THE THESIS: The Party paid to get Covid deaths, Covid “cases” and Covid Panic Porn. They are also paying to keep the mRNA injuries and deaths wrapped up in the Propaganda of Silence(™).  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  It's my belief that living in spiritual blindness will eventually lead to complete blindness to truth. After all, God is truth.  Deuteronomy 28:28-29 The Lord will smite you with madness and with blindness and with bewilderment of heart; and you will grope at noon, as the blind man gropes in darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways; but you shall only be oppressed and robbed continually, with none to save you. Romans 1:20-22 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, More on the consequences of Spiritual Blindness THE NEWS & COMMENT: First, the good news about free speech. This is fantastic!  Twitter and Facebook and YouTube lose; the First Amendment wins; A federal appellate court just blew up the absurd argument that the world's largest carriers of speech and journalism can censor views they don't like. Next stop, the Supreme Court . . .. it's also a starting point. WIth the exception of Gab and Truth Social, the social media companies are extensions of The Party.  I call for investigations of all collusion between government and media.  Yes, the Mockingbird Media is biased. That's sort of old news [AUDIO] - In March 2021, the mayor of Gila Bend, AZ – population under 2K – pleaded for help as Biden bussed illegal immigrants to the city without coordination. There was no outrage from Democrats. If you aren't a rich, liberal community, they just don't care. - from the Republican National Committee  But, this is not simply bias we are watching and it's not stupidity (at least not from the top). What we are witnessing ts a controlled-media environment.  [AUDIO] - CNN's Don Lemon tells royal commentator Hilary Fordwich the royal family should pay reparations — immediately regrets it Finally, I am not alone is stating it that way . . .  [AUDIO] -  Former ITV and Sky News boss Mark Sharman at a press conference (February 2022) on the CV scam. He is addressing injuries and deaths from the mRNA clot-shots which the Mockingbirds all ignore Teen Suffers Heart Attack After Cross Country Race, Baffled Doctors Find 2 Blood Clots and Blocked Artery Even as they begin to tell some truths about the so-called boosters as did NBC 10 in Philadelphia -- thank you!  [AUDIO] -  Dr. Paul Offit, one of the world's most respected vaccine experts, is now officially an anti-vaxxer! Welcome to the club, Paul. Now, people are beginning to talk openly about the Covid death $500,000 bounty The Party placed on hospitals.  URGENT: Daniel Horowitz shared this from Dr. Lxx Fxx as to usual practice in hospitals when our parent, grand-parent, you, anyone, based on hospital COVID Protocol to collect the $500,000 per patient $500,000 per COVIDized patient & thus the COVID Protocol to ensure they collected for each patient; this is why I have called for CEOs, Fauci, Birx, Bancel, Bourla, Francis Collins, all, to be JAILED! . . . but, Mark Sharman, former ITV/BBC Sky boss could just as easily be addressing the dangerously corrupt color revolution agitators at the FBI John Durham's final act: exposing the FBI Major Garrett is deeply concerned about erosion of what he chooses to call a democracy, so deeply concerned that he abides by the blockade of information on why people believe election fraud is rampant.   [AUDIO] - .@MajorCBS warns of a dark political outlook “if we enter a phase of American life where either political party refuses to accept a fair and verified election simply because it lost, then we will dismantle democracy bit by bit before our very eyes.” . . . if the Mockingbird Media continues to suppress the valid reasons for concern or, worse, to wrap them up as the elites saving us from ourselves, like Time Magazine did in their infamous piece on how The Party “fortified” the election of 2020, that will mean people will reasonably conclude the media is in on the theft.  How is it that Zach Abraham and others like him tell more truth about how The Party conjures money and rewards itself with illegal infusions of conjured financial digits, than the entire Mockingbird Media class.  [AUDIO] - “People are shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better and faster?” BIDEN: “Inflation rate month-to-month was up just an inch, hardly at all.” . . . again, just like the black holes of trust in our election system, many people see what's happening and, as a consequence, they know what the Mockingbirds are hiding.  [AUDIO] -  With Housing Bubble 2.0 starting to crater and the Fed poised to trigger a new Great Financial Crisis, this Irishman's epic rant from 2008 is more timely and relevant than ever. Alex Hilton on Twitter: My mum got this @BritishGas. This is insane. It's not stupidity and here's more proof. The Mockingbird Media can report the truth--they haven't forgotten how to do that--and, when they do so, it's illuminating . . .. . . but, all too often it is tied to another agenda,  like this: See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The use of face masks in classrooms made “no significant difference” in COVID-19 infection rates, according to a new study. A cohort of researchers from several universities and hospitals in Spain came to the conclusion by analyzing COVID-19 transmission rates, age, and the mandated use of face masks in classrooms across the region of Catalonia. The study – “Unravelling the Role of the Mandatory use of Face Covering Masks for the Control of SARS-CoV-2 in Schools: a Quasi-Experimental Study Nested in a Population-Based Cohort in Catalonia (Spain)” – compiled data from 1,907 schools with a total of 599,314 pupils during the first term of the 2021 academic year. It was included in August’s edition of the peer-reviewed journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, which is a part of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Group. Though COVID-19 variants such as Omicron occurred outside of the timeframe of the study, researchers maintain it is “unlikely that the effectiveness of the mask mandate measure will increase with a more transmissible variant.” “We analysed routinely collected health data to compare the incidence of SARS-CoV-2, secondary attack rates and the effective reproductive number among school children, comparing those without mandatory face covering masks (FCM) and those with FCM during the first term of the school year 2021–2022, to assess the effect of FCM mandates on SARS-CoV-2 transmission within schools,” explains a summary of the work. Researchers focused on comparing children in the last year of preschool (P5) and the first year of primary education, as the younger group had no face mask mandate, whereas the older group did. “The main findings of the study show no significant differences for children in the last grade of preschool (P5) and the first year of primary education in COVID-19 transmission indicators during the study period, despite their difference in FCM mandate and the strong age dependency of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in schools,” explained researchers. “In conclusion, FCM mandates in schools showed no significant differences in terms of transmission. Conversely, we found that age is a key component explaining transmission in children,” summarized researchers. The Spanish case study follows additional studies demonstrating the failed efficacy of face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19, even exacerbating the spread of the virus in certain demographics. https://www.theepochtimes.com/study-americans-own-more-than-415-million-firearms_4737834.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Study: Americans Own More Than 415 Million Firearms Americans now own more than 415 million firearms, according to Georgetown professor William English. This was a key finding of the National Firearms Survey that was conducted last year by Denver-based research firm Centiment at the request of English, a professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. English is a political economist interested in ethics, education, and public policy. The survey, which is part of a larger book project, is reportedly the largest ever undertaken regarding U.S. gun owners. The survey was administered to about 54,000 U.S. residents aged 18 and older, focusing on 16,708 gun owners who were provided with in-depth questions about their ownership and use of firearms, including defensive uses. The purpose of the survey was to “shed some light from a social-scientific view on the reality of how guns are used and owned in America today,” English said during a Sept. 11 podcast produced by The Reload, a publication focused on the policies and politics surrounding firearms. “And the attempt was to make it the largest survey of gun owners yet done, particularly so that we can get statistically informative information in all 50 states. Probably the last survey of this scope was done back in 1994 … but it’s now more than a quarter century old,” he said. English teased the findings of the survey in a May 18 summary on an academic website called Social Science Research Network but updated the summary on Sept. 13 to add the 415 million figure for gun ownership. Because the U.S. Census Bureau now estimates the U.S. population to be 333 million people, the 415 million figure means that there are now about 1.25 firearms for every person living in the United States. Of those 415 million firearms, Americans own about 171 million handguns, 146 million rifles, and 98 million shotguns, according to the update. About 39 million