Joe Lieberman, Al Gore's vice presidential running mate and nearly a Republican vice-presidential candidate thanks to "maverick" adulterer and traitor John McCain, has died at age 82.

"Former United States Senator Joseph I. Lieberman died this afternoon, March 27, 2024, in New York City due to complications from a fall," his family said in a statement. "He was 82 years old. His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed."

So he died due to lingering injuries from a fall at age 82.

Biden is 81 and frequently falls or stumbles. And he just got brand new stability loungers.

Hm.

I wonder how long ago Lieberman fell. I wonder if his fall prompted them to put the Gum-Soled Boat Anchors on Rickety Joe.


A Church of England archdeacon has called for "smashing the patriarchy" and a campaign for "anti-whiteness."

Good to see they're really taking religion seriously in the CoE and that it's not just an employer of last resort for the talentless mentally-ill children of the upper middle class.

Guess what this archdeacon looks like? It's an AWFL, of course.

Illegal aliens may start taking the place of special needs US citizens in NYC schools.

A massive influx of illegal immigrant children in Manhattan schools may push a school for children with disabilities and special needs out of an academic building and into an "inadequate" site, according to a report from the New York Post. Advertisement

The school, West Prep Academy, reportedly serves 170 students, which mainly include children with special needs. West Prep is being overrun by the enrollment at PS 145, which shares the same schoolhouse.

PS 145 has enrolled lots of illegal immigrant children, reportedly "flooding" the system. Reportedly, more than 30,000 migrant children have been sent to public schools in New York City in recent years.

"We're at a point where now parents are not feeling heard," one academy parent told The Post. "I see all of these parents expressing these real concerns for why this is not going to work for their kids.

NBC executives are afraid that declaring themselves to be a no-Republicans-allowed zone will cause Republicans to boycott them.

Mollie Hemingway has doubts:

Mollie @MZHemingway

The Russia collusion lie, the Kavanaugh smear, the J6 hysteria, Biden sycophancy, rabid anti-GOP treatment on every issue were all fine but firing the single Republican on an otherwise all-Democrat staff after 48 hours of meltdown is too much? OK.


The GOP is hopelessly three-generations-ago. They are not just traditionalist in terms of morality and politics, but traditionalists in habit: We've always gone on NBC to get ripped by Chuck Todd before, so obviously we must continue honoring this masochistic tradition forever!

But anyway, Semafor says they wonder if Republicans will finally give NBC the finger.

NBC braces for the backlash to the backlash after hiring and firing top Republican Hannah McKay

NBC News's dramatic hiring and firing of a former RNC chairwoman this week threatens to undo years of repositioning itself as friendly to Republican officials and viewers.

[W]hile the abrupt reversal was cheered by some MSNBC staff, other NBC News journalists said they believe the move will only continue to strengthen complaints by Republicans that the network doesn't want to hear their perspectives.
AD

Now, NBC staffers are bracing for Republican backlash, fielding texts from angry GOP sources.

"Political reporters here didn't take part in the backlash, nor did they get to give input on the hire," one NBC News journalist said. "But they'll be the ones who have to pick up the pieces with sources who are now dismayed with the organization."

Four NBC News staffers expressed concern that instead of fixing the problem, hiring and then firing McDaniel had only alienated liberal viewers while confirming Republican fears. Two Republican aides told Semafor they'd texted their NBC News contacts to express their anger with the decision.


The conflict over McDaniel threatens to reverse some of the gains that top network figures believed that it had made to establish some credibility with members of the Republican Party.

...

NBC did catch one break. McDaniel's lack of popularity among top members of her own party may not make her a true martyr among Republicans. Her former institution, the Republican National Committee declined to comment on her firing, and Trump himself posted a mocking tweet directed both at McDaniel and "weak" NBC. Said one senior Republican aide: "No one really cares about Ronna."

DougP at Twitchy catches some bloviating which no one believes:



Ari Fleischer
@AriFleischer

NBC should never get to host a GOP primary debate or townhall. GOP Senators/Congressmen should not go on Meet the Press. No NBC anchor should participate in a presidential debate.

What NBC is saying is if you're for Trump, you don't belong. Good. Let NBC be for Democrats only.


NBC was a prime conspirator in the plot to frame the president of the United States as a traitor under orders from Putin, and Republicans never thought before to boycott them.

But fire one establishment liberal grifter, and hoo boy, it's on now!


So NBC can't hire a partisan spokeswoman who once bent the truth?

Ted Cruz @tedcruz

Chuck Todd was a Dem staffer.

Tim Russert was a Dem staffer.

George Stephanoupolos was a senior Dem WH staffer.

Jen Psaki was a senior Dem WH staffer.

But, NBC hired a Republican??!!?!

It's the end of the world.

Brain scans prove that dogs understand some words:

It's well-known that dogs can learn words for spoken commands like "sit," "stand" and "heel."

But a new study has found they also can tell their "ball-ball" from their "dolly," "teddy," "chewy" or "squeaky squeak."

Brain scans reveal that dogs generally know that certain words stand for certain objects, researchers reported Friday in the journal Current Biology.

Words "activate a memory of an object when they hear its name," researcher Marianna Boros of Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, said in a news release.

For the study, researchers hooked 18 dogs up to an EEG, to see how deep each canine's understanding of language runs.

The dogs' owners would say words for toys that their dogs knew and then present objects to them -- sometimes the matching toy, sometimes another object.

For example, an owner would say, "Zara, look, the ball," and then show them a ball.

Brain recording results showed that patterns differed when dogs were offered a matching object versus a mismatched one, in ways similar to what is seen in humans. This is solid evidence that they understand the words, researchers said.

Fani Willis says she is the face of feminism.

I would say: The Resting Bitch Face of Feminism, sure.

She says that there's been an outpouring of support from sexually-frigid Affluent White Female Liberals who resent their husbands for providing them with a comfortable, indolent life:

"I told Jeff one day, I didn't think I was the face of the feminist movement, but somehow I became it. And I think that women feel like women are treated differently when they're professionals and they're proud to see someone that is strong and trying to do the right job," she said.

Woman who used taxpayer funds to pay her gigolo says that men are never harassed over their own sexual peccadilloes.

Does that sound stupid to you? #MeToo.

Illinois Parole Board Lets Criminal Out of Prison Despite His Menacing a Mother With a Child; The Day After He's Set Free, He Attacks the Mother and Kills the Child

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The 11-year-old boy was trying to protect his mom from this dangerous criminal, so the murderer stabbed him to death.

An 11-year-old Chicago boy died Wednesday as he tried to protect his pregnant mother from her knife-wielding ex-boyfriend who was released from prison a day earlier.

