Forget Me Not

 

  This morning, while practicing my roadside sobriety test exercises at home, I turned on the television to provide a bit of distraction.

On the TV was a reporter wearing a flak vest and helmet whilst holding a microphone amid an apparent bombing in a foreign land. Surrounded by rubble, smoke, dust, and blaring air raid sirens, this fellow breathlessly attempted to relay what he was seeing and feeling for the benefit of the viewing audience.

After a short while, it was disclosed he was standing in a place identified as ‘Israel,’ which is located in the Middle East. I was flabbergasted in as much as I was under the impression there were no conflicts in the Middle East following the peaceful Biden Administration years.

By way of history, not long after taking the reins as Commander-in-Chief, President Joseph Biden abruptly halted the twenty-year-war in Afghanistan, also located in the Middle East. It would appear Uncle Joe awoke from a nap to realize this war – which he voted “for” as Senator from Delaware – was still ongoing.

President Biden and Joe

Blaming his predecessor, Donald J. Trump for not stopping the war during his term, Uncle Joe was excited about making history in stopping this seemingly endless war. Did I mention it was 20-years old?

For the record, EVERY Senator voted “for” America’s presence in Afghanistan following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in America in 2001. For the record.

In putting the brakes on this debacle, Biden ordered his Military Brass to pull out post haste. No delay, no discussion. NOW!

Being good soldiers, they did. In the process, they left a cache of “American-made small arms such as M4 and M16 assault rifles, armored tactical vehicles like Humvees and Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, as well as several UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters,” per www.armyrecognition.com.

Wide estimates of value run as high as $85,000,000,000, not an insignificant amount of cash – except in guvment circles. Not figured therein are the priceless American soldier lives lost during a terrorist suicide bombing; thirteen service personnel died during the exit as the price of this totally stupid apparent political maneuver.

Still, we Americans, were summarily divorced from this Afghanistan toilet. Now the finger pointing was beginning in attempt to mimic an Ol’ Soviet-style of disinformation campaign. Of course, this goat rodeo was somehow the fault of former President Trump. Just ask any Leftist and legacy media news manufacturer.

Poo-pooing Conservatives’ attempts to deflect any and all blame, Democrats had the cards stacked in their favor. It didn’t take long for the dust to settle due to lack of interest while minimizing affects other than President Biden’s brilliant military tactical skills. On to his next Pyrrhic victory.

Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded a neighboring country, Ukraine. Once a member of the former Soviet Socialist Republic, Putin wanted Ukraine to return to the old USSR fold. Unfortunately, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was having none of it.

Contacting U.S. President Biden quickly dragged the United States into yet another proxy war – this time with Russia. Supplying arms, uniforms, ammunition, tanks, jets, bandages, besides lots and lots and lots of money, guaranteed our nation was dragging itself into another endless war.

While lies promising our involvement was negligible, Americans – most of whom couldn’t find Ukraine on a map – began wearing Ukraine flag pins on their lapels, while flying Ukraine flags in solidarity. How wonderful. This effort toward world-wide peace seemed quite misnamed. Still, it was for peace.

This quagmire was initiated in early 2022 to nervous cheers from sane people fearing Vladimir Putin would cause this incursion to evoke action by our North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partners.

Four-years later they continue to fight without an end in sight. And still, very few in America are concerned. Thank goodness the suspected money siphoning and diversions continue.

Following a contentious 2024 election cycle, a triumphant Donald Trump won a second term as President, hoping to set America back on-track to a cohesive, sane, most importantly - safe nation in which all citizens could survive and thrive in peace.

Beginning his new term akin to being shot out of a cannon, President Trump’s involvement nearly immediately sought to bring peace throughout the world. It seems as though President Trump has caused cease-fires in six conflicts. They include: Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, India and Pakistan, Cambodia and Thailand, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia. Not too shabby.

Continuing his effort to keep America safe, he once again directed his focus toward a 47-year conflict with the biggest, most dangerous, terror-sponsored nation in the world: Iran. Supplying arms, training, homemade bombs/IEDs, anti-Western ideology, on top of proven terroristic tactics, Iran was found to be on the cusp of finishing building up to eleven-nuclear weapons.

With the financial help of President Barack Hussein Obama, Iran used the pallets-full of cash – in the amount of $146,000,000,000 – to buy centrifuges, as well as other equipment, needed to separate uranium-235 from uranium-238. Once enriched, the uranium-235 can be used for making nuclear bombs.

Attached to foreign-supplied long-range ballistic missiles, these weapons of mass destruction suddenly become threats to anyone and everyone. Working hand-in-glove with Israel, the United States, led by President Trump in his second term, attempted negotiations to divert this nightmarish situation which was guaranteed to place every world nation within 4,000 miles in peril of total oblivion.

Likely under the guise of a possible world-wide religious war, such a threat is easily viewed as unacceptable.

Herein lies the rub. With European nations – in addition to the United States – are well within range of those nuclear bombs and delivery devices, to include our aforementioned NATO allies. But because of decades of appeasement via immigration, Muslim Iranians have made much of the NATO countries their homes, not unlike the United States of America.

Now in positions of authority, augmented by unified voting blocs, radical transplants have been creating laws and providing regular propaganda to their neighbors in order to achieve their goal to eradicate all non-Muslims. In other words, kill the infidels.

Recognizing an imminent threat from Iran, President Trump thought it prudent to negotiate a deescalation of the manufacture and possession of Iran’s ability to imperil the world with terroristic implications.

Calling America the “Great Satan,” and Israel “Little Satan,” as well offering vocal declaration of “Death to America,” it seemed as though nipping this disaster-waiting-to-happen in the bud was a timely, prudent move.

United States military ships, planes, and other armaments were summarily moved into place in and around the Persian Gulf during negotiations. Following generous offers of giving perpetual nuclear power generating means to Iran, they collapsed due to lies and stalling tactics used by Iran.

With deadlines passed, the United States in concert with Israel began the effort to prevent a global catastrophe of a magnitude never before seen. Expectation of an abbreviated incursion began to lengthen to be quickly questioned and attacked by the Leftist miscreants, Democratic politicians, augmented by a compliant media as another endless war.

Here’s where a memory better than that of a gnat is of great advantage. It seems as though the weak-minded whiners complaining about President Trump’s extended attempt to rid the world of a nuclear threat from known terrorists are the same ones ignoring a years-long protracted battle in Ukraine.

Doing nothing is far more dangerous than briefly suffering with inflated fuel prices, the result of cutting off Iran’s oil supply. Selfish critics, along with professional malcontents, are making this relatively minor inconvenience the basis of allowing Iran’s terroristic ways to continue, unfettered.

Either the anti-Americans are too ignorant to realize the peril posed by Iran, or they are too deep into their mental affliction of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

In any case, how soon we forget.

Papers, Please

 

 
A recent surgery led me to a trip to one of my favorite places to visit: the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This visit generated angst because I only needed to get a new driver’s license.

For the record, I’ve had a driver’s license since my teenage time keeping it updated after all these years. A quick jaunt down memory lane to give you an idea as to my age, the Dead Sea was merely sick at that period.

Entering the DMV facility, I was met by an angry young man at a desk who was attempting to direct me to the appropriate line, but he first needed to know my business. I told him I needed a new driver’s license, at which time the barrage of difficult yes-no questions were fired at me.

Was this my first license? Why did I need a new one? Was the old one expired? Was the old one from out-of-state? Have I had any tickets? Have I ever lost my license? Then Mr. Personality finally without looking up, handed me a slip of paper with a number thereon indicating my personal number.

This number would then be called by the DMV specialist who would keep me legal on the roads.

My sainted wife was with me to enjoy this adventure. From here until my number was called by the specialist, we commented – and wagered – on the appearance of patrons, all the while guessing their native lands and languages.

A reasonable eight minute wait quickly passed and I was soon on my way to acquiring a new license with a new photo to impress any and all for the next five-years.

After showing me a photo of Tom Selleck, I eagerly nodded that it would do, the DMV specialist smiled with a nod and wink. It didn’t take long before my sainted wife and I were on our way again.

This leg of our journey took us to a big box hardware store – whose name shall remain protected – with hapless employees avoiding contact, for a can of spray paint.

Amid the checkout process, I was promptly asked for ID. Evidently, being carded is not only an exercise reserved for buying alcohol and tobacco. It seems as though the powers-that-be have been very, very busy with annoying legislation to make peoples’ lives more cumbersome. Congratulations!

The orange aproned checkout clerk glanced at my license, only to grab for it again to take a second glance at my face, handing back with a nod and wink. Because I needed to know, I asked the reason for this extra step. She explained lots of people, especially kids, purchase spray paint and glues to get high.

She added another nod and wink, plus a comely smile to bid us goodbye.

It was when we returned home, where I switched on the TV, that a news story caught my attention like a bucket of ice water to the face. It featured a lizard-like creature known as Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) carping about the absolutely horrific process of citizens acquiring identifications. Huh?

This Senatorial reptile pontificated like a true professional fabricator for several mind-numbing minutes that our current Chief Executive, President Donald J. Trump, was fighting tooth and nail to keep black people and illegal aliens from getting IDs. Of course, nothing of the sort was true.

It seems as though sizable voter fraud schemes were employed by Democrats to questionably capture the highest office by Joseph “Plugs” Biden, over then-candidate President Trump. Thousands of unverified voters in several jurisdictions fudged figures enough to hand the presidency to Plugs, thus beginning a rapid slide toward total destruction of the United States of America.

With Democrats along with complicit legacy media-types abetting this nation-wide scam, the fix was in. High-fives, toothy grins, and back slapping galore nearly sent the defrauders to the emergency room with spinal problems, while hapless Republicans looked bewildered for the next four years.

Of course, denials were easy to find not only among the Democratic Party, but among the Republican ranks with weak-minded RINOs piously reaching across the aisle for unity and peace. The only missing components were truth and honesty. But, what the heck.

It seems that the Democrats handily grabbed the reigns of guvment to steer the wagon of bureaucracy toward a place unseen in 240-years: bankruptcy fed by corruption.

Allowing an estimated 12 to 15-million unvetted immigrants into the U.S. under the Biden regime, this throng of non-compliant, anti-assimilation migrants continue to reap the harvest, without any work, in the proverbial land of milk and honey: America.

With national elections quickly approaching in November 2026, this mass of illegal immigrants are expected to be beholding to the Democratic Party for opening the floodgates allowing them into our once-sovereign nation, while readying them to vote for their new Democratic politician slave masters.

The reptilian Schumer continues, along with his other guvment representative buddies, to insist black people cannot get identification. Included in that blanket lie are the brown people, women, foreigners, as well as law breakers, all of whom are being portrayed by The Left as ‘too stupid to get IDs.’

Yet another dangerous 
requiring ID

Someone with half-a-brain could figure out that driving a car, purchasing alcohol, conducting bank transactions, boarding an airplane, renting an automobile, acquiring a SNAP card, finding Section 8 housing, even visiting some medical facilities, even buying spray paints and glues, require an ID.

I personally know a number of people who engage in many of the aforementioned activities, all of whom have varying forms of official guvment identification – some of which are issued free-of-charge.

So, to have an anti-American Senator, plus his disingenuous political gasbag cohorts, abetted by the legacy media, openly claim voters should not be required to provide identification when casting ballots, need to be summarily challenged and legally punished for derailing the ambrosial efforts employed by President Donald Trump.

And yet they continue to lie.

The Carrot and Stick

 

  While not being a keeper of farm animals, I am familiar with an idiom about a carrot and stick. It alludes to enticing a stubborn mule to move while dangling a carrot on a string attached to a stick. This arrangement is said to have worked because of reward and punishment used as persuasive measures.

In the early 1960’s, someone with an idea to save lives captured the imagination of the federal guvment politicians with an invention termed “seat belts.” These straps with a buckle were “sold” as a safety standard to save lives in automobile crashes. They were going to protect travelers from flying out of vehicles keeping passengers alive in the event of a wreck.

Mandated to be installed in all new vehicles henceforth, seat belts were greeted with mixed results. They were seen as overstepping by the federal guvment to summarily control peoples’ lives, at which time we were assured they were there if you voluntarily wanted to use them. Amen.

After a few years, statistics showed seat belts were not the magic bullet for which the authorities has hoped. Finding that although they worked at restraining vehicle riders, survivors often wound up with severe spinal injuries resulting in lifetimes confined to beds or wheelchairs. Improvement was needed.

The addition of a shoulder/chest-crossing strap was deemed the perfect solution to solve any and all unforeseen problems seat belts brought to the party. Another mandate was issued to auto manufacturers as means to guaranteed safety.

Unfortunately, there was still room for improvement as although passenger restraints in a spider-like web of harnesses appeared to secure people inside cars and trucks, more and more survivors had now realized neck injuries with which to suffer – often in perpetuity.

Enter: the air bag. Introduced as a sure-fire way to prevent neck injuries in head-on collisions, air bags were just what the doctor ordered. But here’s the rub: people needed to wear and use all – ALL – the safety restraints in order for them to work and work properly. How could the guvment assure everyone would use these safety measures?

Glad you asked.

You see, after seat belts were made mandatory accessories in cars, purchasers paid extra for the benefit of having them even though they might never use them. Think: cigarette lighters and ashtrays which were standard equipment in all automobiles until just a few years ago when the overreaching guvment outlawed smoking in cars due to possible damage to small child passengers.

But somewhere along the way, a federal guvment official thought it would be prudent to reach back into the Federal Department of Idioms and resuscitate the time-proven Carrot and Stick swindle.

Remember when I mentioned how the newly introduced seat belts would never be mandatory? They lied. Yep. The federal guvment lied to Americans because, under penalty of law, passengers on America’s roads were now supposed to use all restraints in order to avoid financial punishment.

In any case, America being America found that more rural states – along with counties therein rebelling against any restriction of “freedom” fought back to declare they would not, NOT, obey draconian rules about protecting people who didn’t want to be protected. Period. Double period.

This is where politicians excel: extorting money from loyal American taxpayers. Although normally dimwitted, taxpayers don’t usually see the harm in compliance with laws and regulations that are offered as beneficial to everyone, as long as everyone is subject to the regulations, evenly.

Those individual rebellious states who refused to participate in this seemingly illegal grift of extracting hard-earned cash from working-class wallets suddenly found themselves at a crossroads. They could comply and all would end well, or they could snub their noses at Uncle Sam and have precious federal highway funding severed – guillotine-like – as punishment for not playing well with others.

Of course, the ultimate solution was to swallow their pride and accept the carrot rather than the business end of the stick.

It didn’t take long to realize that although the medicine was bitter, it was better than financial suicide. And all fifty-states decided to participate with a smile.

Which leads us to the several year-old elephant in the room: illegal immigration.

Realizing from whence manna comes, state politicians, including gubenors, felt it prudent to offer open doors to any and all refugees in the form of new voters as well as new federal funding to pay for all the carrot and stick goodies offered to the “newcomers.”

Declaring themselves “Sanctuary States” as fast as greased lightning, these non-conformist rebellious states created Depression Era-like bread lines with extended hands at the steps of Congress. But it took five-years to arrive at our current juncture where money is the driving force of most legislation and statutes.

Amidst a severe drought in federal funding, while facing the threat of terroristic-leaning, anti-American activities, all the while funding the absolute mayhem former President “Plugs” Biden let into or country, the obvious choice from where the states could get mo’ money was the federal guvment.

This is where, as a MAGA voter, and Trump loyalist, I part ways with “The Donald” on the way he is handling the invasion of our once sovereign nation by unvetted, nonconformist foreigners, many of whom have no intention of assimilating into our society.

With President Trump sending guvment entities in the form of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plus U.S. Marshals into varying cities to round up the most dangerous of those criminal trespassers for deportation, it was quickly learned the Democratic guvment types and their staunch voters refused to comply with applying the infamous “Rule of Law.”

Gubenors, egotistical mayors, Congressclowns, arrogant Senators, judges at all levels, along with local counsels all gave President Trump the proverbial big middle finger when he asked for cooperation with steering America back on track to a safer, saner place for everyone to enjoy.

Of course, President Trump is much too busy to read this humble blog. But his staff may not be. In which case, please pass this thought on to El Jefé.

It might be time for resurrecting the ol’ carrot and stick trick and cut off all federal funding to any and all jurisdictions not complying with our federal law enforcement personnel in identifying and rounding up the lawbreakers in our midst.

The use of money as an incentive has usually worked and worked well. It is time to employ the same tactics used with safety devices in vehicles to correct the mayhem currently encouraged in our nation today.

And finally, please pass my regards on to President Trump. Thanks!

Seven Facts

 

  There used to be a saying popular in political circles: “If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS.”

Those words were regularly used behind closed doors by politicians and managers alike. Broken down for the naïve in our audience, they mean you don’t really need to say anything substantive; you just need to make it mind-boggling enough to confuse the masses.

Here are some facts. Not just any facts, but really good facts you might want to learn and store for future use.