individuals, or 48 percent of gun owners, have owned magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Some jurisdictions regulate magazine capacity. The newly released information helps to put facts that English previously released from the study into a broader context. The study found that the United States has an overall rate of adult firearm ownership of 31.9 percent, which suggests that more than 81.4 million Americans aged 18 years and older own firearms. The average gun owner owns about five firearms, and handguns are the most common type of firearm owned, the summary states. Among gun owners, 57.8 percent are male and 42.2 percent are female. About 34.3 percent of whites own firearms, compared to 28.3 percent of Hispanics, 25.4 percent of blacks, and 19.4 percent of Asians, according to the summary. Nearly a third of gun owners, or 31.1 percent, reported in the survey that they have used a gun to defend themselves or their property, often more than once. The report summary estimated that firearms are used defensively by their owners in about 1.67 million incidents each year. Handguns are used in 65.9 percent of defensive incidents, although in most such incidents no shot was fired. About a quarter (25.2 percent) of defensive incidents took place inside the gun owner’s home, and a little more than half (53.9 percent) happened outside their home but on their property. Almost one in 10 (9.1 percent) of defensive gun uses took place in public and about one out of 30 (3.2 percent) took place at work, according to the summary. The report comes after a landmark Supreme Court ruling on June 23 finding for the first time that there’s a constitutional right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. The court also found that gun regulations must be deeply rooted in U.S. history if they’re to survive constitutional scrutiny, prompting a raft of new lawsuits across the country challenging gun control measures. Applications for gun permits in states that require them have been rising following the court decision. President Joe Biden is pushing for a federal ban on so-called assault weapons after Congress approved new gun control measures in June, including financial incentives to encourage the enactment of state-level red-flag gun confiscation laws. The research paper also comes as major credit card companies, at the behest of gun control activists, are implementing what critics characterize as backdoor gun control. The International Organization for Standardization recently announced that one of its subcommittees had decided to create a new merchant category code for firearms, which were previously under the general merchandise category. Critics say the policy change will make it easier for governments both to track and discourage firearms purchases and could lay the groundwork for a national gun registry.

That is not a typo. Rather than devoting federal resources to improving our national infrastructure, Biden is wasting millions to address the problem of “racist roads.” What makes a road racist? I’m just the messenger here, but according to MSNBC, so-called “racist roads” being targeted by Biden were “designed to facilitate white flight and deprive black communities of housing and commercial opportunities.” Fellow white dude Pete Buttigieg, who occasionally makes appearances pretending to be the Transportation Secretary, confirmed that $104.6 million in federal funds from last year’s bipartisan infrastructure bill will be used to dismantle Interstate 375 in Detroit. “This stretch of I-375 cuts like a gash through the neighborhood, one of many examples I have seen in communities across the country where a piece of infrastructure has become a barrier,” Buttigieg told the Associated Press. “With these funds, we’re now partnering with the state and the community to transform it into a road that will connect rather than divide.” https://www.foxnews.com/media/don-lemon-roasted-royal-expert-answer-britain-paying-reparations-ready And now this!

But, then again, mix passionate fandom with eleventy bottles of beer, and ill-advised decisions will ensue. Such was the case at the Texas-UTSA game on Saturday when a fan attempted to jump into the pit with the University of Texas’s mascot, Bevo. The mascot’s handlers tried to wave the fan off but to no avail. Thankfully, a Texas DPS officer intervened and prevented the fan from getting himself killed. It’s unclear what the fan’s intentions were, but it’s pretty clear what Bevo’s intentions would have been if he had felt the slightest bit threatened. The last time Bevo felt an unwelcome presence, it nearly cost “UGA,” the Georgia Bulldog mascot, his life. https://twitter.com/i/status/1546151851346874370 - Play Video Now don’t worry folks, Georgia’s mascot, UGA the bulldog was just fine, and you can find the link to these videos in the show notes.

