Episode 485 – They Are Showing What They’re About

Joe Biden is looking to solve crime by taking down a Constitutional right.

And China’s message may not be getting through during the Olympics.

 

Gun Control

Joe Biden went to New York last week to talk about crime. It turned out Old Joe didn’t want to talk about crime but about guns. He wanted to talk about how guns were committing most of the crimes in the world and getting rid of guns would solve the world’s problems. Of course, he didn’t worry about crimes that did not involve guns (which is actually most crimes). You burglary, theft, child abuse, drug use and dealing, car theft and rape. All crimes revolve around guns.

And it’s not people that commit crime. It is only guns. The gun wakes up in the morning, has a cup of coffee, watches the morning news. Then the gun decides to go out and kills someone. Usually the gun decides to kill a black person. Even though most guns are black or blue steel, the are white supremacists.

Damn racist guns. They are also homophobic, transphobic and bigots.

That’s the line of thinking Joe Biden and the Left have. Or maybe their line of thinking is their religious ideology must be imposed on all people, even if they don’t believe in this sick ideology. And people should not have the ability to rebel against this ideology. People with guns can create a formidable resistance against the Left.

Here’s the problem for Joe Biden and the Left. The Constitution. They believe they’re above it. They believe the Constitution is just an old piece of paper that can be changed with some white out and a sharpie.

Listen to old Joe make that very clear in New York last week:

First off, Joe can’t seem to get through a sentence without fumbling through his words. He’s reading this statement and still stutters his way through the statement.

The cities that he speaks about have always had crime and everything has gotten worse since the defund the police movement. Gun crime did not go up because there are more guns. It has gone up because there are less police and prosecutors refuse to prosecute criminals. There have always been a lot of guns.

As far as rogue gun dealers, I’m for getting rid of them. But Joe’s Gun Shop down the street doesn’t sell guns illegally. Big 5 doesn’t sell guns illegally. Turner’s Sporting Goods doesn’t sell guns illegally. I know tis for a fact. It is street punks who are already committing the crimes that sell gun illegally and they, when caught, they are not being prosecuted because they are victims of a systemically racist system.

The last part of this statement is the big one. “No Amendment is absolute.” That statement is wrong.

The Constitution is absolute. It is the law of the land. How do we know this? It’s in the Constitution. If you want to change the Constitution, it’s in the Fifth Amendment. And, guess what, it is not the President or Supreme Court that changes the Constitution. In fact, they have no say in the process. It’s up to the Senate, the House and the States.

The last statement Biden made was the most egregious. Even the Washington Post said it was not true. That’s when he said it wasn’t legal to own a canon. There were no limits to the weapons a person could own. There were no limits tot he number of weapons a person could own. In fact, in the 18th and 19th centuries, there was fear of foreign powers and it was required to own a gun.

The Second Amendment is really straight forward:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

There are no limitations here. It doesn’t say the right the bear Arms shall not be infringed except for…”

Here’s the kicker. When I was a kid (and that was a long time ago), a person could own a Howitzer canon. He could own a fully automatic AK-47. He could own a fully automatic Chinese SKS assault rifle. He could own an automatic Uzi. He could own a SPAS Street Sweeper automatic shotgun. You could buy them at any Big 5.

The government slowly took away guns. They started with automatic rifles. Then military guns. Then attachments. The certain types of ammo. Now they are going after ghost guns and magazines sizes. The evolution has been so slow that no one noticed what was available to us at one point.

Yet the Second Amendment says we can own whatever we need with no fixed quantity. That was some on purpose. The reason: it is “necessary for a free state”. The words from the Second Amendment.

We’ve seen how taking away gun rights has gone in other countries. We saw it in China, the Soviet Union and Germany in the 20th century. We see how it went in Venezuela in in the 21st century. We are watching what happens to freedoms right now in Canada and Australia.

This is what the Left wants. They want to take away our rights to fight fr our country.

The Olympics

Speaking of China, the Winter of Olympics are happening and no one cares. The Olympics have had their ratings fall consistently for the last 20 years. This Olympics is taking it completely in the teeth. NBC’s viewership is down 69% from the Summer Olympics of last year and are at the lowest in Olympic history.

That’s just awesome. I know I’m not watching this propaganda event.

