New Rules Wuhan Flu 99 Comments

How bad does an idea have to be before even the police decide they’re not going to be enforcing it? Matt Gurney has started a list of Ontario police departments that won’t be going along with Ford’s Covid crackdown. As of this morning six have said no.

Here’s the thread.

The Power Of No

Cancelled Freespeechers Military New Rules 19 Comments

This is not 30, 20, 10 or even five years ago.

Over the last two decades, normal Americans have found themselves attacked by every institution they had expected to protect them – academia, the media, the NFL…
 
Even law enforcement betrayed them, in the form of kneeling cops & the FBI/DOJ cabal that tried to take down the man they elected President.
 
So normals were not naive and vulnerable – they were prepared to be betrayed when the woke .mil leadership abandoned its principles.

Tough on Guns, Soft on Crime- A Liberal Combo Pack

New Rules Shiny Pony You Might Be A Liberal 38 Comments

What a difference a couple of days makes.

If you want to know Trudeau’s real thoughts of dealing with gun crime, look at what his government is doing in Bill C-22.

What are they doing?

Mandatory minimum sentences are being removed for a long list of offences.

How?

The government put these changes into a bill they described as dealing with systemic racism in Canada’s justice system and making sure that people who make simple mistakes don’t pay for them for the rest of their lives.

Why?

“These are people with health problems. These are single mothers. These are young people who perhaps have made a couple of mistakes,” Justice Minister David Lametti said while introducing his bill.

“It sounds nice and it pulls on the heartstrings, but it’s also a load of BS.

The Horse and Buggy Media

Insufferable Twits Media New Rules 39 Comments

Gee, isn’t that a shame…

THIS MONTH we learned that Tesla, a $400 billion public company run by one of the richest people in the world, has done away with its media relations department—effectively formalizing an informal policy of ignoring reporters. Though we should all be grateful for the chance to hear less about Tesla, we should also recognize this for what it is: one more glaring data point showing that powerful people no longer think they need the mainstream press, especially critical and ethical outlets like the Washington Post. 

There’s more

Because journalism, particularly at the highest level, is about raw power. It is about bringing important people to heel, on behalf of the public. 

And

 All I know is that there is only one way the press maintains its power in society: by metaphorically putting the heads of powerful people on pikes. 

But it’s not working anymore and they know it.

 That state of affairs, which has been taken for granted for decades, is evaporating. 

They see themselves as “important” bullies and victims all at the same time. Read the whole thing.

Showing Up To Riot

Media New Rules 23 Comments

Examiner;

Claiming “enough is enough,” Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. is taking legal action against several media outlets for “fake news” reports that he irresponsibly reopened the school amid the coronavirus outbreak, sickening students.
 
In aggressive actions, the school pushed for and won two arrest warrants against a New York Times freelance photographer and a ProPublica reporter and threatened to sue the New York Times if it doesn’t retract its March 29 story that the school brought students back after spring break, “then students started getting sick.”
 
Falwell ripped the reports as “fake news” and told Secrets, “The bottom line is that we have no students with COVID-19, no symptoms. And it’s so sad that they want to try to turn this into something political.”
