Earlier this year, the gun control group Everytown launched a new program to train its volunteers to run for office. More than 100 people are participating in Demand A Seat this year.

Among them is Mia Livas Porter, who is running for a California Assembly seat, and whose brother, Junior, took his own life with a gun after battling mental illness. She said that for years she felt powerless — but that changed when she joined Moms Demand Action, an arm of Everytown.

“I felt empowered to use my voice as a survivor. And I saw how it could make legislative change,” Livas Porter said.

Their lives were changed by gun violence, and now they’re running for office

Wow! So much BS is such a small number of lines. Well done NPR!

Everytown did not launch a new program, but it is a rehash of a constantly failed tradition within the Gun Control community: The Waving of the Bloody Shirt. They select somebody who was a victim or related to a dastardly event where a gun was used, and the media came down like crows pecking on the corpses and then tried to use that person as political battering ram.

Here I have to confess something: I tried to remember some of the people used by Gun control in the past and short of the most recent asshole, “pillow magnate” failure David Hogg and his short-lived partner in BS Emma Gonzalez, my mind drew a blank. I had to rack my brain trying to search cases I remembered that spawned “activists” like the Incel mass killer in California and that led me to Richard Martinez, (the parent of one of the victims) and this old post where I also found the name of Colin Goddard who was supposed to be the perfect and eternal voice of Gun Control since he was indeed a survivor of the Virginia Tech massacre.  He was supposed to be the NRA killer, the Chose One to help Pass “sensitive gun control” in this country. He was courted by everybody and every news media organization, but he eventually disappeared from importance like all these “Bloody Shirt Stars” do.

About the only success story you can point out after decades of media push and millions upon millions of dollars spent in Bloody Shirt Stars is Lucy McBath whose son was killed in Florida by an idiot at a gas station over loud music or stupid crap like that. She is now  U.S. representative from Georgia’s 6th congressional district, and I seem to recall it was said she had a lot of support from Bloomberg money. But other than that, the Gun Control Rock Stars have been a miserable political failure.

And as for Mia Livas Porter, her claim to fame is she is a victim because her brother, afflicted by mental illness, killed himself with a gun. Holy shit! She is the victim! Not her emotionally sick brother, nope, she is the one suffering for his actions. How dare we challenge her victimization and not support her cause? Because we do not coddle vultures, especially the ones pecking the corpse of their own family for political or any gain.

Half in new poll say it should be illegal to deny service, employment to unvaccinated

Half of Americans believe it should be illegal for companies to deny service or employment to those who are unvaccinated, according to a new Axios-Ipsos poll.

Overall, the poll shows that 51 percent of those surveyed believe it should be illegal to deny service or employment, a view held by 55 percent of Republicans and 46 percent of Democrats.

I’m surprised that the number is that low for Republicans.

Honestly, the number should be 100% of Americans think it should be illegal to deny services or employment to the unvaccinated.

There is no way to have a unified country anymore.   Not with half the population believing that people who don’t want a vaccination against a virus that for most people has a very low mortality rate, and the vaccination doesn’t prevent transmission of the virus, should have fewer civil rights than convicted felons.

Civil rights are not dependent on getting a shot.  I’ve read the Constitution, I’m absolutely sure it says that.

A 14-year-old boy shot a would-be robber in the face Thursday after the man attacked the boy’s father at a pizza shop in Philadelphia, police say.

The events unfolded just before 10 p.m. on Thursday night at Bold Pizza. A man walked into the shop intending to rob it, police said, forcibly reaching over the counter attempting to steal money from the register.

A pizza shop employee attempted to stop the man when the attempted robber put his hands around the employee’s neck. The employee’s son, a 14-year-old boy, grabbed a gun, legally owned by the employee, from behind a counter and shot the attempted robber in the face, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Good! Philly has become a monumental shithole under whatever administration is being run by and with the added spicy flavor of the pandemic. But it seems Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney (D, no shit) still has not figured out what the hell is going on in its city and resolved to go for the old and work talking point.

“The volume of guns that are in circulation in our communities is at a record-high,” Kenney said at the press conference, calling for more gun restrictions. “[Crime guns] join a sea of illegal and legal guns that are accessible in the heat of the moment, turning what could have stayed an argument into a homicide.”

Only a dumb and mentally lock-stepped moron redefines a robbery into “an argument.” I figure he would redefine a rape as a “bad weekend lay” if it suits him politically. But that is Gun Control advocates for you:  the victims are just emotional currency needed to be traded for political power.