The use of face masks in classrooms made “no significant difference” in COVID-19 infection rates, according to a new study. A cohort of researchers from several universities and hospitals in Spain came to the conclusion by analyzing COVID-19 transmission rates, age, and the mandated use of face masks in classrooms across the region of Catalonia. The study – “Unravelling the Role of the Mandatory use of Face Covering Masks for the Control of SARS-CoV-2 in Schools: a Quasi-Experimental Study Nested in a Population-Based Cohort in Catalonia (Spain)” – compiled data from 1,907 schools with a total of 599,314 pupils during the first term of the 2021 academic year. It was included in August’s edition of the peer-reviewed journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, which is a part of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Group. Though COVID-19 variants such as Omicron occurred outside of the timeframe of the study, researchers maintain it is “unlikely that the effectiveness of the mask mandate measure will increase with a more transmissible variant.” “We analysed routinely collected health data to compare the incidence of SARS-CoV-2, secondary attack rates and the effective reproductive number among school children, comparing those without mandatory face covering masks (FCM) and those with FCM during the first term of the school year 2021–2022, to assess the effect of FCM mandates on SARS-CoV-2 transmission within schools,” explains a summary of the work. Researchers focused on comparing children in the last year of preschool (P5) and the first year of primary education, as the younger group had no face mask mandate, whereas the older group did. “The main findings of the study show no significant differences for children in the last grade of preschool (P5) and the first year of primary education in COVID-19 transmission indicators during the study period, despite their difference in FCM mandate and the strong age dependency of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in schools,” explained researchers. “In conclusion, FCM mandates in schools showed no significant differences in terms of transmission. Conversely, we found that age is a key component explaining transmission in children,” summarized researchers. The Spanish case study follows additional studies demonstrating the failed efficacy of face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19, even exacerbating the spread of the virus in certain demographics. https://www.theepochtimes.com/study-americans-own-more-than-415-million-firearms_4737834.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Study: Americans Own More Than 415 Million Firearms Americans now own more than 415 million firearms, according to Georgetown professor William English. This was a key finding of the National Firearms Survey that was conducted last year by Denver-based research firm Centiment at the request of English, a professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. English is a political economist interested in ethics, education, and public policy. The survey, which is part of a larger book project, is reportedly the largest ever undertaken regarding U.S. gun owners. The survey was administered to about 54,000 U.S. residents aged 18 and older, focusing on 16,708 gun owners who were provided with in-depth questions about their ownership and use of firearms, including defensive uses. The purpose of the survey was to “shed some light from a social-scientific view on the reality of how guns are used and owned in America today,” English said during a Sept. 11 podcast produced by The Reload, a publication focused on the policies and politics surrounding firearms. “And the attempt was to make it the largest survey of gun owners yet done, particularly so that we can get statistically informative information in all 50 states. Probably the last survey of this scope was done back in 1994 … but it’s now more than a quarter century old,” he said. English teased the findings of the survey in a May 18 summary on an academic website called Social Science Research Network but updated the summary on Sept. 13 to add the 415 million figure for gun ownership. Because the U.S. Census Bureau now estimates the U.S. population to be 333 million people, the 415 million figure means that there are now about 1.25 firearms for every person living in the United States. Of those 415 million firearms, Americans own about 171 million handguns, 146 million rifles, and 98 million shotguns, according to the update. About 39 million individuals, or 48 percent of gun owners, have owned magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Some jurisdictions regulate magazine capacity. The newly released information helps to put facts that English previously released from the study into a broader context. The study found that the United States has an overall rate of adult firearm ownership of 31.9 percent, which suggests that more than 81.4 million Americans aged 18 years and older own firearms. The average gun owner owns about five firearms, and handguns are the most common type of firearm owned, the summary states. Among gun owners, 57.8 percent are male and 42.2 percent are female. About 34.3 percent of whites own firearms, compared to 28.3 percent of Hispanics, 25.4 percent of blacks, and 19.4 percent of Asians, according to the summary. Nearly a third of gun owners, or 31.1 percent, reported in the survey that they have used a gun to defend themselves or their property, often more than once. The report summary estimated that firearms are used defensively by their owners in about 1.67 million incidents each year. Handguns are used in 65.9 percent of defensive incidents, although in most such incidents no shot was fired. About a quarter (25.2 percent) of defensive incidents took place inside the gun owner’s home, and a little more than half (53.9 percent) happened outside their home but on their property. Almost one in 10 (9.1 percent) of defensive gun uses took place in public and about one out of 30 (3.2 percent) took place at work, according to the summary. The report comes after a landmark Supreme Court ruling on June 23 finding for the first time that there’s a constitutional right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. The court also found that gun regulations must be deeply rooted in U.S. history if they’re to survive constitutional scrutiny, prompting a raft of new lawsuits across the country challenging gun control measures. Applications for gun permits in states that require them have been rising following the court decision. President Joe Biden is pushing for a federal ban on so-called assault weapons after Congress approved new gun control measures in June, including financial incentives to encourage the enactment of state-level red-flag gun confiscation laws. The research paper also comes as major credit card companies, at the behest of gun control activists, are implementing what critics characterize as backdoor gun control. The International Organization for Standardization recently announced that one of its subcommittees had decided to create a new merchant category code for firearms, which were previously under the general merchandise category. Critics say the policy change will make it easier for governments both to track and discourage firearms purchases and could lay the groundwork for a national gun registry.

