Gun Prohibitionists Using Pincer Strategy with Reports on U.S. Arms in Mexico

Fingers would be better pointed at Mexico’s pervasive corruption and tyrannical citizen disarmament edicts that have made a cartel black market both lucrative and inevitably bloody. [More]

The media pulling the same deceptions we saw before Operation Fast and Furious “Gunwalking” makes this déjà vu all over again.

Drawing Attention

Washington Post cartoonist resigns over paper’s refusal to publish cartoon critical of Jeff Bezos [More]

I’m trying to recall when I ever had a job where I could publicly diss my employer and expect to not be unceremoniously fired…

And it’s not like she had an original (or even funny) idea in her head…

Not to worry– I’m sure some virtual signaling outlet will pick her up– one that’s not cutting back yet due to a shrinking market demand for DSM gaslighting.

Calling All Fetishists and Zealots

“There were too many,” he concludes plainly. There are still too many. It is as simple as that. [More]

Imagine a world without them. Now imagine obnoxious, judgmental, closed-minded, self-righteous, and provincial-in-their-bubbles Becca Rothfeld and Andrew C. McKevitt in that world.

Still, there is useful information here — the early goals of “suburban housewives” prove that “commonsense gun safety laws” are a lie and the object is citizen disarmament with a government monopoly of violence. And the efforts of domestic manufacturers to demand banning cheap foreign competition explains much in how the industry will always put profit over rights.

Lie, Cheat and Steal

Last week, the Post’s editorial board — which speaks with the institutional voice of the newspaper — declared that it regards President Biden’s reelection in November as a matter of such importance that it will not fault him for promoting misbegotten policies that are designed to attract votes. The president’s policies “clearly pander to core constituencies,” the editorial board conceded, and “some of these policies are quite bad — even dangerous.” Other pandering by the White House may be “less obviously dangerous but still violates common sense and principle.” [More]

Why is anyone surprised?

And why is no one challenging this as an admission of intent to provide free publicity and suppress other information, making it an “in kind” campaign contribution reportable to the FEC?

Running Interference…

Received via email:

MoveOn has raised almost enough to launch our ambitious plan to take over the front page of The Washington Post with hard-hitting ads calling on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from a case that could determine whether Donald Trump can be criminally prosecuted for his crimes.

Aren’t there obstruction/interference laws against this?

On the plus side, it’s not like throwing $ at WaPo is going to change any minds…

If You Need More Than 10 Rounds You Shouldn’t Be Defending Yourself

“In the right hands, a weapon can save lives. The war demonstrated this — whenever weapons were present, disasters were smaller,” he said in late October. “A gun can save a family, and an assault rifle can save a building. A weapon can protect you, your family, your street and your country.” [More]

But only in Israel and not here, if you believe WaPo.

And why wouldn’t we?

Adventures in ‘Real Reporting’

Someone invented the phrase “citizen journalism” a few years ago to describe amateurs doing the work of pros. Yes, it occasionally works, but probably no more often than “citizen cop,” “citizen attorney” or “citizen soldier.” [More]

By “pros” he means he chose a college major that didn’t require math and science, and a career that didn’t require real-world subject matter experience.

What’s the biggest exclusive you’ve broken, Paul?
