If We Can’t Believe Authorized Journalists, Who Can We Believe?

Trump administration altering program that was a lifeline for pioneering non-profits helping reduce gun violence [More]

They say that like it’s true and like this is news as opposed to propaganda. A look at the “reporter’s” beat and agenda tells us all we need to know.

But look at this: Asking for reader support from “progressives” apparently works.

Can the same be said about gun owners?

When Life Hands You Lemons

Actually, one of the Constitutional purposes of the Militia was “to … repel Invasions.”

If this seditious little f_ had been a “conservative” on 1/6 and talking about the Capitol Police instead of ICE, how much time do you think he’d have been sentenced for?

Speaking of Ethics in Journalism

While going through some old stuff, I came across a post about some hysterical hand-wringing by an “Authorized Journalist/real reporter” over Ohio’s permitless carry bill:

A Republican permitless carry gun law will bring Ohio more death

Reality, of course, has shown that to be utter nonsense.

I challenged the claim and the methodology behind it at the time, and invited the author to respond. Lo and behold:

I’ve learned everything I need to about you, Craig Calcaterra.

Finishing Sentences

Trump’s death penalty push gains traction in statehouses [More]

Because in addition to ignoring Constitutional checks and balances at the federal level, the president also dictates what state legislatures and governors enact…?

Democrats and legal experts say some of these efforts are unconstitutional. But Republicans…

…have no legal experts of their own to validate their position…?

Jeez, if we didn’t know better, we might think the Death Penalty Information Center is an information center, rather than apparatchiks with an agenda, where “Reports reflect an anti-death penalty stance, highlighting the negative aspects of capital punishment, supported by, among others, George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, and with a “board [that] includes the director of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and several defense attorneys.”

You know, the kind that let ’em out.

As for “racial disparities,” who’s committing the murders, and what does that say about the way Democrat policies guarantee disparities in personal conduct and accountability expectations?

Funny, “real reporter” Surina Venkat doesn’t mention she’s a “progressive”, and “conservative Fox News” just plugs in a propaganda piece from the left-leaning The Hill and calls it “news.”

A Beloved Superintendent

In Iowa, a sleepy city is moved to protest for a beloved superintendent detained by ICE [More]

“Beloved“:

You know, the illegal alien who, in addition to that and all those current weapons charges has a past that includes “criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument in New York dating back to 1996 and charges of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fourth-degree weapon charges.”

That and, surprise, he lied about his academic qualifications.

F_in’ useful idiot Democrats.

And great headline, there, “real reporter” Tyler Kingkade/NBC News/AOL!

News You Can Wipe With

Students walk out at CVPA High School, protest gun violence [More]

Well, yeah, because learning is racist.

I wonder how many have relatives in jail… Still, I can almost forgive these children because they don’t know any better and have had their views shaped from Day One by idiots, useful and otherwise — like on-camera spokesgelding Patrick Clark, who parrots the narrative right at the start, with his insipid “young people advocating for commonsense gun safety measures” lead-in.

The Non-Psychic FFL Loophole

Gun store owner says shooter who killed 2 schoolchildren showed no warning signs before attack… Westman had already passed the required background checks and had a valid permit to purchase the gun… [More]

So, if prior restraints thrown up by all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t stop him, what’s the point of saying the store guy didn’t catch any disqualifiers?

Ah, the old “You’re law-abiding until you’re not” argument the grabbers apply to all of us… And that gun manufacturers and dealers “knew or should have known”…
