#1 – Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: ‘Good Samaritan’ Who Saved Indiana Mallgoers Is Denounced as No Hero — by Alex Parker
So goes America’s divide over guns. For many advocates, if a firearm is used to do evil, it’s apparently the fault of the weapon. If a firearm is used to prevent the crime, however, this weapon does not get any points. It does not award points to the rightful owner.
…
Concerning the Good Samaritan issue, it was extolled for saving a life.
Is Elisjsha capable of doing the same thing many times? You be the judge:
- A Sig Sauer 400M 5.56 caliber rifle was used by the shooter.
- He had a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 5.56 on reserve in the restroom.
- He carried a Glock 33.357 pistol.
- The man was equipped with more than 100 rounds.
- He’d been frequently practicing at a range for the past two years.
- In May, he had quit his job as a warehouse worker.
- Police were told by family they believe he’d received a notice of eviction.
#2 – Former Trump COVID Honcho Birx Admits to Deceiving the White House and Just Making Stuff up to Push Her Personal Agenda — by Streiff
This could or might not be true. If you read Birx’s bio, it is obvious that she was Fauci’s creature. His star was her destination. He was her mentor. There are very slim chances that she will act on her own and Fauci will let power go to someone else. It would not be wise for the nation to absolve Fauci arbitrarily of any role in the COVID scandal before the jury returns a verdict.
Birx intentionally deceived Trump and his advisors by lying to them.
Shocking, right? This idea of a entitled, wealthy liberal suffering from a terminal case o god syndrome deceiving people in her favor to obtain her will be shocking.
#3 – Biden Gets Mocked as Saudis Sweep the Leg out From Under His Claims — by Nick Arama
“We had a good discussion on ensuring global energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth,” Biden said. “That will begin shortly. And…I’m doing all I can to increase the supply for the United States of America, which I expect to happen. The Saudis share that urgency and based on our discussions today, I expect we’ll see further steps in the coming weeks.”
Notice that doesn’t say much of anything — it doesn’t announce any deal for more oil. There was no concrete step made — or he would have announced it. All he ended up saying is he hoped there would be “further steps” — which isn’t anything.
But the Saudis even crushed that, sweeping the leg out from under Biden’s claim, making it clear that there were no concrete “further steps.”
#4 – Watch: The View’s Sunny Hostin Accidentally Tells on Gun Grabbers in ‘Good Guys With Guns’ Rant — by Sister Toldjah
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to comprehend that There should not be, and there shouldn’t be. “but” in these situations. If the good guy with a gun (civilian) hadn’t acted Sunday, more people would have died. Period. If a good guy (civilian) hadn’t acted in Missouri over this past weekend after a disturbed individual targeted stores for robbery, the perp would have hurt more people. If a good guy with a gun (in this particular case, police officers) hadn’t acted at an elementary school in Alabama in June when a deranged person repeatedly attempted to enter the school through locked doors and windows, students, teachers and administrative staff could have been hurt – or worse.
This is just further evidence that you can’t appease gun rights opponents (nor their allies in the MSM) no matter how hard you try. Even in a situation where lives are saved by a man who is lawfully carrying his weapon, there is a “but” there, because they simply can’t wrap their brains around the concept that American citizens have a right to use a gun to defend themselves and those around them.
#5 – Capitol Police Release Damning Facts, Slam DOJ Decision to Not Charge the ‘Colbert Nine’ — by Bonchie
It’s also untrue that they were invited into the building on June 16th, which is the primary excuse given by the DOJ for not pressing charges. They met on June 15. Further, they refused to obtain the credentials that were requested by the group the day before and decided to unlawfully enter the country. This was contrary to Colbert’s idea of the unwitting. Ironically, it was a Democrat staffer who called the police on Colbert’s team because he was terrified by all the screaming and yelling going on.
The idea that there wasn’t enough evidence for the DOJ to at least charge them with misdemeanors is farcical. If this were a group of Republicans illegally entering the Capitol Building multiple times to harass Democrat congressional members, they’d still be in solitary confinement right now. Because everyone is aware of it, our two-tiered justice system is an absurd joke. Washington DC’s left-leaning community is basically an invitation to get out of jail.
