Op-ed:

The Police, Gun Control, and Constitutional Carry

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

This an opinion piece, my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com.

Last Saturday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott asked his state's “Board of Pardons and Paroles” to pardon and expedite said pardon in regard to Army Sgt. Daniel Perry. Convicted of murder and facing life in prison, Sgt. Perry shot 28-year old Black Lives Matter protester Garret Foster, during a July 25, 2020 anti-police protest following George Floyd's death. The protester, who pointed an AK-47 at Perry who was driving his vehicle as an Uber on the night in question, was simply trying to maneuver to safety through a crowd of violent BLM protesters when Foster pointed said AK-47 into the open window of Perry's car ready to pull the trigger. Perry, who admitted at trial that he shot Foster with his .357 revolver, obviously fearing for his life, and in self defense responded by opening fire and killing the rioting thug...and rightfully so under the Texas's “Stand Your Ground” law. After all, armed and anything but peaceful protesters blocking a major street and pointing guns at cars simply trying to get through, in actuality constitutes a riot.

Simply, self defense is not and must never be considered murder no matter what the jury or this Soros backed prosecutor say...a prosecutor who has a radical leftist agenda of his own to push forward...an agenda that has nothing to do with justice at all. And besides, taking out the garbage...as in a violent and armed BLM thug...in my opinion is doing Texas citizens a public service.

Also, a few weeks ago in California, a suspect who was a known gang member...a man with a $1 million warrant out for his arrest...a man with a long and extensive criminal record who was just released from prison late last year...was now wanted for both murder and attempted murder. Able to flee from police after being cornered, a chase ensued along with orders being given for the suspect to surrender. But not only did said suspect fail to comply, but he then physically attacked a female South Gate police officer, punched her in the face, and tried to disarm her where at this point the officer...who heroically would not let go of her weapon...fatally shot the suspect two times, and who died of his wounds on scene. And surprising it was not...this happened in California after all...but this man was yet another convicted felon with a gun...a gun wrongfully gotten but thankfully being recovered on scene, thus no charges should be leveled against the officer as this indeed was a justifiable “take down.”

 

And as with the armed BLM protester, this piece of garbage who would surely have killed said officer if given the chance, saved California taxpayers huge sums of money on both a trial and his what should be decades long incarceration. But reality being what it is, and with California DA's being some of the most liberal in the country, said suspect, if caught, would probably have gotten away with but a slap on the wrist, if even that.

And then last Monday, former intern and now full-time associate and portfolio banker Connor Sturgeon, age 25, casually walked into the Old National Bank in Louisville, Kentucky and killed five people (with one dying of their wounds in hospital)...including both a police officer and two close friends of Kentucky's Gov. Andy Beshear...and injured nine others. And why...simply because he had recently been told that he was being “let go.” Thankfully, this but yet another, in my opinion, piece of human garbage died in a shootout with police...police who arrived on scene within 3-minutes of receiving the call that a shooting was in progress at the bank.

But instead of focusing on the victims and the lives the police action saved, liberal media news sites instead kept pointing out that Kentucky is one of 26 states that allow “permit less” carry of firearms for “eligible” adults”...“eligible” as in non-felony convicted adults. In fact, Kentucky passed a law back in 2019 that removed the provisions that mandated state gun owners pass a background check if they were going to “conceal carry” a firearm. Simply, in Kentucky, as per the law, most adults over 21 can purchase and carry a firearm and take said firearm to most places in the state without a license. Too bad no one in the bank that day was “carrying”...more lives probably would have been saved and injuries prevented even before the police arrived on scene.

So here we have three cases of “good guys” with guns taking out “bad guys” with guns, but in the Texas case the “good guy” Army Sgt. Daniel Perry, was deemed to be the “bad guy.” And why...because prosecutors said Perry had plenty of choices, including driving away, but instead chose to fire his legally purchased revolver no matter that  Garrett Foster approached him and pointed an AK-47 rifle directly into his car...an assault weapon more deadly than any revolver will ever be.

Excuses again being made for a perpetrator's actions...excuses made by prosecutors who align with the left as the perpetrator becomes the victim and the true victim morphs into the perp.

