Adventures in Settled Science

Why it matters that Earth is on the brink of 1.5 degrees Celsius in warming [More]

Because it will offset the cooling…?

I’d trust more in “the science” if its practitioners weren’t so demonstrably $elf-intere$ted and overrepresented by charlatans, witch doctors, and other political narrative parroters…

MIMO

Biden released an executive order aimed at regulating the artificial intelligence (AI) industry [yesterday], which includes a provision that AI must advance the goals of “civil rights” and “equity” — aka, the left’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework. [More]

Marxism in, Marxism out…

Marching to a Different Toon

Chris Britt’s political cartoons are sometimes controversial, often outrageous and always thought-provoking. His take-no-prisoners style has been entertaining readers since 1991. A self-described liberal, Britt nevertheless delights in skewering deserving politicians of every persuasion. [More]

Can’t tell it by this. Or this.

Which side is funded by billionaires again…? The term “Astroturf” applies to the few elites who donate big, not to the legion of gun owners who donate small.

And elites control the DSM, which decides which cartoonists receive mass media promulgation.

I haven’t been this under-impressed by a mediocre, hate-filled intellectual lightweight cartoonist since Ted Rall.

We’re the Only Ones Out of Pocket Enough

A Washington, DC, 13-year-old juvenile was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking of a federal officer … One of the juveniles was “holding his hand in his front waistband pocket, as if he had a handgun,” a statement by police said. [More]

Not to say that the kid didn’t deserve it, but I wonder if the police would have made the same statement if you or I had shot and killed “an unarmed black child” and told that story.

This Moron Again

David Hogg Now Blames “White Woman In Suburbs” For Gun Violence [More]

The world appears on the verge of extended up close and personal savagery and deprivation the likes of which we’ve never seen, and this self-important retarded weakling’s demand is for jackbooted thugs to disarm the type of man he knows he will never be.

The Way Things Are

But it was not normal. It was an anomaly, a glorious one, but an anomaly nonetheless. [More]

Word:

…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?

And I loved the bit about the cat women.

Another Big Weasel Moment

The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a raid on the headquarters of Baltimore’s “Safe Streets” program on Thursday reportedly on allegations that the taxpayer-funded community program is somehow mixed up with the very gang members they are supposed to be keeping in check. The raid sent local Democrats in the city running for cover after so much of the city’s tax money has been plunged into the program that was initially meant to help quell street violence but has become an albatross for many over its lack of transparency and accountability. [More]

This seems to be a thing

Then again, criminals in charge are what the people in “our democracy” want.

The more corrupt and incompetent people are at self-government, the more they demand to govern you.

The Immunity Syndrome

When Matthew sued the judge for these egregious violations of constitutional rights, Goldston argued that she could not be sued even if she had violated the Constitution by invoking judicial immunity. [More]

Making people you persecute believe they have no legal recourse seems like an invitation to try it another way.

A ‘Pro-Gun’ Democrat

Golden: I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war like the assault rifle he used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why I now call on the United States congress to ban assault rifles [Watch]

I wonder who he b**w over at NSSF:

Delay of Game

California’s assault weapons ban will remain in effect while a court considers whether the 30-year-old law is unconstitutional. [More]

That a court thinks there’s anything to consider is our first clue that the game is rigged.

I think we all know that the Ninth Circuit is going to side with citizen disarmament and it’ll take SCOTUS strapping ’em on to get a proper ruling–provided the Republicans don’t blow ’24 and the composition of the High Court changes while the clock is running.

Not that that would settle it…

Nothing to See Here

Could I BE Any More Vaccinated? Get your shot and then get your shirt [More]

What kind of twisted anti-vaxxer would make something of that?

Remember when Rolling Stone used to pretend it was counterculture instead of a narrative parroting DSM establishment lickspittle?

Me neither.

Anyway, the answer to Matthew’s question is “No.”
