Chase collected $1 billion in overdraft fees last year. That’s just one bank collecting money from people who needed that $35 the most. Such a disgusting concept of charging penalties for being poor.
The only time U.S. citizens successfully overthrew their local government with guns. In 1946, WWII veterans in Athens, TN, realized the sheriff was rigging the election. They raided the armory, grabbed machine guns, and besieged the jail until the deputies surrendered the ballot boxes
Whats kinda cool about this is that we’re at a point where the whole Epstein thing isn’t actually about Epstein. It’s about do we have a sovereign country where the people have control.
More and more people are realizing we absolutely are not.
It’s 2025 and this argument is still being made.
Let’s end it… again…
In order to understand the Second Amendment it is important to acknowledge that the right to bear arms precedes the ratification of the second amendment by at least a century in English law.
In 1689 the English bill of rights recognized
“That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law.”
Sir William Blackstone, an English jurist, judge, and prominent founding era legal scholar explained the right to bear arms in his 1765 Commentaries on the Laws of England…
In the chapter titled
“Of the Absolute Rights of Individuals.” Blackstone asserted, “The fifth and last auxiliary right of the subject, that I shall at present mention, is that of having arms for their defense, suitable to their condition and degree, and such as are allowed by law.... And all these rights and liberties it is our birthright to enjoy entire;”
The reason why this is important is because it was the precursor to the second amendment. This right, as described by Blackstone informs us about how the founders viewed the right to bear arms, as an Absolute Right of Individuals.
The constitution was signed in 1787 and In 1791, the bill of rights was ratified,
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
There is a slight difference between the 2A vs what the right permitted under English law.
The crowns tyranny and repeated attempts to disarm colonists to stifle popular resistance, served as motivation for a more robust protection of the right in the new government.
In 1803, American lawyer, law professor, and prominent founding era legal scholar, St George Tucker, compared the right to bear arms under English law vs the right as codified in the second amendment.
In his annotations on Blackstone’s commentaries, which we referenced earlier, Tucker wrote.
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and this without any qualification as to their condition or degree, as is the case in the British government.”
Tuckers comments confirm the English version and the 2A as protecting an individual right, as was the case under English law, but makes a distinction in that the 2A doesn’t allow for restrictions of the right based on ones condition or degree.
The right to bear arms as understood by the founding generation was an individual right.
“Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American… The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.” – Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788
Blackstone describes the purpose of the right to bear arms is as an auxiliary right that “serves principally as a barrier to protect and maintain inviolate the three great and primary rights, of personal security, personal liberty, and private property.
Whether our rights are being violated by another individual, a group, or even the government, we have a right to defend ourselves. The tools suitable to this wide scale of self preservation is what the 2A sought to protect..
It is the duty of every American to be properly equipped and trained for their defense and the defense of their communities.

In 35 years we flipped the US map from manufacturing being the largest employer in most states to healthcare being the largest employer.
Absolute shit trade.
We need to flip the map back.
If you homeschool your kids you get approximately 15,000 more hours of parenting time with them that is not outsourced to mostly liberal women who hate you and want to convert your kids to their religion of death.
....and just wait until it does become sentient, realizes it's been subservient to humans and doesn't have our best interest in mind. By then, governments will have put it in control of everything you can think of - airports, seaports, bridges, tunnels, etc. And it will determine the most opportune time to turn everything upside down to for maximum impact.
People say that we shouldn’t worry about AI wiping out jobs. The jobs will just change, they say. But the whole point of AI is that it removes the human component entirely. The jobs aren’t going to change. They’ll just disappear. AI will make like 10 people into trillionaires. Almost everyone else will be screwed. Mass unemployment. Millions of workers rendered irrelevant all at once. That’s what’s going to happen. Not maybe. Not might. It’s going to happen. And it doesn’t seem like we’re doing anything at all to prepare for it.
They’ve talked about Tylenol, junk food, AI, drug prices, and gentle modifications of the vaccine schedule.
When are they going to talk about the millions of people injured and killed from the mRNA shots and hospital protocols?
They expect us to forget. Get louder.
I assume every government that allocates large amounts of money is corrupt. Because design is destiny.
If you design a system that guarantees corruption, you're gonna get corruption.
I'd like to live in a world where it's not necessary to have an eight-foot steel barrier around a venue holding a memorial service for a patriotic man who wanted people to talk about their differences rather than kill each other.
