From Ben Shapiro:
“As it turns out, the logic of the Left is now that, if you are a trans person who murders a bunch of Christian school kids, this is the fault of the society that refuse to accept you for who you truly are.”
Don’t get me started…

Quote Of The Day
From Theodore Dalrymple:
“There is often more heroism in a life of quiet decency than in one of flamboyant deeds; but our minds are like those of bower birds, attracted to the bright, shiny, meretricious, and sensational.”
I wish I could write like that. The thought isn’t even central to Dalrymple’s essay; it just sits there, like a beautiful flower at the side of a busy interstate.
Quote Of The Day
From Insty, his own self:
“A government that feels threatened by these books is a government that deserves to be overthrown.”
And Orwell’s 1984 is doubleplusungood because it’s their proprietary instruction manual.
Quote Of The Day
From an exasperated restaurant owner, who just put a “No Kids Under 10” rule in place:
“We don’t hate your kids. We hate your parenting.”
Now go to the source (thankee, Reader Sean F.) and watch the embedded video.
Feel the rage build — yours — as events unfold. (keywords: New Jersey)
Quote Of The Day
From Othias at C&Rsenal, talking about the Russian Contract Winchester 1895:
“I can’t be held responsible for what you learn in fiction.”
In context, he was talking about people whose sole exposure to guns is through RPG-play on their computers, but if you think about it, it’s applicable to so many other areas: movie depictions of gunplay, books’ descriptions of romance, movie depictions of auto-driving, newspaper hypotheticals, and let’s not forget political hyperbole (e.g. the 9mm Europellet “blowing a lung out of the body”). All fiction, and all often paraded as fact when of course they aren’t, no matter how plausible.
Quote Of The Day
From Rick Manning at ALG:
“America has seen what the FBI does when they’re serious, with 6 a.m. raids on targets of investigations if they’re in the wrong political party and kid gloves for the Democrats who have apparently become the official party of the government.”
Fire them all, burn down their buildings (especially that totalitarian concrete block in D.C.), salt the earth they stood on — and then we can get serious.
