I agree. I wonder if he has ever bought a gun or ammo. Us hicks in The South have to fill out paperwork to buy a gun anywhere, gunshows too, they get immediate results. We have to have two forms of I.D. to buy bullets.

The only friend I had left my age just died 3 months ago. We apprenticed as tool makers together. He developed diabetes & had to get off concrete floors @ 65. He started making antique caliber black powder cartridges & match grade cartridges.

I am executor of his estate. His net worth, excluding his house, is in his equipment & supplies, purchase price over $1,000,000.00 for current calibers, over $2,000,000.00 for tooling to make antique calibers. He has a library of books, some originals, on gun designs, powder, had to have to make antique cartridges, worth $500,000.00.

Kevyn needs to buy all of it, see how simple it is. I have had 3 attorneys advise me to give everything to ATF for destruction. He had two daughters & 7 grandchildren so that is not an option. I am liable for all this, if Kevyn can come up w/ $2,000,000.00 and a license to buy it, we can make a deal. If he can do that, he can buy the gun collection for another million, half price.

He can take the whole tractor trailer load to his local law enforcement for disposal, get arrested, & feel good about doing his part for gun control.

Is Nancy Pelosi a secret agent for the Republican Party? Sometimes you have to wonder. Her latest outburst, in which she derides the accelerating economy and declining unemployment, is so nonsensical that it demeans Democrats’ credibility, shows them to be remarkably out of touch with average Americans and underscores the poverty of their competing platform. It isn’t the first time Pelosi has given GOP candidates rich fodder for ridicule; remember how she compared thousand-dollar bonuses to “crumbs?” That’s a clip that will show well in midterm campaign ads.

Pelosi’s latest Twitter sensation came amidst her weekly press conference, at which she scorned the improving jobs situation. Here’s a direct quote: "(P)eople say, ‘Oh my goodness, ... people are saying the unemployment rate is down, why isn’t my purchasing power increasing? So, this isn’t just about the unemployment rate, it’s about wages rising in our country, so that consumer confidence is restored.”

OMG, you got to be kidding! The horse is smilin'.

The threat is from a far right wing that has ran its self of a cliff in its hatred for the left. The liberal Progressive New Deal coalition died in the early 1970's and the right began its move to reclaim America for the business class and with in 20 years had accomplished just that. The left does not want dictatorship. The nation needs a reasonable viable right to keep progressives from over reaching but Todays right has become the most dangerous organization on earth their denial of science and reality threatens life on this planet as humanity has known it

"What Will K**l the American Empire"


"What Will K**l the American Empire"
by Bill Bonner

"All earthly empires die. Is this the end? Only God knows."
– St. Augustine, 413 AD

Poitou, France – "Yesterday, in advance of the G7 pow-wow this weekend, Donald Trump tweeted his position on trade: "If we charge a country ZERO to sell their goods, and they charge us 25, 50 or even 100 percent to sell ours, it is UNFAIR and can no longer be tolerated. That is not Free or Fair Trade, it is Stupid Trade!" He’s got that nearly right. Trade barriers are certainly not free. And fairness has nothing to do with it. They are just stupid.

Empire Dies: We’re not going to tolerate this anymore, said the American president. If the foreigners do stupid things… well, by golly… we will, too! If they tax our stuff, we’ll tax theirs. We are sneaking up on our prey, hiding in the tall grass until we get a good, clean shot. Our target: the U.S. government and how it has changed. Since when, we wonder, did it care about how other nations abuse their citizens or mangle their economies. Since when did the U.S. president – on his own say-so – get to decide how much we pay for our cars or our spaghetti?

We’ve been trying to understand how the federal government could be one thing – on paper – and an entirely different thing in reality. Not that we have any particular fascination with government. But the feds now have immense powers that are nowhere granted in the Constitution… and they’re using them to wreck the economy… and put the U.S. into a nightmare of debt, inflation, depression, repression, war, and revolution. Those are the kinds of things you get when an empire dies.

On paper, this Decline and Fall ought to be easily avoidable. A show of hands in Congress and you can balance the budget and bring the troops home. But things ain’t necessarily what they seem. What is written on paper is not necessarily the same as what is. And sometimes, people – individually and collectively – blow themselves up… and light the fuse with their own matches. So… let’s have a look.

Borrowing and Bombing: We don’t recall when the Constitution was repealed. We don’t remember seeing any revolution or c**p d’état on TV. Congress never v**ed on a new system of government. And as far as we know, no third party with a radical, new agenda has seized power. And yet, the checks are gone. The balances, too. E******ns are almost meaningless.

The news and the money are f**e. The courts are powerless. The president and nearly every member of Congress has been captured by the Deep State. Borrowing and bombing continue to increase… with nothing to stop them. Borrowing and bombing were not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. They designed a government of limited powers (powers not expressly given to the feds were reserved for the states and the people) that would pay its own way and mind its own business.

Their government was supposed to, as Washington put it, “avoid foreign entanglements.” Or, as John Quincy Adams described it in 1821: “She goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.”

She had no central bank; her money was limited, too. She insisted on “only gold or silver” money from the states and passed her own gold-backed currency act in 1792.

And debt? One hundred and fifty years after her founding, she had a national debt of only $19 billion. Jeff Bezos could have paid it off, and had $107 billion to spare. Today, the U.S. has more than 1,000 times as much government debt as it did under Calvin Coolidge. By comparison, GDP is up only 190 times. Coolidge came into office as an America Firster, with no intention of using U.S. troops abroad. But even he was soon drawn into the incipient empire program, and sent troops to Nicaragua to help put down a local r*******n.

Now, U.S. armed forces are looking for monsters in hundreds of different countries; where none can be found, they create them. And, as near as we can tell, the feds can do pretty much any damned fool thing they want. The limits have long since been lifted.

One Word: How did this happen? The answer, we believe, is in the word: vernacular. As we explained yesterday, there are formal structures – ordained by law, legislation, and official proclamation. And there are other things… that better describe how we really speak, do business, and get along with each other.

The classic win-win deal, promoted by Jesus of Nazareth two millennia ago, is not the law of the land anywhere; it is the vernacular. It was never invented by anyone… no one got the Nobel Prize for coming up with it… and there are no legal penalties for not doing it. Still, most people on the planet follow the rule, generally, on an everyday basis. If they want a burger, they give some money to the burger store. If they want money, they offer their time to an employer. If Ford wants to sell pickup trucks, it does its best to make people want them.

That is the commonly accepted way to get what you want and need in life. If you want a wife, you have to offer her something that makes it worth her while. If you want a loaf of bread, you have to give something of equal value to the baker. No matter what you are after, whether it is love, respect, a fortune, or a bag of Frito-Lay corn chips, our advice is to earn it.

Only crooks, cads, and governments operate on a different model. And as the Republic evolved into an Empire, they proliferated. They get, but they don’t want to give. They take, but they don’t want to make. They do unto others, but they make sure others can’t do unto them.

That model – win-lose, with trade wars, real wars, drones, f**e currency, and debt – is carrying the U.S. empire to its inevitable destruction. The only people who could stop it are Deep State insiders. And they will not, because they are on the win side of the deal. It’s the rest of us who are on the losing side."
