Fantastic Four: Missteps?

Fantastic Four : First Steps is scheduled for a July 25 release and Marvel Studio casting decisions have angered core fans . Casting a female Silver Surfer, and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/ Mr. Fantastic were bad enough. Now comes news the Invisible Girl/Sue Storm Richards will be leading the group, which now has many wondering if the correct title of this film should be Fantastic Four : Missteps?.

This new release will mark the fifth try of getting Marvel’s First Family right. First, there was the low-budget, unreleased Roger Corman version , made simply to retain the rights .

Next, came the Tim Story directed films:Fantastic Four in 2005, followed by a 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer. Then, came the 2015’s Josh Trank-directed dark, body-horror influenced, Fant(4)stic which flopped hard at the box office.

Now, we have the soon to be released 2025 version which Marvel desperately needs to be a home run after two flops this year: Captain America: Brave New World and The Thunderbolts/New Avengers . The latter got pretty decent reviews from critics and the audiences that saw it in the theater, yet it still flopped. Why? Because audiences have lost faith in Marvel because of its obsession with woke storylines and girl bosses.

You would think Marvel/Disney would have learned its lesson with a steady stream of diminished box office returns. With the exception of Deadpool/Wolverine, Spiderman: No Way Home and Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Marvel movies have steadily declined in story quality since embracing woke themes, first with this remarkably eye-rolling scene in Endgame:

This began the shift from engrossing storytelling to virtue-signaling and pandering. And how has that worked for Marvel? You would think after one failure after another, someone higher up in Disney and Marvel would say , “Hey guys, the audience keeps rejecting our message, maybe we should change course?” Instead Marvel’s and Disney’s honchos Kevin Feige and Bob Iger seem to be doubling down.

The Fantastic Four deserve better than this. This quartet created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby ushered in the Marvel Age of Heroes in the 1960’s

Unlike DC’s Justice League of America, the Fantastic Four didn’t just meet to fight a common foe and then part ways. The FF lived together in the same building, sharing a family dynamic where they sometimes bickered or didn’t get along. The Lee/Kirby run on this book was unparalleled in comic history, introducing iconic characters such as the aforementioned Silver Surfer, the Black Panther, Dr. Doom , Galactus, and the Inhumans.

I recently re-read the “Galactus Trilogy” which still holds up nearly 60 years later. I couldn’t resist anger when thinking about Marvel’s decision to lessen Reed Richards’ role :first, by casting beta male Pascal as the stalwart and chiseled leader…

Comic book Reed Richards and Pedro Pascal

and then by making his wife, Sue Richards/ The Invisible Woman as the girl boss leader of the FF.

And what the heck is Marvel thinking by gender swapping the Silver Surfer?The Silver Surfer is Norrin Radd , a man . Period.

I grew up reading the Fantastic Four and it was one of my favorite titles. I was really pulling for this film, willing to give Pedro and the female silver Surfer a chance. However, making Sue the leader , diminishing Ben Grimm/ The Thing (the heart of the FF)and changing Johnny Storm/ The Human Torch from a skirt chaser into a sensitive cuck was the last straw.

I’ m hoping I am wrong about this movie, but I doubt it. Unless I hear positive word of mouth from trusted personal and internet sources, I’m out of this latest FF iteration .

What are your thoughts ? Is this Fantastic Four : Missteps instead of Fantastic Four : First Steps? Will this latest release make the 2005 version (pictured below) look like a classic? Please leave a comment below and please “like” and share this article.

Where are the heroes for boys to emulate?

Marshal Matt Dillon, Captain James T. Kirk, James West, Napoleon Solo, Steve McGarrett, and the Cartwrights, were some of my heroes as a boy. Maybe they were some of yours too if you grew up in my era. But as I survey the current times , I have to ask: Where are the heroes for boys to emulate?

James Arness at Marshal Matt Dillon

As a typical American boy , who still happens to be black, I grew up watching these fictional men of action and no, I did not feel slighted because they didn’t look like me (sorry, liberals). These characters gave kids like me a sense of escapism and,I guess, confidence. Why ? We knew our heroes would win by the end of an episode.

William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk

Kids need that sense of security in their formative years that good always triumphs over evil. Having this innocent certainty informs their worldview and contributes to their sense of right and wrong. This is just as true now as 50-60 years ago.

Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett

Many boys in this era grew up imitating their favorite tv hero. It was nice as a boy or teenager to always have that question in the back of mind: “What would Marshal Dillon do?” “How would Captain Kirk handle this situation?” Maybe it sounds a little funny, but you get the idea.

The message to young boys and men in those older shows was an important one: one man can make a difference. That was true on fictional television and was once widely believed in America.

Robert Vaughn as Napoleon Solo

Prime time tv shows certainly do not feature heroic masculine lead characters, nor any adventurous escapism. Viewers are watching shows featuring “modern” situations, featuring ensemble casts where men are clearly not the masculine archetypes of yesteryear.

In the last 25 years ,the only masculine alpha-males featured as lead protagonists are antiheroes in shows such as Breaking Bad, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, The Sopranos. That’s right , drug dealers, serial killers, outlaw bikers and mafia wise guys: certainly not role models.

What’s the commonality of these antiheroes? That’s right, they’re all white males. Coincidence? You tell me.

Robert Conrad as James West

Since the dawn of time, boys and young men thrilled to epic tales of courage, sacrifice and heroism. The adventures of mythological icons such as Odysseus , Gilgamesh, Hercules, King Arthur were passed down orally from generation to generation. As time passed these chronicles were printed, inspiring the creation of contemporary heroes

Here’s a timeless fact that will always exist despite leftists’ efforts to deny: boys will have to face bullies, fathers sometimes have to spank their sons and men must be ready to defend their families. These were accepted norms in society until leftists changed the meaning of bullies to anyone who criticizes their protected classes .

I never wanted to be that guy saying ” Well , back in my day,” but I guess I have to be. Changing times have always sparked that classic lament, however the era in which we are living is not only different, but an existential threat to America. In the past, there were never forces so rabid in their attacks on masculinity, femininity , the traditional family , timeless values and even truth, as the era we find ourselves in.

So where are the heroes for boys to emulate? Maybe it’s time we stopped sneering at the old ideals and started asking what we lost when we replaced honor with cynicism, discipline with entitlement, and heroism with nihilism. Boys still need to dream, to believe, to emulate men who stand tall in the face of evil and do what’s right simply because it’s right. If our culture won’t provide them with such examples, then it’s up to us—to fathers, mentors, teachers, and yes, even storytellers—to revive those stories and reintroduce a new generation to timeless truths. Because in the end, a nation without heroes is a nation without a future.

Reagan on tariffs

A friend sent me a Facebook post about Ronald Reagan on tariffs. Perhaps you watched it, or maybe this will be your first view.

Anyway, here you go:

Obviously, the left sharing this video of a Reagan weekly radio address is a strategy to invalidate President Donald Trump’s enactment of reciprocal tariffs and to divide Reaganites and MAGA.

I watched the video a few times to determine the context. From what I can decipher, either Reagan is talking about other countries issuing tariffs using America as a metaphor or he is describing why America should not ever rely solely on tariffs. Based on my limited research, I’m inclined to think the latter.

Keep in mind, Reagan championed free trade, (the buzzword of the 80’s and 90’s) and was a proponent of NAFTA and amnesty: both of which turned out to be terrible for America.

Obviously things were different in the eighties and Reagan certainly could not have foreseen the damage done to the USA .The Gipper is still one of best presidents America has ever had, but it appears , at least based on this context, he appears to be wrong on tariffs as he was with amnesty.

Perhaps there is more to this clip and if so, please feel free to post. I don’t mind anyone proving me wrong on this one.

Please watch the previous video and let me know your thoughts.

Unpacking Liberation Day

What have we witnessed in the past six days? All we’ve heard is epic fear mongering by the left , some on the right, and the media over President Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs. Let’s spend some time unpacking Liberation Day.

Hopefully you have marked April 2 as Liberation Day in your calendars, because history will record President Trump’s policy as a generational transformation. Believe it!

“But Dex, the stock market is falling, consumers will be paying higher prices and the world will hate us! ” Yes these things are happening, but only in the short term. It won’t be forever as the left is trying to make it.

How come the pearl-clutchers on the left, the media, and some on the right aren’t asking if tariffs are so bad, why do other world economies benefit from them? Why are tariffs only bad for America? Prior to the 16th Amendment, which made income tax law in 1913, America funded itself primarily by tariffs, public land sales, custom duties and excise taxes.

