3 shot, including suspect, during dispute over tools at northern Jefferson County home

A 32-year-old man was jailed early Friday following a shooting that left three people injured in northern Jefferson County – including himself.

Brandon Scott Swack, of Morris, is accused of firing on another man during a dispute over tools.

Sheriff’s Sgt. Joni Money said the incident happened about 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the 2000 block of Paradise Valley Road.

According to Money, Swack went to the location demanding to borrow some tools.

Swack became angry when the man declined his request and left the home.
Swack, however, returned a short time later brandishing a pistol.

The victim grabbed a shotgun and when Swack raised his gun, Money said, the victim fired, striking Swack in the face.

Swack then began randomly firing his pistol, striking the victim and a female who was also at the house.

All three were taken to UAB Hospital for treatment of their injuries. Money said all are expected to recover.

Swack was booked into the Jefferson County Jail shortly after 2 a.m. Friday.

He is charged with attempted murder, first-degree theft of property and first-degree criminal mischief. His bonds total $60,000.

A Flood of Gun Lies Are Coming & You Need to Aggressively Correct Them

When people lie to you to get you to change your actions, you can bet it’s not in your best interest, but it is in theirs. American gun owners possess over 400 million firearms, and so, in order for the Socialists to disarm us, we would have to give them up willingly, as the Australians did.

They cannot rule the streets of our country until we are disarmed. They need to do it with lies because the truth about firearms has always shown that civilian weapons benefit society.

All the honest firearms research has shown that our guns are a net benefit to our society. Our families, and especially our kids, are safer because we own guns!

To this end, the Biden Regime, and the evil Democrat Congress, are again funding firearms research. Many of you do not remember that such funding in the past, in the 1990s, resulted in a large accumulation of FAKE SCIENCE that supposedly ‘proved’ our guns are dangerous to our families. These funding grants were through the US CDC, and after many battles, the funding was stopped because of the obvious corruption.

We will soon be again inundated with another batch of these fabricated lies. They will be fancied up with scientific words and written by paid-off researchers, who live for these types of grants. The articles are then published in prestigious, but very biased, journals.

The US media will repeat these lies until even many of us are no longer certain about the truth. Many in our extended families will become suspicious of us and our firearms and assume that we are dangerous to them.

The spoiled brat left gets a comeuppance in Texas.

Scott Dworkin, who helped organize the resistance and a couple of impeachments, tweeted, “Lt. Col. Vindman is a patriot. Anyone saying differently is a traitor.”

Disagreement is now treason in the eyes of the American left. Of course, anything they dislike is treason or fascist or white supremacist. Actual treason — say surrendering a country after we’ve won a war– does not meet their definition of treason.

It is the finality of his statement that smacks of Veruca Salt.

Veruca Salt is a greedy, demanding, spoiled brat in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (aka Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). She did not care how, she wanted it now.

So it goes with the left.

Their “The Argument Is Over” argument is an attempt to win without every having to defend themselves. They are the team that scores at the top of the first inning and demands to be awarded the game because they are ahead.

They demand instant gratification. The problem with most liberals is they never are satisfied.

What did I say earlier?

WH chief of staff Klain says ‘around’ 100 Americans still in Afghanistan: ‘Many of them want to stay’

White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Sunday there are “around” one hundred U.S. citizens left in Afghanistan and that “many of them want to stay,” despite reports that Taliban fighters have been carrying out violent reprisals on Americans and Afghan allies since the U.S. military completed its withdrawal last week.

Appearing on “State of the Union” with CNN’s Dana Bash, Klain said the U.S. government has been in close contact with the Americans still left in the country who have been located.

Virginia Citizens Defense League Files $450,000 Libel Suit Against Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.

Gun control industry groups and their supporters in politics and the media love to throw around epithets about those of us in the gun rights community. They’re fond of describing law-abiding firearm owners and those who support Second Amendment rights as violent insurrectionists and terrorists.

Earlier this year, the civilian disarmament advocates at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence issued a press release touting the nomination (again) of Democrat Terry McAuliffe for Governor of Virginia. They said the nomination was evidence of “Virginia voters’ commitment to gun violence prevention.”

The release also quoted Lori Haas, CSGV’s Virginia state director, as saying .

Now is not the time to go back. Virginia cannot afford to elect Glenn Youngkin and his outdated and harmful stance on gun violence. His willingness to say anything for a vote is deeply troubling, as we’ve already seen him cozying up to those with deep ties to those at the forefront of the insurrectionist movement, like Senator Amanda Chase and the domestic terror organization, the Virginia Citizens Defense League. Youngkin’s base of support stems from those who promoted the ‘Big Lie,’ stormed the U.S. Capitol and attacked our nation. That is disqualifying. Plain and simple.

