Watch: Company Unveils Bullet Vending Machine
A new vending machine that sells ammunition is turning heads inside an Alabama supermarket, offering gun owners a novel way to purchase ammo without having to interact with a store clerk.
Purchasing ammo through the vending machine appears to have more safeguards than the US voting system; customers select their ammo type and scan their identification, then a facial recognition camera uses AI to verify their identity.
American Rounds COO Lawrence Songer told WVTM public reaction to the machine, installed inside the Fresh Value grocery store in Pell City in November 2023, has been mostly positive.
“The reviews and interactions we’ve had with customers think it’s a good idea. They think it’s convenient. They like the fact that it’s here,” Songer said, adding, “Sales have been steady and strong at all the locations we’ve launched, so far. And, hopefully it just continues that trend.”
However, one Fresh Value shopper expressed he thought it made ammunition too accessible.
“If you’re a responsible person, you don’t mind walking up to a counter and saying, ‘Hey, I need some .380 ammo or I need some 14 ammo,’ and if it takes you an extra second or two, so be it. You’re dealing with something that can take someone’s life. So I think that’s not too much of a price to ask,” the customer stated.
Songer contends the machine safely stores and secures the ammo so retail employees “don’t have the worry of putting something out on their store shelves that someone could steal.”
The company has so far put machines in 6 locations throughout Alabama and Oklahoma.
Submission Is a Good Place To Start
“Tonight will go down in history,” he began, as they reported the first returns. The National Front was way ahead, with 34.1 per cent of the vote. That part was more or less expected. It was what the polls had said all month—Marine Le Pen had gained only a few points in the last weeks of the campaign. But behind her, the Socialists had 21.8 per cent and the Muslim Brotherhood 21.7 per cent—they were neck and neck. With such a slim margin, they could easily switch positions, and probably would several times before the night was over: so far only the polling stations in Paris and the other big cities had reported. With 12.1 per cent of the vote, the conservative Union for a Popular Movement was clearly out of the running…”
Michel Houellebecq is France’s greatest living novelist, by some margin. He’s also it’s greatest prophet, divining the future in his novels, again and again, with an astounding prescience.
In his 2001 novel Platform, for example, which follows the career of a Parisian civil servant who gives up his humdrum existence for a life of sex tourism in South-East Asia, Houellebecq predicted the end of Fukuyama’s “End of History” and the rise of militant Islam as a force on the world stage. As a group of jetski-riding jihadis disembark on a Thai beach and begin slaughtering Western tourists in the book’s shocking conclusion, the certainties of the liberal “unipolar moment”—the sense of triumphalism brought about by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the West’s historic defeat of communism—vaporise in a cloud of smoke. Platform was published exactly two weeks before the planes hit the Twin Towers.
Another example. In 2019, Houellebecq’s novel Serotonin, in its depiction of a violent revolt by France’s desperate farmers, seemed to predict the rise just a few months later of the Gilets Jeunes or “Yellow Vests” movement in France. The mass movement looked set to bring the Macron government down until COVID-19 intervened and made large gatherings impossible. Very convenient, that.
But it’s Houellebecq’s 2015 novel Submission that really hits home the hardest, especially today, less than 24 hours after the latest round of parliamentary elections in France. Submission is a book about the Islamicization of France and the French people’s own complicity in it, including the book’s protagonist, a mild-mannered university lecturer who lacks the courage to resist and finally, at the end of the book, comes to peace with his role in the new Muslim France. As if to make Houellebecq’s prophecy all the more chilling, the book was published on the very day of the Charlie Hebdo shootings, when Islamic gunmen stormed into the offices of a satirical magazine that had dared to ridicule Islam, and slaughtered 12 people and injured 11 others. One of Houellebcq’s friends was killed in the attack.
Submission isn’t just a description of what life in an Islamic France might be like. It’s also an examination of how it happened. France becomes an Islamic state, ruled by an explicitly Islamic government, because the country’s leftist parties and political establishment can’t bear to see the country handed over to Le Pen, despite the fact that her party wins the largest share of the popular vote in the latest election. To prevent a truly right-wing government, the socialist party enters into a coalition with France’s newly formed Muslim Brotherhood, and its leader, Mohammed Ben Abbes, becomes the leader of the country.
