Still busy, a bit of catchup before the day starts

Too stupid to know what flag she's tearing down while yelling "Genocide!"


What?  They hid studies so as to make the Greens happy?
Who's surprised?


Because it's the NYeffingTimes, and they love them some terrorists.


My, various Feebs seem to have trouble with letting things out they shouldn't.


The Atlantic recycles bullshit.  and Jeffrey Goldberg is an asshole.


Connecticut: "It's not about crime, it's about restricting what guns you can own."

If you read the MHI novels, you'll know why I need one of these.


Friend loaned me this book, like the pusher he is.  It's pretty good.


Yes, this bastard should resign.  Won't, but should.


And that's all I've got time for.  Except to say that Trump making fries and working the drive-through was marvelous trolling, and it worked.

First, when a politician lies this much and publicly on such an easily checked matter,

say, their record of what they did with the lockdown bullshit, you know they're worried about the blowback.


Second, don't trust the public schools.  Because they'll lie and then try to hide/destroy the evidence of what they're doing to your kids.


Third, I've heard about some of the racism in Hawaii before, here's a bit more of a rundown on it.


And now, I'm to get a shower and ignore the magic box for a while.

Oh, it's just wonderful out there

Biden is still claiming the cost of gas is all because of Putin, and printing trillions of dollars had no effect.  And we have another fake hate crime.

That asshat Kaepernick has a sad.  And earned every bit of it.


Amazon closed its downtown Seattle office, because crime.  Other businesses, too.  At least some local media won't talk about it, and the Mayor's office wants to pretend it's doing something.  Still.


Hm.  So calling Manchin a traitor and a bunch of other nasty things didn't make him fall into line; who could've imagined that?


"They're only covering gas prices to hurt Biden."  Apparently not because it's, oh, what's that word?  Oh yeah, 'news'.


Smallest Minority has a nice map that shows the changes in concealed carry laws.  It's been a big change.


Lot of them do seem to believe it.  And the rest, quietly, are trying to pretend they weren't part of it.

Somebody really did offer Mahar the pills, and he chose the right one.  I'm going to borrow this quote:
“In America, we’re supposed to root for democratic government, not apologize for it,” Maher said. “But the NBA has a television deal with China worth a billion-and-a-half dollars. So, LeBron James said Morey needed to be ‘educated on the situation,’ the situation being, ‘I’ve got some shoes to sell.’”

“‘Kowtow’ is a Chinese word, but boy, Americans have gotten good at it,” Maher said, noting that companies gain access to Chinese markets only if they don’t upset the Chinese Communist Party. “That’s the deal China offers American companies and celebrities: We’ll give you access to our billion-plus consumers as long as you shut up about the whole police-state-genocide thing. John Cena took that deal. Well, c’mon. China accounts for 34% of global box office, and he’s a movie star now. So, like the Uyghurs, last year, he learned he needed to get some re-education. You see, John referred to Taiwan as a country, as if it was a separate country from China, which it is. But China would like to do to Taiwan what it did to Tibet and what it’s now doing to Hong Kong.”

“When a country can make your big muscly Macho Man action star grovel in their language, you know you’re somebody’s b****,” Maher said.

This is a good piece on both loss of faith in experts and their version of 'Science!'

Worse still, some in the alliance seem to be enjoying the pandemic a bit too much. When I see the wide toothy smile on the bony-ass Skeletor face of the New Zealand prime minister every time she announces new lockdowns and mandates, I think, “Jesus, that psychopath’s getting a kick out of this shit.”

If you’re gonna torment your populace in the name of science, at least pretend it’s not making you orgasm. I’m thinking of places like Australia where the maskless have been beaten in the streets by cops. I recall a 1994 incident in Honolulu in which a circus elephant killed its trainer and went on a rampage through the city. As local animal control didn’t have proper elephant tranquilizers and local police didn’t have proper elephant guns, the cops were forced to use their service weapons on the beast, and it was a slow, painful death.

