A Public Health Crisis

Dr. Eric Fleegler of Boston Children’s Hospital, one of the authors of a study looking at firearm-related deaths in the United States, observed that it took coronavirus just a “couple of years” to kill as many people as died in firearm-related incidents over the past three decades. [More]

Maybe we need some “commonsense pandemic safety laws,” like background checks and a ban on assault inoculations…

I notice no Democrats are demanding to sue the manufacturers…

I Beg to Differ

Unfettered democracy and markets cannot be controlled by a tiny, self-serving elite. [More]

Sure they can. What does this guy think “two wolves and a sheep” and woke corporate struggle session cancel culture abrogating rights government isn’t ready to take on yet are all about?

We Don’t Cotton to Your Kind Around Here

Just over a month after an associate dean at the University of Kansas School of Law labeled a speech that had yet to be given “hate speech,” Justice Caleb Stegall resigned from his teaching position at KU Law over the controversy. [More]

So they didn’t beg him to come back and fire the other guy?

No, of course not. Why undo all that work once a plan has come together?

There’s a ‘Cunning Runts’ Joke in Here Somewhere…

The question, “Why do conservatives equate the inclusion of transgender female athletes as an attack on women’s sports?,” prompted backlash from a Twitter user, known as Lauren, who attacked the paper’s “journalistic integrity.” [More]

You not only can’t talk about it. You can’t ask about it.

Hey, it’s not me being painted into a corner…

Stranger Than Fiction

“In my view, Twitter now is jumping to the front of the queue of the regulators,” Věra Jourová, the European Commission’s vice president for values and transparency, told POLITICO. [More]

And here Kurt Vonnegut thought he’d pushed the edge of the absurdity envelope with Diana Moon Glampers…

Funny, what happened to all those “progressives” who used to smirk at canceled “conservatives” and say “Twitter is a private company. It can do what it wants. If you don’t like it, start your own company.”

It’s also revealing how their political machine is so significantly funded by unions, where the members don’t do that, but instead, use the government to coerce changes in practices/wealth redistribution.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Washington Goes to War Against Twitter and Free Speech [More]

Those who do their dirty work in the dark fear the light.

‘What is It You Want Us to Do?’

The anti-humanist future and the transhumanist future are opposites in most ways. But both are worlds from which human beings have disappeared, and rightfully so. [More]

The Atlantic said it, I believe it, that settles it!

And what better way to start the process than by convincing the least intellectually fit among us that “commonsense gun safety laws” and a centrally-controlled “monopoly of violence” are for their own benefit?

You notice the purveyors of such genocidal dreams never seem to off themselves to show the rest of us the way…?

Oh, and here’s the answer to the title question.

The War on Truth

“We were censored, shadowbanned, deplatformed for sharing stats, facts and scientific data taken from the government’s own websites about COVID-19 — the same facts the current director of the CDC, Fauci, and others are now saying are true after two plus years of denying these facts. We were right all along”… [More]

A Latin phrase comes to mind.

With Friends Like These

The indictment against Cory Davis, 41, was unsealed Monday, weeks after he sent a photo of his young son holding two of the weapons to a group chat with family and friends on Nov. 7, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said. The photo alarmed one of the recipients, who notified the NYPD, and sent it the snap, prosecutors said. [More]

So they got a man who’s an absolute danger to no one “off the streets”…

I’ll bet whoever the Nazi snitch turns out to be was pleasant Thanksgiving company. One can only hope they are outed and shunned, for starters…

There is No New Thing Under the Sun

Netherlands to Shut Down Thousands of Farms to Comply With EU Climate Demands [More]

Centrally-planned famine? Where have we seen that before?

You wonder at what point the victims will have nothing left to lose by fighting back.

No worries. In the words of Greta, “Let them eat bugs!”

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

The Biden administration doesn’t want them to have to starve to death all by themselves…

Round ’em Up First, Due Process Later

Mayor Adams directs NYPD, first responders to involuntarily take mentally ill to hospitals [More]

Just think of the “progressive” possibilities… Hey, don’t overlook the “hater loophole”!

