The Myth of Red State Gun Violence
Posted By: Hazymac, 2/22/2025 9:25:57 AM
One statistic that the gun-control crowd loves to toss around is that gun violence is highest in deep red states and lowest in deep blue states. And statistically speaking, they're correct. Per the CDC, the states with the highest per capita rates for gun murders are Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, and Missouri. The states with the lowest rates are Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Hawaii, New Jersey, and New York. So what's going on here? Is this simply a systemic problem of violent, gun totin', insurrectionist inbreds barreling through the backwoods in their pickup trucks, yeehawing and looking for my-NAHR-uh-ties to shoot?

replacing 'mother' with 'inseminated person'
in state law 11 replies
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, is facing backlash for introducing a budget recommendation that changes the word "mother" to "inseminated person," and "paternity" to "parentage" in certain parts of state law.
The Evers administration's budget recommendation for the 2025-2027 fiscal period advises several other gendered terms be changed, as well. References to "wife" or "husband" are changed to "spouse" in the proposal. In other places, the word "father" is changed to "parent," and "mother" is swapped out for the phrase "parent who gave birth to the child."
The budget was introduced by the state Senate's Joint Committe on Finance on Tuesday. Wisconsin radio host Dan O’Donnell noted the language change
While many in corporate state media*, and even independent media, were at some point agnostic or even enthusiastic about the fruits of Operation Warp Speed, I am proud to have been on the ball from the very beginning.
*See: Sean “Sellout Supreme” Hannity, praised on the Senate floor by Dick Durbin for pimping the shots to his own audience, which presumably relies on his recommendations. Even if he knew who I was — recognizing that I am relatively small potatoes — Dick Durbin would never praise me for anything, and that's a badge of honor.Back in 2021, I am on record reporting that the COVID-19 “vaccines” destroy the recipient’s immune system.

President Donald Trump on Friday evening fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown, who was put in place by former President Joe Biden and pushed diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Air Force.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:
I want to thank General Charles ‘CQ’ Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family.
Brown’s first term as chairman was for a four year term, through 2027.
Hooters - known for its scantily-clad waitresses - is the latest American restaurant chain facing financial problems.
Bosses at the chain are in urgent talks with lenders and advisers as the popular chain tries to address $300 million of debts, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Earlier this year, Hooters shuttered around 40 'underperforming' restaurants including locations Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia as it bid to cut costs.
But debts are mounting and more drastic action is needed for the 41-year-old brand.
If Hooters cannot refinance its debt, it would have to consider bankruptcy and more closures.

After ‘Silent Vigil’ Outside Abortion
Clinic in Scotland 10 replies
A 74-year-old woman has been charged after silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Scotland less than a week after U.S. Vice President JD Vance highlighted the draconian thought crime laws in the UK.
The pro-life activist has reportedly become the first person to be arrested and charged under Scotland’s Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act, the BBC reported.
The law, which came into force last year, prohibits any protests or vigils being held within 200m (656ft) of abortion clinics in Scotland, mirroring similar restrictions enacted in England and Wales.
In footage widely distributed on social media, the 74-year-old woman was heard asking police: “Am I committing an offence?”

American life today is characterized in no small part by nearly ceaseless exposure to LGBTQ propaganda. Everywhere you turn, you’re confronted with “the message,” be it in grade schools, on college campuses, while watching television or movies, or at work. There are no “safe spaces” sheltered from the deluge—not even FEMA’s hurricane recovery efforts have been spared.
How did such a small “community” capture America’s institutions? The answer is complex, but a new database by The Project to Expose Corporate Activism (PECA) shines a light on a significant part of the story.
PECA’s database shows that corporations have become the vanguard of the LGBTQ
During an appearance on Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” long-time Democrat strategist and media commentator James Carville declared the collapse of President Donald Trump to be underway already.
Carville, who predicted former Vice President Kamala Harris would be elected to the presidency last November, cited polling and urged Democrats to “just sit back” and let the so-called “collapse” take place.
“[L]et me back up,” he said. “We went with our seven-string quarterback, and we lost by a point and a half, and we actually picked up a congressional seat. So, if you’re asking me, did I think that she was going to win and she didn’t win? Yes,
Tensions between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are ramping up amid negotiations to ultimately end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump blasted Zelenskyy for being a “dictator without elections” who lost massive amounts of U.S. aid and was responsible for millions of unnecessary deaths. The U.S. president also blasted Zelenskyy for having a four percent approval rating. That percentage was widely contested by the media and even X’s “community notes” which claimed Zelenskyy’s approval rating is 57 percent.
As it turns out, the source of the 57 percent approval claim is suspect, at best.
“Claims that Zelensky has an approval rate of 57% are from the Kyiv International Institute

two FBI agents after Biden commuted his sentence 10 replies
A so-called Native American activist convicted of murdering two FBI agents in 1975 was welcomed home by a congressional Democrat on Tuesday after former President Joe Biden commuted his sentence.
According to the FBI, in 1975 two FBI agents named Jack Coler and Ronald Williams traveled to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota to serve arrest warrants for robbery and assault.
What ensued next was a shoot-out during which the two agents were killed at close range by activist Leonard Peltier. (X) “An examination of the physical evidence concluded that Agents Williams and Coler had been killed at close range by a .223 type bullet,” the FBI notes.

