Library porn & how to fight it

We have two Library Boards here in the small City of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. The CdA Public Library and the Community Library Network. We also have a "Constitutional Sheriff", Bob Norris, and the usual assortment of Marxist trash seeking to control all aspects of education. The Marxists have less success here than most other places, one of the big reasons I settled here after Oregon went Full Commie.

One of the usual ways the Marxists establish their beach-head of force used to destroy American Values is via taking over Library Boards, and they have done that here. Americans gained back some ground last election when we removed two Marxists from the Community Library Network's Board, but that's only slowed down the Marxists, not defeated them utterly. At a Town Hall meeting, which the Sheriff holds quarterly, a citizen asked about children's access to books with inappropriate sexual context. Sheriff Norris said he'd look into that, and he did. He visited the Post Falls Community Library and found two inappropriate books there.

Enter the "Yellow" press, or cdapress.com to be exact. They publish this guy's guest op-ed. He outright accuses the Sheriff of theft. I have decided to reply and submitted this letter, not published yet:

Please accept my reply to My Turn writer Lockwood, who writes to accuse Sheriff Norris of theft as he took a pair of books from the library for the purposes of investigation.

 

Mr Lockwood, these books were accessible to children and their express purpose is to TEACH varied sexual practices. I suspect that you believe that expertise in carnal knowlege must be extended to children as soon as they can read.

 

Religion has nothing to do with it, Mr Lockwood. This is about a case which could easily cross the line into child pornography, and it is certainly the Duty of a Sheriff to conduct an investigation to determine if probable cause exists to prosecute for those charges.

 

Indeed, Sheriff Norris would be remiss in his duty by NOT making this investigation. As to you, sir, your zeal in promoting this possible child pornography is very, very telling.

 

Sheriff, wouldn't it be appropriate to issue the Library a Property Inventory Receipt in this case?

 

Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.

 

New month, new prediction

Rabbit-Rabbit.

New month, new hopes, need more work on getting ready. End of first-of-the-month platitudes.

The GOPers backed down, passed a 45-day CR, so no default until the middle of November. GOPer hopefuls are having a good time pretending Trump doesn't matter. There's never been a massive write-in campaign in the history of our Presidential elections, but there might be one next year.

If that campaign were to actually ELECT Trump, but the Dem/Commies denied him his seat, THAT would start Civil War. Bright line there, yes. Time for blather over then, you're going to fight for Trump and your Constitution or you're going to fight for a tyrant to replace that document. I don't see a middle ground, do YOU?

In the meanwhile, look for Blue States to try to lock Trump out by refusing to accept write-in ballots. This will PROVE intent to have Tyranny replace the Constitution.

You read it here first.

Dem/Commies eating their own

New Jersey Senior Senator, Bob Menendez (D), and his wife, Nadine, have been indicted on a five-count New York Federal indictment of bribery and corruption, apparently stemming from him becoming an agent of the Islamic Egyptian Republic.

No tears here. Menendez is a rabid anti-rights pol known for attacking and subverting the Second Amendment. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Now we get to see how the Democrats react, especially how swiftly they act to remove him from the Senate foreign Relations committee, where he is now Chair.

This is a bad one for the Dem/Commies, and it will call for a prompt distraction. That could be some sort of attack on Russia, I notice that their Black Sea Navy HQ was severely damaged in a fire...

Definition of a Sacred Cow in Oregon

The cow has a name: The Oregon Innocence Project. It was the operative push to get the Marion County DA to pronounce the death of Trust in effective jurisprudence in Oregon. I just posted about this case here.

Here is a partial list of supporters of the OIP.

Dire warning: How Criminals go free

Andrew Selsky, an ancient progressive journalist, now writing for AssPress, pens a column about an old black man who got out of prison, never admitting his guilt.

My warning is about the reasoning involved in the decision, and how easy it will be now for Soros-bought Prosecutors to cite this concept, revealed in the money-quote:

"Prosecutors asked the Marion County Circuit Court to dismiss the case, saying the state no longer believes it can prove guilt based on how much time has passed since the murder of Harriet Thompson."

All those polital DAs have to do now is say the testimony available is too weak or indistinct, then they don't have to prosecute. Victims get no day in court.

The way Justice worked before now was on TRUST. The citizenry TRUSTED that the testimony offered in a case was the best available, and when sentence was pronounced after the guilty verdict, the TRUST remained and the perp remained in prison.

Not any more. The Marion County DA's remark signals the death of Trust, and it will never be retrieved in Oregon.

 

 

A very good course to take

Day before yesterday, I took a course to qualify for Idaho's "Enhanced Concealed Weapons" permit.

Idaho is Constitutional Carry now, has been for years, but that's good only for Idaho Citizens who carry in Idaho. I am an Idaho citizen new, have been for 3 years. By getting the Enhanced card, I can now be treated, for concealed carry purposes, in almost every other State which issues permits to their citizens, 39 or 40 of them.

