This retired award winning teacher of High School History (American and World History) says that the Founding Fathers were quite explicit in their writings about the final published version of the Second Amendment and you should stop worrying and quibbling about it because it really has nothing to do with firearms at all. It has everything to do with the power of the government. George Washington was a certified gun nut. He owned over FIFTY very high quality, expensive firearms. Thomas Jefferson, when writing to a nephew about overcoming his weak physical appearance suggested a daily walk that included a gun for target shooting, “To put a SPRING IN YOUR STEP.” George Mason posited that the “militia consists of ALL THE PEOPLE, except for a few public officials.” The ignorant and frankly stupid liberals who constantly state that “militia” is what is now termed the National Guard and that it must be restricted to the specific weapons in use at that time. Ignoring that the National Guard wasn’t even created until 1903. Were the Founders talking about that concept they’d have been referring to the Tories loyal to King George! Then these fool’s… ignorant of our History try to insist that since AR-15’s weren’t conceived of by the Founders, the weapons must be restricted to what was used during the American Revolution. Except that the technology advanced rapidly during the war allowing faster loading and increased accuracy over much longer distances. See the explanation below concerning the Girandoni semiautomatic rifle that was developed 12 years before the Second Amendment was ratified. That rifle would eventually be carried on the expedition of Lewis & Clark. Used to bring down a Moose to feed the expedition members. When I taught AP American Government, I always had my students read Federalist 46 written by James Madison. In it, he said that our newly formed nation was superior to the European monarchies because of the Second Amendment, as it allows the forcible overthrow of a tyrannical regime. You see, if the INFANTRY uses it, the PEOPLE MUST HAVE IT TOO…. BUT IN GREATER NUMBERS!

Yeah, BTDT. I used to make my living doing that. We never carried a tent like that. Usually, I’d get my platoon into a patrol site, get security set, arrange watches and if it was raining, each of us would snuggle up to a tree, wrap ourselves in a poncho with liner and of necessary to stay warm start a tiny propane stove and heat some ramen soup and wait for the moment to start our assigned training mission. While it was miserable to work in a heavy downpour, it was much easier as well. Rain covered the sound of movement; rain screwed with the opponents ability to work against us. However, eventually I did do a Branch transfer as an officer to Armor because tanker live much better than the infantry!

Yes, it's entirely possible, and even probable that both Putin is delusional and desperate to hold on to his power, and that Western leaders sabotaged their own countries in pursuit of their globalist agenda. And yes, China is on the more dangerous trajectory at this point, but I don't think they want a confrontation as badly as they pretend. Their economy is as tied to the West as ours is to theirs. They import almost as much from us as they export to us. But I think the trump card in all of this is that the way wars are fought is changing rapidly, and the USA has technological advantages the enemy doesn't even know about. China may have infiltrated universities, and even some programs like Los Alamos, but they haven't infilitrated all the advanced research projects we have spread out through 50 different semi-private contractors. And we won't deploy our best tech until we need to. The enemy won't know what hit them if we get backed into a corner.

Here’s the dealbreaker that Iran has had in its back pocket all along. As if they’re in ANY position to make demands! This is the true Iranian mindset that is normal for all of Islam. Israel ain’t gonna budge and Trump can’t make them. theepochtimes.com/world/iran…

Sharing this again for anyone who missed it. A cat from Gaza didn't want to leave the IDF jeep, so the soldiers decided to take him to Israel and promised to find him a loving home that would take care of him. "He's on his way to Israel. His life is going to change completely."

Christians gather in the street to pray. An immigrant walks up, spits at them, and tries to shut it down. Bad move. He picked the Christian who doesn’t turn the other cheek.

The first auto brand to make a pickup with ZERO TECH will sell out so fast it'll make their head spin. No brain, no GPS...just engine, transmission, rear end, and get the hell outta my way:)

Mark Levin speaks out against the current attempt to make a deal with the terror regime of Iran: “In a period of two-months, Israel has gone from a great ally and partner in war, fighting by our side against a horrible enemy that has killed thousands of our people, killed tens of thousands of their own people, and was a dire nuclear threat intent on attacking us, to Israeli PM Netanyahu being a difficult person who should be thanking us for saving his country from Iran and should get our permission if he wants to defend his people from Hezbollah and Iran, and stand down when his country is attacked.   And just yesterday, Israel's PM avenged the execution of 5 American soldiers by taking out a Hezbollah commander/terrorist.  And only Israel has been killing Hezbollah leaders who murdered our Marines, soldiers, embassy staff, and more.  It seems to me a kind word is in order.  How does this make any sense?” Share if you agree with him! Iran’s regime has no right to dictate Israel’s retaliation to the non-stop attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon!

ISRAEL’S TRUE & STRONG ALLIES🚨 Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth stand out as the clearest, most unwavering voices in the Trump administration that truly support and stand with Israel. While others backstab, Marco and Pete deliver consistent, principled backing for the US’s key ally against terror and aggression. Thank you @marcorubio & @PeteHegseth

They (Northern Ireland) waited quite awhile before they acted. New York is a weak, submissive city who elected an invader and encouraged him to keep going with the conquest. But there’s other states where this isn’t the case… Nor are the citizens weak or unprepared for WAR.

Not just the coppers, the Royals and the Parliament, too. And it’s gonna be tough to “resist.” Then there was the dumbfuck Police Commissioner in London who forgot that we won the American Revolution when he DEMANDED that all American citizens who say mean things about Britain online while doing so from our home soil be arrested, extradited to England for trial and imprisonment! Good luck with that, mate.

Islam never negotiates from a position of WEAKNESS. They have never respected those who do “negotiate in good faith” as they see it as weakness. They’ll keep to the deal until they’ve rebuilt their capabilities or use Israel as an excuse to make war again. jihadwatch.org/2026/06/irani…

Putin says he doesn't fear the UK because, "they can't even stop rubber boats invading their country or foreign men raping their women and kids." He also said the British people hate their leader.

Let’s just be clear about this. Israel does NOT need America in the Middle East. America needs Israel in the Middle East. The only wars Israel fought and decisively won were in 1948 and 1967 were when America was not involved and led an arms embargo go against them. Make no mistake about it. Israel will always survive, with or without America.

As someone who’s been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, I’ll just say…. There’s a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was 💯the way! Bravo!

My name is Jose Garcia Acosta. I am a United States Navy Chief. I am also Apache as my grandfather is from the Mescalero Apache tribe. Someone said it is disgraceful for me to wear a uniform for the USA if I am Native American. Let me tell you this. I am Apache and American. We do not come up with excuses not to serve or go to battle for our people." Photo via: Native American History
