Virginia National Guard Statement Regarding Potential Gun Confiscation

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) and several other politicians have openly suggested using the Virginia National Guard to implement gun confiscation plans in those jurisdictions that have declared themselves "Second Amendment Sanctuaries."  No formal request to do so has yet been made, although speculation is swirling. In response, Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia, has released the following statement via the Facebook account of the Virginia National Guard.

Official Statement from Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams

"We have received multiple questions regarding proposed legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session and the authority of the Governor of Virginia to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law enforcement role. Please make sure you share this message with your all of your personnel.

We understand and respect the passion people feel for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard. I encourage everyone to be patient while we allow our elected officials to work through the legislative process.

We have not received any requests from the Governor, or anyone on his staff, about serving in a law enforcement role related to any proposed legislation.

I expect our Soldiers, Airmen and members of the Virginia Defense Force to be professional and respectful in their discussions about this subject. As private citizens, our personnel are free to express their opinions to their elected officials, but they should not engage in any political activity while in a uniformed status.

We will provide regular updates when appropriate during the General Assembly session. Please utilize your chain of command to direct any questions or concerns to my office, and we will do our best to address them."

Updates from the Impeachment/Coup

By Timothy Gamble

On Friday, the House Judiciary Committee voted on and passed two Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump, charging the President with Obstruction of Congress and Abuse of Power. The Articles of Impeachment passed on a strictly party line vote of 23 to 17. This sets up a full House vote on each article individually, which is expected to occur on Wednesday, Dec. 18, although some have suggested pushing the vote back one day to Dec. 19, which was the date of President Bill Clinton's Impeachment in 1998.

It is considered highly likely that the Articles of Impeachment will be passed by the full House, although it is expected that between 6 and 12 democrats, all from Districts that Trump carried in 2016, will vote against the Articles. Impeachment by the House of Representatives carries no enforcement or punishment. The Articles of Impeachment will then be sent to the Senate for consideration. 

The Senate does have the power to issue punishment up to and including removal from office. Should Trump be removed from office, Vice-President Mike Pence will be sworn in as President. However, it is considered highly unlikely the Senate would approve the Articles of Impeachment or issue any punitive measures. Other then making news for another week or two, impeachment is dead at this point.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton has issued the following statement: "[Yesterday's] vote on the articles of impeachment was both a tragedy and a farce. Truly, it is a sad day for America because a grave injustice was committed. There is no abuse of power by President Trump, however, it is clear that abuses were committed against him by the DOJ, the State Department, the FISA court, and certainly by Democrats in the House.

This impeachment scam was corruptly formed and is being corruptly pursued. A coup cabal has hijacked the House to violate the rights of President Trump and undermine our constitutional republic. It is not too late to “stop the coup.” Americans should call their members of Congress to share their views on this wild attack on self-government."

The Evening News for 12-12-2019

Today's handpicked headlines, with analysis and commentary.

Conservatives, Boris, and Brexit Win in a Blowout!  Although the votes are still being tallied as I type this, it appears almost certain that Boris Johnson and the Conservatives have won the UK election by a HUGE margin. It appears to be an absolute blowout of historic proportions, with Conservatives likely to win an 86 seat majority. This is their best showing since the Margaret Thatcher days, and Labor's worst election since the 1940s. Results will likely mean a rather quick Brexit is assured, and a quick trade deal with the US is coming.  Too many quickly changing headlines to post at the moment, so I'll post some tomorrow night.

14-Year-Old Child Hospitalized After Being Brutally Attacked By Multiple Students on School Bus Over Trump Hat (Gateway Pundit) - More violence from the political LEFT. Despite the claims of the talking heads in the mainstream media, most political violence historically (and currently) comes from the LEFT.  

Finnish parents lose custody of child for refusing sex change treatment (Voice of Europe) - Again, we see that parental rights are denied when it conflicts with the LGBT agenda. This is happening more and more often.

Denmark: Twenty Muslims arrested as jihad massacre plot is foiled (Jihad Watch) - Another result of uncontrolled migration as the Islamic stealth invasion of Europe continues.

AD:  Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and Resettlement Jihad, by  veteran investigative journalist Leo Hohmann, documents  a well-defined strategy for conquering America, not necessarily with violent jihadist attacks, although we should expect those to increase, but through more subtle means collectively called "civilization jihad."

The Evening News for 12-11-2019

Today's handpicked headlines, with analysis and commentary.

With Rise of Far-Right Extremists, N.Y.P.D. Creates Special Unit (New York Times) - Sounds good. Violent extremists need to be stopped, regardless of their political or social ideology. The problem will be who defines "far-right," and how. At first, groups advocating violence will be so labeled, but these things have a way of being abused by politicians. How long before pro-life protesters, for example, are investigated for extremism because demonstrating against abortion is considered a form of intimidation and bullying, and thus "violent?" Or a ministry for being "anti-gay marriage." Or a hunting club because they have firearms? A slippery-slope which bears close watching.

"This Is The End Of The World For The Average Person..." (ZeroHedge) - This line from the article explains it all: "technology will continue to advance, and therefore, so will automation.  As this happens, the gap between the wealthy and the poor will increase as the middle class fades into nonexistence." Yep. We are on the cusp of an emerging dystopia, and technology will play a major role. Its part of the reason for my new Dystopian Survival website.

Liz Wheeler, host of Tipping Point on OANN, reports via her Twitter account:  "Btw the Black Israelites who shot up the Kosher deli yesterday in a targeted anti-Semitic massacre... are the same group name as the folks who harassed the Covington Catholic kids.  Just thought you should know since the MSM will never report that."

Record number of migrants arriving at U.S. border from terrorist-prone nations (OAN video via Whatfinger News) - This is why we need secure borders. We have a right and a duty to protect our people by knowing who is coming into our country, and stopping undesirables such as terrorists, human taffickers, drug cartels, and gang members from entering. 

Germany: Left-wing extremists set fire to Leipzig tax office (Voice of Europe) - Despite what the tlking heads in the mainstream media say, it is the political LEFT which is much more prone to violence than the Right, both historically and in today's current climate.  

Norwegian government awards Islamist group 100,000 euros to convert 100-year-old church into a mosque (Voice of Europe) - Europe is not only losing its Christian culture, it is in fact slowly becoming Islamic. 

‘Hitler-worshipping Islamist’ migrant nearly kills Swedish teen during hours of brutal torture (Voice of Europe) - Its not much noted today due to political correctness, but there was a great deal of admiration for Nazi Germany and Adolph Hitler among muslims during and after World War II. Those ties exist today, as the ideology and hate spewed by both neo-Nazis and Islamic extremists are quite similar. Two peas in a pod.

New York: (Another) Muslim Immigrant Pleads Guilty to Providing Material Support to Terrorists (Creeping Sharia) - It will be largely ignored by the mainstream media, but yet another Muslim immigrant in the US is actively supporting terrorists.

As experts analyze North Korean missile engine test, some say Kim is done talking (American Militry News) - As the US continues to dance with North Korea over their nuclear and missle programs, its worth remembering that Kim and North Korea dance to the tune of China.
