Massachusetts Forgetting It’s History?

I wonder if these morans (and the AG of Mass) are ignorant of history or just evil.  I wonder how many people get the irony that this is occurring in the state with the cities of Lexington and Concord?

Nothing important happened in those cities, right?

The loophole in the Mass. assault weapons ban

assault ban

Dechia Gerald, wife of slain Baton Rouge police officer Matthew Gerald, cried while holding her children in Baton Rouge, La., on Monday.

By Maura Healey   JULY 20, 2016

ORLANDO. BATON ROUGE. Falcon Heights. Dallas. Baton Rouge again.

Five horrific headlines in five weeks. Each story unique in its circumstances, but bound by a common thread: human lives taken by a gun.

There are myriad issues underlying each of these tragedies: fear, racism, mistrust, hate. These are critical issues that we, as a country, have an obligation to honestly and forthrightly address. And they’re issues my office is working hard to tackle alongside our partners in the community, in law enforcement, and in government.

But there’s one issue that can be addressed right now — the proliferation of guns, particularly assault weapons.

Why The FBI Decision is “Good”

Like most people I was annoyed by Comey’s press conference yesterday at 11:00 AM.

But think about it from a different perspective; this is the government taking the kid-gloves off.  Their goal is to maintain their power and status so with this latest series of Clinton violations (Benghazi report, Bill & Lynch and FBI pass) they had to progress from largely covert to outright overt tyranny to achieve this end and keep the machine turning.

Think about what this government is actively doing:

  • Importation of violent 3rd worlders
  • Deportation of jobs via Free (sic) Trade Deals
  • Government destruction of 2nd Amendment
  • Encouragement of SJW’s and suppression of hate (free) speech
  • Destruction of Due Process
  • Regime change around the globe, endangering Americans here and abroad and then even leaving them twisting in the wind to die in Benghazi.
  • Intentionally putting firearms in the hands of cartels and terrorists

On This Day 100 Years Ago

On July 1st, 1916 one of the bloodiest and costliest battles in recorded history began when the British and French lead an offensive against the Germans along the River Somme in France.  It was the largest battle of WWI on the western front.  More than 1 million were killed or wounded.

When I was younger I wondered “How did humanity allow this type of conflict to occur and then perpetuate?” but now I ask, “How have we gone so long without repeating these horrors?”

Creampuffs

“If our country was invaded and our young men were a lot of creampuffs, probably cowards, through never having experienced hard work, athletic competition or a good punch in the nose we would lose to the invaders, lose our freedoms and things worth more than life itself.”

This is one of the latest clips from Jocko Podcast.  He reviews/discusses 2 books by Bob Hoffman who was WW1 soldier as well as a fitness entrepeneur who founded York Barbell.

The podcast is long but this clip will start about 80 mins in, only need to listen for a few mins to likely gain something.

“The road to despair and unhappiness is paved with good intentions lost along the way.”


The Man In The Cave

Maybe this mindset is too “extreme”, or maybe it’s exactly what is needed and currently lacking…

“I wake up early, I wake up at 0445….I like to have that psychological win over the enemy. And when I wake up in the morning, and I don’t know why, I’m thinking about the enemy and what they’re doing. There is a guy that’s in a cave somewhere, and he’s rocking back and forth, and he’s got a machine gun in one hand, and a grenade in the other hand. And he’s waiting for me, and we’re gonna meet. When I wake up in the morning, I’m thinking to myself, what can I do to be ready for that moment, which is coming” – Jocko Willink


What I learned from the Far East

I recently visited Eastern China and stayed for a week.  It was a work trip and there is a strong possibility I will be back for a longer stay in the future.  I wanted to share some my thoughts in a quasi-organized manner, I’m sure I will forget details and keep in mind my “evidence” is anecdotal from a very short stay, I may add further details at a later date if I remember them.  Much thanks to my hosts, they could not have been nicer.

My thoughts/observations:
