Over the last half-decade, Low-Power Variable Optics (LPVO) have exploded in popularity. Although the ever-popular red dot and magnifier combo still remains popular and perhaps a favorite for many, there is no disputing the LPVO platform has many advantages and unique capabilities and applications with regards to shooting. SIG Sauer invited me out in November […]
Former Governor of Missouri Eric Greitens made a stop in Phoenix, Arizona Tuesday to visit Arizona State Legislators on his way to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Governor Greitens is running for U.S. Senate in 2022 and he is monitoring the crisis at the border and formulating a plan to end it.
Greitens met with Arizona Legislators to learn more about the Arizona audit situation and discuss the next steps in fixing our elections before the left can steal another.
The last time he was in Arizona, Governor Greitens toured the Arizona audit floor and he told TGP, “they’re showing the country the way to do a proper audit.”
The audit found that hundreds of thousands of ballots were likely fake and many were illegally cast in the 2020 election. All findings have been turned over to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich.
The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson spoke to Eric Greitens and Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers at the Arizona Capitol.
Conradson: The last time you were here you said “no ballots, no victory.” It seems that they found those ballots, but they seem to be fake. The mainstream media is running with “Biden won, the ballots are there.” But what do you think of the Arizona audit results, do fake ballots equal victory?
Greitens: Here’s what patriots know, is that thanks to the patriotism and the courage of State Senator Wendy Rogers, thanks to the patriotism and courage of State Senator Sonny Borrelli, and their colleagues who fought to get this audit done. We now know the truth. The left claims that Joe Biden won by 10,000 ballots. Here in Maricopa County, it’s only one county in the state of Arizona, they found over 50,000, illegal ballots. These are illegal ballots and it’s very clear what needs to happen, and that is that we need to recall the electors in Arizona. They need to be decertified. Why? because this was an election that was rife with fraud and illegal ballots and again thanks to Senator Rogers, we now know the truth.
Conradson: So you just met with State Senator Rogers, Boris Epstheyn, and State Representative Mark Finchem. What did you guys talk about?
Greitens: Well, the last time I was here, I came down to the front lines to see the incredible work that these patriots were doing, leading the country to get to the truth about what happened in the 2020 election. And it was an exceptional audit, I believe that it was the most intense, thorough, clear, and transparent audit in the history of our republic. Now we’re here talking in detail about what they found, and also perhaps most importantly about next steps. State Senator Rogers is continuing to lead, she’s got a letter that’s being signed by State Reps and State Senators around the country. And I’ll tell you this, we need to have every state Rep. and Senator not just in Missouri, but around the country who believes in election integrity, go out and show that you’re serious, go out and show that you support President Trump, go out and show that you support the America First movement to get to the bottom of our elections, by going out and signing Senator Rogers’ letter. That’s what needs to happen. We’re talking next steps now.
Conradson: Senator Rogers, what’s it gonna take to decertify this election?
Rogers: We have to get everybody on board. We’re making progress every day. As Governor Greitens mentioned, my phone is blowing up now with state senators and state representatives from so many other states who want to get on board, who want to get on the right side of history. They know this snowball is coming down the hill. They know what we’ve shown here in the Arizona audit, and more is going to come out, I’m sure with Attorney General Brnovich’s findings, possibly of criminal misconduct. And so this is all coming out, and no matter how much the truth is being attempted to be suppressed. The media out there, that gets the truth out, your media, The Gateway Pundit, and all these other sources of conservative truth investigative information flow out there, add up to more than the followership of Fox News. The truth is knocking at the door every day, and so it’s our job to stay at the forefront and get the truth out.
Greitens:And I think just to add to that, one of the fantastic things that’s happening is because the Gateway Pundit is covering this story. Because true conservatives and Patriots are covering this story, and because we’ve had leaders who’ve been willing to get the facts out no matter what the mainstream media tries. No matter what the regime propaganda press tries, no matter how the left tries to suppress the truth, the truth is getting out and today, more Americans than ever before are demanding that their elected leaders stand up and demand election integrity. So folks, We are winning this fight, stay on board, stay engaged and keep pushing for the truth.