Crosetti Brand, 37, is accused of stabbing the boy in the chest and the 33-year-old woman before he was arrested for the heinous killing of Jayden Perkins, according to the Chicago Police Department.

Brand had been paroled Tuesday from the Stateville Correctional Center, where he was serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault.


He forced his way into his ex-girlfriend's home in Edgewater, Ill. and "brutally attacked" the family, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a Friday press conference.

The 33-year-old mother of two was leaving with her children to take them to school at around 8 a.m. when Brand attacked.

The 11-year-old boy stepped in to shield his mother, who was stabbed in the doorway of their home, from the deranged criminal.

Snelling also noted that the woman's "5-year-old son was also present and witnessed the attack."

The mother and son were rushed to the hospital after officers arrived on the scene to find them both stabbed "multiple times."

Here is -- was -- Jayden Perkins, the brave boy who died protecting his mother. Here is the next victim of The Democrat Party Murder Cult:

jeromerip.jpg

Two members of the parole board have now resigned.

But the murdered child has not been resurrected.

Illinois parole board resigns following release of child's killer


Quick Hit:

The chair and a member of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board have resigned following the murder of 11-year-old Jayden Perkins by a recently paroled convict. The resignations come amid public outrage over the board's decision to release the perpetrator, Crosetti Brand, who committed the crime less than 24 hours after his release.

Key Details:

Board chair Donald Shelton and board member LeAnn Miller resigned on Monday following the murder of Jayden Perkins.

Crosetti Brand, the parolee, allegedly ambushed and killed Jayden and attacked his mother, Laterria Smith, less than a day after his release.

Despite Laterria Smith's request for a protection order against Brand, the board approved his parole, leading to the tragic incident.

Diving Deeper:

The incident has sparked widespread outrage, particularly as Smith had sought a protection order against Brand just a month prior to the incident. Brand, who was serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault, was granted parole on March 12th. The attack on Smith and her son occurred just hours before a scheduled hearing about the protection order.

Both the Illinois Department of Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board claimed they were unaware of the protection order hearing. However, emails obtained by CBS 2 indicated that the Department of Corrections had knowledge of the hearing as early as February 22nd.

Update: Jayden at his dance school.

The Democrat Party wants to fucking kill you. It's the party of murderers, thieves, groomers and pedophiles.

For more evidence of this: Minnesota's terrorist-sympathizing, antifa-supporting AG, Keith Ellison, says that we have to prosecute the real criminals responsible for vehicle theft.

No, not the carjackers and thieves themselves. They're Democrat voters, or rather, they will be Democrat voters when Democrat ballot harvesters request ballots in their names and vote for them.


No, the real criminals are auto manufacturers who have made their cars just "too tempting" to steal and an "attractive nuisance" hypnotizing young Democrat Scholars into stealing them.

He rejects the idea of prosecuting the "downstream" criminals -- that is, the actual criminals.

He says we have to go "upstream" to the root causes of the crime. By which he means car makers making their cars too sweet to resist stealing.

"But we have to go upstream, and we got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people. Right now we are investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too easy to steal for young people," he claimed.

They're not "dramatically too easy" to steal. However, all vehicles, being expensive property which is, by design, self-propelled expensive property," are relatively easy to steal. Cars must have windows, and windows are easily broken. All locks are easily defeatable.

Cars are valuable property which supply their own getaway vehicle.

This is by design.

Traditionally people don't steal cars because of the threat of prison, but the Democrat Party has eliminated that as a possible consequence.

So now car makers must remove windows from cars, I guess.

How will drivers see?

That's on them. That's not Keith Ellison's area of expertise.

He's an expert in Being an Aggrieved Minority, and that's all the expertise any expert needs.


"We have to go upstream on crime and not just say we are going to only deal with the criminals, the people on the street. There are a lot of people involved in the chain of criminality, starting sometimes for people who are members of the country club, resulting in tragic circumstances for victims on the street," he continued.

Fuck you, filthy criminal scumbag and traitor.

In Boston, Priests of the Cult of Woke Demand That "White Churches" Pay Them $15 Billion in Reparations

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Reparations for what?

From Fox News:

Boston activists seeking $15B in reparations, call on 'White churches' to commit to extending wealth

The Boston Task Force on Reparations called on "White churches" to step up and pay the Black community back for racial inequities that root back to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, according to reports.

The Boston Globe reported that Black and White clergy members met in Roxbury for a press conference intended to be held outside, though it was instead held in the basement of the Resurrection Lutheran Church on Saturday because of rain.

The commission was established through a 2022 Boston City Council ordinance and made up of 10 members, including two from the youth community.

In February, the Boston activists called for the city to "fully commit to writing checks" and for a $15 billion payout since the city's wealth was built on slavery.

Boston was built on slavery?

Who wants to tell them?

Disney Throws In the Towel; Agrees That Reedy Creek Is No Longer Their Private Corporate Feifdom

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The leftwing media has been misinforming its diminishing number of readers for a year two years now, claiming that Disney's legal case to compel a state government to grant it at special, unique benefit no other company is granted, was a strong one.

See, Disney has a First Amendment right to control its own county!

The propaganda media has insisted for a year that The Walls Are Closing In For DeathSantis.

Via Ed Morrissey: the enemy-of-the-people media will now to explain how they got this so wrong, and explain why Disney, who had such an immensely strong legal case, just agreed to drop its claims of a perpetual corporate right to the Reedy Creek area.

Actually, I lied: The media is claiming that this is a draw and Disney got a "settlement."

AP:

Allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Disney reached a settlement agreement Wednesday in a lawsuit over who controls Walt Disney World's governing district.

In a meeting, the members of the board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District approved the settlement agreement, ending almost two years of litigation that was sparked by DeSantis' takeover of the district from Disney supporters following the company's opposition to Florida's so-called "Don't Say Gay" law.

Morrissey points out that this "settlement" consists of Disney dropping its claims to own the Reedy Creek Improvement District, in exchange for the new body controlling that area not continuing to sue Disney over its illegal actions to keep its filthy claws on the property.

The Tampa Free Press describes this settlement more accurately.

Remember, before the Reedy Creek Improvement District was dissolved, the corrupt Disney pawns controlling it quickly passed "rules" declaring that Disney owned the area forever and ever and no act of the state could ever, ever disturb this perpetual ownership.

Disney now admits that those new "rules" were bullshit.

Florida's Voice @FLVoiceNews

#BREAKING: DeSantis defeats Disney in court again, lawsuits to be dropped under settlement

The last-minute, far-reaching agreements that gave Disney broad power over their previous self-governing district are declared "null and void" under the agreement

Disney has withdrawn its lawsuits against the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and acknowledges that the development agreement made at the last minute is invalid and unenforceable. ...