And here I must thank our great Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for on July 1st, permit less “concealed carry”...aka “Constitutional Carry”...goes into effect...giving new meaning to the old adage “behind every blade of grass.” And while the great state of Texas allows “open carry”...no concealing of firearms is necessary...I actually believe that concealing one's firearm is better. Why so...because the “bad guys” won't know who other than the police might have a firearm on their person which in itself might lead to reduced crime numbers for even the “bad guys” don't want to be blown away by their would be victims.

And here's something to now think about...for better or worse. What would happen to crime numbers if all of America's police went “plain clothes”...would those out to do harm be forced to think twice about their actions not knowing who would be their victim and who could take them down...a strong possibility indeed.

But at this point I think the best we can hope for is that more states amend whatever gun laws they have in place and adopt into law “Constitutional Carry.” Why so...because the firearm haters and misguided gun control loons see no sign of abating any time soon. And while the anti-gun numbers remain basically unchanged over these past few years, those who still cannot accept the reality that “guns don't kill people, people kill people,” seem to be more vocal than ever. In fact, the blame game once again has fallen on Republicans whom Biden blames for the recent increase in gun violence. “Once again, our nation mourns after a senseless act of gun violence,” he tweeted after the Kentucky shooting adding that, “Jill and I pray for the lives lost and impacted by today's shooting. Too many Americans are paying for the price of inaction with their lives...when will Republicans in Congress act to protect our communities?”

But the truth remains...whether Biden and crew like it or not..that more gun violence, that more are killed by Democrats on the Democrats watch both in states and cities they control, than it does when Republicans are in charge. After all, left leaning district attorney's more times than not refuse to prosecute let alone charge those who have been arrested time and time again.

In fact, prior to the Kentucky bank shooting, in the first 3-1/2 months of this year alone, there were at least 145 mass shootings here in the U.S. with many committed by so-called “career criminals” whose previous sentences were barely served. And this is according to data from the “Gun Violence Archive,” who defines a “mass shooting” as one in which at least four people are shot and killed, excluding the shooter. And in Democratic cities and states...both having the strictest gun laws...sees them having the highest murder rates and shootings in the U.S. proving that “gun control doesn't work.”

And why...because gun control has been tried before and in a word, “failed.” For example, after the recent school shooting at The Nashville Covenant School, Biden put pressure on Congress to look at imposing a ban on what's called “assault weapons”...weapons that were legally purchased and used during the Covenant School attack. In fact, Biden actually pleaded with Congress to act saying that, “Why in God’s name do we allow these weapons of war on our streets and at our schools?” Simple answer...we don't...but the fact sadly remains that those hell bent on committing such atrocities will always find a way to secure such weapons, and more times than not secure them via criminal means than by legally purchasing them.

And the fact is that mass murders rose in number even after a 1994 federal assault weapons ban became part of the, “Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.” And why...because said ban was limited in scope pertaining only to certain categories of semiautomatic weapons alone, including, but not limited to, AR-15s. Also, the “Act“ applied only to purchases done after the “Act” was signed into law, thus allowing folks to keep such weapons purchased before its implementation date went into effect. And while the law as passed included a “sunset provision“ ...which allowed the ban to expire in 2004... the murder rate itself did not go down nor did the number of mass shootings even with said “Act“ in place.

Why so? While some claim that even with a fair amount of gun control laws already in place that certain key factors contribute to the current rise in both murder rates and mass shootings...especially in workplace shootings. And it's things like domestic violence; political and religious extremism; undiagnosed and/or untreated mental illness; overly lenient laws regarding the purchase of firearms; along with the rise in color-based hate groups that these folks use as excuses. But the simple fact is that those determined to commit murder, for whatever reason, don't give a damn about old let alone newly proposed gun control laws and never will, rendering excuses made but fodder for the gullible and Second Amendment haters alone.

Simply, gun control laws never stopped and will never stop anyone set on killing for all said laws do is test the will of the killer by turning the act of killing itself into a challenge of sorts that too many are willing to gamble their own life upon...a truly warped game of “Russian Roulette” if you will. Better to live in the annals of infamy than to die a nobody...so believes many twisted minds...minds solely focused on completing their self-anointed mission. And it's this very thing that the left side of the political aisle along with the anti-gun sorts refuse to see let alone accept as fact.

