[Looks like President Trump nailed it in Europe when he took fellow NATO members to task about their defense spending. Besides Merkel’s epiphany, other countries are starting to realize that they’re pretty much incapable of doing sh!t when comes to defending themselves. Now that's presidential leadership.

from Paul – “The problem is Americans really don’t give a shit about it.”
Well no, Paul – Americans do care about gun violence. But after years of trying to implement solutions that we know will drastically reduce gun violence and being slapped down by anti 2A types I think Americans have begun to weary of speaking out.
The hard left desperately wants to disarm Americans and they think a continual stream of gun violence is their best hope to achieve this goal.
Most of the softer left (and the ever present Middle-Of-The-Roaders) are just useful idiots who complete their circle of avoidance of personal responsibility by not owning a gun and wanting everyone else to do the same.
It’s the same as the Euros starting to accept life with constant terrorism. They realize their govts won’t do anything about it (in fact their govts are importing it) and the individual citizens can’t do very much, so they shrug and get on with life as best they can.

Crickets on the Fla Shooting? Yep. So far.
I have yet to read the story about a disgruntled person hunting down his fellow man in Fla. Florida? FLA makes the news a lot when it comes to crime and weirdos.
Why the crickets? Conditioned I guess. Stories like Casey Anothey, gang banging in the urban eyesores, punks doing drivebys at some girl’s Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party (luckily they can’t shoot straight much more often than not), mothers drowning their kids, the ex killing the mother while she is drowning the kids before killing himself, on and on it goes daily. Nowadays I don’t read 99% of the stories. Today, I saw the story of a neighbor running over and stopping a guy from killing his kid (non firearm incident apparently). No thanks, I will skip the article.
Conditioned. Like the time I saw Jaws in the movie house on a rainy night. When the movie ended (as did the rain) and the patrons exited, there was the sound of shrieks coming from the street. Seems people were so mind blown after Jaws and there was a big puddle out in front, the folks first reaction was fear and were hesitant to step over the puddle against the curb. “Shark!” Screams. Seems so lame now. Not even worth mentioning but the audience was not conditioned.
Another terrorist attack in Britain? I just glance at the headlines or open the link to see the pictures. Saw that somebody was yelling Allah Akbar in Toronto and maybe France. Not even opened the links. Small potatoes, happens all the time. Hmm. Toronto is getting closer, and it’s Allahu Akkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkbar, but I digress.
Casey Anathony stories happen now at least twice a week. Crickets. Yeah, is a bull pucky agrument to say 50,000 people die in traffic accidents and Punchy is worked up over 149 people who died in mass shooting by lone gunmen mostly. Apples and organges.
It lawlessness, pure and simple. Lawlessness, not guns. Like the citizens of Ancient Rome subjected to mobs of dagger wielding criminals run amok. Robbing, stealing, raping, vandalizing, bloodshed. Lawlessness.
That how I see things as they are, not how I wish things to be. A preacher would say “The times are evil” or “the times are growing more evil”, with the emphasis on more evil. Breakdown. What’s left to do besides declaring martial law?
More laws won’t change a thing. More candlelight vigils, more doing the sit-in thang on the House Floor, more lovingly placing a ‘Co-Exist’ bumper sticker on your cars…..that ain’t getting it done.
After Gabby got plugged in the melon in Arizona, the storyline was the rhetoric was the catalyst, the gun the tool. Ban both. Rhetoric has gotten worse. I was not offended at all by Katy Griffin did or whatever her name is. That’s what they do. That’s what I do. Conditioned to it I guess.
Look, if I use a gun or a club, it ain’t the weapon. It’s lawlessness, the disenigration of the value of life. Or, a a parsons might say “good will be called evil and evil with be called good.” Oh, yeah, Trump should have had a public statement about the disgruntled former employee in FLA. So far, his style had been to call the grieving families privately and even months of followup calls himself, with financial support to these strangers from his own back pocket. Trump could have said more ,no doubt. He did not. Happy now?
Why, why, why? The experts predicted that a Trump win would cause gun sales to decline (law and order man) and soar with a Hillary win (she coming to take away your guns). Gun sells are through the roof. Articles about it just yesterday. Why? Because people look out the window and see lawlessness. They turn to the TV and see the same thing. It’s how it is, not how we wish it to be. Time to be proactive, like clearing a defensive space around your home in case of wild fire. Arm up.

sessions next to exit?
White House press secretary Sean Spicer refused to answer a question on Tuesday about whether President Donald Trump still has confidence in Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“I don’t have a comment on that,” Spicer told reporters during his daily briefing, when asked to describe the president’s confidence in Sessions. Pressed further, Spicer said, “I have not had that discussion with [Trump], and if I haven’t had a discussion about a subject, I tend not to speak about it.”
Spicer’s non-answer follows a New York Times report on Monday that describes Trump’s growing frustration with his attorney general, whom the president reportedly blames for the escalation of an FBI probe into ties between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials.”

“The mayor of London has urged a zero tolerance attitude to hate crimes in the capital as he met genocide survivors.
Sadiq Khan said the city remained inclusive and global, following four antisemitic attacks over the weekend. He made the remarks as he met genocide survivors at City Hall at the first in a series of events in the lead-up to Holocaust Memorial Day on 27 January.
A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said on Sunday that officers were investigating four hate crime allegations aimed towards north London’s Jewish community.
Speaking after Monday’s event, Khan said: “I ask all Londoners to report any form of hate crime, no matter how trivial. A brick with a swastika on it thrown through a window of a Jewish home is not a trivial matter and needs to be addressed.”

That’s all small stuff compared with whats happening attorney General Sessions, who has offered to resign, combine that with The revelation that National Intelligence chief Dan Coats was asked by Trump to go easy on Flynn in the same way that he asked Jim Comey to do so and that NSA Director Mike Rogers is scheduled to testify tomorrow in open session This comes after word leaked to the media two weeks ago that Donald Trump had tried to convince Rogers to publicly push back against James Comey . Rogers refused, and the NSA chief documented the incident in a memo.
Combine that with Special Counsel Robert Mueller hiring big guns as investigators. Mueller’s biggest hire to date was Andrew] Weissmann, who is taking a leave from his current post leading the Justice Department’s criminal fraud section.
Also Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein will testify to the Senate tomorrow one day before James Comey and may recuse himself from further investigations in this matter leaving who knows in charge of the Justice Department in this matter.
That on top of the NSA having evidence that Russians military intelligence executed a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials just days before last November’s presidential election.