That is not a typo. Rather than devoting federal resources to improving our national infrastructure, Biden is wasting millions to address the problem of “racist roads.” What makes a road racist? I’m just the messenger here, but according to MSNBC, so-called “racist roads” being targeted by Biden were “designed to facilitate white flight and deprive black communities of housing and commercial opportunities.” Fellow white dude Pete Buttigieg, who occasionally makes appearances pretending to be the Transportation Secretary, confirmed that $104.6 million in federal funds from last year’s bipartisan infrastructure bill will be used to dismantle Interstate 375 in Detroit. “This stretch of I-375 cuts like a gash through the neighborhood, one of many examples I have seen in communities across the country where a piece of infrastructure has become a barrier,” Buttigieg told the Associated Press. “With these funds, we’re now partnering with the state and the community to transform it into a road that will connect rather than divide.” https://www.foxnews.com/media/don-lemon-roasted-royal-expert-answer-britain-paying-reparations-ready And now this!

When CNN's Don Lemon threw a reparations question at Hilary Fordwich, he probably expected some woke validation. Instead, he got the greatest 90 second history lesson ever. Watch the video for yourself. It's linked in the article. As the midterms elections near, it's tempting to look to one side or the other as a political savior. But be careful. David S. D'Amato warns that both sides of the aisle are degenerating into authoritarianism. It may sound cliche but hard work is part of a life of happiness. Dr. Kimberlee Josephson notes that work won't love you back and that's how it should be. The most important solution that any of us can supply to a broken world is to become an extraordinary individual. Jeff Deist shares five keys to professional and personal success and each of them is spot on. It's revealing how many Americans perceive the demographics of this nation, based on the skewed propaganda that they receive through the legacy media. Theodore Roosevelt Malloch says, show me the numbers please.

Today's show is why you should be tuned in every day to The Alan Sanders Show. We get hit with so many individual news stories each day, it's hard to keep track of them all. It's even hard, then, to keep the context of the overall narrative fresh in our minds when we are hit with “breaking” news by the hour. Today is a perfect chance for me to circle around and tie together what the Leftists have been doing and to point out their obvious objective. We start with the bigot, Don Lemon of CNN. Lemon is a race-hustler who is always looking to keep the fires of racism stoked and burning. It's how he's made his career – spiraling though it may be of late. On the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, Lemon decided to ask about reparations as a result of England's colonialism. In a brilliant retort, British analyst Hilary Fordwich hits Lemon with history, context and a reverse conclusion with such force and efficiency, he is left silent and gobsmacked. Fordwich's response was a masterclass in how to take apart a racial bigot by first, not accepting the premise, and then, delivering facts with pleasant conviction. We then move to a 41 year old, North Dakota man charged with murdering an 18 year old kid because he was considered a “Republican extremist.” Remember the words of Joe Biden in front of Independence Hall just a few weeks ago? Then look at how the Left has been using the word “extremist” for anyone who is not in lock-step with the Biden regime? Now there is more blood on the hands of those with that message. The Left is almost always the purveyors of violence, including burning, pillaging, maiming and killing those to whom they disagree or feel justifiably aggrieved. Next we move to a group of lawyers – those who are supposed to understand and know the laws of our land – deciding to file a suit against Governor Ron DeSantis over him flying illegal migrants to a sanctuary jurisdiction. The suit claims these illegals, who broke our laws and are not citizens of the United States, have had their US Constitutional rights violated. These lawyers know the Constitution does not apply, but they don't care. While condemning the Governor of Florida for pulling a political stunt with the illegals, these lawyers decide to one-up DeSantis and pull a stunt of their own. Now we move to a non-profit organization called, “Good Information Foundation,” who got caught paying social media influencers to lie about Donald Trump and January 6. A group founded by left-wing billionaire George Soros and others, pretend to be fighting mis- dis- and mal-information by putting out some of the biggest pieces of propaganda they can. They are literally paying people to lie about Donald Trump and January 6. All of this goes back to the main goals of the January 6 Committee: 1) Convince the world the 2020 election was perfect; 2) Anyone who questions the 2020 election is an enemy of the state; and, 3) Anyone who ever tries to rock the apple cart of the swamp will be destroyed. We are watching that play out in front of our very eyes. The violence. The rhetoric. The Biden regime labeling their political opponents as extremists and violent and an enemy of democracy is all part of their plan to retain power and keep pushing for their fascists/Marxist utopia. We have realize, they do not want to support the Constitution, they do not want America great and they do not want to be in a Republic. They want a two-tiered system where the elites have their own set of rules and are insulated from the rest of the country.

