Gun Grabbing Groups Set Sights On Senate

And what happens if they manage to get these tame bills through and they do nothing?

Gun control groups focus all efforts on Senate

Gun control groups are now focusing all of their lobbying efforts on the Senate following House passage of two major bills last week that garnered some GOP support.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is promising quick action on the legislation — to strengthen background checks and to close the so-called Charleston loophole — but advocates face a familiar uphill battle in trying to win over enough Republicans.

Still, proponents are optimistic that a Democratic-led Senate, combined with an ally in the Oval Office and a weakened National Rifle Association (NRA), will help get gun control legislation passed for the first time in decades.

“We have a slim gun violence prevention majority, but we have the majority, which we know includes eight Republicans,” said Brian Lemek, executive director of Brady PAC.

Neither of the bills is really bad or intrusive. However, we all know they are just a start, that if you get these through, Dems will push more and more intrusive and gun grabbing bills, so, those supposed 8 Republicans had best think about their votes really hard. This is why we can’t get common sense – real world common sense, rather than the idiotic version Democrats push – reforms, ones that would make a difference: because Democrats always want more and more, because it’s always a step towards grabbing and banning.

Each bill would need 60 votes to make it through the Senate, meaning 10 Republicans would have to cross the aisle to overcome a legislative filibuster.

It won’t get there.

“I’m talking to senators across the aisle, but the real difference-makers in this debate are the survivors, students, and family members who have made this issue a movement,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told The Hill about his plan for getting Republican support.

What you aren’t hearing is how many were shot/killed with guns purchased with no background check (excepting the criminals who bought them from other criminals who stole the guns). How many? Any stats? Also, you aren’t hearing any legislation being offered that goes after actual criminals who use guns. This is almost all about the law abiding citizens.

A day earlier, Psaki said Biden is “personally committed” to addressing gun violence when asked about if he believes the Senate can pass the two bills.

“I expect he will look for opportunities to be engaged and advocate for why these are not political issues; these are commonsense efforts to keep our children safe, keep our country safe and, you know, ensure that we are, you know, reducing gun violence in the country,” she said.

Want to keep children safe? Crackdown on criminals.

39 shot, 4 fatally, in Chicago this weekend

That’s the norm in Democratic Party run Chicago. People don’t even bat an eye at this anymore.

The shooter at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., in 2015, a self-described white supremacist who killed nine Black parishioners, was able to purchase a firearm legally despite an arrest on his record, which did not show up in his background check during the three-day waiting period.

And wouldn’t have shown up in a 10 day waiting period, either

FBI had resources to halt Dylann Roof’s gun buy, but it didn’t use them — and still doesn’t

The FBI had the information needed to stop Dylann Roof from buying a gun and the time to find it before Roof fatally shot nine churchgoers in Charleston.

But the agency never searched its own cache of crime records before Roof’s attack at Emanuel AME Church and since then has not used the database to evaluate whether millions of other Americans trying to buy guns every year should be allowed to bear arms.

An internal audit and a lawsuit by Roof’s victims identified the resource, along with the rules that the FBI says prohibit use of the database for gun background checks. A newer and less widely known tool among the FBI’s information offerings, the National Data Exchange is accessible to tens of thousands of local police officers trying to solve crime but not to the federal unit trying to thwart it through the checks.

Huh. Back to original article

“Now the job is to bring this bill to the Senate and get it done. [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell [R-Ky.] would not bring any anti-gun legislation to the Senate over the past five years,” Murphy said.

It’s right there: “anti-gun legislation.” They want to deny law abiding citizens their 2nd Amendment Right. Schumer has said he’s going to bring it up Thursday.

