Will Richard Gere Load His Jet with Illegal Immigrants? [Right Angle: Lightning Round XXIII]

Make America Meek Again: Sen. Warren’s Disarming New Plan to Cut Gun Deaths

Greater federal government power is Elizabeth Warren’s disarming new plan to cut gun deaths. Higher taxes on guns and ammo, federal licensing with training courses, a national gun owner database, expanded background checks, renewed ban on assault-style weapons…and the Democrat presidential candidate is just getting started. Is this a serious legislative proposal to save lives, or a disingenuous bit of stagecraft designed to make America meek again (MAMA).

Born to Die: Does Capitalism Contain the Seeds of Its Own Demise?

Is it born to die? If Capitalism in America eventually leads to the workers rising with pitchforks to demand a division of the spoils, are we doing it wrong, or is that just the natural outcome of a system that focuses only on equality of opportunity? The rise of Democratic Socialists (and their less-Democratic brethren) during the 2020 presidential cycle may signal an economic shift that seems to contain the seeds of the demise of a system which has created more food, health, leisure, and happiness than anything the Earth has seen.

As a public service, Bill Whittle shows a graphic simulation of what might happen if conspiracy theorists who want to “see them aliens” actually storm Area 51 in September as scheduled. The U.S. military is not a force to be trifled with, and under several potential scenarios, it ends badly for the Naruto runners approaching the military base.

Democratic Socialists of America Gather to Trigger and Shut Each Other Up

Is it laughable, or tragic, to listen in on a meeting of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)? You be the judge. The litany of sensitivity rules — from prohibitions on heavy scents to avoidance of gender-specific pronouns — is designed to not trigger anyone as they usher in the new Utopia…if anyone can stand it. Above all, the rules are designed to shut each other up.