When CNN's Don Lemon threw a reparations question at Hilary Fordwich, he probably expected some woke validation. Instead, he got the greatest 90 second history lesson ever. Watch the video for yourself. It's linked in the article. As the midterms elections near, it's tempting to look to one side or the other as a political savior. But be careful. David S. D'Amato warns that both sides of the aisle are degenerating into authoritarianism. It may sound cliche but hard work is part of a life of happiness. Dr. Kimberlee Josephson notes that work won't love you back and that's how it should be. The most important solution that any of us can supply to a broken world is to become an extraordinary individual. Jeff Deist shares five keys to professional and personal success and each of them is spot on. It's revealing how many Americans perceive the demographics of this nation, based on the skewed propaganda that they receive through the legacy media. Theodore Roosevelt Malloch says, show me the numbers please.

The use of face masks in classrooms made “no significant difference” in COVID-19 infection rates, according to a new study. A cohort of researchers from several universities and hospitals in Spain came to the conclusion by analyzing COVID-19 transmission rates, age, and the mandated use of face masks in classrooms across the region of Catalonia. The study – “Unravelling the Role of the Mandatory use of Face Covering Masks for the Control of SARS-CoV-2 in Schools: a Quasi-Experimental Study Nested in a Population-Based Cohort in Catalonia (Spain)” – compiled data from 1,907 schools with a total of 599,314 pupils during the first term of the 2021 academic year. It was included in August’s edition of the peer-reviewed journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, which is a part of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Group. Though COVID-19 variants such as Omicron occurred outside of the timeframe of the study, researchers maintain it is “unlikely that the effectiveness of the mask mandate measure will increase with a more transmissible variant.” “We analysed routinely collected health data to compare the incidence of SARS-CoV-2, secondary attack rates and the effective reproductive number among school children, comparing those without mandatory face covering masks (FCM) and those with FCM during the first term of the school year 2021–2022, to assess the effect of FCM mandates on SARS-CoV-2 transmission within schools,” explains a summary of the work. Researchers focused on comparing children in the last year of preschool (P5) and the first year of primary education, as the younger group had no face mask mandate, whereas the older group did. “The main findings of the study show no significant differences for children in the last grade of preschool (P5) and the first year of primary education in COVID-19 transmission indicators during the study period, despite their difference in FCM mandate and the strong age dependency of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in schools,” explained researchers. “In conclusion, FCM mandates in schools showed no significant differences in terms of transmission. Conversely, we found that age is a key component explaining transmission in children,” summarized researchers. The Spanish case study follows additional studies demonstrating the failed efficacy of face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19, even exacerbating the spread of the virus in certain demographics. https://www.theepochtimes.com/study-americans-own-more-than-415-million-firearms_4737834.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Study: Americans Own More Than 415 Million Firearms Americans now own more than 415 million firearms, according to Georgetown professor William English. This was a key finding of the National Firearms Survey that was conducted last year by Denver-based research firm Centiment at the request of English, a professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. English is a political economist interested in ethics, education, and public policy. The survey, which is part of a larger book project, is reportedly the largest ever undertaken regarding U.S. gun owners. The survey was administered to about 54,000 U.S. residents aged 18 and older, focusing on 16,708 gun owners who were provided with in-depth questions about their ownership and use of firearms, including defensive uses. The purpose of the survey was to “shed some light from a social-scientific view on the reality of how guns are used and owned in America today,” English said during a Sept. 11 podcast produced by The Reload, a publication focused on the policies and politics surrounding firearms. “And the attempt was to make it the largest survey of gun owners yet done, particularly so that we can get statistically informative information in all 50 states. Probably the last survey of this scope was done back in 1994 … but it’s now more than a quarter century old,” he said. English teased the findings of the survey in a May 18 summary on an academic website called Social Science Research Network but updated the summary on Sept. 13 to add the 415 million figure for gun ownership. Because