Cynical Publius

Dear Democrats:

So many of you continue to inflame Charlie Kirk’s death by celebrating it. I know why you celebrate it: you genuinely believe Charlie (and the rest of us) are fascist racists who want transgender people in death camps and young women in real “Handmaid” costumes.

YOU GENUINELY BELIEVE THIS.

And that, my fellow Americans, is the problem.

I want to solve that problem. I know it is highly unlikely that any of you will listen, but I will try to help you see reality anyway:

1. Opposing official policies that pass judgment on individuals based solely on their skin color is not “racist.” In fact, it’s actually anti-racist.

2. Opposing abortion means we want to save human lives, not that we want you in a red dress and a hood living out some S&M cosplay that you secretly crave.

3. Self-defense is an inherent human right. Guns are the great equalizer that allow the weak to protect themselves from stronger predators. That is the main reason we support gun rights: to preserve life, not to end it.

4. We want less government and more personal liberty. That is the complete antithesis of “fascism.”

5. We believe the same thing all mankind has believed for millennia until about ten minutes ago: there are only two genders, and God made us man and woman. We don’t challenge your adult right to mutilate yourselves with the wrong hormones and surgery; we just are not willing to agree that you are ACTUALLY the wrong sex. Our belief is held in good faith, peacefully, and nobody wants to lock you up for wearing a dress.

Democrats, you need not agree with our positions. You simply need to understand that calling us “Nazis” for holding these positions is a sort of defamation that has zero basis in fact or logic. You have been brainwashed into believing our positions are somehow objectively evil. Until you recognize that we hold our beliefs in good faith, and that people of good faith can hold differing positions without hating each other, this violence will get worse.

Because that violence is all coming from your side, fueled by your defamatory rhetoric.

When you stop lying, you will stop giving fuel to the violent crazies on your side.

So stop lying.

For your own sakes, and the sake of this nation. Haven’t you figured out yet that you have pushed us too far?

Sincerely,
CP

JD Vance delivers a State of the Union worthy speech to the nation on the Charlie Kirk Show
He calls out the mainstream media for lying about Charlie Kirk after death and says that unification can begin only after there is a reckoning of truth.

I’m going to put it bluntly.

They thought they wanted this. They thought they could keep pushing and they would break us. They thought they had the upper hand.

They pushed too far and they have taken us to the point of no return.

Now, they are realizing they didn’t want this. They are realizing we wont be broken. They are realizing they don’t have the upper hand.

The ball has been returned to our court, and we’re better at the game than they are. The game that they wrote the rules for.

So good luck ever getting the ball back again.

We’re done playing fair.

Welcome to the new version of the game.

Our game.

Smith & Wesson Announces Grand Opening of World-Class Training Academy

Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, announces today the grand opening of the new Smith & Wesson Academy.

At Smith & Wesson, our mission extends beyond the production of premium firearms – we are committed to empowering those who carry them. Continuing the esteemed legacies of both the former Smith & Wesson Academy and the Shooting Sports Center in Springfield, MA, which collectively were operational for decades between 1969 to 2017, the newly established Academy serves as a vital resource that reinforces our continued dedication to self-defense training, firearm proficiency, and firearm safety.

Situated on the 236-acre headquarters campus in Maryville, Tennessee, this state-of-the-art facility serves as a premier training destination, featuring pistol and carbine ranges, a multi-purpose flex range, a 300-yard rifle range, and a two-story immersive shoot house. The Academy’s design also incorporates classrooms, a fitness center, and offices that will house a team of world-class experts leading the training programs. Starting this weekend, a registration portal will be available on the Smith & Wesson Academy website for a variety of training courses focused on pistol, carbine, and rifle platforms. These courses will range from introductory skills and safety to advanced techniques.

The Smith & Wesson Academy team will be led by renowned instructor Mark “Coch” Cochiolo. Mark is a retired U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer with over three decades of service in Naval Special Warfare. Throughout his distinguished military career, he has operated in a range of elite roles, including special warfare operator, breacher, weapons instructor, training officer, and operational tester. Mark completed four SEAL deployments to the Western Pacific and served eight years with the Navy’s premier counterterrorism unit, where he conducted operations across Eastern Europe and the Middle East. His final assignment placed him in a senior leadership role as Chief Warrant Officer responsible for training and combat systems with Naval Special Warfare Unit Three (NSWU-3). Following his retirement from active duty, Mark transitioned to instruction, applying his operational expertise to train the next generations of Navy SEALs. As a contract instructor for Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training, he developed curriculum and trained more than 4,000 SEAL candidates in marksmanship and tactical weapons handling. Recognized for his precision, discipline, and leadership, Mark remains an influential figure in the special operations community.

“My decision to partner with Smith & Wesson stems not only from their strong alignment with my values but also from my personal experience carrying a Smith & Wesson for the past 30 years. Throughout my career, I have worked with a variety of firearm platforms, and I am grateful for the opportunity to leverage that experience in developing effective curriculum at the Academy, helping as many individuals become proficient with their firearms as possible. Smith & Wesson produces dependable, quality firearms – at the Academy, we’ll teach you how to use them,” said Mark “Coch” Cochiolo, Director, Smith & Wesson Academy.

Homeowner shoots, kills intruder in apparent self-defense in Pierce County

PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — A homeowner shot and killed an intruder early Sunday morning in what appears to be a case of self-defense, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident occurred around 1:45 a.m. when the homeowner called 911 to report the shooting.

Deputies arrived at the scene to find a 36-year-old man with a single gunshot wound on the back porch. Despite attempts to save his life, the man was pronounced dead.

Prior to the shooting, the suspect was captured on multiple homeowners’ security cameras walking around various properties in the area.

The 51-year-old homeowner has been cooperative with authorities, and no arrests have been made as the investigation continues.

Detectives and forensic teams are actively working at the scene to gather more information.

Curiosity is the essence of human existence. ‘Who are we? Where are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?’… I don’t know. I don’t have any answers to those questions. I don’t know what’s over there around the corner. But I want to find out. -Eugene Cernan

Well, I had murderous minded Leftists figured out a long time ago.

My less online conservative friends have abruptly awakened this week to the reality that their political opponents are not mere sparring partners in a congenial game of democracy but would celebrate their deaths and those of everyone they love.
That’s why “it feels like something is different now.” They have realized the left is playing for keeps and sees them as subhuman monsters. Watching otherwise pleasant leftist friends or family or colleagues celebrating Kirk’s death on main with their real names attached. It’ll change you.
