I'd alternate between here and here to see when the hammer drops.

We Don't Cotton to Your Kind Around Here
Facebook did not hire Black employees because they were not a 'culture fit,' report says [More]
Really? So the excuse is they didn't live up to "community standards"...?

Just Think of It as a Floating Weinermobile*
After school shootings, NRA exec sought refuge on 108-foot yacht: ‘Thank God I’m safe’ [More]
I had to open the link in an incognito window to access the story. And yes, of course, it's a smear job. The point is, with $40,000 weddings, who is providing the material with which to smear?
Wish I had more time to dig into this...
Yeah, they're "bankrupt," all right.

Our Friends Across the Aisle
House and Senate Democrats endorsed the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) “Year in Hate” report that brands mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits “hate groups” and plots them on a map with the Ku Klux Klan. [More]
They're bound and determined to make us really start hating, aren't they?
If you have the time, here's a pretty good discussion of how the gaslighting works.

The War on America
As during the Obama era, it will likely escalate in intensity with each passing year. At this point, any jurisdiction in the country that wants to keep control of its zoning and development should decline to apply for federal housing grants. No matter how good the money looks, sign that promise to “affirmatively further fair housing” — as the Biden administration will define it — and you are signing away your birthright. [More]
Or, just accept a low-income highrise across the street from the Cleavers...
Funny, the howls of resistance and screams of racism when a noncoercive opposite tack is tried...

The State of the Union
That means 74% of Democrats and 44% of people overall are clueless or simply refuse to think. [More]
I've been calling that citizenship malpractice.

Supreme Court Could Greenlight Warrantless Gun Seizures [More]
If government doesn't have to respect the Second, why should it fear going after the Fourth?
We're the Only Ones Crowdfunding Enough
[T]he Mason County Sheriff’s Office, which led an investigation into officers’ use of force in the shooting, notified the public that Arlo had been shot by friendly fire. But it wasn’t until weeks later that local outlets like The Olympian, a paper based in Olympia, reported on what had actually happened. By that point, Arlo’s story had taken on a life of its own. The Thurston County Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation organized a GoFundMe page and raised more than $73,000 for Arlo’s medical bills. [More]
I don't suppose anyone did an audit to make sure none of the funds ended up on bar tabs and stuffed into g-strings...?

About that 'Epidemic of Gun Violence'
[More]
As for #10:[P]er World Health Organization Statistics, “gun-free” Japan comes in at #17. The “easy access to guns” United States comes in at #50. What they also don’t tell you, and this is curious, seeing as how they’re big proponents of police being the “Only Ones” with guns, is that a Philadelphia Inquirer report from some years back concluded: “New York City officers kill themselves at a rate of 29 per 100,000 a year. The rate of suicide in the general population is 12 per 100,000 …”

Depose the Kraken!
In sum, the legal standard of a technical legal defense crafted by the courts has been improperly manipulated by the media to tell a false narrative. Ms. Powell is not backing down or retracting her previous statements concerning Dominion. Dominion’s case lacks legal merit and should be dismissed in its entirety. [More]
In any case, high-priced lawyers seem a lot more effective at slowing the thing down than Medusa's head...

The Enemy Within In Charge
As the bill hit a wall, House Speaker David Ralston, R-Ellijay, said the timing of the bill, two weeks after mass shootings in Atlanta and Colorado, wasn’t right for him...[More]
The timing will never be right for such swindlers.
So, Georgia gun owners: You got nobody to boot this self-serving poltroon?

With Nuclear Options Like These...
So draw your line. Decide where it is. It won’t be the same for all of us. Maybe you’ve tolerated a lot but refuse to tolerate vaccine passports. Maybe you can’t imagine giving up Coca-Cola products (they do own a lot of stuff, after all) but you decide to lay off their soda for a while. Maybe you start a calling or letter-writing campaign to your state legislator demanding they protect girls’ athletics and children against oppressive transgender legislation. Maybe you give up your MLB tv package this season. Maybe you run for the school board. [More]
Is that seriously what Red Staters equate with line-in-the-sand battles?

Guess who has the original manuscript.

Fallen Star
"I am sure, had [Green] been blessed to come through the crisis that he was going through, he would have been a star in the mission of the resurrection of our people," said Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. [More]
He coulda been a contender!
Instead of someone "progressives" will gloss over and abandon because he didn't fit their narrative...

The Longest War
Current and former students at evangelical Christian colleges sued the Education Department to get the religious exemption to antidiscrimination protections granted to the institutions declared unconstitutional. [More]
This is the group doing the agitating. I wasn't able to define who they are and who funds them from either a WhoIs search or from an Oregon corporate search, and didn't have the incentive to get further into the weeds on this to grok what they mean by "taxpayer-funded."
Are they referring to tax exemptions that all non-profits enjoy, or do the schools in question get actual handouts? If the former, I trust they're also intent on forcing themselves on Islamic schools? If the latter, hey, there's a rendering price when dealing with Caesar.
Or is this simply another tolerance demand from the anti-Christian intolerant, and a power grab to take over and repurpose by adherents of the original rebellion?

For the Sake of Argument
Gun Control Wins Debate...When Advocates Argue With Voices In Their Heads [More]
Tom Knighton does a pretty good job of deconstructing an anti-gun fool.
He did miss one significant opportunity I'd like to see more "gun writers" be sensitive to:
However, the Second Amendment gives people the right to have them.
Even our friends, it seems, have trouble with this one, meaning correcting such a destructive misassumption can't be overstated. Even though, based on results, most readers disagree with me on that...

Yumpin' Yemeni Redux
WND has a transcript of the release the CBP posted and then took down. [More]
We touched on this yesterday, including how the foreign watchlisted can be of service to the administration...
"Rigorous," Opposite Day "progressive"-style on steroids...
Speaking of 'Settled Science'...
- EU: COVID-19 vaccine has 'clear association' with brain blood clots
- WHO: No guarantee that vaccines prevent COVID-19 transmission
- Feds ignored 2016 law requiring use of real-world evidence
And then there's this:
"Mental disorders"...?
We must close the COVID Loophole on gun purchases! And that includes the Catch-22 of those so "nuts" they refuse the jabs!
UPDATE: And don't go out without your poisoned masks!
I'd tell you who they're from but the thought of being accused of spreading hate scares me more than the virus.

So, taxation without representation...?
