The Lancet, a respected online medical journal, issued an apology to its readers in an edition last year after the retraction. “We deeply apologize to you, the editors, and the journal readership for any embarrassment or inconvenience that this may have caused,” the publishers of The Lancet said.
The Lancet’s endorsement of the study was withdrawn because the Surgisphere Corporation, the company that provided data, refused to provide full access to the information it based its study on. Peer review medical journals typically engage in third-party peer review to validate the findings.
A liberal immigration activist forced NPR to change a photograph on a news article because it had an “inflammatory” image of a migrant caravan.
Attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council objected to the use of a photograph of a migrant caravan on one of NPR’s articles on Thursday.
“And it begins—NPR uses an inflammatory picture of a caravan that was broken up days ago for a story about a deportation moratorium that only applies to those here months ago and a policy reversal that wouldn’t have affected almost all of the caravan even if they had made it here,” he tweeted. Editors who draft headlines and choose pictures for stories, please, I beg you, these small choices matter a LOT.
I guarantee you that 99% of the people who saw this tweet did not click the story, and as a result will leave with a completely false opinion about what happened. pic.twitter.com/kA9VrHsrmV — Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@ReichlinMelnick) January 21, 2021 The article reported the announcement of the Biden administration to rescind the policy of the former Trump administration to keep non-Mexican applicants for amnesty in Mexico for the duration of their application being processed.
Reichlin-Melknick explained in a further tweet that the caravan was down to approximately 3,200 migrants in one report after starting with 7,000.
“That’s up from 3,000 reported on Tuesday—so that number will keep climbing,” he said of the migrants leaving the caravan and returning to their home country.
Several hours later Reichlin-Melnick praised NPR for changing the image to one that is less “inflammatory” in his estimation.

Protesters say the newly inaugurated President Biden ‘will not save us’
One demonstrator in the liberal-leaning city carried a banner that read, “We don’t want Biden – we want revenge,” according to the New York Times.
Another banner read: “We are ungovernable.”
The demonstrations follow those this past summer over police brutality that at times devolved into acts of arson, deadly violence, looting and damage to businesses and government buildings.
In Seattle on Wednesday, groups vandalized property while carrying banners that read, “No Cops, Prisons, Borders, Presidents.”
“A Democratic administration is not a victory for oppressed people,” said a flier that was handed out.
Demonstrators also spray painted anarchist symbols on federal buildings and chanted against Biden and former President Trump.
Every news channel is ablaze this week with the FBI threat assessment about the inauguration of Joe Biden. Headline after headling about extremist group plots, etc. However, the actual threat assessment report says the exact opposite. There are no identified credible threats. No threats from extremists, no cyber threats, no threats using drones … none. Had any ‘journalist’ taken a few minutes to actually read the report they’d know that and stop spreading panic porn all over the country.
Mixed in with the stories of some previous incidents, many that left out many contexts, are the actual threat assessments. They are found on pages 2 and 6.
Basically, it’s a standard threat assessment. There are no identified credible threats but authorities must be on the lookout for threats missed leading up to the event. This is a vanilla and routine threat assessment. They warn about the usual suspects, including Islamic terrorists. This isn’t stopping the media from distorting what the report actually says.
As most of you know, I’d previously been banned from Twitter for posting about 3D printed guns.
My company came to me a while back and asked that I get back on and we went through the verification process to get my blue checkmark.
I don’t need to spend a lot of time going over what you already know about Twitter’s lies and double-standards.
The time has come to leave Twitter again … permanently.
They not only engage in hypocritical censoring of conservatives while allowing far more egregious violations by leftists, but they allow terrorism, anti-Semitism, and they allow China to promote their ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs as a positive thing.
Twitter’s censorship begins and ends with their political opposition, full stop.
They can have their echo chamber to feed their derangement.
I’ve been on Parler a long time. Far longer than many of you have even known about the website. Find me there instead of Twitter @caseythehost.
Facebook is my largest community and I have no plans to leave Facebook. However, my business will.
I hate to break it to you, John Wick is fake as hell. It’s awesome but fake.
Most of the opposition to suppressors come from people who’ve never heard a real one. They believe the Hollywood fakery on how much sound they put out and actually think you can kill someone in a crowded room without anyone hearing.
There are countless examples of people making this claim as the suppressor debate raged in 2016. There was a narrative that Trump would make suppressors easy to access and cheap if he became president, and countless people would die without a sound. How’d that conspiracy turn out?
Here’s an example of that ignorant fear-mongering by Hillary Clinton (who was shot at by snipers in Bosnia):
The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.
That tweet was fact-checked into oblivion but anti-gun activists are a cult. They are never embarrassed when their dogma is debunked. Nor do they stop repeating said debunked dogma, leading to more ignorant people falling for the lie.
That’s why this video is so good.
It takes a scene from John Wick where a gun battle happens in a crowded train station without anyone noticing. Again, people actually believe this is possible.
The video replaces the fake and unrealistic shooting sounds with sounds more accurately representing what it would really sound like as these two shot at each other with suppressors.
Like nearly everything you hear or see from Hollywood, movie suppressor sounds are far from reality.
