The Ostalgie Factor

When the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was signed into law, it was a time of hope for common sense gun control. That time quickly ended. [More]

A time of hope for whom?

Anybody with a brain (and more than a bachelors degree in a major that didn’t require actual knowledge and a career in a privileged collectivist bubble) saw it for the unworkable and treasonous usurpation of undelegated power that it was.

But I’m sure anyone closed-enough to get their “news” from MSNBC is wailing over paradise lost…

Brought to You By…

I’m trying to figure out if it’s my cookies and browser history causing this or the subject matter of the videos I’m trying to access, but more and more every time I try to watch a gun influencer on YouTube, Mark Barden’s showing up first. Is this happening to any of you?

As with Manuel Oliver, as sympathetic as we may feel, his “solution” is antithetical to freedom and unacceptable, and his loss does not give him a claim against our rights.

Starting off the video with these ads undermines the presenter’s work, especially with people who may not be informed and may be otherwise receptive. So I have some questions, because I don’t know how YouTube ad policies work.

Is it intentional placement? Does the client request it? Does the YouTube account where the ad is being placed have any say? If so, do they allow it because monetization is monetization? If not, could they reject it?

Conversely, would a “gun rights” group be able to have their ads placed at the start of gungrab group videos? Has anbody ever seen that happen?

And is this a directed policy by Google/YouTube to deliberately muddle messages they want to suppress, and inject their own?

Bullet Points

Army Ammunition Plant Is Tied to Mass Shootings Across the U.S. [More]

Tied by whom, Ben Dooley of The New York Times, the “D” part of the DSM? What was the purpose of writing this article?

I wonder if you compared all ammo sold by Lake City to the civilian market to the number of those rounds used in acts of violence what the abuse rate would be, and how many “0s” would follow the “.” to come up with a percentage…

Meanwhile, CNN/Aol repeats the Big Lie:

Firearms are now the No. 1 killer of children and teens in America, surpassing motor vehicles accidents, which had been the leading cause of death among youth until 2020.

Without a Trace

The Trace story quotes Byrna’s founder, president and chief executive officer, Bryan Ganz. However, on Friday, Ganz told the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project that he had never even heard of the Trace until the story appeared Thursday morning. The freelance writer who wrote the story claimed it would appear in a different publication. [More]

How can you be an industry leader and be so oblivious about the media environment you’re operating in?

Hollywood Squares

Joining the Brady gun control outfit are Christy Callahan, a former motion picture creative executive and TV writer; Jared Milrad, an “award-winning filmmaker, actor, entrepreneur and advocate for inclusion and social impact in entertainment”; and Matt Littman, who is leaving his position at the gun control group 97 percent. [More]

And every one of those powerhouse names is just as notable — and just as qualified to lead on the issue– as the guy who played the Ty D Bol man.

When we last left Matthew, he was being replaced for not growing an Astroturf-funded group with all kinds of free national publicity beyond 11K Facebook followers…

And if this is Christy, I’ve as many IMDB credits, and I’m not even in the industry.

As for Jared, what can you say about a guy whose claim to fame appears to be Babygayz, “An animated web series that follows the adventures of four precocious, highly curious babies as they tackle everyday issues in the gay community”…?

Everybody trembling in awe yet…?

It’s the Lies

It’s the guns. [More]

Of course, it’s not. But you’ll notice the grabbers never tell you when meeting their demands will be enough– that’s because it never will be for them. They’re still arguing that Heller misappropriated founding intent and that you have no individual right to own a gun.

Of course, they’re talking about taking your guns. They have been since Day One, and it’s the one thing they say you can believe.

Enter “Pediatrician & Mom” Dr. Annie Andrews, Senior Advisor @everytown, who quickly establishes that she is a medical fraud:

Wait. It’s the “human heart”? So we need a cardiologist? Good news! I know many. They think it’s the fucking guns.

That’s two logic fails in one tweet, the first implication being that her premise speaks authoritatively for cardiologists, and the second relying on false authority that a medical degree in a specialized field qualifies them to have expert opinions in other fields.

There’s a word for such as Annie.

An Award Winning ‘Real Reporter’

Disinformation Reporter Ben Collins Failed To Correct the Gaza Hospital Story – Perhaps the Walter Cronkite Awards ought to have slightly higher standards? [More]

What, the “disinformation reporter” who called a Second Amendment rally a “white nationalist rally”…? And he’s the arbiter of “extremism”…?

I thought he’d promised to quit “journalism”…? (At least he got the “no skills” part right.)

As for being “depressed” over “death threats,” how were they delivered, were they reported to the authorities and what did their investigations conclude? Or more likely were they just “wishes,” something those of us who aren’t contemptible weaklings have directed not just against us, but against our children, and don’t let the losers slow us down…?

What can I say but “NBC News”? Don’t these people have a truck to blow up or something?

And I would say a Walter Cronkite Award is more than appropriate.

So would he.

There’s a reason I call these people the DSM…

Shame on Who?

Reacting to the news, Kimmel shamed Scalise for failing to embrace gun control reform. [More]

No, he didn’t. He shamed himself. And he lied by omission by not mentioning the Bernie supporter.

But naturally, “the audience erupted in cheers and applause.” Look who his show appeals to.

Try that in a small town and see what kind of laughs you get,

I guess when a word from you can up security, it’s in your interests to disarm the hoi polloi.

No Downside We Can Think Of…

Latinos in Ohio earned a total of $22.8 billion in 2021, according to the report that was produced by the Latino Donor Collaborative, a California-based nonprofit organization and think tank, in collaboration with Arizona State University. [More]

All those flags certainly make a statement.

Assuming you can trust numbers from an agenda group with horses in the race and no clear way to identify who bankrolls them, how much of that was sent out of country via wire transfers?

And while everyone is waxing eloquent about all the marvelous benefits, let’s see a realistic assessment of added costs to measure what we’re really talking about– and not just economic.

And what report would be complete without analyzing how they vote, and why the Democrat-endorsing Columbus Dispatch didn’t see fit to include that?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

At Facebook Value

As it turns out, the Biden White House relied on foreign “disinfo” activists to pressure Facebook to censor Americans. Worse, it turns out the group supposedly targeting disinformation had their facts wrong. Facebook knew it, too. [More]

Those must be the “community standards” they keep dinging me for violating…