Her Fault: Queen Pelosi Links Border Crisis To Climate Crisis (scam)

Perhaps Nancy should stop taking so many fossil fueled cross country trips on evil airplanes (video at the link)

Pelosi: Climate Change Causing ‘Humanitarian Challenge’ at the Border

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that climate change has contributed to the surge of migrant children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Pelosi said, “There are more children, about 600, 700 more children, unaccompanied children coming over the border. This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us. What the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border, and they are working to correct that in the children’s interest. I’m so pleased that the president, as a temporary measure, has sent FEMA to the border to help facilitate the children going from one 72-hour issue where they are cared for as they are transferred into family homes or homes that are safe for them to be. So this, again, is a transition for what was wrong before to what is right. Of course, we have to also look to Central America, Mexico, and the rest. The corruption, the violence, all of that.”

She added, “My most recent trip to the northern triangle, that would be Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador. You saw the impact of climate change. These people were leaving because of the drought. They couldn’t farm, and they were seeking other ways to survive. There are many reasons to go into this, but the fact we have to deal with it at the border, and some of the people coming there are seeking asylum. I always like to quote our friends in the Evangelical movement. At one of our hearings, we had before the majority of the representatives said to us. The United States refugee resettlement program is the crowned jewel of American humanitarianism. So we have certain responsibilities that we must honor. We have to have a system that accommodates that, and that is what the Biden administration is in the process of doing.”

By mentioning ‘climate change’, Pelosi sets the terms that we in the United States owe these people entrance into the nation, along with food, shelter, money, clothing, jobs, housing, medical care, money, education, citizenship for free, and money. This is much like the way aid for other nations is being deemed, that 1st World nations now owe it, so, it should come with zero strings attached. That owed nations shouldn’t have to repay it or give anything back.

If they can’t farm, why not go somewhere else? Why trek thousands of miles to the U.S.? Why not implement more modern farming techniques? Because blaming the climate crisis scam is easier to demand entrance to the U.S. The U.S. has no need to accommodate that. If necessary, we can help them out in their home countries.

Biden Admin Considering Updating Social Distancing Rule, World Wants Our Vaccines

Interestingly, this is the same rule that most of the rest of the world has been using for most of the pandemic, as it is the distance that the World Health Organization has been recommending, even though many studies show COVID from a cough can travel up to 20 feet

Fauci: US weighs 3-foot distancing rule, a major change

COVID dancing penguinsThe United States’ top pandemic advisor said Sunday that authorities were considering cutting social distancing rules to three feet (one meter), a move that would change a key tenet of the global fight against Covid-19.

Anthony Fauci, a world-respected figure during the coronavirus crisis, said experts at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were examining a Massachusetts study that found “no substantial difference” in Covid cases in schools observing six-foot and three-foot rules.

Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” show whether that meant that a three-foot separation was sufficient, Fauci replied, “It does, indeed.”

While cautioning that the CDC was still poring over the new data and conducting tests of its own, he said its findings would come “soon.”

The six-foot social distancing rule has been a widely-adopted global measure to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, along with mask-wearing and hand-washing.

First off, kids haven’t been the group that was really concerned with catching COVID. Second, here’s what WHO says

Maintain at least a 1-metre distance between yourself and others to reduce your risk of infection when they cough, sneeze or speak. Maintain an even greater distance between yourself and others when indoors. The further away, the better.

Sure, maintain an even greater distance inside, but, their basis is 3 feet (1 meter). And that’s the way it’s been since at least last May, when the CDC updated their guidance on masks, and I remember comparing the 2 political health departments.

School officials across the world are under enormous pressure to fully reopen as soon as safely possible, but many say the six-foot requirement makes it extremely difficult without adding portable classrooms or shortening the school day.

Many teachers unions have also insisted on six-foot distancing.

Ah. That’s why the CDC is considering changing this, so the damned schools can open in the face of teacher’s unions, despite the CDC having said time and again that it is safe to open the schools. How about if the teacher’s, being adults, at least by age if not mentality, stay 6 feet away, while kids are 3? Teacher’s unions just want more money, power, and to not have to actually go into work for as long as possible.

Meanwhile

US comes under pressure to share vaccines with rest of world

President Biden is under increasing pressure to share the U.S. vaccine stockpile with the rest of the world.

The federal government has been amassing doses, growing its supply into what will likely become a surplus, as the rest of the world struggles with shortages. The U.S. has purchased enough vaccines to immunize every adult in the country three times over.