Idaho is very protective of the R2KBA. We are considered the best and most protective State for this purpose of all 50. Blue States hate Idaho for this reason, because it isn't all empty talk. Folks who come to Idaho for anti-R2KBA reason gun-grabs, for example, can and wiill be ARRESTED, since there is a CRIMINAL charge for those who act or conspire against the rights of Idaho citizens. Here's an example, here's another example, in the cases of an Idaho citizen using deadly force in  Idaho. Those are slides from GemState's course, and it's from the part of the course which was presented by a Kootenai County Deputy District Attorney. Note that the citizen is PRESUMED to have acted lawfully!

Idaho has both Stand Your Ground laws and No Duty to Retreat laws.

I saved what should have been first for my killer finish, though. Idaho's very definition of the R2KBA. Note that "infringed" as stated in the Federal 2A is changed to "abridged". Guess why? Commies all over the US of A have been suing for 30-40 years to ESTABLISH INFRINGEMENTS against the Federal R2KBA. That can't happen here, thanks to the use of "abridged", the common meaning of which is "made smaller".

Beto gets the Bum's Rush

Beto the Burglar, perennial unsuccessful candidate for TX Governor, crashed TX Gov. Abbott's presser on the Uvalde mass murder, and got the heave-ho. Good!

Dealing with the Lockdowns - Oregon version

There are two ways for the State Government of Oregon to make a Disaster Declaration. One is in the Oregon Constitution, in Article X, Section A. the other is an ordinary State Law, ORS 401.165, Declaring States of Emergency, referring to COUNTIES asking for this help, but they MUST provide details.

 

Have any of my readers seen those County Requests for Declaration? I haven't.

 

The ORS also says the Governor may declare such an Emergency, but it alludes to there being a requirement for details. I haven't seen Kate's details. Of interest to me would be which "models" or guesses she relied upon to declare the ENTIRE state was in mortal danger from Covid-19.

 

Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20, and now we know that the original models and predictions were HIGHLY inaccurate, as they predicted death at the rate of 3% of population when, in fact, the actual death rate has been TWO-TEN-THOUSANDTHS OF ONE PERCENT.

 

Why will NO ONE of SUBSTANCE front up Governor Brown and ask for or DEMAND the answers to these "pesky details"?

 

Basing a major societal change which tosses constitutions out the window on inaccurate data has been done before, says my History Book.

 

For example, Hitler did it on 9/1/1939 when he invaded Poland and started World War Two in Europe, after declaring that Germans living in the section of Poland known as the Sudetenland were in mortal danger from racist Poles trying to kill them. Now the Democratic Party USA has done it right here, when our gullible President went along with inaccurate data (deliberately inaccurate or just sloppily inaccurate is still to be determined), so our Nation's economy lies in ruins after the two-month shut-down which was not required.

 

My take on all this is that it has now happened to the good old USA and can't be UN-DONE, so we need to bend our backs now, get back to work, rebuild our economic structures and above all, DON'T LET THE SAME CREW COCK IT UP AGAIN!

 

America, put on your working clothes, pick up your lunch pails, and head for your work-place. If the Management is too afraid of the government to re-open, first, tell those caviling wimps that you have their backs, and if they still won't open, kick them to the curb, go into the factory floor and start the production lines YOURSELVES!.

 

We are either the victims of the stupidest move by our governance ever, or we are the victims of a cruel political move to kill freedom. In both cases, the solution is GET BACK TO WORK, AMERICA!

Sunday sadness scribbling

I'm from an old and prolific Portland medical family, & I'm normally highly sympathetic with the medical profession.

 

I've turned, though. The obvious fact is that most doctors have chugged the commie Kool-Aid, and keep chugging it.

 

I profile a lot. I was taught how to do it in the various police academies I attended and in follow-on LEO training courses, plus profiling is just organizing common sense.

 

My main profiling these days is to classify and categorize the political opposition to our Constitutional Republic, but you already know that if you follow me on Facebook or on this Rivrdog Blog.

 

I will now profile the medical profession, and it isn't looking good for them. Here are my profile qualifiers:

1. Do you (choose one) a. Tolerate, b. Support or c. Actively Defend and advocate for Socialized Medicine? (record answer and move on)

2. In your entire office or suite of offices in a medical comples, is there a single US Flag on display? (record answer and move on)

3. If your work is for a health maintenance org claiming a religious afiliation, do you refer low-spirit cases to practitioners of the religion? (record answer and move on)

4. As to Covid-19, do you (choose one): a. Tolerate, b. Support or c. Actively Defend the suppression of alternate views on the USA's response to the disease vector? (record answer and calculate results):

 

Perfect (good) profile (rates Zero)

Item one should be a "no" on any of the three choices.