It probably didn’t occur to anyone at CSGV HQ to run that inflammatory lie past their attorney. The CSGV later deleted the libelous and defamatory language from the release, but unfortunately for them, the internet is forever.

Now the VCDL has filed suit for libel against the CSGV seeking $450,000 in compensatory and punitive damages.

Here is the VCDL’s press release announcing he lawsuit . . .

Back on June 9, a VA-ALERT item talked about how the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) libeled VCDL and its members by saying VCDL is a “Domestic Terror Organization” in a press release. That press release was published in the media, spreading that defamation.

From the CSGV press release:

“Virginia cannot afford to elect Glenn Youngkin and his outdated and harmful stance on gun violence. His willingness to say anything for a vote is deeply troubling, as we’ve already seen him cozying up to those with deep ties to those at the forefront of the insurrectionist movement, like Senator Amanda Chase and the domestic terror organization, the Virginia Citizens Defense League.”

Here is the FBI’s definition of a “domestic terror organization”:

Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.

VCDL has never even been accused of being involved with or committing any kind of violence, much less a violent criminal act.

VCDL is suing CSGV for libel and Mr. Joel Kanter, the Chairman of the Board of CSGV, has been served the papers. We await CSGV’s initial response, which is due by September 18. Once we have the response, we will update you again.

Possible would-be car burglar shot, killed by homeowner in Kingwood

PORTER, Texas – Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies are investigating after they said a possible would-be car burglar was fatally shot in Kingwood Thursday night.

Deputies said the deadly shooting happened in the driveway of a home located in the 22700 block of Adrift Row Lane around 9 p.m.

According to investigators, a homeowner’s motion detection camera alerted him of some activity in his driveway. Deputies say the homeowner found a 23-year-old man he didn’t know sitting in his car. The homeowner had asked the intruder to leave right before fatally shooting him, deputies said.

“As the male homeowner approached the vehicle, (he) ordered the name subject out at gunpoint,” Specialist S. Squier with Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said. “He became aggressive, uncooperative. The suspect made the statement, ‘I will not go back to prison.’”

Deputies said as the alteration continued, the homeowner fired two shots, striking the subject who went down and was later pronounced dead.

The man’s name has not been released. Deputies said they are still trying to contact his family.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Rangers and the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, are investigating the shooting. There’s no word yet on whether the homeowner will face any charges.

Onondaga County District Attorney: Man ‘saved the lives of several individuals’ after fatally shooting man who fired at crowd

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Demetrius Jackson, the man killed in the Lodi Street shooting on Tuesday, was in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun while outside of 1808 Lodi Street, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.

Jackson threatened multiple people at the location and fired the loaded handgun in the direction of those people, officials said.

Another man, who was on scene and in possession of a 9mm handgun returned fire striking and killing Jackson, Fitzpatrick said.

According to Fitzpatrick, this man has a valid pistol permit for the 9mm handgun.

The District Attorney said in a statement that based on preliminary investigation, it appears the man who shot Jackson saved the lives of several individuals.

The Syracuse Police Department is still investigating the shooting.

The District Attorney’s Office is aware that the man who shot Jackson and other witnesses to the incident have received threats and suffered property damage in what they say appears to be retaliation.

Those acts are currently being investigated, Fitzpatrick said.

BLUF:
The removal of Americans and allies from a hostile power is not a diplomatic mission.
No amount of jawboning at terrorists will save a single life from the human jackals we call Taliban.
The choice to prefer diplomacy over military intervention is lunacy.
It bespeaks a total abandonment of the American cause.
If Biden and those enabling him were serious about leaving no American, no SIV, and no ally behind, they would intervene militarily with speed to secure the immediate and safe evacuation of our countrymen and our allies, before they become Taliban victims.
America’s warfighters are itching at the chance to rescue our people, American honor, and our global standing. They would do so in a heartbeat but this president and his enablers stand in the way.

When the Cowardly Command the Courageous

The Biden administration’s latest act of cowardice in the face of Taliban terror is its assertion that Americans, special immigrant visa (SIV) holders, and Afghan allies left behind in Afghanistan will be led out of the  “diplomatically,” not militarily.  “A new chapter of America’s engagement with Afghanistan has begun,” intoned Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.  “It’s one in which we will lead with our diplomacy. The military mission is over.  A new diplomatic mission has begun.”  In the face of a savage Taliban enemy intent on the murder of every American, the Biden administration is broadcasting to the entire world that we will not resort to military power to save our people and our allies; we will just talk it over with the terrorists. It certainly does not have to be this way. American warfighters are to this day ready to undertake the only sure way to get every American, every SIV holder, and every Afghan out: military intervention.