We need someone of Freud’s intelligence to write a book on the psychopathology of Islamist terrorism. Rather than producing the fourth hostage corpse — right there we have a couple of symptoms — it turns out that Hamas substituted the corpse of a random non-hostage in lieu of that of Mrs. Bibas yesterday.
At the moment Mrs. Bibas is unaccounted for. I infer that her kidnappers have murdered Mrs. Bibas, as they did the Bibas boys, but I’m beyond the limit of my insight into the psychopathology of Islamist terrorism.
Just as a reminder, Hamas had announced the return of Mrs. Bibas’s corpse along with that of her beautiful boys,
Jason Furman is a left-leaning economist who currently works at Harvard but who previously served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. So his recent takedown of Bidenomics is coming from an ally of the party not an outsider.
Furman's analysis starts with the fact that voters rejected Biden and Harris because in their view Bidenomics was not a rousing success. If you had to point to a single cause for widespread dissatisfaction with Biden's tenure, it would probably be inflation.

Leading doctors are warning that President Donald Trump is potentially letting one of the world's deadliest infections take hold in the US following his freeze on global health aid.
Dr Amesh Adalja, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg school of public health, told DailyMail.com that mpox - formerly known as monkeypox - could become a real global emergency in the wake of Trump's drastic move.
In August 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox a 'public health emergency of international concern', following a surge in cases in the The US government, up until now, has maintained partnerships in global health security and development with the DRC and throughout Africa,
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum filed a controversial series of changes to the country’s constitution that would essentially block any investigation or action by foreign law enforcement agencies without their permission. The provisions could enable Mexico to criminally pursue anyone involved in those investigations. The changes come after the United States designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and announced the intent to eradicate them.
This week, Sheinbaum filed a series of changes to the country’s constitution that, if approved by the legislative branch, would change Articles 40 and 19 of Mexico’s constitution.
LGBTQ+ identification in the United States has spiked to 9.3 percent — an increase driven by Generation Z adults, a poll has found.
The percentage of U.S. adults who say they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than heterosexual has nearly doubled from 2020 and is up from a mere 3.5 percent in 2012, according to the Gallup survey. “In the 12 years that Gallup has been tracking LGBTQ+ identification, it has nearly tripled, as those becoming adults during that period have been far more likely than their elders to say they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender,” Gallup “The recent increase is largely due to

It’s Time for Israel to Unleash Hell

After Hamas terrorists paraded the coffins of the Bibas children around Gaza before their Thursday release, it was hard to imagine that there was any room for the family’s tragic ordeal to get even worse. And yet, somehow it has.
A short while ago, the Israel Defense Forces announced a forensics examination identified Kfir and Ariel Bibas (who were nine months old and four years old at the time of their abduction) as two of the bodies returned by Hamas, determining that they were brutally murdered in November 2023.
While this tragic news was expected, another detail came as a shock: “During the identification process, it was determined
A majority of Americans agree with President Donald Trump’s embrace of biological truth in recognizing only two biological sexes — but most Democrats do not — a Quinnipiac survey found.
The survey — gauging sentiments on many of Trump’s early moves — asked respondents, “Do you support or oppose President Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female, in the United States?” Most, 57 percent, support it, compared to 38 percent who oppose it. There are varying opinions on party lines, as over three-fourths of Democrats — 77 percent, oppose the executive order recognizing biological truth. Only 14 percent of Democrats support the order.

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett disclosed on Friday that she is “rooting for” Canada and Mexico due to their opposition to President Donald Trump’s administration. Trump influenced both Canada and Mexico to pledge on Feb. 3 to bolster their border security efforts with the United States in exchange for a 30-day pause on the 25% tariffs he had announced. Crockett, on “The Breakfast Club,” admitted it is “really wild” that she is supporting these nations over her own, but said she appreciated their defiance of the Trump administration.

The fiery hosts at ABC’s “The View” have faced pressure to dial back their anti-President Trump rhetoric — even as “morale is low” among staffers following layoffs and unpopular cost-cutting moves, The Post has learned.
A source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the mood on the set is increasingly tense at the daytime talk show.
That’s partly because Brian Teta, executive producer of “The View,” spoke to staffers about “going easy” on Trump-related commentary in the days leading up to the 47th president taking the oath of office,
President Donald Trump announced Thursday his intention to personally inspect the United States’ gold reserves housed at Fort Knox.
This announcement comes amid growing speculation regarding the actual contents of the United States Bullion Depository.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for a long-overdue audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox—reportedly something that hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years.
The Trump administration is considering steps that could give it more control over the independent US Postal Service, according to multiple published reports. It’s a move that could upend how Americans get critical deliveries including online purchases, prescription drugs, checks and vote-by-mail ballots.
The Washington Post first reported late Thursday, citing numerous anonymous sources, that President Donald Trump planned to disband the US Postal Service’s Board of Governors and place the agency under direct control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Wall Street Journal also Friday reported on the plan to dissolve the commission, citing government officials.
The Postal Service did not respond to requests for comment.
