Allen West: Why America has the Second Amendment

It is very disconcerting to me when I see Marxist leftists who have a poor level of reading comprehension. The simplistic words of the Second Amendment of our individual Bill of Rights should not be cause for confusion. Just as a historical reminder, especially as we approach our 250th Independence celebration, the Second Amendment is rooted in the events of 19 April 1775. 

It was on that day that 77 Americans stood on a field in Lexington, Massachusetts, against the greatest military power the world knew at that time. The British regiment was marching inland towards Concord to destroy a weapons manufacturing facility that was supplying the Sons of Liberty. On that day, there was no American Army, Navy, or Marine Corps; matter of fact, there was no America. However, there was an understanding that armed individuals could be free citizens who attain liberty; disarmed individuals can only be subjects.

The militia is every American, not the military. Well-regulated means well-trained, disciplined, and the duty of this well-trained group of citizens is the security of a free State. And what part of “shall not be infringed” is hard to comprehend? Isn’t it rather ironic that the State where armed Americans made a stand against the tyranny of gun control, the beginning of our American Revolution, is now home to the most stringent gun control laws?

Not Dead Yet Files Delaware Lawsuit To Overturn Assisted Suicide Law

By Kelly Israel, 12/11/25 (pictured here).

Not Dead Yet is proud to join Sean Curran and five other organizational plaintiffs (Delaware ADAPT, Freedom Center for Independent Living, United Spinal Association, National Council on Independent Living, Institute for Patients’ Rights) in a lawsuit against health agencies in Delaware and their use of the End of Life Options Act (EOLOA). 

Not Dead Yet opposes assisted suicide laws as blatantly discriminatory and extremely dangerous. These laws treat disabled lives as not worth living and people with disabilities as better off dead. It’s time the citizens of Delaware fought back.  Our lawsuit argues that implementation of Delaware’s assisted suicide law violates the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Delaware health agencies do so by applying EOLOA and steering patients with certain kinds of disabilities (namely, terminal illnesses) away from suicide prevention services and towards assisted suicide. 

For example, health agencies fail to apply stringent standards for suicide prevention in Delaware to patients with terminal illnesses and instead - by offering them EOLOA - direct these patients to end their own lives. The Americans with Disabilities Act and Rehabilitation Act are clear that this impermissibly treats individuals differently solely on the basis of disability.

Terrorism cancels New Year’s Eve in Paris.

By Daniel Greenfield.

Every year huge crowds gather in Paris at the Champs-Élysées to ring in the new year with fireworks and concerts. Much like the New Year’s Eve parties in Times Square in New York City, the joyous festivities are a key link in the chain of worldwide celebrations of the year to come.  New Year’s has been canceled in Paris. The New Year’s Eve concert was pre-recorded with actors.

No more pretending to be the audience. The fireworks will appear on TV. And there will be no one to count the countdown because the Champs-Élysées has become France’s latest ‘no-go’zone’.  Ten years ago, Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris had threatened to sue FOX News for correctly reporting that there were ‘no-go-zones’ in Paris. “The image of Paris has been prejudiced, and the honour of Paris has been prejudiced,” she fumed.  Now, Mayor Hidalgo decided that even with the 6,000 police officers that had been deployed to secure the Paris event last year, the Champs-Élysées could not be protected against Islam.

It began when Interior Minister Laurent Nunez warned that there was a “very high” terrorist threat aimed at Christmas. “Christmas markets are targets of terrorist organizations,” he revealed and cited the previous Strasbourg Christmas market attack in which an Algerian Muslim terrorist with 27 previous convictions had opened fire, killing 5 people and wounding 11 more, and the Berlin Christmas market attack in which a Tunisian Muslim refugee drove a truck into the market killing 11 and wounding 56 people as examples of possible incoming attacks.

Washington State: Man Lures Cops With Fake 9/11 Call, Stabs One

By Robert Spencer, 12/12/25, pictured here.

The jihad attack against Jews who were celebrating Hanukkah at Australia’s Bondi Beach and the ISIS murder of two American servicemen in Syria has brought renewed attention to the ongoing problem of Islamic jihad violence, and as the usual denial, obfuscation, and willful ignorance continue, it looks as if we just got more jihad in Washington state.

King5.com in Washington reported Monday that “a 38-year-old man is accused of making a false 911 call, then stabbing a responding Bellevue Police Department police officer with a kitchen knife on Friday, Dec. 12.” That man is named Mohamed Morray Bangura, which raises yet again the very real possibility that he did all this because his namesake, the prophet of Islam, commanded his followers to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5).

Bangura seems to have desired to attack some police officers and developed a plan that would enable him to do so; he has accordingly been charged with first-degree and second-degree assault, and as Monday evening, was still in jail on $5 million bail. It seems that last Friday, Bangura called 911 from the Bellevue Transit Center, a bus and light rail station. He gave the 911 dispatcher what is being described as a “fake scenario” and asked that “an officer or two” be sent to the station.
