It would be a policy of “you can keep your Second Amendment, if you can afford it.” As the 2024 Democratic National Convention comes to a close, many observers noted that the speakers didn’t spend much time at all on their nominee’s actual plans for the country should she be elected. Instead, most of the…
For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “CCRKBA Was Right Again.” It’s been said that the four most hateful words in the English language are “I told you so.” Thing is, sometimes you just have to say them, especially if the thing you told them would have prevented a tragedy…
Within moments of the Harris campaign’s choice of Gov. Walz, social-media shills all started describing him as “America’s Dad.” More like your drunk uncle who isn’t invited to Thanksgiving anymore after “the incident”… … Although, to be fair, with Gov. Walz, there’s more than one “incident.” There was the time he was busted going 200%…
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…
For decades, America has treated Vice Presidents as literal “also-rans.” This was a mistake. Let’s not make it again. Our general disregard for the importance of the VP role extends to both sides of the aisle, and it’s something of a running joke in American politics. We like to tot up the flaws of the…
The city of New Orleans doesn’t believe it’s in America. Part of the reason why is that for the first half of its existence, it actually wasn’t American. The city’s founding predates the American Revolution and it has been in French, Spanish, and then finally in American hands. The other part of the reason why…
We, as a society, have defined “dangerous” down. That’s a bad thing. When most of us–even the most dedicated pro-2A activists–hear about gun laws that prevent convicted felons from possessing firearms, we shrug. That’s because most of us have a different definition of a “felon” than much of the U.S. government. As NRA’s Institute for…
Clown-Town’s anti-gun journalists–but we repeat ourselves–have a new trauma to trumpet! It’s official: Chi-Town is now Clown-Town. The city’s leaders care more about the “trauma” of reading crime statistics then the actual crimes being committed. Furthermore, the journalists of The Chicago Tribune are far more worried about an armed citizen defending himself than they are…
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…
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.” –C.S. Lewis The best way to tell whether someone wants to end American freedom for good is to check how angry he is about the separation of powers in our government. Anyone who says out loud he…
By now, you’ve no doubt heard of Bryan Malinowski’s death at the hands of ATF during a no-knock early-morning raid. If not, the short version of the tragic story is that, in March 2024, he and his wife awoke to the sounds of their door being broken down by ATF agents. Malinowski apparently didn’t understand…
