"Guns On the Street"

Surprise, surprise! Potential criminals tend to buy their guns (those that don't just steal them) "off the street," not from gun stores. And those who buy from gun stores are not generally the crooks; so why do they keep making it harder and harder on honest, law-abiding people to get guns to use in self defense? I don't think they do it to make things easier for criminals to victimize us, but that's the sum effect of ALL their highly-touted "gun laws." And you can't convince them of this. Are they just STUPID, or what?

MEDICAL EMERGENCY: Sorry, folks. I missed a day recently. I had a medical emergency that required TWO trips to the hospital and one to a specialist to correct They told me it wasn't really serious, but they weren't experiencing the pain I was. I fought to keep updating these blogs, and did it, although I got seriously behind on my research. I'm pretty much caught up now, and I thank you for your patience. Still, I AM 80 years old, and these things will happen. I will continue bringing you the truth as long as I can.

"POVERTY AND HOPELESSNESS": That's what's at the bottom of a lot of the "gun crime." The "authorities" recognize this, but keep on making laws to make honest people defenseless. The most of the "gun violence" everywhere is committed by street gangs, many of whom RULE their areas. Even the cops, in some areas, leave them alone unless they get way "out of control, as they are wont to do, sometimes. In some places, they even DEFER to them, as if they were a LEGITIMATE organization. In Sacramento, they even want to PAY them not to kill people. Is that insane, or what? They should give me money so I won't kill anybody.

WHY IS THERE POVERTY? In the richest country in the world, there is still poverty. It is that, they blame for the "gun violence" and gang activity. But why IS there poverty in a country that is the richest in the world? Why are there pockets of poverty? The reason is drugs. Some people get rich selling them, and others get POOR buying them. The next thing they have to do to "support their habits" is start stealing. They can't make enough money to support their habits by working, and the drugs increase the tendency to do NOTHING, rather than go out and work to improve their lot in life.

VENDETTA AGAINST FOX: Has anybody noticed the plethora of accusations of sexual misconduct aimed at popular Fox News hosts in the last year or so (with NONE against CNN people)? Roger Ailes, the top guy, was accused, and removed. The allegations were never proven before he died in an accident in his home. Ditto for one of his top execs. Bill O'Reilly, at the time the top ratings-getter, was also accused, and lost his job. Eric Bolling, likewise. Both without any kind of PROOF of sexual misconduct, only somebody's unsupported word. Others were accused, and cleared. Charles Payne was similarly accused, but cleared. Notice that all the accusations come from the LEFT, on the RIGHT.

WHO THE HELL CARES? Vanity Fair snubbed Melania Trump and that cost Graydon Carter his editor's job there. Big thrill! Who cares if Vanity Fair recognizes Melania? The snub was just part of the "Trump Derangement Syndrome," anyway. I'm sure Melania doesn't care. She's no longer a model. She's the wife of the President of the United States, who is a billionaire. She's so far above this fool, it makes no difference to her. He only did it to get headlines, and look what it accomplished. There are always fools who come out of the woodwork to take advantage of someone else's fame. It doesn't always work out.

CBO; NEVER RIGHT: The Congressional Budget Office: is a useless government agency, but one on which Congress and the rest of the government depends, absolutely. Their job is to "advise" the government on the economic effect of their new tax laws. If they pass a new tax deigned to bring in one hundred billion dollars, they ask the CBO to "score" the law, which means tell them if the law WILL bring in one hundred billion dollars. So the CBO goes to work and comes up with a "finding," Not considering the real effect the new law will have on taxpayers. They ASSUME that ALL taxpayers will just PAY the tax, and it will bring in one hundred million dollars--it will not.
