Cleopatra Should Be Played by a Black Actor – But Not Just Because It Might Be More Historically Accurate

15th January 2019

Read it.

The ignorance of those who write for newspapers never ceases to amaze me. Cleopatra was a Ptolemy, descended from Alexander’s general who got Egypt in the carve-up after ol’ Alex died; they were Macedonians, and quickly followed the Pharaonic custom of marrying their siblings, so there is no possible way that Cleopatra was ‘black’, i.e. sub-Saharan African. Judging from her name and picture Biba Kang is Asian so perhaps can’t be expected to know any better, but presumably this piece passed through the hands of editors at least one of whom presumably attended University and so ought to have intervened. But perhaps accuracy isn’t that important any more in ‘journalism’.

Now We Know How Much the Tax Bill Really Cost

13th January 2019

Read it.

‘Cost’, of course, assumes that the money you make belongs to the government, which then graciously allows you to keep part of it. From that perspective, then, a tax cut is a ‘cost’ to the government.

Of course, when YOUR ‘costs’ exceed your income, you have to either find new income or reduce your spending. The  government never reduces spending — perish the thought! — so it has to find new sources of income. Since the only sources of income available to the government are the monies it takes from YOU, well….

Report: FBI Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Working for the Russians

12th January 2019

Paul Mirengoff at Powreline unpacks the news.

The New York Times reports that “in the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.” The Times cites “former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.” They say the FBI investigation ended when Robert Mueller was appointed. If this specific charge remained under investigation, Mueller did the investigating.

If it’s true that the FBI undertook the investigation described by the Times, this tells us plenty about the FBI. It tells us nothing about Trump.

Whenever any of the DemLegHump Media say ‘according to anonymous sources familiar with the matter’, they’re just making it up.

A CNN spokesperson pushed back on KUSI’s claim on Friday, calling it a “non story” since the network ultimately didn’t book any reporters from stations in the San Diego area.

It’s all about the Narrative, Larry.

Washington Post Columnist: The Networks Need To De-Platform Trump  Good luck with that. He’s the only one shoring up their business model. They would soon find that they need him more than he needs them.

Ace of Spades comments:

For some time, the conservative movement has been divided between liberals who don’t really mind liberal rule because they like liberals because they are liberals, and actual conservatives, who feared, correctly, that the left was as serious as Hitler when it has repeatedly told us exactly what it intended to do, which is to punish and suppress any speech they think is “wrong.” They have repeatedly told us that all issues are now “beyond discussion,” and they have repeatedly proposed methods of punishing/criminalizing those who engage in such wrongthink.

Many of us said that there could be no compromise with this. Liberal Bill Kristol doesn’t need to fear the liberal censorship state, because he’s a fellow liberal and is useful for fighting their current political fight, but anyone who is actually opposed to leftwing hegemony and speech criminalization does need to fear them– as they fear us.

Well, we’re now at the point where the left has agreed (funny how they’re always so swift to agree about revolutionary proposals in such a short window of debate, almost as if they have been deciding these things behind closed doors before introducing to the public) that even The President can no longer be permitted to offer his unfiltered arguments to the public.

Media’s Anti-White Bias Makes Houston Drive-By Shooting National News

7th January 2019

The Other McCain spreads some truth.

When 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes was killed in a drive-by shooting in Houston Dec. 30, the story “captured nationwide attention,” because Jazmine’s family claimed that the shooter was a white man:

The teen and her mother described the suspect as a white man with blue eyes, a thin build and no beard. They say he “looked sick” with sunken cheekbones and a pale face with a “five o’clock shadow.” He was wearing a black hoodie.

CNN jumped on the story — RAAAAACISM! — and the usual crew of #BlackLivesMatter hate-hustlers leaped into action, raising money and sending out incendiary tweets. Unfortunately for the purveyors of this narrative, it was false. The white man in the red truck that Jazmine’s family had seen wasn’t the shooter, but an innocent guy who was himself caught in the line of fire. The actual perpetrators were driving a KIA.

And black. So the story has suddenly disappeared from the national news.

A Cool Kid Communist Comeback

In part, the new Communist chic reflects the rise in the popularity of socialism. A Gallup poll earlier this year found that, among Democrats, Democratic-leaning independents—and, perhaps most significant, among all American adults under 30—socialism is now viewed more positively than capitalism. To some extent, this is a consequence of capitalism’s falling stock: more than half of respondents in both groups have reported a positive view of socialism since 2010, while approval of capitalism has dropped by more than 10 percentage points in two years. Most Americans who profess to like socialism associate it with Western European welfare states; still, even Communism is viewed favorably by more than one in four young adults. Meanwhile, Democratic Socialists such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are shaking up the Democratic Party. And hip new intellectuals and pundits with a soft spot for Communism are everywhere.

‘Stop Chinese Biotech-Research Anarchy’

31st December 2018

Read it.

I’m curious as to how this writer expects that to happen, since all he has to recommend is the Same Old Shit that people have been ignoring since the U.N. was founded. Wesley Smith used to be a ‘conservative’ but apparently that gig didn’t pay enough. I guess National Review has dropped the mask and gone full Chicken-Little statist.
