Democrats want the commander in chief powerless

Senator Chris Murphy introduced a bill designed to block the commander in chief from acting as commander in chief. Specifically, the bill is designed to prevent President Trump from launching a first strike on North Korea, except in situations of imminent threat or authorization from Congress.

The co-sponsors of the bill include Socialist Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren and Cory Booker, as well as Brian Schatz, Tammy Duckworth, Jeff Merkley and Tom Udall.

Funny, but when Barack Obama ordered a pre-emptive military action against Libya, the left was perfectly fine with his actions.

It was March 28, 2011 when Obama addressed the American public about Libya on national TV. In one passage about why he unilaterally did this he said:

"Confronted by this brutal repression and a looming humanitarian crisis, I ordered warships into the Mediterranean. European allies declared their willingness to commit resources to stop the killing. The Libyan opposition, and the Arab League, appealed to the world to save lives in Libya. At my direction, America led an effort with our allies at the United Nations Security Council to pass an historic Resolution that authorized a No Fly Zone to stop the regime's attacks from the air, and further authorized all necessary measures to protect the Libyan people."

But Obama was no Donald Trump, and the left was okay that he took the initiative to save the world from the Libyan dictator Kim Jong Un Saddam Hussein.

Now the Democrats are worried that while North Korea gets relentlessly closer to developing a delivery system of a nuclear warhead (because Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and George W. Bush were gullible fools to believe Kim Jong Il) that Trump will preemptively stop Kim Jong Un from preemptively striking the U.S. mainland or Guam.

The Democratic mindset is that a first strike by us is considered to be an 'unprovoked war.' 

The truth is a little different. 

Kim has been provoking us, South Korea and Japan ever since his symbolically flipped us off and then had a testosterone-fest with President Trump.

When North Korea fired a missile over Japan, how were they to know the target and the capability of the missile? Were they supposed to wait and see what would happen? 

Taking away the President's ability to be commander in chief of the military is a mistake. That's why it should be called "Murphy's Law" if it passes.

All gun control measures fail in Senate

The Constitution of the United States won on Monday. The Senate tried to pass a series of gun control measures but all four amendments were defeated.

The first vote was Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) amendment proposal to increase funding for current background checks. It needed 60 votes but the tally was 53 to 47. 

Next was Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) proposal to expand gun background checks and close the gun show loophole where gun sales are not tracked. This vote ended 44 to 56. It appears the Senate wasn't ready for the "Big Brother" approach. 

The fact is, many gun shows are not allowing private sales due to the controversy, so in large part, the problem doesn't exist. 

Last week, following the Orlando Islamic terrorist attack, Murphy filibustered for 14 hours and 50 minutes seeking legislative action that had nothing to do with the shooting. 

The filibuster was a perfectly-timed, insensitive political response to the slaughter. The gunman sought a gun-free zone. He had considered Orlando's Disney World but it has security and he decided it wasn't a "soft" enough target. He chose the Pulse nightclub instead and killed 49 people and wounded 53 others.

The third vote was on a measure by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tx.) that would allow the government to delay gun sales to suspected terrorists for 72 hours, but require prosecutors to show probable cause to block the sale permanently. Even the NRA backs this legislation, but the amendment still failed 53 to 47.

The fourth vote was a measure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to keep people on a government terrorism watch list or other suspected terrorists from buying guns. The Department of Justice endorsed this but the legislation failed 47 to 53. 

If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Feinstein carries.

Never passing up the chance to flare his nostrils and blame the GOP for Islamic terrorism, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D- NY, and uncle to Amy Schumer) said, "It's hard to believe, but still true, that our Republican colleagues voted to allow suspected terrorists to buy guns. We will keep pushing until they see the light." 

This coming from the political party that refuses to open their eyes and define the enemy and their ideology. This coming from the political party that refuses to compromise and blocked two Republican amendments because Democrats want total control over who can buy guns.

Meanwhile, in Democrat-controlled Chicago, there have been about 1800 shooting victims so far this year. Of these, there have been about 300 deaths as a result. The city has very strict gun control laws.

Detroit, another Democrat-led city with strict gun-control laws where more people die of gun-related incidents than traffic accidents.

The best way to stop terrorism in the United States is to defeat the terrorists where they live. To do that, we actually have to know who they are and what makes them do what they do--their ideology--so we can better predict their behavior.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." --Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

It's Islamic jihad, people.

Tighter gun control will only anger terrorists more

"I got your nose right here"

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) believes that if we end citizen's rights to get guns that would prevent law abiding terrorists from getting guns, and he's correct. 

Not so much for the not so law abiding terrorists.

Murphy (aka "Comrade Chris") ended an almost 15-hour filibuster on the Senate floor in a senseless effort to force a vote on gun control legislation following Sunday's Islamic terrorist attack in Orlando. 

Democrats jumped at the chance to go after guns (even before the 49 bodies and 52 wounded were removed, along with the dead crap-weasel who did the shooting), from the gay nightclub known as "Pulse." There were also two anti-Second Amendment RINOs who joined Murphy.


In an interview with ISIS terrorist Muhammad Mohamed Mahmoud Omar bin Mohammed bin Osama bin Obama, the terrorist said that he is "very upset with American liberals. They are trying to make new gun laws that is making it much harder to get legal guns, so we must resort to getting, how do you say, black market guns. We do not wish to do that, as we want to abide by the law, as law abiding terrorists."

Mo, as his 4 wives call him, added "It takes us an additional five minutes to walk the extra block to the black market man with his fancy big car and buy illegal guns from the trunk of the vehicle. I feel that it is unfair to us in the Islamic State, and Inshallah, we will have to resort to using illegal pressure cookers, box cutters, knives, cars and what you Americans call 'baseball bats' to keel you. And keel you we will surely do, especially now that the bullets will only fly in one direction."

The leftist media was not available for comment as they had migrated to their "safe space."
