What Did They Think was Going to Happen?

Outraged New Zealanders are planning major anti-government protests in coming weeks in response to the Ardern government’s handling of the pandemic, which after two long years of drastic policies, failed to keep the virus out, with the public now feeling the economic fallout. [More]

Yeah, well, until they’re outraged over her taking their guns, I gotta go with Tommy Lee on this.

A Burgeoning Streisand Effect

Richmonders demand answers about alleged mass shooting plot: ‘We don’t deserve to be shut out’ – ‘This is something that could have affected every single person in this neighborhood’ [More]

Welcome to the clam bake.

Am I wrong to suspect when this is all said and done, somebody could end up disgraced and out of a job?

A Tempered Victory

…Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced a victory in its Campos v. Bonta lawsuit, which challenged policies and practices of California Attorney General Rob Bonta and his Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Firearms that delayed firearm transactions beyond the statutory 10-day waiting period absent a legal basis. [More]

Who thinks these guys wait 10 days?

Probing for a Vulnerability

The head of the preeminent scientific journal The Lancet’s COVID-19 origins Commission is ‘convinced’ that the virus came out of a lab and says that a real investigation is being blocked. [More]

Quick– what can we find to discredit him? Barring any easily disprovable accusations, we can always fall back on him being white, and therefore a de facto racist.

Oh, crap, he’s a Bernie supporter. Now, what do we do?

Maybe we can exploit the fact that he’s married to a woman

Doing the Job Truthful Americans Won’t Do

A careful review of the official transcripts of its eight long hearings shows the committee repeatedly made connections that weren’t there, took events and quotes out of context, exaggerated the violence of the Capitol rioters, and omitted key exculpatory evidence otherwise absolving former President Donald Trump of guilt. While in some cases, it lied by omission, in others, it lied outright. It also made a number of unsubstantiated charges based on the secondhand accounts—hearsay testimony—of a young witness with serious credibility problems. [More]

So who are you going to heed to form an opinion on Liz Cheney? These guys or Kevin Costner?

Consider the Source

My wife is a free lance journalist and has a journslist [sic] friend in MSM that gives her access to their aggregate feed where all this stuff daily flows. She sets up searches for me in that. [More]

I’d love to believe your stats, pal, I really would, but you’re going to have to be more specific than that. I also wish we were living in a society where there is no need to wonder if you’re just trolling to see who bites and spreads fake stats. Because, like I said, I’d love to believe this.

More Than a Feeling

“So, yes, I understand the Second Amendment. I understand, you know, bearing arms, but we also need to make sure that we can ensure that folks feel safe in their communities.” [More]

Feelings. Nothing more than feelings.

Seeing as how the ones doing the killings aren’t eligible to take advantage of the open carry law, I don’t suppose there are any, you know, individual choices your congregants could make that would have more of an effect…?

And that’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, pastor.

Speaking of ‘Deplorable and Dangerous’

FBI Director Wray pushes back on threats following unprecedented raid on Trump [More]

Channeling his inner Hillary, is he?

Why not? He’d channeled his inner Blumenthal before he was even confirmed.

Be very suspicious of anything you hear in the media attributable to anonymous sources. The supposed leaks from unidentified persons supposedly with knowledge are either FBI/DOJ whispering in the ear of reporter-scribes which may or may not reflect reality, or people who don’t have actual knowledge, or sources who exist only in the imagination of the reporters. It’s all an unreliable web of deception. [More]

The best gaslighting uses coordinated narrative talking points.

The only way to fight back is to make the kinds of people who’ve weaponized and undermined the American state suffer for their actions. They’ve arrested their enemies, revived obscure rules as pretexts for partisan attacks, and raided their opponents’ homes, and they won’t be sorry until they’ve felt the same pain. [More]

Or worse.
