his monologue from last night's Real Time with Bill Maher is the definition of a must-watch. The guy who came out pro-baby murder (in his own words) last week made it his mission this week to protect kids. This guy doesn't even like kids, but he sees what we've been pointing out for years. After the video, I'll summarize Maher's points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGtseVUw-_MGuys, this monologue has EVERYTHING! Like, I think he may have stumbled across Not the Bee before putting this monologue together. Maher goes through the recent Quiet on Set documentary, highlighting sexual abuse that happened at Nickelodeon. Something that's...

A paper at the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), founded by researcher John Lott, shows how faith in the police, arrest rates, and crime reporting are all interrelated. The paper is titled ” The Collapse in Law Enforcement: As Arrest Rates Plummet, People Have Been Less Willing to Report Crime,” published on April 5, 2024. As faith in the police collapses, reporting of crime drops, and so do arrest rates and clearance rates for both violent crimes and property crimes. This has the classic look of a positive feedback loop. The consequences are far from positive. It is not a...

On March 11, 2024, Dr. John Lott debated the eminent law professor Sanford Levinson on the subject: Was the Second Amendment a Mistake? The debate lasted about an hour. It was held at the University of Wisconsin and started at 6:30 p.m. The debate was sponsored by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI). The moderator was Professor Ryan Owens.Unlike much of what we see in politics, the debate was cordial and civilized. There was no student protest to prevent Dr. Lott from being able to debate Professor Levinson. Dr. Lott is an eminent scholar on gun control issues. Dr. Levison is...

On Thursday Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist confirmed our reporting from February last year. A new book from Mike Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman admits that a widely misunderstood phone call, on which Willis’ political prosecution rests, was illegally recorded. That means the entire prosecution could crumble with defendants having a new avenue to challenge Democrat lawfare.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Libs of TikTok’s latest repeat offender. Hopkins Public School District in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was featured on LoTT in early 2023 because a “Health Mentor” within the district offered students chest binders and LGBTQ counseling without parental consent. (Go read about it- it’s seriously disturbing!) Another concerned parent from the same district reached out to us regarding an LGBTQ field trip being offered to students at Hopkins West Junior High School. Ms. Sami Peterson, a 7th-grade science teacher and Gender and Sexuality Alliance advisor (whatever that is) sent a flyer to parents offering to...

If you believe tweets from Michael Bloomberg’s The Trace and its employees, I am “one major factor” why the U.S. hasn’t passed stronger gun control laws and thus, they claim, responsible for mass shootings in the United States. These are becoming regular tweets after each mass public shooting. They are upset that I have quoted mass murderers on their decisions to target gun-free zones. Yet, statements such as, “Areas where CCW are outlawed or prohibited may be good areas of attack” are common among mass murderers. That doesn’t make sense to gun control supporters. Immediately after this week’s shooting at...

For the second year in a row, the Centers for Disease Control has been caught ignoring science and letting liberal interest groups set its policies. In 2021, the American Pediatric Academy and the Children’s Hospital Association tracked COVID-19 statistics in children and the data show no relationship between mask mandates and the rate at which children caught the disease. In the face of this evidence – and other data showing that masks harm children’s development, the CDC supported masking students after being pressured by the National Education Association (the nation’s largest teachers’ union). Now comes word that CDC is again...

Twitter has allegedly once again suspended the Libs of TikTok (LOTT) account for posting “hateful conduct.” Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon reported the new suspension on Wednesday from his personal Twitter account. “BREAKING: Twitter has once again hit Libs of TikTok with a 7-day suspension for ‘hateful conduct.’ No specific tweets were flagged. We’ve since fired off another letter to Twitter (attached). They’re on notice that we will sue them if they permanently suspend us,” Dillon tweeted. He added, “In anticipation of an extended legal fight with Twitter (we all know it’s just a matter of time before the permanent...

Liberal firebrand Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Trump-allied Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are set to square off next month in a policy debate at a full-size replica of the United States Senate in Boston. The debate series is the brainchild of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) who is hoping to rekindle the Senate’s tradition of debate and collegiality, which many senators feel has gotten lost in recent years as the use of filibusters has become more common to block debate.

Yes, it doxed her and it deserves legal and economic consequences, but there may be an unexpected benefit to the WaPo’s unprincipled, dangerous conduct. The Washington Post attacked Libs of TikTok (“LOTT”), not because it wants to debate the merits of the leftist-made videos the Twitter account exposes to a wider audience, but because it wants to silence anonytmous woman who runs it. Ironically, in a new form of the Streisand effect, the Washington Post seems to have exposed LOTT’s material to literally hundreds of thousands more people. The current saga of LOTT can be summed up quickly. LOTT locates...