Countries like Japan, India, Vietnam and Canada have booming economies due to asymmetrical tariff policies on USA products. Canada has slapped as much as 200 percent tariffs on American goods.

America has had this uneven trade policy in place for over 80 years with the advent of the Marshal Plan at the end of World War 2. In fact, the last time America had a trade surplus was over 50 years ago. That’s the 1970’s.

So Trump announces we’re not gonna take it anymore, reveals his Executive Order of reciprocal tariffs to begin the restoration of fair trade and all hell breaks loose. The Wall Street Journal lambasts him, the mockingbird media distorts , Democrats demonize and even Republicans like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz condemn the policy.

Typical. Democrats gonna hate, media gonna lie and certain Republicans gonna bail. That’s Washington baby!

However there’s an obvious detail all the usual suspects tend to gloss over: the word reciprocal. Trump’s policy is reciprocal tariffs, not punitive. Reciprocal means the tariff amounts America places on other countries are based on their actions.

In other words, any increase in tariffs, America will respond in kind. The same goes for any decrease in tariffs as well . Funny how the legacy press ignores that part of reciprocity.

Say, for instance, Canada or the EU reduces its tariffs to 0 , we would respond the same way. with 0 tariffs. Yes, if all these global leaders responded with reductions, Trump would do the same. Instead ,all we’re getting from world leaders is foot stomping tantrums promising Americans will feel the pain.

Why do these leaders bloviate with such punitive rhetoric instead of simply reducing their tariffs? It’s all about the money. The globalists are pissed off because they fear their people finding out their economies are sustained by the tariffs on American goods. Reduce those amounts and you kill the gravy train they’re accustomed to.

But it’s even bigger than that. President Trump is upending the parasitical global economic construct that has grown wealthy on the backs of hard-working Americans.Trump is liberating America from this one-way construct that’s screwed us while enriching every other nation.

And speaking of liberation, it requires will. Whether that liberation is throwing off the chains of tyranny, slavery or even an abusive relationship, there must be the resolve to never return to the way things were, no matter the difficulties. Pain usually follows for the short term, but the long term freedoms make the temporary hardships worth it.

Trump cautions Americans prices will go up initially, but from this will come an economic boom. The expert economists attack Trump’s plan, but what is their alternative to benefit Americans? And what is the Democrat plan? Senator Cory Booker ranted and raved about Trump for 24 hours, and said nothing about his party’s plan to fix our 30 trillion dollar deficit or to bring jobs back.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey

First Trump unleashed DOGE and Elon Musk to expose the fraud nd wasteful spending of our federal bureaucracy, and now Americans are learning of a multi-decade trade deficit. Americans’ eyes are no longer closed to how we’ve reached our current economic state. Democrat minions may be vandalizing Tesla Dealerships but the distraction isn’t working.

Every president since Reagan chose to kick the can down the road while telling us “Nahh… it’ll be fine.” Every president except Trump, that is. He’s a brilliant businessman stepping up and doing the heavy lifting because he loves this country. The least we can do is trust him. After all, he took a bullet for us.

How far we have fallen

How many times a week do comment to yourself, or others, how far we have fallen as a society? Perhaps this observation is a daily occurrence?

While stopped at an intersection one recent early evening, I noted a lone man in the crosswalk wearing a covid mask. I repeat: he was alone and wearing a mask! Cue head shaking and eyes rolling.

Then, someone sends me this tweet a few days later, ” BRADY BUNCH FAMILY GETS THE MEASLES IN 1969.” Boy, is this video on point. Watch:

What a difference half a century makes. Certainly, there were no such things as safe-spaces or trigger warnings because the culture was, predominantly, mentally tougher 55 years ago.

What caused this change from a culture laughing off once common illnesses, to people now scared for their lives the moment someone coughs or sneezes? I believe it’s America collectively losing the fear of God. I commented on this in my book American Christian: A Treatise of Spiritual, Cultural and Political Discernment. From the chapter titled, “On the Fear of the Lord,”:

“The West has reached the point where it has normalized pathological fear. Perhaps my statement could be construed as over-the-top, but you have only to reflect upon the culture’s obsessive fright over germs (what used to be seasonal maladies, such as the common cold or the flu) to see its accuracy. Fear has crossed from the reasonable to the irrational for an ever-growing number of Americans.” (Bahr, 2023. pg 23-24)

Fear of the Lord does not mean worrying if or when God will smite or punish you for some reason. Scripture actually tells us the fear of the Lord in the beginning of wisdom and, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10).

