Permitless carry of a handgun in Texas nearly law after Senate passes 'constitutional carry' bill - TheBlaze
Permitless carry of a handgun in Texas nearly law after Senate passes 'constitutional carry' bill - TheBlaze:
"HB 1927 would recognize the United States Constitution as our permit to carry and allow all law-abiding adults, aged 21 years or older, to carry a handgun for the protection of themselves or their families, in public places, in a holster, without the requirement of a state-issued license," state Sen. Charles Schwertner (R), a sponsor of the bill, said.
A Deep Dive into Mass Shooting Data
A Deep Dive into Mass Shooting Data
Let’s grab a shovel and dig up the facts.
- Sun’s Out Gun’s Out! Mass shootings are back in the headlines. If the current trend continues, this could be the bloodiest summer in decades.
CNN wants us to think white supremacists and their cursed AR-15s are shooting up our restaurants, playgrounds, and nightclubs.
The U.S. saw a nearly 50% mega-jump in mass shootings last year over previous years:
- 2017: 347 shootings
- 2018: 336 shootings
- 2019: 417 shootings
- 2020: 610 shootings
- 2021 looks to dwarf 2020. March of 2020 spawned 25 mass shootings whereas in March of this year we had a whopping 45. If the lefty media is correct, “angry Trump-lovin’ white men” have been busy beavers.
WHAT IS A MASS SHOOTING
For this article I’m using the same definition used by the Gun Violence Archive: four or more people shot, not including the shooter, in a fluid situation. This can include drive-by shootings, gunfights between gangs, or two or more shooters redecorating a bar.
WHO SHOT WHOM...
...FINAL SHOOTING STATS
30.5 black or likely black shootings (67.7%)
7.5 Hispanic or likely Hispanic shootings (16.6%)
2 white or likely white shootings (4.4%)
1 Muslim (2.2%)
4 too little info to make a call (8.8%)...Read all.
How did the CDC get this power???-----Don Surber: Highlights of the News
Don Surber: Highlights of the News
"...ITEM 8: Reuters reported, "A federal judge on Wednesday threw out the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s nationwide moratorium on evictions, a setback for the millions of Americans who have fallen behind on rent payments during the coronavirus pandemic."
The judge is Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee. She wrote, "The question for the Court is a narrow one: Does the Public Health Service Act grant the CDC the legal authority to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium? It does not."
A pandemic does not void the Constitution, either.

Former NFL player says bringing God into schools is the only way to solve racism, economic division - TheBlaze
Former NFL player says bringing God into schools is the only way to solve racism, economic division - TheBlaze:
In an interview with the Daily Wire, Brewer — an outspoken conservative and founder of the Jack Brewer Foundation — said that educating children early will help prevent the spread of racism and more.
"Back in 2016, when [Colin] Kaepernick started kneeling, I said, 'There is something we gotta do to bring law enforcement and community and sports to be that vehicle,'" he said. "And so we started that program and partnered with a number of police athletic leagues around the country to kind of bridge that gap.
We've had proof the "experts" are self-serving charlatansfor years. Why are they still "charming" the media?-----The suicide of expertise: Glenn Reynolds
The suicide of expertise: Glenn Reynolds (from 3/20/17-It's gotten worse!)
- Americans might look back on the last 50 years and say, “What have experts done for us lately?”
"... Not only have the experts failed to deliver on the moon bases and flying cars they promised back in the day, but their track record in general is looking a lot spottier than it was in, say, 1965.
It was the experts — characterized in terms of their self-image by David Halberstam in The Best and the Brightest — who brought us the twin debacles of the Vietnam War, which we lost, and the War On Poverty, where we spent trillions and certainly didn’t win. In both cases, confident assertions by highly credentialed authorities foundered upon reality, at a dramatic cost in blood and treasure. Mostly other people’s blood and treasure.
And these are not isolated failures.
- The history of government nutritional advice from the 1960s to the present is an appalling one: The advice of “experts” was frequently wrong, and sometimes bought-and-paid-for by special interests, but always delivered with an air of unchallengeable certainty.
- In the realm of foreign affairs, which should be of special interest to the people at Foreign Affairs, recent history has been particularly dreadful. Experts failed to foresee the fall of the Soviet Union, failed to deal especially well with that fall when it took place, and then failed to deal with the rise of Islamic terrorism that led to the 9/11 attacks. Post 9/11, experts botched the reconstruction of Iraq, then botched it again with a premature pullout...
- It was experts who brought us the housing bubble and the subprime crisis. It was experts who botched the Obamacare rollout. And, of course, the experts didn’t see Brexit coming, and seem to have responded mostly with injured pride and assaults on the intelligence of the electorate, rather than with constructive solutions...Sadly, many more examples.

Antrim County: Technology Expert Witness Comparisons - Lets Fix Stuff
Antrim County: Technology Expert Witness Comparisons - Lets Fix Stuff:
On 26 April 2021, the MI AG attempted to dismiss the Antrim County Election Lawsuit filed by Attorney Matt DePerno on behalf of Antrim County resident Bill Bailey. The reason they gave for their motion? In a nutshell, they asserted that the testimony of University of Michigan Professor J. Alex Halderman discredits the testimony of the ASOG Group.
Does it? Let’s take a closer look.
Here’s a sample of the press releases related to the release of the report by Professor Halderman.