Then why is it taking so long to get vaccines to some areas? My area is slammed with vaccines. Right now there is, at most, a few days waiting period. Others have weeks or more for waits.

The White House said the extra doses could be a backstop for possible manufacturing issues, help vaccinate children, or serve as booster doses if they become necessary to fight against variants of the virus.

That makes sense, making sure they are available if necessary. Biden’s advisors are playing it safe (Joe just sits around and plays Mario Kart, naps, and does what he’s told)

When asked at the White House event about the widening gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world, Biden acknowledged the global nature of the pandemic but said his goal is to bring COVID-19 under control in America first.

“This is not something that can be stopped by a fence, no matter how high you build a fence or a wall,” Biden said. “So we’re not going to be ultimately safe until the world is safe. We’re going to start off making sure Americans are taken care of first, but we’re then going to try to help the rest of the world.”

Wait, that sounds like an America First agenda. Isn’t that racist?

Yet administration officials reiterated that the United States will not donate any vaccines until the full American population is inoculated, and did not say what threshold the country would set before considering exporting vaccines.

Experts and global health advocates think the U.S. has the ability to donate vaccines to other countries without significantly impacting their availability to Americans, but has been unwilling to make such a plan.

These are the same types of people who always throw hate America’s way, until they want something from us. They can wait. Or pay. Let’s take care of America first.

The Climate (scam) Crisis Has Become A Mental Health Crisis (part lots)

Now that it’s starting to get warm again, the stories about the climate scam messing with people’s mental health start to become more prevalent. Is it real? In a way. The grand high poobahs of the Cult of Climastrology constantly trot out prognostications of utter doom. They teach the Coming Doom in schools. Warmists read about doom online. They buy into it, and start spreading fables of doom coming Soon. And there they have created artificial mental health problems

Between anger and sadness: How the climate crisis has become a mental health crisis

What Phoenix Heberling remembers most about the tornado is the screaming. She was 2, living in a trailer park in rural Indiana, and her father and some friends were having a party when he got a phone call.

Get out now, a tornado is headed straight for you.

In a frantic scramble, the adults ran outside. The world was eerily silent. Some of them scattered and the rest piled into a car, including Phoenix and her father. To this day, the adults’ faces stick with her. A woman clawed at her cheeks in terror, tears streaming down her face. Others screamed and cried frantically: I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die. (snip)

“You’re so young that you don’t have words to define what that feeling of ‘we’re about to die’ is,” Heberling said. “You only know if you felt it, that death looming over you. That pure terror. Knowing that whatever was happening, it was beyond anything I could define or ever know. It was just so powerful.” (snip)

At 27, the experience remains stamped in Heberling’s mind. In hindsight, she thinks it influenced her anxiety and depression in the face of the climate crisis, another force that to many feels profoundly intractable and terrifyingly destructive.

But this one is primarily human-caused.

Surveys have found that 47% of Americans aged 18 to 34 feel that stress related to climate change impacts their daily lives. That number is even higher for teens, at 57%. Climate anxiety is increasingly being seen as a public health issue, especially for young people and children.

So, wait, are they trying to say that experience with a tornado, something that has happened forever, is actually human caused climate crisis? Or not? It’s not particularly clear, which is exactly the point, because weak minded, indoctrinated climate cultists will immediately link the “climate crisis” with what happened to Heberling 25 years ago.

There’s good reason to be anxious, experts say. In 2018, scientists warned world leaders they needed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 to avoid the worst effects of climate change. The world is not on track to reach that goal.

As a result, scientists say extreme heat, wildfires and other disasters will likely become more frequent and destructive. Rising sea levels, civil unrest and food shortages could displace billions by 2050 if human-caused greenhouse gas emissions aren’t severely cut.

Is it any wonder these Warmists are having mental issues when all they hear about is doom?

“I think younger people are generally more affected because they know they’re going to see these changes actualized in their lifetime,” said Collin Hagood, a therapist in Flagstaff who has seen the issue come up with his clients.

