Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed two new gun control measures in response to the February 13, 2023, Michigan State University shooting, neither of which would have prevented that shooting from taking place.
The Detroit News reported that one of the bills is universal background check legislation. The other is a gun storage law.

It's Time for a National Conversation About Democrat Racism
Way past time.
The objective of a national conversation would be further exposure of the left’s hypocrisy about all things race-related, rather than to change the minds of those guilty of it.
Thomas responded, in part:
From my standpoint as a black American, as far as I’m concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, [and] caricatured by a committee of the U.S. — U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.
Justice Thomas was correct — and he remains even more so today. Ironically (but oh so predictably), the left’s despicable racist attacks against Thomas continue, too.
...“Hatred of Thomas is due to Democrats’ fear of him,” Gurdon correctly observed, adding:
They divide Americans into victim groups to whom they make their appeal, so it is vital that black people form a bloc, monolithic in its opinions. Thomas, a descendant of slaves, who lived a childhood of poverty in rural Georgia, is therefore regarded as a race traitor for thinking outside his group and coming to well-reasoned conservative conclusions. For this, he is branded an “Uncle Tom.”
And worse.
The Bottom Line
To borrow Justice Thomas’s descriptor, “uppity black” conservatives who have the audacity to refuse to live on the Democrat plantation must be dismissed, ignored, ridiculed, or destroyed for refusing to toe the left-wing line. Why? Because anyone or anything that flies in face of the left-wing narrative is a direct threat to the Democrat Party and its decades of lies. It really is that simple.
Toss in the reality that the depth of Democrat hypocrisy knows no bounds, and there you have it.
Lunch video-----TRUTH about the White Slave Trade - Forgotten History
"The (Muslim) Barbary pirates of North Africa attacked the coastal northern Mediterranean launching attacks against Britain, France, Italy and Sicily.
In their feverish search for slaves a few pirates even went as far as the coast of Iceland, raiding inland to kidnap people and bring them back to North Africa.
From the 1500s to the 1800s it is estimated that one million white Europeans, to include those captured at sea as well as through land raids abroad were enslaved. Many of these were Americans captured at sea.

Duncan Event At BYU Law School Is ‘Canceled.’
"...Believe it or not, BYU law school administrators—yes, Brigham Young University—canceled a Federalist Society event last fall in which Rick Duncan was to discuss the Supreme Court’s abortion decision in Dobbs with his friend BYU law professor Fred Gedicks. Duncan was expected to offer an approving view of Dobbs, while the liberal Gedicks was expected to be more critical. …
BYU’s administrators objected to Duncan’s participation in the event because of a talk he gave in 2021 on the topic “True Diversity Means Inclusion, Not Exclusion.” In that talk, Duncan had cited transgender pronoun ideology—the insistence that everyone state one’s “preferred pronouns”—as an example of coerced speech...

Death to the Suburbs! - American Thinker - By Rael Jean Isaac"The indomitable Betsy McCaughey has called out the latest ugly manifestation of "diversity, inclusion, and equity" the drive to destroy the suburbs.
The Biden administration and Democrat-controlled legislatures in several states have taken the lead in this effort.
In New York State, Governor Kathy Hochul, as part of the state budget, has advanced a so-called Housing Compact that would eliminate local control and single family zoning.
- Hochul's plan would require that high-rise "affordable" (read: low-income, taxpayer-subsidized) housing be constructed close to each sleepy village train station — mostly a few miles apart — on Metro North and the Long Island Railroad.
- If the affected communities fail to do so "voluntarily," the state will have the power to override local zoning.
- Those who fail to applaud this combined coup by warriors for social justice and real estate interests are, you guessed it, racist...

Elon Musk leaves BBC reporter stunned after he turns the tables, puts reporter on hot seat in wild interview: 'You just lied!' - TheBlaze:
Elon Musk has gone viral after he sat down for an interview with BBC reporter James Clayton and pressed Clayton on a couple of controversial topics. Musk was so direct and unrelenting in his responses that Clayton later admitted, "Several times it felt like he was trying to interview me."
On Tuesday evening, Musk and Clayton sat down for an in-person conversation, which Clayton claims had been spontaneously arranged earlier that day. The two touched on various topics, including the massive layoffs that have occurred at Twitter since Musk took over last year as well the "government-funded" media label that was recently added to the BBC's Twitter account.

PolitiFact dragged for begrudgingly admitting DeSantis was right about Bragg: 'We regret to inform you' | Fox News:
The fact-check, which was published on Saturday, faced public scrutiny after the organization’s Twitter account promoted the story on Tuesday. While the tweet acknowledged that DeSantis’ claim that over 50% of felonies were downgraded to misdemeanors under Bragg was accurate, it added that the practice was "common."
"Yes, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded felonies as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said, but it’s a common practice among peer counties," the account tweeted.

White House logs reveal George Soros' son has made at least 14 visits - TheBlaze:
George Soros has proven himself instrumental in funding leftist causes over the years, but at the age of 92, the open society he has sought after needs a new champion. The billionaire's 37-year-old son, Alexander Soros, appears keen to carry on his father's legacy of propping up radicals and technocrats alike.
Recently updated White House visitor logs have revealed that Alexander Soros has the ear of prominent officials and staffers inside the Biden administration, having visited the White House at least 14 times since President Joe Biden took office.
Soros the younger chairs his father's Open Society Foundation and sits on the board of the European Council on Foreign Relations.