"As usual, the media were wrong," said Florida Governor DeSantis' Communications Director Bryan Griffin Wednesday.

"Today's settlement also includes acknowledgement from Disney that the last-minute Development Agreement is "null and void... hav[ing] no legal effect or enforceability" and stipulates the same to other similar restrictive covenants and comprehensive plan amendments made prior to CFTOD," said Griffin.

In exchange, the current government of the region agrees that it won't continue suing Disney for its corrupt skulduggery.

AP thinks this is a win for Disney.

Bob Iger is spinning his allies in the media, because the proxy vote which may seal his fate is being held on April 3. He needs his allies and shills to continue painting him as the ultimate winner, even after he takes legal loss upon financial disaster.

Illegitimate Tyrant Biden Is Considering Granting Amnesty and Handing Out Green Cards to Illegal Aliens, On No Authority Except The Power He Has Usurped

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Democracy's on the ballot, guys.

January 6th.

It was a bloodbath or something.

President Joe Biden is currently considering granting amnesty to illegal migrants in a bid to act on the worsening immigration crisis, according to Politico.

Biden and his administration are weighing several ideas to take a tougher stance on the southern border crisis and illegal immigration amid criticisms he has thus far failed to act on either. The administration could start dolling out green cards to illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the United States, thereby giving them amnesty to stay in the country, three people familiar with the planning told Politico.

Everytime Biden or Democrats talk about "fixing the border," they immediately talk about simply making it legal to illegally cross the border.

There. It's fixed. They're not illegals anymore.

And they act as if they have responded to our demands in good faith, and offered us a real solution which we are just rejecting out of partisan spite.

And frankly, the Liberal Corporate Wing of the GOP does the same thing. We say "seal the border, build the wall," and they say, "I couldn't quite make that out, but it sounds like you want to double the number of HB-1 visas...?"


...


It would represent a larger effort by Biden to take action on behalf of illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the U.S., the three officials told Politico. The Obama administration took similar action in 2012 with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which delayed the deportation of illegal migrants who came to the U.S. when they were minors.

Meanwhile, NY governess Kathy Hochul authorizes spending $2.4 billion in taxpayer money for "migrant care."

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed a $2.4 billion budget for migrant care, alongside plans to stimulate residential development in the state. This comes amidst the ongoing migrant crisis and the state's high rent and home prices.

Key Details:

Hochul's proposed budget includes an additional $2.4 billion for migrant care, on top of the $1.9 billion spent in 2023.
A significant portion of this budget is allocated for New York City, where Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have agreed to spend $1.1 billion for illegal border crossers.
Hochul also plans to encourage more residential construction, in response to the state's high rent and home prices.

Biden's open border has taken the life of another US citizen. A criminal illegal alien was deported under Trump, but he snuck back into the country, taking advantage of Biden's "Welcome" policy.

And then he murdered a woman.

He's what you call an Category 5 Cultural Enricher.

A previously deported illegal alien is now accused of murdering 25-year-old Ruby Garcia in Kent County, Michigan.

Brandon Ortiz-Vite, a 25-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, has been arrested and charged with felony murder, open murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony possession of a firearm in connection to the shooting death of Ruby Garcia.

According to police in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a Kent County Sheriff's Department Lieutenant found Garcia dead on March 22 with multiple gunshot wounds on the side of U.S. Highway 131.

On March 24, Ortiz-Vite was taken into custody by police. At the time of his arrest, he had a firearm in his possession and allegedly admitted to shooting Garcia with the firearm, which he said he had purchased illegally.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials confirmed that Ortiz-Vite is an illegal alien who was previously deported to Mexico from the United States in 2020.

Wednesday Morning Rant

—Joe Mannix

mannixape2.jpg

Priorities

Imagine that you are a leader in one of America's large cities, and - in a surprise to nobody, because it's the norm - that city is a hellhole and getting worse. What would you work on? Facing the monumental task of managing a major city that appears to be stuck in an inescapable spiral of decline, what would you do? Would you try to tackle one or more major problems or try to improve quality of life for the residents?

Well, we know the answer in at least one case: no, of course not. The city in question is my former home town of Denver, Colorado. Denver, like all major cities and especially wholly-owned Party cities, is not exactly doing well. It's by no means the worst major city in the country, but it's working manfully to close the gap.

The Morning Report — 3/27/24

—J.J. Sefton

kwaimekwainot.jpg

Good morning, kids. Could there possibly be a more appropriate metaphor for the state of this nation than what happened yesterday morning in Baltimore? And of course, the cherry on the parfait of flaming horse dung – a sack of which evidently was deposited on the doorstep of Jake Sullivan and is being investigated by the FBI as a potential act of terrorism – is vegetable-in-chief Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' comments:

"It’s my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge," he said, "and I expect to — the Congress to support my effort." It seems a bit premature to be talking about rebuilding the bridge and discussing how it will be paid for while people are still missing, but that's Joe Biden for you.

But what gets me is the way he tried to connect himself to the tragedy, by claiming that he took the train over the bridge many, many times. "At about 1:30, a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which I’ve been over many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either on a train or by car," he said. "I’ve been to Baltimore Harbor many times. And the bridge collapsed, sending several people and vehicles into the water — into the river."I

t's a cute story, but the Francis Scott Key Bridge doesn't have any tracks on it — just two lanes for car traffic in each direction. So despite what he claims, Biden never once took the train over that bridge. So the big question is, why would he say that? Biden's commuting habits have long been a part of his political mythology, as he reportedly commuted from his home in Delaware to Washington, D.C. via Amtrak daily during his years in the U.S. Senate. . . Yada, yada, yada. 

In truth, I wouldn't doubt that he probably crossed the bridge more than once in his life, but his desperate need to insert himself into the tragedy caused him to once again embellish his life story with falsehoods.

Joe Biden doesn't merely insert himself into a tragedy because of mere egomania and to assuage deep-seated feelings of inadequacy. Dementia aside, the volume and ferocity of his lashing out at his enemies is in inverse proportion to his accomplishments, scruples and value as a human being. He puts himself in the middle of events both for personal and political gain. Like every other uni-testicular/shrill barren spinster Leftist, despot and tyrant (but I repeat myself) has done since time immemorial.

