Only our billionaires get to buy politicians! Ugh, stupid billionaires! Except the ones I like. Here’s more from FreedomToons.

Black Guns Matter
John Stossel reports that the media and politicians constantly warn about the dangers of firearms. They say too many people have guns.
But Black Guns Matter founder Maj Toure says there should be more guns! “Everybody should be walking around and like, oh man, I left my gun in the house. Let me go back and get it,” Toure said. He said that would make America freer and safer, especially in black communities, which he said, have been disproportionately hurt by gun control laws. More with Stossel and Toure.
Lab-Grown Meat Under Attack
It looks like meat, tastes like meat and is made from real animal cells, but lab-grown meat is under attack.
Florida and Alabama don’t want you to try it. Why?
John Stossel reports that the USDA and FDA have both approved lab-grown chicken in the U.S. But farmers and ranchers fear the competition. They worry it could threaten traditional food production.
Stossel says now they’ve lobbied and convinced some politicians to ban it. “I asked one lobbyist, “Why not let us consumers decide? Why are you bribing politicians to ban it?” His reponse: “The government has a legitimate role in ensuring that we have an abundant and affordable and safe food supply—you can’t say that about this lab grown meat.”
Stossel says having another option will make our food supply more resistant to disruption. He explains further and argues that it’s wrong when politicians make that decision for us.
Enemy Was Planted Inside Of Us
In every election cycle, political parties and politicians appoint themselves experts in the problems Americans face–the economy, unemployment, conflict and wars, and poverty, to name a few.
What they don’t realize is that they’re addressing the symptoms of these troubles, not the root causes. Inspired’s Jean Nolan suggests, “The literally planted the problem inside of us and we are not aware of it.”
Nolan says the real problems take on a more psychological nature and are directly connected to our psyche–dilemmas such as trust difficulties, chronic anxiety and depression, identity confusion and managing emotions. And what causes this disruption in our lives? “All of this is the result of systematic childhood trauma and/or unresolved multigenerational trauma. He explains further and takes a deeper dive into the issue.
Dam Liars!
Looney environmentalists are adamant about ending fossil fuels. They tell us to use clean energy, such as wind, solar and hydropower. But now, John Stossel reports that politicians and activists want to destroy hydroelectric dams!
Stossel says activists have targeted four dams on the Snake River in Washington state, claiming they are driving, salmon extinct. He welcomes the Washington Policy Center’s Todd Myers to the discussion, who says, “All you have to do is to go and look at the actual population numbers to know that’s absurd.” More with Stossel and Myers.
How Rent Control Hurts Renters
With rents skyrocketing across the nation, activists and politicians are turning to rent-control policies.
But John Stossel reports that everywhere this tactic has been implemented, it harms the people it’s meant to help. He explains further, citing the strict rent-control policies imposed by St. Paul, Minn., a couple of years ago.
The Clone World Horror Show
How many of our politicians and celebrities are actually clones? How many were spawned out of underground labs? The cloning nowadays is extremely advanced and sophisticated. Memories and reactions have been programmed into place.
Meanwhile, what is the difference between an indictment and an arrest? And who is Alysin Cooper? Any relationship with Anderson Cooper? Here’s more from McAllister TV.
Worse Than Epstein?!?
Are the P. Diddy tapes seized by the federal government much worse than the blackmail tapes that Jeffrey Epstein shot at every one of his mansions and vacation bungalows?
That’s an argument WeAreChange addresses in its latest video. It’s alleged that celebrities, politicians, princes and preachers are all on tapes possibly seized by the feds from Sean P Diddy Combs’ home.
There’s also a breakdown done showing parallels to similar cases, including government involvement, and how this case could possibly be even worse.
The End Of Freelancers?
Joe Biden’s Labor Department just imposed 300 pages of new rules, which they claim will help freelancers.
Not so says John Stossel. Apparently the leftists didn’t notice how similar rules in California actually hurt freelancers! Stossel, who says he reported on the law four years ago, noted that California politicians and the media claimed freelancers were being abused. Their solution was a new law that reclassified millions of them as staff employees—whether they liked it or not.
Politicians claimed businesses would now be forced to pay them wages and benefits that they deserve. “In reality, what’s actually happening is they’re just letting them all go,” said freelance musician Ari Herstand.
Stossel says four years years later, the results are in and so many careers were ruined that California exempted more than a hundred industries, but freelancers still lost their jobs. “Yet now, the Labor Department is forcing the rest of the country to be more like California?” Stossel says. Here’s more.
