Morgan County couple charged following botched at-home circumcision

MORGAN COUNTY, Mo. — A Versailles couple has been charged after attempting to circumcise their son at home.

Online court documents show Tyler Wade Gibson has been charged with abuse or neglect of child and unauthorized practice of medicine. Bailey Alexus Gibson has been charged with abuse or neglect of a child.

A probable cause statement from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department says the Division of Family Services (DFS) contacted them after receiving a report from Columbia University Hospital regarding a child who had been circumcised at home on Nov. 27. The procedure had not gone as planned, according to documents. The Gibsons took the child home on Nov. 28 against medical advice.

Morgan County deputies later spoke with the Gibsons at their home, who agreed to answer questions, according to court documents. Tyler Gibson told deputies he had performed the procedure using a utility tool. When asked if he had medical training, Tyler Gibson said he didn’t, but that he “had conducted research and prayed a blessing.”

Documents also state Bailey Gibson told deputies that she, Tyler Gibson and the child had been at the hospital for over four hours and had left because they were tired of waiting.

Bailey Gibson told deputies she assisted with the procedure, according to the probable cause statement, but had been hesitant about performing the circumcision. When deputies asked why they proceeded, documents say Bailey Gibson did not respond.

Documents say that Tyler Gibson was arrested following the conversation at the Gibson home. Bailey Gibson was taken into custody on Nov. 29, and the probable cause statement indicates five children were removed from the home by DFS.

The Gibsons are currently out of jail on bond.

“I ask sir, what is the militia?”

The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights:

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.1

The individual has a natural right to self-defense to bear arms to meet force with force. This natural right is inherent, and it transcends civil law. It has long been understood by those familiar with Natural Law of this right to bear arms for self-defense and of the duty of the militia to secure their free and independent State. It was also clear to such individuals as to who the militia was, is, and will be. George Mason clarified this when he said,

I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people…To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.2

To better understand this natural right and the meaning behind the Second Amendment, one must also understand the role of the militia. The following was published in The New-Hampshire Gazette and Historical Chronicle on July 5, 1771:

As no Nation or People can be secure from their Enemies and preserve their Independency without the Military Art, it must give Pleasure to every Friend to his County, and the British Nation, to see the present Revival of Military Discipline in this and the neighboring Colonies.

The only Way to have Peace, is to be always ready for War. If the Inhabitants of this Country should always have Virture and Wisdom enough to follow the noble Example of their illustrious Ancestors in training up every Man to the use of Arms, and keeping good Stores of Ammunition, they never need fear the united Force of all their Enemies.

According to the best Computation there are about half a Million of Men fit to bear arms in these Colonies; and the Number increasing so fast that it is supposed within twenty or thirty Years, British America will be able to raise a Million of Men fit to march into the Field of Battle!—If this vast Number should be properly trained to Arms, what Nation or Nations under the Sun would dare enter the List with America, or lift a Hand against her potent Sons!

As a well disciplined Militia is of such vast Importance to the Welfare of this Country, it is the indispensable Duty, and we hope it will be the constant Endeavour of every one to encourage and promote it. Military skill being a great Accomplishment for a Gentleman, as well as the Safeguard and Glory of a Nation, it is hoped that Gentlemen of Character and Fortune will read the Way in this useful Knowledge and Practice, and the lower Clases of People will be ambitions to follow their noble Example.

In this Way a Foundation may be laid for Peace and Tranquility in America to the End of Time. To make the Militia still more respectable, there should be a Major General and a Brigadier General in each Province—And as Musick adds greatly to the Beauty and Pleasure of Military Exercise, there should be other Instruments besides Drums, such as are in the Regular Regiments.

Standing Armies are a poor Defence against a Foreign Enemy, they are oftener the Destruction, then the Defence of a Nation. And it is a certain Evidence of a bad Government where a standing Army is kept up, either to support the Laws, or for a Defence against Enemies, for a wise Government will always make such Laws as are for the public Good, and good Laws want no Armies to support them.

A good Militia is the best Security against all Enemies, and the only Way for a Nation to become formidable and rise to Eminence and Glory.

Pam Bondi is the one that picked him. Trump, out of loyalty to one who defended him at his first impeachment trial, went along without further thought to nominating a jerk who, like Bondi, clearly doesn’t have much respect for individual rights.

