Point/Counterpoint

Armed with military-grade weapons smuggled from the U.S., the 50-man force is one of dozens of “autodefensa,” or “self-defense,” groups that have emerged over the past decade in Mexico to fight increasingly sophisticated cartels in areas far out of the reach of security forces. [More]

Which FFL are they getting them from?

And just to show there are two sides to every story:

We Traced How U.S. Guns Get to Mexican Cartels [More]

How come commie Antifa/No Kings types never come after cartels? Are the defenders worth siding with? Let God sort ’em out?

American guns fueling Mexican violence, so we need to curtail rights here? This looks like just what the media narrative was before all hell broke loose.

This is CNN?

MAGA-aligned billionaires Larry Ellison and his son David have dramatically won a bidding war for CNN’s parent company—and are now on track to turn it Trumpy. [More]

So we can expect it to be less “propagandisty” (yeah, I know, not a word) or at least less steered to one faction because the mega-media conglomerates and their owners care about your and my hopes and dreams…?

I’m seeing more chatter on a global power struggle between old established banking interests and the new technocrats.

“There can be only one.”

Worn Out His Welcome

Cameron Kasky… received a brutal but epic SMACKDOWN as he pathetically attempted to censor Scott Jennings [and] insured that he will NEVER again be invited to appear on CNN… [Watch]

Point of order– I’m not aware of any evidence that he is “David Hogg’s ex-boyfriend,” and suspect a sarcasm fail. Not sticking with what can be documented undermines the presenter’s credibility and redirects attention from what can be proven.

Driven to Despair

But when asked for their thoughts on safety measures, cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer readers suggested that arming drivers wouldn’t matter. “It seems some people who own guns must get trigger happy,” another wrote. “If drivers are shot indiscriminately being armed won’t help.” [More]

Kinda explains why they get their “news” from the Plain Dealer

But I will cede one point: You put your back to an assailant to impede turning around and returning fire and you’re definitely going to be at a disadvantage. So the title premise is right: It’s just not worth it.

Not that Johnny Cabs will be an improvement…

New York Times Returns to Old Playbook in Attack on Lake City Ammunition

What we’re seeing is a practical repeat of what the anti-gunners and their media amplifiers were telling the American public prior to “Gunwalker” in an attempt to swindle them out of their rights… [More]

It’s déjà vu all over again.

News You Can Wipe With

In stark contrast, the podcast highlighted Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne’s public stance supporting immigrant communities. [More]

Oh, and Chris also wants your guns. Funny how it always seems to work out that way.

What’s not funny is this in-your-face propaganda piece loaded with collectivist pejorative judgmentalism is filed under “News,” not “Editorials.”

These sanctimonious DSM shills can’t die fast enough.

We’re the Only Ones Triggering Enough

When Trump Officials’ Claims About Shootings Unravel in Court [More]

I have pretty much the same concerns expressed here.

Don’t make excuses for, and go after the bad.

By the same token, motives matter, especially where “The newsraper of record” is involved. It’s not ad hominem, it’s experience.

What the DSM fails to understand is that past and current biased actions undermine good works they may do.

Aesop told a story about that once.

We’re the Only Ones Criminal Enough?

At least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020, and their documented wrongdoing includes patterns of physical and sexual abuse, corruption and other abuses of authority, a review by The Associated Press found. [More]

By all means, expose and pursue criminality and corruption everywhere it is found, and punish the guilty as harshly as they deserve.

That said, how many sworn agents, how many convictions, and how does it compare in numbers and rates with, say, “blue” city and state LE’s — not to excuse anything, but to keep things in perspective?

Sorry, but force of habit makes me wonder about a clumsily-masked agenda every time I see the Associated Press is pushing a narrative, in this case, wanting to aid and abet illegals remaining in this country to give Democrats political dominance.

Looking at “reporter” Ryan J. Foley’s X feed, his sympathies are hardly kept close to the vest.

Follow the Money

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

So, why aren’t we hearing this from any “real reporters”?

And I could swear DOJ has some forensic accountants and RICO laws at their disposal…

Leftists on CNN’s NewsNight Blame Nick Shirley, Trump, and Racism Instead of Somali Fraudsters [More]

That’s the unified talking point you’ll see the DSM and its camp followers parroting. That and “it’s been reported on for years” (which invites the question of why it hasn’t been stopped).

Because they have incentives.

But not if Democrat politicians have their way.

And it’s not just day care centers.

“Sr. Legal Affairs Reporter, @POLITICO,” eh, Josh? A “real reporter,” not one of those “amateurs” you “Authorized Journalists” look down your noses at!
