WSJ Call for censorship on Climate
If they thought they had a case, wouldn’t they want a free and open debate?
FOX Framework for firearms legislation
If Democrats don’t sabotage it in the details, a compromise might happen.
The Elements are:
Increased mental health services for young people.
Improvements in school security
Enhanced penalties and enforcement on straw purchases.
Incentives for State Red Flag laws.
Including Juvenile records in NICS scans for those between 18 and 21.
In general, these aren’t bad.

Bill Maher on Hollywood’s share of responsibility
Bill Maher is hardly a 2nd Amendment advocate, and neither he nor I advocate censorship, but Maher does a good job of exposing the hypocrisy of the Hollywood left.
My gripe with TV and Movie violence is the lack of consequences. I remember an early John Wayne movie, “Red River” or maybe “Stagecoach” in which the Duke, after trying to avoid confrontation, has to shoot and kill a bad guy. The guy’s mother literally runs out into the street and cries over the body. You don’t see that in today’s movies.
When the good guy gets wounded, he walks it off, and in next week’s bedroom scene, there’s not even a scar. It’s almost like video games where when you get killed you just put in another quarter. No consequences.
The other thread wandered pretty far afield. So, to get back to the issue.
It’s not about Trump. The judicial branch is not supposed to be political. It is supposed to interpret the law, not make it. The opinions of the judges are irrelevant to their decisions, and so are the opinions of the public. The law is what it is. If it needs changing, that belongs to the legislative branch. There is no reason to lobby a SCOTUS justice, ever.
It is against Federal law to try to intimidate a judge. Those protesting outside the homes of justices are blatantly breaking the law, and Garland won’t enforce the law. Finally, this led to an unstable partisan trying to kill a justice. Thankfully he was incompetent.
But the MSM seems intent to ignore this, and not hold those who sent protestors to the justices’ homes fueled by violent rhetoric accountable. Schumer should resign, Garland should be impeached.
Elected official inciting terrorism
So, we’re going to have a prime time “hearing” on an elected official inciting violence.
Why isn’t it this one?
In a small study, 100% of patients with advanced rectal cancer were cured, with no serious side effects.
So, are we going to get it to market as fast as it can be produced? Nope, the FDA is going to demand a much larger study with diverse participants before beginning its evaluation process. At best, it will be available in 2 to 3 years.
Can’t take any chances that there might be adverse side effects, can we?
Really? What side effects would there be that are worse than ass cancer?
New life saving drugs should be available to fully informed patients immediately, more thorough studies can be done in parallel with saving the most lives.
WSJ Defense Production Act for Solar Power?
The Defense Production Act was intended to mobilize sectors of the economy to support a war effort with incentives and assigned priority for resources. It was not intended to fix baby formula shortages caused by overregulation or to support an uneconomic climate agenda.
Redirecting resources means that other industries will not have the resources the market would have sent their way, there are victims balancing the beneficiaries. The presumption is that Biden is a better judge of priorities than the market.
That worked so well for the Soviet Union.
Schummer blocks Luke & Alex School Safety Act
A lot went wrong in Uvalde. There was an unlocked back door that the shooter used to gain access. Contrary to reports, there was no armed response officer there. Police waited an incredible 40 minutes before storming the classroom and ending the rampage.
The Luke and Alex school safety act, pushed by parents of Parkland shooting victims, addresses these security failures to establish best practices for hardening schools against such attacks.
Schumer has blocked the act for 3 years, including yesterday. He wants gun control and will not make schools safer until he gets his way. Even if you want gun control, what could possibly be wrong with makes schools inherently harder to attack?
The Chesapeake school my grandchildren go to has already adopted many hardening procedures on their own. There are several exits that can be opened from the inside, sounding an alarm, but only one way in, through locked steel doors which will only be buzzed open after you have been checked out by the reception desk. Why is that not standard practice?
Why does Schumer seek to block developing best security practices? Does he want the dying to continue until he gets his way?
