A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Russia and Iran may fuel violent post-election protests in the US, intelligence officials warn [More]

Noting it’s by AP, I read this as a preparatory contingency for after the Democrats “win” that sets the stage for provocateurs to incite some low-hanging fruit. That way, the regime can consolidate power by cracking down on the wider “greatest threat,” that is, anyone to the right of the Vichycons.

Yeah, I know, that’s a deranged conspiracy fantasy only a lunatic would conceive of.

Still, it’s curious that the administration is feeding cheerleader media allegations about Russia (again!) and Iran that can’t be independently verified.

But wait! There’s more!

Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville has appeared on national television and warned the American people President Donald Trump is planning to arrest all “males of color” if he wins the election. In addition, Carville, who served as the lead strategist on Bill Clinton’s winning 1992 presidential campaign, called for leftists to launch an armed uprising if Trump beats Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Projection and gaslighting much…?

Yeah, I must be the crazy one.

A Law Unto Herself?

A new Oklahoma judge could lose her job for sending more than 500 texts to her bailiff during a murder trial, including messages mocking the prosecutor, praising the defense attorney and calling a key witness a liar. [More]

Before kneejerk accepting AP’s spin on things, I’m wondering how much of that is subjective and if running on “vowing to defend our constitution” plays any part…

Access to Choice

What these and other recent mass shootings share in common is they all involve suspects in their teens, highlighting what can be a deadly mix of teenage bravado and impulsiveness with access to guns. [More]

Funny. Not a word about what really produces and sustains such aberrations unfit to live in a free society and allows them to flourish.

What can I say but “Associated Press“? And “DSM“?

And despite the overt attempt to convince the voting public otherwise, the problem is not — and has never been — “easy access.”

He Has Some Good News and Some Bad News

After school shooting, Tennessee governor signs bill to shield gun firms further against lawsuits [More]

That’s supposed to give him a pass on his proposed Red Queen Laws?

And note how the AP couldn’t resist injecting “gun-free zone” exploitations into the mix and right out of the starting gate…?

What’s in a Pronoun?

The shooter who killed three students and three staff members at a Christian school in Nashville legally bought seven weapons in recent years and hid the guns from their parents before carrying out the attack by firing indiscriminately at victims and spraying gunfire through doors and windows, police said Tuesday. [More]

“Their”?

How many people were in there?

Then again, we’re talking AP English.

I remember when that was a fun thing.

Adventures in Baselessness

Media pillar admits ‘potential vulnerabilities,’ ‘security challenges’ in electronic pollbooks – But Associated Press frets about possible exploitation of issues by purveyors of “election conspiracies” and continues to advocate use of the devices. [More]

So if it’s corrupt they don’t want anybody acting on it?

AP Continues History of ‘Scrubbing’ Truth on More Than Guns

It’s not like Congress can’t protect identities when there is a legitimate reason while retaining the power to compel testimony under oath. To assume Schiff and fellow Democrats are the only ones who can be trusted is an obvious political move to keep claims from being verified while the freedom of citizens hangs in the balance. [More]

The press being watchdogs was supposed to mean for the people, not for the ruling elites.

Render Unto Seizure

More than 15K “red flag” gun seizures since 2020, but AP claims the law is “barely used” [More]

Speaking of “barely used,” how about the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

And as long as we’re talking “woefully low” and “too small a pebble to make a ripple,” I wonder if anyone has compiled verifiable figures proving a documented number of saved lives attributable to “red flag” confiscations.
