ANY LIST OF “INFLUENTIAL” SCIENCE FICTION AUTHORS THAT DOESN’T INCLUDE HEINLEIN IS NOT ONLY BIASED. IT’S STUPID AND TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING:  On Impact.

CLIMBING A HILL OF CORPSES TO HOLD SUPPOSED MORAL HIGH GROUND IS SO BECOMING:  Top Democrats Call For Senate Vote On Gun Reform Bills.

Also, dear Dems, give it up. None of us believe that criminals obey laws. Anyone who has spent time in Europe knows that their gun laws don’t mean lower crime. Great Britain is now trying to ban any perforating object. This doesn’t work. What works is an armed and prepared populace. Also, no. Because the second amendment that’s why. And we don’t care if the president is wobbly on this — he is. — What you guys don’t get is that cult of personality is YOUR disease, not ours.

THE LEFT CAN RELY NEITHER ON IDEAS NOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. SO… WE HAVE MAGICAL CHILDREN:  Teenagers are Not Experts on Policy. Just Stop.

I’m frankly amazed they haven’t started tweeting sage comments from their cats and dogs on gun control and monetary policy. These crazy apocalyptic cults usually involve talking animals, as well as miraculous children.

OH, IT’S WORSE THAN THAT. THE LEFT HAS CROSSED OVER TO CALLING ANYONE ON THE RIGHT “WHITE SUPREMACISTS” NO MATTER WHAT LACK OF SENSE THAT MAKES:  Stop calling white supremacists “far right”.

Of course, they also call American Patriots “white nationalists.” And then they tell us that’s because we’re only thinking of a white America. Even though no one I know of thinks that.
It occurs to me if the left only rid itself of the idea they can read minds, they’d be far more rational and connected to reality.  OTOH, it WOULD lose them their vast unearned sense of superiority, so it will probably never happen.

PARSING THROUGH A CRAZY MAN’S MUSINGS AND USING THEM TO ATTACK THOSE YOU DON’T LIKE ONLY PROVES YOU’RE INSANE YOURSELF. OR MALICIOUS:  The El Paso Blame Game.

OPEN THREAD: Make tonight yours.

BRIAN CATES IS ON A ROLL TODAY.

Just one sample:

DON’T DELAY GETTING TO THE E.R.: For stroke treatment, even 15 minutes can make a difference in outcome. “The researchers reported that treatment administered just 15 minutes sooner resulted in 15 fewer deaths per every 1,000 patients. In addition, the earlier treatment resulted in 17 people per 1,000 being able to walk out of the hospital under their own power and 22 people per 1,000 were able to care for themselves outside of the hospital. The findings shine new light on the importance of recognizing and acting quickly on the early signs of a stroke.”

OBVIOUSLY A REAL TEA PARTY TYPE: The Dayton Shooter Was The Lead Singer Of A “Pornogrind” Metal Band. “Another dime a dozen Ohio grind dude who caped progressive politics while treating women like shit.” In other words, a typical progressive dude.

UPDATE: From the comments:

The hilarious level of self-unawareness is amazing. The first tweet highlighted, paraphrasing “He’s not a leftist, he had bad attitude towards women.”

Dude, that is the definition of male feminist.

The reason that so many feminists have a jaundiced view of men, which really surprises both conservative men and women, is because these feminists are interacting with leftist douchebags. Matt Lauer, Leftist, rape room with a buzzer. The list goes on. These are the men that feminists see. They’re not interacting with Mike Pence kind of guys.

Nope.

NOT THE BABYLON BEE: CNN Announces New Anti-Gun Show Trial, Hosted By Antifa Backer.

UPDATE: Dana Loesch knows how this will play out:

“Given how disastrous the last one was for civil discourse on the issue I have zero expectation that this one will be any better,” Loesch told the Washington Examiner. “It’s a difficult thing to ask viewers to suspend their reality and accept Cuomo, who has been quite partisan on the issue, as a sudden neutral moderator. Right off the bat it doesn’t seem like a good-faith gesture of objectivity.”

The town hall was given a Walter Cronkite award in 2019 for best “National Network News Program” for helping to “advance the national conversation on gun control and violence.”

That’s a depressingly appropriate award for the network, given Cronkite’s endless ability to mouth the then-latest Democratic Party talking points.
