Four Fabrications About Firearms - Intellectual Takeout

Four Fabrications About Firearms - Intellectual Takeout

"According to two recent op-eds published by the New York Times:

• “more guns means more murder.”
• “more guns means less safety.”
• “a gun is 22 times more likely to be used in a criminal assault, an accidental death or injury, a suicide attempt or a homicide than it is for self-defense.”
• “gun-owning households were 41 percent more likely to experience a homicide and 244 percent more like[ly] to experience a suicide.”

As detailed below, all of those claims are rooted in misleading or blatantly false evidence. 

By spreading this misinformation, the Times and the authors of these pieces may deceive people into making decisions that lead to suffering and deaths.

Watch: Kari Lake Lists Many Times Democrats Were 'Election Deniers':

The moment occurred during a campaign stop on Tuesday when a reporter asked Lake about a recent spike in Google searches for her name and how so many people wanted to know if she was a “election denier.”

"...If you work in a corporation, you might have been mandated by the diversity, equity, and inclusion department to attend a workshop based on Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility.” 
...Anyway, the video asks the simple question, “What are white people superior at?” It’s a bit of a loaded question to start with, but that’s the point, isn’t it?

Doh!

"Even after the Capitol riot show’s season finale, partisan programming may continue.

• ...As for the deniers conducting these proceedings, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D., Miss.) was among the 31 Democrats who sought to prevent the certification of the re-election of President George W. Bush in 2005.
• Committee stalwart Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) has a long history of refusing to accept Republican wins. He recommended dismantling the Electoral College after the 2000 election and after the 2016 election he attempted to prevent the certification of Donald Trump’s victory and then boycotted the inauguration.
• And who could forget Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), who helped poison our politics by spending years falsely claiming to have “more than circumstantial evidence” of Trump campaign collusion with Russia?...

Jill Biden bombarded with boos, 'FJB' chants at Eagles game. But neither could be heard on NBC broadcast: Report - TheBlaze: 

First lady Jill Biden reportedly did not receive a warm reception at Lincoln Financial Field, the home of her beloved Philadelphia Eagles.

Awesome Actual Diversity Among GOP Candidates Owns the Libs

Awesome Actual Diversity Among GOP Candidates Owns the Libs - Kurt

• Liberal "diversity" is stupid and evil, and we should utterly reject it. 
• It's based on the origin of grandparents and other meaningless box-checks involving stuff like genitalia and genitalia preferences, and it has resulted in a grim uniformity in the kind of humorless pinko dorks who make up the Democrat candidate roster...
• But the kind of diversity Republicans are demonstrating is something totally different. It has nothing to do with what continent their ancestors came from, what religion they adhere to, or even how they pee. It's conservative diversity – nominating a broad range of exceptional people with unique skill sets leveraged for maximum effect...

Top 10 Scapegoats If Democrats Lose the Midterms

Top 10 Scapegoats If Democrats Lose the Midterms

"...If Democrats lose, they are going to blame everyone but themselves for the outcome. 

Here are the top 10 scapegoats Democrats are likely to blame for the party's poor performance at the ballot box in November.

10) Vladimir Putin - ...If Democrats lose, there's a good chance that some politicians and media pundits will suggest (without evidence) that Russian hacking played a role in their defeat.

7) The Lincoln Project - ... a poor showing in the midterms might finally make Democrats angry enough to denounce these shameless grifters for raking in millions from liberal donors that might otherwise have gone to organizations that care about winning elections.

5) White women - Democrats losing control of Congress will inspire at least a dozen think pieces about how white women are complicit in the "dismantling of democracy"

4) The media - ...Democrats will inevitably complain that mainstream outlets should have spent less time covering inflation, crime, and immigration—issues voters actually care about—as opposed to the January 6 hearings.

3) "Hispanic white supremacists" - ... Expect to see an explosion of hot takes about how Hispanics who don't vote for Democrats are betraying their own community and imperiling democracy by embracing white supremacy...
