We don’t have a gun problem, we have a Democrat problem

Democrat cities are the problem 

“Democrat crime cities and counties have created a massive social problem that otherwise would hardly exist. As the study notes, “If the 1% of the counties with the worst number of murders somehow were to become a separate country, the murder rate in the rest of the US would have been only 4.31 in 2020. Removing the worst 2% or 5% would have reduced the US rate to just 3.71 or 2.99 per 100,000, respectively.” We could have the murder rate of New Zealand.”

The Heartland is up to its ears in guns and is one of the safest places on Earth.

You Have Witnessed History Today in Moscow and It Is Consequential

Source: A Son of the New American Revolution.

I have seen a little, but not much, commentary on Xi Jinping’s trip to Moscow. This one — typos and all — will have to do.

I agree with the writer that the deepening alliance between Russia and China represents a turning point in history, one that is happening now in part because we have a weak president and corrupt political institutions.

A troubling trend for red state women.

Vague, draconian anti-abortion laws are pushing doctors out of some states. Why even risk the legal, financial and career risks on problem pregnancies, even with assurances of allowable “exceptions”. Someone complains and, at best, a doctor needs to hire an attorney. Who needs that aggravation? Or risk?

This issue is not going away. And, ironically, it is the anti-abortion movement that will keep it alive and well for 2024. Keep it up folks. It’s a real vote getter. IMO

Still a mystery.

Who sabotaged the Nordstream pipelines?

The answer is We do not know.

However, we do know that some of the theories and claims that have been made do not stand up to the available evidence. A stand-out among these debunked claims is the story by Seymour Hersh that it was an American operation using Norwegian vessels. Wired describes the work of the independent people using available data sources to investigate the claims.

Typical “Conservative” Speaks Up.

If cherry-picked nuts on Tik-Tok are going to be representing the Left I nominate this broadcaster as a fine exemplar of modern conservative thinking.

Urging the execution of public figures is an abuse of First Amendment rights and ought to be a criminal offense.

By the way, Barack Obama was born in 1961. He was two when JFK was murdered. But don’t let that get in the way of a juicy conspiracy theory.

Florida’s theater of the absurd.

“Rosa Parks showed courage. One day, she rode the bus. She was told to move to a different seat because of the color of her skin. She did not. She did what she believed was right.”

“Rosa Parks showed courage. One day, she rode the bus. She was told to move to a different seat. She did not. She did what she believed was right.”

“In 1955 Rosa Parks broke the law. In her city the law said African-Americans had to give up their seats on the bus if a White person wanted to sit down. She would not give up her seat. The police came and took her to jail.”

These are three versions submitted by a text book publisher for approval in Florida. The quotes are from the textbooks, the article is WAPO.

This is patently ridiculous and clearly a reaction to DeSantis’ war on history. The second quote makes the gentle reader wonder if she had bad breath or anything other than than she was Black and not good enough to sit up front. Is this a threat to the psyche of children in a civics class so egregious that they need to be protected?

To be fair, the choice has not been firmed up yet. But just the idea smacks of indoctrination by the right wing.

ignorance is still ignorance.