Fact one: "Members of the United States Congress can lie during debate without penalty."  Yes, you read that correctly. “The Speech or Debate Claus of the U.S. Constitution states that “[F}or any Speech or Debate in either House,” Members of Congress “shall not be questioned in any other Place.” The clause serves various purpose: principally to protect the independence and integrity of the legislative branch by protecting against executive or judicial intrusions into the protected legislative sphere, but also to bar judicial or executive processes that may constitute a “distraction” or “disruption” to a Member’s representative or legislative role. This nauseating, abbreviated blurb can be found, at length, at congress.gov, as it is an official document issued by Congress itself.

Not in reptilian lawyer words, this painful official document covers the butts of both House and Senate members who have trouble with the truth.

Here’s a terrific time for you to consider for yourself, “Why would politicians want to lie, and why would they need protection therefrom?”

Answer: Because there’s money, power, and integrity involved.

Let’s take a stroll down the road to some of the money, power, and integrity that needs to be so dearly protected.

A fellow named Barack Hussein Obama served as president for two terms. During those terms, he rabidly pushed for ‘medical insurance’ for all, which led voters to believe it was ‘medical care’ for all. You can clearly see the difference with a distinction. And 16-years later, those lies promoted by Democratic Congressfolk, are coming due in the form of astronomical premium increases.

There were also “shovel-ready” jobs awaiting the unemployed. Unfortunately, the con was evident when Obama openly chuckled that those ‘jobs weren’t as shovel-ready as he thought.’ Ha, ha. That was over a trillion dollars in higher taxes ago.

Of course, Obama was unable to earmark or write checks for anything inasmuch as Congress controls the money. Good thing they were willing to appease Speaker Nancy Pelosi in helping drive our economy into unimaginable debt that will haunt America’s youngest residents for generations.

Fact two: Donald Trump, our 45^th President, was slandered by politicians, as well as the legacy media, throughout his 2016 campaign for the Presidency.

Slurs over blatant falsehoods about everything from his alleged association with hookers, foreign leaders, sexual assaults, plus child sex rings were spewed non-stop. There were no consequences to these and other accusations; still, they continue to haunt his every move – being used as a giant distraction to getting our nation back on track.

Fact three: President Joseph Robinette “Plugs” Biden was handily elected to serve as our 46^th President, at which time his hare-brained ideas drove our national debt to nose-bleed levels...$34 trillion! The interest alone amounted to a whopping $970,000,000 per year. But who really cares?

In a clear effort to make himself sound and appear smarter than he actually was, pundits from The Left, mainstream media, Democratic politicians, endless internet influencers, plus a compendium of simple-minded actors, actresses, and minstrel-type musical entertainers found themselves mired with self-relevancy regarding their personal positions on Donald Trump.

Quickly taking positions resembling a rugby scrum, people from both sides of the aisle took to publicly criticizing any and everything related to Donald Trump as well as his wildly popular Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. The delineation was crystal clear.

Regaling crowds of fawning reporters and admiring snookered voters, Plugs Biden gleefully spewed one lie after another about his career as a semi-truck driver, young street thug, train engineer, college scholar, plus his arrest in South Africa alongside Nelson Mandela, providing Americans with 500,000 EV charging stations, besides claiming illegal immigrant children detained at the Southern Border were housed in cages built by President Trump, all of which were outlandish fabrications accepted as truth by the media. More BS.

Fact four: Referring back to fact one, it was quickly obvious that through public arrests, riots, disclosures of lack of candor, litigations, and whistle blowers, smarmy politicians disguised as caring, thoughtful legislators eagerly discovered their thespian genes attempting to rid America of a man – Donald Trump – they openly called “Hitler” and “Nazi.”

With now-regular press conferences, constant displays of hate and vitriol have been used to drive wedges among the masses. Undeterred, Trump and his MAGA crusaders continued their quest to retake America from the insane running our once sovereign nation aground. It was now or never.

But it was going to prove difficult to convince the average voter that they were summarily lied to by people they had trusted, many venerated, some for decades.

However, the fix was in. The average person was unable to differentiate between a lie and the truth due to the razzle dazzle performed by esteemed politicians, familiar news readers, co-workers, neighbors, clergy, even family members.

