President Joe Biden’s increasingly strident language aimed at “MAGA Republicans”, climaxes in a confusing remark about “brave, right-wing Americans” who think they can “go to war against a country” with semi-automatic rifles, when they really need the F15. Who’s he talking about? What does he mean? Does he even know?

To Bill’s point- the fact that he had military members backing him up was his way of saying “I have the backing of the military to take you on and will do so.” Joe Sidius was threatening us- each of us.
To Scott’s point: yes, he does not realize that it was our own government we were fighting when we fought the civil war. He has made other statements about how the second amendment was only about muskets, not about canons. I have heard this from multiple leftists. Sorry- canons was exactly what it was about. When we fought against the British, ALL the armaments with which we fought that war were privately owned. You can look it up. We did not even have a government at that time that was capable of owning the canons used to fight the British. In fact, to the muskets point- we had rifles (the Kentucky long rifle for instance) that were superior to the muskets the British (our government at the time) were using.
So, yes when they wrote the second amendment they did not mean muskets- they meant ANY arms necessary to protect our citizenry. Because at the time they wrote it, all arms which they used to secure our freedom were privately owned. And they wanted to see that continue as a protective measure against government tyranny. A well regulated militia.
Biden is NOT the only Democrat that has made statements like that. I recall California Congressman Swalwell say something like “If you’re coming after the Government, remember, we have nuclear weapons”
Both of these statements show how nervous these Democrats are because they think they ARE our Masters.
I agree with Bill, Scott although I can’t say categorically that you are wrong. Just low probability in my mind.
They? They?? Forget Biden’s threats. I’m offended that he assumed my pronouns.
I get Scott’s point that Biden is not all there and doesn’t understand that Great Britain was our government at the time we used our guns against them.
It’s not the Biden’s not severely impaired, but I think they DO know what we mean. Biden does not write his speeches (program his teleprompter). “They…” the people who pull his strings – those who surround and handle him — did. THEY … know. And Bill is right, it was a direct threat aimed at us AND a campaign point for anti-gunners.
But biden has to read the speeches over and over in order to get them half right. No excuses for his being a treasonous usurper. He is the devil’s accomplice and he’s okay with that!!
It wasn’t meant as an excuse. What I’m saying is even *if* Biden doesn’t know what we mean, the people who wrote the speech certainly DO.
And they’re the ones pulling the strings. All of ’em.
And he is still okay with that.If he were not okay with what they are doing, they would have to put him on stronger drugs than he is agreeing to take now.
Correct- easily evidenced by the fact that scarcely 12 hours after making the speech, he did not even remember the context of what he read aloud.
Need F-15’s? Tell that to the Afghans and the Ukranians.
Listening, 09/08/22 @ 12:15 AM means I’m late to the party, my apologies surrendered. Regardless of the ominous backdrop enhanced with the show of Marines the Citizenry needs to grasp the reality He speaks not his words but those of His handlers…His administration. The Propaganda Squad. “thread a needle so fine”; 5 words we should all Hear and Understand. They so perfectly describe the rule of propaganda.
Beyond my own summation Mr Ott I’d ask of you consider the comments of Messrs Jack Garrott and David Stanton…And please stay with us.
He’s clearly trying to gin up some violence before the midterms, that will supposedly give the left leverage!
It is clear that they are doing everything they can to make this mid term election entirely about January 6. It is their only nail to hang their coat on, and they are running with it hard and fast. The recent rash of home invasions of Trump supporters shows they are trying for something big in October.
Scott, I have to side with Bill on this. I certainly understand (and agree with) the desire to attribute the best possible motives to people, but this one’s pretty clear in my book, and you guys arguing is painful to me to see and hear.
I think Scott and Bill end up taking different looks at things, and it seem Bill more often doesn’t realize they’re not on the same page. Scott seems to, but then as he says this time, isn’t able to get across what part of the picture he’s talking about. More often than not in these kinds of exchanges, Scott seems to be looking at a larger issue while Bill is focusing on the specific and the two don’t often line up quite right which leads to the confusion and disagreement.
