Speaking of Not Relevant Anymore


Can our heads be any further apart?


I stipulate, based on what motivates, I'm clearly the oddball here.

Criminal Prosecutor


Want Hope that Schiff and Soros Might Go Down? Look to Missouri where a Soros-Funded Prosecutor Is Set to Plead Fifth for Secret Work with Lawyer-Politician [More]

I'd expect reality to end up being more localized and less sensational, but I'm willing to be surprised.

We're the Only Ones P!ssed Off Enough

A judge on Tuesday handed down a 4 1/2-year prison sentence to a former Cleveland police officer who admitted to urinating on a 12-year-old girl after she refused to get in his car at a school bus stop. [More]

You'll either love "Brazil" and consider it genius or scratch your head after a few minutes and go "WTF?"

I'm in the former camp and even think Robert DeNiro did a good job -- and one he should have learned from.

Sleeping with the Enemy


When I mentioned to my liberal wife... [More]

Sorry, bud.  You disqualified yourself from serious consideration right out of the starting gate.

Real Reporting


I've read this damn thing twice now and watched the video, and I'm still not sure what happened. [More]

I'm guessing the victim was outside and somehow got into an altercation with a suspect who shot him, and the sheriff's office is now implying that was justifiable.

This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things


That spurred a black Democratic senator from the city to call out her Republican colleague for looking at the issue of crime through the perspective of a “privileged” white man. [More]

Funny, who the one is trying to keep her constituents from being killed...

My Perfect Country


Japan has one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world. In 2014 there were just six gun deaths, compared to 33,599 in the US. What is the secret? [More]

Combine a culture of subservience to a de facto police state along with a homogenous population.

And let's not forget to talk about the great equalizer...

Then go after all the "media" outlets that repeated their smears when they "knew or should have known" the characterizations were libelous.

Why Are So Many Young People Unhappy? [More]

You may as well ask why so many experimental guinea pigs die.

And They Say There are No Stupid Questions


How Far Left Will Democrats Push Virginia? [More]
As far as they can.

Not that I expect National Review to get rational about how they'll be able to.

Catering to Their Customers


[More]
Curious. They don't object to killing animals for meat per se...

This should also be a wake-up call for unconcerned Fudds, although I doubt it will be.

There are some sick and cowardly bitches out there that fantasize about our children being slaughtered. And invariably, they demand their "men" be castrated.

Life imitates art...

Millie Boobie Brown

What? Sexualizing children is part of the agenda? [More]

Oh, go on...

There are no stranger things.

And ultimately, the blame goes to the complicit parents.

Who Cares What He Says?

That's a sentiment about my Eminem story that I've seen repeated in article comments and on social media.

It's wrong, of course. Case in point, Slime Shady makes inane claims and they get MILLIONS of views and supportive worldwide press. I make a detailed and documented rebuttal and despite many thousands of AmmoLand and WarOnGuns regulars, Facebook "friends" and Twitter "followers," so far, the piece has only garnered a modest handful of "shares."

There is no other publicity. None. Guess what the public is exposed to. Now guess why so many other efforts to disseminate the right information have gone nowhere.

I could just chalk it up to my writing sucks, but it's not limited to me and that doesn't explain why so many continue to return here every day. Surely there are more productive uses of their time.

We have the tools but only a handful ever picks them up and uses them. We have the potential to do so much more to reach outside the echo chamber (where even there this barely made a dent), but only a minuscule handful ever bother.

Gra$$root$ Activi$m


So Everytown raised a record 67 million dollars in 2018, according to their Form 990. According to the Schedule B, 39 million of that was raised from one donor. I think we can all guess who that is. But even Mike Bloomberg has friends. They raised 4 million more dollars in million dollar donations. That takes us up to 43 million raised from rich assholes. [More]

So all that Marxist railing against "the One Percent" is just a ploy that only the useful idiots parroting a scripted narrative actually believe...?

Good report, incidentally. It's a shame this kind of stuff has to be ferreted out by motivated individuals with limited resources and reach, but I guess the "real reporters" are occupied rewording press releases.
