Senate Democrats pushed nine different gun controls during the past six weeks, and ABC News has now emerged with a tenth gun law which they suggest may be the ringer.

That law would legalize firearm confiscation orders like those in Washington state. Such orders allow a judge to issue an ex parte order for the confiscation of an American’s firearms. This means the order can be issued without the firearm owner even being present for the process. His or her first knowledge of the order would come when police knocked on their door to sweep the house for firearms.

According to ABC News, the orders are supported by Sandy Hook Promise, the gun control group to which Tim McGraw donated concert proceeds in July 2015. The firearm confiscation orders are also supported by Michael Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety.

In fact, ABC News reported that Everytown claims “4,500 Americans died due to gun violence in August” of this year. This claim is misleading in a number of ways.

For one, it does not differentiate between Americans who die due to suicide versus those who die via gun crime, homicide. Gun crime only makes up one-third of gun deaths each year in America. Two-thirds of the deaths are suicides.

The second misleading aspect of claiming “4,500 Americans died due to gun violence in August” is that the annual average for gun deaths is 31,000 to 33,000 (and the vast majority of these are suicides, as previously noted). If 4,500 were being killed each month, that would push the total number of gun deaths to 54,000 annually, which is an outlandish claim.

In addition to Washington state, gun confiscation orders exist in Oregon, Connecticut, and California. They were passed in California after Elliot Rodger complied with every state and federal gun control on the books, then drove around Santa Barbara shooting people on May 23, 2014. UCLA law professor Adam Winkler spoke with the National Journal about the orders and explained that they would not have stopped Rodger nor would they have stopped Sandy Hook Elementary School gunman Adam Lanza. The reason in both cases is because family would have had to recognize the propensity for violence in the two attackers, for the purposes of securing a confiscation order, and there is no indication that either family did.

Professor Winkler put it this way: “The truth is that it is very rare to know in advance when someone is going to be dangerous with a firearm. This is not going to make a huge dent in our gun violence statistics.”

The NFL hasn’t exactly been too strict with players disrespecting the national anthem that represents the freedom our veterans have worked so hard to preserve.

This Veterans Day weekend, a group of Facebookers plans to give the NFL a “present” to show just how they feel about this disrespect — and, given how things have been going for the league, NFL executives are not going to like it one bit.

Saturday is the true Veterans Day, Nov. 11, but according to Fox News, a group of over 200,000 Facebook users have joined Boycott the NFL and have vowed to boycott the league on Sunday thanks to the ongoing national anthem protests.

“Until millionaire football players stop protesting the National Anthem of the United States, we’ll be here,” the group’s Facebook “About” page reads.

“We love football, but we love our flag more.”

Over 222,000 people were members as of Saturday morning, and each of them were pledging to boycott the NFL’s games this weekend as a Veterans Day protest.

The protests were set off last year by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. A second round of protests were started this year when, during a speech in Alabama, President Trump said that the “sons of b******” who disrespected the anthem should be fired.

Needless to say, veterans were ticked — and they’re letting it show on the Boycott the NFL Facebook page.

That’s not a good thing for the NFL, which has been seeing a ratings slide as of late.

Just this past Monday, the “Monday Night Football” game between the Greenbay Packers and the Detroit Lions  was the lowest-rated Week Nine Monday night game in a decade, and ratings this year have continued the rather dismal trend they took last year, as well.

And now there’s more bad news. The NFL won’t be enjoying this weekend at all.

Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter with your thoughts about the NFL anthem protests.

First lady Melania Trump stopped at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska to visit children in a pre-school during a refueling stop on her trip back to Washington, D.C. on Friday.

The Alaska Dispatch News reported:

A security-screened crowd packed into Arctic Oasis Community Center, which serves the base as a family gym, indoor playground, hair salon, arcade and more. Trump arrived with a traveling team that included step son-in-law Jared Kushner on an Air Force jet from Beijing on their way back to Washington, D.C., after touring Asia with President Donald Trump.

The first lady spent less than an hour at a preplanned event to celebrate families of active-duty members that included arts and crafts, stories and games. It occurred on the observed holiday for Veterans Day, which falls on Saturday this year.

People held their phones over their heads and crushed up against barricades to document the moment. Some were trying for good shots of their children, handpicked to show the first lady activities including making rainbows in jars and creating decorative fish from plastic jewels, CDs and glitter.

The first lady’s visit was to highlight educational opportunities at the base in preschool, child care, and after-school programs.

“And to literally honor our military families,” Tammy De Benedetto, head of JBER child and youth services, said.

Air Force Master Sgt. David Jennings brought his wife, Lindsay, and their two daughters, Abigail and Annabelle, to see Trump, the Associated Press reported.

“A great family memory here,” Jennings said.

“What a genuine lady,” De Benedetto said. “Very humble.”

“With every child, with every student, with every staff – she interacted,” De Benedetto said. “Just a wonderful lady.”

The base is home to 14,000 soldiers, airmen, and civilian contractors and 15,000 family members.

About 100 employees of sports/liberal political network ESPN can expect to find pink slips in their Christmas stockings this year.

The network continues to lose subscribers in droves thanks to a departure from being primarily about sports coverage and the broadcasting of games into radical racial and leftist politics.

It makes little sense from a business standpoint to alienate a considerable chunk of the audience due to on-air personalities using their positions to preach politics.

The ongoing string of controversies that have plagued the network were never more apparent than when an African-American host of SportsCenter created a firestorm by using her Twitter account to accuse President Trump of being a white supremacist.

She managed to avoid disciplinary action for violating social media policy and only weeks later, took to Twitter again to blast Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and call for a boycott of the team.

That earned her a two week suspension. Could a more permanent solution to the problem be in the offing?

Next ESPN layoffs worse than originally thought… https://t.co/aDgquqnCdP

— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) November 9, 2017

Via Sports Illustrated “ESPN layoffs: 100-plus staffers, on-air talent cuts near”:

ESPN will lay off more than 100 staffers after the Thanksgiving holidays, multiple sources tell Sports Illustrated. The layoffs, which were described by a person briefed on the plans, will hit positions across ESPN including front-facing talent on the television side, producers, executives, and digital and technology staffers. The SportsCenter franchise is expected to be hit hard—including on-air people—given the frequency of the show has lessened considerably on main network ESPN.

The network declined comment to SI on Thursday afternoon.

It remains to be seen as to whether Ms. Hill and her fellow SJW travelers will be cut loose but doing so would kill two birds with one stone.

As the NFL is now learning, sports and racial grievance politics are a bad mix, the same is true at ESPN and a layoff provides a perfect opportunity for a holiday housecleaning.
