Paper Falsely ‘Reports’ Gun Advocate Diminished Importance of Lives Lost to Suicide

 “[Arizona Daily Star reporter Carol Ann Alaimo] made up a quote from me out of whole cloth,” Heller unequivocally declares at Liberty Watch Radio. “That quote is a lie.” [More]

Let's see if they can't be persuaded to correct the record...

Calling All Extremists!

 A More Extreme Gun Rights Movement Is Emerging in the NRA’s Wake - Meet the right-wing gun groups eager to take its place. [More]

And what would a smear job like this be without the obligatory inserts?

The FBI arrested members of the neo-Nazi group the Base, who had allegedly stockpiled firearms and ammunition, discussed plans to recruit members at the rally to help kickstart a race war, and talked about committing acts of violence against people of color.

What can I say but "Mother Jones"?

Talk About a Conversation Stopper...

 Oliva also said it was “as outrageous as it was insulting” that Murray would compare the foundation and gun owners with extremists and white supremacists. [More]

But calling us Nazis is the prevailing narrative...

Tell me you wouldn't like to establish a dialog with someone whose standard practice is based on lies and calling you hateful names. 

News You Can Use

 News To Keep You Out Of The Camps [More]

My stuff is included with other fine fare in the continuously updated "News" page.

I'm adding Normal American to the sidebar WogRoll.

'ey Took 'r Jobs!

 Tucker Carlson: Senate GOP Trying to Pack Foreign Workers into U.S. Jobs While 18M Americans Are Jobless [More]

While everyone, Tucker Carlson included, is preoccupied with this, they're completely ignoring the greater and existential danger.

Not that Mike Lee has to worry...

The one thing adventures in Covid has shown us is that many of these tech jobs can be done remotely. There is no need to bring many of them here. Would it not be more economical and humane to pay higher wages to teleworkers residing in India, which would create a rising tide lifts all boats scenario as their prosperity boosts their local economies?

Then again, there's that real reasons/greater danger thang...

Leslie Hager-Smith, the Final Authority on Your Needs

 “You don’t need a firearm to pay your water bill,” she said. “You don’t need your firearm to sign up for volleyball or to play dodgeball.” [More]

Really?

Huntsville Police respond to shooting scenes at Huntsville Utilities payment center...

You sure about that?

The shooting happened during a fight in the school parking lot during a volleyball game between Sheridan High School and Bruce Randolph School. 

Talking points much?

Besides, Leslie's plan worked so well in Virginia Beach.

It's not a matter of these people never being tired of being wrong. It's not like what they're really after is public safety.

Think of It as a Test Run for a Wider Operation

 ‘Black Lives Matter’ Rioter Charged With Murder in N.C. Home Invasion [More]

So commie punks who say "property is theft" kill a guy while trying to steal property?

They're right about one thing. "All lives" don't matter.

We're the Only Ones Slashed Enough

 Yes, This Makes Perfect Sense: Cities Across America Are Slashing Police Budgets As Crime Rates Soar [More]

And it will continue to soar as long as the perfect sense necessary for "the security of a free State" spelled out for us by the Founders is deliberately ignored. Why more "conservatives" don't get that is the mystery of our time.

All Things Being Equal...

 Callaway County authorities say four juveniles have been arrested in the vandalism of a historic Black church in Holts Summit ... evidence currently does not support a hate crime charge but the investigation is continuing. [More]

If you had to draw conclusions from that, what would they be?

A Woman's Right to Choose

 Lohmar said Killian and Delgado met online and were engaging in some dangerous activity the night of the crime but wouldn’t go into more detail. [More]

22, unmarried, pregnant, with two kids, and arranging for sex hookups with strangers...

I know you're not supposed to blame the victim, but based on her choices, how sorry for this person are we supposed to be, and can that question be applied to other social conditions that are the accumulative results of lifetimes of serial poor choices?

Salesman of the Year

 "I think that people are looking at the Biden gun-control plan, at what he said he wants to do," Oliva said. "People are concerned and they're buying firearms and want to buy while they can still buy them." [More]

I'm more interested in how concerned they are with keeping them.

[Via bondmen]

Speaking of 'No Justice, No Peace'...

 Authorities said a witness saw a man 16 to 19 years old and wearing a dark puffy coat running in the area of the crime when it happened. [More]

This poor woman's story really is heartbreaking. Tell me more funding for community programs and disarming you and me wouldn't solve this!

Soon to Be an Unperson

The statue of George Washington at Miami University was covered in an attempt to show "problematic" views surrounding the statue. [More]

Speaking of "problematic"...

The Last Homecoming Queen

SMU human rights group to boycott homecomings unless they become ‘gender-neutral’ [More]

So I guess Christian universities can now pick and choose their passages...?

...Not as I Do

 Democrat Mayor Arrested After Throwing Crack From Window During Pursuit ... Massena mayor Timmy Currier was allegedly involved in drug sales and possession [More]

And after giving such a rousing speech with the U.S. Attorney's Office about "our drug-free community coalition"...

What is it about Democrat crackheads throwing away things that are illegal for them to have?

Can we haggle?

For the Children

 Prominent California Democratic strategist Nathan Ballard — a longtime friend and adviser to Gov. Gavin Newsom — was arrested and jailed on two felony domestic violence charges in Napa that include an allegation of attempting “to suffocate a child with a pillow.”… [More]

Hey, since it was a pillow, that doesn't invalidate his demands to protect children by locking up guns, does it?

I can't begin to tell you how many times I tried to smother feral sons Uday and Qusay when they were growing up... probably because the answer is "0." But they weren't completely protected from lethal dangers. Did I ever tell you about the time a Newsom administration had armed men sent to my house?

Fortunately, none of them had pillows.

Aid and Comfort to the Enemy

 EXCLUSIVE: Oregon Gave Antifa Your CARES Act COVID Relief Tax Dollars During the Riots. Wait, It Gets Worse [More]

The problem begins by accepting as a legitimate function of government the forced redistribution of wealth to the nonproductive.

And yes, it will get a lot worse. We're way past biting the hand that feeds them. They demand the throat.

With Friends Like These

 Republican Senators Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis will attend a Thursday “summit” meeting hosted by the “American Business Immigration Coalition,” a pro-amnesty group consisting of big business donors, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as the George Soros-funded United We Dream organization. [More]

Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue"!

As the Republic Burns...

This just came in over the transom:


Today's Cavalcade of Baselessness

The effort came as Trump continues to level baseless claims that he won the election and alleges without evidence that massive voting fraud was responsible for his defeat to President-elect Joe Biden. [More]

Who's surprised that the dispute arbiter is sticking with the meme?

That's why I call 'em the AL.

I guess since this nominally deals with "Stop the Steal," I'll use this post as today's aggregator. All previously articulated caveats about testing claims before accepting them as true apply.

Taking Sides

 Hate speech and slurs directed toward Black, Muslim, biracial, Jewish and LGBTQ users will be considered "the worst of the worst" as part of the new project and algorithmic changes, according to the outlet...Additionally, algorithmic changes will aim to give less priority to problematic posts and comments about "whites," "men" and "Americans." [More]

Any questions? Aside from doesn't renouncing neutrality mean taking sides, with all that implies?

The Emperor's New Clothes

Sotheby’s calls it “profoundly poetic and compelling” — a “monument to the Black American struggle for visibility, recognition and ultimately freedom”. [More]

Of course, they do. They get 20%.
