Fear has become a new virtue. Never before in the history of this country have we told people that fear is good,” or to “settle into” those fears and allow them “to control and constrain your life,” said McDonald, who spoke at the American Front Line Doctors White Coat Summits in July and October.

Of course, we have. What the hell do you think the entire "gun control" movement has been about all these decades? And some of the worst spreaders of that are the damned gunquacks.

For a product that made its top guy a multi-billionaire, Facebook really does have some crappy, limiting, and non-intuitive software from an end-user viewpoint. It's what it doesn't do but should.
I've noted before because I only use it to promote my article links, that I do not send out friend requests. I only accept them, and that's after giving a friend request a once-over to make sure the requestor looks to be interested in RKBA, and to try not to let spammers, grabbers, and purveyors of "nude photos" in. But what Facebook doesn't do is tell me who has "unfriended" me. Instead, you need to use third-party software, in this case, "Unfriend Finder."
I get notified if anyone drops me and access a screen that looks like this:

A Staten Island pub located in a coronavirus hot spot is stealing a page from Seattle’s anarchist cookbook, declaring itself an “autonomous zone,” free from the public-safety restrictions its owners say they will refuse to abide by. [More]
If they were actually willing to defend it, this could be the flashpoint.

“Law enforcement must be able to keep guns out of the hands of convicted criminals,” said U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur. [More]
Yeah but it can't and never will be able to, so what's Plan B, genius, aside from continuing to ignore and deny reality?

When he leaves office, can ex-President Trump be trusted with America's national security secrets? Ex-presidents are entitled to classified briefings. Some ex-intel officials think Trump shouldn't get access to any national secrets when he leaves office. [More]
But the guy married to Hillary and the guy mentored by Bill Ayers, no problem.

On Monday, NBC's Today show covered the stabbings, but, unlike Fox & Friends, did not update the story after the involvement of an illegal alien was revealed. A Nexis search finds that the morning and evening news casts on ABC, CBS, and NBC have otherwise ignored the story. [More]
Just in case anybody thinks I'm just joking and I don't really mean it when I call them "the DSM."

UPDATE:The sweeping language chosen by the Framers requires that the “whole immigrant population should be numbered with the people and counted as part of them,” as John Bingham argued during the debates over the Fourteenth Amendment.
Robert Reich Tweets On Thanksgiving Day: "No Human Being Is Illegal On Stolen Land" [More]
So he's admitting when he assumed his cabinet position and freely took an oath to the Constitution he was lying, or does he believe in pledging fealty to invaders and genocidal conquerors? By the way, has he initiated proceedings to cede any property he might own back to the indigenous peoples from whose ancestors it was taken?
Mayors and Governors “had police departments stand down in their cities, allowed protesters and rioters to take over police precincts and damage and vandalize buildings.” Now, they want to add insult to injury. Liberal politicians are after law abiding citizens. [More]
But if they defy tyrannical edicts, they're not really "law-abiding," are they?
Anyway, good on the sheriff. I just wish he'd take a similar public stance on enforcing citizen disarmament orders.

Cindy McCain eyed by Biden for US ambassador to the UK: report [More]
A homewrecker, a continued adulteress, a drug abuser who stole from her own charity?
Who says she's not qualified for government work...?
And I wonder if "Cindy McCain tapped" was deliberate, which could explain why the headline was changed but the url remains.

At least we know what didn't work.
“As an organization we support the Second Amendment. We draw the line, however, at military grade weapons in the hands of civilians. We’re talking about weapons like the SIG MCX semi-automatic that was used to murder 49 LGBTQ people and wound 53 more at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. These deadly weapons of war belong in the hands of soldiers, not civilians,” Williams said. [More]
In other words, Troy Williams doesn't know what the f*** he's talking about.