There is no civil war, although one is threatened at multiple times in the book. There is no real violence, apart from the brutalisation of French citizens by the “new French” imported from North Africa and the Middle East. In the end, France as we know it simply collapses through exhaustion, political corruption and the inevitable effects of demographic change as a result of mass immigration.
Nine years later, and two years after the date for the Islamic takeover given in the book, Houellebecq’s prediction about the future of French politics has effectively come true. There may not be a French Muslim Brotherhood—yet—or a Muslim president—yet—but the broad details are all there. Macron has handed over the French government to the hard left, whose agenda is in many respects—and certainly with regard to immigration and foreign affairs (i.e. Palestine)—Islamicist in nature.
For the sake of keeping Le Pen at bay, Macron will allow the pace of demographic change to intensify yet further, which of course will only make the French establishment’s Le Pen problem worse, at least in the short term. France’s new left-wing alliance has already put forward dozens of demands related to immigration, all of which will allow even more people to come to France legally, including so-called “climate refugees” fleeing climate change, and make it all-but-impossible to expel illegal immigrants and foreign criminals.
Houellebecq possesses no crystal ball. He simply understands the French political system and the true depth of the cravenness of the French establishment. He knows the establishment would do anything to prevent Le Pen winning: that they would make a deal with the devil himself—or, failing that, Mohammed. He knows that they will keep doing this, for as long as it takes.
Submission offers no easy answers to this problem. In fact, it offers no answers at all. The key is in the title: “submission”—the meaning of the term “Islam.” In one of the book’s most poignant moments, the protagonist’s Jewish girlfriend flees France for Israel, but the protagonist is left to lament that, as a European, “There is no Israel for me.”
At that’s left is acceptance.
Deal with it.
So far, the French right have not taken the defeat lying down. Former presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, leader of Reconquête (Reconquest), issued a defiant statement yesterday as the results came in.
“No despair! Starting tomorrow, the fight must continue!” he wrote on Twitter.
“This evening, I know that the disappointment of our people is immense. For the right, for France, for all those who care about their security, their freedom, their identity, for all those who want France to emerge from the terrible crisis into which Macron has plunged it, the result is bitter.
“France has spoken on the right and the government will probably be on the left. So, what can we say about all those politicians who have called for voting for the far left? What can we say about Macronism, which disgraced itself by allowing Islamo-leftism to score this evening? What can we say about these false right-wingers, all these artists, these footballers, who have improvised as directors of conscience against the interests of the French? We will remember it.
“Millions of French people voted for the right this evening, despite the injunctions of the media, despite the turmoil of politicians. This is great news, worthy of the patriotism of our people. These elections will also have had the merit of clarifying the confrontation between the right and left-wing Islamism, between those who want France to remain France and its enemies who dream of seeing it disappear.”
These are fine words. And the French should be hopeful.
One thing Houellebecq didn’t reckon with, because it seemed far less possible in 2015, before the Migrant Crisis, is a massive resurgence of the right across the entire continent, from Hungary to Italy, and even Germany and the UK. This is now taking definite shape. He also couldn’t have seen the stunning rise in popularity of right-wing parties among the younger generations. The anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany is now the most popular party among 18-30 year olds in Germany, and throughout the election French TikTok was awash with anti-immigrant videos and proud declarations of “Yes, I’m racist” by boys and girls who a few short years ago would have been hanging around the trendier parts of Paris taking artful photos of themselves for their style blogs.
Even so, Houellebecq diagnosed, with tremendous acuity, the French people’s predicament, caught between rapid demographic change and an elite that will prevent them from doing anything about it. The answer is not submission, but Submission is a good place to start.
Epstein Files Come At A Bad Time For The Elite
Whoopi Goldberg: I Don’t Care If Biden Has Pooped His Pants & Can’t Put A Sentence Together
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg admitted this week she would vote for Joe Biden regardless of his clearly deteriorating mental state as long as it means keeping Donald Trump from retaking the White House.

