CNN Claims There Have Been ’83 School Shootings’ This Year [More]
Lemme guess: They’re using the Gun Violence Archive, which The Gun Writer, Lee Williams documents:
[A]ccording to Bryant’s all-inclusive definition, there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. The FBI says there were 30, because it uses a much narrower and more realistic definition.
Change my mind.

The guy’s a goddam gun-grabber and they gotta make stuff up about him? That’s gotta be a real Democrat dilemma, when you can’t go after him for what he’s really guilty of because you share that agenda.

There aren’t just democracies and dictatorships. There are many countries occupying a grey zone, where elections happen but harassment of the press and the opposition allows the regime to keep a vice grip on power. You can’t help but think that’s where Trump wants to take us. [Watch]
This liar again. Talking to this liar.
Talk about projection writ large…

The Biden Admin paid Reuters over $300 million in government contracts. 11 different Biden government agencies targeted Elon’s businesses. All 11 agencies paid millions to Reuters. Reuters then won the Pulitzer Prize for “their work on Elon Musk and misconduct at his businesses” [More]
I always put as much faith in their fidelity as I did in Roxanne Pulitzer’s:
So far Pulitzer or his witnesses have testified that Roxanne, 31, went to bed with a local real estate salesman, a French baker, a Belgian race-car driver, the beautiful young wife of a handsome old Kleenex heir, an alleged drug dealer and a supernatural trumpet. That’s right, trumpet. There are charges of drug use. And menages a trois. And incest. And death threats.
But what does #justablogger know, except that we just don’t hate the media enough?

After the fact, when she couldn’t be directly confronted on camera in real time, where the “real reporters” were once more proving how replaceable by AI they are…
“And people wonder why we want these executives dead”… [More]
I wonder what she wants for gun owners…
When we see it happening with things we know, like guns, it’s fair to question what else were being gaslighted on. [More]
The meme is true. We don’t hate “the media” enough.

Kwame Anthony Appiah of The Newsraper of Record evidently wants Republicans tried and either imprisoned or executed as the tribunals see fit.

Dubbed “Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act,” the broadly supported bill would ensure federal protection for journalists. It would prevent authorities from abusing subpoena powers and protect reporters from being forced to reveal their sources. [More]
I know what it’s like to live with that fear hanging over my head, so I guess my biggest question is will us “just a bloggers” have the same expectation of protection or will we have to prove ourselves eligible under the presumption that we are not?

“Mr. Labarge’s terror campaign sent ripples of fear throughout the journalism community and violated the bedrock principles enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Our office remains steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding the rights of journalists to report without fear of retribution and to put behind bars those who try to silence the media through threats and violence,” Levy said. [More]
The DOJ suddenly finding it in its self-interest to virtue signal about the Bill of Rights notwithstanding, Levy knows the First Amendment is a restraint on government, and that’s reflected in the actual charges that didn’t mention it:
…conspiracy to commit stalking through interstate travel and using a facility of interstate commerce… conspiracy to commit stalking using a facility of interstate commerce… stalking using a facility of interstate commerce and aiding and abetting… stalking through interstate travel and aiding and abetting.
Sudden interest in rights is the DOJ careerists’ equivalent of painting lamb’s blood on the door frame so the wrath of Trump passes over them. I do wonder, though, if the same amount of energy would have been spent on “just a blogger” as on “real reporters.”
Still, it’s analagous to more ways a proactive AG could protect the Second Amendment from state and municpal infringements… if she was instructed to.

The best gaslighting is just so shamelessly hypocritical it leaves sane people sputtering.

It’s just SOP for her.
I love that she’s attacking Morning Joe and WaPo in what appears to be a monomaniacal quest to make herself even more irrelevant and hated by everybody.
Then again, it looks like she realizes that:

DSM über alles!
Funny, how someone with a Bachelor of Arts in English feigns competence to make qualification pronouncements on state and defense…
And funny how the side whose vision was rejected is determined to impose it anyway.
