Chicago Hospital Stops Accepting Gunshot Victims After Trauma Center Overwhelmed
Following 60 shootings in the first 96 hours of August – seven of which were deadly, Chicago’s Mount Sinai Hospital temporarily stopped accepting patients on Sunday because they hit maximum capacity after 17 people were shot between Saturday night and Sunday morning, according to Chicago’s WGN9.
President Trump is due to address the Nation at 10 am today on the mass shootings over the last week. He has hinted that more gun control may be needed. If he proposes any type of gun control today, he loses the election today and we know the path ahead. I will not comply. I will not give up my way of self defense when so many people out there hate me and what I stand for. Men who give up their responsibility to protect themselves, give up their freedom to rule themselves. “The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. … Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” — Thomas Jefferson, “Commonplace Book,” quoting 18th-century criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1774-1776 “To disarm the people … is the most effectual way to enslave them.” — George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania Gov. Sir William Keith, “The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution,” June 14, 1788 “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.” — Noah Webster, “An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution,” Oct. 10, 1787 “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined. … The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” — Patrick Henry, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778 “The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.” — Joseph Story, “Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States,” 1833 “On every occasion (of constitutional interpretation) let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying (to force) what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, (instead let us) conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” — Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, June 12, 1823 There is only one reason people in power wish to disarm citizens. Control and power. In 1929, Stalin took guns away from his citizens, then murdered 20 million of them once defenseless. In 1935, Mao disarmed his citizens and proceeded to murder 20 million people. In 1938, Hitler disarmed his countrymen and proceeded to murder 13 million defenseless citizens. In 1956, Pol Pot took guns away and proceeded to murder 2 million defenseless people. Do you see a pattern here? We do not have the right to bear arms so that we can go hunting for whatever game we wish to hunt. Our forefathers put the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights to fight tyranny. These are dangerous times in America. If you think law-abiding citizens will just freely hand over their weapons, you might want to think again. “Those who fail to remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” The inborn right to self-defense and the ability of the people to maintain individual liberties in the face of tyranny supersedes all other arguments on gun rights. In fact, nothing else matters.
The solution is simple — abolish all gun-free zones.
Most gun grabbers are oblivious to this kind of logic because they are blinded by ideological biases. Some of them, however, understand the truth of this completely, and they don’t care. They are not in the business of saving lives; they are in the business of exploiting death. They want something entirely different from what they claim they want. They are not interested in life; they are interested in control.
Let me put this in the simplest of terms for gun grabbers. You don’t ever get to disarm us. Never.
In order to enforce this gun control dream, you are going to need people with guns to enforce your will. So really you aren’t against guns; you just want who you choose to have guns.
But we really don’t need to have a conversation about our rights to keep and bear arms. They’re rights. There’s nothing to talk about.

I added the image just in case Twitter deletes the tweet. I do not know if this is true (and the added information is just ridiculous) but I am sure that the news cycle will be dominated by these two events. Just in time to relegate the news concerning the soft coup against the President to the trash bin.
Will Michelle Obama crush Trump in 2020 assuming that she is the Democrat/Communist Party candidate? Ignore the fact that she has the same qualifications for this office as her husband. Ignore the fact that she would finish the Obama agenda to destroy the country. Do not ignore the fact that this proposed match-up is proof that there is no voting our way out of this mess that both political parties have created.
The victors write (and erase) history. The War of Northern Aggression is a good example of this in our country. It is unfathomable to me how people today use racism and reparations as a tool to enslave our children. Imagine if we recognized the fact that there are more slaves today than at any point in history. And once recognized, fight slavery so that our children would be truly free. Now imagine if the “church” did their duty to produce moral people so that we would have a moral government as intended.
Then again, reality sets in and I cannot envision a future without CW II. So where does that leave us as our traditions and history are being rewritten as warned below?
What future do you want desperately for our children? The choice is clearly defined by the Communists fighting to overthrow our government.