Resistance is futile. Submit and be happy. Per J. Biden.
i think his ANGRY outbursts are an example of an elderly demented person who in old age is approaching the end of life and begins to show more episodes of anger.
so joe puddin’ cup said we need F15s – umm I refer you to the whipping he took in Afghanistan. the US might was routed by a bunch of inbred, sandal wearing, 10th Century plebs.
just sayin’
I can see Scott’s interpretation. Adm. Yamamoto (reputedly) warned against invading mainland America with, “there would be a gun behind every blade of grass.” While I agree that Beijing Biden IS stupid (et al) enough to have thought that, I don’t believe it for a second. Bill is precisely correct. Our fascist dictator was laying down a/the gauntlet against ACTUAL Americans like he did with his, “I’d take him behind the building and beat the hell out of him” bravado. (Someday, when he’s joined his predecessors, like Mao, Hitler, Stalin, and Castro, in eternity, he’ll regret things like this. I hope he repents before it’s too late.)
For anyone else who needed to find the Tom Wolfe quote to realize how Steve changed it, well, here it is:
Not being a fan of flowery prose, I’ve never read that before today. I’m sure it’s my own loss.
Ha! Joe thinks that American military aircraft pilots are on his side. That’s how disconnected from reality he is. If it ever comes to the point where you need your gun to use against the government of this country those guys in the F-15 cockpits will already be on our side.
Someone needs to brief the people pulling Joe’s strings about a thing called a “lawful order”. Or not. Go ahead and issue an unlawful order and see which side those F-15s are on. I swore the same oath those jet jockeys did. There’s nothing in that oath that says anything about blindly following unlawful orders.
Biden, nor any other POTUS, has the power to issue unlawful orders. He does not have the power to wipe out billions in debt with an Executive Order and that will be overturned in the courts. He does not have the power to override the Second Amendment either, no matter how many jets he mistakenly believes he commands.
The President is not a sovereign king. Like it or not there are laws constraining his power. He knows this, even in his befuddled state of foggy existence.
The point is to make Democrat political opposition take a side against students with loans, military pilots and anyone else who stands in the way of a one party State.
As in … “I tried to forgive student debt but the Republicans blocked me in the courts. Vote for me.” and “I told those pilots to bomb MAGA country but the Republicans in the military stopped them from doing that. Vote for me.” Etc.
Don’t make the mistake the Democrats are trying to push you into making. Joe is despicable and an enemy of our Republic but he’s not a King who can do as he wishes even so. The biggest help anyone could give the enemies of our nation right now is to take Joe’s empty words to heart and violently act on them thinking they’re doing something patriotic. That wouldn’t be patriotic, it would be stupid.
If it wasn’t so infuriating and absurd, it could make for great comedy. The left is circling the drain
One other thing to add. Not a conspiracy theory, although all the old ones have been proven true, but this speech was an escalation in the attempt to bait someone (brave right wing conservatives, AKA, MAGA) into doing something stupid. They need a pretext to go after are guns and prove their assertions about brave right wing conservatives, AKA, MAGA republican’s to be correct. I pray no one takes the bait!
The actions of the FIB make me realize just how corrupt they have become. If there is violence it will be the FBI who will be doing it or encouraging and abetting some creep they have been watching (LOL) to do it. Our government has gone beyond abusing us. They want us dead.
It continues to amaze me that so many people do not truly understand the function and purpose of the 2nd Amendment. If the people are sovereign, and in our system they are, then they are allowed (and some might say required) to be prepared to revolt against a government leaning towards tyranny that no longer rules with their consent.
When the Russian chekists went up the back stairs of a slum tenement to “collect” a dissident, they were not met with the hail of bullets that would and should greet them in America. If “our” government sends a truck of troops down the street into a suburb to collect Joe the Plumber, when the time is right they will not find that as simple a task as they would expect. And we could hope that truck is actually searching for the “resistance movement” to join up with them (with or without their “party commissar” in chains.)
The crux of course comes when one man’s revolutionary is another man’s counterrevolutionary. Only the winner decides.
Listening to President Root Vegetable you need to bear in mind who he is. He’s the guy who has said years ago that firing a shotgun into the air is as lethal as anyone ever needs to be in their own defense. If that were so then blanks work as well as live shells. We all know he’s not the sharpest razor in the drawer. In fact, some of that dullness is what appealed to many voters. Trump is as sharp as any POTUS has ever been and contrasting Joe’s dullardliness was something that appealed to a lot of voters no sharper than he is.
I doubt those were actually Joe’s words. They came out of Joe’s mouth but someone else put them there. Their most likely source being the unelected committee of Social Marxists pulling Joe’s puppet strings. There is no doubt at all that those words were intended to demonize the only party the Democrats have any need to truly fear.
That doesn’t absolve our nearly brain dead Glorious Leader of the responsibility that goes along with saying them. He’s just barely cognizant enough to still be held to account for his actions. “Just barely” doesn’t let him off the hook. The reason he was willing to speak those words is that if he had his full mental facilities of a couple decades back he would have approved of and said them because he is a low, evil, corrupt man. He’s simply easier to manipulate now than he would have been previously.
