Adventures in ‘Settled Science’

Co-founder Luke Isemans said the potential risks of what he is doing are outweighed by the known threat of climate change. [More]

Fanatics have no right to force any unknown risks on the rest of us. True, 2 kg is nothing, but if this becomes widespread, it would become morally justified for anyone potentially affected to stop them immediately instead of waiting years for things to unwind in court.

Too Many Chiefs

Change the Kansas City Football Team’s Racist Name and Imagery [More]

As long as we’re rabble-rousing and bellyaching

I guess they won’t be interested in the compromise mascot I offered Cleveland’s MLB team:

Speaking of the Super Bowl, as usual, I didn’t even know who was playing and when it was until the day of the game. Kansas City and somebody else.

In case anyone wants to know why

I did see a report last night that the purveyors of woke “inclusive” divisive separatism once more kicked things off with the “Black National Anthem” and once again wondered if any player taking a knee would have seen his career and his economic future destroyed, and if any fan had done it would he have made it out of the stadium alive?

Won’t You Please, Won’t You Please? Please, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

The Biden administration and Democrats in New York, Connecticut and other states are fighting local zoning laws in order to build high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. [More]

At least the odds are they’ll be shooting other Democrats for the most part…

At least at first…

Keep Your Shirt On

The complaint alleges that in Sept. 2022, just two days after A.B.’s teacher, Tom Griffin, covered students’ free speech rights in government class, A.B. was suspended from school for wearing a shirt that said “What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ do you not understand?” and featured an image of a rifle. [More]

Actually, this whole business of compulsory public education seems ripe for Bill of Rights challenges. The government, instituted among men to secure the Blessings of Liberty, is teaching our Posterity to be suspects and inmates, whose bodies are the property of the state, rather than sovereign Citizens.

And ol’ Tom sounds like a real piece of…work.

Location, Location, Location

A recent back-and-forth crime spree involved three St. Louis County teens reportedly stealing cars, which culminated in a shooting. The trio was arrested in on the eastern side of the river, where they were not going to be prosecuted. So, police brought the teens to the other side to get charges filed. [More]

And why weren’t they going to be prosecuted there?

That’s a rhetorical question.

Survey Says…

More than half of US adults support ending the sale of all tobacco products, according to a new study led by researchers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and nearly two-thirds said they support banning menthol cigarette sales. [More]

The cartels and street gangs say “Hold our beer.”

For people who say “gun violence” is a “public health issue,” they sure are good at coming up with ways to increase it.

A Government Solution

Administration, Billy Nolen, wrote to laser manufacturers and distributors on Thursday asking them to add or enhance warning labels on their packaging to increase consumer awareness of safety risks and federal laws when using lasers. [More]

Does Billy think the idiots doing it don’t already know they shouldn’t point them at aircraft?

Maybe we should raise the age to buy them to 21. That and Green Flag Laws…

Justice Jill

…Justice Jill Copeland said she was required to consider the social context of anti-Black racism and as a result, gave the young Black first offender a conditional sentence of two years less a day rather than sending him to prison. [More]

The people who indignantly posture as “anti-racists” are laughed at as fools by those they virtue signal for.

Speaking of Collusion

Earlier this month, the states of California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York and Washington each introduced bills to impose state-level wealth taxes on residents. This is not a coincidence. Politicians are deliberately coordinating with their counterparts in other states to ensure that the legislation passes in ALL of the eight states. [More]

And as Biden and the Democrats made clear last night, they don’t plan on allowing any state to opt out.

The Monster Makers

Throughout history, excess wealth has been used to salve society’s problems, funding hospitals, food banks, and building libraries to develop minds and cathedrals to lift the spirits. But increasingly, the charitable urge has shifted away from such worthy causes and, increasingly, reflects a distinct progressive agenda that seeks, ultimately, to transform lives through the expansion of state power. [More]

A lot of people will have preceded them before the rope-selling “capitalists” get theirs. The creation becoming uncontrollable and turning on the Creator seems to be a recurring theme. We’ve seen it happen with our own government and there are no indications anything stands in the way of mass bloodthirsty madness but those who will not go gentle into that good night.

Or are we supposed to be special?

Just to Be Clear

Just to be clear, there is no such thing as “constitutional carry”. The constitution didn’t give anyone the right to carry guns publicly without permits, background checks, or training. This term was fabricated by the gun lobby to push for its any guns to anyone everywhere agenda. [More]

Just to be clear, the Constitution (capitalized) does not “give” rights. That deception was fabricated by the lying citizen disarmament lobby to swindle the ignorant.

UPDATE

And just to be clear, they’re a self-admitted hate group:

Vicious Dog Pack Turns on Master

Alec Baldwin Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting: DA’s Witness List Full Of Crew Members From Troubled Indie Western As First Court Hearing Looms In Criminal Case [More]

For some reason, I’m reminded of Harvey Weinstein.

It’s funny, how people who would have literally done anything for the power player to get a job can’t turn on him fast enough when the incentives change.

There must be a lot of suppressed frustrated hatred in that business from people trained to wear a smile.

Rough Around the Pledges

Something as benign, but important, as acknowledging our Constitution and our flag, should not be controversial. Guess who opposed this? Virtually every democrat on the committee. Over an hour was spent by democrats arguing against this basic requirement of civics. [More]

It’s not like they’ll mean it when they say it any more than they did their oaths, and I have my own shared issues with the pledge. But just to make sure we know where they stand, House Dems confirmed their true colors are red.
