Physician Heal Thyself

Medical mistakes kill, permanently disable 795,000 Americans a year, study finds [More]

So with 1,077,115 total active physicians in the U.S., how does that compare with numbers attributed to the estimated 45% of U.S. households possessing guns?

I say “attributed” because we know all households don’t bear equal culpability.

And the gunquacks are all in a dither about us…?

Why do motes and beams come to mind?

Survey SAYS…

Several policy proposals that would further restrict access to guns or ammunition continue to receive support from majorities of Americans. Smaller shares of Americans support several more permissive policy proposals. [More]

You know what I’ve never seen a survey of?

How much respondents actually know about the issues they’re being questioned on…

Taxation without representation… where have we heard that before?

I just wish the Founders had been as concerned with representation without “taxation”.

An Air of Disbelief

“The Toronto Sun has learned Quebec police are investigating the possibility that the smoke creating poor air quality in southern Ontario and making downtown skylines disappear may have been the result of arson… This narrative has not made as many headlines — and is polar opposite to what the likes of U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Environment Minister Steven Guibeault have been saying.” [More]

If you think they’re misdirecting now, wait ’til they find out the perp is one of their fellow environmentalcases or a “refugee”!

And Thank You for Your Service?

“Having a US military background is the single-strongest individual-level predictor of whether a subject . . . is classified as a mass casualty offender,” the study by Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) said. [More]

What it doesn’t say is what commonalities offenders share before enlisting. It also presupposes risks are evenly distributed rather than concentrated into observable subsets.

I can’t help but make the seemingly unrelated analogies that violent crime is not widespread but concentrated, and Trump is so good at firing people because he’s so lousy at hiring them.

Enemies Foreign and Domestic

Europe’s top eco-zealots are plotting a huge ‘civil disobedience campaign’ of highway blockages and disruption at ‘federal properties’ in America’s first summer of chaos [More]

Good. Let the normies see your insanity and immaturity, and its adoption by the Democrat agenda.

Don’t forget to slash more tires!

Kerry Says US Farm Confiscations Not Off the Table [More]

Just not the farms that provide tomatoes to the feedhag he attached himself to…

Remember another time farms were confiscated?

Y’know, I rely on farmers for my family’s survival several times a day. I’m trying to remember the last time I relied on a treasonous piece of parasitic sh!+.

If this results in resistance, I know whose side I’ll be on.

Or am I supposed to be afraid to post such sentiments?

At Least They’re Consistent

The political, cultural, academic, and media Elite literally promoted the idea that anybody who was skeptical about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccine was a murderer and deserved to die. Deserved to die. Not just that they were placing themselves at risk, but that their failure to comply with the diktats of others made them worthy of death. [More]

In fairness, they’re the same people who want our children to die over guns.

The Journalistic Turd in the Punch Bowl

Women are buying more guns, though studies suggest self-defense use is rare… A Harvard University analysis found people defended themselves with a gun in less than 1% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. More recently, a Stanford University study of 17.6 million Californians found that people who lived with handgun owners but did not own a gun themselves died by homicide more than twice as often as their gun-free neighbors. [More]

If what they say is true, NRA families must be self-destructing at an astonishing rate.

Somebody at Faux News decided it was important to offset reality by citing “statistics” and talking points from people who want to ban guns. Nothing like assigning such stories to a self-described “cat lady.”

Speaking as One ‘Healthy Cancer’ Cell to Another

The members of today’s Left have pushed liberty into nihilism, defining it as the right to live free from biological sex, family, tradition, and God—free from reality. They paint every inherited structure, every moral duty and social obligation, as a shackle that must be smashed, by government if necessary, so the individual can be made “free.” [More]

Damned oppressive physics…

The unasked questions: Cui bono?

And how can the protective layers be pulled back to root them out and drag them into burning sunlight?

Following the Science

I don’t suppose there’s any other common factor that careful observation could tell us might be an effective deterrent to school mass shootings…?

‘Cause’ and Effect

Firearms overtook auto accidents as the leading cause of death in children [More]

See how the sneaky bastards word it? “Auto ACCIDENTS,” but just plain “firearms,” not “firearms ABUSE.” And I’ve heard even with that the numbers are wrong.

About what we’d expect from NPR…

On top of that, how many of those “children” are hardened adolescent urban predators instead of what even Google recognizes the common understanding to be?

Take Bloomberg/Democrat enclaves out of the equation and then let’s do some comparisons.

Another Nutty Government Idea

NIH study recruiting 18-year-olds to learn ‘unknown’ side effects of testicle removal for gender dysphoria- The NIH research said the side effects of surgically removing testicles from biological males has ‘not been extensively studied’ [More]

Then again, any young man who would sign up for this probably doesn’t need them anyway.

The thought strikes that more study and testing will go into this than was used before taking the clot shot live.

The thought also strikes that the Democrat position is anyone old enough to volunteer for testicle amputation isn’t old enough to buy a gun.

So Privileged It’s Killing Us

“Men are advantaged in every aspect of our society, yet we have worse health outcomes for most of the things that will kill you,” said Derek Griffith, director of Georgetown University’s Center for Men’s Health Equity in the Racial Justice Institute. [More]

I don’t suppose “irony” is Derek’s strong suit…

Or that GSS (Gaslight Stress Syndrome) is a medical “thing”…