Some of the media is also questioning why the Olympics are being held there at all. The New York Times, which has been pretty critical of China. They complained that Beijing doesn’t have any actual snow. It’s kind of like Los Angeles in the winter. All the competitions in the Winter Olympics are being held on man-made snow. Of course, The New York Times bitched that man-made snow was bad for climate change. The question I would have asked is why the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would hold the Winter Olympics in a place that doesn’t have any snow.

Pictures are also coming out of China. There is one picture that shows what looks like the ski jump venue. The venue is nice but the surrounding area is a hellscape. Grey buildings, a nuclear power plant and a dirty city in the background.

I am sure we are going to have a lot of stories about China when the athletes return to their countries (though we are getting a lot of information now).

But it is also the tyranny.

On live television, a reporter from, I think, the Netherlands was roughly removed from in front of the televisions camera because he was standing in front of the wrong building. He was asked politely or anything. A police officer grabbed him and shoved him off camera.

Even the propaganda they are pushing is not being embraced. When the Chinese had a Uyghur light the Olympic Caldron, the mainstream media, including CNN, was doubtful that this was anything more than propaganda.

But there is more.

 

Why Didn’t She Say This Before

Nancy Pelosi made the following controversial comments last week:

Some things:

  • Why didn’t she say this before? Why didn’t anyone say this before?
  • Why are our athletes over there?
  • Why is a United States politician, the third most powerful person in the government and in line to be President, showing her fear of the Chinese government?
  • And what would our government do if China did take action against a U.S. athlete who said something China didn’t like?

This is the type of weakness that the Biden administration and the Democrats have shown for China for decades. She is basically saying that our athletes are in danger because of the Chinese government and there is nothing the United States government can do about it.

Well, the horrors of the Chinese government are coming out and it has only been a couple of days since the opening ceremonies.

Russian biathlete, Valeria Vasnetsova, was put into isolation because of COVID. She complained about the food being awful and there being no way she could train. She also released a picture of her meals that she received three times a day,

The meals were made up of a raw chicken breast, plain noodles, some red sauce of some kind, four or five small potatoes and charred meat of some kind.

She had lost a lot of weight and, of course, she lost her ability to compete.

She said:

“[M]y bones are already sticking out,” the Olympian said. Vasnetsova said she had survived on the small pasta serving for several days because it was “impossible” to eat the rest of the food, “but today I ate all the fat they serve instead of meat because I was very hungry.”

Eventually, the Russian government complained enough that the Chinese started to give her real food while she was confined.

Another athlete, Belgium Kim Meylemans, also has a nightmare story. She was confined for 14 days because of the China virus, all alone. When she was released, she was put in a van. She thought she was going back to the Olympic village. Nope. She was being transferred to another containment facility.

Here she is, in tears on Instagram, distraught that she was being put away again for an additional 7 days:

So, why is China doing this? Remember, they are saying that they only had 5,500 deaths due to their virus. They shouldn’t have any issues with the virus since the handled it so beautifully.

There are three reasons:

  • They lied. The virus is still an issue and they did not have 5,500 deaths. They probably had hundreds of thousands of deaths. We already have pictures of the urns of the dead from the China virus and it’s more than 5,500.
  • They want to manipulate the games. All their COVID requirements were to mess with the athletes’ training regimen. They want the most medals and they will do anything to achieve that goal.
  • Finally, the China virus is just the excuse they are using for pushing their tyranny.

 

The Media Pushes the Propaganda

The media shows us that they have a very unhealthy respect and love for China. Now, to be clear, most of the mainstream media thinks this Olympics is just a Chinese propaganda scheme. China has been criticized by Leftist news organizations like CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times. So China is not completely getting a free pass.

But here is NBC, who is televising the games, during the opening ceremonies:

Is this guy kidding?

They have concentration camps where they are systematically committing geocide. They imprison people for saying things they don’t like. They disappear people. They had a one-child policy that forced abortions and sterilization.

And let’s not over appreciate what China is doing in other countries. They are doing this for a reason. They will help no country without getting something in return. Either money, land, resources or influence. They are an example of the colonial empire that Leftists accuse the United States of doing.

I can kind of understand why NBC is doing this. They paid a ton of money into getting the rights to the Olympics and they want to shine a light on China to try to take the stain away from the games. But ESPN, a sports network owned by ABC doesn’t have that kind of excuse (well, ABC is owned by Disney). ESPN is suppose to be only about sports though that has eroded over the years. Here the are on a show called Around the Horn:

That’s right! The United States is just as bad as a country that is systemically killing people in concentration camps because people in Georgia need to show an ID to vote.

Simply disgusting.