Conradson: How do we the people of Arizona call our state legislature into special session to decertify?
Rogers:We keep the pressure on. We do everything we can to continue to call for a special session. I have called for a special session. And so again, it’s keeping the pressure on, keeping it in the news, and making it something that’s incontrovertible you have to do it.
Greitens:And we also need to recognize, the problem isn’t just from the left who is often, and their mainstream media allies, who so often lie. The problem can also come when you have weak, woke Republicans who aren’t willing to do what their constituents want, which is simply to get to the bottom of the truth, to really find out what happened. That’s all people are asking for is that we do a full audit, and make sure that we get to the bottom, not just here in Arizona, but we need to follow the lead of what’s happened in Maricopa County, and this needs to get done in Michigan, in Georgia, in Wisconsin, in Pennsylvania, it needs to happen in Missouri. In all 50 states, we need to have these audits so that we can restore election integrity.
Conradson: Governor Greitens, you’re going to go see another horrific result of this fraudulent election down at the southern border. You’re gonna go witness them crossing the Rio Grande* River, firsthand. What is your plan to secure the southern border as the next US senator from Missouri?
Greitens: The last time I was here in Arizona and we went to the front lines of the audit in Maricopa County, I also went out in Arizona, went out with wall enforcement, and I saw with my own eyes. The way that the Biden administration has turned our border over to Mexican drug gangs and cartels. It is absolutely disgusting. What we need to do is we need to return to President Trump’s policies of having strong, America first leadership, with a secure border. We need to return to the policies of supporting our law enforcement, men and women who are down there on the front lines, And we need to return to those principles of law and order and respect for the law in the United States of America. That’s what we need to do, return to President Trump’s policies so that we can avert this incredible disaster that Joe Biden has created over 200,000 people a month are crossing illegally into our country.
Governor Greitens is committed to fighting for election integrity and border security. His top priority is fixing 2020 because we have already lost our country.
We need to hold the weak, woke RINOs who are preventing free and fair elections accountable.
Support Governor Greitens for U.S. Senate here, and sign your name to protect the Arizona election audit.
Decertification of the Arizona Presidential election will require a special session in the Arizona Legislature to recall the electors.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is terrified of the results and he has already spoken out against decertification. Therefore, a special session will require 2/3 of both the House and the Senate to vote in favor.
Contact your Arizona legislators and demand their support for a special session to decertify this fraudulent election.
Contact Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and demand criminal investigations.

Contact your Arizona legislators and demand their vote for a special session and to decertify this fraudulent election.
The Biden Regime dropped the iron fist on the private sector last month and required all employees get jabbed or tested weekly for Covid… OR ELSE.
In addition to telling all 2.1 million federal employees to get jabbed in by the end of November or face firing, the Biden regime is forcing all companies with 100+ employees to either test workers or prove they are vaccinated.
Small businesses that do not comply with the Biden Regime’s new Covid mandates will face hefty fines.
Democrat governors have also imposed vaccine mandates on teachers and healthcare workers.
Attorney Roger Gannam, VP of Legal Affairs at Liberty Counsel, discussed lawsuits in New York and Maine and what you can do if your employer is demanding you get the jab during an interview on Rose Unplugged podcast.
Roger Gannam said the vaccine mandates in New York and Maine violate the Constitution because there are no religious exemptions.
Australia is lost. There is no going back to normal now.
Australia is running a mandatory quarantine program where you must respond to authorities with a selfie within 5 minutes of them calling or they will send health ministers to your home.
This is what happens when they take your guns.
9 News Reporter: Today the call has gone out to everyone in home quarantine in Victoria to take part in a pilot program. And what that means is they will receive random phone calls and they will have to answer within five minutes with a selfie sent to an app which will then geo-track where that person is and to make sure they are who they say they are as well. If they don’t answer within the five minutes that’s when health ministers come knocking.
Florida’s governor DeSantis won’t put up with a corrupt Biden Attorney General. He politely told AG Garland that Florida will stand up for the free speech rights of its people.
