Who Inflicts the Most Gun Violence in America?

by
“It is often the case that police shootings, incidents where law enforcement officers pull the trigger on civilians, are left out of the conversation on gun violence. But a police officer shooting a civilian counts as gun violence. Every time an officer uses a gun against an innocent or an unarmed person contributes to the culture of gun violence in this country.”—Journalist Celisa Calacal Yes, gun violence is a problem in America, although violent crime generally remains at an all-time low. Yes, mass shootings are a problem in America, although while they are getting deadlier, they are not getting more frequent. Yes, mentally ill individuals embarking on mass shooting sprees are a problem in America. However, tighter gun control laws and so-called “intelligent” background checks fail to protect the public from the most egregious perpetrator of gun violence in America: the U.S. government.

680 Down, 10 Million to Go

by
No doubt trying to break President Obama’s record for deporting illegal immigrants, President Trump had his immigration gendarmes conduct secretive immigration raids at workplaces in Mississippi, which succeeded in rounding up and arresting 680 suspected illegal immigrant workers. That means that Trump’s people have to arrest only 10 million more in order to achieve his dream of an illegal-immigrant-free society. Ironically, Trump’s raids took place soon after the massacre in El Paso, which was designed to prevent the “invasion” of the United States by Hispanic immigrants, an “invasion” that Trump himself has long decried as consisting of murderers, rapists, and stealers of American jobs. Leftists and the mainstream press are decrying the raids and pointing to the suffering that the raids are inflicting on immigrant families, including the many children that were left parentless after the raids. Their laments, however, are hard to take seriously for two reasons: First, they didn’t cry ...

Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric and the El Paso Killings

by
Leftists are tripping over themselves in their attempt to blame President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric for one of the nation’s latest killing sprees, the one in El Paso, where the killer posted an online screed complaining about the “invasion” of illegal immigrants. Of course, the left is having a more difficult time trying to tie Trump’s rhetoric to the simultaneous killing spree in Dayton, given that the killer claimed to be a leftist socialist who, in some bizarre and unexplainable way, convinced himself that he was advancing socialism by engaging in the random killing of people in Dayton. Longtime readers of my blog posts are familiar with my thesis: That when a government engages in a 30-year-long, continuous, ongoing, never-ending killing spree of people overseas, one that places no value on the lives of foreigners, my thesis is that that is inevitably going to trigger bizarre, dysfunctional behavior here at home within people, especially ones who are off-kilter mentally, behavior that ...
