On Wednesday, there are facts that do not matter. And more.

By Donald Sensing

What facts do not matter? "All of them," when it comes to verified firearms data. For example, the facts about "assault" rifles: Does it matter to the Left that Research refutes ‘assault weapon’ bans or  buybacks? Of course not. Or even that more than 20 years of FBI data show that such firearms pose relatively little threat to public safety? Nope.

So what's going on, then?

Gun control—whether an assault weapon ban, prohibition on concealed carry, or restrictions on gun shows—is the simulation of a tough-on-crime measure.
Gun control is how Democrats pretend that they are serious people thinking serious thoughts about a truly serious fact: that in America today, young black men are murdering other young black men -- and occasional bystanders, including children -- in carload lots. But almost all these killings are in jurisdictions where Democrats have ruled without a break for many years, usually decades. So that subject and associated facts are simply off limits.

Because:

So why do they beat their chests about confiscating guns from everyone else? Well, the pretense is one reason, but also they just hate firearms, they hate the (white) people who use them, and they do not care about the facts. After all, as Biden and AOC have both said, they deal in Truth, not mere facts. And the only important Truth in their minds is that they must be in charge, they must have control, and the rest of us must submit. Gun control is merely a presenting issue.


Iran attacks Saudi Arabia - the facts and background. Retired US Army Col. Austin Bay explains, no politics.

So the guy who made up "social construction" eats humble crowConfessions of a Social Constructionist:
Back then, quite a few people disagreed with me. Almost nobody who hadn’t been exposed to such theories at a university could bring themselves to believe that sex was wholly a social construct, because such beliefs went against common sense. That’s what makes it so amazing that the cultural turnaround on this issue has happened so quickly. Reasonable people might readily admit that some—and maybe a lot—of gender identity is socially constructed, but did this really mean that sex doesn’t matter at all? Was gender solely based on culture? Yes, I would insist. And then I would insist some more. There’s nothing so certain as a graduate student armed with precious little life experience and a big idea.

And now my big idea is everywhere. It shows up especially in the talking points about trans rights, and policy regarding trans athletes in sports. It is being written into laws that essentially threaten repercussions for anyone who suggests that sex might be a biological reality. Such a statement, for many activists, is tantamount to hate speech. If you take the position that many of my ’90s-era debating opponents took—that gender is at least partly based on sex, and that there really are two sexes (male and female), as biologists have known since the dawn of their science—uber-progressives will claim you are denying a trans person’s identity, which is to say, wishing ontological harm upon another human being.
If you don't know exactly what "social construction" means, read the whole article and also my essay on linguistic deconstructionism.

As I said years ago, now more and more people are realizing that the global warming scare is really just The Perfect Trojan Horse For Tyranny.

So just pray for atheists in secret, as Jesus said to do. Not sure I care what they want:


Ah, those peaceful, placid socialist Swedish people! Wait, what ... ? Even Swedish Socialism was Violent.

Violent socialism? There has in fact never been another kind. When Sweden was full socialist from the 1930s to the 1970s, their,
... welfare system developed in explicit conjunction with a violent and coercive eugenics policy, intended to ensure its fiscal solvency and prevent abuses of its programs by persons who were deemed genetically “unfit” by the state.
One of the priorities socialist governments always have, everywhere they come into power, is to start identifying what classes of people they are going to kill. Because socialism is based on class struggle, and you better believe that all classes are not equal when socialists take over.

We gotcher UFOs rat cheer! The Navy Says Those UFO Videos Are Real. Which is to say, the videos are real, but the Navy is not saying the UFOs are. They are “unexplained aerial phenomena,” doncha no. Like this:



And finally... 


Ya'll have a nice day!
