I had to laugh at this picture, found on MeWe yesterday from a post on Twitter. Clickit to biggit. Apparently the offer was $150 for any gun handed in. That would, in theory, have brought in over $9,000, but the police haggled. According to a commenter on the thread: “Hey so we talked with… Continue reading Making money out of gun buybacks

Don’t raise the bridge – lower the river!
The headline to this post was a feature of a BBC radio Goon Show episode titled “The Sinking of Westminster Pier“, first broadcast in 1955. It was also the title of a 1968 British comedy movie. Basically, both plots involved turning accepted wisdom on its head, with comically disastrous results. Not so comical, but even… Continue reading Don’t raise the bridge – lower the river!
No wonder the criminals are winning
I was startled to see these figures. A retired Chicago Police Department Chief of Detectives, Eugene Roy, describes the situation. … police in Chicago are understaffed and under supported by leadership, which has led to plummeting morale and skyrocketing anxiety. “The suicides and the current climate go hand in hand,” Roy said, explaining that… Continue reading No wonder the criminals are winning
That’s telling them!
I have to admit, Rep. Matt Gaetz can aggravate, agitate and discombobulate progressive leftists like few other politicians can, when he puts his mind to it. His latest is a doozy. On Saturday, Gaetz spoke to college students at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, saying women protesting abortion access are… Continue reading That’s telling them!
“We cannot get back to normal because normal is not allowed”
That’s from Neil Oliver, whom we’ve met in these pages before on several occasions. Usually a transcript of his comments is available on GB News, but for some reason this past weekend’s commentary hasn’t been put up there in anything but video form. Nevertheless, it’s (as always) wisdom worth hearing from an incisive observer… Continue reading “We cannot get back to normal because normal is not allowed”
Schools as propaganda and indoctrination mills
I haven’t spoken much about the crisis of indoctrination and political correctness at our schools, because I don’t have children of my own and I’m somewhat remote from the problem. Nevertheless, it’s grown to the point that it is (or should be) a national scandal at present. The fact that it isn’t is an… Continue reading Schools as propaganda and indoctrination mills
The anti-meat propaganda war is dialing up
We’ve discussed on several occasions how the World Economic Forum’s “Build Back Better” initiative includes discouraging the use of meat, instead encouraging us to eat insects and their byproducts. It’s noteworthy that many W.E.F. advocates (take a bow, Bill Gates) are investing in insect processing plants to produce such food . . . and… Continue reading The anti-meat propaganda war is dialing up
The “deafening media silence” about global protests
We’ve mentioned the global protests and uprisings against the “Build Back Better” agenda sponsored by the World Economic Forum and others. However, there’s been surprisingly little said about them in the mainstream media. It’s almost as if they don’t exist, as far as most journalists and editors are concerned. Sky News Australia recently hosted… Continue reading The “deafening media silence” about global protests
“If the collective governments of the Western world were trying to impoverish and starve their own citizens, what exactly would they be doing differently?”
That’s the question asked by Kit Knightly at Off-Guardian. Writing about the farmers’ protests in the Netherlands, he points out: While the scheme is allegedly about limiting nitrogen and ammonia emissions from urine and manure it’s hard not to see this in the broader context of the ongoing created food crisis. The Netherlands produces… Continue reading “If the collective governments of the Western world were trying to impoverish and starve their own citizens, what exactly would they be doing differently?”
Climate change theory meets hard reality: the assault on fertilizers
We’ve seen how, over the past several decades, “global warming” or “climate change” have become buzzwords for increasing attempts to regulate and control human behavior. It used to be that proponents of a given philosophy or way of life would seek to be elected to office, then use that office to implement their plans… Continue reading Climate change theory meets hard reality: the assault on fertilizers
