VIEW from behind the plow

Walter E. Williams’ report in the weekend edition about how normal people in Virginia are fighting back about the pinko state administration’s effort to grab citizens’ guns is heart-warming.

Most of the counties, except those in the immediate vicinity of Washington, D.C., have declared themselves 2nd Amendment “Sanctuary Counties.”

You know, using the left’s wordplay about sanctuary cities where illegal aliens are allowed to roam free from federal laws, in order to poke the deep state elite right in the eye, or gut, or any other sensitive area – you call it.

Virginia has elected some very creepy left-wingers to high administration places thanks to some populous counties that abut Washington, D.C., locations fi lled with deep staters who find the likes of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton acceptable in the human race.

These ever-so-correct lefties apparently forgot there was anything in the rest of Virginia that would object to their classic socialist attempts to disarm them.

Big mistake.

Because of the northern reaches of Virginia full of Washington workers they barely gained control of both houses of the legislature thanks in no small part because of expenditure of tons of money donated by the leftist establishment.

With Gov. Ralph Northam, who is known also for seeking to replace the Lee statue in the capital, leading the charge, Virginia passed laws that would confi scate guns from those scary everyday people who do such things as work for a living, take care of their families, go to church, pray, volunteer in their communities and even (gasp) hunt and fish and keep guns in their homes to protect themselves and their families.

The “betters” were going to teach those rednecks a lesson.

Columnist Kurt Schlichter described the reaction thusly:

“Everyone outside the garbage counties locked and loaded their freedom and so the Second Amendment sanctuary movement began. County after county, and many cities committed to resisting if the state tried enforcing unconstitutional gun laws against normal citizens. And it was beautiful. The Dems wet themselves.

One libbo even threatened to call out the national guard.

With sheriffs of outback counties deputizing scores (maybe thousands) of gun owners that might not be a great idea.

Of course, President Trump would have the option of nationalizing the National Guard and think of all the people who didn’t turn out in the next election to overturn the results of the one which seated the gun-grabbing majority.

There just might be a new sheriff (so to speak) in the Virginia legislature.

We don’t recall hearing a word about the Virginia rebellion from the major media.

If there was, could the talking heads have been able to resist referring to the rural Virginians as hicks?

Is President Trump a shoo-in?

We may have mis-spoken in Wednesday’s edition when we said there was not an announced Democrat candidate who could beat President Trump in the 2020 election.

We forgot the rabid efforts of the left to unbalance the scales with illegal voters.

Besides the trick of voting tombstones of people long dead, The Free Press Foundation calls attention to the effect that 4.5 million anchor babies will have on the 2020 elections.

It comments:

Research by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has found that, due to immigration, about 26 congressional seats will be redistributed from mostly red states to blue states.

Democrats are being gifted the seats due to the continued growth of the noncitizen population and their anchor babies.

“Every year, the U.S. imports about 1.2 million legal immigrants who largely arrive to reunite with foreign relatives already in the country,” Breitbart’s John Binder noted in a Dec. 23 report. “This level of annual legal immigration is in addition to the hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, foreign tourists, and nearly a million illegal aliens who successfully enter. These populations deliver close to 400,000 children — who are gifted birthright citizenship — in the U.S. a year.”

The CIS study found that the 26 congressional seats will shift from President Donald Trump-supporting states like Ohio, Michigan, Alabama, Idaho, Missouri, West Virginia, and Tennessee to large states like California, Texas, New York, Florida, and New Jersey.

“The counting of only American citizens to divide up congressional districts and electoral college votes would shift power away from the affl uent, metropolitan coastal cities of the U.S. and towards middle America,” Binder noted.

Conservative scholars argue the Citizenship Clause of

Conservative scholars argue the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment does not provide mandatory birthright citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens or non citizens, as these children are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction as that language was understood when the 14th Amendment was ratifi ed.

Trump has signaled that he has reviewed signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship, otherwise known as the “anchor baby policy.”

To keep a constitutional U.S. government, bona fi de American voters cannot relax. They must go to the polls.
