We will put aside, for now, that gun control has been empirically proven not to work in countless Democrat-controlled cities that have enacted stringent gun control measures only to see their murder and gun violence rate stay at, or skyrocket to, stratospheric levels.
The main demarcation point today in Richmond is just how much will a society of free people tolerate? When will they decide they have had enough?
Democrats and the Far-Left know that making a wave of fake news and sensational over-reactions will only garner them temporary controversy but after the media cycle moves on they will have another gun control win to notch on their belts.
Conservatives and the GOP generally believe that the right to own guns is a constitutionally guaranteed inalienable right and the leftist attempt to curtail it, if not end it, should be opposed with much vigor.

Both sides face each other in Richmond today. Both sides cannot win.
Governor Ralph Northam (D) has taken extraordinary and overbearing steps to clamp down on those assembling to oppose him.
First, he declared a state of emergency and banned guns from a gun-rights rally.
Then he erected fencing around the rally area to enclose citizens there to oppose him like so much cattle.
He has hinted at even more measures should, by his own definition, the rally get out of hand.
But it’s not by the hand of gun rights supporters any turmoil is liable to ensue.

Rumors swirl in Richmond today of scores of Antifa and other leftist groups who will infiltrate the rally posing as gun rights supporters.
They will supposedly pick fights with their own actual supporters to highlight the alleged violent tendencies of gun rights advocates and give these patriots a PR and media black eye.
The Dems and Northam would like nothing better than to portray them that way, casting themselves as the voice of peaceful moderation on MLK Day.

And the New York Times wants them both ( ? )
to be the Democratic nominee for president .

Trump stood for about 30 seconds at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington this afternoon. He didn't say anything. He got some cheers, a "USA" chant and some boos from people nearby. — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) January 20, 2020
The announced trip was just a few hours before Trump is set to depart the White House for a planned trip to Davos, Switzerland, where he’ll be attending the World Economic Forum.
Earlier Monday, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway told reporters in the briefing room that Trump, “agrees with many of the things that Dr. Martin Luther King stood for and agreed with for many years, including unity and equality.”
Conway also suggested Martin Luther King Jr. would have opposed Trump’s impeachment, according to The Hill.
“When you see the articles of impeachment that came out, I don’t think it was within Dr. King’s vision to have Americans dragged through a process where the President is not going to be removed from office, is not being charged with bribery, extortion, high crimes or misdemeanors,” she said.

“A mixture of cheers and boos greeted President Trump and Vice President Pence as they arrived at the MLK Memorial at around 4:33 p.m.”
As Trump and Pence approached the memorial he smiled and waved at the crowd that had gathered. Both the President and Vice President stood at the base of the MLK sculpture for a minute with their heads bowed.

Some members of the crowd chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!”, while a few delivered sustained boos.
As we reported earlier, this day has been an occasion for cringeworthy editorials from the Left. Now they shamelessly boo a duly elected President on the hallowed ground. They criticize America, Trump, and of course conservatives, for the alleged continued oppression of black citizens and hold up an unrealistic racial utopia as the national goal.
While it is wonderful to have a day to honor Dr. King, it is somewhat ironic that a day honoring a man who preached racial harmony, who said in his most famous speech that he dreamed of a day when people would be judged on their character, not the color of their skin, is filled with such vitriol.

Speaking to Vice News , former Vice President Joe Biden said that drunk driving illegal aliens should not be deported by ICE .
Biden told Vice that he would “ hold ICE agents accountable if in fact they stepped over my executive orders , which is no arrests of anyone outside of the schools.
” He said that Latino and Hispanic children are under “ incredible pressure ” from the concern of the fact that their parents could be deported at any time .
“ They go off to school , wondering whether when mom comes and picks them up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there because an ICE agent was there to arrest her ?
Or when she takes them to the doctor , is she not going to be there because she is quote undocumented and an ICE against is going to pick them up , ” Biden explained .
Vice asked Biden how he was supposed to change the culture within ICE , and he responded that the easiest way to simply threaten firing any agent who dared to arrest any illegal alien for anything other than a felony .
“ You only arrest for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s committed , and I don ’ t consider drunk-driving as a felony , ” Biden said .

