Two Texas counties have responded to increasing attacks on the gun ownership rights of Texans by declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries against unconstitutional firearms restrictions.

Erin Anderson reports [[link removed]] on the unanimous action of the Parker County Commissioners Court resolution reaffirming the “inalienable and individual” gun rights of local citizens.

“Our hope is that this seed of liberty will continue to blossom across many more counties across our great state of Texas.” – Mike Olcott, Parker County Conservatives

Meanwhile, Smith County Commissioners voted [[link removed]] 4-to-1 to adopt a similar resolution. The lone Democrat, JoAnn Hampton, opposed the measure.

“After passing a 6.1 percent tax increase that gobbled up all of the property tax cut from the Tyler school district, the Republicans on this bench actually swerved into standing for the right thing, for a change.” – JoAnn Fleming, Grassroots America We The People

An Austin-area rocket scientist is running for Congress. Brandon Waltens reports [[link removed]] on George Hindman’s entry into the race to replace retiring Republican Bill Flores. The other notable figure in the Central Texas race is Pete Sessions, a former Member of Congress who represented a portion of Dallas County.

Speaking of Central Texas, Jacob Asmussen has a roundup [[link removed]] of the property tax questions confronting voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election. ​

Perhaps you saw these headlines earlier this week? The Hill [[link removed]] screamed “7 in 10 millennials say they would vote for a socialist” and then there was “More than a third of millennials polled approve of communism,” according to MarketWatch.com [[link removed]].

That some large percentage of millennials embrace socialism is a reminder that public education has failed in the most spectacularly disastrous way possible. Every single murderous and genocidal regime in modern history has shared two traits: their government is big, and based on the tenets of socialism or communism.

An embrace of socialism is an embrace of the worst sins of government. The murder of millions of Jews was made easy by Hitler’s socialistic Germany. It allowed Stalin to murder millions more people in his pograms. It enabled Pol Pot’s genocides.

But millennials are uneducated as to such things. Their school days were spent in pep rallies for standardized tests. They were treated to lectures on the fluidity of gender. They were harassed about pronoun selection. They wrote poems celebrating the climate change hoax.

Just as before, the next time big government is mobilized against its own citizenry, it will be because those citizens’ parents voted it into being. It will be because the population entertained socialism.

Today in History

On Oct. 30, 1735, America’s second president – John Adams – was born in Massachusetts.

Quote-Unquote

“Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.”

– John Adams​
