One of the “stars” in Dinesh D’ouza’s “2000 Mules”, who keeps claiming to have proof of election fraud but never seems to have any real proof, was kicked out of a gathering where he was going to produce evidence (narrator: He didn’t) because he was carrying a gun. > **[Dinesh D’Souza Movie Star Booted From Party for Bringing Gun](https://www.thedailybeast.com/gregg-phillips-dinesh-dsouza-movie-star-booted-from-party-for-bringing-gun)** > > What was meant to be Gregg Phillips’ moment of triumph ended in disaster ---

I don’t think bringing a gun was the story, that happened at the party after the “big reveal.” > The big reveal, however, turned out to be a [massive flop](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/15/trump-voter-fraud-2020-election/), with Phillips merely directing his fans to a partially built website that appears to offer supporters a chance to pay money to see proof of election fraud. Apparently the student is trying to surpass the master, asking them to pay money up front to see the ~~bearded lady~~ proof of election fraud. ---

I am of the opinion that D’Souza, and others who share his particular distinction, should always be introduced and referred to as “convicted felon Dinesh D’Souza”. Particularly when he is appearing in public and on media outlets, and certainly when being identified on message boards. ---

A Texas school district ruled that all books which have ever been called for censorship, must be taken off the school shelves until the board has had a chance to study them. That meant they had to take the Bible down. > **[A Texas school district just banned the Bible.

Speaking of Dinesh, I’ve been having an argument on another board about how _2000 Mules_ has been debunked several times. My esteemed opponent won’t accept cites from Reuters, Politifact, the AP, BBC, or Al Jazeera because they have a leftward bias. But he thinks that Breitbart is more reputable, so that’s his pillar of neutrality. ---
