What You Need to Be is Controlled

Michigan Senate Democrats are trying to ban making a ‘false statement or misrepresentation’ about elections. [More]

They hate the First Amendment as much as they do the Second, with every one of the sponsors also signing on to this.

Who are the idiot “third way” Republicans acting like what’s needed here is clarification instead of repudiation?

Who’s the Fascist?

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 determioned to impose it anyway.

Good for the Goose?

Don’t hold your breath.

And not to justify tyranny, but to illustrate it…

Do the Right Thing

Petition in Favor of Free Speech and the Right to Bear Arms [More]

My own thinking is you shouldn’t need the inducement of a chance to win a million bucks. I’m in Ohio and I’m not eligible.

Hopefully Mr. Musk has had a chance to reconsider some of this earlier endorsements of infringements. Maybe he will be an angel after all.

Figures Josh Shapiro would be a little snitch and b!+ch.

And as always, I never ask anyone to do anything I’m not willing to do myself:

Speaking of Foreign Election Interference…

The left-leaning British Labour Party is sending nearly 100 members to U.S. battleground states to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the presidential election. [More]

First Amendment notwithstanding, how is this not that with election laws?

Commonsense Speech Safety Laws

Biden’s executive order targets modern manufacturing processes in ways that implicate the First Amendment. [More]

So if Democrats want to ban “misinformation” and now real information, what kind of information will still be “legal”?

The good thing is, the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law…”

They’re not making it. The executive is!

‘Wrong Thinking is Punishable’

“We will hold Social Media Platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms – because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our Democracy. And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare. If you don’t police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable as a community.” [More]

I like her rebuttal to Jon Stewart better than mine.

His Masters’ Voice

Jon Stewart blasts Elon Musk for claiming the Second Amendment protects our right to free speech. “Guns don’t protect our free speech. Our free speech is protected by the consent of the governed laid out through the Constitution.” [More]

And when tyrants ignore that?

Mr. Kennedy knew. And he knew how:

Stewart’s call for obedience to his masters is about what we’d expect from the hack propagandist.

He’s always been an apologist for criminals/despots (and if Internet Archive goes back up, check out the Examiner link there).

So Much for Toning Down the Rhetoric

Hillary Clinton Says Americans Should Be Criminally Charged and Jailed for Spreading “Misinformation” [More]

And Trump and those who support his agenda are “a danger to our country and world.”

It depends upon what the meaning of the word “misinformation” is.

Who thinks we can get along with this?

Begone, Foul Creatures of Darkness!

Revealing, and emotionally satisfying, the way he dismissed these two oath-breaking machine cogs, but I’m not inclined to emulate it.

Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

City councilor’s call for downtown events to be canceled draws pushback from colleagues, Mayor Wu [More]

Let those who can’t be trusted without a custodian set the bar for allowable public gatherings… while those who can’t protect you won’t allow you to protect yourself.

And keep voting Democrat!

MolochCare You Can Trust

Massachusetts has launched a taxpayer funded campaign costing $1 million to attack pregnancy centers. Or, as the officials call them, anti-abortion clinics. The billboard says, “Get care you can trust.” The link? A government website. [More]

How is the state attacking centers offering faith-based counseling not a First Amendment violation?

As Much Respect for the First as the Second

Liam asserted that the school’s actions in May 2023 violated his First Amendment right to freedom of expression, particularly as a form of “viewpoint discrimination.” Although his speech was censored, the speech of those expressing a different perspective on the same issue was not. [More]

You’re gonna suck it and like it.

Funny, how many rainbows I see
