As part of his ongoing push for a forced buyback of certain firearms, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke lamented that “America has more guns than human beings.”

Since cannibalism is found throughout the animal kingdom and therefore is something natural, perhaps it is time for humans to rethink the “ultimate taboo” against eating human flesh, Newsweek proposes in an article Wednesday.
There is nothing necessarily unethical or unreasonable about eating human flesh, declare psychologists Jared Piazza and Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University, but careful reasoning over the merits of cannibalism is often “overridden by our feelings of repulsion and disgust.” Continue reading “Newsweek: Time to Rethink Taboo on Cannibalism?”
Wednesday, March for Our Lives co-founder David Hogg discussed his “Peace Plan,” which is calling for the registration of all guns, implementation of “mandatory” buybacks of certain guns and pushing for other changes in gun laws.
Hogg said the plan is an “appropriate and bold response” to the “massive” amount of gun violence in the country. Continue reading “David Hogg Touts His ‘Peace Plan’ — ‘Appropriate and Bold Response’ to Gun Deaths in America”

President Trump suggested Democrats have given up any defense of the Second Amendment and pledged that he will not allow Americans’ gun rights to be swept away on the “slippery slope” of gun control.
Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday. Continue reading “President Trump: We Won’t Sacrifice Gun Rights to ‘Slippery Slope’”
The scandal-plagued J-1 visa program annually imports 100,000 low-wage and low-tax seasonal workers for use by McDonald’s, Holiday Inn, Food Lion, Disney, and many other seasonal companies.
The huge shot of “Summer Work Travel” labor arrives each year to fill seasonal jobs in holiday resorts, hotels, and harvests, and it allows companies to reduce the recruitment of young Americans for seasonal jobs. Continue reading “Gov’t Delivers 100,000 Cheap Visa-Workers to Disney, Hilton, Tourist Industry, for Summer Work”

The initials FEC stand for Federal Election Commission but the “F” might as well stand for “feckless.” The agency, according to its own words, is supposed to “promote confidence and participation in the democratic process.” It seems to be failing at its core mission.
Late last week, the two Republican FEC commissioners blocked an investigation into whether Russians used the National Rifle Association (NRA) to pump millions of dollars into the effort to help Donald Trump get elected in 2016. Continue reading “FEC Blocks Investigation into Russia-NRA Ties”
The huge mainstream media coverage of ‘Operation YellowHammer’ is a deliberate leak, not by a Remainer within the Tory ranks or cabinet – it is a leak deliberately designed to re-align public thinking on what to expect. Do not forget that in The Times article all the information provided is the minimum expected by government officials as a direct result of a hard Brexit. Just over a year ago, the hard Brexit scenario was not on the cards but specific risk and threat reports had been delivered to government officials. The main one, at the time, was called the ‘Doomsday plan’. Continue reading “Forget ‘Operation YellowHammer’ – the original one is called ‘The Doomsday Plan’”

At about 4:10 p.m. on 8 August, 2019 Dmitriy Andreychenco parked in the parking lot of the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Springfield, Missouri. He took an tactical ballistic vest out of the car, put it on, and slung a AR type rifle. He walked into the store. He was open carrying and testing his Second Amendment rights, as confirmed by his wife and his sister. He had his phone in his hand and was recording himself as he pushed a cart through the store. He never pointed the firearm at anyone or made any verbal or written threat. The Walmart manager stated he heard an employee say that Dmitriy was coming into the store with the vest and the rifle. He observed Dmitriy walking in the store aisles. He told an employee to pull the fire alarm in order to get people to evacuate the store.

Public Notice: Oath Keepers Will NOT be Participating in the August 17, 2019 “End Domestic Terrorism” Rally in Portland, OR

The notion that the U.S. economy could be in imminent danger of falling into recession became a lot less plausible Thursday morning when Walmart reported its quarterly earnings.
Walmart is the largest retailer in the U.S., with $387.66 billion in annual U.S. sales and 5,263 stores. It is also the country’s largest grocer. It arguably has more insight into the U.S. consumer than anyone else, including tech giants and government data bureaus. Continue reading “Walmart Earnings Crush Fears of Imminent Recession”

The “triggering” hit new levels during the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) National Convention in Georgia this past weekend. In leaked clips of the event, Democratic Socialists lash out at each other for various offenses, such as using “gendered language” and “whispering.” Adding to the bizarre nature of the event, which comes off as a satirical skit being laid on a bit too thick, members of DSA whine about what triggers them by first announcing a “point of personal privilege.” Continue reading “Triggering On A New Level: Video Of Democratic Socialists Of America Convention Goes Viral”
