LEBRON JAMES’ SON IS GETTING FLAK FROM SPORTS JOURNALISTS because he has a cute blonde 17-year-old girlfriend. Well, so did I when I was 18, but I wasn’t black, and interracial dating apparently upsets our “progressive” sports journos now, I guess because they’re garbage people.

If you haven’t been able to deprogram the recycling religionists in your household, you might show them this video from Kite and Key Media, which uses gentle humor to present the facts. Another of their videos exposes the follies of the war on plastic, which I’ve argued is the modern equivalent of the sumptuary laws formerly used by nobles to keep the peasants and bourgeoisie in their place.

BEFORE I ACCUSE THE PRESIDENT OF LYING (OR JUST ANOTHER “GAFFE”): I regularly read the DNC talking points and fundraising emails. In today’s missive (below), President Biden said:

“I’ve spent my career working to pass common-sense gun laws. We know that when we passed the assault weapons ban, mass shootings went down. We know that gun manufacturers have spent two decades marketing assault weapons which make them the largest profit. We must have the courage to stand up to the industry and the lobbies.” (Emphasis added).

I am not a firearms or ordinance expert, and ask IP readers to explain to me the following:

1. Is it true that “Assault Weapons” are the manufacturer’s “most profitable” products? Profit (and Biden may not understand this) does not mean total revenue, but rather gross revenue less cost of good sold per unit;
2. Is it provable or possible that the number of “assault weapons” sold includes military and law enforcement sales, which would artificially juke Biden’s numbers whether he understands “profit” or not.
