Joe Biden is inciting political violence
Last week, the president of the United States delivered a bizarre address in support of the so-called “For the People Act,” which presumes to take away the discretion of state legislatures over elections in their states. President Joe Biden described as “vicious” the recent voting laws passed in Georgia and Texas, saying they were meant to “intimidate poll workers.” The president condemned the proposed laws of these two states as “21st-century Jim Crow.”
Joementia’s home state of Delaware has stricter voting laws that the proposed changes he’s complaining about.

A.U.D.I.T. of Elections: Why Do Democrats Fear a Forensic Audit in Pennsylvania?
Democrats are apoplectic about the possibility of an audit of three counties in Pennsylvania. Since everybody from The Hologram on down claims that the 2020 election “was the most secure in US history,” what do they have to fear? Or, more accurately, what are they trying to hide?
The ‘Silent Majority’ Is Rapidly Becoming the ‘Angry Majority’
The “silent majority” was mentioned by President Nixon in 1969, who labeled middle Americans who weren’t protesting the Vietnam war or joining the counter culture — two activities being over-reported by the media of the day. The silent majority didn’t speak up much but respected traditional American values with a good-natured approach to political issues.
How Black Rifle Coffee Used Every Trick In The Book to Fool Conservatives
Black Rifle Coffee Company was supposed to be a company that countered the effete stereotypes of other coffee sellers. When Starbucks promised to hire refugees, BRCC pledged to hire veterans. The company ran a promotion donating free bags of coffee to police officers. Its products are adorned in pro-military, pro-police kitsch. Black Rifle was supposed to be the rare company willing to openly market to the majority of America that doesn’t enjoy riots, protesting the flag, 13-year-olds getting castrations or double mastectomies, and every other piece of the ideological package that has become America’s de facto ruling ideology.
Sike!
Black Rifle actually hates populists and conservatives. In fact, it’s willing to pay you to never be their customer again. That’s the takeaway from the company’s 7,000-word profile in The New York Times last week.
Inflated Reporting of COVID Deaths Is a Real Conspiracy
In the early months of 2020, many mainstream news media laughingly called concerns that there were more deaths reported from COVID than could be attributed to the disease a “death toll conspiracy”1 they said was led by conservative Republicans and “anti-vaxxers.”2 Yet, a few short months later, data confirm what many already knew: The number of people who died “from” COVID-19 were not the same as those who died “with” COVID-19.
Vaccine passports are an unnecessary infringement on civil liberties

Canadian Gun Rights Activist Blasts Buyback
The term “buyback” isn’t just a loaded term in the gun world, it’s a misnomer. It implies that guns were someone else’s first and that the entity holding the buyback is simply buying them back. That’s generally not the case. However, the term gets used whenever a government offers money for guns. It’s the term the Canadian government is using for their efforts and they’re far from the first to use it.