the U.S. Census Bureau now estimates the U.S. population to be 333 million people, the 415 million figure means that there are now about 1.25 firearms for every person living in the United States. Of those 415 million firearms, Americans own about 171 million handguns, 146 million rifles, and 98 million shotguns, according to the update. About 39 million individuals, or 48 percent of gun owners, have owned magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Some jurisdictions regulate magazine capacity. The newly released information helps to put facts that English previously released from the study into a broader context. The study found that the United States has an overall rate of adult firearm ownership of 31.9 percent, which suggests that more than 81.4 million Americans aged 18 years and older own firearms. The average gun owner owns about five firearms, and handguns are the most common type of firearm owned, the summary states. Among gun owners, 57.8 percent are male and 42.2 percent are female. About 34.3 percent of whites own firearms, compared to 28.3 percent of Hispanics, 25.4 percent of blacks, and 19.4 percent of Asians, according to the summary. Nearly a third of gun owners, or 31.1 percent, reported in the survey that they have used a gun to defend themselves or their property, often more than once. The report summary estimated that firearms are used defensively by their owners in about 1.67 million incidents each year. Handguns are used in 65.9 percent of defensive incidents, although in most such incidents no shot was fired. About a quarter (25.2 percent) of defensive incidents took place inside the gun owner’s home, and a little more than half (53.9 percent) happened outside their home but on their property. Almost one in 10 (9.1 percent) of defensive gun uses took place in public and about one out of 30 (3.2 percent) took place at work, according to the summary. The report comes after a landmark Supreme Court ruling on June 23 finding for the first time that there’s a constitutional right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. The court also found that gun regulations must be deeply rooted in U.S. history if they’re to survive constitutional scrutiny, prompting a raft of new lawsuits across the country challenging gun control measures. Applications for gun permits in states that require them have been rising following the court decision. President Joe Biden is pushing for a federal ban on so-called assault weapons after Congress approved new gun control measures in June, including financial incentives to encourage the enactment of state-level red-flag gun confiscation laws. The research paper also comes as major credit card companies, at the behest of gun control activists, are implementing what critics characterize as backdoor gun control. The International Organization for Standardization recently announced that one of its subcommittees had decided to create a new merchant category code for firearms, which were previously under the general merchandise category. Critics say the policy change will make it easier for governments both to track and discourage firearms purchases and could lay the groundwork for a national gun registry.

Don Lemon is hosting his final shows in primetime on CNN. Last week...Don Lemon had Hilary Fordwich on Don Lemon Tonight to discuss the British government and the Royal Family repaying for past transgressions. Don Lemon supported the theory...but was immediately silenced by the response of Hilary Fordwich. We reveal and react to the segment between Don Lemon and Hilary Fordwich. We explain why the British Royal Family isn't responsible for paying for past transgressions. We also discuss the reason Don Lemon was stunned to silence...and the lack of coverage of this story in the mainstream media.

In this clip from The Bald Brad Show, recently sidelined CNN host Don Lemon was taken to school by British royal commentator Hilary Fordwich after he suggested the vast wealth inherited by King Charles III after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II should be spent on reparations for descendants of the victims of the African slave trade. Furthermore, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) unloaded on Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), chairman of the House Democrats, for claiming on Tuesday that he and Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) were “behaving like human traffickers.” Lastly, relatively speaking, it is pretty rare that President Joe Biden speaks to the press, but when he does, it is apparent that he has no idea what he is talking about.

Today we're starting off with a hilarious clip of CNN's Don Lemon getting schooled on reparations by royal commentator Hilary Fordwich, and we discuss why the idea of reparations is based on a collectivist mentality and has no grounding in Christian theology. Then, we look at the story of an Ontario shop teacher who came to school with gigantic prosthetic breasts on and how his school district released a statement in support of the teacher's "identity."

His guest, Hilary Fordwich, immediately flipped the age of slavery reparations' narrative around and silenced Lemon.
