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

31st March 2018

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.

Big Sugar Versus Your Body

23rd March 2018

Read it.

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.

Alternet: Brain Damage May Explain Religious Conservatives

19th March 2018

Read it.

Progressives, ever-ready to congratulate themselves on their “curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness,” are curiously quick to grasp at psychological and medical diagnoses to explain the existence of opinions they don’t share.

Just recently, Slate told us that conservative gun users are sexually repressed and lacking empathy. Not to be outdone, the unhinged lefty site Alternet Friday published an article asserting that there is scientific evidence linking religious fundamentalists and conservatives to brain damage.(It came too late to help Joy Behar, who finally apologized on Thursday for calling Mike Pence and other believing Christians mentally ill.)

I should think it would rather be the people who deny reality (e.g. you can pick whether you want to be a man or a woman today) who would be suspected of brain damage.

Read it.

My question is, what if David Hogg weren’t the bitch of the Democrat party? He’s already got the Democrat appratchik Bitter Beer Face down pat.

Lessons From Palm Beach Gardens

16th March 2018

Read it.

1) The attacker was on FBI radar

2) His weapon of choice was a knife

3) You should know that knives have killed many more people than rifles

4) You did not see this all over the mainstream media because the anti-gun narrative didn’t exist.

Stephen Hawking said popularity of ‘demagogue’ Trump was beyond even his understanding  I guess he wasn’t so smart after all. Actually, it demonstrates that however smart you may be in Area X, it doesn’t necessarily carry over into Areas Y and Z. As my old Dungeon Master used to say, ‘Intelligence and Wisdom are two separate rolls’.

EU council president calls out Donald Trump’s ‘transatlantic bickering’ in face of Russia tension  ‘Calling out’ is just Crustian for ‘talking a lot but doing nothing’. It’s virtue-signalling for blowhards.

Mika Brzezinski Breaks Down Over Trump’s Visit to Mexican Border  Apparently she can’t handle the truth.

Teen Radicalized by Islam Goes on Fatal Stabbing Spree; Nets Silent

They would really rather have something they could blame on Trump.

They couldn’t even run the anti-gun spots because the kid used a knife.

And the cry goes up across the airwaves, ‘What a loser!’

In Blow to Trump, Democrat Poised to Win Close Pennsylvania Special Election

14th March 2018

Read it.

How is this a ‘blow to Trump’? The Democrat ran as close to a I’m-with-Trump campaign as a Democrat was likely to be able to get away with, and the Republican was the kind of local Rotarian businessman who runs in a Democrat district to raise his name recognition for his day job as a favor to the party so long as he doesn’t have to do any actual campaigning.

CNN Touts Diplomat Who Resigned Because of Trump’s ‘Anti-American’ Values  Judging by the record of our State Department over the last 50 years, no ‘diplomat’ has any room to talk about ‘American values’.  Madeleine Albright, for example, wouldn’t know an American value if it peed on her foot.

California AG: Trump Should ‘Be Careful’ If He’s Ever In ‘A Dark Alley With Maxine Waters’  Is that supposed to be complimentary toward Maxine Waters? That she’s just another Thug of Color?

MSNBC Rejects ‘Mythology’ of Trump’s ‘Humanity’: He’s a ‘Sociopath’  Ah, yes, the psychic psychiatrist strikes again. Funny how most of these work for the networks rather than making more money in private practice.

‘Shame On You’: ABC, NBC Whine Trump ‘Caved Entirely’ to NRA  Those who view politics through the Lenin filter of ‘who, whom’ see outcomes not as a result of a persuasion process but as the outcome of a power process. If Trump reversed himself on an issue, it wasn’t because he was persuaded toward the other position, he must have caved to pressure from, e.g. the NRA. (I think this is a little projection on the part of the newsies.)

WashPost’s Gerson: Evangelicals for Trump ‘Sycophantic’ and ‘Slimy Political Operatives’  Much like Gerson.

MSNBC’s Johnson: Trump Is ‘Half a Rally Away from Using the N-Word’  The same ‘N-word’ that black people use all the time? That ‘N-word’?

David Miliband says Corbyn ‘sounded like Trump’ over Skripal, amid criticism of Labour leader’s response  How long before saying that somebody is ‘like Trump’ will be prosecutable as a Hate Crime?

John Kasich Attacks Trump For ‘Soap Opera’ White House  Compared to who, Bill Clinton?

CNN’s Navarro: ‘Glad They’ve Ended This Sham Investigation’, Trump is ‘Unhinged’  Not as unhinged as Navarro, unfortunately.

The Obama Comfort Doll Isn’t the Worst of It

12th March 2018

John Hinderaker of PowerLine tells all.

Jill Abramson, former Executive Editor of the New York Times, told the Guardian that she keeps a Barack Obama doll in her purse and calls on it for comfort in the distressing Age of Trump:

It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washington DC and despair. That’s why I carry a little plastic Obama doll in my purse. I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African American president until very recently. Some people find this strange, but you have to take comfort where you can find it in Donald Trump’s America.

OK, that’s pretty funny. But the rest of Abramson’s column strikes me as more significant. Why? Because she makes no pretense of being anything other than a Democratic Party operative. Writing for the Guardian’s far-left audience, she is among friends. Any pretense of objectivity is gone.