Huge tip of the hat to the genius who coined the phrase "Munchausen's by Progressivism." It's at the heart of my political philosophy. To wit: every problem, tragedy, and disaster that has befallen the American people is either the fault of or exacerbated by orders of magnitude by Leftists, socialists, progressivism and their main entity, the Democrat Party. Any other discussion about retail politics, candidates, personalities and such is irrelevant. My assertion above is the only factor in weighing who and what to vote for and for sure, against.

Back to the initial gravamen of my discourse vis a vis the bridge, as well as the ideologically-driven incompetence that has seriously rotted out the infrastructure of our society, the nagging suspicion that this couldn't have been merely an accident is gnawing at me. The reason? The FBI is immediately ruling out what happened as deliberate:

Special agent Bill DelBagno of the FBI’s Baltimore field office agreed, saying, “The FBI on very first looking at and assessing this matter from an investigative standpoint, I want to be clear there is no specific or credible information to suggest there are ties to terrorism in this incident.”

“The FBI has been part of this response from the beginning… we will bring whatever resources that the FBI has to bear. We’ve already brought our crisis response, our victim services, and just recently our underwater search evidence recovery teams are on site,” DelBagno added.

“As the investigation goes on we will take it to its logical conclusion along with our partners. To the people of Baltimore, I ask you to be patient as we go through this and as information becomes available to us.”

This is the same FBI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DOJ which in and of itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the anti-American Left and Democrat Party that along with the CIA and the media fabricated the so-called Steele Dossier as proof that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election. That fabricated an "insurrection" narrative of the events of January 6th, 2021 to destroy not only Trump but any average citizen who was in DC that day merely exercising their First Amendment right to protest (our latest episode of the podcast with CBD and legal eagle "Vox Clamantis" is a must-listen on this subject, linked here and in the sidebar). The same FBI that is burying the "investigation" into the pipe bombs at RNC and DNC headquarters that no doubt they likely planted. The same FBI that has failed in preventing at least a dozen terrorist attacks since and of course including 9/11/01 yet is hell bent for leather to declare statistically non-existent "white supremacists" as well as climate change our greatest threat to national security. That actively targets parents at school board meetings and peaceful protesters in front of abortion mills as the real terrorists. And on and on and on.

The more I think about it, the more this thing stinks to high heaven. With a statement like that from this DelBagno flunky, there is no way in hell the FBI and by extension the Junta will ever backtrack. As time goes on, I suspect a cover-up will be in full effect, especially as November looms ever closer:

Steve Bannon noted Tuesday that the official explanation of what happened “doesn’t make sense.” He asked “how the ship turned directly into that [pylon] and the pilot didn’t drop the anchor? Dropping the anchor might’ve ripped the front of the ship apart, but it wouldn’t have taken out the bridge.”

All right, that’s a telling point, but there is no need to rush headlong down the rabbit hole. Maybe the pilot panicked. Maybe he had a terrible lapse in judgment. There is, however, much more. The courageous investigative journalist Lara Logan revealed that according to “multiple intel sources,” the destruction of the bridge was an “‘absolutely brilliant strategic attack’ on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it.”

. . . Logan listed some of the ways in which the collapse of the bridge would hurt the nation, and thus aid our enemies: “Second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material now down for 4-5 years – which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material – fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels – that supply chain now crippled.” She also pointed out that the ship hit one of “two load-bearing pylons on each end” of the bridge; these are “the anchor points,” and Logan said that the attackers “knew that hitting either one one of them would be a fatal wound to the integrity of the bridge.” The attack, she added, was “perfectly targeted.”

. . . General Michael Flynn seemed to agree with Logan that the takedown of the bridge was intentional, or at very least was the result of incompetence in key positions. Flynn said: “This is a BLACK SWAN event. Black swans normally come out of the world of finance (not military). The standard operating procedures for all U.S. ports, harbors, and bays that transit commerce and military activities are supposed to maintain an incredible level of discipline, rigor and awareness for these very type events to not occur (ever!), yet here we are. There are harbor masters for every single one of these transit points in America that are in charge of assuring the safety of navigation…start there.” A black swan event is an unforeseen incident that has massive repercussions. . .

. . . Yes, it has come to this: our government, intelligence and law enforcement officials are so untrustworthy that if they say an incident is not terrorism, it very likely is. The collision of the ship with the Francis Scott Key Bridge could end up being a testimony to the fecklessness and incompetence of local officials and the others involved, which is born of far too much time and money being squandered on Critical Race Theory, gender madness and the like, instead of on training competent personnel. Whether or not the destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge really was a terror attack, it will certainly weaken the nation, and in that it benefits the enemies of the United States.

The estimable Robert Spencer is dead right about that. But his statement introduces a very frightening possibility that cannot be ignored; That those who now control our government, the criminal justice system, the media and who are now the sole arbiters of right and wrong, and really good and evil are themselves the greatest enemy of the United States. Far more than even Islam, the ChiComs and the globalists. Probably because to one extent or another, they share the same goal: the destruction of America and nearly 2,000 years of societal and civilizational advancement from tyranny to individual liberty.

That is what the definition of "American exceptionalism" is. Not a boast of superiority vis a vis ubermenschen, but that our government and society as it was founded and intended was the exception to all others that came before it. One that was based on the notion of putting the individual at the top of the heap and a government that was limited in its scope and power, to guarantee and safeguard the rights and liberties of the individual citizen.

We sure as hell aren't that now. Probably haven't been that way for many years or even decades. And now because of a combination of factors, the illusion "that our flag was still there" has been completely exploded. The actions of the junta against we the people of We The People are undeniable. We are still enough of a threat to them, electoral and judicial shenanigans notwithstanding, by our mere presence that they have no compunction whatsoever in preventing us from even trying to reverse course "by any means necessary."

For those wholly unaware, due to 12 or more years of brainwashing via American academia, "that our flag was still there" is a line from the National Anthem. Not the Black National Anthem but the real one. The one that overpaid pituitary cases, wife-beaters and lowlives like Colin Kaepernick take a knee for. It's based on a poem written by Francis Scott Key, for whom the ruins of the smashed and shattered bridge was named after.

I assume that when, or even if it is ever rebuilt, it will be named "The Beau Biden/Big Guy Helluva Thing." That or whatever anti-American communist, Islamic, transexual pervert du jour they can come up with. And the 10% they can come up with for said Big Guy to make it happen.

I'm betting it'll be the "Allahu Akbar Kill the Yids Bridge to Paradise." No doubt designed by a graduate from the Claudine Gay School of Engineering. Maybe even Ahmed Mohammed, the 9th-grader from Dallas who built a clock for his science project!

Of course, if it actually gets built and not become another California High Speed Rail or Alaskan bridge to nowhere boondoggle, it will explode and collapse on a Jewish holiday, or a future 9/11 anniversary so they can blame the Mossad.

