When a movie on Rotten Tomatoes has a high audience approval rating and a low critical rating, it usually means that conservatives will like it. It’s usually a movie for the people and not for the “elites.”Such is the case with Muzzle, a film that was released in September and is now out on DVD. Muzzle is is a good solid piece of movie-making created by that rarest of breeds: Hollywood people who don’t hate normal Americans. The film is rated 16+. Criminals are depicted as awful people, drugs as soul-killers, and moms and newborn babies as healing miracles. There...

The court’s decision represents a victory against authoritarianism, but censorship by Covid scaremongers should still trouble Americans. ... Afederal judge halted California’s attempt to censor doctors when, last Wednesday, the court enjoined the state statute that banned medical professionals from spreading purported “misinformation” or “disinformation” to their patients about Covid-19. The decision represents the latest victory against the authoritarian edicts that quickly followed the outbreak of the pandemic three years ago but continue to this day. In August of 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 2098 (AB 2098), adding a new provision to California’s extensive regulations...

The science is becoming clearer on mask-wearing as COVID becomes an endemic problem. It doesn't work. Everyone is going to get infected eventually. COVID is now part of our lives…forever. Have no fear; we do the same with cold and flu season. We have therapeutics. We have vaccines. It's time to move on with our lives. The masks requirements just need to die. Infections are all over the place. They have not curbed the spread. This is classic "horse has left the barn" territory. And now, this protocol applied to school districts needs to die as well. Even ardent feminists...

A year into the pandemic, a lot has changed. And we're reminded of that every time we go outside (if we go outside). Masks have joined the traditional don't-leave-home-without-them trifecta of keys, wallets and phones - and they are here to stay. There are folks who hate them, who can't breathe through them, or who think they're a sign of political oppression. But for others, the widespread use of masks has made the past year one of liberation. With a mask, you can sing in the grocery store, talk to yourself on a walk, grimace in the gym, leave the...

Masks do not work. You just think they do. Like the dumbest of sheep, a multitude of Americans walk around like zombies in blind obedience to an evil cabal intent on stripping all liberty from the citizens of the United States. The ghouls behind this PLANNED-demic are sitting around their corporate board rooms chuckling at how easy it was to gain total control over a mind-numbed citizenry. This entire lock-down has never been about a virus, my friends. It has been about conditioning the American people to blindly obey the edicts of a totally out of control government. All they...

Very interesting series of photos from the security camera make for a choppy video.   What is clear is that the robber has virtually no tactical sense, no backup, little situational awareness, and focuses on the money. If anyone there had a firearm and felt threatened, this guy would have been done.   Notice that in the last two or three images, he has his hand off the pistol grip, muzzle pointed away from anyone, and eyes focused on the money.  The video is grainy enough that I cannot be sure if what he is holding is a real AR-15 type...

Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders, set to become a shadow partner of the next coalition government, goes on trial in Amsterdam on Monday for inciting hatred against Muslims. The controversial politician with his signature shock of blonde-dyed hair risks up to a year in jail or a €7,600 fine, according to prosecutors, for calling Islam "fascist" and likening the Quran to Hitler's Mein Kampf. "This is about freedom of speech," Wilders' lawyer Bram Moszkowicz told AFP. "My client believes that in the Netherlands, one must be able to say whatever one wants, barring incitement to violence." Wilders, 47, will stand...

Michael Savage is banned from the UK. That is not important, the reason why is compelling ... "I think it's important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it's a privilege to come and the sort of things that mean you won't be welcome in this country," Ms Smith told GMTV. "Coming to this country is a privilege. If you can't live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what's more, now...

GOP candidates, convention steer clear of immigration BY REID J. EPSTEIN reid.epstein@newsday.com September 8, 2008 During the Republican presidential primary, immigration was such an important topic that candidates were tripping over each other to be seen as the toughest defender of the nation's borders. The issue became so hot that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the GOP presidential nominee, was forced to disavow his own immigration reform bill because it was seen by many Republicans as too lenient. But a parade of Republicans came to the convention podium in St. Paul last week with barely a mention of immigration. On Wednesday...

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Less than two weeks after Democrats took control of both houses of Congress, Accuracy in Media has exposed a plan by congressional liberals to use the federal government to silence conservative voices in the media. Reporting from a so-called National Conference on Media Reform, organized by "progressive" activists, AIM editor Cliff Kincaid has revealed, in an exclusive report now available on the AIM web site (http://www.aim.org), that liberals in the House and Senate intend to push legislation giving the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the authority to monitor and restrict what conservatives in the media say...

Lefty hearts are fluttering over Bill Clinton's finger-wagging, fist-face tantrum on Fox television. Party boss Howard Dean, a noted rage-aholic, sees Clinton's fury as a model for "what Democrats need to do in this election." Dean's approval is one way to know you're in trouble with moderate voters. Another way is to calculate who wins and loses with Clinton's outburst. My scorecard says Fox wins with top ratings and Bubba wins 'cause he loves getting headlines. Hillary loses. Big time. So big, in fact, that I think she ought to finally kick the bum out. Out of her campaign, that...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is proposing new limits on campaign contributions to restrict the activities of so-called 527 groups. The 527s raised and spent more than $400 million in the 2004 U.S. elections. The proposed limits, including a $25,000 cap on donations, add on to those championed by McCain and Wisconsin Democrat Sen. Russ Feingold in their 2002 campaign financing law. That law did not, however, restrict the 527s from collecting large sums of money from individual contributors. The backers of the new restrictions said they were determined to stop such spending before the...

07.12.04 | The Government is clearly on a full frontal attack against the media. Only today we heard: -The Minister of Information said that the Cabinet “evaluated” the promotion of destabilization by the media, citing his former employer RCTV and local newspaper El Nacional as promoters of destabilization who are “minimizing” the case making it look like the Government is violating human rights. Well, asked Antonio Lopez, or his parents what they think about this. Or the Guevara brothers. Or the last person who made a phone call to Antonio Lopez. It appears the right to silence people for political...

John Kerry woke up last Tuesday morning confused and agitated. As he realized, his propensity towards prevarication and exaggeration are now well known by voters. In politics, that stuff usually works with a significant segment of the population simply because they are uninformed. Didn't work as well this time, though. Voters are starting to laugh at Kerry. Or even worse, voters are starting to disregard Kerry. Quite often, campaign staff, reporters and Republican hecklers make up a significant part of the crowd at his lightly attended campaign appearances. Clearly, the Kerry campaign is having a few little problems. One problem...

ATLANTA (GoodNewsAmerica.us) August 21, 2004 - The Swift Boat Veterans For Truth have come under attack from the John Kerry after releasing two ads and a book questioning his service of in Vietnam. The attack involves the Kerry Campaign threatening television stations for running the ads, calling on the books’ publisher to withdraw the book, and asking the FEC to ban the airing the ads. On August 5 DNC and Kerry lawyers sent a memo to television station managers in an attempt to muzzle the Swift Boat Vet's ads. The memo stated that the stations would be held responsible for...

On The EdgeWith the New FN P90 5.7x28mm by Al Paulson Military organizations have struggled for generations with two frequently overlapping problems: (1) how to arm troops whose primary mission is something other than the use of small arms; and (2) how to arm troops who need compact firepower for conducting special operations. A remarkable array of pistols, submachind guns and carbines have been fielded over the years in an, attempt to give people such as vehicle drivers, operators of crew-served weapons, support personnel and special operators a weapon with the optimum mix of compact size, hit probability, sustained...