Trump’s continuing weak spot is his apparent blind trust is those he considers loyal to him, yet who have shown to have their own agendas at his expense. (And don’t think for a minute that even Musk doesn’t have a personal agenda)

One would have thought by now that he had finally gotten it through his thick skull, that while in commercial business, you can -usually- buy loyalty with a large enough paycheck, in politics, loyalty is based on: ‘and what have you done for me lately?’

Florida Sheriff Chad Chronister withdraws as Trump’s nominee to lead DEA

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister withdrew his name for consideration as President-elect Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

“To have been nominated by President-Elect @realDonaldTrump to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is the honor of a lifetime,” Chronister wrote in a post on X.

“Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration. There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling,” Chronister continued.

He said he appreciated the nomination and support from the American people and that he’s looking forward to continuing his work as sheriff.

District 1 County Commissioner of Lake County Anthony Sabatini called Chronister stepping down a “huge win for liberty.”

“This sheriff ordered the arrest of a pastor for holding services during the COVID panic. He was tapped by Trump to head the DEA. Glad to see him withdraw from consideration. Next time politicians lose their ever-lovin minds, he can redeem himself by following the Constitution,” Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., wrote in a post on X after the sheriff’s announcement.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., spoke to Fox News after Chronister’s withdrawal and defended the sheriff.

“What disqualifies somebody? We all make mistakes throughout life, right? I haven’t talked any details on that yet. But as far as someone making a mistake in their past, give us an example of anybody that hasn’t made a mistake in the past,” Mullin said.

Chronister faced backlash from multiple conservative figures for arresting a pastor for violating COVID rules.

The Rev. Rodney Howard-Browne was arrested in March 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A computer had projected that yesterday was supposed to be the day that aliens from outer space were going to arrive.

I always wanted something on the order of the story written by Harry Turtledove, ( an ‘alternate history’ author who also wrote “The Guns of The South” which had time travelers supplying AKs to the Confederacy, but I digress)  titled “The Road Not Taken”  where aliens with anti-gravity and faster than light spacecraft, but armed with nothing more than muzzle loading arms, arrived to ‘conquer the Earth’.

After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community.
It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd.
The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting.
Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.
— Alexis de Tocqueville

Delusional #Resistance Heroines Literally Believe They’re Jason Bourne-Tier Operatives

These #Resistance Don Quixotes prove, yet again, that Ted Kaczynski, AKA “The Unabomber,” was correct in his analysis that the leftist mind is obsessed with bathing in victimhood, even when it’s entirely imagined — they live it, they breathe it, they savor it.

When they go to sleep at night, they dream of getting shipped off to government work camps by some fascist strongman, their self-identity wrapped up inextricably in invented persecutions.

Via Industrial Society and Its Future (emphasis added)

Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc. are inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)…

Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may not be as strong and as capable as men…

Art forms that appeal to modern leftish intellectuals tend to focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the sensations of the moment.

(As an aside, what a shameful waste of a great intellect to devote one’s life to a solitary existence in a shed in the woods, building and mailing bombs across the country woods when so much good might have come from pursuing a different path.)

They measure their virtue against each other’s, competing to maximize their relative victimhood and ascend, accordingly, further up in the Social Justice™ hierarchy.

White liberal women who occupy the upper crust of the middle class, bleeding into the upper class, in particular, are most eager to advertise their victimhood and commitment to the cause of the liberation of oppressed minorities
precisely because they know that they are, in reality, the opposite of oppressed; one would be hard-pressed to argue that modern Western civilization hasn’t been built around their whims.

The result is performances like these, in which this woman adopts the persona of a James Bond-caliber spy, giving instructions to her clandestine comrades (publicly on social media, ironically) regarding how to purchase burner phones for members of targeted groups — in towns that are not their own, with cash, she emphasizes, so as to avoid the MAGA Gestapo once the round-ups start.

She doesn’t specify what targeted groups she is referencing “at risk of having to flee” a Trump administration, but we can guess: transgenders and assorted alphabet people, legacy fronthole women who want abortions at eight months, non-whites, non-Christians, et al.

Will the fever break once Trump assumes office and these people are free to go about espousing their delusions on social media, definitively not incarcerated?

Only time will tell, but inertia is a hell of a thing.