What’s always stayed with me is the footage of the cops after the animal died. They were gutted. Some were weeping. None of them wanted to do what they did.

It’s easy to tell when people, even trained professionals, are unhappy with an assigned task. I’ve yet to see any expression similar to the Honolulu cops on the faces of the Aussie skullcrackers.

Again, can’t you just act like you’re not enjoying this?

But perhaps the biggest giveaway is that not once since the pandemic began have leftist politicians sacrificed ideology for “safety.” Imagine the effect on public behavior had the Biden administration refused to flood the nation with untested, unvaxxed illegals. That would’ve sent a clear message that the Covid crisis is of such importance that Democrats were willing to sacrifice their most beloved policy in the name of controlling the bug. But no. Instead they bragged about letting in unvaxxed and untested Third Worlders.

Or that group of “scientists and doctors” last year who released a public letter stating that BLM protests were more important than Covid precautions. Few things sowed Covid skepticism on the right as much as that. To a great extent, Covid bad-faith skepticism is on the heads of the people who signed that letter.
While back one of the doctors involved in that was asked about it, and she admitted she was really troubled by it, 'but the Cause!'  She let "I want to be seen as one of the Good People get in the way of good sense and intelligence.  And now, I hope, she's looking at the damage she's done to public health and trust in doctors and cringing.*

*I know, I doubt she will, it would damage her self-image too badly

Disney added to the 'Why we're a shitty company' by firing Carano

because she offended some whiny leftist bitches.  She's saying "Screw you".  This is good.

Over at Madame Hoyt's place, from William Lehman, first on unions:

My dad was a teamster during the great Teamster strike of the early 70s. His team got along great with management, where happy with their pay and working conditions, and didn’t want to strike. But some big guys came down from Detroit in a couple Caddies, looked around and said “Dwayne, The union is all going on strike, youse gotta go on strike too.”

“But we don’t have anything we want to strike FOR.”

“Do it for youse families.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“How would youse feed your families if this place was to burn to the ground? If you was to be kicked out of da union, and your little boy was to get hurt bad, how would you pay medical expenses? Oh and youse guys gotta actually walk the picket line or youse don’t get your strike pay”

Then the goons in the caddies drove back to Detroit, and dad and the rest walked the picket lines. People who wildcatted that strike where hurt or killed… I remember one guy was hauling dynamite for the coal mines in KY. The sniper that shot his truck hit the load… It cratered the road.

Dad died in harness about 20 years ago. Mom got the princely sum of 28 bucks a month as survivor benefits until she remarried. Tell me why I should support the union?

And to the frothing "We want a revolution!" leftists:
Finally, I’m viewed by those aforementioned liberals as a rabid frothing at the mouth conservative. Well, I’m starting to feel like Marten L. King jr. on that. Because I hate to break it to the folks from both coasts, and the really big cities in between, (Denver, Austin, I’m looking at you here) but you folks really want to talk to me, because you DON’T want to talk to Malcom X.
I've met some Malcolm X types, and he's right: they really DON'T want to have to deal with them.

Snowflakes, whiny bitch snowflakes everywhere

According to The Brandeis Hoot, “Buyer Beware” “deals with the modern atmosphere of college protest movements” and its plot revolves around a white Brandeis student named Ron who plans to perform a stand-up routine on campus “in the style of Lenny Bruce.” Bruce was a famous 20th-century comedian and satirist known for his provocative style and use of obscenities.
Ok.  So?
The private university announced recently that it had cancelled plans to present the play “Buyer Beware” on its campus after students and alumni complained the production “seeks to vilify” black voices and issued concerns because its script includes a white protagonist who uses the n-word as part of a comedy routine.

Complaints over its content have pushed the play off campus, with an alumnus calling the play “overtly racist” and an outspoken student saying it elevated “the already privileged voice of a white man on the matter of Black Lives Matter protests.”
"How dare you have a play we don't approve of!", etc.