And until these folks do...until those relishing in what is actually a form of blindfolded justice...until families act on the warning signs many killers taunt their family and friends with before they commit unspeakable acts...the number of mass shootings of innocents and murders in general will continue to rise. And it's the “good guys” with guns... meaning the police...who will be the one's left to shoulder the blame and have to answer for the “take down” of folks who in reality are simply better off dead. Harsh words I know, but reality and truth often does tend to be unkind. Case closed.

Op-ed:

Trump's Last Two Stands                                                                        By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio

“Our job is to make sure that the Constitution is followed and that every vote counts. In this case I am not sure every vote was counted, not in the right way.” -Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton

Here's a scary thought folks and it comes directly from the U.S. Constitution. Following the January 23, 1933 ratification of the Twentieth Amendment that set January 20th as Inauguration Day with the then current president and vice-president’s terms ending at precisely 12 noon, if at that time there is no final result in the presidential race, the Speaker of the House, as in Nancy Pelosi, would become the acting president of these United States until said race was officially decided, called, and certified.

And with that being said we must now take a deep breath and also remember never to underestimate President Donald J. Trump or his legal team for time and again both have proven that what was once thought impossible is indeed possible. And here I'm speaking of an eleventh hour possibility of a second Trump presidential term, but it's a term that will have to come either via the Electoral College or the U.S. Supreme Court... or more likely via a combination of both. That will be explained in a bit.

So while President Trump recently stated that he would accept and only then concede defeat if media anointed president-elect Joe Biden were to attain the must have 270 electoral votes, don't just assume that Biden will necessarily reach that magic 270 number when the 538 Electoral College delegates meet next Monday, December 14th to cast those all-important votes even though this past Tuesday the Supreme Court rejected a Republican appeal to undo the certification of Pennsylvania's election results. "The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied," were the court's order...an order which did not comment further or suggest any dissent among the court's nine justices. But note that the denial only pertains to the "emergency" injunctive relief suit, it does NOT deny Rep. Mike Kelly's original voter fraud case itself, a case which is still pending before High Court.

So while the Electoral College option for a President Trump victory technically still remains somewhat feasible...albeit it's a slim chance on its own at best...a new case now on the SCOTUS emergency docket...a case out of Texas...might just be the checkmate move we've been waiting for. But before we delve into that case from Texas, first let's revisit the Electoral College for just a bit. In Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution we find that it's the Electoral College who is the actual determiner of who wins the presidential election meaning that when one goes to the polls to vote for and hopefully help elect their presidential candidate of choice, what one is really doing is voting for a particular slate of electors who then cast their ballots for president and vice president.

Now here note that while said electors...who are actually appointed delegates...have technically “pledged to vote” for the candidate who received the most votes in their state (as in “winner takes all” except for Maine and Nebraska who proportionately allocate their votes), most states do next to nothing to stop their electors from breaking said pledge and voting for the candidate of their choice (hopefully in this case President Trump). And this is no matter that not too long ago the Supreme Court did restrict the power of these what would now be called “faithless electors” by ruling that each state can require its electors to support the winner of their state's popular vote, thus leaving “faithless electors” to face fines along with the possibility of being replaced in 32 of our 50 states.

But with this particular presidential election being the poster child for how to commit and get away with both voter and election fraud, I'm more prone and so very definitely proud to call those who would be “faithless electors” actually “conscientious electors” for they now would become electors who willingly choose to take a stand against overt injustice and cast their ballot not for basement dwelling Joe Biden, but for President Trump even while knowing they might be called to task.

So, if a majority of the current electors in any given state did break ranks by ignoring their “winner takes all” pledge, please know that they would not be the first to do so for the Electoral College has on five different occasions in the past picked a president who garnered fewer popular votes than his opponent. In 1824 the electors chose John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson; in 1876 they chose Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden; in 1888 it was Benjamin Harris over Grover Cleveland; in 2000 their choice was George W. Bush over Al “I invented the Internet” Gore; and thankfully in 2016 they chose Donald J. Trump over the media's anointed, Obama shill, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And know that the information I've cited regarding the Electoral College and its delegates are things one expects would pertain to what is a fair and transparent election not to an election riddled with overt in-your-face fraud...which is unfortunately the hallmark of this 2020 election. And with all the evidence now coming to light regarding fraud having been committed...the Georgia video below shows but one example...means that the laws regarding November's election's integrity have knowingly and willingly been corrupted by those with a decidedly dangerous political agenda...a criminal offense if ever there was one. But until the Department of Justice steps in to do the right thing...and with William Barr as attorney general I would not hold my breath for that...it's up to the Republican majority of state legislatures to ignore their state's “winner take all” pledge and appoint their own electors, which federal law does allow said legislatures to do if their states have “failed to make a definitive choice” by the actual day the Electoral College meets. 

