Lottery Winners for Totalitarian Overlords

Billie Eilish, Sheryl Crow, Niles Rogers, Bootsy Collins, and other famous musicians released a video under the banner of “Artist for Action to Prevent Gun Violence” in hopes of securing more gun control. [More]

Pop musicians: Can there be a better group to take moral guidance from?

YouTube viewers — the few they can attract — aren’t buying it.

Acting on Russell Brand Accusations without Proof Draws Parallels to ‘Red Flag’ Confiscations

And in Brand’s case, the public furor being incited may be more about leftist policies he opposes, like Covid “denialism” now being painted as a “right-wing signaling trope.” He’s left the reservation. It’s too dangerous to let a previously favored mass influencer do that. [More]

It’s not about self-absorbed celebrity narcissists. What they can do to anyone based on unproven allegations they can do to you and me.

Ain’t That Un-American?

“All I’m saying is that a good place to start is to get these f—king guns away from people,” Mellencamp exclaimed. “Just because it’s the Second Amendment, change this– and people go, ‘You can’t change the Second Amendment.’ F—k you can, it’s an amendment. Change it.” [More]

You come get mine, Melonballs. You can even bring your “personable, burly” bodyguard.

That is if your knees straighten out.

What an @$$hole.

Survey SAYS…

Poll Shows How Radically Different Americans’ Opinions Are From Liberal Corporate Media Narratives [More]

You’ve got to admit, the mobs carting useful DSM idiots, rope-selling capitalists, and purged celebrities and One Percenters off in tumbrels would have a certain schadenfreude to it if it didn’t mean we’d also be up to our necks in it…

Must Be Getting Beat Up Pretty Bad

I like to think this played some small part in that…

Although this no doubt had more…

UPDATE

Witness who called for gun control in aftermath of Texas mall shooting lied about his actions: police – Police say Steven Spainhouer contributed to spreading ‘misinformation’ about shooting [More]

So will Shawn and Poppy correct the record or just move on to the next set of lies and hope no one dumb and biased enough to turn to them for “news” will either notice or care if they do?

The Re-Re-Release

Steven Spielberg says he regrets editing guns out of ‘.E.T.’ [More]

That didn’t bother me as much as Saving Private Ryan.

What a hypocrite:

Spielberg’s involvement is also curious, because per a 2008 report in GQ, actor Shia LaBeouf revealed the director “has the most ridiculous collection. He’s got a gun for every movie he’s made. He buys old Perazzi guns, Italian—beautiful, beautiful guns—and gets them engraved. It takes like a year. He’s got the Jaws gun; he’s got E.T. He let me shoot with the Jurassic Park gun. He just got his Saving Private Ryan back from the engraver’s.”

Sure as Shooting!

Charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his Western movie “Rust” after “new facts” surfaced in recent days, officials said Thursday. [More]

Thank goodness! Now he can get back to lecturing the rest of us on “commonsense gun safety laws”!

In the absence of evidence showing deliberate misbehavior on the part of the armorer, would it be out of line to wonder how much those “new facts” cost?

The ‘B’ List

Amy Grant, Sheryl Crow and other top artists push lawmakers for gun reform measures [More]

I don’t get around much these days. At least I’ve heard of the CMT useful idiots I wrote about here. But this group?

I know that more than Crow’s music stinks, not that I wanted to. As to the rest, sorry, I guess there are more significant people for me to focus on.