If the fear of the Lord (whether in reverence, awe, or dread) is the beginning of wisdom, therefore, no fear of the Lord results in folly, stupidity or irrationality; take your pick.

The Brady Bunch clip featured in this piece came from a time when Americans predominately feared God. The Law and Order: SVU clip , replete with dramatic pearl-clutching doom -and-gloom is from our “enlightened” (sarc) modern times.

Need I say more?

My, how far we have fallen.

Snow White is a massive box office flop

Mirror, mirror on the wall, what’s the biggest Disney live action fail of all? It’s official, An opening weekend of just $43 million domestically and $87 million worldwide is spelling disaster for this remake of the beloved 1937 animated movie. The original prognostications for the low end were just $45-50 million, which means , Snow White is even worse than the worse predictions.

As of this writing, the film has a 1.9 rating on IMDB out of a top rating of 10 points. Metacritic gives the movie a 50 critic score (which is not too bad). However, the user score is a disastrous 1.2, an” overwhelming dislike.”

Anyone following Snow Whites’s production in the past couple of years saw this coming because Disney chose to update this classic story for “modern audiences.” This means replacing the charm, humor , and heart of original with a girl boss story of Snow White becoming the leader she was destined to be.

This is epitomized by the film’s insufferable star, Rachel Zegler, who succeeded in pissing off fans of the classic cartoon because she couldn’t shut her big mouth. Check out this infamous interview from 2023.

If her smug comments weren’t enough to inspire boycotts, Zegler then disparaged Trump voters. She posted this Tweet after the 2024 Presidential Election, hoping Trump and supporters “never know peace”:

It’s looking like Zegler may be the one not knowing peace. If SNOW WHITE continues to tank, many are predicting she’s done in Hollywood. Wonder if she will whistle while she works… in theater.

Meanwhile, check out this hilarious review by Nerdrotic :

Wake up Canadians

Wake up Canadians. President Trump is not threatening your sovereignty. He’s trying to snap you out of the delusion that everything is fine in your nation: it isn’t.

Trump calling for Canada as the 51st state, is a troll. Seriously, why would Trump make the 51st state a country steeped in socialism? Sorry, but most Canadians would likely vote Democrat to keep their socialized health care benefits, because it’s what they’re used to. That would only hurt America.

Don’t you get that? Trump’s comment followed former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stating any reciprocity in trade with the United States would hurt Canada.

President Donald Trump and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

For decades, Canada slapped huge tariffs on US exports such as a 270 percent tariff on dairy products, for example. In both 2023 and 2024 America imported more from Canada than it exported, resulting in a trade deficit.

Interestingly , America has a trade deficit not only with Canada, but most of the world. Trump is calling for reset.

From White House.gov:

“AMERICA WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES: The United States is one of the most open economies in the world, yet our trading partners keep their markets closed to our exports. This lack of reciprocity is unfair and contributes to our large and persistent annual trade deficit.
There are endless examples where our trading partners do not give the United States reciprocal treatment.
The U.S. tariff on ethanol is a mere 2.5%. Yet Brazil charges the U.S. ethanol exports a tariff of 18%. As a result, in 2024, the U.S. imported over $200 million in ethanol from Brazil while the U.S. exported only $52 million in ethanol to Brazil.
The U.S. average applied Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariff on agricultural goods is 5%. But India’s average applied MFN tariff is 39%. India also charges a 100% tariff on U.S. motorcycles, while we only charge a 2.4% tariff on Indian motorcycles.
The European Union can export all the shellfish it wants to America. But the EU bans shellfish exports from 48 of our states, despite committing in 2020 to expedite approvals for shellfish exports. As a result, in 2023, the U.S. imported $274 million in shellfish from the EU but exported only $38 million.
The EU also imposes a 10% tariff on imported cars. Yet the U.S. only imposes a 2.5% tariff.
A 2019 report found that across 132 countries and more than 600,000 product lines, United States exporters face higher tariffs more than two-thirds of the time.
This lack of reciprocity is one source of America’s large and persistent annual trade deficit in goods: closed markets abroad reduce U.S. exports and open markets at home result in significant imports, both of which undercut American competitiveness.
The United States has run a trade deficit of goods every year since 1975. In 2024, our trade deficit in goods exceeded $1 trillion.
Thanks to the proliferation of non-reciprocal barriers in just the last few years, the U.S. now runs a trade deficit in agriculture, worth around $40 billion in 2024.
Though America has no such thing, and only America should be allowed to tax American firms, trading partners hand American companies a bill for something called a digital service tax.
Canada and France use these taxes to each collect over $500 million per year from American companies.
Overall, these non-reciprocal taxes cost America’s firms over $2 billion per year.
Reciprocal tariffs will bring back fairness and prosperity to the distorted international trade system and stop Americans from being taken advantage of.”

