Maybe You CAN Judge a Book by Its Cover…

Books that have sparked fierce battles in Texas schools over sexually explicit content are available through the library of the Austin church where Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico both attends and preaches. An online catalog for St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church includes titles such as “Gender Queer,” “All Boys Aren’t Blue, This Book Is Gay,” and “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”—books critics have argued contain graphic sexual content inappropriate for minors.

Cue indignant outrage from the same people who want to ban Mark Twain and Harper Lee.

SCOTUS Refusal to Address School Ban on Gun Imagery Puts Freedom 250 Art Contestants at Risk

School 2A Rights SCOTS AI CHAT GPT

Teachers have been known to report students over perceived off-campus gun concerns before, even when no cause for them existed. [More]

Submitting a historically accurate entry could run afoul of “zero tolerance” intolerance.

This is What We’re Up Against

The Guardian says that further censorship of U.S. social media companies is needed to control dissent in Europe [More]

Funny– going to The Guardian story from there and this pops up:

Bloody f_n’ hypocrite wankers.

Eviction Notice

YouTube Has Removed Big Horn Armory… The strikes came after YouTube quietly updated its firearms policy. The new version effectively prohibits the handling of firearms in videos – which means virtually everything we’ve ever published is now a violation of its standards, regardless of when it was posted or whether it complied with the rules that existed at the time. [More]

How widespread is this, really? Will we see mass content removals now? Will Hollywood be exempt?

So my family video may be in violation after all…?

Will “GunTubers” be switching to Rumble…?

Not Here for the Ratio

So that’s how they get away with it!

And their “solution”?

Then again, even blind pigs can find the occasional acorn:

We’re the Only Ones Memephobic Enough

Michigan Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard … arrested a man who posted a meme about him and the sheriff said the man was “trying to threaten and intimidate” with the meme. He then stated the 1st Amendment makes people “feel empowered, emboldened, and safe,” so he had to teach the public a lesson. [Watch]

Streisand Effect, anyone…?

LaLaLa…He can’t HEAR you…

Science Friction

…sadly, Truffaut’s picture might qualify as horror nowadays since it appears the United States has arrived at the fascist destination Bradbury warned us about. [More]

The books Bradbury championed were classics of literature and they were actually banned in his novel. There’s a big difference between that and taxpayers objecting to funding the distribution of grooming porn in publicly-financed schools and libraries. And if you’re still intent on teaching your 12-year-old how to blow other boys, we’ll always have Amazon.

Not much noise from these characters when they act just like the Farenheit 451 firemen:

Parent Marie Rothstein-Williams made a formal complaint to the school board last month, arguing that the books offended her biracial son.

And speaking ot woke science fiction, this @$$hole needs to go back to driving a Johnny Cab. His entire AI character is absurd unless you believe software would still be relevant 900 years after installed, and his real life persona is even more so unless you believe thinking that sanctimoniously preachy writing and acting sucks makes someone a racist.

Case in point:

Hey, as long as we’re talking about banning printed information…

Let the Door Hit Ya

Not so proud to be American — ‘fed up’ expats renounce citizenship [More]

They sound like guns wouldn’t do ’em much good anyway:

What a goose-like fool:

“This government is so vindictive,” the man said. “It’s such a changed country from the one I left behind.”

Yeah, cancel culture did flourish under Biden. The sanctimonious weakling oughta feel right at home with the Brit government threatening to prosecute Americans who run afoul of the speech tyranny it imposes on its subjects.

After all, they lead the world!

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

In these documents, in particular the fining decision issued on Monday, October 13th, 2025, the UK’s Internet regulator claims that its powers have supremacy over the U.S. Constitution, including the First Amendment, and U.S. law for U.S. companies and citizens engaged in constitutionally protected speech and conduct occurring exclusively on U.S. soil. [More]

I note all the extortion attempts are signed “Yours faithfully, Ofcom Enforcement,” meaning “Yours facelessly,” with the indignant martinet who has spent untold hours compiling “hamster bedding” failing to see how personally cowardly, impotent and absurd he is.

I wonder, if the client ever travels within UK jurisdiction, if he’d be subject to arrest and prosecution, and if the U.S. State Department would come to his defense.

I also wonder how I can get on the list, maybe by inviting anyone from the UK to leave a forbidden comment here…

It’s Time for Commonsense Thought Safety Laws!

New York City has filed a lawsuit against major social media companies, accusing them of contributing to a youth mental health crisis through the design and operation of their platforms. [More]

Not that I give a damn about any of those platforms, but I notice no one is saying anything about the portion shared by the Democrat government the yutes live under, the compulsory Democrat school systems that put them through 12+ years of standardized indoctrination, and the Democrat parents who vote for more of it.

Here’s what else is missing: What an acceptable platform and information would look like, especially after they elect the commie.

Admission of Guilt

Google Admits Censorship Under Biden; Promises to End Bans of YouTube Accounts of Thousands of Americans Censored for Political Speech [More]

Yeah, well I’ll believe change is real when I see it:

Speaking from personal experience, Google’s censorship of documented reporting is why I was compelled to remove my The War on Guns blog from Blogger and seek out new digs. And I’ve been documenting for some time the dwindling number of hits from Google’s modified algorithm, to where none of my AmmoLand articles, which used to be prioritized, appear on the first page of a search on the “News” tab. And that’s despite much diligent behind-the-scenes work on optimizing SEO visibility.

And even though I have a lot more exposure now, I don’t get anywhere near the site visits here that I did on the old blog.
