There’s a weird cult of personality on the Left centered around Dr. Anthony Fauci that’s oddly akin to the one they created around the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. You can find a Fauci pillow for your futon, a Fauci action figure or bobblehead, and some eye-rolling t-shirt designs that turn the CDC’s infectious disease expert into a secular saint. Fauci’s recommendations that even fully vaccinated Americans keep socially distancing and wearing masks have seen plenty of backlash, but many on the Left keep swallowing his every word, eager for more.

Amidst a push by the Left to pack the Supreme Court full of anti-gun justices appointed by President Joe Biden and a number of high-profile shootings around the country, SCOTUS once again sidestepped an important case dealing with the right to carry on Monday morning, while also rejecting two cases involving non-violent felons who were hoping to have their rights restored.
The Court has been considering whether or not to grant cert in
New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett for several weeks now, and a good chunk of the Second Amendment community has become increasingly skeptical that the Court will accept any case dealing with the right to keep and bear arms, even with the addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the bench.
The signer took to Instagram, aiming to “wake up America” to the need to stem gun violence.
A video shows her putting up signs with the hashtags “#WAKEUPAMERICA” and “#GUNCONTROLNOW,” with unidentified people. It’s unclear where the singer is. Throughout most of the video, she wears a bright blue ski mask that covers her face.
Toward the end of the video, the star turns to the camera and gives an impassioned speech about gun control, likening it to a life-saving vaccine.
“Have you heard of this new vaccination for America? It’s going to keep us all alive, it’s going to keep us all safe,” she says. “It’s called gun control, OK? It’s called gun safety, alright? New vaccination. It should be mandatory for all citizens.”
The Gun Violence Archive is a non-profit organization that runs a website that reportedly tracks gun violence in this country. However, there’s a problem.
See, the issue is the term “mass shooting.”
When most people hear the term, they’re thinking of something like Las Vegas, Parkland, or Columbine. They’re thinking of people dead, blood everywhere, and people sitting around trying to figure out why some random person decided to shoot up a given place.
Yet when Gun Violence Archive uses the term, they’re applying it to anywhere four or more people are
shot, even if no one dies. This includes many regular criminal shootings, such as gang activity, and really isn’t anything close to what people think of.
