“Nobody wants to take your guns” is a line liberal politicians have repeatedly used to assure the American people that their Second Amendment rights are safe.

But when push comes to shove, taking your guns appears to be exactly the plan.

It sure looks that way for Beto O’Rourke, at least. The Democratic presidential contender just admitted that forcing citizens to hand over their legally purchased firearms was “absolutely” in the cards if he makes it to the White House.  Continue reading “Beto O’Rourke: ‘I’m Open’ to Australian-Style Mandatory Confiscation of Guns”

President Donald Trump spoke about gun control proposals on Wednesday, as he left the White House to visit Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas where two mass shootings occurred over the weekend.

It’s apparently now a digital “crime” to try to hold police officers accountable for their behavior, as tech overlords like Facebook and Twitter ratchet up their censorship efforts against liberty-centric pages like Police The Police and Free Thought Project – both of which, prior to being axed, emphasized the importance of law enforcement accountability.  Continue reading “Police state tyranny continues as Facebook bans pages that criticize dirty cops for brutality and planting drugs”

On July 31, the New York State Board of Regents initiated a cultural revolution. The politically progressive board—which supervises all public schools in the state—voted unanimously to declare war on the “complex system of biases and structural inequities … deeply rooted in our country’s history, culture, and institutions.”

They concluded from a swath of social science studies that traditional methods of education perpetuate a culture of racism and a system of inequity. The only solution, they believe, is to incorporate into education an emphasis on “sociopolitical consciousness” that will lead to “sociocultural responsiveness” in order to supplant the dominant framework.  Continue reading “New York’s Cultural Revolutionary Education Reforms”
