Calculated Insults
Opposite Day "Progressives" seem to think they're funny. [View]
As usual, they present stereotypes to bolster the bigotry.
I wonder what any of them would do if these guys did a walk-on.

Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing
“I support the second amendment right to bear arms, but ... " [More]Well, I've heard all I need to. No point in wasting any more time on this for any of us.
As for further "dialogue," the antis have made it more than clear they mean it to be a monologue. I don't know if the Republican is trying to appear "reasonable" or if he actually believes more gabbing with gungrabbers will do anything other than give them more amplification for their lies.

America Second
Every year, more than 100,000 foreign workers are brought to the U.S. on the H-1B visa and are allowed to stay for up to six years. That number has ballooned to potentially hundreds of thousands each year, as universities and non-profits are exempt from the cap. With more entering the U.S. through the visa, Americans are often replaced and forced to train their foreign replacements. [More]And some of them marry Americans and/or have children who are "birthright citizens" and they come from places with a different view of government and armed citizens and... I'm sorry, there I go deviating from that "single issue" again.
Besides, Grover's on board with it, and he has the full backing of Fairfax, so thank goodness it's of no concern here.
And still besides, we have a government tasked right there in the Preamble with a duty "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity," so no worries.
Right?

Where Political Power Comes From
“If Venezuela was plunged into chaos and violence and the Bolivarian Revolution destroyed, we would go to combat. We would never give up, and what we failed to achieve with votes, we would do with weapons. We would liberate the fatherland with weapons.” [More]And, of course, that "we" with access to weapons does not include anyone not working for him.
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength and Liberation is Totalitarianism.

Despite the tech upgrade, in the three weeks that the van has spent in the Windy City, it hasn’t helped police make any arrests, according to the department Superintendent Eddie Johnson.Ruh-roh.
Of course not. It's all mobile kabuki theater.
And we'll get away with it too, in spite of you meddling kids!

Delusional
From 6:43:
"But we recently...an organization I work with called 'Guns Down' did a poll and actually asked 'How many likely voters and how many gun owners would support a program where you were required to turn in your assault rifles to the government if the government would buy it back, it had over 65% support, including among gun owners."This is the bullshit Glaze and fellow travellers are peddling and offering to the media for propagation and amplification.
That must be why Question 1 lost in every county but Clark and then only passed by <1% despite 20M of Bloomberg dollars blanketing the mass media with disinformation designed to exploit the uninformed.
But no one's talking about taking your guns.

Was Britain’s EU referendum hijacked by the American alt-right using a technique known as psychographics? [More]Everyone realizes BBC is a British government operation, and the globalist elites have a vested interest in disparaging "populism" and doing whatever they can to delegitimize the vote?
It's the same coup technique being attempted here.
The Conundrum
What if a consortium of alternative media established a news agency along the lines of the AP? [More]Well, not too closely along those lines...
But he's dead nuts on about defining the MSM problem and he's right in principle. Without a capability to do investigative journalism, alternative media is limited to rewording and opining on the fare offered by those with such resources.
I like the idea of a consortium, but having some experience trying to herd cats in an environment plagued by infiltrators, disruptors, the indifferent, the closed-minded, the apathetic and the willfully ignorant, I'm trying to envision the requisite demand needed to sustain such a venture. That and there would need to be transparency over decisions on what to cover, how much, and what not to cover, as well as openness about disagreements over such decisions.
And in the words of my least favorite George Harrison song:
But it's gonna take money
A whole lot of spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right child
Aye, there's the rub. And not the only one.
In a world of comfort zones surrounded by seemingly impenetrable walls of illusion, how much of a market is there for the truth?
Shall we ask Pogo?
"Authorized Journalists," just like politicians, get away with it because "we" allow them and reward them. And that gets back to
I see Western culture, which has had all the advantages, believing in the most bizarre things, committing suicide in spite of reality being right there in front of everyone's faces. Of the handful who do partially see through both the engineered and the self-imposed fog, I see less cohesive unity than I do hostility and rancor -- some of it planted by those with an agenda to create discord on behalf of either their own nihilism or as operatives.
Maybe we're not going to report our way out of this, either.
And all that said, I admire and applaud the rational goal of pursuing the truth wherever it leads. I pray that the prophecy is fulfilled.
But that alone won't get 'er done.

Life in the Fast Lane
We're told he parked his car with the valet ...and 2 days later got back in his car only to find his Glock and ammo were missing. Our sources say there was no forced entry. It's unclear where the gun and ammo were in the car. [More]Does his unfunny dad know?
I trust he was in full compliance, and not one of those connected luminaries who get thumbs up on "may issue" while the rest of us are generally treated to "may not"...?