BLM Demands
ADD YOUR NAME TO CO-SIGN BLM’S 7 DEMANDS
BLM’s 7 Demands
1. Convict and ban Trump from future political office:
We are joining Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and others who are demanding Trump be immediately convicted in the United States Senate. Trump must also be banned from holding elected office in the future. Call your members of Congress and demand they support conviction by dialing (202) 224-3121.
2. Expel Republican members of Congress who attempted to overturn the election and incited a white supremacist attack:
More than half the Republican representatives and multiple senators stoked Trump’s conspiracy theories and encouraged the white supremacists to take action to overturn the election. We are supporting Rep. Cori Bush’s resolution to expel them from Congress for their dangerous and traitorous actions. We also support steps to bar them from seeking another office.
3. Launch a full investigation into the ties between white supremacy and the Capitol Police, law enforcement, and the military:
The Capitol was able to be breached and overrun by white supremacists attempting to disrupt a political process that is fundamental to our democracy. We know that police departments have been a safe haven for white supremacists to hide malintent behind a badge, because the badge was created for that purpose. We also know off-duty cops and military were among the mob at the Capitol on January 6th. Guilty parties need to be held accountable and fired. We are supporting Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s COUP Act to investigate these connections.
4. Permanently ban Trump from all digital media platforms:
Trump has always used his digital media platforms recklessly and irresponsibly to spread lies and disinformation. Now it is clearer than ever that his digital media is also used to incite violence and promote its continuation. He must be stopped from encouraging his mob and further endangering our communities, even after inauguration.
5. Defund the police:
The police that met our BLM protestors this summer with assault rifles, teargas, and military-grade protective gear were the same police that, on Wednesday, met white supremacists with patience and the benefit of the doubt, going so far as to pose for selfies with rioters. The contrast was jarring, but not for Black people. We have always known who the police truly protect and serve. D.C. has the most police per capita in the country; more funding is not the solution.
6. Don’t let the coup be used as an excuse to crack down on our movement:
In response to the coup, Politicians have already introduced the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2021. We’ve seen this playbook before. These laws are used to target Black and brown communities for heightened surveillance. Republicans are already busy trying to create an equivalence between the mob on January 6th and our Freedom Summer. We don’t need new domestic terror laws, facial recognition, or any other new police power for the state. Our government should protect righteous protest and stay focused on the real issue: rooting out white supremacy. There are enough laws, resources, and intelligence, but they were not used to stop the coup. Our elected officials must uncover why.
7. Pass the BREATHE Act:
The police were born out of slave patrols. We cannot reform an institution built upon white supremacy. We need a new, radical approach to public safety and community investment. President Biden has already drawn on the BREATHE Act in his executive actions calling for racial equity screens in federal programs, investing in environmental justice at historic levels, and engaging with system-impacted communities. The BREATHE Act paints a vision of a world where Black lives matter through investments in housing, education, health, and environmental justice.
Eight Lovely AR-15 Facts (#7 Is the Best) You Need to Argue With a Lib
Eight Lovely AR-15 Facts (#7 Is the Best) You Need to Argue With a Lib
- Show progressives your AR-15 and it’s like flashing a crucifix at a vampire. They recoil, hiss, and occasionally soil themselves.
You can’t have real AR-15 conversations with liberal komrades. It’s like discussing an iPhone with the Amish.
They know too little about the weapon to discuss it responsibly.
Here are some AR fun-fill facts in convenient (.223) bullet format;
- The AR stands for Armalite Rifle (not assault rifle) because the gun was developed by a company called “Armalite.”
- It is not an “assault rifle.”
- It’s not a machine gun either. It’s semi-automatic. One trigger squeeze gets you one commie stopper.
- They are not used in a majority of mass shootings.
- The Assault Weapons ban of 1994 didn’t keep ONE rifle from being made...
- Big, scary AR-15s actually come in many pretty colors. Great Lakes Fire Arms makes one in black cherry. You can find them in camo pink.
- More people are murdered every year by edged weapons (knives, swords, Ginsus, etc.) than by ALL rifles combined (ARs, hunting, Civil War reenactors, etc.).
- More people are murdered every year by feet and fists (Kung Fu, Krav Maga, punches) than by ALL rifles combined.

Their seeds of hate are sprouting! | Campus paper Editor in Chief 'couldn't walk past a white person without shaking'
Campus Reform | Campus paper Editor in Chief 'couldn't walk past a white person without shaking'
- A Denver student and Editor in Chief is suggesting white supremacy is to blame for the recent shooting toward Asian-Americans.
- She said the use of the phrase “China virus” is one of the components in an increase of Asian violence.
"The editor in chief of a University of Denver campus newspaper wrote an op-ed expressing her anger toward white people about the Atlanta shootings targeting Asian women.
“The shooting cannot be defined as an either/or where one must pick between gender and race,” wrote editor in chief of the DU Clarion Kiana Marsan in the piece titled “Dear White People.”
Describing how she felt after learning about the shooting, she wrote “I couldn’t walk past a white person without shaking on my way to work.”...Read all.