Last night Biden’s corrupt Attorney General instructed his political and corrupt FBI to go after concerned American parents who speak out against the racist critical race theory or the deadly COVID mandates in schools.
Biden’s gang is more like a communist or nazi regime than any prior Administration other than Obama’s. This is why many Americans believe Obama, George Soros or China, are running this fright fest.
While Garland spoke about “threats,” he didn’t identify any threats or concerns which would qualify as federal criminal action requiring such interference in the parents’ rights to express themselves. Indeed, the announcement seemed like an effort to basically chill their rights to speak. Normally, if there was any actual “threat,” it would come within the purview of local law enforcement. There’s no requirement to make what would already be illegal more illegal. So what actually are they saying here? What’s actually happening with this edict from the Biden Administration?
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has championed the rights of parents to speak on behalf of their own children — something that should be self-evident and unquestionable — threw down the gauntlet, speaking out against this troubling announcement from Garland.
In response to Garland’s communist action, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shared:
Attorney General Garland is weaponizing the DOJ by using the FBI to pursue concerned parents and silence them through intimidation.
Florida will defend the free speech rights of its citizens and will not allow federal agents to squelch dissent.
Welcome everyone to the 113th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has […]
Garland directed the FBI and U.S. attorneys in the next 30 days to convene meetings with federal, state, and local leaders within 30 days to “facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff,” according to a letter (pdf) the attorney general sent on Monday to all U.S. attorneys, the FBI director, the director of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys, and the assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s criminal division.
According to the DOJ, further efforts will be rolled out in the coming days, including a task force that will determine how to use federal resources to prosecute offending parents as well as how to advise state entities on prosecutions in cases where no federal law is broken. The Justice Department will also provide training to school staff on how to report threats from parents and preserve evidence to aid in investigation and prosecution.
“In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools,” Garland wrote.
“While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.”
School boards across the nation have increasingly become an arena for heated debate over culture, politics, and health. Parents groups have ramped up pressure on boards over the teaching of critical race theory and the imposition of mask mandates. The debate is split sharply along political lines, with Democrats largely in favor of critical race theory and mask mandates, and Republicans opposing both.
The amount and severity of the threats against officials are not known, but Garland’s letter suggests the phenomenon is widespread.
Full AG Garland Statement (with our thoughts):
MEMORANDUM FOR DIRECTOR, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION; DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR U.S. ATTORNEYS ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, CRIMINAL DIVISION UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS
FROM: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: PARTNERSHIP AMONG FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, TRIBAL, AND TERRITORIAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ADDRESS THREATS AGAINST SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, BOARD MEMBERS, TEACHERS, AND STAFF
In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools. While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.
[ZH: But intimidating parents who dare to have the view that the nation’s founding fathers and the founding documents are not in fact systemically racist and does not want their children taught that is the case is ok?]
Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values. Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to he able to do their work without fear for their safety.
[ZH: “Dedication” to a “proper education” is admirable; indoctrination in Marxism is not]
The Department takes these incidents seriously and is committed to using its authority and resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate. In the coming days, the Department will announce a series of measures designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel.
[ZH: What exactly is the crime?]
Coordination and partnership with local law enforcement is critical to implementing these measures for the benefit of our nation’s nearly 14,000 public school districts. To this end, I am directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation, working with each United States Attorney, to convene meetings with federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial leaders in each federal judicial district within 30 days of the issuance of this memorandum. These meetings will facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff, and will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response.
[ZH: We wonder how many local law enforcement officials, while busily watching for vaccine passport offenders, and mask-mandate refusers, will acquiesce to enforcing these new laws to protect the very people who are preaching that America’s systemic racism starts with the men (and women) in blue?]
The Department is steadfast in its commitment to protect all people in the United States from violence, threats of violence, and other forms of intimidation and harassment.
[ZH: Presumably intimidation and emotional harassment of young white boys and girls for their ‘whiteness’, privilege, and systemic racism is beyond that ‘protection’?]
