Mark Cuban Solves 2nd Amendment Debate: Keep Your Guns, States Regulate
The 2nd amendment is not about hunting or self defense or sport(although those are side benefits). It is meant to ensure that the people have not only the authority but the firepower to 'alter or abolish' any government which has decided to destroy rather than to secure our self-evident and unalienable rights - as per the Declaration of Independence.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Of War And Remembrance ... Thoughts On Memorial Day 2019
What would a civil war look like?
What is has looked like for the last several decades is the left taking over our schools and brainwashing our children. That is why we have come to this point.
What would it look like now - with a lot of young people, convinced of their righteousness and the "by any means necessary" mantra being put out by their ideological guides - it would look like the violent behaviors demonstrated by the followers of movements like BLM and Antifa.
Where do we go from here?
BLM and Antifa being opposed with the same violence in which they engage. For now, they have been met mainly by the turning of the other cheek, but when it becomes obvious that such attacks will occur, it is only common sense for those attending such events to be prepared to defend themselves. I am hoping that it will take only a few demonstrations in which such preparation is successful for common sense to prevail, but I fear it will not. It would be best, in my opinion, if those defending themselves were able to detain(as peacefully as possible) the perpetrators of the violence and for those perpetrators to have the proverbial book thrown at them, as publicly as possible. Perhaps that would make others think twice before engaging in violence.
I applaud the resolution but common sense says that one only has the choice to refuse to engage in war, not to keep others from declaring it against you.

Urgent: California Just Stripped Parents Ability to Protect Their Children
ALL medicines have side effects and with vaccines a small number of people will die from it.
The choice to vaccinate needs to remain in the hands of the parents. Anything else is a threat to the future of the nation. If the government may force you to vaccinate your child, what may they not force you to do?

What Happened to CreepingSharia.com?
If you are someone who is aware of the encroaching threat of islam, you are probably familiar with the site creepingsharia.wordpress.com.
Global Patriot Radio's Vito Espisito brought it to the attention of this author that the site is no longer up.
Global Patriot Radio's Vito Espisito brought it to the attention of this author that the site is no longer up.
What was the violation? Was there an actual violation or is this another political deplatforming? Or is criticizing islam now a violation of their term of service?
When checking to see if creepingsharia.com (leaving out the word "wordpress") was tried this is the page that came up:
When the advanced tab is clicked, the page adds this:
Continue from there and it goes to a blank page.
Just received an email from Peter Townsend saying:
"Where have you been? Fair question. Part of the answer is that I have been working on finishing my latest book.
I’ve also been caught up in the ‘Great Social Media Purge of May 2019’. On a single day both Facebook and Twitter deleted my accounts with no warning and no right of appeal. In the process I lost more than 100,000 Twitter followers and both my personal and ‘Questioning Islam’ Facebook pages.
I have never even had a temporary ban on either network.I have not once called for violence against anyone and have never targeted any individual with ‘hatred’, invective or whatever else I’ve been accused of. Whatever that may be? Both platforms declined to give specific reasons. They are able to act as judge, jury and executioner all rolled into one it seems.
I suspect, although I obviously can’t prove it of course, that the ‘Purge’ was in preparation of the ‘Social Media Summit’ to battle online extremism (chaired by Jacinta Adern and Emmanuel Macron in Paris this week). This way the ‘giants’ could show that they are doing something. Even if that ‘something’ amounts to banning content that did not even come remotely close to advocating violence and was actually aimed at combatting extremism (of the kind they prefer to ignore).
I’ve thought long and hard about how to respond to this. One response would, of course, be to leave these platforms altogether. Which I guess is what they want. The creation of ‘Safe Spaces’ into which no politically incorrect idea is ever allowed to intrude. I realise that there are alternative networks (and will pitch my tent there as well) but the sad and brutal reality is that the ‘masses’ that we need to reach are on Facebook and Twitter. So I’ve taken the hard decision to start the long slog of rebuilding my presence. I’ve also opened a MeWe (a free-speech friendly social media network) account and will start to regularly post there.
Can I please ask you to help me recover my voice? Here’s how you can help:
1) Twitter – My new profile can be found here. Please follow me there and share my posts when they come up.
2) Facebook – My new Facebook profile can be found here. Please send me a friend request and share my posts whenever you can.
3) MeWe – My brand new MeWe account is here. Please send me a friend request over there as well if you are a member.
4) Email – Please stay on this list and forward my emails (especially this one!) to some of your contacts who may benefit from my work.
Thanks so much for reading and for giving a friend a hand!
Kind regards,
Peter"
"20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel." ~ Is 5:20-25

When an agency that has been given a grant of trust to lie to a nation whose citizens have a duty to be informed abuses that trust, that agency must be abolished. It has made itself suspect and the grant of trust must be rescinded.

"Democracy Dollars" to Make Everyone a Campaign Donor, Cut Power of Wealthy
Why wouldn't those who wish to influence the election simply purchase the donations of others? After all, legally it wouldn't be the same as paying someone for their vote - right?
And isn't this the equivalent of the government acknowledging that elected positions are for sale?

What Does This Mean?
By now, the changing of the language has been a topic for countless pundits, political or otherwise. But what does it really mean, this penchant for removing the solid foundations of the way we communicate with one another? It means the death of our society.
Just as an earlier post on this blog recognized that the SCOTUS had destroyed the rule of law (and with it, in the philosophical realm, the nation), the destruction of the language is the destruction of the civilized society that remains.
We need a consistent understanding of language to communicate. Without communication, we cannot build nor maintain a society. The Bible makes this quite clear in the account of the tower of Babel.
"1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."~ Gen 11:1-9
This twisting of the language means that justice is unobtainable - both because the law is become as malleable as the language and because the people are become unable to communicate. If one believes strongly that justice will consist of one thing, but society has decided that justice is whatever the individual with the most powerful voice declares it to be, then where is true justice to be found?
If a government cannot provide that most basic function of government - consistent legal standards through which judgement and justice may be obtained by the population, then such a government forces the people to take justice into their own hands. And, when enough people decide to do so, there will be violence because there is no other recourse.
The government of the USA was set up to leave the authority of the government in the hands of the people. However, such a safeguard REQUIRES a shared set of ethics, morals and values among the people. And a shared set of morals, values and ethics requires a shared language.
Islam demonstrates the insidious power of language as a weapon very well. A muslim will say "Islam means peace"and be quite truthful about it. A non muslim will hear that as; "islam means non-aggression/absence of conflict". A scholar of islam will recognize that, when spoken by a muslim "peace" means "submission to islam, which is a very different thing.
How does a society reclaim it's language in such times as these? When we have come so far down the road towards destruction that one cannot be sure what is meant by such basic words as "man" or "woman" unless one knows the political views of the speaker and possibly not even then? How may we fight when we have no words that may be relied upon to define the enemy?
