Ah, now I see what you were doing. Apologies.

So again, to be fair, there are absolutely people who want all three of those things to be real. They are the fringes of our political parties (to varying degrees as I think a LOT of history buffs [/s] would love to see guns banned completely), but they do exist. And they would love for society to "force" those things to be accepted law/reality.

Now look at Climate Change. You've got countries in the EU culling cattle and passing laws blocking their farmers from farming. You've got AOC and her ilk trying to pass "The New Green Deal" that specifically says "kill all the cattle". We're already overfishing the planet. Growing crops is just as bad as raising cattle, and in some cases worse. What does that leave for a food source? They may not be saying it right now, but please show me what other logical conclusion can be reached?

Is that definitely the plan? Probably not. It'd be giving our leaders a bit too much credit. They're not exactly known for long term thinking. However, could we end up there thanks to a whole bunch of short sighted decisions that paint us into a corner? That sounds like something they would do...

In other news, Fox News talking head sticks foot into mouth.

Credit to the person behind the Auschwitz Twitter account for not stooping to name calling, understanding what the dipshit (see what I did there?) was trying to say, but still correcting him.

Just drove 2500 miles through the Great Plains. Saw hundreds of cattle herds out in the grasslands, tens of thousands of cows. And there was still room for tens of thousands of TIMES more than that.... The great majority of the time you saw grassland out to the horizon, and no cows

The anti-cow lobby is lying about something, for some reason.

The real criteria was: states that elect Republicans and don't match our politics.

A Sound of Freedom funder was charged July 21 with felony child kidnapping
One of the investors who helped bring the anti-child trafficking movie "Sound of Freedom" to theaters has been arrested and charged in Missouri with kidnapping a child.

St. Louis police confirmed to Newsweek that 51-year-old Fabian Marta, whose name appeared in the credits as an investor in the film, was charged July 21 with felony child kidnapping and arrested two days later. His booking photo appears to match those from a Facebook account celebrating the movie as important and necessary.

"The Sound of Freedom movie tackles a very tough subject, and took extraordinary effort to bring it to movie theaters," read one since-deleted Facebook post on that account. "I'm proud to have been a small part of it. If you see the movie look for 'Fabian Marta and Family' at the very end of the credits."
...
The circumstances around Marta's arrest aren't clear, but he's charged with a class A felony that carries a possible penalty of 10 years to life in prison.
I assume it's one of those "Everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe is listed" type of things, not like he's a producer. But, still...

It's not uncommon for scumbags to involve themselves publicly in the fight against their own activities. They could do it as cover, because they despite their own actions, etc.

NBC article about how ridiculous it is that people think they can just change their race.

Read the article and marvel at how monumentally brain dead the people at NBC have to be that they can tell us men can get pregnant, but someone can't change their race.

Practitioners of “race change to another,” or RCTA, purport to be able to manifest physical changes in their appearance and even their genetics to truly become a different race.
That right there... think about that, NBC + others.

The response will be: "Medical science can help people change genders."

I would come back with: "Michael Jackson, Sammy Sosa, tanning, and the obvious effect climate has on skin color."

Trump accused of leading a 'criminal enterprise'
That's the page spanning banner over at CNN.com today.

Still no mention of the witness that testified before Congress saying that Biden is indeed "The Big Guy" and has been taking money from, while doing favors for foreign powers.

Also missing is this really weird "error" that happened during Trump's Georgia indictment.

Seems kind of important considering Trump's all about pushing conspiracy theories, and this is something his legal team could attack.

Not to be outdone, FOX talking head decides women are to be blamed for all crime.

We've got idiots running the government and idiots reporting the news. The U.S. doesn't stand a chance. Let's go stand by the band and enjoy the show as this ship sinks.

I dunno, I figured it's like when news companies have stories prepped for various celebrities dying, etc or other upcoming events that you know are coming (election for president, you have an article for candidate 1, another for candidate 2, etc)

To be fair to CNN, they have been very honest that Trump equals $$$ for them. So your theory could be right. This Trump stuff is making them money hand over fist, while none of their viewers give two shits about anything Biden.

Putting this here because I don't know where else to put it and it points out how bad Rolling Stone is at news, so...

Another "out of the blue" white Supremacist group appears in Florida to hold a march. Weird how these large groups seem to materialize out of thin air and then get MSM coverage at their first public protest.

Anyway, Rolling Stone painted them as big DeSantis supporters, and ended up deleting their story because the asshats in the video, literally, say fuck Trump, fuck DeSantis, and say they're voting Biden because of his support for Ukraine. They also call the right wing, the "kike wing".

(First tweet is NBC's coverage. Second tweet is mocking Rolling Stone's biased coverage.)

CNN runs opinion piece as a headline:
Trump’s gaffes should raise questions about his fitness for office

Does he mention Biden's daily gaffes? Not really. He does discuss them for a sentence, but only to say the GOP accuses Biden of having them. He doesn't actually say Biden's gaffes make him unfit for office. Does the author put a Threads address as his contact info? Yep. (If your main social media is Threads, it's because you are hiding from other opinions.)

Right above that unbiased bit of journalism is an Analysis piece that is marked as such in fine print. To be fair, marked bolder on the front page, but still run as a headline. This essentially blames the GOP for everything bad. Sadly, this is less biased than the previous piece.

I get it though. Play to your base. Plus, we're heading to an election cycle and they need to start promoting their guy.

It's just sad that this is what passes for journalism and news.

Left wing journalist shot and killed at his home. Not really news, which is a sad statement about our country. However, if you dig into the comments you will see that Scott Adams told him in 2020 that if Biden wins and he stayed in Philly, he'd be dead in a year.

Not saying Adams is a prophet, but it does make me wonder about my prior prediction about violence upon the MSM becoming more of a thing.

I'm waiting until we know more. Everyone jumped on that tech CEO SF murder, and then it turned out to be his friend.

He was shot 7 times in the chest. The killer meant it.

This wasn't a robbery gone wrong.

This is easily the worst opinion piece I've read on a MSM site in a long time.

This is putting all the blame on corporations for the out of control theft at stores and not on the people doing it or politicians enabling it.