As Chris Rufo (@RealChrisRufo) tweeted: “The Biden administration is rapidly repurposing federal law enforcement to target political opposition.”
The Biden administration is rapidly repurposing federal law enforcement to target political opposition.
They want to reclassify dissent as “disinformation” and “domestic terrorism,” justifying an unprecedented intervention, both directly and in partnership with tech companies.
“Neither the Attorney General’s memo nor the full Justice Department press release cites any significant, credible threat. This is a blatant suppression tactic, designed to dissuade citizens from participating in the democratic process at school boards.“
Parents have led the charge against controversial issues such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), masking mandates and vaccine requirements.
CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet it teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth, and the adoption of race-based policies.
This is Courtney Ann Taylor, a mother in Georgia. She’s one of the many parents who’ve HAD IT with mask mandates, especially for young kids in school.
In Loudoun County, Virginia, two parents were arrested in June for trespassing while protesting CRT and a transgender policy at the school district because they refused to leave the rowdy meeting that was declared an unlawful assembly.
In July, a man was arrested at a school board meeting and charged with a felony because a gun reportedly fell out of his pocket, the Indianapolis Star reported.
In Utah, 11 anti-mask protestors were arrested on misdemeanor charges for allegedly disrupting a school board meeting in May, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. The protestors entered the school board meeting and shouted obscenities, which resulted in an early end to the meeting.
I don’t like adding to your doomscrolling, but Hillary is right. A slow-motion coup is underway.
Democrats are mired in learned helplessnes & exhaustion.

Senator Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) tweeted his thoughts:
“Parents are speaking out against Critical Race Theory in schools. Now the Biden administration is cracking down on dissent.”
During last week’s Virginia gubernatorial debate, Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe promised that as governor he would prevent parents from removing sexually explicit books from school libraries, because he doesn’t think “parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”
McAuliffe’s disdain for parents who think they should have some say in their children’s education is shared by most “progressives,” as well as some who call themselves conservatives. They think parents should obediently pay the taxes to fund the government schools and never question any aspect of the government school program.
School officials’ refusal to obey the wishes of parents extends to the anti-science mask mandates. Mask mandates are not only useless in protecting children from a virus they are at low risk of becoming sick from or transmitting, the mandated mask-wearing actually makes children sick! Yet school administrators refuse to follow the science if that means listening to parents instead of the so-called experts.
Replacing parental control with government control of education (and other aspects of child raising) has been a goal of authoritarians since Plato. After all, it is much easier to ensure obedience if someone has been raised to think of the government as the source of all wisdom and truth, as well as the provider of all of life’s necessities.
In contrast to an authoritarian society, a free society recognizes that parents have both the responsibility and the right to provide their children with a quality education that reflects the parents’ values. Teachers who use their positions to indoctrinate children in beliefs that contradict the views of the parents are the ones overstepping their bounds.
Restoring parental control of education should be a priority for all who believe in liberty. If government can override the wishes of parents in the name of “education” or “protecting children’s health” then what area of our lives is safe from government intrusion?
Fortunately, growing dissatisfaction with government schools is leading many parents to try to change school policies.
“This is a coordinated attempt to intimidate dissenting voices in the debates surrounding America’s underperforming K-12 education – and it will not succeed. We will not be silenced.”
This morning, a so-called whistleblower testified in front of Congress in what appears to be a staged attempt to crackdown even further on what you can and can’t see on the internet. […]
For some reason, Joe Biden traveled to Michigan on Tuesday to speak to a small unenthusiastic crowd at a union hall.
During his speech, Joe Biden slurred his words, mumbled about Grandpop and a “jargee station” (no idea what he meant there), slurred his words and then finished off spouting some gibberish.
Joe was in peak form.
It was another amazing performance.
Sheriff Joe is the secure border mayor that Fountain Hills needs to remain a peaceful, quiet town, and to help Arizona fight against smuggling at the border.
Now, more than ever, strong mayors are needed to defend the Constitution from tyranny on the local level.