Funny thing about once you start turning a blind eye to due process…

A Right Delayed

Redwood City approves temporary ordinance prohibiting gun shops [More]

“Temporary” as it can go on for two years and then they’ll enact another one.

So the majority can deny rights to minorities– just like the “good old days”?

What did Dr. King say about “justice delayed”?

Show me the prospective store owner with the resources to fight it. There are “historical understanding” grounds, you know:

This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.

But a prospective gun store owner can’t afford to stage an extended challenge. How about it, FPC and/or CRPA?

Life Imitates Art

“It tells me all I need to know. And that is, just because it’s legal does not make it the right thing. I tell people all the time, the institution of slavery was legal, but it was not right. Just because they purchased these weapons legally does not mean that’s what the law ought to be.” [More]

This moron is literally saying freedom is slavery.

Disinformation You Can Trust!

Biden’s Former ‘Disinfo’ Czar Registers As Foreign Agent [More]

Time was if you tried to make stuff like this and this up about influential people in government, everyone would dismiss it because it’s too unbelievable even for absurdist fiction.

And that’s coming from a guy who’s read lots of Vonnegut.

A Rhetorical Question

White supremacist rhetoric online, including the promotion of racist conspiracy theories, has been linked to Gendron and his motive behind the Buffalo attack… [More]

The goal here is not just to disarm the citizenry– it is to reduce allowed speech to that which won’t trigger the lowest common denominator sociopaths, meaning to eliminate any but approved speech. It’s the same crap the Bloombergians are pulling on Daniel Defense.

I don’t suppose it’s in anyone in power’s interests to focus instead on those who can’t be trusted with words…?

Illegal Collusion and Restraint of Trade by Any Other Name

Elon Musk Confirms Apple Is Threatening Twitter’s Presence In Its App Store – “Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why” [More]

We know why.

Maybe Elon should ask woke Tim Cook if he gave any consideration to minorities being able to get concealed carry permits with the same level of attention he was able to get by bribing a corrupt sheriff to sign off for his private security detail.

That ain’t the half of the corruption and I may just revisit this in an article…

Birds of a Feather

Warnock’s former church repeatedly hosted antisemitic, Black supremacist professor – Leonard Jeffries, uncle of Dem. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, espoused Black nationalist views popularized by Louis Farrakhan [More]

Why does that not surprise me that such in-your-face Marxist bigots are who “progressives” would support?

Or that none of them are concerned about Warnock obstructing a child abuse investigation?

We couldn’t get ’em riled about one of theirs pulling a gun on an unarmed black jogger, either…

It’s almost like they don’t really believe in the sh!+ they espouse but just say it to trick the stupid into voting for them.

Support for Jeffries Signals Hard Left by Democrats after Midterms

With a radical like Jeffries on track to be the House Democratic Leader, look for even more outrageous efforts to subvert the right to keep and bear arms than even Nancy Pelosi (who at times tried to keep a lid on the next generation), was able to propose. [More]

The real question is will he be radical enough to where even Clown World Republicans know better than to “compromise” and cave?

Wrong on Rights

Dem Rep. Garamendi: ‘The President Is Absolutely Correct, No Assault Weapons’ [More]

This coming from an old subversive who says the way to stop the influx of drugs and criminals is to forget border security, where tens of millions have illegally crossed, and focus on the Coast Guard.

[Via bondmen]

Base Motive

The Las Vegas Democrat who is accused of fatally stabbing a journalist who exposed his martial affair was allegedly told by his mistress that photos revealing their tryst were set to come out hours before the killing. [More]

But he seemed so “reasonable”…

In retrospect, it hardly seems surprising that a gun-grabbing Democrat’s own family couldn’t trust him.

Getting What They Voted For

The store’s owner Marcy Landolfo said that after 15 break-ins over the last year and a half, the business can’t survive the financial burdens the crimes have cost the shop. [More]

So, Marcy… if I made a bet that you’re a Democrat with “progressive” sympathies who favors “commonsense gun safety laws,”, would I lose?
