To Be or Not to Be

Gun suicides rose 11% in past decade, linked to cities with lax gun policies: New research [More]

Because everyone knows correlation equals causation and there’s no more reliable research than the kind bankrolled by political extremists with totalitarian agendas! Especially when given glowing reviews by DSM cheerleaders!

Why, every time I think about how the town where I live hasn’t closed the “boyfriend loophole,” I just want to stick my head in the oven– until I remember it’s electric.

Feeling the Cultural Vibrancy

Sources told KGO-TV that the victim and the suspect were in an ongoing relationship. According to authorities, the young woman filed a restraining order in April against the suspect, Jose Solano Landaeta. Sources informed the news outlet that there was a history of domestic violence.v [More]

What else was there a history of?

Would it be out of line to wonder if San Carlos being a self-declared “sanctuary city” played any part? I ask because no “real news” report apparently will.

Taking a Leak

Elected officials, police chiefs on leaked Oath Keepers list [More]

The story here is really “Who leaked it?”

The feds?

In a related development:

The founder of the far-right Oath Keepers fired his attorneys on Tuesday…

The “real reporters” just can’t resist poisoning perceptions with a narrative talking point right out of the starting gate. I wonder if you asked them what is extreme about keeping your oath to the Constitution or insisting that the Uniform Code of Military Justice be enforced to ensure only lawful orders are obeyed if they’d be able to do more than babble and try to change the subject/argue non-sequiturs.

The Buyback Menace

In fact, the study said a 7.7% increase in crimes involving a gun occurred in those cities and counties in the immediate two months after a buyback. [More]

The Philadelphia Inquirer Iditorial Board has an about-damn-time epiphany of sorts, then wrings its hands and wails “Something must be done,” all the while clueless as to what that something needs to be.

Render Unto Seizure

More than 15K “red flag” gun seizures since 2020, but AP claims the law is “barely used” [More]

Speaking of “barely used,” how about the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

And as long as we’re talking “woefully low” and “too small a pebble to make a ripple,” I wonder if anyone has compiled verifiable figures proving a documented number of saved lives attributable to “red flag” confiscations.

Chippie Off the Old Block?

“I have 4 daughters that play the game, 3 at the college level. We’ve always had that occasional idiot in the crowd, but never an atmosphere like this.” — Marvin Richardson, father of Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson who was called racial slurs during a match at BYU [More]

So what, actually, was said? Be nice if there was– you know — evidence to back up the accusations. Which there apparently isn’t.

Kinda makes you wonder if ol’ Marvin is this fast and loose with dangerously prejudicial allegations in his capacity as a highly placed administration ATF mucky-muck — and why he wasn’t so identified by the CNN “Authorized Journalist.”

In the Interests of Transparency

Cover-Up: Biden Treasury Makes Move to Stop GOP From Getting Hunter Biden Records [More]

Criminal conspiracy stonewalling and cover-up from the highest circles… where have we seen that before?

Funny, how we have to learn about this from Red State and the New York Post, while all the majors only seem to be concerned with Mar-a-Lago records…

We’re the Only Ones Simple Enough

Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong had a simple message Tuesday outside City Hall in the wake of a spree of deadly shootings in the city: put down the guns. [Watch]

Expecting that to make a difference is beyond simple. It’s retarded.

As is everyone in this video, starting with the incompetent “Authorized Journalists” putting the blame on “gun violence,” every self-promoting “official” spouting blather, and every “community” moron wearing an orange shirt and nodding solemnly after each buzzword.

Aid and Comfort to the Enemy

Former Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL) criticized South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham for predicting violence if former President Donald Trump is indicted but not condemning it. [Watch]

I met this self-serving character at a Gun Rights Policy Conference where we all assumed he was a friend instead of a citizen disarmament-enabling traitor.

It’s interesting he identifies himself as someone who “escaped the MAGA cult.” What a deceptive way of smearing his countrymen who believe in traditional American principles because they foster freedom and prosperity.  This cultist ingrate has just switched over and become an “evangelist” for the dark side.

Happy shooting, kids!

Operation Demoralize

“The media swarms and lies. Tells you it’s over, wants you to give up. Happens every single time.” Don’t fall for it. [More]

Think of it as a coordinated buzzkill. Just look at what all the  Google News hits on “red wave” are suddenly and in unison telling us, and then look at the same term on prior publication dates.

None of which means the Stupid Party isn’t trying its best to blow it.

Speaking of Toxic Messengers…

Are gun advertisements in FTC’s crosshairs? Critics decry ‘toxic’ messaging as firearm sales soar [More]

If tyrants don’t respect the Second, why should the First bother them any?

It figures this subversion originated with the monopoly of violence apparatchiks over at  USA Today, a Gannett Publication

When in Doubt, Resort to Alinsky Rule 5

Is junior okay? [More]

He’s better than you, shameless apologist for fascists. A “phoenix”? Really? From the ashes of Democrat cities?

And I notice none of his legitimate concerns are being addressed. It figures the Daily News would call this a “meltdown.”

I didn’t realize HRT was involved. I remember a real meltdown I caused with one of their jackboot lickers when I asked a simple question.

The Legion of Superheroes

“Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues…” [More]

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

The other ones either suffering complex mental health issues or just being whores for their jobs are the “Authorized Journalists”  who indulge and encourage such utter nonsense by referring to a singular person as “they.”

And is/are he/they microaggressing against himself/themselves when he/they says/say “I” instead of “we”?

How many spirits does The Guardian’s Australian Deputy Culture Editor think are in there, and why is it there’s never a herd of swine around when you need one?

Meanwhile, back at the farm, it looks like he’s setting things up to become a leading anti-gun spokesman, what with leaving them lying around with kids, and a one-year-old “pick[ing] up a loose bullet [sic] and put[ting] it in her mouth.”

Other Tools Besides Banning…

Repression, Terror, Fear: The Government Wants to Silence the Opposition [More]

Making this all the more believable.

Aided and abetted by social media and the DSM. One fantasy I have is that someday, government collusion with these “private” entities to suppress truthful reporting will be proven in court and First Amendment violators, both government instigators, and their de facto “agents,” will receive the punishments they deserve.

Consider the Source

My wife is a free lance journalist and has a journslist [sic] friend in MSM that gives her access to their aggregate feed where all this stuff daily flows. She sets up searches for me in that. [More]

I’d love to believe your stats, pal, I really would, but you’re going to have to be more specific than that. I also wish we were living in a society where there is no need to wonder if you’re just trolling to see who bites and spreads fake stats. Because, like I said, I’d love to believe this.

As Long as We’re Talking AstroTurf…

The most high-profile effort has come from Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who has emerged as one of the most prominent critics of what he describes as the corrupting influence of dark money on the court. He has proposed a bill that would treat amicus filers more like lobbyists, subjecting them to registration and financial reporting. [More]

While Sheldon gets to influence as a perk.

That’s pretty rich, considering the indignation is being stirred up by a Bloomberg Machine beneficiary. You know, the same machine that has for years been quietly setting up infrastructure in the states (that means with the media keeping mum) to make legal challenges to infringements necessary…