“I don’t care if he’s [Biden] pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together. Show me he can’t do the job and then I’ll say, ‘Okay, maybe it’s time to go,’” she told the audience.
Goldberg added, “I have poopy days all the time. I step in so much poo you can’t even imagine. Now, I’m not running the world but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t step in stuff at some point. So, I’m just simply saying if he can’t do what he needs to do for the second debate, I’ll join any crew that says get rid of him.”
The strange remark by Whoopi came in response to millions of people across the world who suspect Biden is so senile he often defecates in his own pants.
The American left-wing is splitting as half support Sleepy Joe carrying on through the 2024 election and the others want him to drop out ASAP.
Michael Moore Calls Biden Campaign ‘Cruelest Form of Elder Abuse I’ve Ever Been Forced to Watch’
Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has joined calls for Joe Biden to step down, telling MSNBC the 81-year-old is being subjected to elder abuse by the Democrat Party.
“The problem here is that I think there is a form of elder abuse going on here where the Democratic Party and the people that are part of the apparatus are pushing and pushing him to stay. And then he comes out and says ‘I am staying,’ and the family says ‘I am staying,’” Moore told MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin.
“THIS IS A FORM OF ELDER ABUSE”

The Fahrenheit 9/11 director went on to say he was “heartbroken” by Biden’s debate performance.
“In spite of my criticisms with Biden, watching the debate a week ago was heartbreaking,” Moore said.
“It was like, imagine that was your father up there. I’m thinking, ‘Why isn’t anybody doing anything? Why did they let him go out on the stage in this condition? Who is looking out for him? Who is looking out for him right now?’”
The interview followed an episode of Moore’s podcast, where he explored the elder abuse angle in greater detail, arguing that besides having to debate “living monster” Donald Trump, the event was scheduled too late for an elderly man like Biden.
“If I have to be the only one to stand for Joe Biden — that’s right, you heard me say that — if I have to be the only one to stand up for Joe Biden here, to protect him from the cruelest form of elder abuse I’ve ever been forced to watch, well then that’s what I’ll do,” Moore said on his Rumble podcast, titled, “‘Elder Abuse’ is Refusing to Give the President a Neurological Exam — and Instead PUSHING Him to ‘Soldier On.’”
“He was in epic distress that Thursday night,” Moore continued.
“Every cognitive default in his mind seemed to be shutting down. If this had been somebody that you truly cared about, loved, embraced, what would you have done? Would you have seriously even let him go out on that stage? Who would send an 81-year-old out onto any stage to debate a living monster at nine o’clock at night for a brawl that would not end until 10:42 p.m.? Honestly, have any one of you ever looked at the clock, saw that it was getting near 11 p.m. and said to yourself, ‘I think I’m going to give grams and gramps a call’?”
It seems despite numerous documented gaffes and faux pas, Moore is barely acknowledging Biden is incapable of running the country, and panicking at the realization Trump will likely return to office.
Meanwhile, Biden is defiantly insisting he will stay in the 2024 presidential race, much to the chagrin of several Democrat colleagues.
What? Biden Admin Claims Voter ID Bill Will ‘Make It Much Harder For Eligible Americans’ to Vote
The Biden administration issued a statement against the House Republican proposal requiring proof of citizenship to vote, claiming the bill would “make it much harder for eligible Americans” to vote in the election.
In other news, cooking scrambled eggs will make it harder to eat breakfast.
House Republicans this week are set to introduce the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to vote with either a driver’s license, passport, or other form of ID.
After mentioning that “it’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections,” the Biden administration stressed that “states already have effective safeguards in place to verify voters’ eligibility and maintain the accuracy of voter rolls.”
“This bill would do nothing to safeguard our elections, but it would make it much harder for all eligible Americans to register to vote and increase the risk that eligible voters are purged from voter rolls,” the statement read, without elaborating on how exactly the bill would make it more difficult for eligible Americans to vote.

“The evidence is clear that the current laws to prevent noncitizens voting are working as intended — it is extraordinarily rare for noncitizens to break the law by voting in Federal elections.”
As we’ve reported, it’s not particularly difficult for noncitizens to register to vote, and some illegal aliens have openly announced their intention to vote in the election.
In fact, government agencies in 49 states are providing voter registration forms to illegal aliens without requiring proof of citizenship, according to reports.
This form from the battleground state of Arizona’s AHCCCS (Medicaid office) explicitly explains that citizenship status is not required to register to vote in the Federal election.
If you do not submit proof of citizenship and we cannot acquire your proof of citizenship from the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division or the statewide voter registration database, you will receive a ‘federal-only’ ballot, which has only federal races and no state, county, or local races or initiatives/referendums.
I will run this out, again. A form from Arizona’s AHCCCS (Medicaid office) very explicitly telling folks that if their citizenship status cannot be confirmed, no worries. We’ll make sure to send you a “federal-only” ballot. . . pic.twitter.com/X4HpZJreta

Likewise, an election loophole in the swing state of Wisconsin allows illegal aliens to obtain an ID to vote.
“Getting a free ID for Voting is easy even if you do not have the documentation to get a regular Wisconsin ID!” the state’s Dept. of Transportation website reads.
Meanwhile, just two years after banning ballot drop boxes from being used in its elections, the Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed the ruling and will now allow the use of ballot drop boxes to resume.
Muckraker journalists also showed noncitizens in North Carolina admit they were registered to vote in the election.

They also uncovered an NGO in Mexico distributing flyers to illegal aliens urging them to vote for Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election before crossing the U.S. southern border.
The SAVE Act is so cut and dry in laboring to secure elections that Elon Musk claimed anyone who opposes it amounts to a traitor against the United States.
“Those who oppose this are traitors. All Caps: TRAITORS What is the penalty for traitors again?” he wrote on X last week.