 

And really, how can a “definitive choice” be made when voter fraud investigations are still ongoing, and with the a fore mentioned Texas case now on the High Court docket. Simply, they cannot nor should they be made especially when the only actual Electoral College decision deadline date required by the Constitution itself is the January 20th deadline of 12 noon.

Now as for the Texas case...the real hoped for smoking gun...a case that if the justices do the right thing as per the Constitution...we will rightfully see the election going President Trump's way. And here we first saw a legal brief being filed with the U.S. Supreme Court urging the justices to look into the conduct of the election in Pennsylvania where their state court ignored the Constitution in regards to the conduct of the election. In fact, Article 1, Section 4, of the Constitution states that, “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature …” means that the power for the conduct of federal elections is held by the State Legislatures in each state, but that in states like Pennsylvania and the other battleground states, the judicial branch, as per the brief, attempted to “seize control of these duties and obligations and to set their own rules,” hence these actions do appear to be unconstitutional. Simply, if such an action is unconstitutional for Pennsylvania it surely is unconstitutional for other states as well.

And so this passed Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton directly petitioned the Supreme Court...as in he filed a lawsuit against the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin... claiming that changes made in these states regarding election procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic actually violated federal law by instituting changes to election policies, whether they be “through executive fiat or friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity.” And Paxton wrote that these changes, which actually do require a state constitutional amendment to authorize said changes, allowed for voter fraud to occur, and thus the High Court should push back the December 14th deadline by which states must appoint their presidential electors.

So here regarding the Electoral College, the Texas case might win where the Pennsylvania case failed.

Also, in this lawsuit Paxton and his attorneys rightfully stated that,“That deadline, however, should not cement a potentially illegitimate election result in the middle of this storm,” to which AG Ken Paxton and the others are most assuredly right. But in more simplistic terms, what the Texas AG rightfully did was ask the Supreme Court to block said battleground states from casting "unlawful and constitutionally tainted votes" when the Electoral College assembles. And this request now ties directly back into what I stated earlier regarding the Electoral College, as this newest lawsuit, if won, will not only affect the Electoral College vote but will decide who really won the 2020 election...which I believe was President Trump.

And to give this lawsuit even more punch, if you will, know that Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and South Dakota (and that number as I go to publication is up to 17 states) have all announced that they will be joining Texas in said lawsuit. And also know that this case cannot and is not being ignored by the SCOTUS because it's a fact that when a state files a lawsuit against another state, said lawsuit, by law, goes straight to the Supreme Court which it now has, and is now on the court's emergency docket. And this is much to the chagrin of Michigan AG Dana Nessel who claimed that Paxton's lawsuit suit was but "a publicity stunt, not a serious legal pleading." Tell that to the Supreme Court Ms. Nessel.

So while the justices set a Thursday deadline for the four battleground states to respond to Paxton's claims, their responding to said claims does not signal the end for the SCOTUS by law must still hear the case, hence it's on their docket. And I wouldn't be surprised if Sen. Ted Cruz is the one to argue the case before the High Court for no one knows the constitutional legalities of the law better than he does.

So now we sit and wait for the Texas case to be heard and for the evidence to be presented. And if the justices do the job the Constitution tasked them with...while most definitely putting partisan politics aside...and if they par down all allegations to simply following the letter of Constitutional law...they will not only rule in Texas' favor, but call to task those who willfully and with malice intended tried to sway what is supposed to be a free and fair election. And for the uninformed and the misinformed this simply means that all legal votes must be and will counted and that all illegal, fraudulent, and unverified votes must be and will be thrown out. And really, isn't that what the Constitution and “We the People” should not only ask for but demand...I would surely hope so. Case closed.