In an upcoming interview on CBS Evening News , House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff states that calling Hunter Biden as a witness during the impeachment trial would be an “ abuse ” of the proceedings .
Schiff conceded that it would be fair for President Trump ’ s defense team to call witnesses , but Biden , son of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden , would be off-limits and an “ illegitimate ” selection .
“ It would not be appropriate for the president to seek to call witnesses merely to try to perpetuate the same smear campaign that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” the California Democrat told CBS .
Schiff then pressured Supreme Court Chief Justice John Robert to rule against calling Hunter as a witness .
“ That ’ s an illegitimate abuse of the trial , ” he claimed .
“ And the chief justice , who may have an opportunity to rule on materiality of witnesses , as well as the senators , should not permit that kind of abuse.
” Republicans Want Him to Testify Joe and Hunter Biden are at the crux of the entire impeachment scam , contrary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to believe .
The process began due to a phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky – a phone call that transcripts and Zelensy himself have revealed was a “ good phone call , ” adding that “ nobody push [ ed ] me ” to investigate Joe or Hunter .
It was a phone call that prompted a whistleblower who is a registered Democrat and worked with former Vice President Biden to report his concerns .
Was he more concerned about Trump ’ s alleged pressure on Ukraine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ son ?
Republican Senator Rand Paul is looking forward to seeing Hunter Biden as a witness .
“ My [ Democrat ] colleagues can ’ t have it both ways .

“ If we are going to give a platform to witnesses the Dems demand , I look forward to forcing votes to call Hunter Biden and many more !
” Senator Paul has explained that he ’ d like to see Biden testify since the whistleblower was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Joe Biden at the same time Hunter Biden was receiving $ 50,000 per month.
” Perhaps Schiff ’ s insistence that Senate Republicans calling witnesses they ’ d like to hear from is more self-preservation on his part .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-01-21--Elizabeth Warren’s Son-in-Law Made Movie Funded By Iran’s Government

The son-in-law of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has troubling ties to Iran ’ s government , according to a new book .
“ Profiles in Corruption ” by Peter Schweizer analyzes liberal leaders ’ little-known links to various forms of corruption , in both the public and private sectors .
In his chapter on Elizabeth Warren , Schweizer looks at the business dealings of Warren ’ s son-in-law Sushil Tyagi .
Tyagi is married to Warren ’ s daughter Amelia .
He was born in India , then moved to the United States .
He met Amelia when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Warren is reportedly close to her son-in-law .
Warren attended Tyagi ’ s brother ’ s wedding in India and wrote about the experience in her memoir .
Since becoming part of the Warren family , Tyagi “ has been involved in a series of curious—even troubling—business ventures around the world , ” Schweizer writes .
Breitbart reports , “ Tyagi runs Tricolor Films , and in 2008 , produced a film called The Song of Sparrows , directed by Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi.
” “ The film was described as Majidi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is about a man who is fired from his job on an ostrich farm , moves to the big city and becomes a motorcycle taxi driver , and soon becomes consumed with his passengers ’ lives and is swept up in a world of greed , ” Breitbart notes .
“ It is his family that help him restore his ‘ caring and generous nature , ’ according to a film synopsis.
” In a New York Times story , Tyagi was listed as the film ’ s sole producer , though those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ page ’ s archive revealed that the film “ was funded by the Iranian government agency that is overseen by Iranian propagandists.
” Schweizer writes , “ The full credits of the film , for some reason , seem to also have been scrubbed from the internet .
We obtained a copy by using the Wayback machine and made a startling discovery : the movie ’ s chief investors included none other than the social deputy of the State Welfare Organization ( SWO ) of Iran ( SWO- “ معاونت اجتماعی سازمان بهزیستی @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran .
( “ سازمان فرهنگی و هنری شهرداری تهران ” ) ” “ These two investors in the film might appear at first glance to be innocuous cultural organizations—but they are not .
Both are funded and controlled by the Islamist Iranian government , ” Schweizer noted .
“ The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran states : ‘ This organization was founded in 1996 and [ does ] its activities under the supervision of a board of trustees composed of various cultural institutions such as IRIB @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Was Produced When U.S.-Iran Tensions Were High “ The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran ’ s page promotes cultural events such as one for school children entitled ‘ The Seal of Hostages , ’ attended by several top Iranian officials , according to the book , ” Schweizer finished .
The film was produced during a time the U.S. government had accused Iran of helping kill five Iraq-based American soldiers , and then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was repeatedly calling the US a “ satanic power.
” What does this say , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Perhaps more pertinent , might this affect the direction of Elizabeth Warren ’ s current bid for the White House ?
With her poll numbers already declining , it probably will matter .