Greetings, Masterful Horde. You can probably guess where this is going from the banner picture. Amblin Entertainment “Masters of the Air” finished its nine-episode run a week and a half ago. If you watched it, you have already formed your opinions. I look forward to the comments. I went to the BBC review for Caryn James’ comments on the series because the Brits were 100% invested in that theater of the war and they typically have different views from our…uh…media.
With dozens of other planes falling from the sky and one of their own engines on fire, a fighter plane's co-pilot thinks it is time to parachute out. The pilot, Major Gale "Buck" Cleven (Austin Butler) grabs him by the arm and yells, "We're going to sit here and take it! You hear me? We're going to sit here and take it!"

Wow. That sounds like a line inserted for dramatic effect, eh? But it’s an actual quote recorded from an airman’s account.
That scene reveals what is gripping and also what is creaky in the much-hyped series produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Masters of the Air is a big old-fashioned war drama, glossed up with dazzling special effects and stocked with some of today's hottest young actors. It is also full of the kind of earnest, clunky dialogue and swaggering heroes familiar from classic war movies going back to the 1940s.

Unemployable, blacklisted forgery-promoting fruitbat Dan Rather says the media cannot sully itself by association with fabricators like Ronna McDaniel!

Dan Rather @DanRather

BREAKING: NBC News plans to drop former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor, per Puck News.

This is a good decision.

If you believe the corporate media must change to save democracy, I'd be honored if you'd subscribe to my newsletter. (Link in my Twitter biography).

If you can afford it, please consider upgrading as well. It allows me to keep critical pieces like this free for all. Thank you.

msnbcissaved.jpg

Andrew Stiles has exactly the same thoughts.

We regret to inform you that America's journalists are in the midst of another temper tantrum. This one is in response to NBC News's decision to hire former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor. The network's own employees are in open revolt, incensed at the prospect of having to share screen time with a Republican who hasn't completely disavowed Donald Trump.
FreeBeacon

NBC chief political analyst Chuck Todd, a former Democratic campaign aide, slammed NBC executives for hiring someone with "credibility issues" and a history of "gaslighting." Democratic scion Mika Brzezinski urged the network to "reconsider its decision." Host Kristen Welker issued a trigger warning over the weekend before airing her interview with McDaniel on Meet the Press. Nicolle Wallace read a passage from a book about tyranny and bemoaned the degradation of "our sacred airwaves."

It wouldn't be the first time so-called mainstream journalists have revealed themselves to be hopelessly out of touch with the average Americans they claim to care about. The partisan tantrum over McDaniel's hiring suggests they are incapable of self-awareness.

Perhaps we can look forward to further discussion of this "scandal" on Inside with Jen Psaki, the MSNBC weekend show hosted by the former press secretary to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Psaki could invite MSNBC contributor Robert Gibbs, another Obama press secretary, to share his thoughts on the matter. In the following segment, MSNBC contributor Ben Rhodes, the former Obama national security adviser who bragged about manipulating "clueless" reporters, could explain why McDaniel's hiring is good for Iran.

Better yet, MSNBC host Joy Reid could deliver an unhinged monologue denouncing the network for endorsing "white supremacy." Reid was promoted in 2020 to fill the time slot vacated by Chris Matthews, the former Democratic aide who argued it was racist to refer to Barack Obama as "Obama." Matthews resigned abruptly after being accused of sexual harassment, whereas Reid did not resign after online sleuths uncovered bigoted posts on her old blog. She blamed it on hackers. (It wasn't hackers.) She got promoted anyway.

Reid could continue the conversation with MSNBC political analyst Al Sharpton, the formerly obese racial agitator who instigated deadly anti-Semitic riots in New York City during the 1990s. Sharpton continues to use his platform on MSNBC to sow racial division. For example, he argued that criticizing Harvard president Claudine Gay, who resigned in disgrace earlier this year amid a flurry of scandals involving serial plagiarism and anti-Semitism on campus, was "an attack on every black woman in this country."

He then moves on to the rest of the "journalists" in the other "news" organizations. Read the article for more like this.

...

These are the people who are mad at NBC News for hiring a Republican. They still can't figure out why most Americans don't trust journalists to tell the truth. They don't deserve to be taken seriously. They are full of shit.

Correct.

Another House Republican -- Mike Gallagher -- has not only announced his resignation but decided to quit early to give the House to the Democrats.

The Republican advantage is down to three, which means we can only lose one vote before Democrats win (assuming they stay united, which they almost always do).

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) is planning to step down from Congress in April, before the end of his term, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter, a move that will narrow Republicans' already razor-thin majority.


Gallagher, who chairs the House of Representatives Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, had already said he would not be running for reelection in November. But his decision to leave Congress early means the seat will be vacant for a time before the next election.

Spokespeople for Gallagher did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Republicans currently hold a 219-213 House majority. Republican representative Ken Buck, however, is due to step down on Friday, narrowing the majority to four seats.

When Gallagher steps down, that will narrow the majority further to 217-213, meaning that Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford to lose one vote in order to pass legislation if Democrats remain united in opposition.

It is becoming impossible not to imagine that these people are not doing this intentionally. Were they all allies of Kevin McCarthy?

In any case, they should all be absolutely banned by clear-eyed Republicans from every serving as an elected or appointed official again. No positions for deserters and traitors.

A leading Democrat candidate for Senate used a racial slur.

And why haven't you heard about this?

Because he's a Democrat.

Six House Democrats are spurning their colleague Rep. David Trone (D., Md.), the frontrunner in Maryland's Democratic Senate primary, after he used a racial slur to attack Republicans during a recent House hearing.

In the days after he used the slur, Trone's opponent in the Democratic primary, Prince George's County executive Angela Alsobrooks, received endorsements from Democratic representatives Barbara Lee (Calif.), Yvette Clarke (N.Y.), Gregory Meeks (N.Y.), Joyce Beatty (Ohio), and Jasmine Crockett (Texas), according to Axios. Lee described Alsobrooks's voice as "sorely missing in the Senate," while Clarke said, "Her vision and integrity make her the best choice to represent Maryland in the Senate."

Alsobrooks on Monday won another endorsement from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.).

The endorsements came just days after Trone publicly used the term "jigaboo," an "insulting and contemptuous term for a black person" that dates back to the early 1900s, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. "So this Republican jigaboo that it's the tax rate that's stopping business investment, it's just completely faulty by people who have never run a business," Trone said while talking to a black federal official during the Thursday House hearing on President Joe Biden's 2025 budget request.

He said he meant to say "bugaboo."