Item two should be a "yes"

Item three should be a "yes"

Item four should be a "no" on any of the three choices.

 

Here's the bad part: I have two offspring in the medical profession. One rates between 1 and 2, the other between 3 and 4, and they are nowhere as PROFESSIONALLY antagonistic towards the Republic as some other medical providers I've encountered in the past ten years or so.

 

In conclusion, I'm going to put it all together: the two most important professions in this USA are Information movers (newsies, computer gurus, etc) and Medical Providers. Both those professions are badly compromised as to maintaining the health and vibrancy of our Constitution and governance according to it.

 

Looking for what profession DOES unilaterally support our Constitution and governance according to it, I find only Veterans. A few months ago, I would have said Veterans and LEOs (I am retired from both professions), but the LEO profession has guzzled enough commie Kool Aid to remove themselves now as saviors of the American Way, following the Information movers right over the Marxist cliff.

 

Result? Of the 8.5 million Veterans, MAYBE 5 million are fit to fight for this Republic against the communist hordes.

 

Those aren't very good odds.

Blue-State Governors are Tyrants

This post deals with Oregon's Governor, Kate Brown, a democrat/socialist.

Copied from my Facebook post of just now.

Re: Oregon Constitution, Article X, Section 6:

Sorry, Oregonians, court precedent says when Government sets rules of "Sunshine", they must be followed or else all actions taken in the illegal sessions must be considered invalid.

The Governor's Emergency Declaration, which went into effect at midnight March 7th, expired 30 days later. Gauleiter Kate will, of course, claim that the Legislative Emergency Board action to approve an "Extension" gives her authority to continue her Nazi-style lockdown and suspension of personal liberty, but by the clear language of the Article and Section, it does NOT. How the HELL can secret phone "sessions" qualify as "Convening the Legislature", or, for THAT matter, how can a "meeting" of the E-Board qualify for this Constitutional mandate to actually HAVE a REAL SESSION? The Constitution means what it says. This Article & Section can ONLY be met by proper Notice to Speaker & Senate President, who then MUST make the duly-constituted Public announcement, then the Legislators arrive at the place to convene PHYSICALLY, then the Session is called to order. A proper extension of the Governor's Emergency Declaration also involves drafting a Bill for an Act, having it read in the appropriate Committee, voted out of that Committee to the Floor, debated, etc. There is PROCESS, and no amount of "danger" from the disease allows it to be circumvented. If you believe so, YOU may also properly be considered a Tyrant and usurper/destroyer of the Oregon Constitution.

Then there is the matter of the Primacy of the Federal over the State Constitution. The State Constitution clearly says when there is a conflict of Primacy, the Constitution guaranteeing the highest condition of Liberty takes precedence. See Article 1, Section 33.

Is #KillerKate going to argue that she has the power to suspend personal liberties when the Feds interpret THEIR Constitution to say those liberties MUST be preserved? When President Trump says, as he already had, that the States may resume commerce and life, liberty and etc, then Section 33 comes into effect.

If you believe the Governor, you: (1) Haven't READ the Constitutions, and/or (2) do not possess the reasoning power called Logic which is REQUIRED in order to make such interpretations.

That is all. You ARE free to pursue a normal life in Oregon now, and have been for over 21 days. If you decide, as I have, to continue your medical isolation, (I am properly considered "medically fragile") that is now and always was your choice. If you decide to END your medical isolation, THAT is also your choice.

Yes, YOU are FREE to make this choice, and the State is NOT FREE to restrict your right to do so.

BTW, true statistics show that the State's first claim that a "calamity" existed, a claim necessary for perfecting the Emergency Declaration (Article X, Sections (2) & (3), was NEVER TRUE. It just never even slightly approached that level that she claimed after Trump's "Epidemiologist" lied through HIS teeth, and constinues to at this hour. Proper investigation WILL show that high-level objections to "calamity" status were buried on orders of #KorruptKate, I will put $$$ on that...

BTW2: In Oregon, the civil Tort of False Imprisonment usually bring the falsely imprisoned compensation of about $3,000 per day. Multiply that by 4.2 million Oregonians and then by 21 days. My calculator gags on that number, but I believe it is $264.60 times ten to the tenth power. That's how much the State owes it citizens, and I'm going to bet that a class-action claim for this WILL be filed soon. The State's credit rating from Moody's dies on the filing date, and the State goes bankrupt shortly thereafter.

New point to ponder: If all the Blue States have to declare insolvency, how does President Trump deal with that? My guess? He fights their declarations of insolvency by accusing them all of conspiring via the Democratic Party to overthrow the US Government via #ScamDemic. If he can make THAT stick, then RICO the Democratic Party, and they accept blame, THEN he will allow bankruptcy, with conditions. The first condition: No more Democratic Party USA.
