Notes from the Resistance
Donald Trump should not get free airtime on CNN and other news networks. Sign this petition immediately. [More]
You can’t have free elections with anyone who’s not a doctrinaire communist running because “our democracy” relies on there only being one side!
And I put in an addendum from “Ultraviolet” complaining that Facebook “fact checkers” aren’t censoring Trump supporters.
These people really don’t want any thought that doesn’t come from them being out there.
Very interesting, how four students can be overcome by one person with a knife, not a gun. [Watch]
Very interesting how anti-defensive gun use Nancy Grace can wonder about that.
Those of you who have sent in news tips on this story know I’m holding off on saying more about it until more is known.
Spivey was indicted on the charges of aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault and having weapons under disability. Cleveland police said Spivey shot and killed Delvonte King, 22, and Domonique King, 26, while they were sitting inside a car near the 16100 block of Walden Avenue. [More]
Is it fair to wonder if Spivey was outraged by George Floyd’s death because Black Lives Matter?
‘Vicious and Venomous’: Raphael Warnock Says Critics of His Church’s Evictions Are Attacking Jesus [More]
That must make anyone who questions his obstruction of a child abuse investigation a minion of the antichrist.

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?

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?

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…

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.

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.

New York: replica gun ban takes affect November 14 [More]
Do you think we should tell the “real reporters”?
I talked about tyrants of color before.
And long before that.

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.

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?

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]
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.

The detective Golubski, now 69, allegedly accepted money from Brooks, provided protection from law enforcement, and forcibly raped a young woman whose identity was not revealed. [More]
