Laying the Minefield

George Stephanopoulos recently appeared on CNN with host Abby Phillip and advised the network on going after Donald Trump in the first debate. This is the political director of ABC News advising another media outlet on how to take down a candidate. That is not the role of people in media. [More]

Maher: If Trump Goes To Jail There Will Be A Racial Civil War [More]

Seeing what they call an “insurrection,” I’m wondering how they’ll paint unarmed rowdy flag-wavers as “rebels.”

Lord knows, with all the in-your-face provocations, if gun owners were inclined to mass armed retaliation they’d have not only seen it by now, but stupid ****s like Maher would be broadcasting from Canada.

GOA CONDEMNS NEW RADICAL ANTI-GUN POLICY AT YOUTUBE — BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALVIN BRAGG AND ANTI-GUN LOBBY [More]

“As Stephen King said, ‘If your school has banned a book, get to a bookstore or library and find out what it is they don’t want you to know,'” said a comnment poster to this.

So, see? YouTube still allows teaching other important life skills.

It Ain’t the Meat It’s the Motion

The long-held myth that men who own guns are … err, overcompensating for something … has been debunked by scientists in a new study published in the American Journal of Men’s Health. Rather, researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio found that men quite satisfied with certain physical assets are most likely to have guns. [More]

Well, look at the type of “males” who consider themselves wits for questioning .

Me, I’m Sending ‘Machine Gun Sammy’ a Threeper Flag!

Alito’s House Reportedly Flew ‘Appeal To Heaven’ Flag Used By Jan. 6 Rioters—Adding To Upside-Down Flag Controversy [More]

It’s a pretty one-sided controversy, “real reporter” Antonio Pequeño IV, when you only reference what sets Democrats off and omit the flag’s patriotic origin and history.

Just like making America great again, we dare not trigger those who worship at a different altar with appeals to Heaven.

Anybody remember when Steve Forbes tried to convince us he was our pal, and the NRA mouthpiece asked him about everything BUT the right to keep and bear arms?

Donald Trump Movie ‘The Apprentice’ Ignites Controversy in Cannes Over Rape Scene [More]

Except thse people are such liars, but they don’t care (kinda like WaPo).

It wasn’t rape.

In a statement obtained by CNN, Ivana Trump said the Daily Beast story “is totally without merit.” “I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald. The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president,” Ivana Trump said in the statement, which was verified by the Trump campaign.

If you want to see real violent physical abuse of women, you’ll be wanting Biden supporter Puss Daddy.

This is NPR

NPR assigned a reporter with ties to left-wing groups funded by billionaire financier George Soros to write the story. That reporter refused to answer a question about whether she was concerned about illegal aliens voting in the 2024 presidential election. [More]

NPR may receive little direct federal funding, but a good deal of its budget comprises federal funds that flow to it indirectly by federal law.

Truth Still Buried

56% of Americans supported stricter gun control in 2023 as opposed to 78% in 1990. 12% of Americans supported relaxed gun control in 2023 compared to only 2% in 1990. [More]

Numbers have gradually moved in the right direction, but they’re still not enough to win most elections, highlighting the subversive influence of the narrative-parroting cheerleader DSM.

We’re the Only Ones Confusing Enough

“He had a high-powered, automatic rifle that, he was able to start open fire on our officers. And then, as others responded, to try to save the officers that were down. They were also hit with gunfire as well,” said Jennings. [More]

Right…

But mission accomplished:

The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons.

So will DEI Greg (what other qualifications does he have for a high-profile White House post in addition to a BA and years of trough feeding?) deploy the rapid response team where needed?

Comments turned off, naturally.

We’ve talked about this rights hater before. And again. And again, where it’s apparent he’s getting increasingly ghoulish. But it’s interesting that all the projects he’s involved in are high dollar and don’t look like they’ll actually change any minds or succeed, so by all means, antis, squander it on no bang for the buck efforts that make you feel good and do nothing else.

I am sorry for his “gun-free zone”-enabled loss. That does not give him claim to put me and those I love in the same vulnerable position.
