Liberals don’t quite know how to process the case of the Indiana “Good Samaritan,” Mr. Elisjsha Dicken. Dicken is the 22-year-old who within 15 seconds landed eight of 10 shots upon the body of a would-be mass shooter at Greenwood Park Mall, an action for which those present, their families, and the local law enforcement were very grateful. “Many more people would have died last night if not for the responsible armed citizen,” said Greenwood Police Chief James Ison. He called Dicken’s actions “nothing short of heroic.” Dicken was legally carrying his weapon under the state’s splendid new “constitutional carry” law.

I'm the uncle and great uncle who has taught many kids in my extended family to shoot over the last 40 years. Several of them have gone into the USMC, two are still in that uniform. Marry into our family and can't shoot? I'll bring you up to speed. Another generation coming, still too young, I hope I can last long enough to teach them.

Had a gun club in my Brooklyn high school. That was 60 years ago. No one was shot.

The distinguished Black economist, Dr. Thomas Sowell, writes of carrying his gun on the subway to school in New York City for his after-school gun club activities. A different era indeed.

My dad taught my twin sister and me how to shoot at a target in our cellar during the winter and in the springtime we would do skeet shooting in the back yard, we were about 6 or 7 years old. This was in MA in the 50's. We would then go to my dad's parents' home in AL to go hunting with our cousins who were also 8 or 9. No parents went with us. No one thought anything about our ages. If you had a gun, you were supposed to get meat for dinner, turkey, deer, rabbits or squirrels. But, you never shot at my granddaddy's bluebirds, for he would whip your hide and take your gun away. That happened to one of my cousins. We were taught at a very young age all the safety rules, no one was ever hurt.

Crime is all around us and creeping into a neighborhood near you. I have friends who are considering buying a gun. Ten years ago, they would have laughed in my face if I encouraged them to buy one.

Since war is universally understood as a military engagement between two opposing nations or groups of nations in alliance with each other, few realize that the United States is already in a war -- a world war. It’s not a shooting war like World War I and World War II (or the Cold War, which we will consider as WW III), but the stakes are just as high and deadly. Waged by globalist elites and marketed under banners such as “the Green New Deal,” “Build Back Better,” and the “Great Reset,” this war is being waged by cabals and organizations both within and from outside our borders.

Police say it took Elisjsha Dicken just 15 seconds to neutralize a man who opened fire on shoppers at an Indiana mall — quick action they believe saved countless lives. "The time lapse between the moment that Jonathan Sapirman exited the restroom and began shooting, and when he was shot by the civilian was only fifteen seconds, not two minutes," Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said Tuesday in a statement. "The surveillance video shows Sapirman exit the restroom at 5:56:48pm. He was neutralized by Dicken at 5:57:03 pm." The statement corrects a previous police timeline in which authorities said the incident lasted two minutes.

Police say the "Good Samaritan" who ended a mass shooting at an Indiana mall by killing the gunman saved lives, noting that it only took two minutes from the time the suspect opened fire until when he was shot. "Many more people would have died last night if not for the responsible armed citizen," Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said during a press conference Monday. The Good Samaritan, who was identified as Elisjsha Dicken, engaged the gunman within two minutes of the start of the shooting Sunday at Greenwood Park Mall. Police said Dicken approached the gunman from a distance and fired 10 rounds

The National Institutes of Health funds China’s biowarfare program in ways similar to shell companies laundering money. It is now an indisputable scientific fact that the COVID-19 virus was created in a laboratory in China and that work was linked to China’s biowarfare program. There is also an abundance of evidence that funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), contributed to that effort and U.S. government officials and members of the scientific community attempted to cover-up the laboratory origin of the COVID-19 virus and their potential complicity in its creation.

Former Disney boss Bob Iger reportedly regrets naming current CEO Bob Chapek as his successor. Calling it one of his "worst business decisions," Iger believes Chapek's contract should not have been renewed amid leading the company into several scandals and political controversies. According to a Business Insider report, Iger began to rethink his decision after stepping down from Disney in 2020, right before the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic hit, realizing the large challenge the company would have to face.

We call it "messaging perfection" when you can cross an invisible line and make several unassailable points that the anti-liberty left can't touch without resorting to childish insults. If you haven't seen the ad, here it is in all its glory: Aside from quibbling over the loading of just 28 rounds into a 30-round magazine and a spotless kitchen that puts us to shame, the advert is perfect in that it takes on the far left's gun confiscation agenda head-on with a bit of history. It's a one-two punch of perfection that inspired YouTuber Johnny B' to say that he laughed until he cried when watching it.

“Infertility: A Diabolical Agenda,” produced by Dr. Andrew Wakefield and Children’s Health Defense, details the World Health Organization’s intentions to produce an anti-fertility vaccine in response to perceived overpopulation, and how such vaccines have been used — without people’s knowledge or consent — since the mid-’90s The WHO has been caught more than once deliberately deceiving women into thinking they were vaccinated against tetanus, when in fact they were being sterilized The film clearly illustrates the depopulation agenda is not a conspiracy theory.

The Maryland State Police saw a spike in interest for concealed carry permits after Gov. Larry Hogan ordered the agency to drop the restriction that applicants show a “good and substantial reason” to carry a pistol.

Most of us would agree with many of the aspects of Western leftists’ utopian objectives: A world at peace, disease, and starvation eradicated, and humanity living in harmony with Mother Nature. It all sounds wonderful, no doubt.

The Army picked General Motors to provide them with a GMC Hummer EV for a test drive as the service looks to fill a requirement for a light- to heavy-duty battery electric vehicle to reduce the military’s reliance on fossil fuels in garrison and in the field. GM’s all-electric pickup-model Hummer features 1,000 horsepower with a 24-module, double-stacked Ultium battery pack. It offers almost 330 miles of combined driving range with its first edition and can go from 0-to-60 mph in as little as 3 seconds, according to the company. “Leveraging GM’s advanced technology, this demonstration will prove to our U.S. Army customer

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for the end of private car ownership in the name of saving the world from climate change by reducing the need for green tech resources. “We need a clean energy revolution, and we need it now,” the WEF begins its article. According to the WEF, critical metals, such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel — all of which are used in “clean energy technologies” — are in short supply. And while the WEF says recycling old tech that uses these metals could lessen the impact of shortages, it’s simply not enough. “The complication is that we do not currently have enough metals in in circulation

Everywhere I go these days, the question I seem to hear most often is, "What’s wrong today? Why the violence, the shootings, the divisions, the vitriol in our nation, our cities, our society?" I’m hardly the only one getting such questions: other spiritual leaders, teachers, politicians, parents and pundits tell me that they ask and get asked the same all the time. I listen intently to the answers given to that plea by so many respected voices in the country. Most will rattle off the usual suspects: it’s the lousy economy, some opine; it’s all the political strife that drives us apart, others might suggest.