Any change in the one-way benefits from the U.S. Economy means Canada cannot survive. Simply put, Trump said if Canada cannot even put together its own military and defense then it should become America’s 51st state.

Instead of taking offense, my Canadian brothers and sisters, you should be taking inventory. For all your re-ignited patriotism , has it crossed your minds that for a supposed sovereign country , your leaders have made you dependent on another nation for your national defense and economy ?

You’ve become a “pass- through” economy , assembling goods from other countries for distribution in the United States. Get it? Canada , once an industrial rich nation now only puts together other nations’ products.

Wake up Canadians! How can you throw your support for the liberal government that has ruined your country because it considers climate change policy and socialized medicine more important than the people? Are you so gullible as to consider President Trump the source of your problems?

Judicial tyranny , it’s all the Democrats got

Judicial tyranny, it’s all the Democrats got in their efforts to stop the Trump train. Not surprising, considering they are the party of hate and lawlessness.

Nationwide injunctions by federal district judges are unconstitutional: a blatant assault on the Executive Branch and clear violation of the separation of powers. In just two months, radical leftist judges have issued a record 15 injunctions against Trump efforts to deport murderous illegal aliens, remove waste from federal government and remove trans-athletes from women sports.

This is compared to just 14 for Joe Biden’s entire term, 64 for Trump’s first term, and only 12 for Barack Obama’s entire eight years. Of the 127 injunctions since 1963, Trump has 79 of them.

That number is more than the total against all presidents combined before Trump. They’re desperate , folks.

Trump is such an existential threat to their corrupt business as usual practices in Washington DC, so they gotta pull out the stops. The problem is now they’ve jumped the shark with the sheer volume of judicial pushback. Now, the 77.3 million Trump voters are watching closely.

A reckoning is coming.

Trump has the people on his side. Poll after poll has shown approval of everything he is doing . These unelected activist judges are literally thwarting the people’s will.

Trump is rightly ignoring these rulings, causing more apoplexy on the left, which I believe is the goal. Remember, Trump always has a plan.

I’m not privy to any insider information. I’m just a guy typing on his laptop in his office and paying attention.

All you have to do is look at the asymmetric warfare tactics he has engaged the Dems and the Deep State with. He’s attacking their financial pipelines with DOGE, removing their spheres of cultural influence through the shutting down of USAID and the dissolving of the Department of Education.

Does it not figure Trump will decimate these leftist jurists in a similar fashion ? We’re not talking impeachment , but other means the legacy media can’t fathom.

Trump is much more savvy of the Democrat and Deep State tactics than he was in his first term. Don’t doubt for a minute countermeasures aren’t in place.

Of course, he’s counting on the Supreme Court to intervene, once and for all, on this question . However, Trump is smart; he realizes Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett are wobbly .

I’m confident he has one if not several Trump cards in place (pun intended). If so, the Democrats’ judicial tyranny will be just as neutered as their political power. Take heart regarding judicial tyranny, it’s all the Democrats got. The memes say it all.

Thank God for President Trump

Thank God for President Trump. If you study history, there’s no doubt God appoints all leaders for specific times . (Daniel 2:21, NKJV). These are men and women, equipped with certain skillsets, strengths and even weaknesses for God’s will and purposes.

Can you imagine just how terrible things would be right now if Kamala Harris won the presidency and the clowns sitting on their hands at President Trump’s Joint Speech to Congress were in absolute power?
We’d be done as a nation: plain and simple.

Think about the nearly mortal wounds inflicted on this country under the Biden Presidency. From the wide-open southern border, runaway inflation, rising energy prices, to President Biden demonizing half the country as extremists : metaphorically speaking, every day was another cut, gradually sapping our life away.

The Age of Nonsense, that was the Biden era. An apt term– what with the media’s and government’s obsession of convincing us two plus two equals five. If this term is unfamiliar you can read it’s about it here.

