suddenly “dyslexic”.
Ilhan Omar made an “accounting error”.
Eric Swalwell was “flirty”.
SPLC was paying “informants”.

All they do is lie.

Kostas Moros –
While I ridicule the antigunners a lot, I don’t think I was ever more disgusted than when I saw how upset they were when Elisjsha Dicken stopped a mass shooting. They could barely hide their rage.
They would have preferred he wasn’t there to stop the killer, because of how that example hurts their narratives. They would have preferred more people murdered, so they could use that to push gun bans.
Everytown being angry about this HK ad, showing totally lawful self-defense and defense of others, is in that same vein.
The ad is actually extremely healthy in its message, saying that its subject could only stop a mass shooting because he chose a good gun (their gun of course, it is still an ad), got training, and stored it responsibly in a safe at home. It even shows him not shooting it very well at first, but continuing to train until he got better. And it’s an ad for a small handgun, not a scary “assault weapon.”
It’s literally the least controversial modern gun ad I’ve seen. So what the hell is Everytown’s problem? Oh right, they want to ban all guns, so NO gun advertising is ever acceptable.
By the way, ads like this do a very good thing. They send a message to would-be mass shooters that they might get smoked quickly, and their fame-seeking may thus end in humiliation. That’s a deterrent to mass shootings. So it’s a shame more people don’t see them given gun ads don’t play on TV and such.

To the Mayor of Chicago;
The US has been engaged in active military operations against Iran for 38 days.
13 Americans have died.
During that same period, over 40 Americans have died by homicide in Chicago.
Media silence….
So spare me your fake moral outrage!
