CNN Washes Out Its Own Role in Outing Hannity’s Legal Chat with Michael Cohen

18th April 2018

Read it.

Greg P. at Twitchy reports the attorney who pressured federal judge Kimba Wood into releasing Sean Hannity’s name is a lawyer for liberal media outlets.

According to reports from inside the courtroom, Judge Wood was ready to allow Michael Cohen to submit the name of his third client — who we now know is Sean Hannity — under seal, but an attorney for five news organizations, including CNN and the New York Times, convinced her otherwise.

When a ‘news media’ organization acts like a player, it deserves to be treated like a player, not like a bystander.

GOP Donor Shifts Money to Dems After Trump Election

16th April 2018

Read it.

“The Republicans in Congress have failed to hold the president accountable and have abandoned their historic beliefs and values,” Seth Klarman, a Boston hedge fund billionaire, told The Boston Globe. “For the good of the country, the Democrats must take back one or both houses of Congress.”

Unexplained: How giving political control of the country to Democrats is going to help implement the ‘historic beliefs and values’ of the Republican Party. That’s a pretty clear clue that his interest is in keeping political power in the hands of the Deep State where policy respects Deep Pockets, rather than allow outsiders like Trump to actually, you know, make America great again.

This guy needs a pie in his face, sooner rather than later.

How to Level the College Playing Field

16th April 2018

Read it.

This is a typical Crustian New York Times thumb-sucker from an Ashkenazi Jew who has successfully assimilated into the Establishment. A brief look at his bio on Wikipedia shows the typical Crustian curriculum vitae: Selective NY magnet high school, Ivy league undergrad and law school, career on Wall Street leading to modern-day-mandarin jobs in public education and foundation work.

The unspoken assumption throughout the article is that it is somehow an Obvious Bad Thing that more kids from rich families go to college than kids from poor families. I’ll play straight man and ask: Why? More kids from rich families get to drive BMWs than kids from poor families; nobody appears to care about that. More kids from rich families get no-show jobs in government and NGOs than kids from poor families (yeah, I’m looking at you, Chelsea Clinton), yet nobody wrings their hands about it in the New York Times. What makes ‘poor kids’ so uniquely gifted that there needs to be a special effort to get them into college? Somehow this effort is needed ‘to make sure higher education is aligned with the democratic values we share.’ Really? How so? The answer is not provided.

The best thing ‘selective schools’ could do for kids from poor families is return to the system of academic merit that was trashed when too many grubby Jews (and, nowadays, Asians) started crowding the Children of the Crust out of ‘selective schools’. The problem with that, of course, is that too many offspring of the Fashionable Victim class would be rejected, and in today’s Politically Correct world that’s not only unacceptable, it’s unthinkable.

‘Menacing’ Census Question? David Brooks Dissolves the PBS/NPR Charade That He’s Conservative

PBS and NPR both use New York Times columnist David Brooks as their one “house conservative” to assess the week in review on Fridays. And both know that isn’t the slightest bit accurate. On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, Brooks beat liberal Mark Shields to the punch in declaring it was “menacing” for the 2020 census to once again ask people if they are a citizen of the United States, and he proclaimed the anti-gun “March for Our Lives” was a “moderate” march that gave him hope.

The relevant distinction is not liberal/conservative but Crust/nonCrust. And Brooks is dyed-in-the-wool Crust.

The New York Times seems to have a habit of scrounging up conspiracy theorists in order to tell us the many ways in which The Sky Is Falling. And the overlap between these Chicken Littles and Nanny Staters In Training is huge.

They start off with The Enemy, speaking about the sugar industry in terms more suitable to Jimmy Swaggart denouncing the Devil or Jeff Sessions talking about a Mexican Drug cartel:

The sugar industry and its various offshoots, like the soda industry, have spent years trying to trick you.

Big Sugar has paid researchers to conduct misleading — if not false — studies about the health effects of added sweeteners. It has come up with a dizzying array of euphemistic names for those sweeteners. And it has managed to get sugars into a remarkable three-quarters of all packaged foods in American supermarkets.

How dare they try to make their product attractive! It’s a plot, I tell you! This sounds in the standard proglodyte meme that the Common People are too stupid to be able to make their own choices in life, and so must have Cloud People run their lives.

Most of us, as a result, eat a lot of sugar. We are surrounded by it, and it’s delicious. Unfortunately, sugar also encourages overeating and causes health problems. As confusing as the research on diet can often seem, it consistently points to the harms of sugar, including obesity, diabetes and other diseases.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from sucrose. Big Sugar, like a roaring lion, roams the world seeking someone to add pounds to. Resist it, steadfast in the faith.