Remember these Orwellian examples of two plus two equal five? America is a nation of immigrants, therefore we must have a wide-open border. The covid lockdowns kept us safe by isolating us from loved ones /friends , decimating intellectual/social milestones for children and nearly destroying the economy. Transgendered men competing in women’s sports or accessing women’s bathrooms is perfectly normal.

Biden’s satanic minions slandered us as evil, racist, misogynist, transphobic, xenophobic, bigots, because we rejected their warped moral arithmetic. They tried to bully us into standing down against their wicked morality

However, all their efforts to break us backfired. How did this happen?

One thing about Dems, overkill consumes them when it comes to their enemies. Their efforts to destroy President Trump, whether through corrupt show trials, an FBI raid of his Mar -A- Lago home, and two assassination attempts exemplified this bloodlust.

A “bipartisan” and crooked unselect January 6 committee was the Deep State’s effort to make a Trump conviction nice and legal-like. Under the guise of saving democracy, the pulled out the stops to brand Trump an insurrectionist . That included possible witness tampering and the destruction of any evidence exonerating Trump.

Except, the opposite happened. Americans saw this onslaught on one man and it re-awakened in them an instinctual revulsion of tyranny.

Oh yeah, the nation got red-pilled.

Not Trump’s base, they never abandoned him. However, once solid Dem constituencies such as black men and latinos broke free of the Democrat matrix. A reality check was happening.

For years these black and brown communities protested abuse at the hands of the law. Now they were seeing that play out against the orange man who the media characterized as a racist. Something didn’t compute , hence the red-pilling of these constituencies.

They noted the abuse of the law against Trump and said to themselves, “Trump may have posted mean tweets, but my bank account was bigger when he was President. Food /utilities were definitely cheaper , America was energy independent and we were respected in the world. Biden reversed all of this.”

And so ushered in this golden era of Common Sense, dismaying the Dems. Through this new lens, former Dem supporters now a see a political party losing their minds over the lawful deportation of murderous illegal-alien gang-bangers and willing to die on the hill of transgenderism.

I recently wrote of the Dems as the real party of hate. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has unmasked their loathing of America and this vitriol is literally driving them mad.

God is exposing them for all to see through their TDS. All I can say is, thank God for President Trump.

AB 1333 a dangerous 2nd Amendment attack

What is it about the Democrat Party’s hatred of guns and the coddling of criminals? AB 1333, a dangerous 2nd Amendment attack proves this.

Assembly Bill 1333 could restrict private citizens’ ability to protect themselves and loved ones from violent criminals. California actually has in place the “no duty to retreat” rule which makes it easier to assert self-defense in court.

AB 1333 would severely hamper this legality ,calling for law-abiding citizens, protecting family and property, to retreat before using appropriate force . The bill protects the bad guys by criminalizing any actions of self defense on the part of victims.

Only in California.

Assemblyman Rick Chavez Zbur (D) 51st District

Zbur has been backtracking lately, claiming he did not intend for the bill to infringe upon self defense rights and insisting the legislation would get further clarification. Keep in mind his verbal about-face comes after massive public backlash.

“Can you have stop and frisk on a criminal in the middle of them breaking in if they have a bat and I have a gun?” asked 8th District Assemblyman David Tangipa, a Republican in an interview with KMPH-TV.

“If that person has a bat, I almost have to allow them to hit me first to then prove that they had the intent to kill me,” Tangipa said, “and that is unacceptable. And not only that, it steps on our Second Amendment rights. If you can’t be safe in your own home, where can you flee to?”

Despite their protestations to the contrary, Democrats, like Zbur, have a reflexive disdain for the Second Amendment . Their proposals are always attempts to stack the deck against law-abiding citizens while making life easier for the criminal.

This is why voters must throw the Dems out of office at every opportunity. Liberal politicians swear an oath to defend the Constitution, but their actions are always the opposite of their words.

In fact, we should figure that whatever leftists claim they will uphold or defend, we should naturally assume the opposite.

For instance, if the libs say they will “defend”, then we must determine they really mean “attack”, “abandon” or “betray”. I say determine , not assume, because this is giving them the benefit of the doubt, which they no longer deserve.

For now Californians, contact your assemblyperson and urge their opposition to this bill, currently awaiting a hearing and consideration by committee. You can search for your assembly rep at this link, https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov
