JD. Please don’t think about leaving California. There is a very solid movement going on here called New California State. You can personally call Paul Preston at 877-828-2753. He is the main person behind this. It is based on the split between Virginia & W. Virginia. It’s completely Constitutional. It has been in process for a few years & is coming close to fruition within months. The website is very interesting & informative but I believe you need to speak to Paul Preston to understand the solidity of it. This is not like all the other attempts to split the state. You will see a tentative map & understand all the work that has gone into it. The website is www.newcaliforniastate.com

Please check it out, call Paul Preston & if possible somehow let me know what you think. I think that you may want to become involved with this once you learn about it.

I sure would like your thoughts on the leaked China audio? Several prominent conservatives have indicated that it's real and includes credible evidence of a China invasion of the USA in the near future. I'm a new follower of your's and would value your discernment on this matter.

As usual JD, you nailed it. GOA (and SAF) are excellent organizations, possibly the last two remaining "no compromise" groups actually accomplishing something positive. I think the NRA is a lost cause. I pray your personal situation requiring you to remain in California resolves soon and you are able to relocate to a state where you won't be taxed to penury. Finally, I pray your voice is heard by an ever increasing audience. America, as a country, remains right of center with outrageous outliers on both sides. We need your common sense (used here in its traditional, Constitutional understanding) voice to be heard.

Excellent article, as always. Yes, we must be vocal and loud.

Taken off MeWe: Service post for all those who are now clamoring for stricter gun laws because of Texas:

"1. The right to defend oneself - if necessary also with the weapon - is THE most elementary human right par excellence. A person who is not granted this most elementary human right is not a human being, but a slave. Every state that denies its citizens this most elementary human right is a totalitarian state of injustice. And for me there are no two opinions about this. (Yes, the FRG is a totalitarian unjust state).

The most elementary human right par excellence, to defend oneself - even with a weapon if necessary - does not include the right to shoot wildly and murder innocent people.

3 The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which gives every free person the right to bear arms, does not exist so that you can shoot your neighbor when he steals your cherries from the tree, but to defend yourself against an encroaching state. That was put into the U.S. Constitution because the U.S. was founded by people who fled encroaching states and wanted to be free.

4. mass shootings in the USA take place exclusively in Gun Free Zones. That is, where guns are banned. For example, in schools. In other words, where a shooter can expect to meet no resistance. That's why mass shootings never take place at gun shows or at the Texas Rodeo, where everyone is armed to the teeth and would shoot down a gunman before he could do any more harm.

5. Criminals are not deterred by gun bans. "Anyone who plans to commit murder, which carries a life sentence or even the death penalty, is not afraid of being charged with unlawful possession of a weapon."

(Quote Rolf Bossi, legendary German criminal defense lawyer, during a personal conversation with me in the mid-1990s at the bar of Cologne's Hyatt Hotel).
