BLM Organizer Faces Child Porn Charges…So This Is Why They Want To Defund The Police [More]
I always thought there was something more than a little perverted about those presuming to be our moral superiors.

Those guns sure are violent.
Even Grammarly is confused and suggests I meant to type "guys":
... a counter-protester was involved in an altercation with the person in the wheelchair. The CHP said the counter-protester struck the individual in the face with a chain. [More]
I guess telling us which "side" the chain-swinging disabled senior-basher was on is irrelevant to the story.
WaPo tries to use data to prove that the Republican Party is authoritarian and it's the stupidest thing ever [More]
Bottom line: If you're against the right of the people to keep and bear arms, you are a "monopoly of violence" totalitarian in favor of using collective force to destroy the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

Support for Stricter U.S. Gun Laws at Lowest Level Since 2016 [More]
The very first sentence tells us all it will take(in a "gun-free zone") to turn that around, and you'd better believe the grabbers are ready to jump on it when it happens, and plenty of Republicans will cave if it's bad enough.

In the name of fighting COVID-19, Harris County (Texas’s largest county) health officials announced a plan that includes randomly knocking on doors to collect blood samples. “Teams of health workers wearing yellow vests will make their rounds from Nov. 15 through Dec. 15, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.” [More]
Aside from the "Hell, NO!" factor, I'm thinking the investment by those who want to exploit this for private purposes could be more than paid for and then some on the first visit...

As usual, I will be adding links as the day progresses, and as usual, look at all of this with a degree of healthy questioning and evidence testing.
Renewed public hostility to cops appears to have worsened a long decline in their numbers, stretching back to the Great Recession. That’s bad news for both public safety and police-community relations: fewer cops likely means both more crime and more police misconduct. [More]
I'd say on the bright side that means fewer cops to confiscate citizens' guns, but I have a feeling that's going to be Priority One for the limited resources.

OBEY: Mailchimp joins long list of tech companies CENSORING and deplatforming DISSENT [More]
Cowardly corporate fascists can advance the national socialist agenda doing what the government cannot (yet). Using their "rationale," "private companies" like UPS and FedEx could refuse to make deliveries from any venture or individual that has been "de-platformed."
I'm still wondering about the feasibility of a bill that any bank doing business with companies that discriminate against lawful enterprise or speech becomes ineligible for federal bailouts...?

While Oregon law prohibits confiscation of firearms during emergencies, Brown’s belief that she has unlimited powers could well put you in jail for sharing a Thanksgiving meal with your loved ones or attempting to visit an aging parent. And a misdemeanor arrest will almost certainly lead to a loss of a concealed handgun license and any firearm in your possession at the time of your arrest. So there is no question that these draconian and arbitrary rules could well lead to a loss of your gun rights in addition to your freedom. [More]
I'd quibble and change "loss" to "recognition," but the cause for concern is real whenever wannabe totalitarians have the power to dispatch armed operatives against citizens they hate.
Hate crimes in U.S. reach highest level in more than a decade, FBI report says [More]
Looks like Chris Wray's FBI and dispute arbiter AP have teamed up to help SPLC/ADL conflate, smear, and condemn us all by blowing low-hanging fruit anomalies into a national wave. Curious, how selective statistics and definitions of "hate" allow them to present what works to their advantage while completely ignoring the registered Democrat/Antifa supporter who shot up Dayton.
