Morons!-----Houston Democrats Hosted a Gun Buyback Event and One Clever Man Took Full Advantage
Houston Democrats Hosted a Gun Buyback Event and One Clever Man Took Full Advantage
"Over the weekend, Houston's Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner held a gun buyback event...
...The FAQ section for the buyback noted that there's no limit on the number of firearms that could be turned in by an individual, nor was there any restriction on the types of handguns, as long as they're functioning.
...Photos and videos from the event show authorities unloading boxes of... fresh 3D-printed firearms.
One man showed up to the buyback with dozens of 3D-printed firearms, and Houston authorities had no choice but to accept them and hand over gift cards in return.

One man showed up to the buyback with dozens of 3D-printed firearms, and Houston authorities had no choice but to accept them and hand over gift cards in return.
The real kicker: it only cost the man $3 to print each firearm, of which he made 62, and received $50 per 3D-printed gun for a total of nearly $3,000 in gift cards..."

Dems snuck unrelated spending into veterans’ bill, then ‘unleashed pseudo-celebrity’ Jon Stewart to trash GOP for opposing it"Republican Senator Pat Toomey hotly defended his vote against the burn pits bill on Sunday, calling out “pseudo-celebrities” such as Jon Stewart for attacking him and Democrats for using vets as political pawns.

Another January 6 Lie: No ‘Armed Mob’
Another January 6 Lie: No ‘Armed Mob’
- If January 6 was so bad, why do they have to keep lying about it?
...Hutchinson recalled a conversation with deputy White House chief of staff Tony Ornato, who described the cache to Meadows and her. “I remember Tony mentioning knives, guns in the form of pistols and rifles, um, bear spray, body armor, spears, and flagpoles,” she said.
...Setting aside serious questions as to why these men weren’t found and arrested given their close proximity not only to the president but numerous government officials present at the rally that morning, if true, how is that Trump’s fault?
...Setting aside serious questions as to why these men weren’t found and arrested given their close proximity not only to the president but numerous government officials present at the rally that morning, if true, how is that Trump’s fault?
- Why did Cheney assume the alleged “armed” men were Trump supporters? She had no other identifying information like, say, an arrest record detailing the motive of the suspects. Who were they? Were their weapons even real? Loaded? Further, the idea of armed marauders freely roaming downtown D.C. with impunity is absurd; the place was crawling with both undercover and uniformed agents from multiple law enforcement agencies.
- ...As of last month, according to the Justice Department, about 80 Capitol protesters have been charged with possessing a “dangerous or deadly weapon.” Examples of those weapons include pepper spray, flags, walking sticks or batons, a helmet, a taser, and a fire extinguisher—hardly the kind of items that could be successfully used in overthrowing the government..."

This is the bottom line: Transitioning away from fossil fuels with current technologies will require people to give up rights like private car ownership. The question is whether people will voluntarily surrender their liberties or whether they will be forced to.

Not Even the FDA Trusts the FDA To Regulate Food Safety
..."Even if implemented to absolute perfection"—as I detail in my book, Biting the Hands that Feed Us: How Fewer, Smarter Laws Would Make Our Food System More Sustainable— "the FDA's own best-case scenario is that [two key FSMA rules pertaining to human food] would spur a 2.6% reduction in total annual foodborne illness cases,"
- The FDA has effectively thrown up its hands over its most important food-related role.

Cross-Examining the Climate Change Cultists--Kurt Schlichter
Cross-Examining the Climate Change Cultists
...The weather cultists even have a uniquely dumb and offensive slur for people who dare test their evidence, such as it is: “Denier.”
- If you want to watch the pinkos fret, simply state the indisputable truth that what they call “climate change” is a massive hoax.
"Their fallback is inevitably that “science”...has decreed that because we peons insist on not living in caves like primitive tribesmen (okay, non-binary tribespeople) the Earth is going to cook.
...There’s no time to think, no time to reflect, and certainly no time to argue.
- Why, who are you to question the scientists?
...The weather cultists even have a uniquely dumb and offensive slur for people who dare test their evidence, such as it is: “Denier.”