Tyagi’s Film ‘The Song of Sparrows’
Since becoming part of the Warren family, Tyagi “has been involved in a series of curious—even troubling—business ventures around the world,” Schweizer writes.
Breitbart reports, “Tyagi runs Tricolor Films, and in 2008, produced a film called The Song of Sparrows, directed by Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi.”
“The film was described as Majidi’s ‘most religious’ and is about a man who is fired from his job on an ostrich farm, moves to the big city and becomes a motorcycle taxi driver, and soon becomes consumed with his passengers’ lives and is swept up in a world of greed,” Breitbart notes. “It is his family that help him restore his ‘caring and generous nature,’ according to a film synopsis.”

The Film Was Produced When U.S.-Iran Tensions Were High
“The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran’s page promotes cultural events such as one for school children entitled ‘The Seal of Hostages,’ attended by several top Iranian officials, according to the book,” Schweizer finished.

A new Iowa poll indicates Warren will be hurt by Iowa's 15% threshold. Hence, she needs to take supporters from another leading candidate. The leading candidate whose supporters appears the most gettable? Bernie Sanders's.https://t.co/Z1o6OmPA4a — Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) January 14, 2020

When it comes to the 2nd Amendment and the potential to violate it, it’s not unusual for sheriff’s departments to step forward and reassure citizens that if state or federal governments undermine citizens’ constitutional rights through unconstitutional legislation, law enforcement will not enforce those particular laws.
Colorado Sheriff Steve Reams of Weld County last April assured citizens that he would go to jail himself before he would violate their constitutional rights. Colorado was also moving toward gun confiscation at the time via “Red Flag Laws” and local authorities took a stand against it.

Law Enforcement Should Be Commended for Putting People Before Politicians
Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge did the same thing, saying, “We’re putting a line in the sand for what we believe right now is support (for) constitutional laws.”
It is not unusual for local authorities to be the line between their constituents and overreaching government. Elected sheriffs are often the frontline against any unlawful encroachment on people’s rights by reckless political leaders.
Grayson County Sheriff Richard Vaughan should be saluted for standing up for the rule of law, as should any other police officer who takes the same honorable path.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-01-21--Hillary Slams Bernie: ‘Nobody Likes Him’ and His Supporters are Misogynists

In a new documentary about her career , two-time presidential failure Hillary Clinton unloads on Bernie Sanders claiming “ nobody likes him ” and attacking his supporters as misogynists .
In the series , titled ‘ Hillary ’ and set to premiere on Hulu in March , Mrs. Clinton unleashes a torrent of what The Hollywood Reporter ( THR ) describes as “ not-so-fuzzy feelings ” about the Vermont senator .
“ He was in Congress for years .
He had one senator support him .
Nobody likes him , nobody wants to work with him , he got nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He was a career politician .
It ’ s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.
” THR , for their interview with Clinton , asks if all of these descriptions of Sanders still stand .
Still clearly upset with Bernie for not withdrawing from the 2016 primary and , in her mind , costing her the general election , Hillary then pivots to claims by Elizabeth Warren ’ s camp that Sanders insinuated a woman can ’ t capture the White House .
Sanders allegedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , said : “ He did not believe a woman could win.
” “ I think [ that sentiment ] is untrue , which we should all say loudly , ” Clinton said .
“ I mean , I did get more votes both in the primary , by about 4 million , and in the general election , by about 3 million.
” To be fair , the 2016 primary was thoroughly rigged in her favor , from superdelegates to reporters giving her debate questions in advance .
“ He said I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her complaint .
“ I had a lot more experience than he did , and got a lot more done than he had , but that was his attack on me.
” She suggested Bernie ’ s camp has a pattern of going after women noting the “ Bernie Bros ” online attacks directed at his competitors , “ particularly the women.
” The bad blood between Sanders and his followers and Clinton and her minions has been ongoing for years now .
A spokesman for Sanders ’ campaign in 2016 last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total ingrates ” and “ some of the biggest a**holes in American politics.
” While Bernie was willing to swallow his pride and try to drag Hillary over the finish line against President Trump , the former First Lady indicates she might not be willing to do the same for him .
“ I ’ m not going to go there yet , ” she told THR when asked if she would endorse Sanders if he wins the nomination .
“ We ’ re still in a very vigorous primary season.
” In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What Happened , Clinton claimed Bernie had no argument against her as President so “ he had to resort to innuendo and impugning my character.
” That implies she had any character left to impugn .
Continuing to attack the man who she stole the primary from in 2016 seems to suggest she does not .
