“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.

It’s Time to Go Hogg-Wild at the Democratic National Committee!

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 5, 2025

“This is a new Democratic Party. We’re taking the gloves off,” warned new Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin this weekend, suggesting that the Democratic Party’s deeply disappointing 2024 results were because the party simply hadn’t opposed Donald Trump enough.

A solid majority of the 448 members of the Democratic National Committee elected Martin, the former head of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, to lead them in the second term of Trump. The Democrats also elected 24-year-old David Hogg — yes, that David Hogg — to be one of their three vice chairs.

There are few people more insulated from the consequences of national election wipeouts than the members of the national party committees. After all, for the elected officials in their ranks, these are the lawmakers who won reelection and kept their jobs. Most of them are state party chairmen and presidents of Democratic organizations, who never have to face the public in a general election.