We should be grateful that the people operating Puppet Joe are so shallow and inexperienced. They believe themselves to be very clever while foolishly telegraphing their punches. If this were not so they would have realized that what a good chunk of the American voting population saw was the similarity to this scene from Star Trek: Patterns of Force …
Oh I’ve been seeing the John Gill parallels for a while now. I’ve got a blog post to write on that I need to finish sooner than later
Look on the bright side.
The Republic is being destroyed by its leadership, inflation is rampant, the President is a puppet and our enemies are sharpening their knives in anticipation of carving up the carcass of the United States of America but …
Potato Joe hasn’t sent one single mean tweet since he took office.
yay
Looks like the Vichy Republicans who shilled for Biden* whiffed on that one as well:
https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1567524341386018817
I clicked on that and then I did something I haven’t done in years. I tweeted a reply to a guy who considering his words appears to at least claim to be a Native American Indian.
He asked if people would vote for him, if he was qualified, considering that he’s ‘indigenous’ and stated he’d run as a Democrat.
I said that his race means nothing to me. It is neither recommendation nor prohibitive. People on my side don’t care what race you are, we care about your politics. So I wouldn’t vote for him if he ran as a Democrat and that has nothing to do with him being ‘indigenous’. It’s purely political and not even a little bit racial.
I couldn’t resist taking that shot at racism. Clearly that guy’s race is way more important to him than it is to me. That’s OK, he’s allowed to be proud of who and what he is, he just doesn’t have the right to expect me to be proud for him too. I don’t care.
I said I’d be happy to see a Conservative Native American POTUS but equally as happy to see a conservative President of any race or heritage at all.
The skin color difference is irrelevant to me, it’s the color of the heart that matters. It’s either Conservative Red, White and Blue or it’s Leftist Black and Shrivelled.
I’ll keep my guns, just the same. To use an F-15, or A-10, or any other of the superior military grade weapons they have against the citizenry, might cause a bit of an optics problem for them. More likely, they’ll have to go door to door for whatever tyrannical operation they have in mind, and THAT is where individuals with guns can change the course of history.
Stingers and Javalins seem to be very useful in Ukraine, Nice tidy weapon to carry. It tube is black though so very menacing…. maybe it the tube was a nice blue?
LOL
Enjoyed the conversation. But I think you were missing the imagery and the inspiration. Clearly taken from Adolf’s cathedral of lights night time speeches. Also, his F-15 comment is aimed directly at anyone (brave right wing conservatives, AKA, MAGA) who believes they can overthrow the current tyrannical government with AR-15’s. The left is smart enough to envision a one party tyranny, just too stupid to actually put their plans into effect. That is the good news in the aftermath of Dark Brandenburg’s speech.
Scott’s misinterpretation of what Biden meant when he said, clearly, that we would need f-15s to fight against the (OUR) government, which is the ONLY argument the right has ever made for our support of the 2nd amendment is ridiculous! Neither interpretation that he suggests – that (1) Biden meant we couldn’t attack ANOTHER country or (2) that Biden wasn’t really cognizant of WHAT he was saying – passes the laugh test. I can’t understand how Scott suddenly couldn’t get what was clear to everybody else in the country, both on the right and the left!
Scott wants to believe the best in everyone. Unfortunately, everyone doesn’t have a best to believe in. IMHO
I take it more as Scott taking any statement at its own value, without adding any interpretation based on what we think he meant.
That said, when the WH press secretary has to start parsing “a” country versus “the” country that is straight out of their Orwellian playbook.
This speeh was ambitious – the words and imagery were too over the top to not be intentional. Last Thursday was a weather vane for how willing the general public is to acceept violence against us Normals. We’ve already seen low level violence in their unoffical Brown Shirts (Rob Creamer’s thugs asssaulting people at Trump rallies, FBI harassment of the J6 Reichstag Fire victims, BLAmtifa, Covid thuggery, etc).
The speech bombed, but The Radical Left will always nudge at the boundries to see how much more they can get away with at any given moment. And I truly miss the days when what I just wrote would look more like tin foil hattery rather than a logical connecting of the dots.
There is no question in my mind that pResident Brandon issued a declaration of war on President Trump and his supporters.
Soros, the media, the UN and the swamp are ALL IN on destabilizing the United States.
Things will get worse before the ‘24 election.
Much worse.
