America has a gun
With (very few) apologies to Brian Bilston
England is CCTV.
France, a cop with lock and key.
Greece, once free, now bends the knee.
But, America has a gun.
Sweden jails the ones who fight.
Germany fines bad words at night.
Spain forbids the wrong to write.
But, America has a gun.
Holland fines what words you say.
Canada takes your knives away.
Australia says, "you must Obey."
While America has a gun.
Japan will bow and not resist.
Scotland bans what they won’t miss.
Freedom bleeds, but still exists
Because America has a gun.
Better risk the fatal cost
Than find that liberty was lost.
The price is high,
The fight, embossed
Because America has a gun.

Everyone needs to hear this message! This powerful message is from a woman speaking about the revolution in Iran. This is what's happening now in the US and what will happen to the libs who are helping them.

This is crazy when you put this in simple terms.
I keep hearing people complain that gasoline is over $4.00 a gallon.
And yes, I'd love to see it at $2.00 again. But before we declare gasoline the most outrageously expensive liquid on Earth, let's put things in perspective.
For $4.00, I get a GALLON of gasoline. I pour it into a 4,000-pound machine, turn a key, and that gallon will haul me, my wife, the groceries, the golf clubs and half the junk in my trunk almost 30 miles down the highway.
That's actually a pretty impressive day's work for $4.00.
Now let's compare.
A restaurant sells me a 5-ounce glass of wine for $9. That's about $230 a gallon. And how far does it transport me?
Usually from the dinner table to the men's room.
A fancy coffee shop can charge $6 for a 16-ounce latte. That's $48 a gallon. It doesn't transport me 30 miles. It transports me from "Leave me alone" to "Okay, now you may speak."
Bottled water at a convenience store might be $2.50 for 20 ounces. That's $16 a gallon, for something that occasionally falls out of the sky FOR FREE.
A 12-ounce energy drink at $3.50 works out to more than $37 a gallon. Apparently caffeine becomes a precious mineral once you put lightning bolts on the can.
Buy one of those little 2-ounce bottles of "energy shot" for $3. That's $192 a gallon. At that price, it shouldn't give me energy. It should mow my lawn.
Maple syrup at $8 for a 12-ounce bottle? About $85 a gallon. And its principal technological achievement is making pancakes sticky.
Vanilla extract at $6 for two ounces? That's $384 a gallon. For $384, I expect the vanilla bean to come to my house and bake the cookies.
Printer ink can cost thousands of dollars per gallon. And unlike gasoline, it sometimes refuses to come out because the printer has decided cyan is low.
Even that $9 glass of wine deserves another look. At roughly $230 a gallon, filling a typical 15-gallon gas tank with restaurant wine would cost about $3,450.
Of course, after drinking 15 gallons of wine, transportation would no longer be your biggest concern.
So yes, $4.00 gasoline is expensive.
But it's also a remarkable bargain when you think about what you're buying. You're purchasing enough concentrated energy to push several thousand pounds of steel, glass, groceries and humanity nearly 30 miles.
Meanwhile, we'll cheerfully pay $6 for coffee, $9 for wine and $3 for water, then stand at the gas pump staring at the numbers like we're watching the national debt clock.
Maybe gasoline doesn't need better pricing.
Maybe it just needs a fancier name.
"Handcrafted Premium Petroleum, locally pumped, small-batch refined, with subtle notes of octane and dinosaur."
Put it in a 12-ounce artisan bottle and charge $14.
We'll line up around the block.

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets.
The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural.
Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them.
That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it.
After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble.
The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first.
Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon.
American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life.
Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake.
Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs.
We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating.
So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving.
We were manufacturing jealousy.
And it worked. The Wall came down.
But here’s what no one accounted for.
When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs.
And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle.
An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas.
And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized.
So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening.
Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude.
Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated.
Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass.
Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar.
Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity.
What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle.
For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked.
Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid.
Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.”
We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries.
Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit.
You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators.
What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization.
It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine.
That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report.
Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us”
Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next.
The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

We need every patriot to mobilize calls to @LeaderJohnThune (202) 224-3121 saying DO NOT FILE A CLOTURE MOTION on the SAVE America Act. Make the Dems come to Senate floor and talk. We want a talking filibuster. No cloture motion. If Thune files that, it kills the SAVE America Act. It will be his doing. He will have killed the bill.

