Will Men Organize to End Gun Violence? [More]

It’s unclear what the author and the magazine would be prepared to do if someone introduced them to knife violence, blunt instrument violence, or fist violence…

And not to stray too far afield, but how do “progressives” define “man” these days…?

Cashing in On Loyalty Rewards

CNN is promoting the journalist Natasha Bertrand, who wrote the 2020 Politico report on intel officials who called the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation. In other words, instead of paying a price for pushing disinformation, she is being rewarded for it. [More]

Well, yeah, because otherwise, she wouldn’t have been a team player.

This is CNN.

That’s Why They Call It ‘Selective Prosecution’

Times Square shooting suspect faces no added charges for being in a ‘gun-free zone’ [More]

No, of course not.

We’re the Only Ones Indemnified Enough

Donald Trump’s promise to “restore law and order” by indemnifying police officers “against any and all liability” appeals to that sentiment, even as it underestimates the difficulty of successfully suing police officers and overlooks the fact that cops already are routinely indemnified against damages when plaintiffs manage to overcome the barrier created by qualified immunity.

This flushing of taxpayer money will come at a time that the Democrats are simultaneously declaring that Oregon is awash in cash* and they need massive new taxes. Meanwhile Republicans have once again joined Democrats to add to Oregon’s massive employee retirement debt with another bill you and your grandchildren will have to pay for. [More]

Hey, you can’t expect tyrants to persecute you for free…

We’re the Only Ones Blasting Away Enough
