A wise man once said: There are lies, damn lies, and mainstream American journalism. If you’ve ever wondered how otherwise relatively intelligent people can get caught up in a wave of anti-gun hysteria, look no further than the magnificent failure that is modern mainstream media. Most Americans are busy people; we have jobs, families, hobbies,…
We live in a time when, every single time a horrific crime is committed with a gun, the media rushes out to blame…well, all of the people who didn’t do it. But why? Of course, nobody’s talking–but I have a few ideas on the matter… The Charitable Explanation The charitable explanation is that it’s just…
Last week, when we were talking about my “can’t-miss” plan to stop mass shootings, the discussion centered (somewhat snarkily) on what the media and we, the reading public, could do to deter would-be shooters. That “modest proposal” had one fatal flaw, however: It would have required the cooperation of the media, and therefore wouldn’t be…
Say, when was the last time you saw anti-gunners marching for “our” lives? It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Take a moment and run some phrases like “protest against gun violence” or “demonstration against lax gun laws” through your favorite search engine. Notice that, to the extent that there are any recent ones, they’re local…
Everybody panic! It’s a pandemic! (But they just want “two weeks to flatten the curve.”) The last five years have been deeply corrosive to our nation in so many ways, but chief among them has to be the way in which our trust in the nation’s doctors (and the federal institutions like the Centers for…
Don’t let the doorknob hit ya, Stevie-Boy. Steve Dettelbach, the current director of the ATF, has announced that he will resign effective January 18, two days before Donald Trump is sworn into office. His resignation letter, dated December 20, hit the news on December 30. This wasn’t a mistake; it’s common practice to “dump” news…
Why do otherwise intelligent-seeming Americans think there’s no such thing as “good guys with guns”? That question haunts a lot of Second Amendment advocates, including me. I’m not talking about anti-gun mouthpieces, but ordinary citizens who have become convinced that having a gun makes you umpteen-diddly-thousand percent more likely to hurt yourself with it than…
Every day, we get a little further through Lewis Carroll’s storied “looking glass.” Up is down. Black is white. Russia invaded Ukraine under Trump. Springfield, Ohio is doing just ducky. (See what I did there?) Kamala Harris wants a border wall, and she never said she’d ban guns. Does it matter that the mainstream media…
It’ s called the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), and it’s the #1 publication for doctors in the U.S. The politicization of medical science may be the most dangerous and damaging thing that has happened to medicine since the lobotomy craze of the 1950s. In fact, it’s hard not to speculate that the team…
If you ever had any doubt that Big Tech has its thumb on the scale, here’s your proof … We’ve reported many times on the media’s anti-Second Amendment bias. Thing is, the mainstream media has nothing on social media, especially when it comes to “low information” voters. So many Americans now rely on their social…
I love Venn diagrams! Who doesn’t love a yellow Venn diagram? NGYAGHHAAAHAA! Raise your hand if you’re fascinated by the craters on the round yellow schoolbus. NGYAGHAAHAAA! I see all of you! Raising your hands! Venn diagrams, craters, and electric schoolbus wheels are made of circles. And when those circles overlap … NGYAAGHAHAAA! We all…
Let’s have some empathy: When you’re an anti-gun Chicago alderman (but we repeat ourselves), it can be tough to stay chipper! The emotional fragility of anti-gun politicians and activists really can’t be exaggerated, and it’s hilarious. Remember the journalist who claimed he got post-traumatic stress disorder from shooting an AR-15? Or this eloquent and well-reasoned…
