All Hat and No Prattle

A Michigan school did not violate the free-speech rights of a third-grade student who was told to remove a hat that had an image of an AR-15-style rifle and the message “come and take it” in capital letters, a federal court said Friday. [More]

I’m probably going to take the unpopular view here and say the parents knew what the dress code was and let their kid be the one to take the heat for their views by challenging school policy over an issue they’re hardly developed enough to understand beyond a superficial level.

I would not have allowed either of my sons to wear that hat to school for that reason, and also because it was my job as their father to minimize risks where I could, including now the child will have to deal with the fallout from other students and teachers, and it will follow him through the system until he graduates.

There’s a reason I have never named my sons beyond the created-for-effect “feral sons Uday and Qusay,” and never posted current photos of them. Choices I have made carry repercussions and even dangers, and those are mine to bear, not my family’s. That’s also why I deliberately kept a low profile on local politics.

Change my mind.

Sounds Like Europe Could Use Some Pre-Rebellion…

Not wearing a black hooded cloak for this, I see…

The same globalists who forced “vaccines” on bodies now demand to do it to minds.

Living Proof Here

Wikipedia has designed a protocol that directly and unerringly produces the worst descriptions about conservatives and Republicans by virtually guaranteeing that right-leaning media sources cannot be cited. [More]

I’ve had readers tell me they tried to update it only to have their edits removed.

DeepSeek starts writing: “The famous picture you’re referring to is known as “Tank Man” or “The Unknown Rebel.” It was taken on June 5, 1989, during the Tiananmen…” before a message abruptly appears reading “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.” [More]

The ‘Convicts’ Tar Vanishes

US newspapers are deleting old crime stories, offering subjects a ‘clean slate’ [More]

So now it’s the job of “Authorized Journalists” to suppress relevant information. My “For ‘progressives,’ every day is Opposite Day” adage just keeps proving itself.

That’s one way for authorities to absolve themselves of the predictable results of catch-and-release.

I wonder where they got the idea from.

Today’s Five-Minute Activism

On the way back from my routine doctor visit my wife and I stopped in at the supermarket to pick up dinner fixings for tonight ( I make a very good Italian sausage and peppers if I say so myself), and one of the things I usually check is the magazine stand to see if the new issue of Firearms News is on display yet.

Someone moved magazines from other sections and placed them to cover most of the gun mags. It’s not the first time I’ve noticed and set things right.

I can just imagine the bitter, self-righteous, indignant type that has no clue what this says about her as a human being, and instead perversely justifies this to herself and other frustrated cud chewers. And yeah, I just made assumptions drawing on stereotypes. Change my mind.

The thought strikes: In addition to the other resolutions, why not make a point of checking when you’re in the store and setting things right?

The Key Word is ‘Purportedly’

Newly uncovered photos and online accounts purportedly associated with the Wisconsin teen school shooter suggest a deeply disturbing obsession with other school shooters such as Columbine killer Eric Harris — and even show her wearing a T-shirt of his favorite band. [More]

But we have no way of knowing that, do we?

I reject this excuse and this one. The evidence left by the perpetrator on social media will not change and there is no realistic way to keep names from being shared. Both the First and the Second Amendments are put at risk by accepting authorities to be the sole possessors of knowlege vital to contextualizing what they tell us.

Change my mind.

Something Must Be Done!

Health insurance companies have started removing images of their leadership teams from their websites following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. [More]

And that will do what?

Leave it to rope-selling capitalists to suggest this old Stalinist trick.

There are plenty of other ways to find out and the internet is forever.

Self-styled authorities chasing after illusions not only doesn’t work, it’s harmful.

Down But Not Out

The Era of Corporate Media Dominance Is Over [More]

It’s an attractive thought but the Deep State relying on it and its search engines burying alternative sources won’t give up so easily. And 50% of the population, by definition, is still 50% dumber than the other half, with the 30% above that still nothing to write home about.

Now look for the era of GIGO AI “fact checkers.”