The confidence our soldiers and our people have in the Soldier’s Creed, that sacred promise to leave no comrade behind, enables us to aspire to greatness and look the enemy in the eye without blinking (consistent with that creed, we win because we never admit defeat, and we never, ever allow an American to be left behind). Rather than fulfill that sacred pledge with courage and honor, Commander in Chief Biden has violated it in a cowardly manner, humiliating our soldiers and our nation in what promises to be an endless series of entirely predictable hostage-takings, executions, and acts of public humiliation.

Don’t mess with Oklahoma either!

Homeowner shoots, kills alleged burglar who reportedly attacked him

A Tulsa homeowner shot and killed a man he said broke into his home, stole his belongings and attacked him with a metal object.

The resident told police Thursday evening that he received an alert that someone was attempting to break into his house near 11th Street and Yale Avenue and that when he arrived, he found a man carrying items from his residence.

The homeowner attempted to keep the man from leaving the property in the 900 block of South Allegheny Avenue while he called 911, but the man began attacking him with a metal object, he said.

The homeowner shot the man in the torso about 5:10 p.m., police said.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he died. His identity had not been released Friday pending notification of his next of kin.

Tulsa Police Homicide Lt. Brandon Watkins said the homeowner was not arrested, with indications that the shooting was in self-defense, but detectives planned to meet with the man and his attorney Friday.

The deceased is the 36th homicide victim in Tulsa this year; detectives worked a separate self-defense slaying earlier Thursday. 

Forbes Deletes Article by Education Expert Asserting That Forcing Children to Wear Masks Causes Psychological Trauma

Forbes deleted an article written by an education expert who asserted that forcing schoolchildren to wear face masks was causing psychological trauma after the piece began to go viral.

The article (archived here) was written by Zak Ringelstein, who has a a PhD in education from Columbia University and founded Zigadoo, an educational and development app aimed at helping children.

Ringelstein explains how he worked hard to remove standardized testing from schools but that this was derailed when the pandemic began, a process that “transformed the American public education system into something unrecognizable: a system of restrictions and mandates far more repressive than standardized testing ever was.”

Ringelstein attacked the notion that “kids are resilient” and can overcome the onerous COVID rules imposed on them by asserting, “Masks and social distancing induce trauma and trauma at a young age is developmentally dangerous, especially for children who are experiencing trauma in other parts of their lives.”

He went further, noting how the new measures were creating classrooms full of lonely, atomized kids.

ACLU: Forced vaccine passports is a win for civil liberties
“We care deeply about civil liberties and civil rights for all – which is precisely why we support vaccine mandates.”

Forcing people to use vaccine passports to access everyday freedoms is apparently protecting their civil liberties, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The organization’s opinion was, for obvious reasons, criticized as part of its continued recent decline into politicalization and moving away from values it once supported.

The ACLU expressed its controversial opinion in an op-ed in The New York Times. According to the civil liberties groups, there is permissibility for COVID-19 vaccine passport mandates because: “The disease is highly transmissible, serious and often lethal; the vaccines are safe and effective; and crucially there is no equally effective alternative available to protect public health.”

The ACLU added: “In fact, far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties. They protect the most vulnerable among us, including people with disabilities and fragile immune systems, children too young to be vaccinated and communities of color hit hard by the disease.”

BLUF:
These five items make it clear that the Democrats’ efforts to build and sustain a majority electoral coalition are not guaranteed in any way by the race-ethnic trends detailed in the Census data and dwelt on by the media. Instead the challenges faced by the Democrats have simply mutated, interacting in profound ways with class and cultural issues that have undercut—and may continue to undercut—presumed gains from rising racial diversity.

Will Census Trends Save the Democrats?
Five Reasons Why That Just Ain’t So

The latest data release from the 2020 Census, which will be used to guide decennial redistricting, has been greeted rather breathlessly by the nation’s media and has been absolute catnip for commentators and observers who lean toward the Democrats. Consider some of these headlines:

“America’s White Population Shrank for the First Time”;

“Vast Stretches of America Are Shrinking. Almost All of Them Voted for Trump”.

“Census release shows America is more diverse and more multiracial than ever”

None of this is necessarily wrong, though it’s worth noting that these findings are consistent with trends of long-standing rather than something qualitatively new. What is questionable however is the political gloss that tends to put on these results. Leftist filmmaker Michael Moore called the announcement “the best day ever in US history”, which, while over the top, fairly represents the delight among most progressives that a presumably conservative white population is in precipitous decline while a presumably liberal nonwhite population keeps growing, the harbinger of a diverse, progressive future America.

At least that’s the story. But, as noted, these trends are ongoing, not new. Why should they now lead to progressive hegemony when they haven’t before? Many on the left appear to believe that, whatever the story up ‘til now, we have finally reached some sort of tipping point where the effects of underlying demographic trends can no longer be denied. Maybe. But then again maybe not.