“It’s an anticipatory grief,” Hagood said. “I think it’s really important that we all are part of this conversation, being open about it, being expressive about it, trying to connect with one another and most importantly connect to nature so we can recognize why this is such a big deal.”

Or, bear with me here, it could be because they’ve been indoctrinated into this, hence losing their minds.

Anyhow, the continuation of Doom continues on in this very long screed. Have at it for a laugh. And, yes, people giving themselves what they think are mental health issues over a completely fake issue is funny.

China Joe Admin Won’t Call What’s Going On At The Border A Crisis

Of course not, because they pretty much asked for this. Maybe they didn’t think it would be so bad, but, this is what they got. Of course, Dementia Joe probably has no idea what’s actually going on

The word the Biden administration won’t use when it comes to the border? ‘Crisis’

The Biden administration is facing what it admits is an “overwhelming” number of migrants at the southern border while scrambling to construct new facilities to hold child migrants — but it is doggedly refusing to describe the situation as a “crisis.”

Agents in the Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas are encountering 1,500 migrants a day, overwhelming the sector — and Fox News on Saturday obtained exclusive photographs of a temporary outdoor processing site there in Mission, Texas.

This site is near the point of contact after the migrants illegally cross the Rio Grande River. There, they sort them among family units, unaccompanied minors and single adults and bus them to the appropriate destinations.

“Bus them.” Why? Send them away. Don’t let them in. We have no compelling need to bring them in. What happens if you show up at the White House and demand to be let in through the fencing? How about the Congressional buildings (main one and offices) surrounded by lots of fencing? CIA building? FBI? Fort Knox? Military bases? Only if you are authorized, if you are meant to be there. Why are we simply letting in people who will disappear into the US interior?

But the administration isn’t calling the situation a crisis.

“It doesn’t matter what you call it. It is an enormous challenge,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Thursday, before saying: “We don’t feel the need to, you know, play games with what it’s called.”

While numbers have been increasing at the border for months, particularly of unaccompanied children (UACs) and family units, they have spiked since President Biden took office. The number of UACs in custody has tripled in recent weeks, while there were more than 100,000 migrant encounters in February.

The Biden administration has claimed it is moving to replace the “cruelty” of the prior administration with a more “humane” system and warned that will take time. But it has refused to acknowledge that there is in fact a “crisis” — preferring instead to describe it as a “challenge.”

It’s “cruelty” to not let people in who have no business here? Let’s see Democrats put them up at their own homes. You how not a crisis it is?

Mayorkas, who last week flat-out denied there was a crisis, this week emailed DHS staff urging them to volunteer to help CBP at the border amid what he described as “overwhelming” numbers.

“Today, I activated the Volunteer Force to support Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as they face a surge in migration along the Southwest Border,” Mayorkas said in an email to staff, seen by Fox News.

“You have likely seen the news about the overwhelming numbers of migrants seeking access to this country along the Southwest Border,” he said. “President Biden and I are committed to ensuring our Nation has a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system while continuing to balance all of the other critical DHS missions.”

So not a crisis that they activated the Volunteer Force. And we have a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system. People apply for work and other visas to come for a period of time. Others apply to become citizens, are accepted, and go through a long process. Rather than just bringing in people with limited skills, limited education, limited money, and often have lots of 3rd world diseases.

EDITORIAL: How the border crisis could define Biden’s presidency

Joe Biden has spent his first couple of months in office enjoying what his predecessor never had: a presidential honeymoon. Americans have rewarded Biden with early approval ratings of 60 percent or higher. He may be benefiting from the inevitable diminishing of the coronavirus as cases decline and more states reopen. Or the public may simply be relieved to have a president who isn’t perpetually in the spotlight, even if he doesn’t always seem aware of the fact he is president.

But no honeymoon can last too long, and Biden’s is coming to an end at America’s southern border, where a crisis is escalating. Eighty thousand people tried illegally to cross the border in January, double the figure of a year ago. In February, nearly 100,000 did the same. At current rates, the spring and summer may bring hundreds of thousands more. Caught off-guard, the Biden administration has scrambled to reopen ‘facilities for migrant children’. Just weeks earlier, Democrats had called such facilities American ‘concentration camps’.