Virtually the only way to eat a healthy amount of sugar is to make a conscious effort. You can think of it as a political act: resisting the sugar industry’s attempts to profit off your body. Or you can simply think of it as taking care of yourself.

They’d prefer that you think of it as ‘a political act’, of course. Everything is political these days, or ought to be, at least to people who write in the New York Times.

What would these people do if they didn’t spend their days sticking their noses into other people’s business? They’d have to face the fact that everything they do is stuff that the world could get on perfectly well without. Natural Selection can’t be depended on to weed out the Dirt People, so we have to help it along. I keep expecting one of these op-ed pieces to advocate the establishment of re-education camps for everyone who walks out of Walmart with a six-pack of soda.

Civilization Is Doomed, Says Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich (Again)

22nd March 2018

Read it.

He’s been saying that for fifty years, and he’s been wrong all that time.

You’d think he’d give it up.

And you’d think that people would quit listening to him.

The head-scratcher is that this guy has tenure at Stanford. The shame.

And do so very nicely.

What would ‘campaigners’ have to do if they couldn’t ‘warn’?

CNN Panel Goes Gaga for Stormy Daniels After Tweet: ‘The President Has Met His Match’  In their dreams, perhaps.

Brian Williams Slams GOP Lacking ‘Courage’ to Impeach Trump; ‘Opposite of…a Profile in Courage’  I’m curious about his assumption that lack of courage is the reason the GOP won’t impeach their own President. Where was he when Clinton was impeached?

Of Course: WashPost Compares Ted Kennedy’s Dead Woman to… Trump Era

Former CIA Director John Brennan Offers Crazy Theory That Putin Is Blackmailing Trump  It’s embarrassing that this guy was ever associated with a U.S. intelligence organization. No wonder the CIA gets it wrong most of the time.

Clinton: Trump ‘Undermined’ Presidency To ‘Enrich’ Family  Gee, that sounds just like what she and Bill were doing. Projection?

Biden Says He’d Have ‘Beat The Hell’ Out Of Trump In High School [VIDEO]  Uh, sure. I believe that….

White House Fires Back After WaPo Claims President Trump ‘Ignored’ Warning Not To Congratulate Putin  The Washington Post has, apparently, a very high opinion of itself.

Sean Penn’s Bizarre New Book Slams #MeToo And Calls For Trump-Like Character’s Assassination  Sean Penn isn’t an important person and the fact that he plays one in the movies has deluded him.

MSNBC Repeatedly Alleges Trump is Being Blackmailed by Russia  And the proof is that Trump has removed all of the Russian sanctions. Oh, wait….

Media Blast Trump Econ Pick Kudlow as ‘Hack,’ More Wrong ‘Than Anyone Alive’  More wrong than Nobel Laureate Krugman? I find that hard to believe.

Bill Kristol: Trump Is ‘Scared’ Of The Mueller Investigation  More psychic psychiatry. Trump must be scared because Kristol, in his place would be scared. (Funny — Trump doesn’t act very scared.)

Matthews Hypes Trump and Mueller Locked in ‘Battle to the Death’  You can tell he’s a Democrat because of the Bitter Beer Face.

CNN Panelists: ‘Trump Is Nixon on Steroids and Stilts,’ Country Headed for ‘Crisis’  Running out of actual issues, they revert to their default tactic of name-calling. I thought that whole ‘Trump is Hitler’ thing was so five minutes ago….

‘We Love You’: Morning Joe Panel Fawns Over Impeachment Activist  I’m sure they do.

CNN Freaks: Trump Has Hired a ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ Lawyer  They’re just pissed because they didn’t hire him first.

Jim Carrey unveils painting of Donald Trump as Wicked Witch of the West  When he eventually hits puberty it’s going to come as quite a shock.

McCain Slams Trump For Congratulating Putin: ‘Trump Insulted Every Russian Citizen’  One of the reasons that McCain is such a RINO is the fact that his method of thinking is exactly the same as a liberal Democrat’s: When the available evidence is contrary to his position, the problem is not with his position but rather some defect in the evidence.

Holder: Sessions Needs To Stand Up To Trump  The way Holder stood up to Obama?

Joy Behar Compares Trump To Duterte [VIDEO]  Trump ought to compare Joy Behar to Whoopi Goldberg, but that would be unkind.
