Pulling Up AstroTurf

Gun grabbers like New York billionaire Mike Bloomberg bankroll ballot issues that would restrict and seize our constitutional rights. SJR 2, if approved by voters, would raise the bar for passing changes to our foundational document to 60% instead of a simple majority, thereby making it much harder for out-of-state money to force their values upon Ohio. [More]

And naturally, lying Democrats who scream “Home Rule!” whenever they want to undermine preemption or impose new infringements are against Ohioans deciding on their Constitution in the face of outside money pouring in.

Eating Their Own

“We cannot send the message that you can come and disrupt democratic processes and be rewarded for it,” he said. “We cannot let this be a play in somebody’s playbook for the future that they think they can come and use these kind of tactics to come disrupt this process to get a result that they want.” [More]

Why not? It works every time you leftists want to shut down a “conservative.”

No Questions Allowed

Mere months after the Uvalde school district suspended its entire police force for failing to effectively respond to a deadly shooting at an elementary school, school officials banned a concerned parent from school property — because he questioned the qualifications of a new police hire. [More]

That’s tyranny, plain and simple.

Here’s what the new leadership is doing to ensure the safety of the children they’re entrusted with! And true to form, they limit who can comment…

Collective ‘Happiness’

Do the contours of American society — that emphasis on individualism, that spreading out with impunity over a vast, sometimes outsized landscape — encourage isolation and alienation? [More]

Come, let’s all be comrades and join the communist hive!

And if that doesn’t work, we’ll beat harder on the “Individuals are racists” drum.

This comes from the same interests desperate to reinstitute the lie that the Second Amendment refers exclusively to a “collective right.”

The falsehood of this piece is that it’s an “either/or” dichotomy, and that champions of individual liberty don’t have families, friends, tribes, networks, or belong to larger groups that share their values. They know that love is more than “feelings,” it is behaviors, including boundless self-sacrifice requiring a lot more than mere delayed gratification. In fact, the “loners” who are psychopathic mass shooters exhibit the most deadly traits of genocidal collectivists, right down to denying individual due process to their victims.

There are no group passes and participation trophies for salvation, whether you’re talking literal or metaphorical. It always comes down to personal accountability and consequences for individual choices.

At This Point, They’re Just F***ing With Us

Illegal immigrants get court dates scheduled for years in the future, allowed to stay in US in the meantime – Many migrants don’t have to appear in court for up to five years [More]

Give it another year and the wait time will double. Not that people whose first act in this country was to break its laws plan on showing up.

The politicians, officials, business interests, and string-pullers behind this state of affairs seem pretty unconcerned about personal repercussions, don’t they?

So do our “gun rights leaders”…

Must Be Getting Beat Up Pretty Bad

I like to think this played some small part in that…

Although this no doubt had more…

UPDATE

Witness who called for gun control in aftermath of Texas mall shooting lied about his actions: police – Police say Steven Spainhouer contributed to spreading ‘misinformation’ about shooting [More]

So will Shawn and Poppy correct the record or just move on to the next set of lies and hope no one dumb and biased enough to turn to them for “news” will either notice or care if they do?

What, No Thought Police?

NBC News host actually asks if anyone will be able to ‘police’ what Tucker Carlson says on his new Twitter program: ‘Or is this the point? It’s just a free-for-all?’ [More]

Nothing upsets the totalitarian-minded more than the prospect of freedom for all.

So… Black ‘White Supremacists’…?

The community meeting where people shouted ‘We don’t want them here’ and one person held up a ‘Build the Wall’ sign was a pathetic and embarrassing display of NIMBYism in a city that prides itself on its racial and ethnic diversity. [More]

As opposed to an outrageous display of arrogant elitism by privileged editorial board “progressives” who are situated above the effects on everyday people already struggling under their policies in the affected areas…

You Will Respect My Authoritah!

How can L.A. stop traffic deaths? Let civilians enforce traffic violations, study says [More]

Who thinks life will imitate art?

Going kind of fast there, weren’t you, Mr. … uh… red rags are for Bloods, not Crips, right…?

Still, distinguishing citizens from “Only Ones” by calling them “civilians” kind of brings the Founders’ “standing army” concern to the fore…
