The Knife Did It!
Germany Chancellor Olof Scholz is calling for greater “knife control.”
That’s right. When a Syrian Muslim illegal migrant slashed the throats of several middle aged Germans at a “diversity festival” recently, it was the fault of the knife, not the Muslim.
We’ve seen this movie before.
Now the German government wants to ban German citizens — who, let’s remember, weren’t the ones on a slashing spree — from carrying knives over 2.4 inches long. That’s down from the current ban on knives over 4.5 inches.
I wonder, will the German police start frisking German citizens to test the size of their concealed knives? What other concealed parts will they also begin to measure?
I can just about guarantee you that they won’t be measuring those Muslim “migrants” for anything, let alone the size of their Korans. That would be racist and discriminatory.
Instead, let’s have more “knife control.”
Perhaps the Chancellor should leave his kitchen knives lined up outside his bedroom door to see what crimes they will commit overnight? (But perhaps he doesn’t dare to….)
Also this week, Pope Francis called on governments around the world to welcome migrants, because it was the right thing to do. I guess he failed to consult with Cardinal Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, who as president of the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican City State, actually runs the Vatican and has authority over its immigration laws.
There are currently 618 citizens of the Vatican, and a total of 764 residents. To protect them, Cardinal Alzaga retains 104 Swiss Guards, and another 130 gendarmes tasked with ensuring “internal security.”
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying the Pope shouldn’t be protected better than former president Donald Trump. But I don’t want to live in a country where every third person is an armed agent of the government.
Even the family members of the Vatican’s Mercenary Army don’t get to keep their citizenship forever. Once their children turn 18, they become stateless.
How’s that for Christian charity?
You’ll be relieved to note that another week has gone by without a major regional war in the Middle East, just your average bombings and missile strikes and Israeli raids to catch terrorists plotting to kill Jews. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency tells us that the Iranian regime continues to enrich uranium to 60%, which is essentially weapons-grade.
I’m sure you will be especially relieved to learn that Kamala Harris’s presumed Secretary of State nominee, Philip Gordon, helped negotiate the failed 2015 Iran nuclear deal and has co-authored opeds with members of the pro-Tehran lobby in Washington, DC. More about that in my upcoming book, The Iran House.
But hey, no one cares until Labor Day, right?
Until then, I remain yours in freedom,
