The 20 Dumbest Hollywood Hatemongers
By Mark Tapson with David Horowitz
As composer Oscar Levant once quipped in regard to Hollywood’s
moral spinelessness: "Beneath the Tinsel of Tinseltown is ... tinsel."
For all their glamorous parading on red carpets, and their self-righteous posturing
about social justice, Tinseltown is teeming with permanently damaged children
and spoiled brats. Recently, audiences on both the Right and the Left have been
turned off by Hollywood's hypocrisy, condescension, and "woke"
derangements. Studio executives now have to look to China for profits, having
been forced to rely less on the domestic box office. The streaming giant
Netflix is hemorrhaging subscribers. Hollywood awards shows, which stars have
turned into personal soapboxes for political dementia, are plunging to record
lows in viewership year after year. [more...] Read Part I, the first five on the list, HERE, and Part

More Expansive Government Won’t End Gun Violence
By Judd Dunning
Gun control will not stop the next Payton Gendron or Salvador
Ramos. Every rational person knows this. Meanwhile, Americans have much to
lament. We have a complex social problem - not solvable by more
government. Mental illness and evil caused pain. Feeling pain keeps us
human. May we never forego feeling our loss profoundly. If we, as a
civil society, do, all is lost. Our American guns are an insurance
policy, a sometimes excellent protective and occasionally tragic but necessary
insurance policy, that must never be removed. One look at the pandemic shows us
how quickly our government can drastically control our lives. [more...]
Dems Ignore Root Causes of Gun
Crime on Purpose
Addressing the roots of gun violence takes courage, politically
speaking, that is, because addressing the roots of gun violence means talking
about moral standards and behavioral expectations. It means pointing out the
sins of a nation - of people that have led to the acceptance of fatherless
homes; to the acceptance of divorce and broken families; to the acceptance of a
radical LGBTQ agenda that degrades the family unit even further. Talking about
the roots of gun violence means looking at the drugs today’s youth abuse, both
prescribed and not prescribed, and tracing the sources of those drugs... and
finding, at the end, government’s own guilty hands. [more...] Get Cheryl's New Bestselling

Recent Shootings Call Us to Spiritual and Moral
Revival
Everybody knows that it’s not guns that commit murders of
innocents, but rather estranged and deranged people who wield the firearms and
pull the triggers. Even if it were possible to eliminate guns, mal-adjusted and
hate-filled people will still find other ways of wreaking havoc and destruction
on others. The heart of today’s problem is less the physical threat posed by
guns and more the spiritual and societal breakdown that drives much of today’s
violence and malevolent behavior; and this is not limited to gun violence.
Deranged, anti-social behavior was on display across the country only two years
ago in May and June of 2020 when BLM and Antifa unleashed their brand of “peaceful
protests” - lawless, and violent - destroying property and peoples’
livelihoods, stealing and looting, setting police stations and churches on fire
and toppling historic statues and monuments. The property destruction toll then
was more than $2 billion - greater in that window of about 4 or 5 weeks in 2020
than in any other periods of unrest in prior U.S. history. [more...] Watch Scott on OANN.
The Baby Formula Problem
By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America
The FDA’s generic drug reauthorization deal for
next year might be held hostage by senators who want to find the underlying
cause of the ongoing infant formula shortage. The House and Senate health care
committees are still debating the user-fee reauthorization and funding for the FDA
generic drug programs expire in September. But passing those items may now be
put on hold. Shockingly, the FDA’s solution to the problem was always
more imports rather than increasing production at home, or getting government
contracts, through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children, a/k/a WIC, to diversify its supply source. WIC is a huge
buyer of infant formula and, based on what was heard at the Senate hearing, a
majority buyer of infant formula in the market. [more...]
Mass Shootings and the Problem of Evil
What do people who don’t believe in evil do? They blame
inanimate objects. Guns. 19 years ago, a middle-aged unemployed taxi driver
carrying two milk cartons full of gasoline walked onto a South Korean subway
and started a fire that killed 192 people. That was not a milk carton problem.
Nor was it a gasoline problem. 6 years ago, a Muslim terrorist drove a truck
into a Bastille Day event in Nice, France killing 86 and wounding over 400
other people. Body parts were being pried out of his wheel wells. That was not
a truck problem. Across the long stretch of human history, millions of people
were killed long before the invention of firearms, in often cruder and far more
brutal ways. [more...]
Democrats' Focus On 'Gun Control' Won't Solve Any of Our Problems
Another horrible tragedy occurred on Tuesday with the attack on
the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. With 19 elementary school students
slain, Biden was right when he said Tuesday night that Americans have had
enough. Unfortunately, his proposals won't solve the problem. Just as with so
many of these attackers, the man who attacked Robb Elementary School picked a
place where people were banned from carrying concealed
handguns. For example, the perpetrator of the Buffalo shooting from a
couple of weeks ago wrote in his manifesto: "Areas
where" carrying with a concealed weapon "are outlawed or prohibited may
be good areas of attack." [more...]
