Why Did Media and Democrats Abandon Their Investigation Into Brett Kavanaugh?

31st October 2018

Read it.

If it was important to investigate the claims because Kavanaugh was up for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, it remains just as important to investigate it now that he’s been confirmed. This would be true even if impeachment were not an option if the allegations were ever substantiated. That impeachment is an option makes the October silence even weirder. Why did media outlets go from hourly updates on this story to dropping it like it’s hot?

Guess it wasn’t working for them.

Why Do We Know Almost Nothing About Pittsburgh Gunman Robert Bowers?

30th October 2018

The Other McCain is not afraid to ask the obvious question.

Maybe the Media are so busy figuring out some way to pin it on Trump that they haven’t any bandwidth left over for actually reporting.

The blankness of Robert Bowers should disturb us. Evidently, any random loner — the quiet, nondescript high-school dropout with no friends or family — could log onto the Internet, find some kind of hate that appeals to him, and become a mass murderer. And in all the world of journalism, nobody except some reporters for the local newspaper will expend any effort to figure out what went wrong in this guy’s life. Why? Because they can explain it all with one word: Trump.

That’s the answer, you see. There is no need to examine Robert Bowers’ biographical background in search of an explanation, because the reasons are ready-made: Trump, and “hate” sites on the Internet.

Tom Steyer Accuses Republican House Leader Of Anti-Semitism

28th October 2018

Billionaire Tom Steyer accused House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of “straight up” anti-Semitism for a now-deleted tweet about Democratic mega-donors.

“In terms of interpreting what [McCarthy] said, that seems to me like a straight up anti-Semitic move. I think that is a classic attempt to separate Americans. I think that absolutely falls in the category of what I’m describing as political violence,” Steyer stated Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Sounds to me like he’s got a sensitivity problem. He needs to dial it back a bit.

‘Midterms 2018: Win or Lose, Beto O’Rourke Has Ushered In a Progressive Era for Texas Politics’

28th October 2018

Read it.

Well, not exactly. I’m sure the Voices of the Crust who generated this article would wish it were so, but it isn’t.

Nothing is more perennial than proglodyte dreaming about turning Texas into a Blue state. It ain’t gonna happen.

Americans embarking on nationwide journeys to support progressive candidates in battleground states wouldn’t likely stop in Texas during any other campaign season — but something is clearly happening across the Lone Star state in 2018.

Yeah, Voices of the Crust are using biased polls to get their hopes up. They think that if they say it enough times it will come true. Which is why they depend on ‘blue wave tour’ activists for their ‘facts’:

“We’re travelling from here to Georgia to support Stacey Abrams, and then we’re going to Florida to support Andrew Gillum,” Mr Pierce says. “I really think Texas is on its way … This is the start of their story. The next generations are going to build from here, and maybe that’s the most inspiring part of all of this.”

Uh, no.

Mr O’Rourke is within five points of Mr Cruz’s lead in the reliably red state, according to the latest polls, reflecting a surge of energy surrounding progressives across the country, including in regions typically believed to be Republican strongholds.

Such polls typically oversample Democrats, which is why they all predicted a landslide for Hillary that Didn’t Happen.

Along the campaign trail, Mr O’Rourke has sought to set himself apart from the national Democratic Party by avoiding discussion of political affiliations and attempting to focus on the issues that matter most for local voters, from immigration to healthcare.

Uh, no. He has tied himself to the national Democrat fetish of Identity Politics by ‘identifying’ as Hispanic (hence the ‘Bet0’), and in general follows the socialist line concerning Free Stuff for everybody. Still, all this handwaving doesn’t escape the core fact that he is, indeed, Just Another Democrat:

At the same time, he hasn’t shied away from defending the progressive stances he’s taken on issues generally considered too taboo to discuss in Texas politics, from abortions to impeaching Donald Trump.

The ‘issues that matter most for local voters’, outside of the urban blue pustules, are taxes and jobs. Trump has those nailed, and Cruz is right behind him.

Meanwhile, Mr O’Rourke has broken national fundraising records in the latest three-month period, vowing to spend the whopping $38m entirely on his own race, rather than sharing some of the cash flow with other Democrats in the region.

Most of which has come from out-of-state, underlining that fact that, popular Media mythology aside, the Democrats are the Party of the Rich.

You will note the lack of mention of the Invasion Caravan approaching the southern border, which has increasingly focused Republican attention and has energized Republican turnout for what is normally a snooze-fest election.

UPDATE: Mural depicting Beto O’Rourke as a superhero is vandalised days after being unveiled

‘El Paso gentrifier supports Israel’ among slogans spray-painted on Austin artwork

Guess Beto isn’t the liberal dreamboat that everybody says he is.

19th October 2018

Read it.

Good luck with that.

Sorry, girl, it didn’t work for daddy and it ain’t gonna work for you.

Trump has a simple rule: If you don’t attack him, he won’t attack you. The Press hasn’t figured that out yet.

A Representative NYT Op-Ed of the Current Year: Gradually, I began to hate the English

18th October 2018

Steve Sailer looks at a typical member of the Party of Hate.

This is a hilariously representative Current Year op-ed in which a woman writer explains why she hates some demographic group that it is okay to hate these days due to the Theory of Intersectionality. It starts with some Twitter/Youtube inanity, the Decapitated Pigeon Incident, and goes on from there in the now predictable paths.

OMG THE SKY IS FALLING! Women and minorities hardest hit etc. etc.

NYT: “Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed)”

17th October 2018

Steve Sailer examines the latest Crustian panic.

Apparently, people are actual genetic evidence and thinking that it means what it says rather than supporting the Narrative.

The End of Maple Syrup, Coffee and Beer? Scientists Are Using Our Favorite Luxuries To Hype Global Warming

17th October 2018

Read it.

You know, as they do.

When things get scarce, the price goes up. When the price goes up, I’ll believe that they are getting scarce.

Scientists waving their arms about things that might get scarce don’t impress me, seeing as how they’ve done that for the last fifty years. Every time you see one of these Cries Of Alarm, a careful reading reveals, like smallpox sores, the weasel-words ‘might’, ‘could’, and ‘projected’.

Don’t fall for the ‘our models predict’ scam unless their models have actually predicted something that actually happened.
