Chiu With the Centers for Disease Control belatedly coming to the conclusion that fully vaccinated people can ditch their masks (something that’s been obvious to the rest of us for months now), it’s become clear that the only “science” the agency’s been following for months is political science. The mishandling of the agency’s guidance, and the willingness of businesses, blue state politicians, and bureaucrats to continue to adhere to it even when it was clearly overcautious to the point of paranoia is all the reason we need to keep the CDC far away from the gun control debate.
The CDC was prevented from engaging in politically-motivated research into gun control from the mid-1990s until 2018 , when money started flowing to the agency for research into firearms once again. In 2020, $25-million was allocated to the CDC and the National Institutes of Health to look into ways to reduce “gun-related deaths and injuries”, and the agency has merrily been dispersing grant money in the months since.
Soon we’ll be able to learn about the “synergistic impacts of firearm access and opioid-related harm on firearm suicide risk at the individual and population levels in the state of California”, the “context, antecedents, and consequences of handgun carrying among adolescents who reside in rural communities in order to inform culturally appropriate and community-specific interventions,” and other fun topics that can all easily be turned into calls to restrict the Second Amendment rights of all in the name of protecting some specific portion of the population.

After yesterday’s reversal by the CDC, some questioned why their “conservative” refusal to follow science on vaccinations mattered. Tim Walz gave the answer to that question today, announcing the […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