Well that's fine and he probably did intend to say that. But here's the thing: There is such a thing as a Freudian slip. And when you mistakenly say one word instead of another, the word you say is one that is part of your active vocabulary, isn't it? If I have a speak-o I don't say "forsooth" instead of "forget," because "forsooth" is not part of my active vocabulary. These word-substitutions (and misspellings, for writers) occur when the brain is distracted and it just guesses what the more active brain intended. Thus people writing "hear" when they mean "here," or vice versa.

But no one writes "hoar" when they mean hear or here. That's a word you have to actively search your brain for, not part of the constellation of 5000 words that are always tip-of-the-tongue and likely to be used as verbal spackle when you can't find the right word immediately.

So how did this guy blunder into "jigaboo"? I haven't heard that since the Richard Pryor-Chevy Chase word association skip.

When's the last time this Fine Anti-Racist Democrat heard it? Or used it himself?


Why is it so, as the current trendy phrase among Democrat politicos goes, "top of mind" for him?

Supposedly this seat is actually in play, with liberal NeverTrump governor Larry Hogan running for the seat.

Democrats have long known that they face a daunting Senate map in the 2024 elections. While Republicans will have to defend only 10 seats, Democrats will have to protect 23 seats, including a number in battleground or red states. The margin for error is razor thin: Depending on who wins the White House, the GOP only needs to pick up either one or two seats to seize control of the Senate. If Republicans prevail, they could either thwart most of President Joe Biden's second-term agenda, or help Donald Trump unleash chaos upon his return to the presidency.

Recently, Democrats' path to retaining the Senate has become significantly more difficult. Last month, on the last possible day he could register, former Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan unexpectedly entered the race to succeed retiring Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md. Hogan's candidacy immediately turned what would normally be an extremely safe seat for Democrats into a genuine toss-up. And now a new poll shows the wildly popular former governor crushing his most likely Democratic competitors.

But while Hogan is not a MAGA Republican, he's far from a moderate -- and Democrats ought to hammer him for that.

A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll of Maryland registered voters conducted in March finds Hogan leading Rep. David Trone of Maryland 49% to 37%, and leading Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks 50% to 36%. Moreover, 64% of registered voters hold a favorable view of him (including 61% of Democrats in a heavily blue state). Just 33% of voters reported a favorable view of Trone, and 26% held a favorable view of Alsobrooks.

I generally don't support NeverTrumpers or moderates but in Maryland, I sure do. And before you complain -- if we have liberal NeverTrumpers as senators from Texas and Alaska and Iowa -- and we do -- then we can afford one in ultra-Democratic Maryland.

Not everything is about vindicating Trump.

Speaking of vindicating Trump:

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump was facing a "due process violation" in the prosecutions against him.

New York Judge Juan Merchan set an April 15 trial date for Trump on 34 felony charges from an indictment secured by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stemming from a $130,000 payout to porn star Stormy Daniels during Trump's successful 2016 campaign for president. McCarthy said on the "Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show" that the real issue wasn't just one case, but the scheduling of all of them.

"The due process violation is the strategy to throw four trials at him under circumstances where these cases are so complex that in an ordinary defendant's case, you would get over a year to get prepared for trial and they're not only you know lining up four cases, they're making it impossible for him to prepare adequately for any one because of the quantity that they've thrown at him," McCarthy told Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.

...


"I think our tendency is that as we've gone through, because this is the only way you can go through it sensibly, is to go through each case, but I think sometimes we don't realize the cumulative effect of this is unbelievable and it will become unbelievable to people when they realized that in criminal trial, a defendant has to be present in court every day, every moment of the case," McCarthy continued.

...

"You're talking about taking the Republican nominee off the campaign trail and locking him in a courtroom basically for somewhere between three and nine months, depending on you know how efficient they can push these cases through," McCarthy said.

Video at the link.

And the due process violations keep on coming: The defendant is now forbidden to speak publicly about his innocence or the abusive behavior of the Soros prosecutor Alvin Bragg.

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's New York hush money case issued a gag order on Tuesday.

The order bars Trump from making statements about witnesses, prosecutors other than the district attorney, court staff, their families and prospective jurors. Judge Juan Merchan wrote in his order that Trump's "inflammatory extrajudicial statements undoubtedly risk impeding the orderly administration of this Court."

"Although this Court did not issue an order restricting Defendant's speech at the inception of this case, choosing instead to issue an admonition, given the nature and impact of the statements made against this Court and a family member thereof, the District Attorney and an assistant District attorney, the witnesses in this case, as well as the nature and impact of the extrajudicial statements made by Defendant in the D.C. Circuit case (which resulted in the D.C. Circuit issuing an order restricting his speech), and given that the eve 0f trial is upon us, it is without question that the imminency of the risk of harm is now paramount," Merchan wrote.

Biden's dementia was out of control all day:

EcoHealth Alliance -- the Frankenscience Gain-of-Function Virus-Creating Company Who Spawned Covid-19 -- Is Building a Brand-New Bat Virus Lab... Right Here in the Center of the Country

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Peter Daszak isn't fucking around with shady Chinese-army controlled labs in Wuhan any longer.

Now he's building his new Doomsday Laboratory in Colorado. Colorado State University, to be specific.

WCW Exposes Animal Lab Accidents at Home of New NIH-Funded EcoHealth Bat Lab Posted by Amanda Nieves

25 March 2024 | Blog

WCW has uncovered an alarming pattern of recent animal lab accidents at Colorado State University, which is working with the notorious EcoHealth Alliance and the NIH to build a new bat lab and breeding colony.

Never-before-seen records obtained by WCW show that from 2020 to 2023, dozens of animal lab accidents with bats, cats, hamsters, and mice exposed CSU staff to coronaviruses, Zika, rabies, Tuberculosis, and other dangerous pathogens that can cause deadly outbreaks.

Last year, WCW exposed how $12 million of taxpayers' money is being wasted by CSU and EcoHealth to build a new lab and import hundreds of bats from Asia to establish a new breeding colony and infect them with deadly viruses, including Ebola and Nipah

Last year, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) exposed how $12 million of taxpayers' money is being wasted by Colorado State University (CSU) and Wuhan lab partner EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) to build a new lab at CSU and import hundreds of bats from Asia to establish a new breeding colony and infect them with deadly viruses, including COVID, Ebola and Nipah.


Now, through a Colorado Open Records Act request, WCW has obtained never-before-seen documents detailing an alarming pattern of recent animal lab accidents at CSU.

Construction on Colorado State University and EcoHealth's new $12 million NIH-funded bat lab is underway and expected to be completed by December 2024. The photo above was obtained by concerned citizens with the group Covid Bat Research Moratorium of Colorado.