An optic.
I came away from a war with wounds. You don't see them, you don't want to.
For years I sat alone by a fire, drinking heavily, reliving those memories.
I write about it now, it brings some clarity, some respite, some tears, and resolve.
For years I said “I did what had to be done!” And for years I didn't buy my own bullshit, but it sure sounded good.
I never gave in, gave up, or stopped fighting. Never once asked for help. Never once admitted I was screwed. I sat on that bench by the fire, staring into its core, knowing.
Shall not kill, has echoed through my soul for decades. Rotten luck, twist of fate, wide load, narrow gate.
James Maynard Keenan wrote about his devout Christian mother. Judith. On two albums via two of his bands. He expressed his rage on one Tool song (Judith) about how unfair her life had been. But even through those trials Judith held even stronger to that faith. On another two part song with his band a perfect circle ( 10,000 days- wings for Marie Pt 1 and 2) he expressed how thankful he was for her dedication to God and her family even through all her own suffering. Even moved so far as to demand Wings for her, of God! Judith was stricken by an aneurysm when James was 11, she survived another 27 years suffering though this severely disabling condition. 10,000 days is roughly 27 years.
I mistacked the deck to my own detriment. I watched as other soldiers prayed before our war. I feared what was coming, and I distanced myself from asking for salvation for what I expected to come.
In the aftermath I took the entire weight onto my shoulders. I was pushed into getting help one time in 1993. The Vet Center counselor in Denver, was an absolute prick. In under five minutes he was accusing me of beating my wife and kids, Then told me “If you walk out of this office, I’ll contact the police if I see your name in the blotter!” “As” I walked out with my first wife, who was in absolute shock!
At that time I raged at myself, there was a 100x greater chance of me committing suicide then, than me hurting the people around me. That ended any chance of me asking for or taking professional help. Right up to 2006, when I finally broke. My first marriage ended on ugly terms. I couldn’t stop drinking and the breakup made it worse. I was on a collision course with a self made disaster.
It all ended with me having myself committed for chemical dependence. That changed, I was most certainly chemically dependent, but I was also diagnosed with PTSD. That set off another chain of treatment.
Through all of this, I rebuked God. I went to AA and chose my own higher power, and it failed, repeatedly. I danced around the issue as an atheist (sort of) until 2017ish, still drinking, still angry, still rebuking divine anything.
Aug. 2025, A rough week approaching the 21st. I hurt all the time. I’ve abused myself for so long. I’ve been drinking to numb the pain, and the pain has been getting worse, (*I wonder if the drinking is making the pain worse?*) On the afternoon of Aug, 20th I told myself, “last time, drink till you can’t drink anymore and you're done”. I started at the bowling alley with beers and shots. When I got home, every beer, every spirit, every drink of wine, tonight it’s over. And I started drinking. That night I drank my house completely dry.
On Aug 21st I woke feeling like pure shit, Not the regular pure shit, but refined, filtered, grade A, USDA approved pure shit. But I got out of bed, went and cleaned up the heap of trash I had left behind when I slithered off to bed (don’t remember it but I did, because that's where I woke up.) I went bowling that day at noon and suffered through it. I didn’t say anything to anyone about this being my first day sober. I think I wanted to only disappoint myself if I failed this time.
At two weeks I told a friend, then I told Mary. What's odd is I wasn’t trying to avoid it, I just didn’t want it anymore. I'm old enough to know where it leads to.
They killed Charlie Kirk the day before I hit 3 weeks. Instead of my resolve cratering, It took on a spiritual aura. I hit the one month mark yesterday. I’m still putting together my feelings and thoughts about what’s happening to me. But I know it’s a good change.
I can’t quite wrap my head around the idea of “One true belief!” Religions have come and gone. They've been manipulated and molded to fit a human ideology. I can however wrap my head around one true God, something beyond human tampering and human manipulations. Something is there behind human understanding. Pure and untouched by envy, greed, control and desire. Something that predates all our machinations.
I laid blame in the wrong directions. If God gives us free will, because he loves us, then all the horror and pain of this life is on us. When I wrote “revisited” last week, I wrote the clues to these puzzle pieces in it.
men choose what they become.
If Tyler Robinson can choose the darkness and become the catalyst of a spiritual resurgence in America? If thousands upon thousands of shadow dwelling self aggrandizing self made demons can spew hatred and vitriol online and in the media?
Then one man can be moved by God to oppose their hatred, and if they kill that one man? Thousands more can be moved to oppose them. And millions can have a come to Jesus moment.
God is working through us! This is what I missed, this is the part I refused to hear, rejected as tripe. We are imperfect, selfish, impulsive, prideful animals.
God doesn't step in to fix us. God leaves us to fix ourselves.
I heard it when it was said, it’s funny how things I’ve heard and seen seem to slip by at the moment, but pop up to the forefront when I'm really delving into humanity and God. The following clip is from Constantine. Listen from the 1 min mark. Gabriel might not be insane. youtube.com/watch?v=fqymXN3c…