America’s border has become the first serious failure of the Biden presidency. Texas congressman Vicente Gonzalez has warned that the rate new arrivals are being admitted at will invite thousands more to make the journey north, and will be ‘catastrophic’ for his district and the country. Gonzalez isn’t a white nationalist; he is a Hispanic Democrat.

In Tijuana, migrants have sported t-shirts and printed signs begging ‘Biden, Please Let Us In!’ And why shouldn’t they? It is exactly that kind of sentimentalism that will inevitably push Biden to do exactly that.We can all pretend to be merciful.

But the difficult truth is that no act of God created the disaster at the border. It is a wholly human mess, created by America’s leadership class. Migrants have discovered that if they arrive at the border and say the right words about violence in their perpetually violent home countries, they will be freely admitted without fear of deportation. Once inside the country, they can benefit from a glacial asylum-review process, and even if their petition is rejected, they had little to fear from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Read the rest.

Here’s What To Blame For ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

Interestingly, and, as usual, climate cultists never actually blame themselves. It’s always Big Things that they engage in but won’t themselves give up

5 causes of climate change: From fossil fuels to capitalism

In the midst of a global pandemic, some find it difficult to think about anything else. We’re already living a once-in-a-lifetime event, right, so why should any other issue take political precedence? Unfortunately, the problems that existed before coronavirus haven’t gone away. Climate change is one key example.

Before Donald Trump, the United States wasn’t exactly the pinnacle of environmentalism. But under the former president, the U.S. took major steps back. Notably, Trump did away with numerous environmental policies and withdrew from the Paris climate accords. So when President Biden took office in January 2021, he inherited not only the ongoing pandemic, but a worsening climate crisis, too.

#TrumpDerangementSyndrome

So, what can the government actually do? While taking individual action isn’t bad, focusing on that alone allows big players to shirk responsibility. They keep on with business as usual, while we’re all too busy policing each other for using disposable straws. Really, the responsibility for climate change extends far beyond you and me. Let’s break down some of the five major causes of climate change to see what I mean.

  1. Fossil fuel extraction (this is an obvious one, but, notice that most Warmists refuse to give up their own use of fossil fuels)
  2. The U.S. military (because, of course Warmists hate the U.S. military. They’re fine with China’s)
  3. Mass agriculture (you know, how all these Warmist urban dwellers are able to eat without doing anything but going to the store/restaurant)
  4. Deforestation (let’s tear down all the giant buildings in urban areas and replace them with trees (BTW, deforestation is actually an environmental issue, and I despise deforestation))
  5. Honestly, capitalism

Let’s see that last one, which is really the point

I’ve listed out some major players in climate change, but let’s be real. Capitalism is the driving force behind each and every thing that I mentioned.

Capitalism is the reason that countries prioritize big business over people’s lives. It’s the reason that countries in the global south, who are the least responsible for climate change, continue to bear the brunt of its effects while a select few in the global north profit. As science journalist Matt Simon wrote in Wired, “Capitalism has steamrolled this planet and its organisms, gouging out mountains, overexploiting fish stocks, and burning fossil fuels to power the maniacal pursuit of growth and enrich a fraction of humanity.”

Sure, we all have individual things we can do to lessen our carbon footprint. And certainly, we need to re-examine how we live our daily lives. We need to think about our relationship to the land, other people, and the non-human animal species who are also being devastated by this crisis. However, if we remain focused on individual actions, then we will be consumed by a monster much bigger than us.

See, it’s cool for people to engage in capitalism itself, it just needs to have the big companies (which is weird, since so many, especially the giants, are Democratic Party donors) cut down and controlled by government. And the true, ultimate point?

Instead, we must be a collective, big enough to take on anything, while understanding that confronting climate change means that the U.S. and other Western countries must reimagine their economic structures overall. To put it simply: Ending climate change necessitates an end of capitalism.

Surprise?