Here are five reasons the Census trends may not be quite the bonus for Democrats so many want to believe (and others fear).

Tree of Life synagogue disputes Biden’s claim he visited after massacre

President Biden on Thursday told Jewish leaders that he spent time at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after the October 2018 mass murder of 11 people there — but the synagogue told The Post he never visited.

“I remember spending time at the, you know, going to the, you know, the Tree of Life synagogue, speaking with them,” Biden said in a 16-minute virtual address ahead of the Jewish holidays Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Barb Feige, executive director of the Tree of Life, said that Biden did not visit the synagogue in the nearly three years since the anti-Semitic attack.

In a phone interview, Feige, executive director since July 2019, said firmly that “no” Biden didn’t visit, even before taking office when he had a lower public profile as a former vice president and then-Democratic presidential candidate.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Then-President Donald Trump visited the Tree of Life three days after the worst anti-Jewish hate crime in US history. Trump was joined by prominent Jewish members of his administration, including his daughter Ivanka Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

Biden last year issued a statement on the second anniversary of the attack, saying, “When anti-Semitism is allowed to fester, it shreds the fabric of our communities and erodes our soul.”

In his Thursday remarks to Jewish leaders, Biden also praised Pope Francis and shared personal anecdotes about his own links to Judaism and Israel.

“I happen to be a practicing Catholic and one of the things I like about my pope today is that he’s all about renewal and forgiveness… and I hope I’m going to get to see him in the not too distant future,” Biden said.

The president went on to reflect on his daughter Ashley Biden marrying a Jewish surgeon, Howard Krein, in 2012 and to recount his conversations with the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.

“My daughter married a Jewish young man. And, you know, it’s the dream of every Catholic father that she married a Jewish doctor,” Biden joked.

“We had a chuppah on the altar… Now some of you aren’t gonna like this, but it was co-officiated by a Catholic priest as well as a Jewish rabbi.”

Biden said that his only request was for “my favorite hymn” to be played at the wedding — “On Eagle’s Wings” — but that he was unpleasantly surprised when the ceremony instead played “Hava Nagilah.”

“I only asked one thing… And they played, and my mind is going blank now, what’s the song that is played where everybody is on the chair? I can’t remember it. Anyway, but that’s the song that was played,” Biden recounted.

The president added: “So you know, I don’t know what the hell’s going on here. I just had one little favor, you know, just that they play ‘On Eagle’s Wings’.”

Biden mentioned his interactions with Meir while discussing his recent meeting at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

“She kept pulling the maps down and showing me how many people have died and what happened,” said Biden, who took office as a senator in 1973 and met with Meir that year.

“She said, ‘We have no place else to go. We have no place else to go.’ Well, the truth of the matter is, that’s probably true, but it’s so sad. And we have to make — we have to continue to fight like hell to make sure there’s any place,” Biden said.

Disgraced Biden now likely to use proxies in his war against our guns

After his disastrous Afghanistan rout, Joe Biden has no credibility, especially when it comes to his lifelong efforts to strip Americans of our right to keep and bear arms.

Any president who gives a terrorist organization – 358,530 real assault rifles, 126,295 handguns, 64,363 machineguns, 109 helos, 22,174 Humvees, 65 fixed-wing aircraft, 176 artillery pieces, 162,043 radios, 16,035 state-of-the-art night vision goggles, tanks, armored vehicles and much more – has lost the moral authority to demand anything related to our guns, much less that we surrender our ARs or pistol braces or register them with the NFA.

In my humble opinion, there’s no way Biden can walk to a podium and complain about the potential danger posed by an AR in American hands, after his foolishness created the best equipped terrorist army in the world. The Taliban is now a mechanized force with artillery and air support, great comms, pallets of taxpayer dollars just waiting to be spent, and the ability to fight at night.

But the antigun forces don’t care about international events, and they certainly aren’t going to relent. They’re frustrated. They were pressuring Biden to act during the middle of the Afghan debacle. Last week, four antigun groups sent Biden a letter reminding him of his campaign promises and expressing their dissatisfaction with his results.

Just a few days before he got the gun-banners’ strongly worded letter, Biden used the state department as a proxy to ban the import of Russian ammunition, and now the director of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rochelle Walensky, is chomping at the bit. She wants to get her agency involved in the war against our guns, too, which she views as a “serious public health threat.”

This will become the new normal.

Barack Obama, Susan Rice and whoever else has been pulling Biden’s strings are not going to stop their antigun efforts just because their puppet president has become a laughingstock at home and on the world stage. They’ve always played the long game when it comes to stripping us of our gun rights. They’re going to get creative.

We will likely see more federal agencies join with the Biden-Harris administration, the CDC and the State Department in their war against American gun owners.

Stay vigilant, friends.