Now, why oh why would Taylor Lorenz go to such great lengths to make an issue of LibsOfTikTok’s faith? One has to wonder if she would have included this little nugget in her hit piece if LOTT had been a Muslim, or an atheist, or even a Catholic. This seems … oddly hateful.

The following tweets are the reasons why the Left, in this case the Washington Post, chose to dox — out — the previously unidentified person who runs the Twitter account called “LibsofTikTok.” The article asserts that the LibsofTikTok account is “fueling the right’s outrage machine.” That’s the way the woman who wrote the article framed the issue, but the rest of humanity considers it a public service. That wasn’t the point of the doxxing, however. After the Left’s “outrage machine” got LibsofTikTok suspended from the social media platform twice, WaPo decided to get to the bottom of the account, which...

As you all know, super-shrew Taylor Lorenz targeted LibsOfTikTok and wrote an entire garbage hit-piece on the woman who runs it. She went so far as to harass her family at their homes. She had to know this wasn’t going to go well because even last night when rumblings about the story coming out were starting to make their way around social media, people were pissed. And she thought this was a cute way to respond. pic.twitter.com/0XtvUoxvxo — Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) April 19, 2022 Cute typo in her meme. Super journalisty. And this morning, now that the story has dropped,...

Political writer Peter Schweizer’s latest book reportedly accuses 20 current and former GOP members of having essentially sold out to China. Released late last month, “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win” has attracted attention thus far mainly for its bombshells about President Joe Biden and his extremely wealthy family. But also contained within the book is a treasure trove of bombshells about elected Republicans, ranging from current Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell to former President George H.W. Bush. Regarding McConnell, Schweizer reportedly writes that the Senate leader and his wife both “enjoy some of the deepest and...

John Lott, founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, argued that the conventional wisdom about guns and gun regulation is incorrect. He said the media does a poor job of analyzing gun-related events, especially mass shootings.

Lott told me on the Adult in the Room podcast that he’d never heard of a dress rehearsal for a graduation– and he’s spoken at more than a few graduations. He offered to give them his talking points by phone, but they insisted that he be there in person because “there would be thousands of people [at the graduation], it’s just really important that everything go smoothly.” They also wanted him to change his rah, rah graduation speech to take on a decidedly more political tone. They asked him to include a discussion of Madison’s Second Amendment and criminal background...

Last Friday, anti-Semitic thugs attacked a Jewish family, yelling “Free Palestine!,” “Die Jew!” “F– you Jew,” and “I’m gonna rape your wife.” Fortunately, an armed driver was able to stand between the attackers and the family. You may not hear about many of these stories, but they occur all the time. And there are dozens of cases in recent years where concealed handgun permit holders have stopped what police say would have been mass public shootings. Those would make gripping stories.But don’t ever expect to see gripping stories like this on entertainment television. For years network television, ABC, CBS, NBC,...

I took note over at PowerlineBlog today of this piece by John Hinderaker of a study published by Dr. John Lott using statistical analysis to examine comparative voting patterns in Georgia and Pennsylvania counties.... But the “30,000 ft view” of Dr. Lott’s conclusions — drawn from comparisons of patterns and behavior from precinct-level reporting of vote totals — is that, as a statistical matter, the EVIDENCE of vote fraud is inescapable. Why have I emphasized “evidence”? I did so because I want to distinguish the use of statistical data as evidence in a courtroom in an election challenge, and the...

Americans have been conned. We are still being conned. This is, in fact, the biggest con-job perpetrated against the masses since WMDs were used as the predicate for permanent Middle East wars. The only reason that con-job was technically bigger is because it fooled more people. This one only seems to be fooling about half of the country. But its effects may end up being even bigger as a corrupt, controlled puppet of the Chinese Communist Party is poised to become the leader of the free world.An academic analysis and report written by a Department of Justice researcher may be...

A new report from Department of Justice adviser John Lott concludes that up to 368,000 “excess votes” tipped election outcomes to favor Joe Biden in critical swing states. Lott, a noted crime and gun researcher, alleged the wide-scale vote fraud plagued the recent presidential election, potentially “account[ing] for Biden’s win in” states such as Georgia and Pennsylvania. “Increased fraud can take many forms: higher rates of filling out absentee ballots for people who hadn’t voted, dead people voting, ineligible people voting, or even payments to legally registered people for their votes. […] The estimates here indicate that there were 70,000...