Called out.
We are watching in real time as the left screeches to continue a violent crime wave in DC. Well, there it is! I’ve said this so many times over the past 8 years, it's become comical. “Democrats have gone so far off the political map that they are now pandering to the criminals and cartels.”
It’s not something new. Democrats have boxed themselves into supporting so many niche demographics, it’s become a race to see who can dig the furthest into the mud.
Antifa, BLM, HAMAs, Drug cartels, Illegal aliens, Sexual deviants, Communists, and sexual predators fill their ranks along with the politically ignorant, useful idiots, screeching “Free Palestine!” and “Reproductive rights are human rights!”
At this point, Nothing democrats could say or do would surprise me. And there's nothing on the Democratic platform I could even remotely support.
Trump federalizes DC, and within minutes, Democrats are claiming DC crime rates have fallen, Fallen from what exactly? Fallen from one of the most crime-infested shitholes in the US? No? I don’t want to hear you gaslight about how safe the #3 most dangerous city in America is. STFU.
Trump has secured the border, 0 illegals are crossing now. And we are deporting the largest number of illegals in US history daily. And of course, democrats screech and moan about human rights, and “No one is illegal!” But they are; you just choose to ignore the laws that prove it.
30% down to 19% approval rating for the Democrats, and their knee-jerk reaction is to invoke the Epstein list, make accusations about Trump they have no evidence of, get the media to spew and repeat the allegations, and the right still ignores you? Want to know why? Because for the past 10 years, we've seen this swiftboat tactic used so many times it's become an inside joke. A meme from an Austin Powers movie. Democrats have less credibility than some random methhead you just met at a bus stop. And it's glorious when you realize, they did this to themselves.
Before Trump, Americans expected some disappointment from politicians. We had grown accustomed to campaign promises being left behind when the campaign ended. Once again, Trump has done more in his first 6 months in office than any other president in US history. And he isn’t slowing down.
During Trump's first term, Democrats went full tilt anti-Trump; they attacked on every front they could create. It appears that Trump's second term will be a complete reversal. Trump is stoking the engines to go full tilt “Law and Order!” A laundry list of indictments and investigations is cascading into the backdrop of American politics. Agencies that were fully and completely captured are shaking themselves free of the corruption, or are being dissolved.
Chuck Schumer demanded 1 billion from Trump to allow his judicial appointments. Trump told Schumer to “Get F##ked!” And Schumer directed Thune to do his bidding, and Thune has now betrayed Trump. But remember, Trump just federalized DC! Imagine the results of A senior senator attempting to shake down a US president for money? Then, using his swamp power to puppeteer another senior Senator? The corruption is in full view, and it's prosecutable.
Never in history has the disconnect between DC politicos and the Average American been so evident. Now we wait, we watch as the show unfolds. All the dirty tricks and backroom deals get laid out for the average Joe. We are already seeing the appetizers, the Russian collusion hoax wasn't a hoax at all; it was an attempted coup of a sitting US president. The coup targeted every Trump cabinet member. They tried to destroy Flynn, they tried to crucify Stone, and they even went so far as to raid Trump's home and rifle through his wife's underwear drawer. And when all else failed, they tried to kill him in full view of the American people.
As a little BTW. Even with total control of the media, the courts, the voting machines, the investigative branches of the government, a full censorship apparatus in social media, trillions of stolen tax dollars funding NGOs and leftist causes, and an entirely captured and gaslit base of useful idiots? They were and are so horribly incompetent, they couldn’t stop 1 man?
I’m still laughing. I used to believe anyone could learn based on new information. I believed that even deeply rooted false indoctrination could be cleansed in a person with enough exposure to the truth. But it’s becoming more and more evident that there are people who will reject truth in favor of their indoctrination. But the truly incredible part of this is, if you were so gullible that you failed at resisting stupid and obvious gaslighting, and now you’re an acolyte of stupidity? It’s probably a good thing for those of us who rejected the bullshit. You belong on the side that has failed, and will continue to fail out of pure incompetence and stupidity.