Fact five: Just below the surface of society’s waters lurked a seemingly out-of-control invasion of America by misfits, criminals, and non-conformists: illegal aliens. These new residents – I refuse to call them citizens due to their disdain for our rule of law – took to receiving free goodies offered them by Democrats as if they were distributing Halloween candy. But it was all planned.

With no apparent need or want to assimilate into our society, many of these latecomers seemed to enjoy drinking mead without exchanging any effort to positively contribute to the involved work. It was a win-win situation for everyone except the compliant taxpayers. What could possibly go wrong?

A dangerous wedge was driven between citizens and ‘new residents,’ dragging bleeding heart liberals to the side of the perpetual ‘gimme gimmes.’ Led by activists, the disaffected, and malcontents, these social warriors are desperately pushing our society toward the brink of societal collapse.

On the other side were sane individuals who were well on their way to reconstituting the United States back to a place where individuals worked as one toward a unified goal that would be beneficial to everyone.

Asking the illegal entrants – the alien invaders who produced no identification on medical paperwork upon entry, besides little in the way of assets – were suddenly found to be protected by Democrats who felt this cause was one worth destroying America over.

Riots ensued when prior criminal lawbreakers were attempted to be rounded up for processing and possible deportation. With politicians and the weak minded among us literally fighting federal, and often local police, simple apprehensions turned violent; some resulted in deaths of feral-like protesters.

Splashed across television and internet devices, uninformed people with only a modicum of information turned local jurisdictions into flaming heaps of anger and division with President Trump 47, as well as MAGA voters, the definitive targets of this blind rage.

Midterm elections, in November 2025, resulted in a number of new team of politicians entering the fray. New Jersey, Virginia, New York City, are just three of the jurisdictions welcoming fresh blood ready to lead. But lead where should have been the question before any ballots were cast.

Instituting seemingly countless intrusive new legislation designed to restrict people’s rights guaranteed under God, clearly spelled out in The Constitution, we, the people, found ourselves facing yet another round of mayhem on the horizon.

Virginia’s freshly minted gubenor, Abigail Spanberger, has been afflicted with writer’s cramp signing one restrictive anti-gun law after another, all in the name of “safety.” This Old Dominion version of

‘If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS,’ idiom has pushed Ol’ Virginny to the brink of civility.

Spanberger’s deceit during her campaign would put any seasoned grifting politician to shame – making Plugs Biden look like a rank amateur.

With anti-gun politicians enjoying what they are witnessing in Spanberger’s opening chapter of her version of the Gates of Hell, our formulation has taken on a new life. Nescient pols have been clamoring for attention hoping to be the one who finally rid America of those dangerous, evil, dirty guns.

But how did this Red State arrive at its Purple junction? Once again, the media, ignorant Democratic politicians, with the assistance of Hollywood.

Fact six: Implanting misquotes, vacuous ‘solutions,’ blanket fabrications, along with misplaced fear, the aforementioned non-expert gun experts have been using any and all means necessary to slant every conversation about firearms towards oblivion. (Read: Abolition of the Second Amendment.)

With anointed political media whores popping up like turds in a punch bowl, video and audio clips espousing outlawing guns have been nearly impossible to miss. To even a Neo-gun owner, these rants offer more in the way of misinformation and imbecility than cold and hard facts.

Take, for instance, Representatives – who, incidentally, are supposed to represent – as well as newsreaders actually posing as intelligent journalists, regularly offer inane thoughts on guns, as facts.

Describing a “double barreled magazine with an extended clip,” was what a newsreader stoically offered her audience as solid evidence for gun control, on-camera, in the aftermath of a shooting.

Not to be outdone, a Congressional Representative, holding a modern sporting rifle, uttered the words, “This, right here, has the ability with a thirty caliber clip to disperse 30 bullets within a half a second.”

A different gun “authority” – believed to be a state representative – pointed to a rifle stock designed for handicapped gun enthusiasts, as he asserted it converted the target rifle he was holding into a fully-automatic machinegun.

And yet another showed pictures of rifle cartridges while falsely explaining the largest one was “heat-seeking,” designed to chase its target.

The list of similar videos is seemingly endless with people fancying themselves as “experts” without a single one evident. Rather than proving any points they were attempting to make, they only proved they were not very bright or even capable of formulating cogent thoughts.

Fact seven: These evidenced nitwits would do well to stop feigning knowledge for half-baked, cherry-picked statements. But if you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS.
