BREAKING: Academic Discovers Violent Crime Not Committed by ‘Law-Abiding’!

“If state lawmakers really want to reduce gun violence, the most effective policy they can enact is one that requires permits in order to purchase or possess a gun.” [More]

Don’t bother telling author Michael Siegel that “correlation = causation” is a logical fallacy. He knows.

But that trough won’t fill itself.

Because What Could Be Safer Than Utter Helplessness?

You see what they’re doing by throwing neighborhood gang shootings into the mix and leaving out schools. Lies, damned lies, and leftist ivory tower eggheads with an agenda: Is there anything they DON’T know?

What they can’t refute:

100% of school shootings occur in “gun-free zones.”

Wisdom from Wakanda

ignored him because trump & secrete service staged theatrics to win idiots’ vote🇺🇸 https://t.co/gdSs7152GE — Prof. Mokoko (@SethunyaMokoko) July 14, 2024 [More]

Lesotho, eh?

With His Majesty King Letsie III to serve as the exemplar of smarter politics…?

Yeah, sounds like ol’ Mokoko’s got a lot to teach us.

It might be fair to ask how he attained such a privileged international education coming from a land of such profound poverty, and if that might account for his self-perception of superiority…?

An Effective Combination

For the crime of running a huge survey on defensive gun use in the U.S. that was not forced into the narrative structure of today’s gun-control activism, William English, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, has been subpoenaed, attacked in The New York Times and by many other “mainstream” outlets and, basically, pilloried in order to, as he put it in The Wall Street Journal, “warn off other academics thinking of doing similar research, and to influence courts where states are losing on the merits.” [More]

Or as the Keeper always said:

If You See Something Stifle Something

Northwestern appears to have violated a U.S. law called the Clery Act by not taking and publishing police reports from students who say they were assaulted, battered, stolen from, or witnessed crimes committed by anti-Israel protesters on campus. Failure to do so would allow the university to report lower crime numbers and portray a false picture of campus safety. [More]

Isn’t recruiting under false pretenses fraud?

I guess a “private school” with snouts in the government trough figures it can get away with just about anything.

Fourth Generational Lawfare

llegal protests on university campuses have already triggered a number of legal actions, but so far the lawsuits likely to be most successful, and most effective at strongly discouraging similar criminal activity in the future – class actions brought by as few as one student or faculty member – seem to be overlooked, says a class action expert. [More]

Hoist them with their own petard.

And this may be viscerally satisfying, but I think this guy’s going to regret it.

Coming Soon, to a Caliphate Near You

The power of putting George Washington in a kaffiyeh [More]

It’s either “literally surrender” to cultural appropriation or topple, spray paint, smear, or remove it.

It’s kind of a thing with such types.

It’s what we can expect whenever such “power” is submitted to, which makes fair the question “Why would we?” or more to the point, “What’s the real agenda of those who have the power to stop it but not enough to stop us– yet?”

It all kinda makes me want to go out there and get taxed some more to “forgive” student loans…

Reign of Terror 2.0

The girl on the megaphone then accuses GWU’s Board of Trustees of profiteering off the “genocide” of Palestinians, and after the other students loudly proclaim them “guilty,” she yells, “To the guillotine!” Finally, they also call for GWU President Ellen Granberg and her apparently “f bob [haircut]” to be under the guillotine as well for “using [their] tuition dollars to fund genocide.” [More]

As a card-carrying member of the Greatest Threat, you’d think I’d want to do more than make popcorn.
