That said, it’s not like Chicago Democrat ward politics are known for anything besides being bastions of privilege and hypocrisy, and that’s especially true when guns are involved. [More]
It's the Chicago way.

Chicago Democrats Not Anti-Gun When It Comes to Themselves
Friday, November 05, 2021
Prop Hero
Johnson, who has to handle firearms in “Red Notice,” says he will only use rubber guns on his sets, and will enforce that rule with any studio he is working with. [More]
It's not like anything about the guy is real.

What's In a Name?
Rider University in New Jersey has changed the name of its Van Cleve Alumni House to the Alumni House after research into the namesake revealed he owned slaves. [More]
I guess we'll have to go to the archives to find out if school namesake Andrew Jackson Rider was named in honor of a "slave owner [and] ethnic cleanser"...

Dissension in the Ranks
If Kavanaugh And Barrett Betray Pro-Lifers, We Must Blow Up The Conservative Legal Movement [More]
What about the strange bedfellows?

What an un-American abomination asset forfeiture is.
Can "Sentence first, verdict afterward" tyranny be more blatant and absurd?

Dear Representative: Please Do Your Job
BIDEN’S NEW BUDGET PROPOSAL, THE BUILD BACK BETTER ACT, CONTAINS GUN CONTROL [More]
I did it because my rep is nominally a "pro-gun" Republican (although mostly a lump). If yours isn't a safe seat anti, it wouldn't hurt for you to do it too.
I sure would like to see a politician who is alerting me to this stuff rather than the other way around.
So, Just Close Our Eyes and Think of England...?
The secret that the Fordham professor and the author of this piece doesn’t understand is that most Americans see the 2A as a covenant, not a source of rights. Most gun owners see their RKBA as given by God, not bestowed by the state. [More]
Don't Uncork the Champagne Just Yet
Rittenhouse Trial Day 3: State’s Own Witnesses Damage Prosecution, Reinforce Self-Defense Narrative - The prosecution’s narrative of guilt looks profoundly weaker, and the defense narrative of self-defense looks profoundly stronger, than was the case yesterday. [More]
I would be optimistic if I believed the goal of the state and the media was justice and that "peers" weren't selected for perceived manipulability.

Oh, Can't You See You Belong to Me?
When Democrats Say ‘Our Children’ [More]
To a collectivist, they're the property of the state to mold as it sees fit, hence McAuliffe's instinctive presumption. He was no doubt astonished that people made a big deal out of it.
What galls me is when I hear "Republicans" say it.

The Inner Circle
Their Diversity Makes Them Detested
There's Crazy and There's Crazier
Progressives are declaring victory ahead of a possible vote Thursday on President Biden’s social spending and climate package, while saying they shouldn’t be blamed for their party losing the governor’s race in Virginia. [More]
That this tyrannical abomination is even up for discussion without its proponents being ridden out on a rail makes it fair to question who is more delusional.

We're the Only Ones Planting Enough
Judge throws out man’s guilty plea after bodycam footage reveals NYPD drug planting [More]
He pled guilty on a resisting charge because it was the least life-threatening option, even though he had every right to resist with lethal force. And what kind of psychopath must the Staten Island DA be?
Every once in a while I come across something that makes me question my instinctive opposition to public crucifixions.

Media Continues Misleading Public on Nature of Rights
But now, the antis are back doing a full-court press trying to invalidate that decision and revive the “collective right” meme. [More]
They want us to believe that our birthrights are collective and granted by the state. And theirs is the much louder voice.
Stopping the Signal
We've been de-monetized, blacklisted, ostracized, canceled. That could end up cutting WND's online ad revenue roughly in half, since not only does de-monetization mean the removal of all Google ads from the site, but the removal of ads from alternate advertising services as well, since many of these companies utilize Google Ad Manager to serve their ads.

It's like The Keeper always said...
Incentivized Journalists
Dem Bill Gives Special Tax Handout to Media Companies with Up to 1,500 "Local Journalists" [More]
#justabloggers need not apply.
For all the complaining Americans for Tax Reform does about Democrat spending, you'd think their boss would stop trying to import more.
You Can't Always Get What You Want
A person who chooses to be taller digitally becomes a more aggressive negotiator in daily life. Someone who dons an inventor’s lab coat online is more creative at real-world meetings. Adopting a character digitally, the researchers found, can essentially change a personality, in a turn that has come to be known as the Proteus Effect. [More]
I remember as a child putting a towel on for a cape and trying to leap into the sky. I affected a different personality, too. That's what children do.
Fortunately, I wasn't immature enough to jump from the roof. The basic distinction between fantasy and reality was still there.
I can' say the same for some of the people who can't distinguish between virtual and reality that this article foresees. Seems like a pretty good way to develop a new strain of psychosis...