Who you are.
It's not like we didn't see what you were doing all this time. We just didn't think such an atrocious act would send you into celebration. Trust me on this, we see you for who you truly are now.
There was a time I though many of you could be salvaged. But reading your comments, Giddy with glee. That a loving father, and husband, was gunned down in broad daylight in front of millions of people, just turned my entire hope for you, into a cold dead lack of give a shit.
You just changed how well over half the country now views you. You're petty and spiteful, hateful and soulless. You're also alone in this endeavor. I hope you enjoyed this little selfish win. You won't get many more.
I no longer care what you think of me because I see right through your facade. I see that dark twisted ideology you harbor now. I know my soul, and it's 30 shade lighter than yours. and that Little pitch black shriveled heart you have.
I guess I should thank you. you released me from giving a single f**k about what happens to you. I no longer want to know, or care about where you end up.
If I can make some suggestions? Go to any major city and protest ICE and law enforcement. I have this feeling those guys are gonna love to play nice with you after today. Make sure you wear something offensive, go make some Fuck Charlie Kirk hats and buttons and wear them with the same glee you had earlier today. (wear running shoes).
Go block traffic, hold up offensive banners, and rub that shit in. (message me if your coming to my area, I really want to sit in awe of your absolute devotion to your cause.) (make sure you have your ID, Running shoes not required).
Scream in someone's face! Get in their space, Pick some old man like me. I love it, They did that to me in the army when I was 19 and I just stood there and took the verbal abuse. Let's see if I can still take it.
While your on this rolling adventure, step out of your comfort zone, drive out to any rural TSC or John Deere store. Protest in the parking lot, wave the Palestine flag and demand the farmers and ranchers who come in to shop bow down to your social justice superiority.
See, you didn't just shift it, you broke the Overton window today. you just made the biggest mistake of your entire worthless political activist lives. you gloated in the death of a person you perceived as an enemy. And that Man, Was most likely, one of the kindest men in the oppositions ranks. A man that was willing to take every sling and arrow you could muster, and still sit and smile as he explained why you were wrong. And in your hubris and glee, you truly pissed off every single one of the people who admired his patient resolve. None of us are Charlie Kirk, But all of us saw who you are today.

I want all Democrats who are bitching about the bill that got passed to get on their social media platforms and read this bill line for fucking line and if they don’t have the balls to do it. It’s because they know they’re spewing nothing but bullshit.. I don’t wanna hear any goddamn hypotheticals. I want y’all to read line 4 line everything in this bill. You sit here and say tax cuts for corporations are bad but failed to realize that less taxes on corporations bring jobs back to this country and keep it here because we offer the lowest amount of taxes than anywhere else in this world. Which brings back jobs brings back economic prosperity, but for whatever fucking reason y’all don’t want that.