According to internal university records obtained by WCW, from 2020 to 2023, CSU experienced lab accidents with bats, cats, hamsters, and mice that exposed staff to coronaviruses, Zika, rabies, Tuberculosis, and other dangerous pathogens that can cause deadly outbreaks. The internal reports detail a total of 64 CSU lab accidents during this period.

Documents also show that in some cases, CSU animal experimenters ignored biosafety rules, including not wearing gloves or lab coats when handling infected animals.


...

CSU's current bat experiments are receiving millions in taxpayer funding through NIH as well as the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Department of Interior, and the Department of Defense's "Combatting Weapons of Mass Destruction" account.

Right there, there you go, now you know why the entire government was so animated to tell one unbelievable-horseshit propagandistic lie after another about this, and why the Deep State Dickriders of the media all supported lies: This is all cover for the Pentagon breeding bioweapons. They say it's to "cure" them but as we've seen with covid-19 -- to find the cure for the new virus, first they have to invent the new virus.

"We had to infect the village to cure the village." -- the Pentagon, 2021

And of course the Pentagon decided to do this research in the labs controlled by the Chinese Army. Of course.

Via David Strom, who quotes a Daily Mail story.

Defenders of the lab blame the huge number of incidents at the lab on covid -- they said that everyone was working double-time during the pandemic, and that led to Biocatastrophe Oopsies, as they're officially termed.

But the releases of diseases have continued since then, and this lab never bothers warning the pubic:

But documents show that lapses continued to occur through 2023, many of which could have resulted in potentially catastrophic outbreaks.

The university has a student population of nearly 33,000 and the surrounding city, Fort Collins, Colorado, is home to approximately 168,500 people.

In nearly every incident recorded, the public was not notified or made aware of the potential public health risks.

By the way, the lab is importing bats from Asia to collect viruses from, so they can then perform gain-of-function directed mutations and make the viruses infectious to humans.


Last week came more drip-drip-drip evidence that the pandemic and coordinated worldwide shutdowns were a production of the ratf*ck bastards of Unaccountable Lawless Deep State Operatives, Incorporated.

Research points to an unnatural origin as the likely source for COVID-19.

The origin of COVID-19 is highly debated -- most studies have focused on a zoonotic origin, but research from the journal Risk Analysis, examined the likelihood of an unnatural origin (i.e. from a laboratory.)

The results indicate a greater likelihood of an unnatural than natural origin of the virus. The researchers used an established risk analysis tool for differentiating natural and unnatural epidemics, the modified Grunow-Finke assessment tool (mGFT) to study the origin of COVID-19. This risk assessment cannot prove the specific origin of COVID-19 but shows that the possibility of a laboratory origin cannot be easily dismissed.

The modified Grunow-Finke assessment tool (mGFT) is a methodology designed to evaluate the likelihood of whether an epidemic originated from natural or unnatural (e.g., laboratory) sources. This tool is an adaptation of the original Grunow-Finke assessment tool, developed to assess the risk and origin of infectious disease outbreaks more systematically.

The mGFT operates by analyzing specific criteria and evidence related to the outbreak in question. These criteria may include the geographical distribution of the disease, the presence of the pathogen in laboratories, the natural reservoir of the virus, the timing of the outbreak relative to other events, and any unusual patterns in the disease's spread or manifestation.

...

ABSTEACT

...

We used an established risk analysis tool for differentiating natural and unnatural epidemics, the modified Grunow--Finke assessment tool (mGFT) to study the origin of SARS-COV-2. The mGFT scores 11 criteria to provide a likelihood of natural or unnatural origin. Using published literature and publicly available sources of information, we applied the mGFT to the origin of SARS-CoV-2. The mGFT scored 41/60 points (68%), with high inter-rater reliability (100%), indicating a greater likelihood of an unnatural than natural origin of SARS-CoV-2.

DHS Agents Raid Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs' Homes in LA and Miami, Searching for Evidence of "Sex Trafficking"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Since late last year, onetime hiphop megaproducer Sean "Puff Daddy/P-Diddy" combs is being accused of sexual harassment and r*pe. Allegedly, he sexually abused men as well as women.



Recent sex abuse lawsuits against music impresario Sean "Diddy" Combs have damaged his reputation and career. But a new suit from music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones makes new, explosive claims about Combs' alleged assaults and misconduct in granular detail, naming several prominent artists and music executives as well.

Jones, who worked closely with Combs on his recent release "The Love Album: Off the Grid," sued him in federal court in New York on Monday, alleging Combs sexually and physically abused him, engaged in sex trafficking and ran his inner circle as a "RICO enterprise" that functioned like a criminal organization. Jones' suit contains what he says are photos, videos and screenshots corroborating his allegations.

Combs denied the previous claims against him, including those from a former partner, R&B singer Cassie, whose November suit kicked off a wave of complaints against Combs under New York's Adult Survivors Act.

The feds have now raided Combs' LA and Miami homes, searching for, they claim,
evidence of sex trafficking.

This would have meant more to me two years ago, before the DOJ and FBI revealed themselves as worst criminals than the people they pursue.

This raid was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security. Of course they have their own heavily-armed SWAT forces.



Homeland Security agents conducted searches of Holmby Hills and Miami mansions owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs on Monday as part of a federal inquiry into sex trafficking allegations involving the hip-hop and liquor mogul, law enforcement sources said.

The 17,000-square-foot mansion where Combs debuted his last album a year ago was flooded with Homeland Security Investigations agents, who served a search warrant and gathered evidence on behalf of an investigation being run by the prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the inquiry.

Oh! The Southern District of New York! More evidence that this is completely on-the-level.

"Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available," an HSI spokesman said in a statement.


Two of Combs' sons were briefly detained on the Holmby Hills property as agents searched the mansion in footage captured by FOX11 Los Angeles.

...

A hip-hop star turned entrepreneur, Combs has become the focus of sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations in the last year. The raid is the latest and most serious threat to his gilded lifestyle.

Four female plaintiffs have filed civil lawsuits against Combs accusing him of rape, sex trafficking a minor, assault and a litany of other alleged abuses, imperiling his empire and sending shock waves through the music industry.
...

His former girlfriend Casandra Ventura, the singer known as Cassie, accused him of rape and repeated physical assaults, and said he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes in front of him. Joi Dickerson-Neal accused Combs in a suit of drugging and raping her in 1991, recording the attack and then distributing the footage without her consent.

Liza Gardner filed a third suit in which she claimed Combs and Guy singer Aaron Hall sexually assaulted her. Hall could not be reached for comment.

