Our Last Best Hope?

The 2022 Mid-Terms Exposed the Existence of Two Americas and the Overwhelming Importance of the 2024 Election [More]

Forgive me if that sounds like a combination of wishful thinking and whistling past the graveyard of history.

Republicans managed to do exactly what I consistently feared. As did their leader. “Stolen elections” notwithstanding, it was their job to make sure that didn’t happen.

And the way things are shaping up for ’24, I see no change in plans.

Got alternative ones?

When, Not If

Will the American Empire Collapse in Our Lifetime? [More]

23 years later and I still haven’t had any gun-grabber try to answer my questions:

I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

And Then They Came and They Came

More Than Two Dozen Gun Control Measures Prefiled for 2023 Session of the Texas Legislature [More]

None of them pass the Bruen “historical understanding” benchmark, but that doesn’t matter to the antis, who will never stop because they have the resources and media support to keep coming and coming and coming…

Thank You, Captain Obvious!

Study shows cash transfers from rich to poor can increase happiness of the poor [More]

So naturally, the solution for human happiness is a dependency on communists!

Just ask CBS Mornings host Tony Dokoupil!

Curious thing though– they don’t really tell us much about the qualifications of the “researchers” to fundamentally alter the governance and course of humanity.

One is this guy, who also shared his “water is wet” epiphany by concluding “Smartphone use undermines enjoyment of face-to-face social interactions,” and the other fancies herself an expert in happiness who does a mediocre job of imparting it to those taking her classes.

Reality, of course, shows us that totalitarian governments with the power to impose forced wealth transfers have historically always resulted in human misery and destitution.

As an aside, you’d think a smart guy like Jeff Bezos would realize a simple truth pointed out by John Stossel:

If the IRS grabbed 100 percent of income over $1 million, the take would be just $616 billion. That’s only a third of this year’s deficit.

For the Children

Teacher in Minnesota uses two chairs to LOCK screaming student in school closet as other kids laugh [More]

Because teachers know best.

Just ask Eric!

Put sadistic serial abusers in charge and then wonder why the weakest links snap and come back looking for revenge…

Further down on the Minnesota report there’s a video of preschool “teachers” terrorizing children with a Scream mask. Part of me can’t help but feel that a father donning a mask of his own would have been justified to show those stupid, evil bitches what terror is really like.

A Law Unto Himself

A federal judge has just blocked the Title 42 policy to expel illegals on the basis of public health. [More]

The “nonpartisan” apparatchik, nominated by Bill Clinton, reported by Joe Biden, and confirmed by voice vote, once more earns his keep.

Not that anyone so unaccountable by design is interested in what you have to say:

Information, communications, and documents other than internship applications submitted to Judge_Sullivan_internships@dcd.uscourts.gov will be discarded.

A Cultural Journey

SCOOP: Walt Disney Co. recently hosted a “cultural journey” for employees featuring a “Two-Spirit,” “she/they,” “drag queen,” “merperson” named Geo Neptune. The company is following every fad of radical gender theory, from children’s programming to pseudo-indigenous pantomime. [More]

So does “two spirits” mean he’s possessed?

And a “Master Basketweaver”? Wasn’t there a song that mentioned that?

Parents patronizing them are inviting them in and helping to spread Disney Family Values. Is this what you really want for your children?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Michigan school board appoints ‘unhinged’ 23-year-old LGBTQ+ trustee who self-describes as having ‘several mental illnesses’ [More]

Them.

Now Fly! FLY!

In an opinion piece for Scientific American, writer Bryn Nelson insinuated that my factual reporting on Drag Queen Story Hour was an example of “stochastic terrorism,” which he defines as “ideologically driven hate speech” that increases the likelihood of unpredictable acts of violence. [More]

Life imitates art…?

Such smears by agents of those who crave power and control seem to be all the rage these days.

Figures Scientific American is carrying their water.

We’re the Only Ones Losing Enough

$6,000 worth of Lincoln Police equipment stolen from officer’s personal vehicle [More]

Not having professional training, an amateur like me always locks his car.

I wonder what they mean by “other forms of issued equipment,” because the stuff they list just doesn’t add up. Of course, I also wonder why they don’t tell us the moron’s name along with who lives at the apartment complex and what he was doing there.

We’re the Only Ones Tasteful Enough

A Homeland Security agent and his friend were accidentally shot at a wine tasting in Florida when his gun fell to the ground, according to police. [More]

I need to up my training. Not being a professional, my wife and I have been going to a wine-tasting fundraiser for a group we support for many years now, and I haven’t even come close to shooting myself, let alone her along with me.

One question though: Is that what I think it is?

Anybody know if off-duty “Only Ones” are exempt?

Coming Soon, to a Democrat City Near You

The child was found in at 1 a.m. downtown Phoenix, AZ near one of the largest homeless encampment sites in the area nicknamed “The Zone.” The child was reportedly 20-24 weeks gestation and was found in the middle of the road. The baby was left near a dumpster at the encampment where over 1000 un-homed individuals live. The child was at an age where he or she could have survived outside the womb yet was not only abandoned but also burned to death. [More]

Did it hurt less than being drawn and quartered in utero?

So the new politically correct term is “un-homed”?

Sounds like we need communist bureaucrats to centrally control housing!

Playing Hobbs

Hobbs wins Arizona governor’s race, flipping state for Dems [More]

Yeah, about that:

In addition to Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona is pretty much now ruled by the high population center Democrat strongholds.

Funny… I don’t see “More Freedom” in any of the reasons the nest foulers give for moving there.

A Marked Improvement

Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer has won the open U.S. House seat in Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, flipping the district for the GOP in a hard-fought contest that drew millions in outside money to the state. Chavez-DeRemer’s victory makes her the first Latina congresswoman from Oregon, a distinction also sought by 6th District Democratic candidate Andrea Salinas. That race remained too early to call. [More]

Aside from not knowing where rights come from, this sounds promising:

Our founding documents give us the right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment is our safeguard against tyranny in the United States. We have seen the left go after our right to protect ourselves time and time again. They politicize national tragedies to argue that law abiding citizens should have their guns confiscated. Law abiding gun owners have never been the problem. Violent crime is caused by criminals. The left doesn’t want to talk about cracking down on illegal drugs, gang violence, antifa, rioting, or looting. They want to ban you from protecting yourself and your family. They want to redefine our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Washington, D.C. radicals believe in multiculturalism, moral relativism, and that socialism, “just hasn’t really been tried yet.” They want open borders, government-funded healthcare, and abortion on demand. I won’t stand for it. We must defend our rights.

Stopping 114

We are all in on this fight. Oregon Firearms Educational Foundation will use every resource at our disposal to overturn this mean spirited, evil attack on our rights in court. Period. But we have to act fast to save the many small businesses that the “people of faith” in Portland have been working to destroy. [More]

I’ll be working this afternoon on an article about this.

We’re the Only Ones ‘Gotta Catch ’em All’ Enough

Former JoCo deputy loses police license after fraudulently trying to buy Pokémon cards [More]

I wonder if I could commit a felony and get a “diversion agreement,” because I can’t tell you how many times “stress and anxiety” have induced me to rip off others…

[Via Steve T]

Start the Steal

Yes, you heard that right. We’ve been getting gaslit for months about the ‘end of democracy’, and this guy wants to completely circumvent the democratic process by replacing the president without an election, solely to increase Democrat chances of maintaining power in 2024. Never Trumpish, former conservatives are something else. [More]

On the plus side, nobody will be able to complain about the voting machines…
