The Morning Rant

They lie. They manipulate. They fake numbers. They fake data. They have their cronies in the various administrative departments massage the numbers and delay the release of the actual...real...data for political ends.

And their fellow travelers in the media are 100% in lockstep with them. And not just lockstep...they actively tilt their message with deeply biased "reporting," They commission studies that are intended to bolster a political narrative that is at odds with reality, then amplify the false message so that it appears to be the accepted orthodoxy.

In this case it is the widely assumed but absolutely incorrect assumption that political violence is the domain of the right. But it's easy to claim that when the data themselves are manipulated with fake definitions that protect the privileged: Arab terrorists, Antifa street thugs, BLM murderers are curiously absent from the data, or redefined into oblivion.

And hilariously...the sources for much of the data are themselves evil political organizations that have not a shred of credibility in the real world. Gentlemen, I give you the SPLC and the ADL! Otherwise known as friends of the KKK and Judaism-hating pseudo-Jews.

So don't believe anything they say until you confirm it with your independent examination of the data, and even then, be deeply suspicious!

Debunking the Data That Claims to Show Most Political Violence Comes From the Right

On the Left, people point to January 6 as well as data purporting to show that most political violence comes from the Right. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, The Economist ran a piece claiming to explain “what the data show,” which suggested that most political violence was a Right-wing phenomenon. Other publications cited studies from the Center for Strategic & International Studies or the CATO Institute.

The problem is, the “data” that these outlets have been relying on is deeply flawed.

One of the major sources is the Prosecution Project, an initiative of the University of Cincinnati, which analyzes felony criminal cases involving political violence and sorts them by ideology. “The project examines criminal complaints, indictments and court records, looking for crimes that seek ‘a socio-political change or to communicate’ to outside audiences,” per The Economist. “Its data show that extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers.”

Yet if you pull up the data center yourself, you can see immediately that it is deeply flawed.

Read the entire thing, and check her work! Because that is what sane people do. This is a vitally important analysis, for the obvious reasons, but also because it proves that what we all suspected was in fact the truth...we cannot believe anything the left says...and the left is everywhere.