Another lawsuit alleges Combs and former Bad Boy label president Harve Pierre gang-raped and sex-trafficked a 17-year-old girl. Pierre said in a statement the allegations were "disgusting," "false" and a "desperate attempt for financial gain."

RFK Jr. Picks "Radical Leftist" as Running Mate, Ending Chances of Pulling Many Republican Votes

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Though, it must be said, NeverTrump has really embraced radical leftists, so who knows.

Oh wait, he's anti-vax. NeverTrumpers all share the single allowed Liberal White Suburban Housewife Opinion on questions of covid and vaccines. So he was never a possibility.

They'll just all vote for Biden again. You know, Mr. Sensible Conservative.

Speculation can finally end as sources reveal that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has selected Nicole Shanahan, a California attorney, as his vice presidential candidate for his campaign.


In addition to being an attorney, Shanahan, 38, runs a foundation dedicated to left-wing causes like abortion rights, criminal justice reform, and fighting climate change.

Whew! Had he picked a more conservative figure, he might have siphoned off votes from the right.

According to the Wall Street Journal, prior to joining forces with Kennedy, Shanahan had a history of supporting Democratic campaigns, including Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign. Kennedy is expected to formally introduce Shanahan as his running mate during an event scheduled for Tuesday in Oakland, Calif., Shanahan's hometown.
Shanahan, a political novice, was thrust into the spotlight over her public split with [Google co-founder Sergey] Brin amid a brief alleged affair she had with Elon Musk in 2021 that ruptured the billionaires' long friendship, The Wall Street Journal reported. After the article published, Musk denied the allegations and Shanahan later followed suit.

A Journal spokeswoman has said the Journal stands by its reporting.

In addition to donating to Kennedy's campaign, Shanahan told the New York Times she donated $4 million to the Kennedy-aligned super PAC that ran the Super Bowl ad supporting his candidacy. Shanahan not only paid for a significant portion of the controversial ad--which repurposed an ad from when his uncle John F. Kennedy Jr.ran for president and caused controversy with some members of his family--but she was a key force in the ad's production.

Sounds like the most important thing she brings to his campaign is a nice fat wallet.

She has said that she aligns with Kennedy on issues such as vaccine skepticism and the environment. Kennedy is known for his claims--debunked by public-health experts--linking childhood vaccinations to autism and casting doubt on the safety of Covid-19 vaccines. In an interview with the Journal last year Kennedy said he wasn't antivaccine but believed they should go through more rigorous scrutiny. Shanahan used a similar line in her New York Times interview.

Breitbart points out she's a "six figure donor" to pro-crime Soros DA George Gascon.

Further, Shanahan, in that same interview, stated that she believes a mental health professional on scene of the George Floyd's arrest could have possibly changed the outcome of the situation.

San Francisco Magazine put it this way:

Another important area of investment--criminal justice reform--is one that Shanahan has been devoted to for years, long before the Black Lives Matter movement. "I remember telling Sergey's foundation head about five years ago that criminal justice reform was going to be one of the biggest topics of our generation," she says. "I'm happy that I could be a major donor for Measure J in Los Angeles County, which was voted in and will be rerouting some of the law enforcement budget toward mental and social support services." Shanahan notes that having a mental health professional on the scene of George Floyd's arrest would have de-escalated the situation and possibly saved his life.

Conservative and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk also pointed out that Shanahan is a "six-figure donor to... George Gascon, the pro-crime, Soros-backed prosecutor who helped wreck San Francisco and is currently wrecking LA."

Want to hear something weird?

George Gascon became the first prosecutor to not oppose parole for the man who murdered RFK Jr.'s dad, Robert F. Kennedy.

While prosecutors had opposed Sirhan's release in 15 previous parole hearings, Gascón upon taking on his role in December 2020 said his office's "default policy" would be to not attend parole hearings and to instead work to submit letters in support of inmates who have served mandatory minimums and no longer pose a threat to society.

...

"The parole board's sole purpose is to objectively determine whether someone is suitable for release," [Gascon adviser] Bastian said. "If someone is the same person that committed an atrocious crime, that person will correctly not be found suitable for release."

"However, if someone is no longer a threat to public safety after having served more than 50 years in prison, then the parole board may recommend release based on an objective determination," the adviser added.


"The man I gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to wants to let the man who shot your father in the head out of prison."


Awkward!

Wait, maybe it's not awkward at all:

The assassination has gained renewed attention in recent years, especially after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told the Post in 2018 that he visited Sirhan in prison to tell him that he did not believe he killed his father.

Kennedy Jr., who has said he thinks there was a second gunman, noted this week that he supports Sirhan's latest effort to be released on parole.

Were conservatives really pushing this fruitcake as some kind of acceptable candidate?

Lord have mercy. Some "conservatives" have succumbed to full-blown Oppositional Defiant Disorder and their politics is now scarcely more than blind allegiance to anyone claiming to be "anti-establishment."

Ffrequently Asked Questions: What does the double-f in names like "Ffolkes" mean?
Answer: the double-lower-case "ff" was used to indicate a capital "F" in old scripts where there was no capital F at all. But this spelling -- which wasn't really a spelling at all, just an attempt to signal a capital "F" in names -- got mistakenly incorporated into English giving rise to names like "ffoulkes" and "ffrench." HL Mencken says that even though the original spelling would be "ffoulkes," you should go ahead and capitalize the first "F" so it doesn't look completely stupid. "Ffoulkes" looks 10% less stupid than "ffoulkes."

Quick movie review: The Beekeeper is definitely worth the $6 rental. Written by the guy who wrote Equilibrium and featuring the same kind of Unstoppable Force of Nature hero.
Bonus movie review: The Amazon Roadhouse remake is also really good. I'm as surprised to write it as you are to read it. Not sure why they didn't release it into theaters. Disclaimer: I barely remember the first one and have no affection for it so my review is not any kind of comparison at all. I'm not the kind of guy who would object that they "totally changed Dalton's character" or whatever. Though they did change his character.
Candace Owens leaves the Daily Wire, I assume with no love lost
BTW what does "no love lost" mean? Or rather, I know what it means, but why does it mean that? Why doesn't it mean that they love each other -- none of their love has been lost?
Answer: Per dictionary.com, it used to mean that the two parties were in love:
no love lost

Dislike, ill will, hate, as in There's no love lost between Bob and Bill. This term originated in the 1500s and until about 1800 could indicate either extreme love or extreme hate. The former was meant in "No love between these two was lost, each was to the other kind" (Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, 1765). Today, however, the term signifies ill will exclusively.

No word on why the meaning changed.

Maybe they just should have said "her childhood stutter has resurfaced.")
