Don't They Have People to Help Manage That?

Landmark lawsuit claims Monsanto hid cancer danger of weedkiller for decades [More]
Decades?


You mean the woke "stay-at-home mom" is not above putting her masters' spin on things even as people die?

Suddenly allegations of “champion[ing] falsified data and attack[ing] legitimate studies” assume a whole new level of credibility...

Or are we to believe the Global Public and Corporate Affairs Director, whose media expertise would be needed to defend the company's image, was intentionally kept in the dark?

He also never enslaved populations or filled mass graves.

This is Your Brain on Drugs

Pharmaceutical Murder – Mass Shootings Caused by Drugs! [More]
I'm not big on "one size fits all" explanations, but do think it's unquestionable that they have played a strong role in many of the atrocities.

One of the problems with digging deeper is many "reporters"are liberal arts grads with a "progressive" worldview who are unqualified to analyze research as well as unmotivated. Many assignment editors are more interested in easy, more personally rewarding stuff like SEO, profitable click bait and parroting a narrative established by others.

It's not like the readership/audience they're doing it for knows the difference.

An NRO 'Conservative'

Why the Royals matter, and why the U.S. needs its own [More]
If you think about it, that is "conservative." Just the kind whose views are welcomed at NBC's "Think."

National Review and symbols.

Need I say more?

Another Oath-Breaker

That’s why, like many other military veterans, I view America’s civilian gun culture as dysfunctional. [More]
And there are plenty of others who wonder what the hell you thought you were swearing an oath to, and what the fixation with "Only Ones" being more trustworthy than everyone else is about.

It's telling to see this filed under "Think" in light of the truism that for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

Self-Incriminating

Denson is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. [More]
I thought this said the evidence was stolen...

Today's One-Minute Activism

Add your name to the list of conservatives urging Jim Jordan to run for Speaker of the House [More]
I did.

Here's why.

This is CNN

The US has had 57 times as many school shootings as the other major industrialized nations combined [More]
Playing pretty fast and loose with "school shootings" there...

Along with the old "industrialized" deception...

Although it does let you conveniently ignore stuff like this...

And based on results, it works.

Narrative established. A mob that knows nothing else besides what we've fed it will remember our memes.

The Graveyard of History

History is catching up with our foolishness... [More]
Maybe if we whistle louder?

We're the Only Ones Ahead of Our Time Enough

First of 4 St. Louis police officers on trial for charges of stealing overtime pay [More]
I saw that movie...

Can't See the Forest for the Trees

For those of you who believe the NRA position that more guns make us safer and support an unrestricted Second Amendment, please present the evidence — backed with verifiable facts — that leads you to this position. I’ve searched. A lot. All I can find are rare anecdotes where a good guy with a gun saved the day.  [More]
Huh. You must not have looked very hard or very effectively.

Or in all the relevant places to see what happens in the absence of "good guys with guns."

Figures Don't Lie

Studies on assault weapons bans have generally ranged from inconclusive to unfavorable toward a ban. And even if the bans were effective at constricting access to assault weapons, they would likely have only a small effect on gun violence overall. [More]
What  that tells me is there's an entirely different and unspoken reason for so deperately wanting such a ban.

But what?

Inside Man

...Halper, then an emeritus professor at Cambridge... [More]
Cambridge, eh?

How to Survive a Knife Attack


Of course if you're physically incapable of doing this, you're pretty much screwed unless you can do something else. [Watch]

But what?

Opposite Day 'Progressive" Immigration Political Analysis

I don't buy it. [More]
Me neither.

Perhaps Anna Maria Mayda, Giovanni Peri and Walter Steingress would care to take the challenge...? And account for California...?

Air Force Produces Texas Church Shooter Court Martial Record


This was clearly a damaged, a violent, and of relevance, a guilty young man, and as we’ve seen in similar cases, the government knew about him. [More]
More to the point as far as that picture goes– why was someone who can't be trusted with a gun allowed to stalk freely among us?

That's OUR Word

Kendrick Lamar Calls Out White Fan for Singing N-Word During 'M.A.A.D City' at Hangout Festival [More]
Yeah, I mean it's not like it's in the lyrics or anything.

N-Word Jim explains.

I don't suppose race-based exclusions cause any cognitive dissonance or anything...? And where are all the femarxists getting all into "lil pushover's" grill for using the "B" word?

Is the Pope Catholic?


Why should we expect the Church hierarchy to be any different than the political hierarchy? [More]

All in the Family

Maxine Waters Paying Daughter Over $100K In Campaign Funds [More]
Don't look for any of the useful idiots who vote for her to do anything but defend this.