But that’s exactly what the Biden administration and Democrats are doing.
In fact, Democrats announced Sunday that they intend to “bring out the big guns” to try and block the SAVE Act from passing in the House.

Scientists Call for Global HALT of mRNA Technology — Study
A study published on June 29 detailed the ‘lessons learned’ from the mass Covid vaccination campaign influenced by the ‘insidious Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex’.
“This paper also discusses the insidious influence of the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, a closely coordinated collaboration between public health organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and regulatory agencies. We recommend a global moratorium on the modmRNA products until proper safety and toxicological studies are conducted,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
The researchers focused on the synthetic Covid modified mRNA (modmRNA) technology and its detrimental effects on the human race.
“…the premature termination of both trials obviated any reliable assessment of potential adverse events due to an insufficient timeframe for proper safety evaluation. Following authorization of the modmRNA products for global distribution, problems with the methods and execution of the trials have emerged. The usual safety testing protocols and toxicology requirements were bypassed. Many key trial findings were either misreported or omitted entirely from published trial reports,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
The researchers went on to discuss how after the injections began to be put inside of people, horrific side effects began to be observed.
“By implication, the secondary estimates of excess morbidity and mortality in both trials must be deemed underestimates. Rigorous re-analyses of trial data and post-marketing surveillance studies indicate a much more substantial degree of modmRNA-related harms than was initially reported,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section. “Confidential Pfizer documents had revealed 1.6 million adverse events by August 2022. A third were serious injuries to cardiovascular, neurological, thrombotic, immunological, and reproductive systems, along with an alarming increase in cancers. Moreover, well-designed studies have shown that repeated modmRNA injections cause immune dysfunction, thereby potentially contributing to heightened susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infections and increased risks of COVID-19.”

Mead et al Deliver Counter-Punch after Springer Nature Unethical Retraction of High-Impact Paper
Mead and co-workers found… pic.twitter.com/Gb4jUXCix0
Interestingly, while this study was published in late June, it was previously published back in January but was quickly retracted, something Dr. Peter McCullough said was uncalled for.
“Mead and co-workers found themselves at the center of a controversy when Springer Nature CUREUS Journal of Biomedical Sciences retracted their paper calling for global market withdrawal of mRNA vaccines. The retraction violated the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics Guidelines) for retraction and became a news story garnering even more attention. Other papers continued to cite Mead creating a stinging reverberation for Springer who was hoping to silence the paper,” McCullough said on Monday in his Substack.
The doctor continued by explaining how censoring scientific fact that doesn’t aid the medical establishment is the ‘new normal’.
“Springer Nature should have never retracted the paper. Rather letters to the editor and responses to the letters from authors should have been published as proper scientific interchange. The new normal is now unethical retraction, massive publicity, and republication with greater amplification of the message—precisely what the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is trying to squelch,” McCullough said.
The original study published in January read a bit differently, yet made similar points.
“Given the extensive, well-documented SAEs and unacceptably high harm-to-reward ratio, we urge governments to endorse a global moratorium on the modified mRNA products until all relevant questions pertaining to causality, residual DNA, and aberrant protein production are answered,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
Back in May other medical researchers called for a halt of the exotic mRNA Covid injection technology as well.
The Covid shots are known to make people retarded, increase in lethality after repeated doses and double the death rate of Covid patients, while 74 percent of the vaccinated who’ve died were killed by the shots and vaccinated children are 44 times more likely to die, yet the death rate is still higher than what is reported and it also increases Covid infection rates and all cause mortality in addition to increasing the death numbers, results in tons of bizarre and unusual skin disorders, insane and gross turbocancers, reproductive destruction, caused miscarriages, paralyzation, tinnitus, blood clots in the brain, non-serious disorders, death by neurological disorder, increased excess death rates, autoimmune disorders in the thyroid, as well as deadly headaches, seizures and heart inflammation including in children, while also causing the vaccinated people’s skin to ‘erupt’, in addition to a multitude of serious ailments seen in massive population studies while also containing hundreds of times the allowable levels of DNA contamination leading to mutagenic effects, contaminating the blood supply, as well as permanently altering the DNA of the vaccinated and their offspring, but while some batches are worse than others, the injections are still killing people and are expected to kill people for a very long time into the future.
In the U.S. the CDC recommends that all Americans receive their Covid shot and that young children receive extra, as well as that all Americans now receive another shot, despite receiving them previously, while Canada recommends another Covid shot for the pregnant, indigenous, ‘racialized’ & ‘equity-deserving’.
