“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

There’s a new bank regulation to bar discrimination in lending. The Biden administration will likely overturn it

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 24, 2021

Biden will give banks a license to discriminate.

Remember when it was the Left that wanted to regulate banks and prevent discrimination in lending? Now, the tables are turned.

The Trump administration issued a recent regulation aimed at limiting banks’ ability to cut off borrowers simply because they don’t like what the borrowers do. The banks obviously don’t like this rule, but neither do liberal activists. I expect the Biden administration will overturn Trump’s rule and free banks up to decide which proverbial cakes they won’t bake. To put it another way, Biden will give banks a license to discriminate.

Democrats’ 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill mandated “fair access to financial services and fair treatment of customers” and left it to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to implement that mandate. The Obama administration issued its own rules, and now, the outgoing Trump administration is beefing those rules up.