UPDATE: Local TV station says it was mom being attacked, not dad.

You don’t mess with mom!

Locals support the kid’s actions. Indeed!

The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) requested from the city’s COVID-19 Financial Oversight Committee a budget for new tasers, saying the ones they currently use are outdated, obsolete, and do not work properly.

MNPD Deputy Chief Chris Taylor told the committee in a December 8 meeting that the review of their taser equipment was prompted during COVID-19, while the department addressed how to arrest unruly suspects who were COVID-19 positive.

Metro Nashville Police Asks COVID-19 Budget Committee to Purchase New Tasers – Tennessee Star

OK, I am new to the state and all, but that seems to indicate a Law Enforcement agency has full access to a medical database of people infected with Chink Flu. My question is why and for what purpose? And no, I don’t think office safety is truly the motive, a suspect engaged in a criminal activity usually is not very forthcoming with the idea of identifying him/herself, so it is not after the arrest is made and an identity established that MNPD would have access to the infection status of the individual.

Now, needing tasers for known infected individuals who (for example) refuse to go to a Tennessee equivalent of Australia’s COVID camps does sound more plausible. I see you shaking your head and saying “Oh crap, he is now into the tinfoil hat mode” well, after all the shit that has happened in the last couple of years, you cannot dismiss the weird and the farfetched anymore.

Sometimes the universe just rains evidence on me.

Earlier today I published the post Leftist Diversity and Inclusion Officers on college campuses are raging Jew-haters, I’m shocked!

The universe decided to double down on me.

‘Toxic atmosphere of hatred.’ USC faculty outraged over response to student’s tweets

More than 60 faculty members at USC have signed an open letter urging the university’s leadership to “publicly and explicitly rebuke” a student for several inflammatory comments she made online earlier in the year, including a tweet saying she wanted to “kill every motherf—ing Zionist.”

In the Dec. 1 letter addressed to USC President Carol Folt, Provost Charles Zukoski and board of trustees chair Rick Caruso — the latest in a series of letters from several of the same signatories — the faculty asked officials to rebuke Yasmeen Mashayekh, a 21-year-old civil engineering student, and “to distance USC from her hateful statements.”

“The silence of our leadership on this matter is alienating, hurtful, and depressing,” the letter read. “It amounts to tacit acceptance of a toxic atmosphere of hatred and hostility.”

The university leaders said that over the summer, when the university first learned about the tweets, which have since been taken down, they removed Mashayekh from her paid mentoring position in the Viterbi School of Engineering. Screenshots of the deleted tweets were republished just before Thanksgiving by “outside organizations” that encouraged people to write to school officials about Mashayekh, who serves as a diversity, equity and inclusion senator for the Viterbi Graduate Student Assn.

Here are some selected saved Tweets:

So a Graduate Student DEI ambassador is a genocidal Jew-hater and the university is having a hard time condemning that.

I winder why?

Could it be because the DEI administration agrees with her, or wants to protect a poor oppressed female Muslim POC, or both?

This is the state of DEI on college campuses, as long as you’re not a MAGA hat wearing right-wing white guy, you can hate Jews openly all you want and the school will protect you because DEI doesn’t include Jews.

‘What if he doesn’t make it through?’ Oklahoma toddler’s arm ripped off in brutal dog attack

An Oklahoma toddler is recovering in the hospital after he was mauled by a pit bull Friday night, Tecumseh police said.

“I’ve seen dog bites in the past and experience pretty brutal dog bites with children but never a complete amputation,” said Chief JR Kidney with the Tecumseh Police Department.

When an officer arrived at 4-year-old Axel Foster’s grandparents’ home, he found the toddler’s grandmother in the driveway. He was missing his right arm just below the shoulder, police said.

The officer began applying his tourniquet from his vest. Tecumseh firefighters also arrived and began assisting with the tourniquet. Axel’s arm was missing.

“The child’s arm was still in the pen,” said Chief Kidney.

“I could see the arm inside, and one of the puppies was trying to chew on it,” said Officer Aaron McCormick in a police report.”

“When officers and animal control attempted to retrieve the arm, the dog became aggressive to them,” said Chief Kidney.

Kidney told KFOR ultimately, the dog had to be put down. It was shot and killed.

The boy’s arm could not be reattached.

The boy was trying to pet some puppies when the dog attacked.

Let me make this very clear:

If you have a pit bull near my children I will kill it.

I won’t be cruel about it.  I will use a gun of  sufficient caliber to ensure a quick and relatively painless death.

I’m just being honest with you about what will happen.
